His wife disagreed: "So many educated youth, all high school graduates, went to the countryside to engage in construction.
I think this is not a cultural issue, but an IQ issue. Look how amazing Jia Jia is. Wow, she is the number one scholar in the country, and a female number one scholar. How many female number one scholars were there in ancient times?
If I were half as good as she is, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Xu Yuanqing smiled: "Go to sleep quickly, maybe in your dreams, you will know everything."
His wife heard his teasing, but she didn't get angry. She lay down and carefully touched the gold-thread quilt: "Oh, this is the first time I've covered myself with such a comfortable quilt!
This is simply a fairy life.
Xu Yuanqing, I plan to stay in Kyoto from now on."
After seeing what Kyoto looked like, Xu Yuanqing didn't want to go back home anymore: "I will work hard."
Li Matchmaker's daughters-in-law touched the comfortable quilts and felt like they were dreaming.
The eldest daughter-in-law looked at Matchmaker Li in shock and said, "Mom, your life is too good!
Does my father-in-law live in this kind of house as well?"
Matchmaker Li shook her head: "It's not this kind of house, it's just an ordinary family compound.
However, the old man was a leader, and he lived in a separate courtyard, which was quite large.
But it can’t compare to a Siheyuan.”
The eldest son's wife thought this was normal: "Xu Jiajia and his wife are really capable. They are not from Kyoto, but they can own such a nice house in Kyoto.
Let alone six children, even if we had a few more, there would be enough to live in!"
The second son's wife also nodded in agreement: "Yes, living in here makes me feel a few years younger."
Matchmaker Li shattered their fantasy: "You are only staying here temporarily. Once my sister-in-law rents a house, you will move in."
The third daughter-in-law asked, "What about you?"
Matchmaker Li raised her chin and said proudly, "Of course I live here and take care of six children."
The fourth daughter-in-law came over and said, "Mom, how about we switch? I'll take care of the child and you go to work."
Matchmaker Li sneered, "She may not be pretty, but she has beautiful thoughts."
The fourth son's wife was not embarrassed by the criticism: "I am discussing this with you. If you don't want to, forget it."
…
The next morning.
After Xu Jiajia and Old Lady Xu finished their breakfast, they went to look at houses.
The small villa is built with blue bricks and covered with red ceramic tiles.
From a distance, it looks like a huge gem.
Old Mrs. Xu stared blankly at the small house: "Jia Jia, why did you bring me here? I want an ordinary house, not this small house."
Xu Jiajia explained: "I heard from Chen Rou that this house is for sale, and I want to buy it."
Old Mrs. Xu exclaimed, "Can the house be sold now?"
She had previously heard from people at the Housing Authority that houses could not be bought and sold privately.
Xu Jiajia: "Let's see first. If it doesn't work, just say we want to change houses."
Mrs. Xu looked at the house carefully and thought it was pretty good: "It will cost a lot of money, right?
Do you have that many?"
Xu Jiajia had a bottom price in mind: "It should be about the same. If it's too expensive, I won't buy it."
The landlord of this house is a professor.
In 1973, he was reported by his own son and spent four years on the farm.
He was brought back just before the Chinese New Year last year.
The house was also returned to him.
The professor felt that this house had brought him too much pain, so he wanted to sell it.
He looked Xu Jiajia and the other person up and down and asked, "Are you going to buy a house?"
Xu Jiajia nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, how much does this house cost?"
The professor really wanted to sell it, so he didn't ask for a high price: "Five thousand."
Before Xu Jiajia could say anything, Old Lady Xu jumped up and said, "This is too expensive!
Five thousand!
Add another five thousand and you can become a millionaire!"
The professor pointed to the house next to him. It was a separate courtyard, not as big as the small villa. There was no lawn or pavilion in front.
"That house, sold yesterday for 2,800, isn't as big or new as mine. Do you think I'm calling it expensive if I ask for 5,000?"
"What!" Old Mrs. Xu was heartbroken. She lived nearby and hadn't heard the news. If she had known that the house was for sale, she would definitely have bought it.
This house is very suitable for use as a small workshop.
The professor thought that Mrs. Xu would not accept this price, so he lowered it a little: "Four thousand eight hundred, this is the lowest."
Xu Jiajia bargained it down to four thousand six hundred.
In the end, the professor sold it.
Xu Jiajia came prepared.
The sack she carried was filled with great unity.
Pay half.
Wait until all the formalities are completed before paying the other half.
The professor is a man of action.
In less than a day.
He got the property certificate.
Not only that, he also transferred a five-mu vacant land behind the house to Xu Jiajia's name.
Xu Jiajia was shocked. Did he know how much this land would be worth in the future?
Xu Jiajia was afraid that the land price would go up in value in the future and the professor would regret it and want to go back, so she paid 500 yuan to buy the land and even wrote a land transfer contract.
Land is worthless these days, so the professor couldn't understand why Xu Jiajia would spend five hundred yuan on such a worthless piece of land. "All the paperwork is here. What else is missing?"
Xu Jiajia took a closer look and said, "Thank you, Professor—"
The professor waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."
Wait until the professor leaves.
Xu Jiajia opened the door and looked around the small house. The more she looked, the more she liked it. "Grandma, isn't this house nice?"
Grandma Xu nodded: "It looks good, but it's too expensive."
Four thousand six.
How many people can come up with so much money!
Xu Jiajia smiled lightly: "Now many educated youth have returned to the city, and housing will become increasingly scarce in the future.
The housing prices might even skyrocket in the future!"
Mrs. Xu listened and said: "Well, I will make more money and buy a few more sets. One for each of my six children. This is the love that Grandpa has for them."
Xu Jiajia was embarrassed to use the old woman's money: "Grandma, no need. I will buy some more land to build a house later."
Old Mrs. Xu said with a stern face: "That's yours, not mine. Don't argue with me, otherwise, I will get angry with you."
Xu Jiajia: “…”
The two of them walked around for the whole morning.
I bought that set.
Old Mrs. Xu sighed softly: "Oh, the house is too tight, it's so hard to rent."
Xu Jiajia: "I'll ask other people tomorrow."
Mrs. Xu was overjoyed: "You know a lot of people, maybe you have good news!"
…
A week has passed, and the Kuroki family has not sent any money yet.
The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not in a hurry either.
They first took tragic photos of the two Kuroki brothers and published them in newspapers as a warning to others, and then created the atmosphere of sending troops.
