The incident with Cheng Sijia came to an end, the rumors about Sun Yuqi also disappeared, and Sun Yuqi also returned to calm.
Time passed quietly and it was May. The weather started to get hot. Sun Yuqi just walked out of the school and saw Lin Muren standing at the gate.
"Mu Ran, what's wrong? Are you waiting for me?"
Lin Muren was looking across the school. When he heard Sun Yuqi's voice, he turned around and spoke.
"Yuqi, come out. Let's go somewhere with me first."
After saying that, he got on his bike and left. Sun Yuqi raised her eyebrows and also got on her bike to catch up with him.
The two rode their bicycles for about half an hour and stopped in an alley.
Looking at the dirty and messy alley in front of her, Sun Yuqi already had some guesses in her mind, but she frowned a little. This alley looked really too messy.
Lin Muren saw Sun Yuqi's frown and smiled.
"Let's go in and take a look first, and then we'll talk after we've seen it."
Pushing their bicycles, the two walked into the alley. They didn't realize until they reached the end of the alley that there was an exit.
They stopped at a distant door at the end. Lin Muren walked up and knocked on the door. It opened soon and a middle-aged woman in her forties walked out.
"Hello, are you Aunt Mu?"
The middle-aged woman's eyes flashed with understanding when she heard this, and she immediately smiled and said kindly.
"Are you the little girl from the Lin family?"
Lin Muren said with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie, I came over to look at the yard today."
When Aunt Mu heard what Lin Muran said, the smile on her face suddenly became even bigger, and she hurriedly opened the door.
"Come in, I'll open the door."
The two pushed their bicycles into the yard. Sun Yuqi was wondering why Lin Muren chose this yard, because from the outside the yard looked a bit too shabby, but she didn't expect to realize how good this yard was until she entered the yard.
It turns out that this yard is really indescribable, it is so beautiful. It is already May now, and the flowers and plants in the yard are growing very beautifully. There is also a grape trellis, and under the trellis there is a stone table and four stone benches.
There is also a pomegranate tree in the yard, which is full of pomegranates, but they are not ripe yet.
"Aunt Mu, how much are you willing to sell this courtyard for? I just checked it out and it's a two-story courtyard with a total of fifteen rooms."
Aunt Mu looked at Lin Muran gently.
"Lin family girl, you are not an outsider, and Auntie will not lie to you. If you say those empty words, the price is 18,000 yuan."
After hearing this, Lin Muren felt that it was a little too expensive, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he walked over to Sun Yuqi and asked.
"Yuqi, do you think eighteen thousand yuan is expensive?"
It’s hard to say about Sun Yuqi, but 18,000 is indeed a bit expensive at this time, but the return in the future will definitely not be low.
"Mu Ran, I think it's pretty good. I went to see a yard a few days ago, and it was worse than this one. It was priced at 17,000, and I finally got it for 15,000. You can try to bargain down the price, but I estimate the lowest price will not be less than 15,000."
After listening to Sun Yuqi's words, Lin Muren had an idea in his mind.
After bargaining, we finally bought the yard for 15,500 yuan.
The two walked out of the yard, talking as they went.
"Mu Ran, did you use your own money to buy the yard?"
Lin Muren sighed and then spoke.
"Where do I have the money? Grandpa gave me the money to buy the yard, but you can't tell anyone about it. My grandpa did tell my cousins, but they don't know about it yet. If they knew, they would definitely say that my grandpa is biased."
After hearing what Lin Muren said, Sun Yuqi's doubts were resolved. She remembered that in the book, the heroine Lin Muren seemed to have started buying several courtyard houses in the mid-to-late 1980s, but now she started buying them so early. She thought it was because she influenced her.
Sun Yuqi now thinks that she has bought four courtyard houses, plus a small second floor. Now she has five properties and two shops in Beijing. One of the shops has been rented out after being introduced by Mu Jingran some time ago, and the remaining one is temporarily vacant.
Sun Yuqi was still wondering whether she needed to buy a few more shops or houses. Yes, it seemed that she had to find a way to buy a house in Zhonghai City. If she went to Zhonghai in the future, she would have a place to live. However, she couldn't be too anxious about this matter for the time being. She still needed to find an opportunity to go to Zhonghai City. As the Magic City in the future in the book, Sun Yuqi still felt it necessary to buy a house.
The summer of 1978 arrived, and Sun Yuqi was on vacation. She planned to go to Zhonghai City to see if she could buy a house. Originally, she was not in a hurry, but after thinking about it, she decided to go and take a look. If she could buy one, then she would buy it. If not, she would just go on a trip.
On July 12, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren boarded the train to Zhonghai City.
"Oh, it's too hot. If I had known, I wouldn't have come. I listened to you and suffered this."
Lin Muren complained while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Sun Yuqi looked at Lin Muren, who was sweating profusely, and smiled.
"Okay, you've been complaining since we got on the train. Now that we're on the train, why are you still complaining? It'll be cooler once the train starts moving."
Lin Muren took out a bottle of mint water from her small bag and took a sip, then she felt much better.
"I'm not complaining, it's just that the weather is too hot. Even if you're right, we can always come back after winter break!"
Sun Yuqi curled her lips.
"Come on, it's winter vacation, and you're bound to say it's too cold to go out in the winter."
Lin Muren disagreed.
"You're talking about Yaoyao, right? That spoiled brat is like that. In the two years I've been in Northeast China, haven't you noticed when I've ever complained about hardship?"
Sun Yuqi thought so too and stopped worrying about it. The train started to move towards the south.
Sun Yuqi and her friend asked Mu Jingran to buy the train tickets, both of which were sleeper tickets. They had originally wanted to ask Chen Hao to help buy them, but who knew that just after the holiday, Chen Hao was thrown into the army by his grandfather, who said that he did not meet the requirements and was not allowed to come back this summer.
Sun Yuqi slept on the middle bunk and Lin Muran slept on the lower bunk. It was noon when they got on the bus, which was also the hottest time of the day. There were not many people in the carriage when they got on. Sun Yuqi was the only one in the compartment where they were. They chatted and fell asleep unknowingly.
It would take a day and a night to get to Zhonghai City, which meant that the two of them would arrive in Zhonghai City at noon tomorrow.
