Chapter 1290
Facing Xu Wanning's question, Senior Brother Wang was stunned for a while, and then said in confusion: "No, I am not short of money."
Senior Brother Wang is an associate researcher, and his monthly salary is about eighty yuan. Not counting various subsidies and benefits, if divided evenly, his monthly salary would definitely exceed one hundred yuan.
In the 1980s, this was already a high-income group.
Unlike later generations, scientific researchers have achieved so many achievements for the motherland, but their wages and benefits are far less than those of some 18th-tier starlets who can't even be named.
Moreover, Senior Brother Wang's biggest hobby is research. He usually doesn't care about food and clothing. As long as he has some time, he just spends time in the research room.
In addition, the unit provides food and accommodation, so he saves his monthly salary and can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year.
In the 1980s, this was already a lot of money.
Given the current housing prices in Beijing, the location of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is a bit remote. Even if this house were to be sold, the price would only be a little over 10,000 yuan at most, and it would never exceed 12,000 yuan. Senior Brother Wang’s savings include several thousand yuan. .
He doesn't have a lot of money, but he does have money to spend.
The reason why Brother Wang wanted to sell the house to Xu Wanning was because he wanted to repay Xu Wanning.
The opportunity that Xu Wanning looked down upon was a rare opportunity for Senior Brother Wang.
It's not that he thinks he can be promoted after returning from a trip to Hebei Province. The main reason is that he wants to take a look at Hebei Province. Maybe he will have an enlightenment and gain new insights.
Moreover, since Hebei Province has gone, will other provinces be far behind?
This opportunity was given to him by Xu Wanning, and he always wanted to do something to repay Xu Wanning.
Secondly, he rarely comes to this house. Watching the house gradually become like this, he also feels that it is a waste of money, so selling it to people in need would kill two birds with one stone.
This is the truest thought in Senior Brother Wang's heart.
Xu Wanning said: "Brother Wang, if you are not short of money, I do not recommend that you sell this house. Since it is a thought left to you by your elders, it should be kept well. If you are worried about the aging of the house, Too soon, sign a five-year lease contract with me. At least for five years, my friend and I can guarantee that we will protect this house."
The reason why Brother Wang wants to sell the house is to repay the favor.
Since Xu Wanning doesn't want it, he can't just buy it and sell it by force, right?
Brother Wang, a scholar and intellectual, cannot do this kind of gangster logic.
So, the two signed to rent the house at a price of 1,500 yuan per year.
After the contract was signed, Brother Wang gave the key to Xu Wanning.
"As long as the internal layout of the house remains unchanged, you can clean it up as you want without asking me."
Xu Wanning does things reliably, and Senior Brother Wang can rest assured.
"Okay, we will re-decorate it then, let Brother Wang take a look."
Taking the newly obtained key, Xu Wanning returned home happily.
Lin An got off work early today. Seeing Xu Wanning coming back with a smile on her face, she asked curiously: "Did you encounter anything happy today?"
"Didn't I say before that I wanted to open a bookstore in partnership with Qiaoqiao? But Due to various reasons, I have never been able to rent a suitable house. Today, a senior brother of mine rented his old house to me. It was suitable in every aspect, so I rented it."
"It's just that the house has been there for a long time . No one has lived in it, so it needs to be tidied up. I will draw a design drawing for the interior decoration of the bookstore first, and then find someone to renovate it. Once everything is done, the bookstore can be opened. "
As for the origin of the books in the bookstore, Xu Wanning asked her second uncle for help.
The second uncle is the director of the Education Bureau, so he can do this easily and it won't be a embarrassment to him.
Seeing Xu Wanning smiling so happily, Lin An couldn't help but laugh too.
Although, Xu Wanning is getting busier and busier now, so busy that she has very little time to accompany him every day. He can no longer remember how long it has been since he had a good conversation with Xu Wanning.
But he just likes Xu Wanning's energetic look, and what he can give her is really too little. Since he can't help, he shouldn't hold Xu Wanning back anymore, right?
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Taomanman to leave for the United States.
The first night before departure, the Xu family gathered together in the small courtyard bought by Tao Manman and Xu Maoyan.
Not only the Xu family is here, but also the Tao family.
People of this era attach great importance to their heirs.
Tao Manman was injured and was unable to have children. Even though the Xu family said they would not mind, Tao's father and Tao's mother were still worried that Tao Manman would regret it when he got older.
However, several major hospitals in China were helpless to deal with this situation. After they had silently accepted the fact that Taomanman could not have a child, they were told that Xu Wanning had contacted the most famous obstetrician and gynecologist in the United States and could do it for her. Taumanman performs surgery.
The key is that Xu Wanning did this silently. Before that, she only communicated with Tao Manman. She was worried that Tao Manman would be in a bad mood and depressed.
Except for Tao Manman, she didn't tell anyone about it. It wasn't until the United States gave an accurate answer that Xu Wanning told her family about it one after another.
Taomanman waited for several long months and was finally able to go to the United States for medical treatment. While she was excited, she was also vaguely nervous and worried.
In the bedroom, sister-in-law Chen Ye. Second sister-in-law Zhang Wenting, Tao Jingjing, Mao Min, Yuan Xin and Xu Wanning all accompanied Tao Manman.
Tao Jingjing didn't even hold the child, but kept holding Tao Manman's hand, trying to ease her sister's nervousness in this way.
"Manman, don't be afraid. After you go abroad, just follow Mao Min the whole time. She speaks foreign languages and understands some hospital procedures. She will take good care of you."
If possible, Tao Jingjing also wants to go with her. .
She is from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and already knows foreign languages. In addition, Xu Wanning helped her with foreign language lessons before. Now she can communicate directly and fluently with foreign businessmen.
However, Tao Jingjing had just given birth to a child more than a month ago. She had just given birth and her body had not recovered yet. In her current condition, she could not leave the country at all, and the child could not live without her.
Due to the nature of his work, Xu Maoyan was not allowed to go abroad. Only Mao Min was the most suitable at home.
Although Mao Min is not married to Xu Maotuan yet, and she and Tao Manman are not sisters-in-law, they have gotten along with each other and become close friends, only a little worse than biological sisters.
Once the relationship is in place, everything else is easy to talk about.
