Chapter 319 The house is in hand

The old man didn't expect that the price he casually offered would actually be accepted.

His hometown is a rural area in Lu Province. With this 3,000 yuan, he won't have to worry for at least ten years.

If he could still do business, this house would definitely be sold at a bargain price of 3,000 yuan, but now he can't do business and can only use it as a residence. This price is indeed a bit high.

"My dear, why don't you go back and discuss it with your parents? If there are any problems, we can still talk about it." After thinking about it, the old man still spoke.

The old man was so honest that Su Mo felt a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Uncle, it's okay, I can make the decision on this matter."

"I have seen other houses before, and they are about the same price. If there is more, just consider it as our thanks for providing the information."

Seeing that Su Mo was straightforward, the old man didn't say anything else. After all, he really needed money. The girl's clothes showed that her family was not poor, so he took advantage of her.

"Thank you very much, my lady. I will be here for the next two or three days, you can come over anytime during these days."

Su Mo asked the old man's name, and the old man's name was Chen Youxin.

"Okay, Uncle Chen, then I'll come over tomorrow. Let's get the formalities done as soon as possible, so that you and I can feel at ease."

After reaching an agreement with Uncle Chen, Su Mo rode out on her bike. When passing by the memorial archway, Grandma Xu asked again, "Xiao Su, have you found it?"

"I've heard the news."

"Oh? Bian Du heard about it?" Grandma Xu was a little surprised.

She knew most of the previous merchants on this street, and had never heard of one named Su Cheng, who was from Haishi. She thought that this person was made up by Xiao Su, but she didn't expect that such a person really existed.

At that time, Haishi was much more prosperous than Yangcheng, and few people from Haishi came to Yangcheng to do business.

"The old man in shop No. 66 said that after my relative came here, he changed his name to Su Yunsheng and started a cloth business."

Grandma Xu tried her best to recall, and it seemed that there really was such a person. He was a stupid young man. I heard that he ran away from home at that time. But she seemed to remember that the man was from Fujian Province, but unexpectedly she hid his identity.

"No wonder, he hid his identity, otherwise I would have known it, so I wouldn't have been so patient in finding him."

"It's okay, just find him. Thank you, Grandma Xu."

"Even if you're so polite, I can't help you." Grandma Xu waved her hand.

After saying goodbye to Grandma Xu, Su Mo rode to school.

After the college entrance examination, in order to cope with the enrollment of new students, university professors were busy throughout the summer vacation, busy formulating teaching plans and planning freshman courses.

The university where Su Tingqian is currently teaching is also a key university.

It’s just that the previous students were all recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers, and their educational levels were uneven. The teaching knowledge and content taught to freshmen were very superficial, and some were even high school content.

Now the new students are all selected through the college entrance examination, and their educational level is guaranteed, so the teaching content is naturally different from before.

Therefore, the professors basically have a small meeting every three days and a large meeting every five days to discuss the teaching content.

The couple basically spent the entire summer vacation at school.

Mo Yurong and other dormitory managers were also busy cleaning the dormitories, arranging beds, making tables and chairs, etc.

In short, the whole university seemed to be reborn and was in full swing.

When Su Mo arrived at the school, it was already mid-afternoon.

Mo Yurong was wiping the newly placed iron bed in the dormitory. Seeing Su Mo coming, she was a little surprised: "Momo, why are you here?"

Su Mo took a rag and helped Mo Yurong with the work. While wiping, she told Mo Yurong that she had bought a caravan on Gaudi Street.

The cleaning of this floor of the dormitory belonged to Mo Yurong. Su Mo's voice was not loud and she was not afraid of being heard by others.

"Momo, did you buy this house to live in yourself?" Mo Yurong asked.

If it was bought for them to live in, then there would be no need. From what she heard from Ting Qian, he would be ready to resign in a year at most, and then they would go back to Haishi.

"No, I bought it for business." Su Mo said.

She was going to persuade Su Tingqian not to return to Haishi first, as Guangdong Province was definitely the pioneer of reform and opening up. To resume the Su family's old business, it would be more useful to stay in Guangdong Province than to return to Haishi in the early stage.

"Mom, wait for Dad to come back, and I will discuss it with him. I think it's better for you to stay in Yangcheng to develop at first, and when the time is right, we can return to Haishi to develop."

"Just discuss it between you two, and Mom will listen to you." Mo Yurong said.

In her opinion, it doesn't matter where, as long as her husband and daughter are there.

"Momo, do you have enough money to buy a house? Dad and mom have some here, you can take it first."

"No, you and my dad's money stay, I've saved a lot of money." Not counting the 50,000 yuan she got from Luo Yuan, the money she saved over the years added up to more than 15,000 yuan. After

helping Mo Yurong finish the work, Su Mo told her that she would come back tomorrow to talk to her about the situation, and then rode home.

On the way, she met a second-hand vendor and bought a pound of pork, and went back to make braised pork for the two children.

In the evening, Su Mo told Lu Changzheng about buying a car park, and Lu Changzheng had no objection.

Anyway, he just handed over the salary and bonus to his wife, and she could decide how to arrange it, and he would support her.

The next day, Su Mo took the money and went to Gaudi Street again early.

After Su Mo gave the money to Mr. Chen, she exchanged the title deed and gift certificate of the three-story arcade from him.

"Uncle Chen, please count the money and see if it's even."

Uncle Chen waved his hand, "I trust you. My lady, go and change the name on the title deed first. While I'm still here, I can help you at any time if you need my cooperation."

"Okay, then I'll go first. Uncle, when you go back to Lu province, I'll buy you a ticket. You can get a sleeper berth, which will be more comfortable."

Uncle Chen smiled, "Okay, then I'll trouble you then."

Su Mo has also built up a lot of relationships over the years. After getting the things, she went to find someone and gave him two packs of cigarettes. In just one morning, she changed the title deed to a new real estate certificate. Naturally, she became the owner of the house.

After changing the property certificate, Su Mo went to the department store and bought a few bags of milk powder and two sets of ready-made clothes. She also took out some fruits from an empty corner and sent them to Mr. Chen.

The clothes Mr. Chen wore were very worn out, and he looked in poor health.

Chen Youxin was a little surprised to see Su Mo coming back with things, "My lady, is it that the matter was not done? What else do you need my cooperation in doing?"

Su Mo waved her hands, "No, Uncle Chen, the real estate certificate has been processed. You provided information about my relatives, and my parents are very grateful to you, but they have to go to work, so they asked me to buy some things on their behalf to express their gratitude."

"How can I do that? It's just a piece of cake. You bought this house for me, which has helped me a lot."

"Uncle, let's put things aside. We bought this house because we need a house to live in."

...

Su Mo declined with Uncle Chen, and Uncle Chen finally kept the things, feeling that he had met a good person.

Now that the work was done and there was no need to clean up the house, Uncle Chen decided to go back to Lu Province the next day.

The sooner he could go back and settle down, the easier it would be for him to start his life anew.

When Su Mo found out, she immediately rode a bike and took Uncle Chen to the train station to buy tickets. Gaudi Street was very close to the newly built railway terminal, and it only took 20 to 30 minutes by bike.

Su Mo went to school with a paycheck, and her work permit was not taken back. With Su Mo's rank, she was able to buy a sleeper berth ticket easily. Su Mo also secretly stuffed two bottles of vanishing cream into the ticket seller's pocket, asking her to arrange a sleeper berth for him.

After giving the ticket to Uncle Chen, Su Mo thought about sending him to the train the next day, but he refused.

"My dear, I have already troubled you too much. You don't need to come and see me off tomorrow. I will give you the key to the door lock when I go back later, and the house will be yours. I will pack my things and go to the guesthouse next to the train station."

"Uncle Chen, don't! You should continue to live there tonight. Not only tonight, but if you miss this place in the future, you can always come back. We can just treat each other as relatives."

Chen Youxin waved his hand, "No, this is no longer my home. I have been living here these few days just to make it easier to clean up. Now that the house has been sold to you, I will not bother with it anymore. You can take care of the cleanup."

"This is such a sad place, I really don't want to stay any longer."

Seeing Uncle Chen say this, Su Mo said nothing more and rode his bike to take him back to the arcade.

When they arrived at the door, Uncle Chen gave Su Mo the key.

Su Mo opened the door and the two went in together.

Su Mo and Uncle Chen had cleaned the first floor yesterday and had already checked it out.

This place was previously converted into a public kitchen. Although the street office had someone dismantle the converted things before it was returned, it was also simply cleaned up. But over time, many black oil stains from smoke were left behind, and it would take some effort to redecorate it.

"They converted the second and third floors into dormitories for employees. They built two sets of two-bedroom and one-living rooms on each floor, and built many partition walls. The good layout was changed into a mess. You can find a construction team to remove the partition walls at the back and repaint it. According to the previous layout, people are really comfortable living in it."

Uncle Chen took Su Mo to the second floor and introduced it to her as they walked.

Uncle Chen also felt a little guilty about this. After all, the house was ruined like this. If the Su family wanted to move in, they would have to remove the partition walls and renovate it. This trip would cost at least a hundred yuan.

If it were in the countryside, this money could build a new adobe house.

Su Mo followed Uncle Chen to the second and third floors to see that indeed, each floor was divided into two suites with two bedrooms and one living room. The area of ​​each floor was just over 100 square meters, and it seemed particularly crowded when divided into two suites.

Su Mo had a rough idea in her mind, and after Uncle Chen packed his luggage, Su Mo sent him to the guesthouse next to the train station.

Before leaving, Su Mo told him that if he had any problems, he could write to the address of the arcade, and she would do her best to help.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Chen, Su Mo took her things and went back.

She first went to the school to show the property certificate to Su Tingqian and his wife. Su Tingqian also heard from Mo Yurong yesterday that Su Mo was going to buy a karaoke house, so he came back early today to wait.

"Girl, why are you in such a hurry to buy? Your uncle also has a karaoke house. If you want to do business, you can borrow your uncle's place first, and then buy it when the time is right." Su Tingqian said.

Doing business, investing a lot of costs before knowing the return, is a bit risky.

"It's cheap to buy now, but when you can do business in the future, the house price will not be so cheap." Su Mo said, she was still thinking about the opportunity to buy a few more houses.

Su Mo read about the house prices in Guangzhou from books. After the reform and opening up, the house prices rose to 39 yuan per square meter in 1979. After the individual economy was liberalized in 1980, it rose to nearly 100 yuan per square meter in just one year. The prices of shops with a large flow of people will double on this basis.

Su Tingqian has not experienced the era of soaring house prices, so he doesn't quite understand Su Mo's approach.

But everything has to pay tuition, but it's only 3,000 yuan. His Su family can afford it, so he didn't say anything and let his daughter go and try it, just as if she learned some experience.

After talking about buying the arcade, Su Mo talked to Su Tingqian about the possible development of Guangzhou in the future, and naturally found an excuse that she heard the leader say it at the Foreign Trade Center. She advised him to stay in Yangcheng first, and then slowly expand to Haishi after Yangcheng is stable.

In his heart, Su Tingqian still prefers to go back to Haishi directly, after all, that is where the Su family made their fortune, but what his daughter said is not unreasonable. So she said it was too early to talk about it now, and he would consider it later.

After discussing with her parents, Su Mo went back to the family compound. In the past few days, she was not going to go out again, because something big was about to happen.

Two days later, the bad news came that the great man passed away. For a while, the whole country was in mourning.

When the bad news came, Lu Xiaolan was on the train from Beijing to Harbin.

For a while, the train was full of crying. Many people got off the train at the stopover station, preparing to return to Beijing to see the great man off for the last time.

In such a sad atmosphere, the train arrived in Harbin. With a heavy heart, Lu Xiaolan changed to a train back to Shuangshan City in Harbin.

She did not send a telegram to her family to ask her two brothers to pick her up.

Compared with the death of the great man, all things seemed insignificant, and any little joy would be disrespectful to the great man.

After returning to Shuangshan City, Lu Xiaolan took a bus back to Qingxi County by herself, and then took a bus from Qingxi County back to Hongqi Commune. Two years ago, Hongqi Commune also had a bus to the county seat, with one trip in the morning and one in the afternoon, which greatly facilitated the travel of the members.

After returning to the commune, Lu Xiaolan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and planned to borrow her elder sister-in-law Liu Yuzhi's bicycle to go back, and then ask her elder brother to pick her up after get off work.

Liu Yuzhi was very surprised to see Lu Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, why didn't you tell me you were back? Your elder brother has been waiting for you these days, waiting to pick you up."

Liu Yuzhi was very happy to see Lu Xiaolan, but she couldn't show it because of the special period.

Her sister-in-law is a college student and has a bright future.

Since Lu Xiaolan and Su Mo were admitted to college, she felt that people looked at her eldest and second daughters differently. Many people privately said that the Feng Shui of their Lu family is good at raising girls, and their girls will have a bright future.

Several families even approached her privately, wanting to arrange a baby marriage with her eldest daughter.

Liu Yuzhi naturally looked down on these hot guys. But I was happy in my heart, because it showed that Lu Xiaolan's divorce had no impact on the marriage of her two daughters.
