After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Xia Ran nodded and saw that the other person was still laughing. She didn't know what was so funny about him, so she quickly changed the subject: "Is your skin natural or did you take care of it later? It's really good."

Chen Jin stopped laughing and returned to the point: "It's a combination of natural and maintenance, but it's more natural... heredity."

When he said the latter part, he paused for a moment. I don't know what he was thinking about, but his tone became lower. Xia Ran also caught the change before and after. It seems that every family has its own problems.

Xia Ran was originally planning to ask about maintenance methods, but now she thought better of it and decided to ask when it was more convenient. She then changed the subject: "What about the housing prices in Shanghai? Are they expensive? Are there many people buying and selling houses?"

"I estimate it's between 800 and 2000 yuan. I don't know the exact amount. Someone I know sold his house to Australia two years ago. He sold it for more than 900 yuan per square meter. It was 51 square meters in total and the location was quite good.

I haven’t heard of anyone around me selling or buying a house this year. People who already have a house don’t need to buy one, and people who don’t have a house usually wait for their employer to allocate a house. Who would be willing to pay for a house when there is a free one to live in?

"That's right." Xia Ran remembered that the policy of stopping welfare housing distribution seemed to have been implemented only in 98. It was still a long time ago. No wonder everyone was waiting for housing distribution so steadily.

I also understand why people nowadays spend thousands of dollars like crazy to buy clothes. The main reason is that the houses they live in have clothes, so they don’t have to spend money to buy them.

With no other place to spend money and good expectations for the future, people are naturally willing to spend several months or even a year's salary on a piece of clothing.

If people have good expectations for the future, they will spend as much as possible without fear of overdrawing. If they have bad expectations, they will naturally save as much as possible to cope with the uncertainty of tomorrow and the future.

"Are there many people renting houses? What are the prices?"

"I don't know the exact price, but I think it depends on where the place is, how big it is, and what's inside. For example, a bed in an alleyway won't cost much.

After all, many of them are old attics, which creak when you walk in. Some aisles are so narrow that only one person can pass through. The kitchens and bathrooms are shared.

The price here is low, but it is very inconvenient and there is almost no privacy. A complete family building with a kitchen and bathroom is more expensive.”

"Well, it seems you get what you pay for."

Chen Jin was also confused at this moment. Why was this person so charming? She looked so plain in appearance, no different from the women in the village.

But the way he talked seemed very unusual. I always felt that Xia Ran was very disconnected and there was a sense of incongruity. But the strange thing was that this sense of incongruity was not offensive. I vaguely felt that it should be like this.

Later, Chen Jin fell asleep while chatting, but Xia Ran stayed awake and continued to memorize the map. If she wanted to make money here, she should be as familiar with the place as possible. Fortunately, her brain was working well now, and she had a photographic memory, so it was easy for her to remember.

The older sister was like an invisible person from beginning to end. Knowing that Xia Ran disliked her and didn't want to talk to her, she didn't say a word. Later, she fell asleep while listening.

By 6 o'clock, when the sun rose, the map had already taken shape in Xia Ran's mind. As long as the map was not printed incorrectly, the information she knew was all correct. This feeling of knowing what was going on really made her feel at ease.

Suddenly she remembered that she had caught several gangsters on the train this time. These people were not good people. This could be considered a great merit. I wonder how much the area of ​​the space can be increased this time?

Xia Ran was just about to call for help when Wang Yu came over and knocked on the door, saying that they could leave.

Chen Jin also woke up from her daze, took her things, and went to the bathroom together. She washed her face with clean water. Xia Ran also took the opportunity to quickly brush her teeth. She felt uncomfortable without brushing her teeth.

Now that we have left the station, it's time to go our separate ways.

Wang Yu kept muttering to himself, repeating the address of the place where he was going to study to Xia Ran several times, "Sister, remember to contact me if you have anything. Remember to write down the address. I will stay here for a week. Remember to talk to me if you need anything."

This girl is indeed quite skilled and righteous, but it is this blind self-confidence that makes them extremely uneasy. They are afraid that others will take advantage of her righteousness and sell her out.

When the other two brothers got off the car, they specifically told him to take good care of the girl after arriving in Shanghai, for fear that she would be cheated.

"Okay, now that I'm stable, I'll come to you to let you know I'm safe."

Wang Yu and the older sister were preparing to take the bus. Their study letters had detailed instructions for taking the bus.

The two business people planned to leave by taxi like Chen Jin and Xia Ran.

Xia Ran sat in a taxi, looking at the street scene outside the window. She had a sense of time and space interweaving. She couldn't describe the feeling, but she just felt an inexplicable melancholy, and she didn't know what she was melancholy about.

The current Shanghai market cannot be compared with the future, but compared with the current small city in the northwest, it feels like the small city in the northwest is in a primitive society. The regional difference is fatal, and this is a gap that can never be crossed.

Suddenly, she thought that she should buy a camera to record all these scenes as a souvenir or collection, which must be very meaningful. It can also be regarded as a testimony to this period of history and time, so she asked: "Ms. Chen Jin, do you know how much a camera costs?"

"I don't know the exact price, but it's probably not cheap, at least several thousand yuan. You can consider buying a camera, a Seagull brand camera can be bought for 120 yuan."

"Yeah, that makes sense. The camera is too expensive." When Xia Ran heard the price of several thousand yuan, he immediately felt reluctant to buy it. This amount of money was enough to buy several subscription certificates. It was not cost-effective.

Just spend sparingly. Xia Ran originally thought she was quite rich, but when she heard the prices of things here, she felt like a poor person.

Buy a camera first, and the video camera can be bought later, when she makes a lot of money. Besides, she came here with a mission, and she didn't have much time to wander around, she had to do her work.

Finally the taxi stopped at the entrance of an alley.

Chen Jin paid the taxi fare first and took Xia Ran inside. It looked like a residential building for family members.

Xia Ran followed with her bag on her back and walked a few steps inside before she remembered: "I forgot to ask you before, is it convenient for me to go home with you?"

Chen Jin laughed again, and then said, "Isn't it a little late for you to think of this question now? Let's go. It's convenient. I invited you, so it must be convenient."

Her house is on the fourth floor. It is a 60-square-meter two-bedroom, one-living room house. Both bedrooms face south, the living room is semi-dark, and the bathroom and kitchen face north and have windows.

There are modern furniture such as television, radio, refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner, etc., but Xia Ran's home does not even have electricity. This is the difference between people.
