Chapter 323: Looking Forward
The young man from the Han family is called Han Jingyi, the son of the third son of the Han family, and the young man from the Xiao family is called Xiao Rui, the son of the eldest son of the Xiao family.
They had brought some spare clothes with them and all they needed was a room to sleep in, so there was no need for any special treatment.
Su Shuoci and his wife returned to the room. After washing up, Gu Jiaojiao wanted to go to bed early as she had been tormented by the man for several days in a row.
While blowing her hair, she said, "Su Shuoci, let's go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow."
"Okay, let's finish breakfast early and go look at houses. If we find a suitable house, we'll buy it, and then ask Geng Haozhi to help find someone to do some simple decoration."
This was Su Shuoci's first time in the imperial capital, so he was curious about everything here.
He was a person who was good at hiding his emotions. Others didn't see it, but Gu Jiaojiao knew it. "Don't you need me to join you?"
"Just pick a house and leave the decoration to me. Mr. Han has asked you to go to their compound at noon tomorrow. We will act separately."
Su Shuoci's voice carried the lazy and leisurely feeling of someone relaxing after taking a bath, and he looked particularly relaxed.
The voice was so pleasant that Gu Jiaojiao's ears couldn't help but tremble along with it.
But thinking that there were still many things to do tomorrow, she could only say, "I'll listen to you. Go to bed early."
Su Shuoci was in good spirits. Actually, he didn't want to go to bed so early, but he knew that this was not their home, so he suppressed other thoughts.
The next day, after breakfast.
Father Gu asked his son-in-law, "Shuo Ci, aren't you and Jiao Jiao going to look at houses near the school? Why don't you take my car and go with me?"
He has been appointed director and professor of the Chinese Department of Imperial Capital University, and the school has provided him with a car.
Although Mr. Gu has retired, the school is short of teachers, so he is also working in the school. He will retire completely after two years when there are enough teachers.
Mr. Gu and his father had won numerous trophies and honors many years ago in the empire's top institution of learning.
More than a decade ago, no professor would hold such a high position at such a young age as Gu's father.
Not only that, Mr. Gu enjoyed a high prestige in the Imperial Capital University thirty years ago.
Under the leadership of their generation, the history of Imperial Capital University has become more and more glorious and beautiful.
Before Su Shuoci could speak, Xiao Jingyi said, "Uncle Gu, uncle and aunt should take our car."
"Dad, if you're in a hurry, you can go first. Brother Shuoci and I will take their car. After all, we have to go to several places to look at houses."
"Then I'll leave first. If you don't see a suitable house, you can live here. This will always be your home."
"Thank you, father-in-law. My friend has already found a few places for us. We are just waiting for Jiaojiao and I to make the final decision."
Su Shuoci immediately said that they would not live here. They didn’t dare to eat meat last night. How could they live here for a long time?
Gu Jiaojiao thought that school district housing was hard to buy, but she didn’t know that these days, people still had no concept of buying school district housing.
Tall and dense sycamore trees flashed by on both sides of the road in front of the university, and through the treetops, rows of red brick buildings were hidden beside the tree-lined avenue.
These red brick buildings with a strong sense of age are all newly built. If you walk straight ahead you will reach the Imperial Capital University.
The stone tablet at the gate reads: "The Fu River surges, and it strives for self-improvement. The Shu land is Kun, and its virtue carries all things."
Gu Jiaojiao remembered it deeply, and even if she looked back on it in the future, it seemed to be telling her story silently.
The spirit of struggle and pursuit of dreams passed down from this passionate period still shines brightly.
Especially a few kilometers away from the school, there are those independent small villas where talented men and beautiful women once lived.
Although the beauty had passed away long ago, the talented man was still alive. Geng Haozhi helped Gu Jiaojiao choose a place to live, one of which was an independent villa very close to him.
As expected, talented men and beautiful women know how to enjoy life the most. The living environment is very good, and Gu Jiaojiao fell in love with an independent villa at first sight.
The owner of the villa went abroad with his family in June, and Gu Jiaojiao decided to buy it.
She thought that they only needed to renovate their master bedroom and study, and the layout of the other rooms did not need to be changed.
Especially in the yard, the flowers and plants are still alive tenaciously, which makes Gu Jiaojiao like them even more.
"Jiaojiao, put my wheelchair into the space, and you go to see Mr. Han. I will tell Geng Haozhi that I can walk freely now."
"Just leave it in the room. Although few people here know you, what if my dad comes looking for you?"
"Jiaojiao is really thoughtful. Xia Qiuming quietly asked me yesterday when I would have the surgery. I told him that I had already done the surgery and was recovering. I wanted to give my father-in-law and his family a surprise."
"You, that's a good thing to say. Why didn't he ask me?" Gu Jiaojiao was also helpless.
She could only let Su Shuoci down, there was nothing she could do! It had only been twelve days since she returned from the battlefield, and Su Shuoci was already walking briskly. Although it was true, no one would believe it!
How to explain? Should she expose her spiritual spring space? That was impossible, so Su Shuoci could only pretend to be lame for another three months.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Jiaojiao told Su Shuoci to be careful, and then took Han Jingyi's car to the compound to find Mr. Han and Mr. Xiao.
After Xiao Rui showed his ID to the guard at the compound's sentry box, the car was allowed to pass.
This compound is so much larger than the one in Qingcheng that even Grandpa Gu and his family cannot live in it.
It can be seen what kind of status the person living here has. Gu Jiaojiao looked out through the window.
You can see people walking in groups of three or four, old people playing chess around a round table on the roadside, and children running around playing on the road.
Within the compound, there is a place specifically for retired cadres to gather and have fun, with various simple entertainment facilities.
There are basketball courts, ping-pong tables, badminton courts, and various long and short chairs under the big trees for people to chat and rest.
There are three or four stone tables with chess boards carved on them for the elderly to play chess and entertain themselves.
Although these entertainment facilities are very simple, they provide a place for a group of elderly people who have devoted their lives to serving the country and the people and have retired to relax and enjoy themselves.
Walking along the compound, all you see is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere of life.
No matter whether it was anyone inside, or any flower, grass, or building, Gu Jiaojiao was filled with awe.
The car drove in the courtyard for a full forty minutes before arriving at the gates of the Xiao and Han families' courtyards.
There were several old men playing chess under the big tree, and Old Han was looking forward to it from time to time.
When he saw his grandson's rook, he dropped his chess piece and shouted, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, you're here."
"Hello, Mr. Han, and hello to all the old gentlemen." Gu Jiaojiao got out of the car and greeted everyone gracefully.
"Brother Han, which granddaughter-in-law of yours is this fairy-like girl?"
"Haha... Jiaojiao is not my granddaughter-in-law. She is the disciple of Divine Doctor Su Gu."
Mr. Han wanted to tell these old guys that Gu Jiaojiao was his adopted sister and also the genius doctor Su Gu.
But he was afraid that these old guys would not believe it, which would make it look bad! When the old men learned that she was the disciple of Dr. Su Gu, they were very enthusiastic to get close to Gu Jiaojiao.
