Chapter 425 The First Courtyard (1) (Page 1/2)
As the year was coming to an end, Gu Yunlan came back from outside and bought a box of good things.
But he only had time to send the box back home, so he came to find Jiang Qian.
There is no other reason, there is just a house for sale outside!
"You go buy it." Jiang Qian said, "No need to give it to me."
"I'm not buying it. I'll keep my money for now." Gu Yunlan said.
Jiang Qian didn't understand: "Why keep it?"
"I feel that there will definitely be other policies coming out in the future. If I use my money to buy the yard, I won't be able to do anything else." Gu Yunlan said.
Although she had saved a lot, her wealth was not as rich as Jiang Qian's. After all, translation was very profitable, especially after becoming an intermediate translator.
So she decided not to buy it for the time being, intending to save the money to do other things to make money. She felt that the opportunity was coming!
But if she doesn't buy it, Jiang Qian can buy it because Jiang Qian has money.
Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment, "You feel it again?"
"That's right." Gu Yunlan smiled, "How do you say that?"
"Let's go and take a look." Is there any need to ask? Jiang Qian has always been thinking about it.
But from the beginning until now, I haven’t received any news about anyone selling the house. Now that one is for sale, of course I have to go and take a look.
Jiang Qian followed Gu Yunlan out and of course listened to her talk about the approximate location of the house.
This house is very close to the staff quarters, only a five-minute walk away!
Gu Yunlan went to the black market and came back to see the owner of a house posting a notice to sell his house. She had good eyesight and saw it at a casual glance. Of course, she stopped the other party and asked, asking the owner to wait.
He ran back to find Jiang Qian, who was thinking about the house.
When I followed Gu Yunlan over, I saw the landlord waiting for me.
The landlord smiled when he saw the two of them. "I was wondering why this lady looked familiar. When I saw you, I remembered that you two are the top scorers in arts and science in Beijing this year, right?"
When I saw Gu Yunlan, I felt that she looked familiar, but I didn’t remember her so quickly. But when I saw Jiang Qian, the two of them standing together, it was clear at a glance.
Jiang Qian and Gu Yunlan both smiled and said, "I'm just lucky."
"You have to have real strength to be lucky. If you don't have real strength, you can only stare blankly when luck comes." The homeowner said, and then got back to the point, "Come in and take a look at my yard."
Of course Jiang Qian and Gu Yunlan came in together to take a look. Only after they came in did they realize that although the yard looked nice from the outside, it was indeed very shabby on the inside.
It's shabby and dirty.
But Jiang Qian didn't care about this. She looked at the house and asked, "What's your name, uncle? We've lived here for quite a while, and we come in and out every day, but we haven't seen you. And if I remember correctly, there were three families living here before, right?"
When Jiang Qian was pregnant, she often went out for a walk. She remembered that there lived a young couple, a family of five, and another large family here.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is that the young couple joined forces with a family of five to fight fiercely with another large family.
There was a fight at that time. She stayed away from it because she was pregnant, but Gu Yunlan went over to watch the fun.
It is no exaggeration to say that everyone living nearby is familiar to her and Gu Yunlan.
Now that everyone else in the house has moved out and this old man has become the owner, Jiang Qian will definitely ask about it.
"My last name is Zhang. My family and I just returned from the countryside a week ago." The old man, who looked like he had experienced many hardships, said, "After my family was sent down to the countryside, this yard was occupied by others. Now of course we have it back, but I don't want this house anymore."
Jiang Qian said: "The house has been sold, where will you and your family live?"
"I have another courtyard with two entrances, which was taken over by a unit and used as a dormitory. The people there are of higher quality and have preserved it better than this one. Now it has been returned to us and we live there. As you can see from this one, those people don't cherish our house and have made it a mess. After being driven away by me, they even deliberately destroyed it and made it like this. However, if it is renovated properly, it won't be a big problem." said the old man.
