Chapter 228 Buying a House in Beijing

When he heard that she was Zhou Tingyue's biological sister and his sister's sister-in-law, Song Wenlin finally realized how big a mistake he had made, and his face suddenly turned red as if blood was dripping.

I nodded and greeted him quickly: "Hello!"

Zhou Wanyu smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Song!"

Song Wenlin felt more and more embarrassed.

I feel like I deserve to die. How could I think of a good way?

Song Shiwei almost laughed out loud when he saw it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen my brother like this before.

He quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, we're all family, why are you two being so polite? Wanyu, where is the house you're talking about?"

Zhou Wanyu smiled and said, "It's not far from our unit. I'll take you there!"

Because Song Shiwei was pregnant, when she came out, Shen Xiu'e specially borrowed a tricycle and let Song Shiwei ride a tricycle with her big belly. She was worried!

Originally, Zhou Tingyue wanted to tag along, but Zhou Runde had to take him to meet an old friend temporarily, so he didn't come.

So, when Song Wenlin saw it, he hurriedly pushed the car in front of Zhou Wanyu.

"You ride the bike, I'll take my sister!"

Zhou Wanyu wanted to say no, but Song Shiwei also felt that she was still quite heavy, so she decided to let her brother, this grown man, take care of her!

"Wanyu, let my brother come. He's a grown man, and I think he would be embarrassed to ask you to ride a bike and take me with you!"

When Song Wenlin heard this, he nodded quickly: "Yes, that's right!"

Zhou Wanyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay then!"

The first house the three of them went to see was a two-story building a little to the right of a three-way intersection.

The road at the entrance is not wide, and there is a family compound next to it. Although it is not prosperous, it is still popular.

It's just that the house is quite old and looks a bit shabby.

The first floor is a living room with three bedrooms. The upper floor is of the same size, with a total area of ​​about 120 square meters.

Song Shiwei found the landlord and asked the price, and he said it was six thousand five hundred!

Song Wenlin thought it was a bit expensive at the time.

The landlord was a woman in her forties, and she wasn't particularly easy to talk to.

"My house has such a great location, why do you think it's expensive? If you think it's expensive, go buy one somewhere else!

Song Wenlin and the others were pushed out directly.

Song Shiwei was almost pushed by her and almost fell down.

Song Wenlin and Zhou Wanyu were so frightened that they quickly caught the person!

Zhou Wanyu stepped forward angrily and said, "What's wrong with you? If you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. Why are you pushing me? Can't you see that my sister-in-law is still pregnant? If she gets pushed down by you and gets hurt, can you afford to pay for it?"

The woman glanced at Song Shiwei's big belly and pouted: "You didn't fall down! Come on, come on, I won't sell anymore!"

With a "bang!" he closed the door.

Zhou Wanyu couldn't help but mutter: "Who is this person?"

Turning her head to look at Song Shiwei, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Weiwei, I didn't expect this landlord to be such a person!"

Song Shi smiled and said, "It's okay. You're not omnipotent. I'm already very grateful that you can help me!"

Song Wenlin nodded in agreement: "Yes! Thank you very much!"

Zhou Wanyu smiled: "Let's go, let's go to the second one!"

The second house was near Xidan. At that time, Xidan was still deserted, but Song Shiwei knew that in 1985, the government decided to stimulate the economy and provide employment for the unemployed population. Nine night markets were specially established, and Xidan Night Market would become one of the most prosperous places in Beijing.

How many people selling clothes made their fortune here!

Especially at night, flatbed tricycles gather in a row in the open space on the northeast side of Xidan intersection. Each vehicle carries two or three "lanterns" hanging on bamboo poles at the corners of the tricycles, lighting themselves and the people who come to select goods. People flock to the area, and it is a sea of ​​people!

Just like modern pedestrian streets or shopping malls, there will always be some hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, and milk tea shops around the supporting facilities, making it the most important CBD of a city!

Because wherever there are people, there is business.

Although he hasn't seen the second house yet, Song Shiwei has made up his mind to get a house here no matter what!

If a hot pot restaurant is opened here in the future, business will definitely be good!

If she remembered correctly, the street next to Xidan would become the most prosperous street, with hair salons, clothing stores, and hotels.

Whoever opens first will get a better position!

Even if you buy it and rent it out, the rent here is still out of stock!

Thinking of this, she excitedly said to Zhou Wanyu: "Wanyu, where is this house? Take me to see it!"

Seeing her so excited, Zhou Wanyu and Song Wenlin were a little puzzled.

But the pace of my feet became a little faster consciously.

"Sister-in-law, do you see the street across from this square? It's on that street!"

Song Shiwei looked in the direction she pointed. Wasn't that the street she wanted?

She suddenly became more excited.

"Okay, okay, this is a good location!"

Although Xidan is not as crowded now as it was after the night market opened, it is still one of the more prosperous places in Beijing.

Looking from afar, there is a breakfast shop and an old-fashioned barber shop on this street, and a large department store not far away.

The location is really good!

Zhou Wanyu led them to the door of the shop next to the barber shop and pointed: "Weiwei, this is the house I'm talking about. I heard some time ago that they are going to sell it too!"

As she spoke, she went forward and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there? Is anyone home?"

But no one answered for a long time. Instead, a young woman wearing a white coat and with a perm on her hair came out from the barber shop next door. She was holding a pair of scissors.

She looked to be about 25 or 26 years old. When she saw them knocking on the door, she hurriedly said, "Are you here to buy a house? My second uncle is not here, and he asked me to help him sell it. Wait for me, or come to my shop and sit for a while. I will take you to see it after I finish cutting this customer's hair!"

Zhou Wanyu looked at Song Shiwei and saw her smiling and nodding.

A few people simply went to her shop and waited.

Sitting on a stool against the wall, Song Shiwei looked up and down at her barber shop.

The heavy wooden barber chair has a headrest and footrest, and can be swivel and adjusted in angle.

The traces of repairs on the chair tell of its age.

The mirror hanging on the wall was painted with big golden corn with corn cobs, and the words "Happy Harvest" were written in red on it.

Under the mirror hung a bottle of blue oil for lubricating the "barber scissors".

The young woman was the only one working in the room.

The customer who came for a haircut was an old man in his sixties or seventies.

Don't be fooled by the woman's young age; her skills are very professional. She washes, cuts hair and shaves all by herself.
