Chapter 059 Finally bought a house
The idea of breaking off the engagement did not just come up now.
Xia He was there as early as a year ago.
But every time I think about what I have done for Xu Qinglin over the years, I always feel unwilling.
"Let's not talk about that bitch. I'll treat you to a meal."
Bai Zhenzhu was puzzled: "Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?"
Xia He: "You haven't been to the county town properly yet, have you? There's a good restaurant over at Qingshui River. I'll take you there to try it."
After saying that, Xia He went to the warehouse at the back and pushed out a motorcycle.
Looks somewhat familiar.
"This is Sister Nie Li's. She sold it to me."
Xia He pushed the motorcycle outside the store, turned off the lights and closed the door, then got on the motorcycle and tilted her head towards Bai Zhenzhu:
"Get in the car."
Shuo Shuo was extremely excited because he had never ridden a motorcycle before.
"Mom, hurry up and get on the motorcycle."
Bai Zhenzhu was a little worried:
“Can you ride?”
Xia He rolled her eyes at her:
"You look down on me, don't you? My brother has one too, and I ride it all the time, so it's no problem for me to take you two with me."
Bai Zhenzhu then hugged Shuo Shuo and sat on him.
The county town now is very different from what she remembers.
Now only the area near the department store has newly built buildings, the tallest of which has more than ten floors.
The new buildings are very beautiful, with white tiles on the exterior walls.
Most of the residential areas on both sides of the street are still red brick buildings, which are only five or six stories high at most and look gray.
Bai Zhenzhu clearly remembers that a few years later Xingfu Street would be changed to Chaoyang Avenue, which would be the widest and longest main road in Yuan City.
After the millennium, Chaoyang Avenue was lined with almost all new buildings.
Now the urban construction has begun and some construction sites are already under construction.
Bai Zhenzhu felt excited.
She doesn't have to focus entirely on the train station. She can also consider the houses and shops on Xingfu Street.
We should act quickly while it is still cheap.
The county town is not big, and Qingshui River can be reached quickly.
The restaurant's sign was inconspicuous, it was just called Qingshuihe Restaurant, and it didn't look as bright and grand as Bai Zhenzhu's restaurant.
Xia He parked her motorcycle outside and did not go into the store to sit, but sat under the shed outside.
"My sister is here, is it still the same as before?"
The proprietress, wearing an apron around her waist, came up to us and greeted us warmly.
Xia He didn't ask Bai Zhenzhu and ordered the dishes directly:
"Yes, still the four bowls you are good at, and three bowls of rice."
Bai Zhenzhu said hurriedly: "Two bowls of rice are enough."
The proprietress said: "Okay, you guys take a seat first."
The dish was served quickly and it turned out to be steamed food.
These are four of the ten most popular bowls at rural banquets.
One bowl of steamed longan meat, one bowl of steamed chicken, one bowl of steamed spare ribs, and a tasting bowl.
Xia He picked up some pork ribs and longan meat for Shuo Shuo and urged him:
"Pearl, you should try it. The steamed dishes here are quite good. I come here often to eat."
Bai Zhenzhu tasted the fried tofu and nodded:
"It's really good, this is the taste."
She didn’t know if it was because she was used to her mother’s cooking, but even though the food at this restaurant was also good, she still thought Li Xiufen’s was the best.
The filling in the longan meat was too sweet and the meat was not tender enough.
The fried tofu in the bowl was a bit overcooked, which affected the taste.
After dinner, Xia He took Bai Zhenzhu and Shuo Shuo back from the Qingshui River.
Now the mother river of Yuan County has not been managed and is like a wild river.
In a few years, the Qingshui River will be fully managed, with dams built and river embankments raised.
Many residential areas and parks will also be built on both sides of the river.
They kept shopping until almost nine o'clock, and then the three of them returned to the restaurant.
Bai Chenglei and his friends were having dinner, and there was only one table of guests still dining in the restaurant.
Xia He didn't stay long. She said goodbye and left on her motorcycle.
Li Yueshu didn't even have time to finish her meal, and excitedly took out 150 yuan:
"Pearl, after you left, I sold a set of clothes, a windbreaker and a short-sleeved shirt."
This was the first set of clothes that Li Yueshu sold independently, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Sister Yueshu is amazing. She got the hang of it so quickly."
Li Yueshu said embarrassedly: "I got the short-sleeved shirt cheaper."
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. We should have cleared out all the summer clothes anyway. It doesn't matter if we make a little less."
After hearing her say this, Li Yueshu no longer felt any psychological burden.
Seeing that she was still a little reluctant, Bai Zhenzhu said:
"Sister, those goods can only be turned into money after they are sold. I haven't set a fixed price. As long as it is not lower than the reserve price I told you, it's fine."
The reserve price that Bai Zhenzhu gave to Li Yueshu was the price she calculated after adding the cost and profit. The selling price she called out was usually twice the reserve price, so Li Yueshu had relatively large room to make her own decisions.
After hearing what Bai Zhenzhu said, Li Yueshu became obviously more confident.
"By the way, Zhenzhu." Liu Fang took out a note: "Today a guest who was dining here left an address and said that the house was for sale."
Finally bought another house.
The next morning, Li Yueshu went to the clothing store to open the door and clean the place, and Bai Zhenzhu gave the payment to Xia He.
Hearing that there was a house on Xingfu Street, Xia He asked Bai Zhenzhu to go and take a look.
"Why don't I go with you? You're unfamiliar with the place."
The main reason is that Bai Zhenzhu is so beautiful, Xia He is really worried. Bai Zhenzhu and the others don’t know for sure, but she knows that there are a lot of messy people in this city.
"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for the house."
As he said this, he locked the money in the cabinet and pulled down and locked the rolling door which was not fully opened yet.
The action was so quick that Bai Zhenzhu had no time to refuse.
"I can go by myself, you still have a shop."
"It's okay. There aren't many people around this early in the morning. I'll take you faster on my motorcycle. Let's go."
As expected, Xia He grew up in this county town. She was very familiar with Xingfu Street and knew the place just by looking at the name of the community.
"Jixiang Community. We passed by it last night when we were riding our bikes."
It’s not far away, just a dozen minutes’ bike ride away.
There is a primary school not far from the community, the location is quite good.
This is also an old community of red brick houses, and it looks like it was built at about the same age as the Xingfu Community.
There are quite a lot of people living there, and in the small yard there are ropes scattered around to dry clothes and quilts.
The clothes and quilts were covered with spider-web-like wires.
I don’t know whose TV antenna was tied to the edge of the window, sticking out at an angle, and people passing by had to turn sideways.
The house that Bai Zhenzhu wants to see is on the first floor and is located at the edge.
I knocked on the door and a man in his thirties opened it.
The man was stunned when he saw Bai Zhenzhu, his face full of surprise, his eyes straightforward and unbridled.
"Hey, who are you looking for, beautiful lady?"
Xia He pulled Bai Zhenzhu back and glared at the man with a cold face:
"Your family is selling the house, right?"
When he saw Xia He, the man's expression remained unchanged.
Although Xia He is fierce, she is also pretty and dresses fashionably.
"Buying a house? Come in."
The man opened the door and stepped sideways, motioning Xia He and Bai Zhenzhu to go in.
Xia He turned around and exchanged a glance with Bai Zhenzhu. Not only did they not go in, they also took a step back.
