Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Back at the hotel, Gu Hongzhe looked at Gu Nuanyi nervously.

Gu Nuanyi tilted her head and looked at Gu Hongzhe: "Are you afraid that I won't agree?"

Gu Hongzhe nodded

"Such a good job, I have no reason not to agree!"

Gu Hongzhe held the man in his arms and said, "What will happen to your job if you move to Baijiang City? And the gold and silver, the city can't compare to the spacious place in the brigade for them to run around..."

Gu Nuanyi thought for a moment and said, "The translation work is easy to solve, but as for Gu Xinyu... I have to go back and ask her. I can also tie up the gold and silver with ropes and take them out for a stroll, but do you want to do this?"

"Seeing the drawings I drew by myself being produced, I feel a great sense of accomplishment!!! Wife, to be honest, I want to work in a machinery factory..."

"Then go ahead! I support you as long as you want to do it!!!"

Gu Hongzhe hugged Gu Nuanyi tightly: "Wife, you are so nice!!!"

Since I am planning to live in Baijiang City, I naturally need to have a house here.

"Brother Azhe, let's stay for another day and go look for a house tomorrow. It would be best if it has a small yard so that it will be convenient for raising gold and silver. The dormitory we are assigned will definitely not be that convenient."

"Okay! Let's go see it tomorrow!!"

The next morning, Gu Hongzhe went to the machinery factory to inform them.

The director of the machinery factory welcomed us very much: "Comrade Gu, welcome to join our big family of machinery factory! Your salary is 120 yuan per month, and you will get meal tickets and welfare tickets. In addition, if you can draw other drawings, we will also give you bonuses after they are completed! ! At the end of the factory area is our dormitory. Currently, there is an empty room on the first and third floors of Building 5."

"Director, we plan to rent a small yard outside. My wife has two dogs, and it will be inconvenient for them to live in the dormitory."

"Hmm...I see. If you rent a house outside, the factory doesn't provide rental subsidies! So, I'll give you 5 days to rent a house and move. Remember to report to the factory on time after 5 days!"

Gu Hongzhe nodded: "Okay, I will report on time!!"

After leaving the machinery factory, Gu Hongzhe went to the state-owned restaurant and bought two big buns to bring back to the hotel.

"Wife, the machinery factory has said that after breakfast, let's go look at houses!"

Gu Nuanyi and Gu Hongzhe first wanted to find a small courtyard near the machinery factory. They circled the machinery factory several times, but they didn't find any empty courtyards. They were almost mistaken for thieves who came to scout the place.

Gu Hongzhe explained: "Aunt, I'm a new employee of the machinery factory and I'm looking for a house."

Gu Nuanyi also grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candy from her bag and handed it to her aunt: "Aunt, do you know where there is a house for sale?"

The aunt looked at the White Rabbit candy in her hand, and her expression immediately improved a lot: "You really asked the right person when you asked me. I have lived here for most of my life, and I know exactly where there are houses for sale." After that, she pouted at Gu Nuanyi and gestured for more.

Gu Nuanyi grabbed another handful from her bag, and the aunt said, "What kind of house do you want to buy?"

"The one with the small yard!"

The aunt put the White Rabbit candy in her pocket and said, "There is a family about one street away from here. Their family is moving to Hong Kong and they are preparing to sell their candy. I'll take you over to have a look!"

The two looked at each other and followed their aunt.

After walking for about 15 minutes, the aunt stopped at a door, knocked on it and said, "Old man Chen, are you home?"

"Yes!" An old man with a hunchback opened the door, glanced at Gu Hongzhe and Gu Nuanyi warily and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Old man Chen, didn't you say you wanted to sell this little courtyard of yours? Why don't I bring some people over to take a look?"

Hearing that you are here to look at the house, Old Man Chen finally smiled and said, "Come in and take a look! My little yard is well maintained. If my son hadn't insisted on taking me to Hong Kong to enjoy life, I would have been reluctant to leave this little yard. Take a look, isn't it very nice?"

Old Man Chen led the two of them around the yard and looked inside the house.

After the two of them walked around, Gu Nuanyi said in a low voice: "I think this house is good, let me ask the price first."

Gu Hongzhe nodded: "Excuse me, how much is this house?"

Old man Chen stretched out his finger and pointed: "2!"

Gu Nuanyi rolled her eyes and pulled Gu Hongzhe out.

The aunt who brought the people here blushed all of a sudden. She brought the people here with good intentions, but she didn't expect that old man Chen would ask for an unreasonable price. This small courtyard is not worth 2 yuan no matter how you look at it...

"Sister, I know of another yard. I'll take you there to have a look!"

Old man Chen shouted quickly: "Hey, hey, hey, we can bargain, young man, why don't you have any patience at all? My yard is so nice, right? So, you two can tell me what price you can offer, if it's suitable, we can go and transfer the ownership today."

Gu Nuanyi gestured: "2!!!"

Old man Chen almost threw up his hands and said, "You... your price is too low. How can you bargain like that? You just cut it down to zero!! The lowest price is 1. I won't take away my old furniture and flowers!"

"The flowers you raise are really useless to me. I can only look at them but not eat them. As for the furniture, it won't cost much for me to buy new ones when the time comes. How about this? Your yard is really well decorated. I'll add some more. 4 doesn't sound good, so 5 is fine!" Gu Nuanyi waited for a while and saw that Old Man Chen didn't react.

He looked at his aunt with a smile and said, "Didn't you say there is another one? Please take us to see it!"

"Okay, the other one isn't too far from here," he said as he led Gu Nuanyi and the other person out.

"Hey, girl, 5 is really too little. If you add a little more, I'll lower it a little. How about 1?"

"You are really good at rounding up. You have done such a good job with your little yard that you will definitely have no trouble selling it. We are not a big family or a big business, so we cannot afford your price!!"

These words amused the aunt beside him: "I like your little girl's words. Old man Chen, since your courtyard is so nice, don't sell it, keep it!"

Old man Chen's face changed. He just wanted to have some money so that his daughter-in-law would treat him well after he went to Hong Kong...

The three sharp-eyed people were about to leave the door. Old Man Chen sighed, "I will move out in three days. I will pay the money and transfer the property to you then!"

Gu Hongzhe and Gu Nuanyi looked at each other, and Gu Nuanyi nodded: "Okay, then we'll come at the same time in three days!"

After leaving the house, Gu Nuanyi said with a smile: "When we move in, please treat Auntie to a meal!!"

The aunt pointed to the front and said, "My last name is Zhao, you can just call me Aunt Zhao. My home is right where you were hanging out before. Come and visit my home after you move in!"
