Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

The admission date for their approved college students was the spring of 1978, so Gu Chun still had a few months to arrange his house and job.

Professor Song happened to call and said that he had asked his colleagues to find several suitable houses.

Gu Chun took Gu Xia to the vicinity of the university town and went to the address given by Professor Song.

In the courtyard of No. 8 Qingshi Hutong, Shen Qing opened the door and saw the two siblings, smiling happily.

"You two are here, come in and sit down."

Gu Chun looked at this courtyard. It was a standard three-entry courtyard with a small garden and the main room behind the screen wall.

It is said that after this yard was confiscated before, it was used as a government department office.

Therefore, unlike other people's yards, they were not allocated to residents, and the layout became messy, making it very troublesome to return.

Professor Song was a professor at Tsinghua University before the accident. When he came back after being rehabilitated, Tsinghua University valued talents very much, so they made great efforts to argue with the government agencies and took back the house intact and returned it to him.

Gu Chun likes this kind of house very much. Compared with the large courtyard where they live, where people come and go, this house only lives in his family, so it has more privacy.

There are also many rooms, so everyone can have a personal space.

Moreover, this kind of house is a non-renewable resource, and its future value cannot be underestimated.

It would be great if she could get a yard like this too.

Shen Qing was about to tell her about this, "Uncle Song asked his colleague and said that he is his nephew. He has no job now and is working as a second-hand dealer to make some money. If you can trust him, go and ask him. Does he have a way?"

Gu Chun thought to himself that this man's mind was quite flexible, and he might actually be able to get some real estate in his hands.

Shen Qing actually didn't quite believe that this nephew, a person who was idle and had no serious job, could be of much help.

It's just that her colleagues, Lao Song, always said that his nephew was a know-it-all and had many tricks up his sleeve.

Lao Song also told her that cats have cat paths and mice have rat paths.

Gu Chun was convinced that her thoughts were always a little different from those of people of this era.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with not working in a factory seriously and making money by relying on poor information.

Only this kind of people are the ones who can really make money.

Just nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Song, Aunt Shen, let's go find this nephew. Do you have his address?"

This nephew lives in Qingshi Hutong. He has a widowed mother who is often sick.

When his uncle was also sent down, he had to take care of his aunt and cousins.

This is why Shen Qing, although not optimistic, still thinks that Gu Chun can go to him.

A person who is kind, righteous, and filial cannot be bad.

Gu Chun took Gu Xia out of Song's house and entered the alley. After passing through several doors, they arrived at Courtyard No. 13.

This courtyard is smaller than the Song family's, but it is also antique.

A young man opened the door, "Who are you?"

Gu Chun greeted with a smile, "Are you Ning Hengjian?"

"I am, are you?" His expression was a bit guarded. After all, the Gu Chun siblings looked very young and did not look like people who usually came to him for business.

Gu Chun also saw his expression and said nonchalantly, "We were introduced by Professor Song and want to find a house here."

Ning Hengjian's face immediately filled with a smile, "So you are the ones Professor Song said were going to buy a house, disrespectful."

This man's face changed so quickly that Gu Xia was amazed.

Ning Hengjian usually talks to people when he meets them. These two may be his big customers. Can't they be more attentive to their parents?

Gu Chun was not too surprised. It was not like he had never seen the considerate service of later generations of service staff.

It's not like today's salespersons and waiters, who have a straight face and can be aggressive with customers.

That's because they serve an iron rice bowl and don't rely on sales, so their attitude towards customers will naturally be bad.

Ning Hengjian wanted to make money from them, so it was normal for him to have a nicer attitude.

Gu Chun also admired a person like him who could bend and stretch.

"Yes, we are looking for a house. Do you have one?"

Ning Hengjian had already heard his uncle talk about this, and he really knew who was selling a house nearby.

"I do, but that's the cost..."

Gu Chun is not a stingy person, "If you can find me a suitable house and a set, I will give you two big tickets."

Ning Hengjian was surprised, "Is it true that two people are united?"

He usually works as a second-tier dealer, doing errands for others and charging a fee for running errands. When he was young, he could not earn more than ten yuan a month.

It's better to go to the black market and make more money by buying and selling. On a good day, you can earn twenty or thirty a month.

Gu Chun's move was two big unity cards worth twenty yuan, which was a big deal.

And, "You said one set will give you two, what do you mean?"

It's not what he thinks, is it?

Gu Chun nodded, "Yes, you can find a few more houses for me. If there are suitable ones, I may buy more than one house."

It's not open yet, houses can't be traded freely, and prices aren't high. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she wants to buy more houses so that she can give one to her younger siblings in the future.

Ning Hengjian was determined to win this big customer.

"Then I will take you to see the nearest yard now."

The courtyard is very close, and it only takes less than five minutes to walk.

Ning Hengjian also told them about the situation of the house on the way.

This homeowner had just been rehabilitated. Everyone in his family had died, and now he was the only one left.

He was going to sell his house and take the money to go abroad to join his relatives.

Gu Chun felt sad in his heart. It was very sad to be left alone.

But in the future, if he knows that the house has risen to a sky-high price, he wonders if he will regret it.

The landlord's uncle shook his head when he heard Gu Chun's question.

"You assume that if I want to come back here in the future, will I regret not having a house to live in? I won't, because I am sure I will never come back here again in this life."

He looked at the house where he grew up, and every inch contained memories of him and his family.

After coming back, every minute and every second he stayed here was filled with pain and suffering.

He gently touched the scratches on the table,

"Comrade Gu, I just want to take the money and go to my relatives far away."

Gu Chun understood that this was the past that he did not want to recall.

"Okay, Uncle Zhang, if you want to come back for a visit in the future, I welcome you at any time."

"Thank you."

Because Uncle Zhang was eager to sell this house, Gu Chun didn't bargain too much, and finally bought it for five thousand yuan.

In fact, Ning Hengjian thinks this price is too high. The current per capita salary is only 20 to 30 years old.

But Gu Chun really liked this courtyard. It was larger than the Song family's courtyard, with four entrances.

There was not much damage inside the house, and the tables, chairs and benches were all made of valuable wood.

Uncle Zhang promised to keep all the furniture, and Gu Chun immediately agreed to buy the house.

Is this even worth considering?

These things will be antiques that even money cannot buy in the future.

Living in a house like this, how can one have troubles?

Thinking about it for a second longer would be a sign of disrespect for this courtyard house.

After deciding on the spot, they went to the Housing Authority to transfer the property.

Ning Hengjian does have a wide network of contacts. He even knows people in the Housing Authority.

I blocked the front door of Baoda and took care of things for them.

House sales are not allowed yet, so Uncle Zhang went through the transfer procedure and gave the house to Gu Chun.

Gu Chun had his bankbook with him and immediately went to withdraw the money and give it to him.

Gu Xia and Ning Hengjian were stunned at the speed of buying a house.
