Gu family.
When Xia Weian arrived, Gu Changan and Zhang Qiaoyue were both there.
"Brother Gu, sister-in-law, you are all at home." Xia Weian greeted with a smile.
"Weian, come in and drink some water first. There is no rush today. We both have taken leave. Buying a house is a big deal. Let's take a good look and compare comprehensively. We have also inquired about the prices." Gu Changan said in a gentle voice.
Xia Weian was touched and responded with a smile. He drank a glass of water, chatted with Gu Changan and Zhang Qiaoyue for a few words, and then the three of them went out together.
The three of them first went to the Housing Management Office to find Zhang Qiaoyue’s friend, Wang Fang.
Wang Fang and Zhang Qiaoyue are childhood friends. They were neighbors when they were young and have a very close relationship.
When Wang Fang saw Xia Weian, she was stunned for a moment before she greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Comrade Xia, are you here alone?" Wang Fang asked with a smile.
Usually couples come to buy a house, but Xia Weian came alone. Does this mean he's not married yet? Or... he's widowed?
"My wife fell and injured herself a few days ago. Brother Gu and his wife can help me with some advice." Xia Weian replied gently.
When Wang Fang heard Xia Weian talking about his wife, her eyes flashed slightly, so quickly that no one noticed.
"Then let's go take a look first." Wang Fang called the three of them, "It's not far, it's convenient for us to walk there."
"Okay, Fangfang, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Qiaoyue put her arm around Wang Fang's arm, and the two walked in front and chatted.
Xia Weian and Gu Changan followed closely behind them, not disturbing their conversation.
We soon arrived at the first house.
It was a dilapidated courtyard with the door panels swaying and creaking. It looked like the courtyard had been abandoned for a long time.
"The biggest advantage of these houses is that no one is inside. We can live in them ourselves or rent them out, and the contracts will be signed by us, which saves a lot of trouble."
"This house has been abandoned for a while, and the owner just put it up for sale, but no one has come to see it yet."
Wang Fang gave a very detailed introduction.
Xia Weian listened attentively and observed carefully. The windows of this house faced the street. When it was opened in the future, it could be converted into a street-side shop.
Although the yard is not as big as Han Liehu's house, it is still enough to add a small house.
"Comrade Wang." Xia Weian thought for a moment and then asked, "This house is a bit shabby. After I buy it, I will definitely rebuild it. Can these procedures be approved at the same time as the house purchase?"
Xia Weian knew that there was a period of time when their city was actively demolishing illegal buildings, and almost all those without licenses were demolished.
Including the second floor that the owner connected to himself.
Xia Weian thought that while there were still loopholes in various regulations, he should take advantage of them first.
"Of course you can. You can write down how you want to build it and the area, and then I will find someone to draw the architectural plan for you." Wang Fang said.
These are all small things, and for her, it doesn't take much more than a word.
"Thank you, Comrade Wang. I want this apartment. Let's look at the next one."
"Comrade Xia, aren't you going to ask about the price?"
"If you want to ask, let's look at everything and discuss the price together. You are my sister-in-law's friend, I believe you will help me consider it." Xia Weian said with a smile.
He spoke in a humorous and friendly way, which made Wang Fang feel very happy.
"Haha, that's right. We are all family. Let's look at houses first, and then come to my house at noon and have lunch together." Zhang Qiaoyue said.
"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant at noon. My sister-in-law has been with us all morning, so she doesn't need to bother cooking. I'll treat you and Comrade Wang." Xia Weian said.
"Okay." Zhang Qiaoyue knew Xia Weian's character and was not shy.
The four of them continued to look at houses. Among the remaining three yards, one was particularly large, one was very large, and the other two were very close to the department store and were facing the street.
Xia Weian decisively took both.
The last one is a small second floor. The owner has just moved out, and there are still vegetables and grape vines planted in the yard.
Xia Weian fell in love with it at first sight. The most important thing was that the small building was very big. There was a kitchen and master bedroom downstairs, two guest bedrooms, a room that was originally used as a study by the owner, and a large living room.
The house must have been occupied by several families before. It was shabby inside and there were obvious signs of partitions.
There are eight small rooms upstairs.
"This family used to be famous for having a large population, but later on..." Wang Fang didn't elaborate further, "There weren't many people left. Maybe they didn't want to bring back memories, so they sold it and said they were moving away."
Xia Weian understood what Wang Fang meant. The landlord's family had experienced some things, and they were lucky to be able to come back at this time.
"I want this too." Xia Weian said.
Wang Fang was numb all the way here. She even quietly asked Zhang Qiaoyue, Xia Weian was just a farmer, it was really a big deal.
"Okay, then let's talk about the price. We'll make an appointment with the homeowner in the afternoon and complete the formalities. As for the remaining construction of the house, you can contact me anytime when you are done and I will take care of it." Wang Fang said.
"Okay, thank you Comrade Wang. Let's eat first and then talk about the price." Xia Weian was in a good mood. He already had the layout of the house in his mind. After completing the formalities, he would go back to measure the dimensions, draw a simple diagram, and go back to discuss it with his sister Yun.
"Okay." Wang Fang responded with a smile. She admired Xia Weian in her heart. He was capable, rich, and straightforward. Most importantly, he was good-looking, looked young, and had good manners.
What a pity, he has a wife.
Wang Fang's husband passed away a year ago. In the past six months, her parents and people around her have been trying to introduce her to someone. She and her husband have only one daughter who is ten years old.
It is easier for a widow to find a husband with her daughter. In addition, Wang Fang has a decent job and can earn 40 yuan a month. She also has her own house, a small three-bedroom apartment in a tube-shaped building, which currently houses her and her daughter.
In addition, the welfare benefits provided by the Housing Management Office are also good, so many people rush to curry favor with Wang Fang.
But Wang Fang is too proud and arrogant, and none of the blind dates she has dated yet are to her liking.
Finally, she fell in love with Xia Weian, who was married.
Can't his wife just die?
Wang Fang thought about it and quickly lowered her head and coughed twice, then quickly adjusted her expression.
The four of them went to the state-owned restaurant together.
Xia Weian and Gu Changan ordered four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and white rice.
This food is pretty good.
Wang Fang was very satisfied with the meal. Although her family was well-off, it was rare for her to eat such good food.
"I'm sorry to have let Comrade Xia spend the money." Wang Fang looked at Xia Weian and smiled gently and elegantly.
"It's my duty." Xia Weian smiled and responded politely.
After discussing it, the four of them decided to go to Gu's house to discuss the price, which was more convenient than talking at the Housing Management Office.
The homeowner's quote for the first unit is 800 yuan, the second unit is 1,000 yuan, the third unit is 950 yuan, the fourth unit is 1,200 yuan, and the second floor is a bit more expensive, at 2,800 yuan.
The total amount is 6,750 yuan.
