"Uncle Qiu."
Uncle Qiu stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the two of them. When they first wanted to buy the courtyard house, he was a little confused.
Gu Chengze is a soldier. Although he is assigned a family compound at his base, he will have a place to live after retirement.
But with the development in recent years, the price of courtyard houses has also been rising slowly.
People with discerning eyes quickly noticed that something was wrong. The real estate industry had become a big lucrative business, and many people wanted a piece of the pie.
Ever since Gu Chengze mentioned buying a courtyard house, he has been keeping an eye on it.
There were a few good ones this time, so they went to take a look together and tried to finalize the deal before they left.
"Sorry to bother Uncle Qiu."
Lin Jingshu said gratefully.
Uncle Qiu smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, you're welcome. I'm an old man with nothing to do at home, so it's nice to go out for a stroll with you guys."
Lin Jingshu found that his condition had improved a lot, and he was like a completely different person.
He is ambitious and looks much younger.
"Let's go, let's go to the south first. There are two nice houses there."
After Uncle Qiu spread the news that he wanted to buy a courtyard house, many people came to him.
Some were hurt in Beijing and went to other places.
Some of them committed crimes and left their hometowns.
The house left behind is useless, it’s better to exchange it for some money and take it away.
The courtyard house we want to see is not far from Uncle Qiu’s home, and the bicycle is left in the shop.
The three of them walked there together. It was two blocks away and took five or six minutes to walk.
There are many alleys nearby that are interconnected, and the areas they go to are relatively large, so parking is possible at the door.
On the way, Uncle Qiu still felt regretful for not being able to see the twins.
"I'll come and play with you next time." Gu Chengze said.
"Okay, I'll take them fishing. Bring some snacks when you go back."
Who knows, the children might be attracted here. This is Uncle Qiu’s little trick.
On the way, Uncle Qiu told them about the first courtyard house.
"The owner's children are all abroad, so they're anxious to sell. The price is negotiable. The area is quite large, but apart from the main house, the rest of the space is not well utilized and looks a bit shabby."
When we arrived at the place and knocked on the door, the other party saw that it was Uncle Qiu and welcomed him in.
"You can look at it as you like."
Even though she was mentally prepared, Lin Jingshu was still shocked when she saw the dilapidated windows of the side room.
Is this habitable?
It doesn’t matter if they don’t like it, they still have alternatives.
Uncle Qiu took them to four or five houses in the afternoon and told them all the situations clearly.
Lin Jingshu sighed thanks to the help, otherwise she would have to spend a lot of time on this.
"If there's a suitable one, I'll keep an eye out for you. Go back and discuss these today. If you like it, we'll decide on it. If you don't like it, we'll keep looking."
Uncle Qiu told them to rest assured and not to be embarrassed to speak.
He had been following her for so long, Lin Jingshu offered to treat him to a meal.
"No, let's make an appointment next time when we have time. I have to supervise the guys in the store to see if they are slacking off."
Uncle Qiu handed them the snacks and hurried back.
"Uncle Qiu looks a lot younger." Lin Jingshu said with a smile.
"That's right. People still need something to do to have hope. Let's go home. The two children must be worried at home."
Gu Chengze rode his bicycle home, carrying the snacks given by Uncle Qiu.
Walking in the alleys is a unique experience.
At night, the couple lay in bed discussing which courtyard house to buy.
After much deliberation, they finally decided on the third one.
The other party was a pair of old teachers who had suffered inhuman torture due to the changing times. After they were rehabilitated, many authorities returned their houses to them.
Time passed quickly, and many friends were gone. They didn't want to stay in this sad place, so they decided to sell the house and leave.
The house is well preserved and the furniture inside is quite old.
The homeowner said they could leave the items to them without paying any extra money.
The yard can easily accommodate eight or nine people, and Lin Jingshu thinks this is the most suitable.
In the future, your home will be spacious enough for living. After buying it, you can just do some simple cleaning and move in with your luggage.
Correspondingly, the price of this house is not cheap, less than ten thousand.
They planned to buy a house when they came out this time, so they took all their savings with them.
After confirming the house, they went to complete the transfer procedures the next day, handing over the money and the house.
The other party was also very happy to have such a straightforward buyer. When they learned that they had a short time in Beijing, they quickly cleaned up the place and made the house available for them so that they could pack up more conveniently.
The house was registered under Lin Jingshu's name, and Gu Chengze had no objection. He said, "The child and I are yours, and the house is yours too."
Zeng Lingshu knew that her two children wanted to buy a house, but she didn't know they had made the decision so quickly.
She regretted it so much. If they had told her earlier, she would have contributed money from her family.
Gu Chengze privately told his mother that the house was enough for the two of them with their wages, and he would definitely ask them if they needed money.
With Gu Chengze to explain, Lin Jingshu avoided the embarrassment of communication. After all, there was a layer of relationship between them, and it was not as convenient as having a biological son.
After Zeng Lingshu asked clearly, she didn't say much and still gave the money.
When the eldest son got married, he bought a house outside and his wife also contributed some money, so he must contribute the same.
After the original owner moved out, a family came to take a look and installed a new lock.
Her second brother and his wife are coming to Beijing soon. Now that the house has been bought, she wants to invite her family to visit Beijing together.
As Chinese people, we all have a common dream, which is to stand in the square and watch the red flag rise.
My parents are no exception.
Lin Jingshu called home, and after being persuaded by the children, Ding Xiangzhi decided that they should also try to stay in style and go to Beijing to have a look, and they should not let the children's kindness go to waste.
While they were on the road, Lin Jingshu and Gu Chengze packed up things in the yard.
The area was so large that two people couldn't finish cleaning it. In the end, the whole family had to get it done.
Ding Xiangzhi's eyes never stopped moving after he got off the train, and everything he saw was new to him.
"It's true that big cities are better."
It is several times more fashionable than their small county town. Thinking that his daughter bought a house here, Ding Xiangzhi straightened his back a lot.
"Mom, wait until Wen Yu and I settle down here, and then we'll bring you and Dad here to live with us in our old age."
Lin Mu was not just trying to cheer them up; the couple had actually discussed this matter.
Li Wenyu's parents are old and have been recuperating since returning from the forest farm.
She is the only child in the family, so she will definitely be the one to take care of the family in their old age.
Lin Mu also hopes that his parents can visit him more often.
The two people's salary is enough to support the family expenses, and it is not difficult to support both sets of parents.
"That won't do. I'm the boss in this matter."
"And me, my parents love me the most, they definitely won't want to leave me."
Lin Jingshu held her parents' arms tightly and refused to let go.
"We're not going anywhere. We'll just stay in Shuimogou."
It is enough for the children to have this intention. They are all busy with work, and parents cannot fall behind.
Moreover, after so many years in the Shuimogou Brigade, I couldn’t bear to leave even a blade of grass or a tree in my home.
The old couple felt very comforted by their children's words.
