Third Aunt Liu Zhaodi was holding a basket with four apples and several oranges in it.

She handed the basket to Yu Xiuqin and said, "Sister, we are from out of town and work at the Yaowang Valley Zoo. We would like to live in Beijing permanently. Could you please tell me if there are any vacancies here?"

Yu Xiuqin became interested when she heard about working at the zoo. She asked, "Working at the zoo? I heard the salary there is much higher than those regular workers at state-owned factories. Is that true?"

Liu Zhaodi nodded and said, "Yes, our salary is quite high."

Yu Xiuqin sighed and said, "My family has wanted to go to the zoo for a long time. I heard there's an animal that looks like a dragon. Is it true?"

Liu Zhaodi nodded and said, "Is it true? Big sister, take your family to see it this Sunday."

After she finished speaking, she poked Li Zhihe, and Li Zhihe finally reacted. He quickly took out five zoo tickets from his pocket and handed them to Liu Zhaodi.

Liu Zhaodi took the ticket and placed it on Yu Xiuqin's desk. When Yu Xiuqin saw it was a ticket, a gleam flashed in her eyes and she said, "How can this be so embarrassing? Take it back quickly."

Liu Zhaodi waved her hand and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Thousands of people go to the zoo every day, so a few photos won't make a difference."

Seeing that they were chatting animatedly but not about the house, Old Man Shi said anxiously, "Um, Sister Yu, about my house..."

Yu Xiuqin finally reacted and said, "Oh, right, this old man has a large house with three courtyards. He happened to be planning to sell the house for ten thousand yuan, and there was no one else renting it. That's the house, right?"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Old Man Shi. He was afraid that Yu Xiuqin would tell the truth, otherwise how would he sell his house?

So he immediately said, "My house is really big, you two. It was just renovated a few years ago. It can accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded."

Li Zhihe asked, "Then may I ask why you want to sell your house? How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Old Man Shi straightened his back and said, "We're selling the house because it's too big. There are only four of us, and cleaning it every day takes up most of our time. I'm old and my physical strength can't keep up, so I'm planning to sell this big house and buy a smaller one. The price is 12,000. How about a large courtyard with three entrances? Isn't it a good deal?"

Today's China, thanks to Li Moer's arrival, has a much stronger economy and development than the Earth in the previous life. The buying and selling of houses are no longer subject to the strict rules and regulations of Earth, and are still relatively free and relaxed. The improvement of the law is in full swing.

Many local Chinese leaders also drew on the videos and books brought by Li Moer.

Li Zhihe did not comment on the price offered by Old Man Shi, and Old Man Shi did not see anything from his face.

At this time, Liu Zhaodi said to Li Zhihe, "Zhihe, this house is too expensive. All our savings are only 8,000 yuan. We can't afford this house. Besides, I don't have time to clean such a big house. Why don't we buy a smaller one?"

Li Zhihe nodded and followed Liu Zhaodi's words to Xiuqin, "Sister Yu, do you have a smaller house? We can't afford this old man's house!"

When Old Man Shi heard this, he became very anxious and said, "Why don't you pay 8,000 first and write an IOU for the rest. Pay it back within one year, or three years, right?"

Anyway, the house was there, so he wasn't afraid that Li Zhihe would default on his debt. As the second-in-command of the Urban Construction Bureau, he wasn't a mere figurehead. If anyone dared to default on his debt, he would have some tricks up his sleeve.
