Chapter 345 About Buying a House
The dormitory is an eight-person room with bunk beds. The facilities are somewhat old. There is a washroom and toilet on both sides of the corridor on each floor.
Since Gu Mingyue and the others arrived early, they were the only ones in the dormitory.
Each bed has a name on it. Lu Xue said with emotion, "This is good. We don't have to argue over the choice of upper or lower bunks. You remember when we had a fight over a position?"
Gu Mingyue recalled the incident from her memory. At that time, the two lower bunks near the window were recognized as the best seats in the dormitory. Everyone wanted them...
Then he said, "I remember that it was Xu Xiwen who later proposed to decide by drawing lots, and that's when everyone gave up."
Lu Xue couldn't help laughing when she thought of the scene, so when she saw that Xingfu was on the upper bunk by the window, she said regretfully, "It would be better if it was on the lower bunk."
Gu Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she turned around and comforted him, "It's okay, you're very clean, aren't you? If someone passes by the lower bunk, anyone will sit there, and if you don't let them sit, you'll be called petty. You don't have to worry about this for the upper bunk. If you want more privacy, hang a curtain, and you'll have your own space. I remember I brought you a piece of cloth, do you want to put it on now..."
Xingfu shook her head, "Aunt, don't worry, wait until everyone in the dormitory is here. If no one wants to press it, I won't do it yet. If we don't get along well, I can still fix it."
Gu Mingyue said casually, "That's fine. Just don't get bullied. Otherwise, when I write to Guangxin next time, she will definitely laugh at you."
Xingfu stuck out her tongue and said mischievously, "No way. She's just anxious that she can't come over to help me vent my anger. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for a long time. I really miss her."
Gu Mingyue sighed and said, "Who wouldn't want to? When she was around, I was always worried about her future and tried my best to help her find a way out. When she became successful, I didn't see her all day and I didn't know whether she had gained weight or lost weight..."
While chatting, I thought about cleaning the house and went to the next door to get some water to cool it down.
Gu Mingyue decisively gave up, came back empty-handed and said, "Forget it, let's clean together when everyone arrives. This way we can not only get to know each other as quickly as possible, but also enhance our relationship."
Lu Xue teased, "Are you sure you don't want to move because the water is too cold?"
"That must be part of the reason." Gu Mingyue said righteously, "But I also have foresight. I personally think that in collective life, we can't be too diligent, otherwise we will easily become everyone's babysitter. We can't do nothing, otherwise we may be isolated. As for us, we should neither give others a chance to talk about us nor do more. It's okay to do it occasionally. It's so cold, so we should take a break. Okay, Xingfu, don't put out your quilt cover and bed sheet for now to avoid dust."
Lu Xue was speechless and said, "So you came here just to talk?"
Gu Mingyue retorted, "How can that be possible? My main purpose is to accompany you. Otherwise, they will be busy with their own things in the future. If I do more now, it's not for Xingfu, but to help the whole dormitory. Even though everyone is not here, who should I show my performance to? I won't do useless work!"
Lu Xue gave a thumbs up. "When it comes to heresy, you are this one. Aren't you afraid of corrupting good children?"
Gu Mingyue said confidently, "Of course not. I know the character of our children. If they change so easily, I will be the first one to deal with them. If you don't believe me, ask Xingfu. When we were little, did I treat her to 'Stir-fried Pork with Bamboo Shoots'?"
Xingfu immediately blushed and shouted, "Aunt, didn't we agree not to mention this?"
Gu Mingyue quickly covered her mouth and said, "Oh, sorry, sorry, I blundered. Let's start over..."
Lu Xue sighed weakly, "Come on, don't do it again. Xingfu and Guanglei have already dealt with everything. We can leave now."
Gu Mingyue said, "Let's go shopping first. There are still three days before school starts. We should hurry up on the last day we move in. Lock the cabinet and take the valuables with you."
The few of them then went to eat roast duck and took a walk around the Foreign Trade Company.
Fortunately, Lu Xue brought foreign exchange coupons, so she was able to buy the camera she wanted, otherwise Gu Mingyue would have really ignored this.
In the afternoon, the group went to look at houses non-stop. Well, they were basically courtyard houses with many households living in them.
Most homeowners sell because their tenants are difficult to deal with.
If eyes could kill, when Gu Mingyue and the others were looking at the house, they would have been cut into pieces, which shows how arrogant their attitude was.
After walking around, I was so tired and didn’t meet anyone suitable, so I can only make an appointment next time.
I noticed a cafe nearby, so I went in to order something, mainly to find a quiet place to rest.
Gu Mingyue and Lu Xue are okay. They don’t like to drink much, but they don’t mind having a sip occasionally.
Xingfu and Guanglei didn't like the medicinal soup-like drink very much, so I ordered a glass of juice for them.
Lu Xue pounded her sore calf and chatted with Gu Mingyue, "If I buy the yard, I can allow those people to continue living there, but raise the rent. Will they agree?"
"How would I know? I'm afraid that if you can't drive them away now, there will be more trouble in the future. To put it more seriously, if the other party accidentally finds out about the Shen family's background, it will not look good. Anyway, I don't recommend it. If you like it, think of a permanent solution before buying it."
Lu Xue was tangled up and said, "I can't say I like them very much, but I think they are all pretty much the same. To be honest, I've seen enough of them in just half a day. Xingfu, how about you?"
"I want a smaller one. I don't have enough money for that size."
Gu Mingyue said sarcastically, "Look at them, they are determined in their goals."
Lu Xue curled her lips childishly. "You only know how to blame me. What about you? You said that houses will definitely appreciate in value in the future, so why don't you buy one?"
Gu Mingyue thought to herself that she would not buy it in Beijing. Even a rock falling from the sky could hit a section chief. She, a small fry, would not dare to rush here to buy garlic.
Lu Xue has the Shen family.
As for Happiness, she is definitely not too bad based on her academic qualifications, not to mention her IQ and the attention her mentor gives her, making her a definitely high-end talent.
On a grander scale, she might develop into a scientist. Presumably, by then, she would be a protected person in Beijing, and no one would dare to covet her if she bought a house there.
Gu Mingyue herself is different. She has made up her mind that if she wants to buy something, she will go to Mingzhu.
She didn't buy the house to live in it, but just to wait for the demolition to bring in cash, which is a very profitable and foolproof deal.
"I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong" was once a joke that made many Mingzhu people regret it.
In her previous life, she had a client who started his business by buying a house in Pudong.
Gu Mingyue calculated the money he had and found that it was enough to buy a piece of land there. He would go and check out the situation after a while and make preparations in advance.
He collected his thoughts and realized that he certainly couldn't say that openly, nor did he encourage Lu Xue and the others to go to Mingzhu. Their families were different, so naturally what they wanted were different.
So he said vaguely, "You know me. I never like to go out unless it's necessary. If I buy a house here, I still need you to help take care of it. It's better to buy one in Harbin..."
