Gu Huaiju has worked in the Housing Authority for many years, so he is naturally familiar with the housing situation in the city and knows how difficult it is for residents to find housing.
Jiang Mengxue is a single girl but she got such a big house. There must be many people who are jealous of her.
Jiang Mengxue knew that the other party was mistaken and quickly explained, "Director Gu misunderstood. I came here this time to buy these two rooms. It just so happens that I have been regularized and the hospital has given me some housing subsidies. I also want to change the layout of the house to save trouble, so I want to buy them directly. I wonder how much those two rooms cost?"
Gu Huaijue felt relieved when he heard this was the reason, but he didn't expect that the little girl would think of buying the house in just a few months. She was very far-sighted.
If you continue to rent from the street, if there are any problems in the future, the street has the right to take back the housing.
Nowadays, a small portion of urban housing is privately owned, but most of it is owned by the state and rent must be paid every month.
Moreover, if you want to redecorate or change the layout, you must get permission from the street housing management office. No matter what, it is your own house and no one can control what you want.
And the rent is eight dollars a month, which is one hundred dollars a year.
It only cost a few hundred dollars to buy it, and I will get my money back in a few years.
Gu Huaijue said readily, "Of course. We're not strict about this right now. Your two rooms will cost 4 yuan per square meter, a total of 336 yuan. However, even if you submit them today, the documents won't be issued to you until after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
As long as they provide the certificate, a few days late doesn’t matter. It was such a pleasant surprise to know that I could actually buy it.
"Okay, okay. I'll do it today. Where do I pay?"
Seeing Jiang Mengxue so excited, Gu Huaijue laughed: "I'll write this down first, then go to the finance department to pay the money, and then come over in a few days to get the certificate."
Jiang Mengxue said embarrassedly: "Okay, but I have to go home this afternoon. I have a five-day holiday this time. I don't know when I will be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"It's okay. Leave it with me when you're done. Come get it when you're free, or I can deliver it to you." Gu Huaijue didn't care. It wasn't a big deal.
"Thank you, Director Gu. I'll pick it up when I get back."
Director Gu lowered his head and read the supporting documents while chatting with Jiang Mengxue.
"Where is Dr. Jiang's home? You only go home once a month. Is it far from here?"
"My family is from the Xiaotaoyuan Brigade of the Zhonghe People's Commune."
Gu Huaijue raised his eyebrows, remembering that he had heard from his parents that there was a female college student in the next brigade. Could it be Jiang Mengxue?
"What a coincidence! My mother's family is located in the Feiyue Brigade next door. I heard from my mother that there was a college student in the brigade next door. It turned out to be you.
We were all familiar with the nearby villages when we were young, but there was a big age gap between us, so we didn’t really know each other.”
"Yeah, when I was little I could run very far when I went out to play, but after I started school I just stayed at home and read books. I seldom went out to play. I haven't been back for a few years, and everyone in our team has become a stranger to me."
The two chatted and laughed and found that their personalities were quite compatible.
This was the first time Jiang Mengxue had such a serious conversation with someone since she came to this world, just like meeting a close friend.
My troubled heart also felt a moment of relaxation, as if I finally found someone to chat with, but I still remained rational and didn't say anything that shouldn't have been said.
After signing, I followed Gu Huaijue to the finance department to pay the money. I ordered thirty-four Big Black Tens, but I still felt a little reluctant. It was money I had worked so hard to earn, and now hundreds of dollars were gone in an instant.
However, I put away the slightly newer Big Black Tens I had and kept them for collection.
"Director Gu, I want to renovate my house. The ceilings are over five meters high, and I want to add a second floor. A lower ceiling will keep the house warmer in the winter, and it will also give me more space. I also want to build a kang in the house. Is there anyone nearby who can do this?"
Gu Huaiju lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Yes, they do, but I don't know if they're free now. I just asked them to help my brother build a house a while ago, and it's been completed for half a month. I wonder if they have any work now. I'll take you to ask them."
"Then I'll trouble you, Director Gu."
Gu Huaijue went back to the office to put his things away and then took Jiang Mengxue out.
When I walked out of the office, Zhou Yuanbin came out to greet me.
He kept staring inside, waiting for someone to come out so he could say hello.
"Director Gu, are you going out? Do you need any help?"
Who is Gu Huaijue? He can't see what the young man is thinking. Zhou Yuanbin's eyes never left Jiang Mengxue.
"No need. I'm taking Comrade Jiang out for something. I'll be back soon. You guys go ahead and get busy."
Having said that, he ignored the other party's reaction and left with Jiang Mengxue. Zhou Yuanbin had no choice but to watch them leave from behind.
I'm still thinking about how to ask the director about Jiang Mengxue's news.
"The master I'm talking about is called Xu Dashan. His ancestors have always been in this business. He has very good skills. As long as you have a request, he can usually make it."
