Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 260 Picking up the leaks

Lin Qingyan and her group stood in front of the homeowner's door. There were actually two inkstones in front of the vermilion door. She had read comments about it online.

If there is an inkstone in front of the gate, it means he is a civil official. If there is a lion in front of the gate, it is a stone drum and he is a military officer.

But no matter what, the ancestors of the owner of this house were once honored.

Lin Qingyan was very satisfied, so she turned around and looked around. She seemed to see an incredible building from afar. She had seen it many times on her phone.

She knew what this place was. It was a place many people yearned for. Even in modern times, many people came here to travel and check in.

People line up there in the middle of the night, waiting for the flag-raising ceremony at dawn. Especially those who bring their children with them, all want their children to see the prosperity of the motherland, and also want to instill in their children a correct sense of patriotism when they are young.

She had seen all these on her mobile phone. She had also heard Zhou Limei say that she wanted to wait until Tongtong was older so that she could take her to watch the flag-raising ceremony. She had never expected that she would have the opportunity to buy a house nearby. At this moment, Lin Qingyan's eyes were full of stars. She couldn't help but get excited, and her heartbeat obviously accelerated.

While she was lost in thought, Gu Yizhou had already reached out and gently knocked on the door. Only then did Lin Qingyan come back to her senses and look at the door.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, revealing a tall and thin young man with a scholarly air. However, the young man looked rather tired, but when he saw Gu Yizhou, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

"Yizhou, you're here, is this the person you said you wanted to buy a house from?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi. He knew Gu Yizhou, so he was naturally familiar with Fang Yunxing. What's more, Fang Yunxing had come here with Gu Yizhou before. If he wanted to buy a house, he would have bought it at that time and would not have waited until now.

"Yes, they want to buy it. Now I'm bringing them over to see the house."

Gu Yizhou turned sideways and motioned Lin Qingyan to come forward. Lin Qingyan took a step forward without hesitation.

The owner of the house glanced at Lin Qingyan. Although she looked pretty and weak, her eyes were clear and firm. So he pointed at the house behind him and said to them:

"Then come in and take a look! Can we take a look at this house first?"

Of course, the few people had no objection, so they followed the owner and walked in through the main door. Next to the main door was a back house.

From the gate, she came to the front yard. There was a well in the front yard and a ginkgo tree beside it. This feeling made Lin Qingyan feel very familiar. She thought of the mysterious well in the space and felt excited. Just for this well, she wanted to buy this house.

Lin Qingyan and her companions passed through the hanging flower gate from the front yard to the inner courtyard and visited several houses. The houses were all empty and there was no furniture.

However, Lin Qingyan was even more excited when she saw that the main house, the east and west wing rooms, and the left and right ear rooms were all well preserved.

Furniture can be added gradually, as long as the house is in good condition, some areas may need repairs, but no major renovations are needed.

This house, with its red door, green windows, blue bricks and black tiles, is a standard two-entry courtyard house.

"This house is the best preserved among the several houses. It was occupied by people from GWH at the time. They lived there themselves. The whole house has not been damaged too much. It can be lived in after a little repair."

The homeowner reached out and touched the pillar next to him, feeling very regretful. He didn't want to sell the house, but his parents' bodies really couldn't withstand another injury.

Forget it, he should sell the house as soon as possible and get away from Beijing.

"Would you like to take a look at this house? Or should we go take a look at other houses first?"

The house looked at Lin Qingyan and asked. Lin Qingyan thought for a moment and asked:

“Are the other houses far away?”

"Not far away, there is a house with one entrance next to this one, and there is another one with three entrances a little further away. But the house with three entrances will be difficult to deal with if you two girls buy it.

Although I want to sell the house, I can't cheat you. There are many tenants in that three-story house, and some people don't want to move out." The owner honestly introduced the situation of the other house.

When Lin Qingyan heard this, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to see it and went straight to see the house next door.

Ye Yi had been quietly following Lin Qingyan, looking at the two houses with her. Unlike Lin Qingyan, she preferred the house next to it.

Although the house looks small, she feels very safe. But she thinks that the money she has is far from enough to buy a house.

I had to secretly make up my mind that I must make good money and buy a house in Beijing.

Lin Qingyan has already decided to buy the two-story house.

"How much are this one-story house and that two-story house respectively?"

When the house heard the inquiry, it looked at Gu Yizhou. Lin Qingyan felt it keenly and said directly to the house:

"Sir, I'm the one who wants to buy the house. Just make an offer. I'll buy it if the price is right."

Gu Yizhou sighed and nodded to the landlord.

The landlord gritted his teeth and said to Lin Qingyan:

"Girl, this two-story house costs fifteen thousand. I won't hide it from you. If I didn't want to stay in Beijing anymore, I wouldn't sell it. If I wasn't in a hurry to cash out and leave, I wouldn't sell it at this price."

Fang Yunxing, who had been silent, could not help but say:

"At the beginning of this year, these houses were still priced under 10,000 yuan. How come they have increased so much in less than a year?"

"Now that the policy has been relaxed, the educated youth have returned to the city one after another. Many people have nowhere to live. The prices of some houses have doubled. If it weren't for Yizhou's face, I wouldn't sell it for less than 18,000 yuan."

Although Lin Qingyan didn't know whether what the homeowner said was true or not, she knew from the Internet that the price of these houses in the future market would be at least 100 or 200 million yuan, so she didn't lose money by buying them for 15,000 yuan.

"What about the other one with a courtyard? How much is that one?"

The homeowner thought that Lin Qingyan could not afford this two-story house and looked a little anxious. His parents' health did not allow them to stay in Beijing for long.

So he gritted his teeth and said to Lin Qingyan:

"The first one is 6000 yuan. If you buy both, you have to pay yuan in total. This is the lowest price."

Lin Qingyan was a little hesitant at this time. She could take out 20,000 yuan, but after that, she would not have much money left.

Gu Yizhou seemed to have noticed her hesitation, so he said to the owner, "Can we discuss this first?"

"Okay, you guys discuss it first, and then tell me when you're done."

The homeowner said this and walked out.

"Qingyan, is there something wrong with the house? Are you not satisfied with this one? If not, let's look for other places."

Gu Yizhou walked up to Lin Qingyan and asked her softly.

"There is nothing wrong with the house. I am very satisfied with it. I originally wanted to buy only one house and I was interested in the one with two courtyards. But after seeing the first courtyard, I had a new idea."

Lin Qingyan looked at the house, her tone unable to conceal her excitement.
