All the shops give people a feeling: affordable!
In the supermarket, it seems that one hundred yuan can't buy much.
But in the urban village, you can eat from east to west, even if you walk through several streets, and still not spend all the money!
The landlord at the east end of the street where the Gu family lived was very visionary and courageous. He renovated his own building and turned it into a hotel.
And launched the online room reservation service.
When netizens from other places search for "Princess Gu" and "Gu Family Restaurant", the hotel called Ruyi B&B will also be searched by keywords.
In just a few days, dozens of rooms in the six-story hotel were booked.
The landlord and Gu's father are relatives, and according to seniority, he should call Gu's father "brother".
They own two buildings and can earn tens of thousands of yuan in rent every month. They are one of the better-off people in the village.
On weekdays, although he was polite to Gu's father, he always called him "brother".
But his tone still carried the sense of superiority that money brought him.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Now...
"I ran into Lao Liu at the village entrance the other day, and he even offered me a cigarette. Tsk, tsk, it's been so many years, but back when I was younger, he used to 'respect' me so much!"
After Gu's father came back, he said to Gu's mother with emotion.
You can't blame people for being snobbish. It's human nature to despise the poor and love the rich, and to bully the weak and fear the strong!
The cousin who was once high and mighty now regards Gu's father as his elder brother, but it is only driven by interests.
Although no one says it, everyone knows it in their hearts.
The popularity brought by Gu Qingcheng not only benefited herself, but also brought glory to the shops in the same village.
Later, even the neighborhood committee realized the importance of the Gu family.
So there was the "chat" between the director and Gu's mother -
"The director said that our building is indeed too low and not in line with the surrounding neighbors."
"Besides, it's been seven or eight years, the house is a bit old, it's time to clean it up!"
Father Gu's eyes lit up when he heard this. "He means we can add to the building now?"
There was a time when the Gu family had not yet owed any debts, and Gu's father wanted to add a few more floors.
The small, shabby three-story house does look too short and shabby among the surrounding "high-rise buildings".
However, both the village committee and the neighborhood committee disagreed.
They said it was an illegal building.
Gu’s father and mother: …The whole village is full of illegal buildings, why doesn’t anyone seem to be taking care of them?
"Yes! The director said that there were rumors of demolition two years ago, so temporary extensions are no longer allowed!"
"But it's been several years, there's no chance of demolition—"
Demolition is not allowed, and adding new buildings is also considered a violation, but the government does not investigate unless the people report it.
Now the entire urban village relies on the Gu family to drive its economy.
Even if the Gu family "secretly" added to the house, the neighbors would not report it.
People are not stupid. The Gu family is popular, and the urban village is also popular. Even if they don’t open a store and only rent out houses, the rent will increase.
In terms of interests, everyone is in agreement with the Gu family.
The cousin who ran the B&B came up to Gu's father and said, "Brother! I heard you're building a building? Can you help me with the money? If you need anything, just let me know!"
"We don't have more, but a few hundred thousand or eighty thousand is no problem!"
According to current prices, adding a floor would cost about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
The Gu family only needs to add three floors, and even with decoration, the cost will be at most 100,000 yuan.
This cousin of Gu's father is going to buy everything.
Father Gu: ...
Although I know why my cousin is like this, we should judge by his actions rather than his heart.
On the surface, everyone is still a brotherhood that gets along well with each other and helps and loves each other.
Neighbors did not oppose or obstruct the Gu family from building a house because of issues such as blocking sunlight or encroaching on the eaves.
Everything went so smoothly.
The Gu family's small restaurant didn't even close down, and the construction of the new building upstairs had already begun.
"Gu Sinian, your family is building a house!"
Su Xiaoxiao stayed on the second floor of Gu's house. After finishing a few questions, she started to lose focus.
She looked up at the roof, where the steel structure was being laid, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"……right!"
Gu Sinian was really a little annoyed.
The noise from the workers' work could not disturb him.
However, Su Xiaoxiao, who kept chattering and couldn't calm down, made him feel annoyed.
The college entrance examination is just half a month away.
Gu Sinian has almost finished his review, and now there is not much point in doing exercises and papers.
But Su Xiaoxiao would come to the restaurant to find him every day after school.
Originally, Gu Sinian really wanted to help her because they were "good friends".
However, Gu Sinian would tutor her seriously, but Su Xiaoxiao was not grateful at all.
I get distracted easily and can't finish a question in half an hour.
Maybe it’s not quite appropriate, but Gu Sinian felt like all his passion had been wasted!
