Chapter 291 Buying a House
"In a few days, let's spend a few days here in the capital. By the way, we want to buy two houses in the capital."
"Buying a house in the capital. The building you are living in now is so beautifully decorated and you have only lived there for a few days. Are you going to buy a house in the capital again? The winter is very cold in the north. Are you used to buying a house there?"
When she heard that Lin Shu wanted to buy a house in the capital, Liu Xiaoe's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Lin Shu was tired of living in the provincial capital and wanted to move to the capital.
Lin Shu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, "Mom, houses in the capital are cheap now. We buy a house just for investment. We don't want to move here for a long time."
"Investment? In addition to being used for living, can a house be used for investment?"
Forgive Liu Xiao'e, an old lady from the countryside, for not having much knowledge. In her opinion, a house will become dilapidated if no one lives in it, and buying it in the capital without living in it is a waste.
However, Gu Youhui had different ideas from her. As soon as he heard about the investment, he loudly asked beside him: "Auntie, what are the prospects of buying a house in the capital?"
Liu Xiao'e quickly handed the phone to Gu Youhui.
"Very good, Youhui, do you want to buy a house and wait for the value to rise?"
Lin Shu's question came over the phone, and Gu Youhui felt a little hesitant.
The hesitation is not that he is worried about the room for appreciation of the house, but that the house price is too expensive and he does not have enough existing funds.
"Auntie, what is the current price of housing prices in the capital?"
"I'm not sure. Your uncle went to inquire. I'll ask when he comes back."
"Okay, I will stay at the hotel today and wait for my uncle to call me back when he comes back."
After Lin Shu hung up the phone, she wanted to go out for a walk, but was worried that she couldn't take care of two children by herself. In the end, she decided to stay in the hotel and have a good rest.
Gu Jiu came back in the evening.
"What do you have in your hand?"
"Tanghuoshao, I visited my friend today, this is his gift in return."
Gu Jiu put the paper bag in his hand on the table.
When the two children saw Gu Jiu coming back, they hurriedly climbed off the sofa and wanted to pounce on Gu Jiu.
Especially the second treasure, whose father didn’t want it anymore, was immediately attracted by the fragrance in the air and focused on the paper bag on the table.
Lin Shu smelled the fragrance, found a plate, took some sugar, burned it, put it on the plate, and asked the brother and sister to take one each.
"I smell the fragrance of osmanthus." Lin Shu took a sip and it tasted very good. "Is this osmanthus honey or sugar osmanthus?"
"It's sugar osmanthus."
Gu Jiu used to eat it often when he was a child and knew how to make sugar fire roast.
“It’s filled with sauce made with sesame peanut 28 sauce, candied osmanthus, brown sugar, white sugar, sesame oil, etc. The taste is very authentic.”
Lin Shu had heard of Tang Huo Shao in his previous life, but it was difficult to buy this kind of truly handmade Tang Huo Shao in later generations. Most of them were made by machines. To be considered real Tang Huo Shao, it should be more appropriately called Brown Sugar Baked Dough Steamed Buns.
Children like sweets. It can be seen from the fact that Dabao stared at the plate on the table greedily after eating one. This sugar-fired roast tastes good.
"It tastes good. Where did you buy this sugar-fired roast? We will bring more when we go back this time. We will add a portion of sugar-fired roast as a gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Time flies so fast, and it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival again.
The temperature difference between morning and evening in the capital is a bit big.
When a family of four went out to eat in the evening, both children put on coats.
"How did you find out about the house today?"
"I visited several streets, some were single rooms, and I looked at four or five sets of courtyards. I selected three well-maintained courtyards, one for the first and second for the second, with prices ranging from 8,000 to 30,000."
After eating at the hotel, the couple took a slow walk with their children in their arms and walked back to the hotel. "The price is not expensive, but it is not easy for you to choose three houses in one day. At first, I thought that housing in the city was tight at this time and no one was willing to sell their houses."
Gu Jiu smiled faintly and said: "In such a big city, there are always people who want to sell their houses. Some people sell their current homes because their work units have allocated houses. In their view, money is more important, and they are safe. We will go as a family of four to have a look tomorrow. If we are satisfied, we can make a decision tomorrow.”
"Okay."
Lin Shu remembered what Gu Youhui told us during the day when he called us back, "When we called back during the day, Gu Youhui knew that we wanted to buy a house in the capital. He was also a little interested and asked us what the price of a house in the capital was."
"I'll give him a call when I get back later."
"He will stay at the hotel today. You can just call his hotel directly." Lin Shu did not forget to remind him.
Back at the hotel, the two of them helped the two children wash their faces and feet, and settled them down. Only then did Gu Jiu have time to sit down and call Gu Youhui back.
Gu Youhui was excited when he learned on the phone that there were eight thousand houses in the capital.
"Uncle, what does the eight thousand house look like? If possible, I would like to buy one."
"It's a very run-down courtyard. The advantage is that it's located close to the imperial city."

The yard was too dilapidated, and Gu Jiu looked down upon this yard when he had a choice.
Gu Youhui made a decision directly: "It doesn't matter if it's dilapidated. The worst thing is that it needs to be demolished and rebuilt. What I care about is that the location is close to the center of the city. Uncle, I want this small courtyard. Do you have enough money? If not, I will go to the post and telecommunications office to transfer the money tomorrow. .”
In his heart, it was right to follow his uncle and aunt.
If he didn't believe in them, he wouldn't have been able to grow from a boy who accomplished nothing to the owner of several stores now.
Is this considered a small asset?
"If you really want it, I can buy it for you first. You don't have to remit the money, which is a waste of handling fees. You can give it to me when we get back."
At this time, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau was not yet called a post office, and was responsible for the business of remittances from other places.
Moreover, remittances to other places are subject to handling fees.
Lin Shu knew that in the early 1990s, when he was working in a different place and wanted to send money to his family, he always remitted money from the post and telecommunications office.
Lin Shu went to see the house the next day and was very satisfied.
Once I entered the small courtyard, a set was very dilapidated and priced at 8,000 yuan.
There is a small courtyard with a second entrance. It is a building from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The doors and windows are a bit old. The sound of pushing the door and closing it is loud. The leaves of a jujube tree in the yard have turned yellow. The landlord offers a price of 22,000 yuan.
The other set is also a small courtyard with a second entrance, which is better maintained. The doors and windows are painted regularly. The yard area is also larger, and there is a backyard.
The backyard can be planted, a chicken coop, a duck coop, and a utility room can be built. This set costs 30,000.
Lin Shu was very satisfied with the two houses, but he didn't show it on his face. He bargained with the landlord, and in the end the total price of the three houses was only a thousand less.
Sixty thousand became fifty-nine thousand.
Gu Jiu took it out without blinking an eye, and went through the transfer and other procedures with several landlords that day.
When the landlords got the money, they secretly lamented that the offer was too low.
They felt that Gu Jiu's background was not low. If he were an ordinary person, he could afford nearly 60,000 yuan at a time.
Lin Shu held the freshly issued real estate certificate with a crooked look on his face: "It's all thanks to my friends that the house purchase went so smoothly this time. Now that the house is ready, would you like to invite your friend out for dinner tonight?"
"No, I already treated him to a meal yesterday. I have something to worry about. Let's go back and have a good rest today. I will take you around the capital tomorrow."
