Chapter 132 I bought them all
They were about to leave for Kyoto, but the sports school didn't have summer vacation. Gu Jianguo didn't want the whole family to go out and play, leaving his third daughter behind, so he went to the sports school to ask for leave for Gu Sanjing.
When Gu Sanjing found out that they were going to Kyoto, she jumped up with joy.
The Han family also wanted to buy a house, but only Han Deyi went to Kyoto and no one else went. Gu Siqing asked Gu Jianguo why, and he said that the Han family's business could not do without people.
Actually, this season is off-season for clothes, and the same applies to shoes. Besides, the Han brothers aren't usually busy at the store. But Gu Jianguo didn't seem to want to talk much, so Gu Siqing didn't ask any more questions. She simply asked what gifts the brothers wanted, and she would bring them from Kyoto.
Han Zhengping and Han Zhengyang didn't know what was in Kyoto, so they just asked her to take care of it.
It takes about two days to take a train from Lizhou to Kyoto. Gu Jianguo bought the ticket in advance and got a sleeper ticket, so the journey was relatively easy.
Gu Jianguo had already told Ye Chi the train number they were taking, and as soon as they left the train station, they saw Ye Chi standing at the exit. He was tall and handsome in his military uniform, with an outstanding demeanor. Among the crowd coming and going, he was the most eye-catching one.
Gu Yimin's gaze lingered on him for a moment before she left. Ye Chi, on the other hand, immediately looked at her. She was wearing a light blue dress, and her hair fluttered in the wind as she walked, making her look youthful and lively.
Ye Chi looked a little dazed, but he still restrained himself and looked away and greeted Gu Jianguo, "Uncle Gu, are you tired from the journey?"
Gu Jianguo laughed, "We're in a sleeper berth, so we're not tired. Please come and pick us up."
Ye Chi naturally said it was no trouble, and then led everyone to the parking lot. He drove two cars when he came, one of which was his own and the other was Ye Xingjian's car.
Gu Jianguo, Wang Yueju and Gu Yimin rode in Ye Chi's car, while Gu Siqing, Gu Erhui, Gu Sanjing and Han Deyi rode in the car driven by guard Ye Xingjian.
"My dad originally wanted to let you stay at home, but there is a shortage of rooms at home, so I booked a few rooms at the People's Hotel." Ye Chi said as he drove.
He could see Gu Yimin leaning against the car window looking at the scenery outside from the rearview mirror, with curiosity on his face, so he added, "I've taken a few days off, and I'll take you around Kyoto then."
Gu Jianguo had been in the army before and knew that leave was rare and difficult to obtain, so he asked, "Will it not interfere with your work?"
Ye Chi immediately said: "No, I still have vacation time."
Gu Jianguo didn't say anything else.
"I have asked someone to find five houses. Two of them are next to the Forbidden City. They are of suitable size, but the prices are relatively high. You can compare them when the time comes." Ye Chi talked about the houses.
After hearing this, Gu Jianguo asked, "How much does a house next to the Forbidden City cost?"
"One house is about 600 to 700 square meters and is priced at 15,000 yuan. The other houses are not priced that high and are priced at 10,000 yuan."
Gu Jianguo was a little undecided. A difference of 5,000 yuan was no small sum. However, even if he didn't know much about Kyoto, he knew that a location next to the Forbidden City was definitely a good one.
"Let me think about it." Gu Jianguo said.
Ye Chi also knew that buying a house was no small matter and that it must be carefully considered. He didn't know how much money the Gu family had now, but with his own and Ye Xingjian's allowances, they couldn't just buy a house casually.
In the car behind, Gu Siqing also leaned against the window to look at the scenery outside. Compared to decades later, Kyoto at this time was naturally much simpler, but it showed its simplicity, without the noise and impetuousness of later times.
Decades later, many people said that society at that time was worse than in the 1980s, with a smaller gap between the rich and the poor and less life and mental pressure.
In fact, it seems that whether there is pressure or not is entirely up to the heart. If she had to choose, Gu Siqing would still prefer to live in a few decades from now, when living conditions are better.
The People's Hotel is one of the best hotels in Kyoto. Even though Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi often travel to the south, they have never stayed in such a high-end hotel.
After everything was settled, Ye Chi asked them to rest first and he would pick them up to have dinner at his house tomorrow. Gu Jianguo wanted to refuse, but Ye Chi said that Ye Xingjian wanted to thank Gu Yimin in person, so he had to agree.
There is a restaurant in the hotel. When a few people went to the restaurant together, they saw that everyone inside was well-dressed and behaved elegantly. There was even a table with two blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners.
In this environment, only Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing felt comfortable, while the others were a bit reserved. It was their first time in such a prestigious place, and they were afraid of doing something wrong and being laughed at.
Fortunately, their clothes were not bad, which made them feel more confident.
At this moment, Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing had already walked to the food selection area. Gu Sanjing saw the food she had never seen before and felt her mouth watering.
"Xiao Si, what should I do if I want to eat everything?" Gu Sanjing asked in a low voice.
Gu Siqing leaned close to her ear and said, "If you take too much and can't finish it, people will say you're wasting food."
Gu Sanjing nodded reluctantly as she looked at the dishes one by one. Seeing this, Gu Siqing said, "We'll be staying here for several days anyway. We can have two dishes for each meal. That way, we can try every dish by the time we leave."
Gu Sanjing was happy when he heard this, and followed others to pick up the plate and pick up the food.
Seeing that the two little guys were so comfortable, Gu Jianguo and his friends relaxed a lot and started to pick food with their plates.
"There doesn't seem to be such a hotel in Lizhou." Gu Erhui said in a low voice after taking the food and sitting down.
Gu Siqing looked at her and wondered if her second sister was planning to open a hotel like this in Lizhou. It wouldn't be impossible to start a hotel chain at this time.
But they don’t have the conditions yet, at least they have no experience in hotel management.
As she was thinking this, she heard Gu Erhui say, "A hotel like this must be very expensive. It's definitely not feasible to open one in Lizhou."
Gu Siqing took a sip of porridge and whispered, "This should be state-owned."
Gu Erhui had no idea of opening such a hotel in Lizhou. She had no such concept at all, or she didn't even dare to think about it.
After dinner, they returned to their room. Gu Jianguo explained the situation of several houses that Ye Chi had found, and then asked, "Which house do you think is best to buy?"
Wang Yueju thought for a moment and said, "I think we should buy something cheaper, since we're in Kyoto anyway."
Gu Erhui said, "I think the house next to the Forbidden City is good. It has a good location. We don't need the 5,000 yuan."
Han Deyi also wanted a house next to the Forbidden City.
Gu Yimin said she thought anywhere would be fine, while Gu Sanjing kept chewing on the preserved fruit. There were many kinds of preserved fruit here, and they were really delicious.
Gu Siqing looked at everyone and said, "Just buy them all. We can afford it anyway."
