Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 261 Buying a House

"What do you think? Don't you have enough money? If not, I have more."

As Gu Yizhou said this, he wanted to take something out of his body.

Lin Qingyan stopped him and signaled him not to be anxious.

"I have enough money to buy a house, but I'm considering whether to buy both for myself or give one to Ye Yi, Wang Lanlan and the others."

After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she turned and looked at Ye Yi.

"Ye Yi, do you want to buy a house?"

Ye Yi was daydreaming at this time. Suddenly she heard Lin Qingyan asking her and looked up, a little confused.

"Buy a house? I buy a house? I don't have money."

Ye Yi shook her head, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but look at the courtyard with envy flashing in her eyes.

"Ye Yi, do you want to buy this house with a courtyard? We can stay in Beijing together and be neighbors. Try to buy one now while the price of houses is not high."

Ye Yi was confused and excited. She looked up at Lin Qingyan. Seeing her serious expression, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ye Yi has always been very frugal. She usually lives frugally and would definitely save money if she can avoid spending it.

She followed Lin Qingyan and picked wild ginseng and ganoderma lucidum in the mountains, and shared a thousand yuan. This was her largest income at the time, and she had been saving it without using it.

Later, he went out with Wang Lanlan, and at the end of the year, he had about three or four thousand yuan in his hands.

But it was still a long way from the 6000-yuan house. Lin Qingyan had already helped her a lot, and she had to borrow money from her if she couldn't buy a house.

So he shook his head and refused.

"You buy the house. I don't have enough money and the difference is too big, so I won't buy it for now."

"How much money do you have now? I think you can buy the yard with the entrance. You can change to a bigger one when you have money in the future. If you don't have enough money now, I can lend it to you." Lin Qingyan persuaded Ye Yi.

Ye Yi firmly suppressed her urge to buy a house, but that required her to work hard on her own and not rely on Lin Qingyan's help. She was afraid that she would get used to Lin Qingyan's help and would no longer work hard.

"I won't buy it this time. I'll wait for Wang Lanlan to come over. Then if there's something suitable, I'll buy it with Wang Lanlan."

Seeing that she sincerely refused, Lin Qingyan did not force her.

Then he turned to Gu Yizhou and said:

"If I buy both houses, there won't be any problems, right?"

"No, their family relationship is very clear. If they decide to buy it, we will go to the housing management office to check again to make sure there are no disputes before transferring the ownership."

When the homeowner found out that they bought both houses together, he felt relieved, but also a little regretful. Looking at the house behind him, he felt a little sad.

However, he did not feel sad for long. After calming down, he took a few people to the housing management office nearby.

Nowadays, there are very few people buying and selling houses. Buying and selling are not allowed openly, but transfer of ownership is allowed, which is a disguised form of buying and selling.

Most people choose to rent a house. Especially after the policy was relaxed, many educated youth who had been sent down to the countryside returned to the city, but many of them had no houses to live in. Therefore, the Housing Management Office became the busiest department at this time.

There were many people coming and going to rent the house, and the landlord's three-story house was forcibly rented out.

The landlord and Lin Qingyan walked up to a staff member and said to him with a smile:

"Hello, comrade. We are here to handle the transfer of ownership."

"Transfer? Why transfer?"

"We are moving our family out of Beijing, so we will transfer the house to my distant cousin."

The homeowner smiled and whispered to the staff.

The staff member looked up at them and he understood that this was not a distant cousin at all. She was selling the house. He remembered that the owner of the house had several houses at home and they forced him to rent a three-story house a few days ago.

I was planning to let him rent out another house these days, but I didn't expect him to sell the house so quickly.

Anyone who could afford to buy an entire house must be no ordinary person and not someone he could afford to offend, so he softened his tone.

"Do you have a letter of introduction?"

"Have."

The homeowner hurriedly took out the letter of introduction and turned to look at Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan also took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the staff.

When the staff saw that Lin Qingyan's letter of introduction said, "Beijing University student," they immediately put away their thoughts.

Not everyone can get into Kyoto University. At this time, graduates from Kyoto University are directly assigned to various government departments and may even become their superiors in the future.

The staff then successfully completed the transfer procedures for them.

Finally, after he saw that both houses were transferred to Lin Qingyan, he became more cautious. In this day and age, it takes a lot of effort to come up with 20,000 yuan.

However, for a little girl like Lin Qingyan to live in two houses would definitely be considered a waste by the people at the Housing Management Office, so they kindly reminded her.

"Comrade, a house needs someone to live in it. If a house is left unoccupied, it is a waste and the housing management office will force it to be rented out. If you don't want to live in it, you can rent it to someone you know. Otherwise, the housing management office may force someone to rent it."

When Lin Qingyan heard this, she immediately pulled Ye Yi forward and said to the staff:

"I'll rent the house to her. Can you please help me with the rental procedures?"

The staff looked at her speechlessly, then looked at Ye Yi who was standing next to her, but still helped them to complete the rental procedures.

After Lin Qingyan gave the money for the house to the owner, she took the key to the house and looked at the house documents carefully. She was very excited.

In modern times, Zhou Limei had always encouraged her to buy a house. She could never understand why one would feel insecure without a house, but at this moment she understood the sense of security that having a house brought.

She carefully put it in her bag, actually put it into the space.

The homeowner smiled and said to Lin Qingyan, "Comrade Lin, thank you so much for helping me."

Without waiting for Lin Qingyan to reply, he turned around and thanked Gu Yizhou.

"Brother, thank you!"

"Are you really determined to leave?"

"Ok!"

"I think the policies from above will get better and better in the future. Do you want to wait a while?" Gu Yizhou advised.

"My parents' health can't wait." The homeowner thanked him bitterly for his kindness, said goodbye to them and left!

After they returned to the courtyard, Lin Qingyan decided to clean up a room first.

Looking at the well in the front yard, Lin Qingyan decided to clean up the front yard.

"I'm going to clean up one room first. Ye Yi and I will stay here tonight. I'll clean up the other rooms later!"

"There's nothing in this house. You can stay in my house for a few days. My house is not far from here. Come back after you've packed up. Is that okay with you?"

Gu Yizhou looked at Lin Qingyan and tried to persuade her.

Lin Qingyan looked at the sky. It was still early, so she could tidy up the house, but she didn't have any bedding.

She put some quilts and some daily necessities in the space. Once the house was cleaned up, she could move in, but she couldn't take anything out yet.
