After a pause, Old Xue continued, "But the 18,000 yuan I spent on the purchase was really a burden. It made it hard for me to even buy goods in the past two years. Sometimes I really wanted to build a wall and then sell it. Anyway, the housing prices have risen a bit in the past two years. If I sell the house now, I can get more than 30,000 yuan at least."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Master Xue, you bought a good house! Listen to me, if you are not in a hurry to use the money, don't sell this house. When your place is demolished, you'd better exchange it for two residential buildings, and then replace the remaining area with retail houses, even if you have to pay more money, you must replace it with retail houses. As long as you have a retail house of more than 100 square meters, I guarantee that you and your wife will never worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!"
"Really?" Old Xue asked with shining eyes.
"Haha, if you trust me, you can just listen to my promise!"
Old Xue nodded. Although he didn't say anything, Yang Jing could see that he was moved.
"Brother Yang, what do you think of this room? I specially cleaned up this room to store valuables. It happened that I haven't purchased much stuff in recent days, so this room is empty. I'll give it to you today." Old Xue led Yang Jing to the east wing, opened the door, pointed inside and said.
Yang Jing took a look and thought, wow, this house is really nice, especially in this day and age, a bungalow like this is already quite good.
The room is not small. It should be that Old Xue connected the two east wing rooms. The windows are all sealed up. The floor and walls are covered with tiles, and there is a ceiling above. This makes the room look like the bathroom or kitchen in a residential building in later generations.
Of course Yang Jing understood why Lao Xue decorated the house like this. It was to prevent moisture and theft.
"Well, this house is nice. Lao Xue, how much would you like to rent this house for a day?"
Lao Xue rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Yang, I actually rented this house out before. Some guests from other places bought things in the market, and sometimes they bought a lot. They also looked for a house around the market to rent and put their things like you did... In the past, the price I rented out was 100 yuan a day, you see..."
One hundred a day is really not cheap in this era. You should know that in this era, renting a yard near the Third Ring Road costs about five or six hundred a month.
But Yang Jing couldn't care less about the money now, so he readily agreed.
Mainly through contact, Yang Jing felt that Old Xue was a really nice person. Although he was a bit of a nag, he had a really good heart, and he felt at ease leaving things with him.
Seeing Yang Jing agreed, Old Xue happily shouted towards the north room: "Dongmei, come here quickly and bring all the keys to the east room."
After this shout, a middle-aged woman in her forties with a pretty face walked out quickly from the house with a bunch of keys. She was a little nervous when she saw Yang Jing. Yang Jing responded with a smile and a nod.
"Brother Yang, this is my wife, Liu Dongmei. Dongmei, this is Mr. Yang, you are renting our house today." Old Xue said as he handed the keys to Yang Jing, "Brother Yang, these are all the keys to this house. Since you are renting my house today, I have to hand over all the keys to you. Don't worry, we don't have a single key left for this house."
Yang Jing took the key with a smile and said, "Old Xue, I believe you."
Old Xue, like a child being praised by a teacher, turned to his wife and said, "Dongmei, you don't have to go anywhere today. Your job today is to stay at home and watch. The things Mr. Yang bought at the market are all valuable. He trusted us to leave his things with us. We have to protect Mr. Yang's things no matter what."
Lao Xue’s wife didn’t seem to like talking much, she just nodded very vigorously.
Lao Xue said again: "Wife, what shall we eat for breakfast?"
"Millet porridge, pickles and fruit. I just bought the fruit and the millet porridge is ready. Do you want to eat it now?"
Old Xue rubbed his hands and said to Yang Jing with a smile: "Brother Yang, let's have something hot at home together. Don't be disgusted. The millet porridge cooked by my wife is delicious."
Yang Jing looked at his watch and found that it was already past six o'clock, so he smiled and nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you."
While Old Xue's wife was preparing breakfast, Yang Jing and Old Xue worked together to move all the things on the tricycle into the house, locked the wooden door inside, and locked the anti-theft door outside. With double insurance and someone else at home, Yang Jing felt relieved.
After locking the door, Yang Jing followed Old Xue into the north room. The north room of the courtyard in Yanjing City is the main room, where people live, and is usually the best decorated. However, Old Xue's main room cannot be compared with the wing room just now. The floor is still brick and stone, without even a floor tile, and the four walls are simply painted white...
They lived quite comfortably, so Yang Jing didn't care about it. After entering the house, it was the living room. At this time, in a corner of the living room, Lao Xue's wife had already arranged millet porridge, pickles and a lot of fruits (fried dough sticks).
"Come on, eat it while it's hot. Don't be polite. If you don't eat quickly on this day, it will get cold in a while." Old Xue sat down first, and his wife Liu Dongmei walked into the inner room.
Yang Jing sat down and asked, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to eat with us?"
"Never mind him, let's eat first. You still have to go to the market later. If you eat too slowly, this ghost market will be gone."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing didn't hesitate and picked up a fried dough stick with chopsticks, took a big bite, and started eating.
