Chapter 151

The sudden love words made Qin Xiang stunned. At such a sacred and ambiguous moment, Qin Xiang should have lowered her head in shame, but Qin Xiang burst out laughing, "Should I be particularly moved now?"

Facing her gaze, Meng Huaiqing felt that he was about to indulge in it. His tone was steady, as if he was talking about something very ordinary. "I'm telling the truth. Before I met you, I never thought that I would sit with a woman like this, eating homemade noodles and talking casually."

Qin Xiang finally felt a little shy and pursed her lips and said, "Right, I also think I'm good."

Meng Huaiqing nodded and said softly, "Yes, you are good."

After that, he stood up and took the dishes into the kitchen to wash them. Qin Xiang followed him in. The man had a broad back, Because it was too cold, he didn't take off his thick cotton jacket, but he just stood there, looking different from an ordinary man.

Qin Xiang suddenly said, "If you keep being so good, I'm worried that I will fall in love with you."

The man paused and looked back at her, his eyebrows and eyes were full of gentle smiles, "Then I need to work harder."

He washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard, then slowly wiped his hands and reached out to hold Qin Xiang's hand. The cold touch made Qin Xiang shiver.

The next second, the man actually hugged her into his arms, and the two of them froze immediately.

Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing.

They were both wearing too much, just like penguins, and it was almost impossible to hug each other like this.

Meng Huaiqing also smiled, and suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, "Sorry, I really couldn't help it."

The kiss was light and fleeting, and Qin Xiang didn't feel anything except a little coolness.

Her heart was pounding, she reached out and pulled him down by the collar, then tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.

Meng Huaiqing's lips were different from his, and there was a slight coolness. He seemed surprised that Qin Xiang would do such a thing, and because of surprise, he seemed to have forgotten to react. When he reacted and wanted to take back the initiative, Qin Xiang had let go of her and turned out of the kitchen.

The living room was quiet, and there were faint sounds of talking in other rooms.

Meng Huaiqing followed Qin Xiang out, and his fingers unconsciously touched his lips, which were burning.

He said regretfully, "I should go back."

Qin Xiang hummed, and said like an old driver, with a normal expression, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Qin Xiang turned on the light in the corridor, and the two went down together. The shop on the first floor was still dark. Before Qin Xiang turned on the light, she was pulled aside by the man, and a hot kiss came immediately.

Meng Huaiqing was a gentle person, but his kiss was hot and overbearing, as if the momentary coolness upstairs was just Qin Xiang's illusion.

Qin Xiang almost lost her balance for a moment when he turned around.

Fortunately, Meng Huaiqing was very sensible. He kissed her for a while and then let her go. His voice was a little strange, "This is a return gift."

Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, what a return gift.

Qin Xiang opened the roller shutter and said, "Mr. Meng, good night."

Meng Huaiqing said with some regret, "Ms. Qin, good night."

Qin Xiang stood at the door and watched him get into the car. It was pitch dark, and she seemed to see Meng Huaiqing's reluctant eyes.

"See you later." Qin Xiang waved her hand, turned back into the front room and closed the roller shutter. She leaned against the roller shutter and couldn't help laughing.

It was a strange feeling, which had never happened in her previous life, nor in this life.

The marriage with Wang Junsheng was just a routine. Even the movements between the two of them on the bed when they just got married were like a mission.

But now she almost lost herself because of a kiss.

This won't do. Love is just a condiment. No matter how good this man is, she doesn't want to step into that tomb again.

Go upstairs to sleep and have a good night's sleep.

But she didn't know that Meng Huaiqing didn't sleep for half the night because of the accident tonight.

At noon the next day, Mi Hongjun, Miao Xiaofeng each took Zhao Ping and Li Baotian to the textile factory and the railway company respectively, preparing to start the first day of warehouse clearance.

Qin Xiang and Qin Baotian waited for a while, and the truck from Yangcheng arrived. The goods were unloaded, and the warehouse that was mostly empty was full again.

Because the wholesale city opens late, there is no rush to pull the goods over, and it is not too late to pull them over on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After sending the truck away, the grandfathers began to sort the goods. This time they are all spring styles, and the clothes should be thinner. She checked and found that the four spring styles she designed before the New Year were also among them.

Although the storefront was clean after the New Year, it still needed to be cleaned, thoroughly cleaned, and then the new clothes were hung on the hangers. As for the matching, Qin Xiang planned to teach the store clerks, these are necessary skills.

In the evening, the people who went out to set up the stalls had not returned yet, so Qin Xiang and Qin Baotian bought some mutton to stew, and waited for everyone to come back and drink a bowl of it to warm themselves up before they could talk about today's situation.

Mi Hongjun said, "Although it's not that good, we still sold fifty or sixty pieces. I think I can go again tomorrow."

Miao Xiaofeng said, "It's better over there. We sold seventy or eighty pieces in total. Men's woolen coats sold well. Most of them were bought by women at home for their men."

Qin Xiang nodded, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I won't go tomorrow. Let's take a rest first. It's too cold."

It's really a torture to go out and enjoy the breeze for such a small amount of money. Unexpectedly , Miao Xiaofeng was

very motivated and felt that she could go one more day tomorrow. Qin Xiang did not stop her and just said, "Okay, if you go tomorrow, I'll give you one dollar for each piece of clothing you sell." Miao Xiaofeng suddenly became excited and said, "Okay." Mi Hongjun was also a little greedy. Qin Xiang said, "Don't go. You and Brother Zhao should go out and continue to look for a house for me." Mi Hongjun knew Qin Xiang's obsession and no longer insisted. "Okay." After dinner, everyone else went back to their rooms. Qin Baotian came over and asked, "You already have a house, why do you want to buy one? I heard that houses here are not cheap." Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I have this house, but it's not spacious. Besides, I won't lose money if I buy it. If I go bankrupt one day, it's my business, right? The rent is enough for me to live on." "Bah, don't say unlucky things when doing business," Qin Baotian frowned and thought for a while, "Since you want to buy it, I'll go out with you tomorrow to look for it. I've met a lot of people in the past few months." Qin Xiang didn't take it to heart, "Okay, go if you want to, wear something thick, don't freeze."

It was still really cold after the Chinese New Year. If it wasn't necessary, Qin Xiang didn't want to go out, but there were only a few days left. If she didn't look for a place now, she would have no time when school started.

The next day, all of them split into four groups. Those who sold clothes sold clothes, and those who looked for houses looked for houses. They

went in three directions and looked for houses separately. Qin Xiang herself didn't find a suitable house. As a result, on the third day, Qin Baotian came back and said that someone wanted to sell a courtyard house. It was in a residential area not far from the south gate of Tsinghua University. It was said that there were university professors living around. Qin Xiang immediately became interested, "Let's go and take a look."

The grandfather and his wife went to find someone from the Housing Authority and went to see the yard together.

The person from the Housing Authority was in his forties. Qin Baotian said he was his friend. Qin Xiang was surprised. Her father was quite powerful. He even knew about the people from the Housing Authority.

When they got to the house, there was a man in his fifties who waved at them and said, "I've been waiting for a long time."

When they asked, they found out that he was also Qin Baotian's friend.

Looking at her father, Qin Xiang felt that her father had grown a lot taller, and she didn't expect him to be a social bull.

After calling for help, the people from the Housing Authority unlocked the door and the grandfather began to introduce the house. "This house used to be the warehouse of the Revolutionary Committee. It was well kept and basically not damaged. Even the original bad parts have been repaired because of the inventory. Wasn't the owner of the house rehabilitated a few days ago? His wife and children are gone, and a bunch of relatives want to occupy the house. The landlord got angry too, and simply wants to sell the house and go abroad, far away, and no one will bother him anymore."

Pushing the door open and going in, the yard was clean, but weeds had grown in the corners, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a while.

The old man said, "Now the landlord is looking for a place to live, and he is afraid that those relatives will come."

Qin Baotian couldn't help frowning when he heard it, "Will we have any trouble if we buy it? What if those people come to make trouble?"

Hearing this, the comrade from the Housing Management Office said, "The owner has changed, what can they do? This is the capital, if they dare to make trouble, you can just call the police."

"Then why doesn't the landlord report to the police?" Qin Baotian still has doubts.

The old man is more familiar with the landlord, and sighed, "My friend was so scared during those years of being sent down that he didn't dare to report to the police, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a fuss."

In fact, the old man was helpless. He couldn't live in a good house himself. Not letting relatives come to live was selfish and didn't care about the life and death of relatives. Who would be uncomfortable?

Qin Xiang didn't think it was a big deal. "It's not a problem."

At most, she could ask Zhao Ping and Li Baoguo to bring their people over. No matter how many relatives they have, she has more than a dozen employees.

She is not afraid if they really come to her. She has seen it. There is a police station at the corner of the street. At most, she can report it to the police. The landlord has concerns, but she doesn't. The house she bought is hers, and no one can occupy it.

Seeing her calm, the master raised his thumb and praised, "You are so calm. That's right. If my friend had your character, he wouldn't have made such a fuss."

When Qin Xiang was outside, he looked at the width of the courtyard wall. It was about ten meters wide. The main gate opened in the east direction. There was a row of back houses against the south wall. Facing the entrance was a large screen wall. Entering from the hanging flower gate, the main house was visible from the front. There were five rooms in total, including three main rooms and two side rooms. There were three side rooms in each of the east and west directions. There was a moon gate near the northeast corner. After passing through the moon gate, there was a row of five back rooms.

The courtyard was very clean as a whole, and the situation inside the house was similar. There was a set of Huanghuali eight-immortal table and four chairs, but there was nothing else, not even a bed.

The grandfather said helplessly, "Originally there was a bed, but when he moved out and lived there secretly, he happened to come back and was discovered, so he was rushed in and robbed."

Qin Baotian blurted out, "Isn't that a robber?"

"Yeah, it's almost the same as a robber." The grandfather sneered, "Otherwise he wouldn't have to sell it and go abroad to join his cousin. It's not so easy to go abroad, but he was determined."

Qin Xiang liked this yard very much. The surrounding environment was good, the houses were well preserved, and most importantly, it was not far from the school. There were some professors around, so it was safe to live there.

"How much is this yard?"

The grandfather held up five fingers, "Five thousand."

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "Grandpa, this price is not easy to sell."

The grandfather said, "It costs a lot to go abroad, so you must want to sell more."

Although five thousand is not much, the area of ​​this yard is not that big. Qin Xiang shook her head, "Four thousand and five, okay, let's go and handle the procedures today, if not, you can wait."

She didn't want to do too much, so she gave a reasonable price.

The grandfather was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, four thousand and five is four thousand and five, to be honest, I added the five hundred myself, and my friend thought four thousand and five is about right."

Qin Xiang: "..."

"Then you go and call your friend, and we will go to handle the procedures."

The house is here, but it can only be considered her house if the procedures are completed quickly.

When a few people came out, they saw a few people looking over here. The eldest master's face turned cold and he said loudly, "Some people are shameless. They think about things that don't belong to them every day. Such people are not afraid of being struck by thunder."

Everyone is afraid of being struck by thunder, but thunder doesn't strike for no reason.

Qin Xiang just glanced at them and said, "Let's go."

A few people went to the Housing Management Office. Qin Xiang asked Qin Baotian to go back and call people, and call Mi Hongjun and Zhao Ping. They would see who would be the winner in the majority.

The eldest master followed and took the landlord over. Qin Xiang chatted with the staff at the Housing Management Office.

Qin Xiang said, "If you have any suitable houses, please tell me. I want to buy one as a warehouse."

The staff laughed and said, "You think courtyard houses are cheap. Nowadays, everyone lives in a small space, and few people are willing to sell their houses. This family is also helpless, otherwise they would not think of moving far away."

Qin Xiang just asked, and if there is no one, forget it.

She suddenly remembered that the courtyard house they rented when they first came to the capital last year was also nearby, and it seemed to be in the alley in front. Unfortunately, the landlord was not there. Now, let alone buying it, he would not even rent it out.

The two chatted for a while, and Qin Xiang left an address and phone number for the staff, hoping that other suitable people could contact her.

Fortunately, the staff was nice and agreed.

After more than half an hour, there was a noisy sound outside, and Zhao Ping and Li Baoguo and others escorted the landlord in.

Surprisingly, there were four men in black coats and sunglasses following behind.

When the people from the Housing Management Office saw the scene, they all came out to watch the excitement. Qin Xiang held his forehead, and he didn't expect that Meng Huaiqing's bodyguards would be alarmed.

The people seen around the house also followed behind with their families, saying that they would not give people a way to live, and scolded the landlord for being a good-for-nothing, selfish, etc.

The landlord was a man in his fifties, but his hair had turned a lot whiter. He followed Zhao Ping in fear.

The bodyguards stopped the landlord's relatives outside. The landlord saw the staff and said, "Who is the buyer? Let's go through the formalities quickly."

Qin Baotian also brought his wallet when he came over. Qin Xiang handed the money over and said, "Take a few."

The staff of the Housing Management Office had already prepared the agreement. Both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints. The landlord couldn't wait to hand over the key to Qin Xiang, "The house is yours."

Qin Xiang looked at the newly produced house certificate and felt happy. In the second year of coming to the capital, the property has increased by one. There is nothing more pleasing than this.

The landlord glanced at the relatives who were still making a fuss, then looked at Qin Xiang and said, "Can you please do me a favor?"

Qin Xiang said, "You tell me."

"Can you take me to the police station? I plan to stay there before I leave. I'm afraid they will rob me of my money."

Qin Xiang was stunned and immediately agreed, "Okay."

So Zhao Ping and his men escorted the landlord to deposit the money and then to the police station. The men left a few old, weak, women and children at the door of the housing management office and stared at Qin Xiang, saying, "You robbed our house, you will be punished."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Your house? Take out the house deed and let me see. I've never seen a robber who wants to occupy someone else's house and really treats the house as his own. He must be crazy about the house."

"It's ours." The old lady's eyes widened and she wished she could tear Qin Xiang to pieces. "We won't let it go."

Qin Xiang said indifferently, "Whatever, you've seen it. I have people and money. If you dare to make trouble, I will send you all to the police station. If you don't believe me, you can try it. The police station doesn't care how old you are. If you get bumped into something by accident, you'll be in trouble."

"You! You're going too far."

The old lady couldn't say anything and then she pulled the child and cried. She sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying and making a fuss.

The staff member had obviously seen a lot of this, and whispered, "It's like this every time, the landlord is at his wits' end."

Qin Xiang nodded, "We can't stop them from crying if they want to, but if it interferes with your work, don't you go to the police station?"

The staff member was stunned at first, then shouted, "Go find the police quickly, this is a public place, and someone is causing trouble. Aren't they dancing on top of Prince Yan's tomb? Go quickly."

Seeing that the people from the Housing Management Office really went to call the police, the old lady's crying stopped, "You are bullying an old lady and a child."

Qin Xiang was speechless, "We didn't steal anyone's house, we're just telling the truth."

After that, she and Qin Baotian were ready to leave, as they had to take a thorough look at their house. Although it is well preserved, if you want to live in it in the future, you need to repair the necessary places and paint the places with whitewash.

I don't know if she was frightened by Qin Xiang, the old lady didn't bring anyone with her.

Qin Baotian frowned and said indignantly, "How can there be such relatives? They are just bullying people because there is no one at home. It's hard to lose family members, and then a bunch of relatives come out and want to take over the house."

This kind of thing actually happens in the countryside, but everyone is in the same village. If the village cadres are in charge, they won't dare to do it after being intimidated. I didn't expect that such a situation would happen under the feet of the emperor.

Qin Xiang explained, "This kind of thing is that if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate it. If the landlord really reports it to the police station or the street office, they can come to help persuade or solve it, but it's hard to say whether it can be completely solved. Sometimes it will be classified as a family matter, which makes it very difficult." Then she smiled and said, "Of course, if there were no such things, we wouldn't be able to pick up this bargain."

Qin Baotian felt distressed when he thought about the 4,500 yuan for this courtyard.

Is it expensive? It is

indeed expensive in these days. After the millennium, when the price of courtyard houses goes up, this small courtyard house can be sold at a sky-high price.

The grandfather and his wife arrived at the courtyard house and looked around the house inside and out as if they were inspecting their territory. Qin Baotian was finally happy, "Leave this to me, I can clean it up by myself."

Qin Xiang nodded when she saw his interest, "Okay, you take care of it, and buy some furniture."

She paused, fearing that her father would buy some old furniture again, and said, "Forget it, you measure the size first, and when I have time later, I'll go to the department store and ask someone to order a set."

Qin Baotian gritted his teeth, "It's really expensive."

Qin Xiang smiled, "You have to enjoy it when you should. I tell you the truth, next time there is a suitable building I will buy it. Cats are more comfortable in winter than in a courtyard house."

The courtyard house is indeed good. After renovation in later generations, it is fully equipped with radiators and other things, but it is really cold to live in a courtyard house in winter these days.

The grandfather and his wife looked around and were more and more satisfied with the house. After the inspection, they went to buy a big lock and changed it. They felt much better.

Now think about it, I have a lot of real estate, but why do I feel that it is still not enough?

The grandfather and his wife went back to the storefront and saw a person squatting at the door. When they got closer, they found that it was Wang Junsheng.

Qin Xiang's face fell immediately.

Without waiting for Qin Xiang to react, Qin Baotian rushed over and kicked Wang Junsheng over, "Get lost."
