Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Xia He had eaten before coming over and went upstairs with Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu opened the bedroom door:

"Would you like to sleep with me and Shuo Shuo, or on the sofa?"

The other bedroom was occupied by the Li Yuerong and her sister, and Li Yueshu was also busy cleaning downstairs.

Xia He glanced at the bedroom:

"The bed is so big, it won't be crowded if I sleep with you and your daughter."

Bai Zhenzhu brought over the pumpkin seeds from the dresser; they were given to her by Mei Xiulian, the vegetable seller, and were roasted at home.

Ask Xia He:

"Have you bought the house yet?"

Xia He said happily:

“I paid the deposit. The property certificate shows an area of ​​70 square meters. They originally insisted on 13,000 yuan, but I talked to my mother for a long time and finally got it down to 1,000 yuan.”

Twelve thousand for a yard and a vegetable garden, that's not bad.

Bai Zhenzhu took the opportunity to brainwash her:

"Aunt Wen's intervention was the right move. It's good that we can buy now; it always feels like housing prices are going up."

Xia He was puzzled when she heard her say that housing prices were going to rise again:

"Pearl, do you have some kind of obsession with buying a house? It seems like you're possessed."

Bai Zhenzhu: "I'll just ask you this: you bought that shop for four thousand yuan, and now you're selling it for thirty thousand. If you sell the shop now, you'll make a profit of twenty-six thousand yuan. Isn't that a great profit?"

Xia He nodded: "Great."

Bai Zhenzhu: "That makes sense. When we came back from Qingshuihe that day, you saw that there were many places on Xingfu Street where buildings were under construction."

"Look at the passenger flow at the train station. Hasn't it been increasing in recent years? More and more people will move to the city in the future, the demand for housing will increase, and housing prices will definitely continue to rise."

Xia He lived near the train station, so she naturally knew about the changes at the station and felt that what Bai Zhenzhu said made sense.

He hesitated and said, "Then should I do the same as you and buy more houses to have in hand?"

White Pearl: "I'll buy it if I find a suitable one."

She couldn't say too much, so that was all she could say.

Business has been relatively stable in several stores recently, with the clothing store having the highest profit margin, earning at least two hundred yuan a day.

Xia He also said that it's the off-season now, and they'll start making money when it gets cold and they start selling winter clothes.

"Especially around the time of the Chinese New Year, last year I earned this much in a single day at most."

She gave an OK sign.

Bai Zhenzhu was stunned: "Three thousand?"

Xia He nodded repeatedly, extremely pleased with herself:

"Isn't sis awesome?"

White Pearl: "Amazing."

Xia He was cracking pumpkin seeds:

"It's only in the last two years that making money has become easier. Before, everyone was poor and reluctant to spend money."

White Pearl also deeply understands this.

In the past, we couldn't bear to eat the pigs we raised; we wished we could sell them all for money.

In the past two years, almost every household has slaughtered a pig for the New Year, and meat has become increasingly common on the dining table.

On Saturday, Bai Zhenzhu and Li Yueshu went to open the clothing store. From afar, they saw a man in a white shirt sitting on a motorcycle smoking.

"Comrade Nie, you're here so early, is there something you need?"

Nie Lei quickly threw away the cigarette and stubbed it out with his toe.

"Didn't I say I'd take you to see a house last time? I'm off today, so I can take you. Are you free?"

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "You have time? This is too much trouble for you."

Nie Lei was a little embarrassed to look Bai Zhenzhu directly in the eyes:

"No trouble at all. I'm free on the weekend anyway. You, you get in the car."

He got on the motorcycle first.

Bai Zhenzhu gave the keys to Li Yueshu and then got into Nie Lei's car.

"Comrade Bai, you...you take good care of it."

"Ok."

Bai Zhenzhu grabbed Nie Lei's shirt at the waist and reminded him:

"I've got it, Comrade Nie, let's go."

Nie Lei took a deep breath.

It was his first time leading a girl around, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweaty.

Even worse, it wouldn't start after several attempts to kick it.

Just when he was so nervous he was about to break out in a sweat, the damn motorcycle finally started.

The house Nie Lei mentioned wasn't far away either; it happened to be on Xingfu Street.

Upon arriving at the destination, Nie Lei parked the car.

"This residential area is called Furong Residential Area, and my home is in the one next door."

Bai Zhenzhu was somewhat surprised:

"So you don't live in the same neighborhood as last time?"

Nie Lei explained:

“My uncle lives over there. I went to see him last time.”

He pushed the motorcycle into the residential area, locked it, and then took Bai Zhenzhu to the fourth floor of the building on the left.

These houses are built like schools, with at least five or six houses in a row, and the staircases are located in the middle of the buildings.

Outside was a passageway, which was filled with clothes hanging to dry.

Nie Lei is 1.8 meters tall and always walks with a hunched back.

When they arrived at a house, Nie Lei knocked on the door.

A man opened the door and smiled when he saw Nie Lei:

"Leiwa, what brings you here? Come in and sit down."

Seeing Bai Zhenzhu next to Nie Lei, her eyes lit up:

"This is you……"

Nie Lei quickly interrupted:

"Brother Lin, aren't you selling houses? I'll bring some people over to take a look."

The man's gaze swept back and forth between Nie Lei and Bai Zhenzhu's faces.

Bai Zhenzhu took the initiative to say:

"Brother, Comrade Nie really brought me to see the house. Is your house for sale?"

The man then believed him and stepped aside to let the two into the house.

The room was quite messy.

It seems they've already moved; the place is messy and all the large pieces of furniture are gone.

"I'm sorry, I just moved yesterday and haven't unpacked yet," the man explained awkwardly.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled:

"It's okay, it's just moving, it's normal."

Nie Lei said to Bai Zhenzhu:

"Comrade Bai, feel free to look around. Brother Lin is an engineer at my dad's company, and his wife is a teacher at No. 1 Middle School. They've moved to a bigger house, so they want to sell this old one."

It turns out they're an intellectual family; no wonder there are all sorts of papers on the floor.

White Pearl looked it over inside and out.

At this time, most houses are two bedrooms and one living room, with an area of ​​about fifty or sixty square meters, and the layout of the houses is no different.

The family had almost moved out, leaving behind only a dark bed, a few old stools, and a small dark table.

As Bai Zhenzhu looked around, the engineer surnamed Lin pulled Nie Lei aside and whispered something:

"Really not your girlfriend? Such a pretty girl is a rare find. You'd better hurry up, kid."

Nie Lei was a little embarrassed:

"Isn't this a good effort?"

He hadn't expected this either; he was already annoyed when he saw Bai Zhenzhu go to withdraw money.

Now, he's even proactively helping her find an apartment and spending money on it.

After looking at the white pearls, I asked about the price.

Lin Gong glanced at Nie Lei:

“Since you were introduced by Nie Lei, I won’t haggle with you. It’s a flat price of ten thousand, cash only.”

The price of this white pearl is quite surprising.

She estimated that this house was slightly smaller than the one Xia He bought, and it didn't come with any furniture.

But the building needs to be newer, so this price is definitely a fair price.

Nie Lei thought she was unaware of the market rates, so he reminded her:

“Go a little further on, next to the department store, houses like these would cost at least two or three thousand more.”

Two or three thousand is Nie Lei's annual salary, which is quite a lot.

Bai Zhenzhu took out five hundred yuan from her bag:

"Brother, how about I pay a deposit first, and then go to the housing management office on Monday to sign the contract and transfer the property?"

The other party also readily agreed:

"No problem, I'll write you a receipt."

Bai Zhenzhu was quite excited as she secured another apartment.

I just don't know which side, Happiness Avenue or the train station, will be built first.

Nie Lei then returned Bai Zhenzhu to the clothing store.

White Pearl was extremely grateful:

"Comrade Nie, thank you so much for today. I'd like to treat you to dinner tonight. How about Hao Weidao Restaurant in the market?"

Nie Lei's heart skipped a beat.

Have a meal?

"Okay!" he replied excitedly.
