Quick Wear: True and False Life

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the college entrance examination.

Lu Nan sent the child to his grandparents' house and took Haozi to live in the town. The guesthouse was full of people from various villages who came to visit. Fortunately, they came early, otherwise there would be no place to stay.

Lu Nan herself didn't feel too strongly about it. After all, she didn't have such a heavy psychological burden, so passing the exam or not was not a necessary result. At most, it would be a bit of a regret.

A few days passed quickly, and after the exam was finished, Bai Wenjing and the others reviewed the questions together and asked Lu Nan about his performance. Lu Nan just said, "I did okay!"

After the exam, it was time to estimate scores and apply to colleges. Lu Nan didn't have a specific goal, so he followed everyone's advice and applied to Peking University.

During the days of waiting, people's hearts were restless. With the arrival of the notice, quarrels broke out from time to time in the village. In the end, these people got what they wished and left.

Bai Wenjing and Guo Jiawei were admitted to the Normal University in their hometown of Hunan as they wished. The two discussed things with each other and found that they had similar interests. I wish the couple a long and happy journey.

Zhang Cheng and Xie Yan also got admitted to schools in their hometown, one to a mechanical university and the other to an architectural university, both of which are good.

Lu Nan arrived last. She received the admission letter and the bonus at the same time. She ranked first in the province, and the province, city and town all gave her rewards and interviewed her. This made her grandparents very happy, and it was easy to negotiate when they needed them to go to Beijing to help her take care of the children.

After setting the date, Lu Nan bought four train tickets. Unfortunately, her parents couldn't go as her sister-in-law was pregnant and about to give birth. Lingxi and Baixi were put into her space and she lied to someone to send them to Beijing.

All the chickens and rabbits at home were sent to my mother to be raised by her. The chickens at my grandparents' house were killed and eaten on the way. There were a lot of rabbits, so I gave one to each of my good friends, and the grain was distributed to the village.

Half a month before school started, they finally arrived in Beijing. Lu Nan first went to the guesthouse to check in. After breakfast the next day, Lu Nan went out to look for a house. After a walk around Peking University, she went to the Housing Authority to ask.

After entering the Housing Management Office, Lu Nan directly asked the middle-aged woman on duty, "Auntie, can you tell me if there are any courtyard houses for sale near this school?"

"Who are you?" the middle-aged woman looked up and asked.

"I am a candidate this year, and here is a letter of introduction."

"Yes, there are, but they're not cheap." said the middle-aged woman after reading the letter of introduction.

"Aunt, I know, but how about I look at the house first?"

"Okay then! I'll take you to have a look. I won't suffer any loss anyway." The middle-aged woman took the key and closed the door.

They visited four courtyard houses in total, but Lu Nan was not satisfied with any of them. The better ones were too small, and the larger ones were badly damaged. It would be fine to buy them and stockpile them, but it would be not so good to move in directly.

"Any more?"

"There are two more courtyard houses. If you want to see them, come back this afternoon. I have to go home from get off work and cook." The middle-aged woman looked around and realized that the girl wanted good ones. However, there were indeed two of them, but the prices were a bit high, so she had to sell them urgently to make money.

"Okay, take it back to sweeten the child's mouth. I'll have to trouble you again in the afternoon." Upon hearing the middle-aged woman say this, Lu Nan grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and stuffed them into her mouth.

The two agreed on a time and then separated. When Lu Nan returned, he took his family to a restaurant for dinner and took a walk nearby.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, the middle-aged woman took her to see houses as soon as she got to work. Both houses were good. One was located on the main street, the front could be used as a storefront, and there was a second courtyard in the back. The asking price was 5,600; the other was in a quiet location, with a third courtyard that was well preserved, and the asking price was 5,800.

Lu Nan learned from the floating memories of the original owner after his death that the value of the house would increase dramatically in the future, so he wanted to sell more now to occupy it.

"Auntie, you didn't give me a quote when I looked around this morning. Can I hear one?"

"Sure." The middle-aged woman was surprised by her action, but still replied.

The four places in the morning, the first one, with a courtyard and three houses in a row, a kitchen on the right, and a small courtyard, the asking price is 680; the second one, with a courtyard and three houses in a row, with side rooms on the left and right, and a small courtyard, the asking price is 720; the third one, with a courtyard and five houses in a row, with side rooms on the left and right, the living quarters are messy and seriously damaged, the asking price is 1800; the fourth one, with three courtyards, is very large and has not been occupied, and has fallen into disrepair for many years, the asking price is 3600.

"Auntie, can you lower the price a bit?" Lu Nan calculated that the total cost was 18,200, so he said to the middle-aged woman.

"If you really want to buy it, I can give you a real price depending on which part you value."

"If you buy all of them, I'll give you as much as you can."

"Why are you buying so much?" the middle-aged woman asked in surprise.

"There are many people in my family. I have a son. I bought one set for him, one set for my grandparents, one set for my parents, and my two brothers each don't get one set."

"There are quite a lot of people here. The bottom line I can give you is 8% off. If you think it's okay with me, I'll do it now." The middle-aged woman gave her a big discount when she saw that she had bought everything.

"Okay then. Thank you for your help, auntie." Lu Nan was willing to give an 8% profit.

The middle-aged woman saw that all the houses were sold and her sales performance was not only preserved, how could she not be happy? She was very active in helping Lu Nan with the formalities.

Lu Nan spent more than 17,000 yuan to buy six courtyard houses. She was very excited, but she didn't say anything after returning home. Instead, she decided to move to the quieter three-courtyard house. It was not far from the police station, so it was safe and she could move in directly. It was also not far from the school, so it was convenient for her to go to school on a commuter basis.

"Grandpa and grandma, I bought a courtyard house. Let's pack it up and give up the house. We will move in soon."

"Really? Do you have enough money?" When grandma heard that she was buying a house, she was afraid that she would put all her money into buying the house and would have nothing left for herself, and how would she live.

"Don't worry! I can treat myself badly."

Lu Nan packed up her things, checked out of the hotel, and asked her grandmother to take her great-grandson with her. The three of them picked up their luggage and set off to return to the courtyard.

When I opened the door and walked in, I was greeted by the fragrance of osmanthus. The flowers and plants were well trimmed and the yard was very clean.

After entering the house, Lu Nan felt that the purchase was worth it. He kept all the tables, chairs, beds, bookshelves, etc., put decorations on them, hung paintings and calligraphy, and added some potted plants, and the antique courtyard would be perfect.

"Nannan, how much is this yard? It should not be cheap." Grandpa put down his things, walked around, and came back to ask.

"Grandpa, five thousand and three, how about that?" Lu Nan asked when he heard his grandfather ask while looking around the room.

"It's worth the price. I asked at the guesthouse and the housing prices here are not low. You bought this yard and the things left behind are really a bargain. It would cost a lot to get these things yourself."

Grandpa traveled a lot when he was young, and he had seen a lot of things when he was outside, so he said this. "Grandpa, you're right, an old man in the family is like a treasure, and we have two treasures in our family." Lu Nan replied happily.

"Nannan, shouldn't our family have four treasures?" Haozi asked doubtfully.
