Jiang Yi got a general idea of what was going on. He had come to buy a house in a hurry before, so there were many places he hadn't been to, and his information wasn't very accurate.
I'll inquire about the approximate room types and prices, and prepare to have a proper discussion with the old man later.
"Comrade Jiang Yi, these things are almost sorted out, so I won't disturb your rest any longer. If you need anything, just come to my house to find me." After Shouheng had settled everything, he immediately took his leave.
"Don't rush off yet," Tian Guihua ran into the room and hurriedly pulled out a bag of dried mushrooms. These were the only ones left after all the luggage had been shipped out. Since the luggage hadn't arrived yet, she could only offer them as a token of appreciation. "These were picked by ourselves from the mountains over there. Please don't be offended."
Shouheng dared not complain, "This is wonderful! We'd love to buy such good mushrooms here, but we rarely come across them. Thank you!"
...
After finishing our meal, we tidied up a bit, but everyone was too tired to do anything else, so they all went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep.
Hua Xiangyun waited until everyone had rested before leading Jiang Yi outside. The dump truck that had brought them over that morning was already parked outside the yard, and the key was in Jiang Yi's pocket.
"Honey, didn't I do a good job?" Jiang Yi jumped into the driver's seat and immediately took credit.
Hua Xiangyun gave him a thumbs up, "You've thought of things more thoroughly. Let's find a secluded place and put everything out."
She was just worried about where to put her things, but now that problem has been solved.
Jiang Yi was more thorough than she had imagined. He probably had his eye on the train as soon as he left the station, which is why he borrowed it from Comrade Shouheng for half a day.
"It's still early, and we have a car, let's go see our house." Jiang Yi also wanted to show off the results of his previous hard work to his wife.
Hua Xiangyun naturally had no objections. She had heard that there was a four-courtyard house over there, and she wanted to see the legendary large back garden of that house.
Little did they know that not long after they left, Hua Guangzong sat up abruptly.
"These two kids have gone out, I don't know what they're busy with. They've been traveling for days, they don't even know how to get a proper rest."
Tian Guihua said, "We're getting old, so please worry less about the children and don't interfere too much."
Besides, you don't know Xiaoguai well enough. She must have something important to do if she goes out at this time.
"But what's wrong with you, old man? You don't seem very happy. What's wrong? Your granddaughter is taking us to live in such a nice house, and you're not happy?"
Hua Guangzong said, "You old woman, all you know is how to falsely accuse me. I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little uneasy."
After all, this was a gift from Xiao Guai's master, but she brought our whole family to live here, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to her master later.
Here's what I'm thinking: tomorrow we'll go out and look for a place, whether it's renting or buying, to try and move out as soon as possible.
Aside from the few years he spent wandering, he had never lived under someone else's roof in his entire life, and now he has that feeling.
Xiao Guai is very filial and won't hold these things against them, but he himself can't get over that hurdle in his heart.
"I'm telling you, you really do have a heart problem, maybe you've developed a fragile heart again?" Tian Guihua sat up and glared at him. "If you don't feel comfortable living here, I'll talk to Xiao Guai about it. Didn't they buy another yard? We can move there then."
Besides, Master Wu is really good to our little one. Since we became his apprentices, we've taken so many advantages from him. Why don't you mention those things?
"It's because I've taken too many advantages that I feel embarrassed." Hua Guangzong wiped his face. "Other people's rules for becoming a disciple are to be respectful to their master, but our little darling has learned great skills from others, yet she still receives their care from time to time."
I'm still uneasy. Do you think we can just settle down here without feeling guilty?
Tian Guihua, "What are you thinking?"
Hua Guangzong said, "This time we brought all the money with us, so I was thinking we should buy a courtyard house so that Xiao Guai will have a family home here."
Tian Guihua scoffed, "Alright, we've spent our whole lives together, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
I think you're not uncomfortable living here, but rather you're thinking about acquiring property for your children.
Do you think we can afford a house like this with our limited resources?
Hua Guangzong shook his head honestly, "This place looks like it was renovated at great expense; the renovation might even have cost more than the purchase price."
Let's not be so greedy. Just having a place to stay is enough. Otherwise, do you really want to watch Zhiping and the others take the kids out to rent a place?
Even if we lived here, it wouldn't be a problem, but we have a child. How can the young couple manage if the child is noisy and disruptive?
Tian Guihua didn't want to listen anymore. "Alright, alright, it's just about buying a house, right? You can go see it tomorrow."
But let me tell you, our retirement savings are off-limits.
This old guy had already made up his mind to buy a house, and was afraid I would object, so he had to go through all this trouble.
Hua Guangzong grinned and said, "Of course I know that. If you're not comfortable with that, then don't take that part out. Our family will still let you keep it from now on."
It would be best if the old woman could agree. This is Beijing, after all. The Hua family will soon have a business here, and their children will have a place to live in the future.
With his worries resolved, Hua Guangzong's eyelids suddenly felt heavy. He collapsed, closed his eyes, and soon began to snore.
Tian Guihua laughed and cursed, "That old guy..." before turning over and falling asleep.
"These two houses are pretty good, aren't they?" After looking at the houses and packing his things, Jiang Yi began to take credit.
"The problem is how much money it will cost to renovate." The house is quite big, but it's also quite dilapidated.
Many people must have lived there before, and it wasn't well maintained, so it's full of potholes and dilapidated.
"Don't worry about that, I'll handle it. I'll definitely restore the pavilions and towers and give you a grand, antique-style mansion."
He also knew Hua Xiangyun's childhood dream: to have a home of her own, and he was prepared to build it himself.
Nowadays, everyone is into living in apartment buildings, but setting aside the future value of these courtyard houses, for those who cultivate themselves, such houses are more grounded and easier to cultivate in.
Hua Xiangyun said, "School is about to start and we'll be busy. We have a place to live now, so there's no need to rush."
Jiang Yi said, "I can't rush things. It's very difficult to find workers these days."
"I'll take you to the school tomorrow. Our school isn't far from the house, but it's not exactly close either. It will be much more convenient to ride a bicycle."
Luckily, I brought all the bicycles from home this time. From now on, I'll ride them to and from school every day.
Hua Xiangyun said irritably, "It's not like you skip class yourself..."
