[Chapter 470 Chapter 469 Wu Yulan's New Home]
Shen Yuyao is no longer the same person she was fifteen years ago when she first came here. With just a little guidance from Cheng Liyan, she immediately understood where the biggest trouble in this matter lies.
It is not a question of whether they can come up with the money, but how to come up with the money reasonably.
At this moment, Shen Yuyao hesitated and even thought of giving up.
But she was a little unwilling.
Mainly because of the experiences in recent years, Shen Yuyao has become increasingly aware that it is extremely difficult to find a suitable house!
Since you are planning to buy a house for your children, it must be fair and reasonable.
No matter whether the courtyard house is left to Xiaoyi or Nanxi in the future, the other child's house cannot be worse than that one.
But if you want to buy a house similar to that one in Beijing, it would be almost impossible.
I really can't find it.
They have been looking for it for so many years and asked many friends to look for it, but they have never seen it again.
This kind of thing is really hard to come by.
There are too few good houses in private hands today, and even fewer people willing to sell them.
This is apparently the case with this house as well.
Whether it was information obtained from Wu Yulan or my aunt, the scarcity of houses in Hai City was no less than that in Beijing.
Likewise, good houses are hard to come by.
Similar to this, the level of development in Hai City is not inferior to that of the capital.
From any perspective, the value of buying a house like that in Haishi is almost the same as that of a siheyuan.
Although the price of the courtyard house was low when it was first purchased, things cannot be compared in this way.
The later investment in the Siheyuan was also an astronomical figure.
Without the help of the old emperor, Shen Yuyao doubted that with her and Cheng Liyan's abilities, the house might not even be built now.
Those good woods are really hard to find!
"Let's take a look at the house first and then decide after we see it."
When an idea popped up in her mind, Shen Yuyao silently made up her mind.
Cheng Liyan is very self-aware.
He knew that his income was not enough to support this expenditure.
No matter which child the house is bought for, the money used is that of the daughter-in-law.
Seeing that his wife had made up her mind, he stopped trying to persuade her.
Anyway, he'll be there to cover you no matter what.
Even if the daughter-in-law wants to indulge herself, so what?
Because there was a group discussion in the evening, Cheng Liyan returned to his room after dinner.
Shen Yuyao called Wu Yulan and made an appointment with her to meet tomorrow before going back to her room to rest.
The four children all had different experiences today and they were very excited.
A few people chattered together for a long time, and finally Shen Yuyao couldn't stand it anymore and went over to separate them. Then they went back to their rooms to rest with a reluctant heart.
Because they slept late the night before, they got up a little late the next morning.
Shen Yuyao looked at the time and knew that the meeting had already started, so she simply took her four children to the guesthouse cafeteria for breakfast.
The main reason is that Mingchen and Mingyue have never been to a restaurant in this kind of hotel, so we bring them here to try something new.
There were indeed not many people in the guesthouse cafeteria at this time, but breakfast time had not yet passed, so people could still order food.
Shen Yuyao ordered Haishi's special breakfast for the little ones, including salty soy milk, rice balls, and pan-fried steamed buns.
I have to say, the chefs at the military district guesthouse are quite skilled. At least these breakfasts taste quite good.
Several children actually finished eating everything on the table and still looked like they were still not satisfied.
"Don't eat too much. Save some room for lunch."
The little ones are going to play with Pingping today, and Shen Yuyao has already given the money to Xiaoyi early, which naturally includes the money for lunch.
Based on Shen Yuyao's understanding of her own children, they will definitely not let it go unnoticed.
Shen Yuyao called the driver and first sent the children to meet her aunt's children, and then asked him to take her to the entrance of the alley where Wu Yulan lived.
When she arrived, Wu Yulan had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Oh, it's too hot. Let's drink a bottle of soda to cool down." Wu Yulan had already bought two bottles of orange soda, and she handed one to Shen Yuyao as soon as she saw her.
Shen Yuyao did not refuse, and the two of them stood on the side of the road and finished their soda.
After drinking a bottle of ice-cold soda, I felt refreshed.
The house where Wu Yulan lives is located in the most prosperous area of Hai City and is a typical Shikumen building.
To enter her house, you first have to pass through a stone archway.
Wu Yulan pointed at the words on the stone archway and said proudly: "My building was built in 1930. It is a historic building."
Shen Yuyao followed Wu Yulan through the archway and entered a very narrow alley.
The alley was lined with small red brick buildings, some three or four stories high, some two or three stories low.
But each building was very old and very close to each other. The originally narrow road was also lined with many of the residents’ belongings, making it even narrower. It was difficult for two people to pass by at the same time.
But Wu Yulan was obviously very familiar with everything here.
She led Shen Yuyao around and around, and soon they arrived in front of a house closer to the inside.
She pushed open the wooden door and motioned Shen Yuyao to follow her in.
The building looked like an ordinary residential building from the outside, but Shen Yuyao didn't expect it to be a completely different world once inside.
After entering the door, there is a small patio. On one side of the patio is a large kitchen with seven or eight stoves built in it. It can be seen that there should be one stove for each family.
It was not cooking time and no one was there.
Just at the door of a room near the gate, there was an old lady sitting on a small wooden chair, wearing glasses and reading a newspaper.
Seeing Wu Yulan come in, she greeted her enthusiastically, but unfortunately Shen Yuyao couldn't understand a word she said.
Shen Yuyao smiled as she watched Wu Yulan and the old lady greet each other. They continued walking until they finished talking.
I walked up the wooden stairs against the wall of the kitchen and reached the third floor, and finally arrived at Wu Yulan's home.
There are three households on this staircase, and Wu Yulan's home is the one closest to the stairs.
Wu Yulan took out the key and opened the door, then said to Shen Yuyao, "Come in quickly and take a look at our new home."
