Chapter 538 The First Courtyard
“Where’s the person who bought the yard?”
Xu Qingfeng asked Tang Wan with some confusion, and then he saw her alone.
"Oh, the landlord is a busy man and has no time to come, so he asked me to do the job.
Teacher, you and your wife each sign your names, and I will give you the money. I will take care of the rest of the formalities."
Tang Wan made up an excuse. She couldn't say that she bought it.
However, this was the first courtyard house she bought after traveling through time, and she was still very excited when she thought about it.
"OK."
Xue Tang was counting the money while Xu Qingfeng was signing, after all the formalities were completed.
Xue Tang then said, "Wan Wan, can I give him the key after I move all the things in the yard?"
"Sure, the landlord is busy and he's not in a hurry to move in."
Tang Wan smiled. Anyway, she was the owner of the house and she had no intention of living in it.
She just needs to find a way to rent it out in the future.
Otherwise, if Xu Congyi and his wife knew about it, they would make a big fuss.
She clearly bought it with her own money, so they might think it was given to her by her teacher.
"You found a good buyer."
Xu Qingfeng looked at Tang Wan meaningfully, and Tang Wan felt quite guilty.
"Yes... yes, teacher, you two should look after Xiaoyan and Yaoer at home.
Zhou Zhou, please accompany me to handle the formalities."
"Okay, sister."
Tang Zhou didn't understand Tang Wan's arrangements, he just did whatever his sister told him to do.
Looking at their backs, Xue Tang felt something strange. "Old Xu, why do I feel like something is wrong?"
“You just discovered it?”
Xu Qingfeng had already sensed something was wrong. He snorted, "I'm afraid the person who bought the yard is not someone else."
"You mean Wan Wan?"
Xue Tang was stunned, not knowing what to do with the money in his hand.
"No wonder she offered us such a high price, she probably thought we were short of money.
If I had known it was her, I wouldn't have charged her any money. I could have just given it to her."
"She wouldn't want it even if you gave it to her."
Xu Qingfeng still understood Tang Wan, "Okay, just pretend you don't know about this.
Regardless of whether she bought it or not, that yard has nothing to do with us from now on.
As for the extra money, spend it on Xiaoyan and Yaoer."
Anyway, he liked these two children very much. Xue Tang thought he was right and nodded happily.
"Then you stay at home and look after the house. I'll go buy some delicious food and come back to celebrate in the evening."
Xue Tang left the courtyard happily. On the other side, Tang Wan took Tang Zhou to the street office.
At this time, there are very few areas where houses are bought and sold, and in many areas, there is not even any buying and selling.
Kyoto is the capital after all, so some policies are implemented first. Even so, the procedures for buying and selling these houses are very simple.
Even the Housing Authority has not been officially established yet.
So Tang Wan quickly completed a series of procedures, and Tang Zhou was dumbfounded when he saw Tang Wan's name on the paper certificate.
"Sister, did you buy this house?!!!"
He was totally shocked, okay?
Thinking of the huge sum of money his sister took out, he suddenly realized how rich his sister was!
"Yes."
Tang Wan smiled happily, "Your sister will have her own house in the future."
"But……"
Tang Zhou asked hesitantly, "Do Teacher Xu and the others know?"
"Don't tell them!"
Tang Wan put away all the documents and then said to Tang Zhou:
"I asked you to come out and look at some other courtyards. Let's go and take a look first."
"Sister, why did you buy so many houses?"
For the native Tang Zhou, a house that is big enough for his family is enough.
So he doesn't quite understand the behavior of solving it himself.
“The government returned all our small houses to us.
My parents said they left a small house for you, so we have no shortage of places to live."
"Just to take a look."
Tang Wan couldn't say that the price of courtyard houses had skyrocketed in later generations, so she not only wanted to buy one, but also wanted to buy a larger one.
"Then I'll go with you to have a look."
Although Tang Zhou didn't understand, he was still obedient and accompanied Tang Wan to visit several houses.
It’s just that not many people are buying and selling houses these days. Although some people still have houses in their hands, they don’t know what to do with them.
So Tang Wan didn’t gain much, but she was not in a hurry because she still had more than ten years to buy slowly.
After receiving satisfactory information, Tang Wan and Tang Zhou strolled back home.
During this period, she had already thrown all her documents into the space.
As soon as she got home, she smelled the fragrance of rice, which made Tang Wan think of the days when Wang Dani was here.
It's good to have an elder in the family.
"Are you back?"
Xu Qingfeng was playing chess with Xiao Yan. He didn't even raise his head, but just greeted him lightly.
Yao'er was in the kitchen, apparently making dumplings with Xue Tang.
"Master, let me help you."
Tang Wan quickly walked into the kitchen and said, "Wow, Xue Tang is really generous."
Not only did I buy a roast duck, I also got a lot of meat and started making dumplings.
"So abundant?"
Tang Wan was a little surprised, but Xue Tang didn't think it was a big deal and she smiled happily.
"Your teacher and I are so old now, we have so much money that we can't spend it all, so of course we have to spend some of it to celebrate.
We'll make whatever you want to eat, how's it going?"
"Everything went well."
Tang Wan felt a little embarrassed and guilty, so she quickly helped to change the subject.
The dinner was particularly sumptuous, and Tang Wan specially took out the plum wine and wine that she had hidden for a long time.
"The wine here tastes better than the ones out there."
Xu Qingfeng is a wine lover and he never wonders where Tang Wan gets her wine from.
As long as it tastes good, that's fine.
"Teacher, if you like to drink, I'll leave you a few more bottles."
Tang Wan smiled and poured Xue Tang a glass of wine. "Master's wife, have a drink. Wine is good for your skin."
"good."
Xue Tang was also very happy today and talked to Tang Wan about her family for the first time.
"My mother used to love drinking wine and even planted grapes in the yard.
Every year when we kids ate grapes, she would make wine. I haven’t had her wine for a long time.”
Xue Tang's eyes turned red as she spoke. Her mother had passed away many years ago.
Her brothers and sisters are now scattered all over the world, and some of them have even lost contact.
Tang Wan coaxed Xue Tang softly, while Tang Zhou drank a few cups with Xu Qingfeng.
For Yu Yaoer and Xiao Yan, it was also a happy night because they had a lot of delicious food.
Especially the roast duck that Yaoer had been longing for for a long time.
Tonight Xue Tang got drunk unexpectedly, but Xu Qingfeng was not drunk. He said to Tang Wan:
"You take care of the children, and I'll take care of her. She likes to keep things to herself.
It's good to get drunk now, maybe you will feel better later."
"Okay, I'll go get some hangover soup."
Tang Wan went to the kitchen to get some sobering soup, but she didn't expect that Yao'er and Xiaoyan had already fallen asleep on the table.
There was still oil on the two little cats' mouths, and Tang Zhou wiped it off their faces with his rough hands and feet.
"Sister, I'll just wipe them casually and wash them tomorrow."
