Chapter 207
Zhang Chaoyang had limited vacation time, so he stayed at home for a few days and then returned to the army.
Xu Di’s school starts on March 1st, and there are still more than ten days left.
"Xiao Di, there's news about the house. Let's go check it out later."
"Really, that's great. I was thinking, if it doesn't work out, I'll just run back and forth between school and home first."
"That's not realistic. It's too far. It would take two train trips."
Grandma Qian knew that Xiaodi was reluctant to leave her children. The older one was five years old and the younger one was three years old.
"But we are lucky."
"Well, I hope the house is suitable." Grandma Qian also felt that they were lucky. Ever since Xiaodi got married, good things had been happening in the family.
Xu Di packed water bottles for the children, dressed them, and the three adults and three children went out together.
Their group, young and old, were well taken care of along the way.
"Aunt Qian, here."
"Wu Zhong, thank you for your help. This is my granddaughter-in-law, Xu Di.
Xiaodi, this is grandma’s friend’s son, you can call him Uncle Wu. ”
"Hello Uncle Wu, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Di didn’t know which friend of his grandmother’s son this was. Xu Di felt that his grandmother was very mysterious.
She usually looks like an ordinary old lady. Once something happens, grandma's aura changes. She becomes a bit like the big boss in movies and TV dramas, with great energy.
"It's not hard. You are amazing. You were admitted to one of the best universities in the country. It's enviable."
"Luckily, I like reading and never threw away my textbooks."
Xu Di knew that she was not a particularly smart person. The reason she was admitted to Peking University was because she knew the development process of history and made preparations in advance.
The college entrance examination had been suspended for ten years. From the notification of resumption of the college entrance examination to actually sitting in the examination room, the time was too tight.
Many people couldn't find their learning materials before they had time to react.
If she had taken the college entrance examination normally like in her previous life, she would not have been able to get into the University of Tokyo.
"Aunt Qian, let's go this way.
The house is not far from Peking University, about ten minutes' walk. The house belongs to an old professor from Peking University.
In the past ten years, I have been sent to the countryside and have suffered a lot, and my health is not very good.
The old professor was rehabilitated last year, and all the procedures were completed recently. The house, property and salary have all been returned.
His son was abroad and when he learned that the old professor had been rehabilitated, he wanted to bring his father over to reunite with him. ”
Wu Zhong introduced the homeowner's situation and told him that there was nothing wrong with the house.
“Alas, it’s not easy.”
Grandma Qian felt it was a pity that ten years of time had been wasted and that her skills had nowhere to be utilized.
The group was talking as they walked, with three children skipping and bouncing in front of them. Soon, they arrived.
"Aunt Qian, this is it. I'll knock on the door. Professor Su should be home."
Wu Zhong said this and went forward to knock on the door.
After a while, footsteps were heard, and then the door was opened.
"Professor Su, I'll bring someone to look at the house."
"Come in, the main part of the house is fine, it's just a bit messy from being smashed."
The pity and distress in Professor Su's tone were obvious.
Xu Di knew that at this time, most of the houses of the transferred personnel were occupied by others.
Many courtyard houses are now occupied by a lot of people, and the good courtyards have been destroyed and turned into a mess.
Xu Di and the others followed Professor Su into the yard, which was a one-way entrance.
The main house, the wing rooms, the gatehouse, together there are quite a lot of rooms. The yard is very large, paved with bluestone, and there is still some snow that has not melted.
"This courtyard has seven main rooms, with side rooms on the left and right. There are four side rooms on the east and west sides, also with side rooms. There are also six gatehouses on the west side of the front gate.
The house also has a backyard, a well, and a barn.
This house has a history of more than a hundred years. It was built by our ancestors themselves, using only high-quality materials.
In the past ten years, apart from the initial situation when a group of people broke into the house like crazy, smashed things and damaged some things, no one has lived in the house since then.
I looked everywhere, and there was no sign of human life. Alas, it’s a pity that the original furniture has been damaged a lot, is incomplete, and has lost its value. ”
There was regret, reluctance, and determination in Professor Su's eyes.
Xu Di looked around and found that many of the furniture in the main room were missing parts and were damaged.
But as Professor Su said, the main body of the house was not damaged, the walls and windows are intact.
Xu Di went around to the backyard and found a warehouse next to the wall.
There is a well not far from the warehouse. There is also a windlass on top to pump water up.
In the northeast corner of the backyard, there is a small house, which should be a toilet. I don’t know if it can be used.
There is only a row of stone slabs under the eaves in the backyard, and there are no stone slabs anywhere else.
Xu Di thought that in the future, he could reclaim the backyard, plant vegetables, and raise chickens for his own consumption.
Xu Di took a look around and was quite satisfied, but he didn't know what the price would be.
Looking at the size of the yard, the price can’t be too low.
Back in the front yard, Xu Di and his grandmother looked at each other, and both were quite satisfied.
“Professor Su, we like the house very much. The yard is large and is good for children to play.
Take a look at the price. ”
Grandma Qian asked about the price directly, and if she was satisfied and the price was right, she would buy it without bargaining.
The main thing is that Professor Su doesn't seem like the kind of person who would ask for an exorbitant price.
“It’s good that you like it, and I also hope that it can fall into the hands of the right person and be treated well.
I don't know what the current housing prices are like, but I want 20,000 yuan for this yard.
If you think the price is right, we'll go and handle the procedures tomorrow.
This house has complete paperwork, independent property rights, and no complications. ”
After Professor Su finished speaking, he didn't look at Xu Di and the others, but just stared at the carvings on the roof.
"Okay, this yard is worth it, and we will live well in it and won't destroy it."
Grandma Qian agreed, and Xu Di did not object. She did not understand the market situation, but she knew that people in later generations said that houses in the 1970s and 1980s were very cheap, at a bargain price.
"Okay, tomorrow, let's go to Xiao Wu's workplace to handle the formalities."
"Okay, tomorrow morning, we'll come over to handle the formalities."
After Grandma Qian finished speaking, she nodded slightly at Professor Su and walked out.
Xu Di also followed out with the child.
After a while, Wu Zhong also came out.
"Aunt Qian, bring the money tomorrow and come to the Housing Management Office to find me. It's not far from here."
Wu Zhong pointed in a direction and Xu Di looked over. It was really not far away.
Both sides said goodbye politely, and Xu Di and the others prepared to take a bus home.
When they got home, Grandma Qian called Xu Di over.
"Xiao Di, here is 10,000 yuan, take it, go and complete the formalities tomorrow, and the house will be in your name.
You and Chaoyang are husband and wife, and due to his professional background, it is not appropriate for him to have any property under his name. ”
“Grandma, we have money, you don’t need to take any, keep your money.
You gave a lot when we got married. ”
Xu Di waved her hands repeatedly. She was embarrassed to ask her grandmother for money.
"Just take it if I tell you to. My money will belong to you and Chaoyang in the future.
Don't feel any burden. I told you, I have a shallow relationship with my son and don't have much mother-son affection with him.
Among the four grandchildren, except Chaoyang, the others are just for face.
I have experienced so much that I don't care much about those so-called traditional ideas.
It would be more accurate to say that Chaoyang brought my life to life rather than that I raised him.
And now, you and the children let me experience the joy of having grandchildren.
Therefore, everything I have will be yours from now on. ”
Grandma Qian put the money in Xu Di's hand, ten thousand yuan, wrapped in brown paper, a big package.
"Grandma, it's great to have you!"
Xu Di smiled. She not only got money but also love from her grandmother.
The next day, Xu Di took the money and went to the Housing Management Office, where Professor Su was already there.
"Professor Su, I'm sorry I'm late."
"No, I came too early."
Professor Su was still cold and indifferent, but there was no hostility in his tone.
With Uncle Wu around, the formalities were completed quickly and Xu Di got a property certificate with her name on it.
"Here is the key. From now on, the house belongs to you. Treat it well."
"I will. If you have the chance, you are welcome to come back and watch it anytime."
Professor Su said nothing and turned and left.
"Professor Su will not return to the courtyard, so you can go and collect the house yourself."
Wu Zhong had work to do and couldn't accompany us.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu!"
Xu Di thanked him, left the housing authority and went to look at the house.
