Xia Jin said, "I'm staying here tonight. There's no question of taking advantage of you. I need your care because I'm all alone."
Aunt Cuihong said, "Of course, of course."
After having lunch together at noon, Xia Jin returned to the room and lay on the bed, smelling the scent of sunshine on the quilt, smiling foolishly, and then crying. In her tears, there was pity for the silly Xia Jin in her previous life who only wanted to find a trace of family affection from the Xia family, and there was a yearning for future life.
In the afternoon, Xia Jin said hello to Aunt Cuihong and left. She planned to go to another alley to look for a house and buy one of her own. Moreover, Xia Jin had memories of the future and knew how high the house prices would rise in the future. In this era, investing in real estate was a sure win.
Xia Jin spent the entire afternoon wandering around, but couldn't find anyone selling a house. At that time, most of the buildings were allocated by the factory for employees to live in. For example, the Xia family's house was allocated to Mr. Xia by the furniture factory, so it couldn't be bought or sold. Xia Jin could only buy the bungalows, but buying and selling houses was a matter of luck.
Xia Jin didn't find a suitable house. He sighed and thought, "I'd better make some money while I look for one. I know a lot of people selling things, so I can always find someone willing to sell a house."
Xia Jin was about to go back home after dinner, but unexpectedly, he heard two people talking at the next table while eating at the noodle shop.
"Lao Lin, you really have to sell the house."
"Alas, my son is taking us to Beijing. There's no point in keeping the house if I don't sell it. The cost of living in Beijing is high, so I'll sell it. But it's not easy to find a buyer."
"If I had the money, I would have taken it over anyway, connected the two stores, and merged them into one."
"Take it slow. No one has much money right now."
"Lao Du, are the noodles ready?"
"Here I come, here I come."
Xia Jin thought: "There's always a silver lining. I didn't find any place to live, but I ran into a shop owner while having noodles." Actually, it was not called a shop in that era. In that era, this kind of house had a street at the door. Generally, the family would live upstairs and open a small shop downstairs to sell things. Of course, if the family had workers, the whole house was just a residence.
Xia Jin looked at the two people over there chatting and laughing with the noodle shop owner, and thought: "They should know each other."
When the boss brought the noodles to Xia Jin, Xia Jin asked, "Boss, that's your friend over there."
The boss said: "We are all neighbors. We know each other after living on the same street for a long time."
Xia Jin said, "I heard they want to sell the house."
The boss said, "Old Lin wants to sell it. Does the girl's family want to buy it?"
Xia Jin said, "Where is the house located?"
The boss said, "It's right on this street. Miss, do you want to buy it to start a business? There are state-owned machinery factories and printing factories nearby. Business is pretty good."
Xia Jin said, "Then can the boss introduce me to someone?"
The boss said readily, "Okay."
"Lao Lin, Lao Liu, come here quickly, this little girl needs help."
"The two heard their friend's shout, came over with half-eaten noodles and asked, 'What's wrong with Lao Du?'"
The boss said, "This girl heard that Lao Lin wanted to buy a house, and she wanted to buy it."
The man called Lao Liu sat down opposite Xia Jin and said, "Really, little girl, you want to buy a house?"
Xia Jin said, "I do have that plan, but I also need to take a comprehensive look at the house."
Old Liu said, "Don't worry, girl. The house is very solid. Although it's a little old, it's well maintained."
"Lao Lin, finish eating quickly and take the girl to look at houses."
Xia Jin said, "Forget it today. It's a bit late. You wait for me here at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Can we go look at the house?"
Lao Lin said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here tomorrow."
Xia Jin said, "Okay."
After Xia Jin finished his meal, he returned home and saw Aunt Cuihong and her son sitting in the yard. Xia Jin asked, "Auntie, have you eaten yet?"
Aunt Cuihong said, "I've eaten, but you haven't come back yet so late. We're worried that something might have happened to you, so we're waiting for you."
Xia Jin felt warm in her heart after hearing the caring words and said, "It's a little late to eat. You don't have to wait for me outside in the future. It's nothing."
Aunt Cuihong said, "We are fine anyway, so let's just wait. We are at ease."
Xia Jin said, "I will definitely come back early next time. You guys go and get some rest."
Aunt Cuihong said, "You should also go to bed early."
"Good night, sister."
Xia Jin said: "Be safe, and good night, have a sweet dream."
After returning to his room, Xia Jin cleaned himself up, turned off the lights, and entered the space. Looking at the golden wheat waves in the space, Xia Jin thought that after buying the house tomorrow, he would also buy a harvester and bring it in, as well as a series of tools.
Xia Jin replanted the vegetables she had sold previously and added a lot of new seeds. She also planted all the previously vacant space with vegetables. She also prepared the vegetables to be sold tomorrow. After finishing, Xia Jin returned to her room, lay on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Xia Jin went to the vegetable market and started selling vegetables. Although this business could make money, Xia Jin decided to do it only this time. Firstly, she was not short of money, and secondly, it was very tiring to run a store and go to school at the same time, so there was no need to do that by selling vegetables.
In just a few days, Xia Jin's dishes had gained a good reputation among the crowd, so they were sold out soon after arriving at the market. Xia Jin saw that there was still some time left, so she waited for him at Du Ji Noodle House while eating noodles.
Before 7:30, Lao Lin arrived. Xia Jin had just finished eating noodles when he arrived. Xia Jin looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Lao Lin said, "I've eaten."
Xia Jin said, "Let's go and see the house."
"Hey, come on. Follow me."
Xia Jin followed Lao Lin out of the noodle shop and walked east past three doors. Lao Lin then stopped, took out his key, opened the door, and said, "Come in and take a look."
Xia Jin walked in and took a look around and asked, "How big is the room downstairs?"
Lao Lin said, "100 square meters is more than enough for your business, and there's even a place to rest upstairs."
Xia Jin said, "This house has been here for many years."
Lao Lin said, "It was built in the 1960s, but don't worry, the quality is definitely good."
Xia Jin looked at it carefully and asked, "How much are you planning to sell this house for?"
Lao Lin said, "I won't lie to you. If you want the total of 2,500, then we can go ahead and handle the paperwork."
Xia Jin thought, "Two thousand five hundred, if I buy both the top and the bottom, it's really a bargain."
So Xia Jin said, "Okay, then we'll find a guarantor to transfer the property today."
