Fu Hongguo returned to Taipei about half a month earlier than planned.
Just like the first time they came to register, Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing accompanied them.
However, after arriving in Taipei and visiting the place where Xiuchun and the others were living, Fu Hongxing was pulled by Ning Jing to the housing management office to inquire whether there were any houses for sale.
My younger siblings all study in Taipei, but only Fu Hongguo comes home during summer vacation.
The other three stayed in Taipei trying to earn some money to supplement their family income, but their dormitories were not open to the public during the summer vacation.
So, Xiuchun, Xiumei, and Xiaofeng found a single room and shared it together, which saved them some money.
On such a hot day, the single room was a small partitioned room created by dividing a normal family's house in the middle with wooden boards.
The three of them simply laid out their beds on the floor. When they opened the door, all they could see was the floor; there was nowhere else to stand.
Thinking back to my home, although the house was a bit dilapidated, I had never stayed in such a cramped place.
Ning Jing thought about it, and tears were about to fall.
Nowadays, there are hardly any real estate agencies or similar shops in the housing market.
If you want to buy a house, you have to go to the housing management office to inquire and see if anyone wants to sell a house.
As luck would have it, Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing arrived at the housing management office and saw an elderly couple talking to the staff there.
They were both too old to maintain the courtyard house that had been returned to them.
They are now university professors and already have housing provided by the university.
The courtyard house that was returned to them was dilapidated because it had been occupied before. It was covered in smoke and fire, and those people didn't cherish it. Many parts of it were very run-down and no longer looked like it used to be.
It's not impossible to restore it to its original state, but that would require a lot of time, effort, and money, which is simply not worthwhile for them.
It's better to sell it, get some money to save, and that way life will be a little more comfortable.
When Ning Jing heard the elderly couple mention a courtyard house, her heart stirred.
He immediately stepped forward and started a conversation, saying that he was interested in buying a house and asked if he could take a look.
The elderly couple readily agreed, and seeing that Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing didn't seem like difficult people, they readily took them to see the house.
When the elderly couple led Ning Jing to the entrance of the courtyard house, Ning Jing finally came to her senses.
She imagined a courtyard house to be a large house with several courtyards inside.
The courtyard house that the elderly couple brought them to see had a courtyard with a skylight when the door was opened, and then there were side rooms on both sides, and the living room and main house in front. It was a simple courtyard house like those of ordinary people with a skylight.
Their asking price wasn't high, but it wasn't low either, 8,000 yuan.
Although this courtyard house wasn't the one Ning Jing had in mind, the house was a bit old, and the price wasn't low, Ning Jing still made the decision to buy it.
At least this house is just right for Xiuchun and the other three. There are two rooms on each side, one for each person.
Moreover, the main house is just right for her and Fu Hongxing to live in together.
Although there would be no room for her son and daughter if they came, Ning Jing specially bought this courtyard house for them.
So, I didn't think about anything else at all.
From arriving at the housing management office to viewing the house, to making the decision, paying for the house, and transferring the ownership, it only takes a few hours!
