Chapter 452 Buying a House
Both goat milk and cow milk are nutritious. There are many children in the family courtyard, so the logistics department raises two dairy sheep and shares some of the milk with the people in the family courtyard.
It is indeed a beneficial thing for everyone.
The dairy sheep farming went smoothly. In less than a week, the army logistics department bought two dairy sheep from the people of Xiaogao Village.
Anyone in need at the family home can go to the logistics department to get goat milk every morning.
It doesn't cost any money, and it's a benefit for military dependents.
Jiang Cuihua was very active in getting goat's milk. She would go to the logistics department at 8 o'clock every day to get a big bowl of goat's milk and cook it.
The triplets cannot drink goat milk yet, and Gu Yanyan is the only child in the family, and he can’t drink much by himself.
Liu Yinyin and Jiang Cuihua would sometimes also drink a little.
It's no secret that after drinking some goat's milk every day, Jiang Cuihua actually feels that her complexion has improved a lot.
That night, Gu Cheng said to Liu Yinyin, "I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. Let's go to Qing City to look at houses?"
Just leave the children to Jiang Cuihua. If you are really too busy, you can ask Liu Ersao for help.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "Let's go alone tomorrow."
It would be better if the house matter is settled as soon as possible. The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and Liu Yinyin is still thinking about going to Qingshi to get some supplies.
After breakfast the next day, the two boarded the boat to Qing City.
After arriving in Qing City, the two went to look for Gu Cheng's friends first.
He is also Gu Cheng's former comrade-in-arms, but he has changed his career and is now a leader in a factory.
Gu Cheng’s friend is called Shen Yuan, a native of Qing City. He lives in a house allocated by the work unit, a separate house.
It was similar to the housing that Gu Cheng was allocated when he worked in a steel factory.
Having made arrangements in advance, Shen Yuan was waiting for them at home.
"This is my sister-in-law, right?" Shen Yuan greeted. He was a year or two younger than Gu Cheng.
Liu Yinyin said with a smile: "Comrade Shen, thank you for your help."
Shen Yuan waved his hands and said, "Considering my relationship with Gu Cheng, this is nothing."
Shen Yuan took the two people to see the house.
On the way, I told them, "The house belongs to my cousin. His family is moving to the north to settle down. I heard that a friend of mine was looking for a house."
"I thought the house would just sit there empty anyway, so I might as well just sell it..."
His cousin's family is rich and owns two houses in Qing City, so it doesn't matter if they sell one.
This house at the train station looks quite old and it's easy for it to deteriorate if no one lives in it.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to sell it directly, save more money and buy a bigger house in the north.
Liu Yinyin took a careful look and found that the environment of the house was not bad, but not as good as the house she had borrowed before.
However, three thousand dollars to buy a house like this is definitely worth it.
The house is on the third floor, facing the sun, and the lighting seems to be very good.
Shen Yuan had the key and took them inside to take a look.
The house is indeed quite big, with three bedrooms and a living room, and it looks clean, as if it had just been swept.
There is not much furniture, just a few beds and cabinets, all of which are quite old.
The bed and the cabinet were not new, so Uncle Shen Yuan did not take them away, thinking of giving them to them.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not mind this. They would not refuse something that is free.
Liu Yinyin, on the contrary, didn't think so. Even though the house was not new, the bed and furniture could not be compromised.
When we move in, these furniture will definitely have to be replaced.
Shen Yuan: "How about it? If it's a key store, I'll ask my wife to come over and clean it up later."
Gu Cheng glanced at Liu Yinyin, and Liu Yinyin nodded.
The house is really nice and close to the train station, so if anything happens in the future, I will have a place to stay.
Gu Cheng talked with Shen Yuan for a while, and was quite surprised when he learned that they were not planning to transfer the house yet.
However, since the other party is willing to pay, Shen Yuan will not suffer any loss whether the property is transferred or not.
Moreover, if the family is not honest, they may even regret it.
Of course, Shen Yuan would never do such an immoral thing.
Since both parties were interested, the house purchase was settled.
When she came, Liu Yinyin brought three thousand yuan in cash.
The house was not transferred immediately, but Shen Yuan wrote them a receipt.
If they want to transfer the ownership of the house in the future, they can go to the street office to handle it at any time.
Shen Yuan handed them the key and suggested, "How about having lunch together at noon?"
Gu Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Maybe next time. We have other things to do today. Yinyin and I will treat you to a meal next time."
Shen Yuan helped out a lot, so it was only right that they treat him to a meal.
Forget it today. We have finally come to Qingshi, and the couple would like to go out for a walk.
Nearing noon, the two went to the state-owned hotel to eat.
Finally buying the house, Liu Yinyin was in a good mood: "I'll come back in a few days to clean the house and... find a craftsman to make some new furniture."
Gu Cheng nodded and said, "You can handle it yourself. If it's troublesome, I'll deal with it next time when I'm free."
It is difficult to ask for leave from the army, so Gu Cheng has limited time when he comes to Qingdao.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
It is not difficult for her to buy furniture. After all, she is alone here, so she can do whatever she wants.
In order to save money, Liu Yinyin planned to smuggle a batch of furniture directly out of the system.
As for the old furniture in the house... just sell it directly to the system.
Although the furniture is not new, the items of this era are all authentic.
Maybe you can even make a considerable profit.
So, by then Liu Yinyin will definitely find an opportunity to come here alone.
When they arrived at the state-owned hotel, they didn't save money and ordered two dishes, sweet and sour pork ribs and mushrooms and bok choy.
The staple food is white flour steamed buns.
Liu Yinyin also asked for four large meat buns to pack up and take back for Jiang Cuihua and Gu Yanyan.
It’s troublesome to make meat buns, we don’t eat them often at home.
Moreover, the meat buns made at home are definitely not as delicious as those bought from state-owned restaurants.
After lunch, the two went to the department store to buy things.
The weather is getting warmer, and it's time to make summer clothes for the children.
Liu Yinyin picked out two pieces of good cloth, bought five packets of milk powder, and a can of maltose.
Seeing the canned beef, Liu Yinyin also bought two boxes, as well as a can of biscuits and a bag of pastries.
I didn’t buy anything else. Liu Yinyin will come again in a few days, and I will bring some supplies back then.
In the afternoon, the two returned home with a full load.
In the next two days, Liu Yinyin was busy making some summer clothes.
There was a lot of fabric at home, so Liu Yinyin made two new dresses for herself, and Gu Cheng, Jiang Cuihua, and Liu Laifu also made new clothes for her.
The sewing machine at home was almost smoking from being stepped on by her.
After two days of being busy, Liu Yinyin finally had some free time. At noon that day, she was thinking about making some snacks.
This time I didn’t make it for Gu Yanyan, but because Liu Yinyin was greedy and suddenly wanted to eat spicy noodles.
