Their family doesn't favor sons over daughters, but of course, they also don't favor daughters over sons.
Every child, regardless of gender, should be treated the same.
The couple walked into the guesthouse while talking, and Lu Huaijiao also mentioned the matter of buying a courtyard to Gu Changzheng.
“I’ve seen it. The location is excellent. If I buy it now for 12,000, I’ll definitely make a profit.”
Lu Huaijiao didn't know what would happen decades from now, but based on her experience living up to 1985 in her previous life, she believed that the real estate she bought now would definitely not be a loss.
Not to mention, it's in such a great location.
Gu Changzheng nodded.
"Okay, honey, it's good that you've made up your mind."
"Let's go take another look tomorrow. There are two adjacent houses. If Brother Tiezhu and the others don't buy them, then we'll buy them all and combine them into one super big courtyard."
If they buy it, then we can all be neighbors.
Of course, Lu Huaijiao definitely hoped they would buy it, since what seems like a huge sum of money now will not be so huge in a few years.
After the New Year, the situation completely improved. At this time, everything was in need of rebuilding, and as long as you were bold and careful, you wouldn't have to worry about making money.
Gu Changzheng agreed.
"I'll listen to my wife."
"snort!"
He was very nice when talking to her outside the bed; he really listened to everything she said.
But when it comes to bed, he's the one in charge.
Lu Huaijiao was too lazy to complain about this stinky man's personality, so she could only snort to express her dissatisfaction.
The next morning, Lu Huaijiao and Gu Changzheng prepared to go over and discuss the purchase of the courtyard with Grandpa Xiang again. Unexpectedly, just as they stepped out, Gu Tiezhu and his group opened their door as well.
Gu Tiezhu carried Gu Taotao, with Huang Tingxiu beside him, as they came out of the room.
They were dressed very warmly, clearly indicating they were about to go outside.
"Brother Tiezhu, Xiuxiu, are you going to the hospital?"
Lu Huaijiao thought they were going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Huang Tingxiu smiled and shook her head: "No, we're going to Tianshui Hutong today to finalize the house details."
Lu Huaijiao let out a soft "uh".
Does this mean you've decided to buy it?
As she was guessing, Huang Tingxiu spoke up again, saying, "Jiaojiao, we might not have enough money to buy the yard. We might have to trouble you to lend us some money."
Huang Tingxiu thought about it all night; she thought about many things.
From initially not wanting to buy, to finally being determined to buy the house, she went through a lot of internal struggle.
Buy it, Tiezhu doesn't earn money easily, every penny is hard-earned.
If we don't buy it, they won't have anywhere to stay in the city, and the whole family will still have to rent a house.
Renting someone else's house is never as convenient as living in your own home.
Moreover, although they have spent all their savings to buy the house, they have also obtained the house and can transfer their household registration to the city.
This is very appealing to a daughter who couldn't get through the college entrance exam and is only two years old.
In addition, she might be pregnant...
After much thought, Huang Tingxiu successfully convinced herself.
They also bought a house next door and became neighbors with Lu Huaijiao and her family, which naturally made Lu Huaijiao very happy. As for borrowing money, she certainly wouldn't have any problem with that.
The two couples went to Tianshui Hutong and met Grandpa Xiang and his youngest son who were waiting there. After talking for a while, they confirmed that there were no problems with the house deeds and land deeds, and that they could proceed with the formalities.
Lu Huaijiao and her group bought a house for 200 less, totaling 11,800. Huang Tingxiu and her group, on the other hand, paid 7,800.
This is a lot of money, so they can't just take out cash directly.
Tell the old man to deposit two passbooks, and then give them the passbooks to him later.
This is much better than carrying cash.
Lu Huaijiao and the others had no objections.
I got all these things done in one morning. Then in the afternoon, I went with Grandpa Xiang and his youngest son to the street office to transfer the house title.
Seeing Grandpa Xiang coming to transfer ownership, people on the street were a little puzzled as to whom he was "gifting" the house.
(Private sales of houses are now prohibited; to acquire a house, it can only be given as a gift.)
If it's given to relatives or something, the higher-ups don't care.
Because this is, to some extent, someone else's family matter.
With a smile, the old man introduced Lu Huaijiao and her family as distant nieces. Since they were going abroad to live with their eldest son, and the house was just sitting empty anyway, he thought it would be better to give it to a child in need.
After hearing what Grandpa Xiang said and confirming that he was voluntarily 'giving away' the house, the neighborhood officials didn't hesitate and directly processed the transfer procedures for him.
Soon, Lu Huaijiao and the others received their thin land deed...
With this, they can go and transfer their household registration.
From now on, I'll have a proper urban household registration.
As I came out of the street, I smiled and asked the old man and his family to take good care of the house.
Although he sold the house, it was still an old house, a place he had lived in for decades, and he still had feelings for it.
Lu Huaijiao and the others naturally promised to take good care of the house, and only then did Grandpa Xiang leave with his youngest son.
They left, and Lu Huaijiao and the others were leaving too.
Waving the keys in my hand, I prepared to go back to my new home to see how to decorate it properly.
Huang Tingxiu and her husband planned to go to the hospital to confirm whether Huang Tingxiu was pregnant with their second child.
