"Come, sit down and talk!" Yuan Anchun led them to sit in front of his desk, took out a large booklet with white paper cut out and clipped together from the desk, "Housing sales have just been liberalized, there are not many houses available, most of them are listed here, you can take a look for yourself first."

Yi Qingqing nodded. She also knew something about this. She even knew that although the booklet looked large, there was actually not much written on it. Most of the back was blank.

She opened the booklet with ease and looked through it with Yun Guyuan.

This booklet contains handwritten house information.

It contains information such as the house address, floor plan, current status and price. Although it is simple, it is quite complete.

She has more than 39,000 yuan and plans to spend 25,000 to 30,000 yuan to buy a house. Ayuan also has a budget of 10,000 yuan.

Before coming here, Yi Qingqing thought that since she was not very picky and didn't care about whether it was a courtyard house or something else, it should be easy to buy. But after reading this booklet, she realized that she was overthinking.

There is not a single house in this brochure that costs over ten thousand yuan.

She needed to scrape together enough money to buy a house worth 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and at least five houses. Including Ayuan's, the two of them would have to buy seven houses.

There is no less than this number, only more.

Among the houses in this brochure, one third are small houses separated from tube-shaped buildings, and the total price is about one thousand to fifteen hundred yuan.

Another one-third of the houses are located in remote areas outside the suburbs, where there is not even a direct bus service. The total price is also over one thousand yuan, but they are larger than the houses in the tube-shaped buildings. They are all bungalows and do not even have a yard.

These are things Yi Qingqing would not consider.

The former has a small house and complicated neighborhood relations, so it can only be rented out as a residence. It is so small that it does not make much money if rented out, and it is difficult to manage. If it is left there, it will probably be occupied by neighbors in no time.

The latter has transportation issues, but the main problem is that it is too small, only slightly larger than the small compartment in the tube building, and is far from meeting Yi Qingqing's requirements, and the total price is too low.

So she could only choose from the remaining one third.

Yi Qingqing never imagined that one day she would feel that she had too much money and that all these houses were not enough for her to choose from.

First of all, the most expensive house in the brochure is a small red brick building on Fenglu Mountain in the western suburbs of the imperial capital.

This name is quite literary and has a sense of history.

"This is the former villa of the Wang family, a wealthy merchant in the imperial capital. It has a history of fifty years. All the things inside have been moved away. It is a two-story red brick building with yards in front and behind the building. There is also a natural spring and a bamboo forest in the backyard. It was built at a high price. It has been abandoned for too many years. Some debris needs to be cleaned up and repaired. However, the materials used in the house were exquisite, and the main structure is still quite solid. In addition, the road is a bit deserted and the location is relatively far, so it is not easy to get in. In addition, the owner is in a hurry to sell, so such a big house only costs 8,000 yuan.

The owner of this house is a descendant of the Wang family. He just returned to the imperial capital a few years ago and put all his properties in the imperial capital up for sale. I guess he is planning to leave the imperial capital."

Yuan Anchun saw that she stayed on this page for quite some time, and guessed that she was quite interested in this house, so he said a few more words.

In fact, he felt that this house was not easy to sell. It was too remote, located in Fenglu Mountain. No one had walked on the road for many years and it was very deserted. There was nothing around except mountains. Who would spend 8,000 yuan to live there?

But the house is really beautiful. It was where the Wang family lived when they went to the mountains to escape the summer heat. The materials used are really exquisite. Even though most of the Wang family members are dead or gone, only this one descendant is left. It was only because he donated a lot of money during the Anti-Japanese War that he was able to come back and the house was returned to him.

If it hadn't been unattended for such a long time, given the size and appearance of this house, it would have been sold for at least 10,000 yuan even in Fenglu Mountain.

It is called a cottage, but it is basically a manor.

When Yi Qingqing heard that it had a history of fifty years, she knew that the house was from the Republic of China period and was a red brick building. It was used by a wealthy businessman as a villa. She already had a rough picture in her mind.

There was a period of time during the Republic of China when red brick buildings that combined Chinese and Western styles were very popular. Yi Qingqing had also seen pictures and videos of them in her previous life. If it was really as she thought, then this house was a great bargain at eight thousand yuan.

She is not afraid of remoteness at all.

Fenglu Mountain is considered a suburb in the imperial capital of later generations. There is also the largest forest park in the imperial capital nearby. It is just right to be in the suburbs, so she also prepared a mountain villa for herself.

There are many holiday villas here in later generations, but none of them can compare to this red brick building with a courtyard.

To be honest, after leaving Xiangshui Village, what Yi Qingqing was most uncomfortable with was the absence of Daqing Mountain.

Not to mention hunting and such, the main thing is that the feeling of being close to nature is gone.

Isn't this little red brick house in the mountains just right? There are many mountains and forests around it. If it is well renovated, there will be beautiful scenery when you go out. It will definitely be comfortable to live there. It is a good place to cultivate your body and mind. If you bring your parents to the capital to live in retirement in the future, they will definitely like it.

The more I think about it, the better it seems. I can use these eight thousand dollars to buy a house in a remote mountain area. Even if the house was very good before, it now needs a lot of repairs. In fact, in this era, it is far less cost-effective to buy a house in the city or suburbs, as the latter appreciates faster and more.

But she is not a person who will wrong herself. What is the purpose of making money? Of course, it is for her own happiness and comfort. Money can't buy the good in your heart.

She didn't buy this house to make money, and the possibility of selling it in the future is not great, so there is no loss or profit.

"I've reserved this house first," Yi Qingqing said immediately, and quickly flipped through a few pages: "And this one, this one, this one, and these ones, I want to see them all!"

Before coming, A Yuan also told her that he planned to use the ten thousand yuan to buy a house and rent it out to make money, so as to avoid having to spend his salary to exchange for money in the world of the living later.

So Yi Qingqing took charge of his house purchase and planned to buy him some houses that were suitable for use as shops.

Anyway, there aren't many houses that are roughly suitable in this booklet, so I might as well point them out and take a look first.

"So many?" Yuan Anchun was stunned. She checked almost all the houses in the booklet that were priced above two thousand yuan.

"Yes, this is our budget," Yi Qingqing pointed at four fingers.

"Four thousand?" Yuan Anchun said before he realized that this person obviously liked Hong'an Cottage the most, so it should be eight thousand. He swallowed his saliva and said in a floating voice: "Forty thousand?"

Yi Qingqing nodded, "Yes, please take us to have a look, I will reward you handsomely later!"
