Although he didn't know much about what happened to his old friend back then, he had heard some things. He had no right to comment on whether abandoning the child was right or wrong. Now it seemed that the child was very resentful.
"Girl, you should know that this small second-floor apartment of mine is not cheap. Do you really have the money to buy it? You should know that although I am an old acquaintance of them, I won't give you a discount on this house."
Sun Yuqi said with a smile.
"Grandpa Lan, I didn't expect you to sell it to me cheaply. Just name a price. If it's suitable, I'll buy it. But, Grandpa Lan, you only accept gold, and I don't have much cash."
Lan Tianhe was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that this girl actually had gold, but he didn't want to go into it further, so he just said.
"Gold is fine too. Let's talk about my house first! You've already seen it. It has two floors, eight rooms in total, and a yard of about 200 square meters. The total price is 13,000 yuan. Not a penny less. This is the lowest price I'll give you."
After hearing Lan Tianhe's quotation, Sun Yuqi naturally would not think it was expensive. According to the book he read during the apocalypse, the housing prices at this time were really cheap, but it was only relative to later generations. It sounded cheap, but the average wage per capita in this era was very low. A normal worker only earned about 30 yuan a month, which was considered high. Some only earned a dozen or twenty yuan a month. If you want to save money to buy a house, you don't know how many years it will take?
Sun Yuqi thought about it and stopped worrying about the price, so she said.
"Deal, Grandpa Lan. I'll go back and prepare the gold now. I'll come back at three in the afternoon and we'll go through the paperwork. How about that?"
Lan Tianhe nodded without further questioning. "Okay, we don't have to go in person to handle the transfer formalities this afternoon. We can leave it to Zhao Kang!"
After the two of them agreed on something, Lan Tianhe took Sun Yuqi and started to walk around every room.
There is a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room on the first floor.
There are four bedrooms and a terrace on the second floor. There is a wooden frame on the terrace covered with vines. It is a great place to cool off in the summer, and the view is also good.
After leaving Lan Tianhe's house, Sun Yuqi went to eat first, found a secluded place, took out the gold bars from the space, and roughly estimated that it would take about 650 grams of gold to buy a house (the price of gold was 20 yuan per gram at that time). Sun Yuqi packed it in a canvas and went to Lan Tianhe's house.
When they arrived, Zhao Kang was already there, but he didn't see Qin Jianguo. Sun Yuqi didn't ask about him, as they had only met once.
Zhao Kang already knew that Sun Yuqi was planning to trade with gold. Lan Tian must have told him something, so he just took the gold out and came back in just an hour. He didn't tell Sun Yuqi about the process, but took out a small notebook and gave it to Sun Yuqi.
"From now on, Grandpa Lan's house will be yours. You can be considered to have a home in Beijing."
Sun Yuqi took the small notebook, opened it and took a look. The name of the landlord on it was her own name. She felt relieved and looked at Zhao Kang.
"Brother Zhao, could you please keep an eye on it for me in the future? If anyone else wants to sell a courtyard house, please let me know. I'd like to buy one."
Zhao Kang was shocked when he heard Sun Yuqi say this.
"Sun Zhiqing, you still want to buy this? One house is enough for you, why do you want to buy another one? This one is not enough for eating or drinking, you can't waste money like this!"
Sun Yuqi couldn't tell him that these houses would be more valuable in a few years, so she had to say it.
"Isn't this a small second floor? I also want to buy a courtyard house. Then I can live in two places in rotation. It can change my mood, right?"
After hearing Sun Yuqi's explanation, Zhao Kang suddenly felt that it was fortunate that this girl was not a family member. This would be too wasteful. She even changed the residence and the mood. She was really shameless to say that. However, since Sun Yuqi said so, he had to agree. After all, it was not his own money, right?
"Okay, I'll be more careful next time. But you'll be going back to the Northeast in a few days, right? I have a courtyard house here, so why would you come over?"
Zhao Kang didn't understand Sun Yuqi's actions, but since she insisted, he just asked her. What Zhao Kang couldn't understand even more was that Sun Yuqi was in the countryside and didn't know when she could return to the city.
Lan Tianhe sat aside and watched Sun Yuqi and Zhao Kang talking. He was different from Zhao Kang. He worked in the government. Some things had already shown some signs. Zhao Kang didn't know, but he knew. The news would probably be announced in a few months at the latest. It seemed that this girl was not simple either. She was preparing for a rainy day so that she could have a home in Beijing in the future!
"Okay, Zhao Kang, since Miss Sun wants to buy a house and she has the money, then go ahead and buy it. You just need to find a house for her. I will also ask around with the neighbors."
When Zhao Kang heard what Grandpa Lan said, he stopped talking. The two of them left Lan Tianhe's house. Lan Tianhe and Sun Yuqi discussed and decided to move tomorrow, and Sun Yuqi would come to take over the house the day after tomorrow.
"Sun Zhiqing, let me take you back to the military district guesthouse now!"
Sun Yuqi also knew Zhao Kang's good intentions. It would take nearly two hours to walk from here to the military area. Now that Zhao Kang could take her there, she was willing to do so.
Zhao Kang sent her downstairs to the guesthouse and went back. Sun Yuqi entered the room, took out the small notebook again, looked at it, and then put it into the space. She would have a home in Beijing in the future. It was June now, and in three months, the notice of resuming the college entrance examination should be issued. The college entrance examination would start in December at the end of the year. It seemed that she should go back quickly, study hard, and try not to do too badly in the exam so that she could be admitted to Peking University.
Early the next morning, Sun Yuqi did not think about looking for a car to go to Jing City. Instead, she chose to take a remote road and used her speed ability to run towards Jing City. When she arrived at the suburbs of Jing City, she began to walk slowly. It was not until 8:30 in the morning that she arrived at Grandpa Mu's house. She was lucky today, as the old couple were at home.
When Grandpa Mu and Grandma Sun saw Sun Yuqi, they were very surprised and hurriedly helped Sun Yuqi into the yard.
"When did you arrive in Beijing? Why didn't you write in advance so your Grandpa Mu and I could pick you up? Now that you've arrived in Beijing, where are you staying? Is it convenient? It would be more comfortable for you to move in here, wouldn't it?"
Grandma Sun’s series of questions made Sun Yuqi not know how to answer, but fortunately Grandpa Mu was there to persuade her.
"Okay, I can't answer your question. Go get me a cup of tea. It's so hot, I guess I'm thirsty."
