After breakfast the next day, Lulu's mother took them to look at houses. Lu Jianguo went to work. Anyway, there was no room in the car, so they took the bus, which was only three or four stops away.
What comes into view is a small courtyard. When you open the door, there are five main rooms. The three in the middle are connected, with people living on both sides and receiving guests in the middle.
There is a room on each side that only has a bed and wardrobe, and can only be used for living. There are four rooms on the south side, with windows facing the front door and opening from the back, and they are also used for living. There is a bathroom on the west side and the east side of the stove, and a small courtyard in the middle for growing flowers and vegetables, which just separates the front and back rows of houses, allowing sunlight to shine into the house.
They felt that this house was much better than the ones in the village and had everything they needed. It was definitely not as good as the Western-style building, but they were already very satisfied. This yard could accommodate many people.
"Mom, won't you have any objections to giving such a nice house to my brother?"
Although the question was asked by Lu Wanwan, it was what Gu Feng was thinking, or rather, Gu Lang and Gu Lei had also thought so, except for Tang Xiaoxiao, because if her family had the same problem, she would do the same thing and would not think there was anything wrong with it.
"What does he have to say? It's not like he doesn't have his own place. You all have one. The place your grandfather and his family live in is going to be left to him, but he doesn't know if he will come back to live there yet."
"I hope you don't mind, brother?"
"Your brother has loved you since you were a child. Besides, we live in a house too. Why would you insist on snatching it from you? If your brother hears about it, he'll be furious with you."
Lu Wanwan thought so too. Her brother had spoiled her since childhood, so why would he care about these things with her? It was almost as if he wanted to give everything to her. Maybe she had read too many novels.
"Mom, shall we start cleaning up?"
"Pack up. Find out which room you want to stay in and clean it up yourself. I have something else to do at the hospital so I can't accompany you."
Mother Lu thought that giving them space would give them more freedom. Besides, she really had something to do. She had a meeting at the hospital soon and two operations in the afternoon.
After Lu's mother left, Lu Wanwan and Gu Feng walked into the main house and started to clean up. Lu Wanwan chose the room on the left, the one on the right was for Gu Feng's mother to live in, and the middle was for entertaining guests. In the summer, they could eat in the yard.
Gu Lei chose the room next to Lu Wanwan and the others. Gu Lang and the others started to live in the front room. The main rooms in the row behind this room were reserved for his elder brother Gu Feng. Lu Wanwan said that they should live in the good room first and make a decision after they arrived. In the end, they chose the room on the right.
In fact, there is no need to clean it very often. Someone comes to clean it regularly. They just wipe it with a rag and clean the inside of the cabinet so you can put things in it.
Gu Lei cleaned the house himself, and the rest of the time, one person looked after the children while the other cleaned up. After they finished cleaning, they went to help Lu Wanwan. Their house had three rooms.
After cleaning up, they went out together to buy some basins, bowls, chopsticks, etc. There were several pots here, so they could just wash them. They finished cleaning up in one day.
After packing up, Gu Lang said, "Wanwan, how about we give you some rent?"
"We don't need this, right? We can just live together."
"It's not good for us to live in your house forever. Please give us some money, otherwise we won't feel at ease."
Lu Wanwan was embarrassed. "We don't even know how much the rent is."
"I'll go ask around some other day and give it to you based on the surrounding area."
"You rent the place you like, so that's all. 100 bucks a year, okay?"
"Okay, fifty dollars a year will do."
Gu Lang and the others knew that they definitely couldn't rent such a good house at that price, but it would be pointless to talk about it any further, so they agreed without hesitation.
"Gu Feng, send a telegram home and ask Mom to come over. We'll go back over there tonight. We're too tired, so we can start firing tomorrow."
"Yeah, I'm really tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Wanwan, ask Mother Lu to help find an aunt to take care of the child during the day, and we will take care of the child ourselves at night."
"I need to find out more about this. We can't just take care of children casually."
After dinner, Lu Wanwan suggested that they help keep an eye on the child and find a nanny to take care of him.
"We need to find out about this. It's easy to find a nanny, but you have to be careful to take care of the child. You can ask Aunt Zhang to find out."
"Auntie Zhang, do you have a suitable nanny? They want to find a nanny to look after their children during the day."
"I can go out and ask around and see if any of my sisters want to go. We need reliable people to look after children."
"Take your time with this. There are still a few days left, so don't rush."
"If you guys are in school, I can go over and help out for a few days. We'll talk about it later if there's a suitable one."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. Sorry for bothering you."
Auntie’s problem has been solved, now it’s their turn.
"Mom, Gu Feng and I want to open a clothing store. We originally planned to buy a house. What can we do with the money we save?"
"I want to open a clothing store. Do you have a source of goods? What kind of clothes do you plan to sell?"
"We have the supply. These are designs I drew myself. We already have a lot of stock. We hired someone to make some youth clothing last year. We want to be near schools."
"You can go over there tomorrow and see which store is not doing well. You can buy it at a low price. It should be no problem to renovate it, but it has to be unique."
"My clothes are definitely one-of-a-kind and can't be bought anywhere else."
"Then you can go for a walk tomorrow. Your dad and I are off tomorrow, so I'll look after the two kids for you. You can come back in the evening."
"You can watch the kids, but we're going to fire over there tomorrow, so get used to the surroundings beforehand."
"It's better to get familiar with it in advance. I'll send the child over to you around six o'clock."
