Chapter 228 Buying a House in Beijing
When he heard that she was Zhou Tingyue's biological sister, 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 from it.
I quickly nodded and greeted him: "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 have thought of a positive way?
Song Shiwei almost laughed out loud when he saw this.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen my brother like this before.
I hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, we're all family, why are you two being so polite? Wanyu, where is the house you mentioned?"
Zhou Wanyu smiled and said, "It's not far from our workplace. 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 the 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 at the last minute, 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, a grown man, take care of her!
"Wanyu, let my brother come. He's a grown man, and he probably wouldn't feel comfortable asking you to ride my bike with me!"
When Song Wenlin heard this, he nodded quickly: "That's right, that's right!"
Zhou Wanyu smiled and said, "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 in front of 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 upstairs is of the same specifications, 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, and you still think it's expensive? If you think it's expensive, go buy 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 scared that they quickly caught the person!
Zhou Wanyu stepped forward angrily: "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 I get pushed down by you and get hurt, can you afford to pay for it?"
The woman glanced at Song Shiwei's huge belly and pouted: "You didn't fall down! Go, go, go, I won't sell it anymore!"
With a "bang!" he closed the door.
Zhou Wanyu couldn't help but mutter: "Who is that?"
Turning her head to look at Song Shiwei, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Weiwei, I didn't expect the 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!"
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 on the Xidan side. At that time, there were not many people in Xidan, but Song Shiwei knew well that in 1984, the country decided to revitalize the economy and provide jobs in order to accommodate the unemployed population. Nine night markets have been specially established, and Xidan Night Market will 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 this open space on the northeast side of Xidan intersection. Each vehicle also carried two or three lighting "lanterns" hung on bamboo poles inserted in the corners of its three-wheeled flatbed cart, to illuminate itself and the people who came to pick up goods. People flocked to the cart, and it was 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 it, becoming the most important CBD in 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 restaurants.
Whoever opens first will get a better position!
Even if you buy it and rent it out, the rent here is 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 confused.
But my steps subconsciously quickened.
"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 as it was after the night market opened, it is still one of the more prosperous places in Beijing.
From a distance, 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 someone say a while ago that they are also going to sell it out!"
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 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. Please wait for me. Otherwise, come to my shop and sit for a while. After I finish cutting this customer's hair, I will take you to see it!"
Zhou Wanyu looked at Song Shiwei and saw her smiling and nodding.
A few of them 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, footrest, and can be rotated and adjusted in angle.
The traces of repairs on the chair repeatedly tell of its age.
The mirror hanging on the wall is painted with big golden corns with corn cobs, and the words "Happy Harvest" are written in red on it.
There is also a blue oil bottle for lubricating the "barber scissors" hanging under the mirror.
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 techniques are very professional. She can wash, cut and shave all by herself.
