The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, and then Xiao Nian returned to school.
The weather in Beijing in September is neither too cold nor too hot, and the breeze makes people feel a little sleepy.
Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue returned to the courtyard, closed the door and took a nap.
The two of them slept until the evening. Zheng Xinyue woke up and cried out that she was hungry. "Niannian, I'm starving. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
Although Zheng Xinyue usually appears carefree, she actually knows a lot about the ways of the world.
She lived in Yang Niannian's place without paying rent, and often ate and drank with him, so she often treated Yang Niannian to meals.
Zheng Haitian is also very capable. Every time he sends something, he always sends double.
Yang Niannian was tired of eating out and wanted to have some home-cooked meals.
"Let's not go out to eat. Let's go buy some leeks and I'll make leek noodles for you."
"Chive noodles?" Zheng Xinyue thought for a long time, but she didn't know what kind of noodles this was. "How is this made? I've never eaten it before."
Yang Niannian looked mysterious. "Let's go buy the ingredients first. I'll show you how to make it later. This noodle is delicious. I used to... I loved eating it."
She almost said something wrong, but luckily she reacted quickly enough.
In her previous life, she loved eating this and her mother always made it for her. She had never cooked it before.
Zheng Xinyue really likes to try new foods, so she excitedly pulled her out.
"Let's go buy some groceries. Don't rush to pay the bill. I said I would treat you to a meal, but now you're cooking for me. I have to pay for the food."
"Don't worry! I will definitely not compete with you." Yang Niannian said with a smile.
There is a small vegetable market on the street at the entrance of the alley. If you have flour at home, you just need to buy leeks, tomatoes, and a few chives to enhance the flavor.
After the two of them bought the ingredients and just returned to the entrance of the alley, Zheng Xinyue pointed ahead and said.
"Niannian, isn't that Senior Yu? Why is he here?"
Yang Niannian also saw it, "Maybe something happened!"
Yu Sui also saw the two of them and walked towards them.
Zheng Xinyue ran up to Yu Sui like a monkey, and asked with a smile, "Senior Yu, why are you here?"
Seeing a passer-by passing by, Yu Sui felt that it was not a good idea to discuss things outside, so he said tactfully, "It's a small matter."
Yang Niannian saw Yu Sui’s concerns and said with a smile.
"Let's go into the yard first!"
She opened the courtyard gate and asked Yu Sui to sit on the stone bench. Zheng Xinyue put the ingredients into the kitchen and diligently poured out a cup of tea.
I nodded and thanked him, then got down to business.
Looking at Yang Niannian, he said, "I remember you were asking about house prices a few days ago. I wanted to come over and ask if you still have any intention of buying a house?"
He took a sip of tea and continued, "I have a relative of a relative who wants to sell an old house, also a courtyard house, near Tsinghua University. The price is two hundred yuan cheaper than yours, and the yard is about ten square meters larger than this one."
Yang Niannian never expected that blessings would come to her while she was at home.
Now that housing prices are rising, people with foresight are reluctant to sell their houses, and even if they do, the prices will be high.
Is it a pie in the sky to be able to buy the house that Yu Sui mentioned?
With such a good thing happening, she didn't hide her desire to buy a house at all and smiled brightly.
"Senior, I do have plans to buy a house. Tomorrow is Sunday. Can you help me contact your relatives and go to see the house tomorrow?"
Yu Sui looked embarrassed and said carefully, "Don't worry. I haven't explained the house clearly yet. I'll finish what I've said first, and then you can consider whether to buy it or not."
Zheng Xinyue opened her mouth and said, "Well, senior, you don't understand Nian Nian. As long as the owner is willing to sell it, even if the house is owned by a dead person, Nian Nian will definitely dare to buy it. Even if the sky falls, it can't stop Nian Nian from wanting to buy a house."
Yu Sui looked embarrassed and said, "It is indeed a house where someone died."
Zheng Xinyue exclaimed in surprise, "Someone really died?"
How come her words came true?
Why does this sound weird?
All the houses where Yu Xuechang’s relatives had died were sold to Nian Nian…
Yang Niannian also wanted to say that she didn't mind, but she felt that was too hasty, so she controlled her excitement and said.
"Senior, could you please tell me more about the house?"
Yu Sui felt a little embarrassed after introducing two houses where people had died to Yang Niannian.
However, if she buys the house not for her own use or renting it out, but for other purposes, it is not a bad idea.
"This courtyard house belongs to my aunt's husband's sister's in-laws."
This is a bit off topic, and Yu Sui doesn’t know what to call them, so he can only briefly sort out the relationship.
Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue were arguing about seniority in their minds when they heard Yu Sui say something else.
"The house was originally occupied by the elderly couple. The husband died of illness a few years ago, and the wife was also not in good health. In addition, the children kept shirking responsibility and were unwilling to support them. The wife didn't think it through and drank rat poison."
After carefully choosing his words, he added, "When she was found, she had been dead for three days. Now that she has been buried, her children have fallen out, so they want to sell the house to divide the inheritance."
This matter caused a lot of controversy some time ago and was even on the news, so the house is hard to sell and the price is so cheap.
Zheng Xinyue was not afraid that Yu Sui would get angry, so she said with a grin.
"Although there are no ghosts in the world, this house seems a bit dirty."
Yu Sui nodded, "It's really not good."
In this weather, the old man was not found until several days after his death. You can imagine the scene inside the house...
He looked at Yang Niannian and said, "The neighbors all know about this house. If you want to buy it to rent it out or live in it yourself, I don't recommend you to buy it. If you have other uses for it, you can still consider it."
Yu Sui had no relationship with the landlord and didn't even know him. In the past, he would never have meddled in other people's business.
This time I came to inform Yang Niannian simply because I thought Yang Niannian wanted to buy a house.
Of course, he was just guessing.
Yang Niannian's eyebrows were almost raised, and she quickly explained the situation.
"I don't live there or rent it. I just like buying houses and don't mind if someone has died in one. Senior, could you help me ask around tomorrow? Not just this one, a few more will do."
Yu Sui laughed, "Okay, I'll go ask for you tomorrow morning. Do you have time to go and look at the house this afternoon?"
"Yes, anytime tomorrow." Yang Niannian answered very quickly, as if there was a mountain of gold and silver in front of her.
Zheng Xinyue opened her mouth in surprise. She really couldn't understand how Yang Niannian could have such an ambitious and courageous heart in such a thin body.
Yu Sui glanced at the sky and stood up. "It's getting late. I'll go back first and come back tomorrow if I have any news."
Zheng Xinyue came back to her senses and said as if she was presenting a treasure.
"Senior, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Eat first and then go back. Nian Nian will make some leek noodles later. I'm sure you haven't eaten it before, so this is a good opportunity to try Nian Nian's cooking skills."
Yang Niannian was embarrassed. She had never made it before and was not sure whether the food would taste good.
Yu Sui was actually a little curious about what kind of dish "leek noodles" was, so he stayed for it.
"Then I'll be welcome."
Yang Niannian was overwhelmed and could only say, "You guys sit down and chat for a while, I'll go cook the noodles, it will be ready soon."
