"This house was used as a store before. I gritted my teeth and bought these houses because the school dormitory was not big and there was no room for my father, brothers and several children. Later, my father passed away, my brothers separated, and my two sons went to the countryside. We had a dormitory to live in, so we rented out the houses." Teacher Rong said as he introduced the house to Qiao Mo and the others.
"I renovated this house two years ago. I replaced the tiles and rafters, re-laid the floor, and built a bathroom. It's quite comfortable to live in."
Wu Yuanxin also noticed that the house had been meticulously renovated, so he nodded. "The biggest drawback of this house is its poor orientation. It faces east and west, so it's exposed to the sun in the summer, and the north wind in the winter is incredibly cold."
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's just that there are houses like this in the city." Teacher Rong nodded. "I bought this house because it's close to school, and my wife and I can take care of the family."
"The policies have changed a lot now, and the educated youth are about to return to the city. Why is Teacher Rong selling the house at this time?" Wu Yuanxin asked casually.
"It's a long story. Although my two sons went to the countryside, they were fortunate to work hard and not completely abandon their studies. After the college entrance examination was reinstated, they both passed the entrance exam and were admitted to university. Unfortunately, they didn't return to Donghai, but returned to Jinling. Their wives also followed them there with their children. There is a great possibility that they will develop in Jinling in the future."
"We thought about how they have families and don't even have a place to stay. Plus, we're both retired now, so we can help them when we go back. So we wanted to sell this house and buy two more houses when we go back, so that the housing problem for our two sons will be solved," said Teacher Rong with a sigh.
Before the college entrance examination, he repeatedly told them to apply to Donghai, but they refused to listen, saying that their roots were in Jinling and only by returning there would they have relatives and friends to help them. If they returned to Donghai, they would have to fight alone like their father. It was because of this bizarre reason that the two brothers returned to Jinling, which led to the current situation.
"Jinling is not bad either. Teacher Rong teaches well. The two children will definitely have a bright future." Wu Yuanxin was happy for him when he heard that his two sons were admitted to Jinling.
"Sons are no longer under their father's control when they grow up. They want to go back to Jinling. I have no choice but to try my best to help." Teacher Rong said with a wry smile.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since they have made their choice, as a father, I can only support them. Teacher Rong, how much do you want for this house?" Wu Yuanxin was quite satisfied with the house. As for the issue of the future, there was nothing he could do about it. Besides, Xiao Mo already had a house to live in, and it was very likely that this house would be used for business in the future, so he planned to inquire about the price first.
Bai Ge, upon hearing that Wu Yuanxin was already negotiating the price with someone else, asked Qiao Mo, "Xiao Mo, what do you think of this house?"
"Godmother, whether this house is good or not depends on what you plan to use it for. If it is used as a residence, it is not very good and it will not be very comfortable to live in. If it is used for other purposes, it is still worth considering." Qiao Mo said vaguely.
"I understand." Bai Ge nodded, indicating that he understood what she meant.
Wu Yuanxin looked at Bai Ge, and Bai Ge nodded at him before he continued to negotiate the price with Teacher Rong. The two of them went back and forth, and finally reached an agreement on a price of three thousand taels.
"Professor Wu, if it's convenient, I would like to complete the procedures as soon as possible." After agreeing on the price, Teacher Rong was no longer polite to Wu Yuanxin. He wanted to get the money as soon as possible and go back to buy a house for his son.
"Okay, let's go to the Housing Authority together this afternoon to handle the formalities." Wu Yuanxin is also a decisive person. Now that he has made the decision, he will not procrastinate any longer.
"Then it's settled. We'll meet at the Housing Authority at 3 p.m. sharp." Teacher Rong also nodded.
After the house issue was settled, Wu Yuanxin was about to take his wife and children home. At this time, Chen Jiao and another tenant stopped them.
"Professor Wu, after you bought this house, will you rent it out in the future?" Chen Jiao asked Wu Yuanxin with a smile.
