When everyone had almost left, Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Liu saw that Song Yining could no longer contain herself.
The two old men looked at Song Yining with doting eyes.
"Whether you want to buy a house or not, I can tell from your expression just now."
"Knowing you're interested, I'll be waiting for you to finish your work." The old man looked at Song Yining with a proud air.
"Hey! Grandpa really has a sharp eye. I need to start planning for the future of my children. There are three of them now, so I need to start saving now."
Song Yining didn't stand on ceremony and told them about her intention to buy a house.
The old man was shrewd; he didn't say anything and prepared to take her to see him.
Because his old friend was in a hurry, he and Song Yining didn't refuse and went home together to look around the alley.
Song Yining's family supports whatever she does, and even Grandpa Mo supports her given the current situation.
I rode my bicycle with them, and the group headed towards Wenchang Road to look at the houses.
When the group arrived at the courtyard, the three of them stood at the gate and saw a gaunt old man looking at the people who had just left with a worried expression.
"Old Huang, what's wrong?"
Grandpa Huang looked at his old neighbor with a worried expression and said, "Hey! It's all because of those people living there. Now, nobody wants to see them anymore."
"It's alright, I've found you a place to buy a house. Let's go take a look inside." The old man's face lit up with joy, knowing that there were still residents in his yard who hadn't moved out yet.
"This is Dr. Song. Don't let his young age fool you, he's a very skilled doctor. You can have your body checked."
"Alright, I'll be busy with the yard lately, but I'll have to bother you when I have time."
"You're too kind, sir!"
As he spoke, Old Master Huang's legs still moved involuntarily inside.
Looking at the people who hadn't moved out of the yard, he was also very troubled.
Even the most learned family in the Huang family lacked the courage to act so boldly; they all looked at the three of them with embarrassed expressions.
"It's alright, let's go take a look."
The three of them looked at the courtyard, which was relatively well-preserved, but the haphazard constructions made by the people there made it look a bit dirty and messy.
This courtyard is a two-section courtyard, housing ten families in total.
The Huang family members didn't move out when they returned; they had nowhere to live.
Fortunately, their home isn't just this one yard, so they still have somewhere to live.
Song Yining thought the courtyard was not bad, and with some later repairs, it would be habitable.
All the residents in the courtyard were watching as more house-hunting people came. Everyone was home this time, and they were all looking at them warily.
But then I thought about how they all lived here, and I got the courage to stop caring.
Recently, there have been multiple houses looking at the property, but no one seems to be able to buy it.
They were also watching and seeing who would buy it; everyone was just watching.
Song Yining has plenty of ways to deal with things. As long as the yard is okay, she'll think about how to take over the house later.
After the four finished looking around, they returned to the Chen family courtyard to discuss the price of the courtyard.
“You can see the situation in my yard clearly. We can’t drive those people away, and the neighborhood committee can’t do anything about it either.” The old man looked at Song Yining.
Song Yining was also aware of the issues surrounding these events in history.
"It's alright, I can handle this. Grandpa, how much do you think the yard costs? The rest is my problem."
The old man was also surprised to hear this, and was speechless for a moment. "Really? My old man has met a good person today!"
After thinking for a moment, he said with a thoughtful expression, "We'll calculate it at the market price. We can't solve the problem with my yard, so we'll give you a lower price. You can handle it yourself."
After saying that, he looked at his old friend, then at himself, wondering if this was acceptable.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Chen nodded. Mr. Huang said, "Then let's calculate it as 5,000 yuan. I didn't say anything more to you."
The market price is over 6,000, but I'm only doing this because there are people in the yard who want you to handle it, and besides, Old Chen solved my problem.”
Song Yining thought the price was reasonable, considering the courtyard was a large two-section house and was well-preserved overall.
“Alright, we’ll handle the formalities today. You don’t need to worry about things in the yard.” He then looked at Old Master Huang.
The old man hadn't expected things to be so easy today; they had all given up hope for the courtyard.
After saying that, they went to the subdistrict office. Fortunately, there was Grandpa Chen there. After getting the certificate, they went to the housing management bureau to complete the procedures.
Song Yining went to a nearby bank, walked around, and took out the money she wanted to use to buy a house.
I knew people along the way, so things were very efficient, and it was all done in no time.
After everything was settled, the old man counted the money while Song Yining carried her bag.
Looking at the person who processed my property certificate today, they did it perfectly in no time.
Song Yining was not stingy and secretly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the staff member.
Liu Tao touched what looked like cigarette in his hand and was startled; this woman was really going all out.
Song Yining said softly, "Here you go. I'd like to see if you have any houses left. I'd like to buy a few more, as there aren't enough rooms for our family."
Upon hearing what Song Yining said, Old Master Huang quickly grabbed his clothes and gestured with his eyes that he had something to say.
Liu Tao nodded quickly when he heard what Song Yining said.
"No problem, but not today, they're all out. I'll take you to see some houses around here tomorrow, there are still some available recently."
"Okay, I'll come over when I have time."
"Okay, just call me Liu Tao. Come over and tell them my name." Liu Tao was already overjoyed.
After Song Yining finished speaking with Liu Tao, she hurried out to see what Grandpa Huang wanted her to do.
Seeing the old man hesitate, Song Yining knew he had something else to say.
"Grandpa, what's the matter that you pulled me here earlier?"
Grandpa Huang looked at Song Yining with an embarrassed expression before speaking to her.
“I see you still want to buy a house. We have another house for sale, which is also a two-story house.”
Similar to the courtyard over there, it has a storefront in front, and both are looking to sell.
These two courtyards are better preserved than this one; people used to live there, but they've all moved away now.
Song Yining was also excited when she heard that it was still a storefront.
"Alright, how far is it from here? Let's go take a look."
Grandpa Huang was so excited he didn't know what to do, and Grandpa Chen also went with them today.
Song Yining was taking care of her health, so he was happy to help.
There was absolutely no impatience on his part. Besides, he had grown up with Lao Huang, and the old man was just thinking of helping if he could.
The group then went to the courtyard of the storefront, which was fortunately not far from here, and they were all riding bicycles quickly.
Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at the courtyard with storefronts. Unexpectedly, the two courtyards were still together.
This one is clearly better preserved; both courtyards have wells.
It seems that not many people lived here at the time, and it was much better preserved than the traditional courtyard houses.
The Huang family members were all at home at this time, and they were delighted to see that someone was looking at the house.
