Seeing that the afternoon working time was almost up, Chen Xia returned to the hospital with two bottles of wine.
He rarely drank liquor in his previous life.
Who drinks baijiu at the bar? It's that stuff that makes you drunk. Are those long-legged Carlota, the little Mustang Therese, and the electric motor Daria still going to hook up? Is he still Mr. Chen?
Ahem, these were all things he had heard from others. Anyway, he had never personally experienced them...
So Chen Xia planned to take these two bottles of Wuliangye back to honor his master.
Who knew that when he appeared in the department with two bottles of wine, he was seen by Gu Lin, who thought he was bringing back some delicious food again and hurried over.
"Chen Xia, what's that in your hand?"
"Two bottles of white wine, Miss Gu, do you want some?"
"Oh, it's Wuliangye again. My dad loves it the most. Brother, can you give me a bottle? I'll continue to bring you food tomorrow."
The little girl made a pitiful expression again and looked at Chen Xia with her big eyes blinking.
"But I'm planning on drinking this..."
"What are you planning?" Gu Lin grabbed one of the bottles of wine and said, "I want to thank you on behalf of my dad, hehe."
Chen Xia was speechless. This was clearly a robbery. They really didn't treat me as an outsider. Shaking his head, he went to the toilet and quietly took out a large front door from the space, and walked into Ren Yuanfei's office.
Ren Yuanfei was reading a domestic medical journal. Recently, inspired by Chen Xia, he picked up the book again to recharge himself.
"Master, this is the wine that Manager Yu from the guesthouse gave me. Gu Lin just snatched a bottle away and said she wanted to give it to her father. There's only one bottle left, so I'm giving it to you to try."
Chen Xia put down the Wuliangye and cigarettes and sat aside.
Ren Yuanfei was not polite either. He now knew that his little disciple was not short of money.
Besides, what's wrong with taking some of his apprentice's cigarettes and alcohol? The master is like a father, so it's natural and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
"Wuliangye, great wine, thank you. I haven't had such good wine in a long time. And Daqianmen, it's pretty good. By the way, don't you know who Gu Lin's father is?"
"Should I...know?"
"Fool!"
While evaluating the liquor, Ren Yuanfei continued:
"Although your medical skills are quite solid, most of what you have mastered is theoretical knowledge. You are still far from the standard of a qualified doctor. Going forward, seek advice from other doctors and strive to obtain your certificate of completion as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely get started as soon as possible and strive to get the skilled worker's salary as soon as possible."
"Hey, kid, are you still short of money?"
"Yes, I still need the money to marry my daughter. Without a house, a car, and a betrothal gift, my mother-in-law won't marry her off."
"Haha, I've only heard of three turns and one ring, but I've never heard of anyone asking for a house, a car, or a betrothal gift. If it was that girl Gu Lin, I guarantee her mother wouldn't ask for such high prices."
"Master, you are going too far. We are as pure as Wahaha purified water."
"Hahaha."
After coming out of Ren Yuanfei's office, Chen Xia spent the whole afternoon studying the clinical drugs of this era, being a good student who studies hard.
Yu Deshui was quite reliable. The next afternoon, he ran to the infectious disease department of the Fourth Hospital to find Chen Xia.
"Brother Chen, can you take a leave this afternoon? I'll take you to see some houses."
"Brother Yu is awesome. Wait for me for a moment. I'll go ask my master for leave."
When Ren Yuanfei heard that Chen Xia was going to Ke Town to buy a house, he was quite supportive.
He knew best how hard it was for Chen Bingkun to ride a bicycle to and from get off work every day, especially in bad weather. He had to leave home two or three hours in advance, and in winter he would leave before dawn.
He did not think that such an effort was meaningful, and he had advised Chen Bingkun to get a staff house.
But Chen Bingkun thought that his wife was a farmer and had to work in the countryside to earn work points. In addition, he had four children and the staff housing only had two rooms, which was not enough for them to live in. So he chose to use the subsidy to build a house in the countryside.
"Buying a house is a good idea, so go ahead. One afternoon isn't enough, and I'll give you tomorrow off. This is a big deal, so you need to do more research. If you don't have enough money, Master has some savings at home."
Chen Xia gave his master a thumbs up. These days, every household is having difficulties, but Ren Yuanfei is willing to lend him money. This is definitely true love, and he must accept it.
Yu Deshui found three houses for Chen Xia.
The first set has the best geographical location, separated from the Fourth Hospital by only a canal, and is only a ten-minute walk around Kedong Bridge.
The house is an old-style courtyard with a patio in the middle and houses surrounding it. Now all the rooms are full of people.
The house being sold is owned by a family in the east wing. The asking price is not high, only 400 yuan for three rooms.
But Chen Xia looked around and was not satisfied.
There are too many residents in the slum, and when there are more people, there will be more trouble. When Chen Xia and his friends came to see the house, the eyes of the other families were full of vigilance.
This strange look made Chen Xia very uncomfortable. Not to mention whether it was comfortable to live there, he didn't even have the most basic privacy.
The sound insulation is so poor that you can probably hear the couple next door handing in their homework at night.
So I just passed this house.
Yu Deshui also nodded and said with great understanding:
"I also think the living environment here isn't very good, but the price is cheap and it's close to your hospital, so I brought you here. If you don't like it, that's fine. We can go and look at the second apartment."
The second apartment is located next to the district government. It is also a courtyard house, but it is much larger.
It turned out that the district government was using it as a warehouse. Yu Deshui used someone's connections to get the house from the director of the housing management office, who promised that the ownership could be transferred.
The house is big enough, but the problem is that it is too dilapidated.
The old houses in Jiangnan are mainly made of wood and other old-fashioned materials. Because no one has lived in them for a long time, the whole house is in disrepair. When Chen Xia walked up the wooden stairs, the creaking sound made him wonder if it would be broken.
Yu Deshui had obviously studied the house in advance.
"Brother Chen, the downside of this house is that it's too run-down, but the upside is that it's not expensive. If you want to buy it, you'll have to renovate it thoroughly, otherwise it won't be habitable anytime soon."
"Brother Yu, how much would it cost if I bought this apartment? And what would be the budget for renovation?"
"I've asked around for you, and it's not expensive to buy. You can just pay 1,200 yuan. After all, it's spacious enough with its own door and yard. The renovation budget is a bit high, though. With furniture and everything, it'll cost at least 1,000 yuan."
Chen Xia thought about it and felt that he could afford it with a budget of around 2,200 yuan, but the house was too dilapidated and renovation would be a hassle.
He wanted to be able to move in right away, so he had to use this apartment as a backup.
Ready to see what the third house will look like?
