Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 276 Buying a House is a Big Deal

"Qingyan, do you think I can afford a house like this?"

Wang Lanlan looked at Lin Qingyan with sparkling eyes. Ye Yi and Xu Jianshan also looked at her. Lin Qingyan smiled and said to them:

"As long as you work hard, you can definitely afford it, but you've been on the bus for a few days, so you should go take a shower and change your clothes."

"Where do I go to change?"

Wang Lanlan stood in the yard, looking at the rooms on both sides.

"You can go to my room and live with me for a while."

Ye Yi pulled her towards the house where she lived.

Lin Qingyan originally wanted to arrange Xu Jianshan to stay in another room, but Xu Jianshan refused. He pointed to a row of houses by the gate and said to Lin Qingyan:

"Can I stay here for a few days? I'll move out when school starts."

"Xu Jianshan, we are good friends. You don't have to be so distant with us. We are each other's relatives and friends in Beijing.

If you don’t go home during the winter and summer vacations, you can come and live here. There are only a few girls like us living in this house, and we don’t know the neighbors. If there are more people living here, others won’t dare to bully us at will.”

Xu Jianshan thought about it and decided that it was not safe for several girls to live here, so he nodded in agreement.

However, he secretly decided in his heart that he must repay Lin Qingyan for her care in the future.

Xu Jianshan finally chose a room in the back building, which was close to the main door and convenient for watching the door.

After they all went to wash up, Lin Qingyan went to the kitchen and cooked a simple bowl of shredded pork noodles with some pickled side dishes.

After they finished washing, they started eating.

"I haven't felt safe and secure at home this New Year," Wang Lanlan sighed.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Yi thought something had happened and asked hurriedly.

"Nothing happened. I just felt bad seeing you two come to Beijing while I am still at home under the control of my mother."

"You got into Beijing University, will your aunt still care about you?"

"Yes, why doesn't she care? These days at home, she takes me wherever she goes. She not only takes me to my uncle's house, several aunts' houses, but also to my aunt's house. She tells everyone she meets that I was admitted to Beijing University. You have no idea how this feels."

Wang Lanlan couldn't help but complain about her mother while eating the noodles in her bowl.

"She almost tied me up. It was the same in the village. Whenever other relatives from other families in the village came over, she would drag me out to show them and make me stand there waiting for others to praise me."

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi imagined the scene and couldn't help shivering, then they both laughed.

"You guys are actually laughing at me? Do you know how I felt at that time? I really regretted not coming to Beijing with you guys. I spent the whole New Year's Eve at home like a monkey.

After the New Year, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I escaped by saying you asked me to come to Beijing as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would have to wait until school started to come."

Wang Lanlan's tone was filled with resentment. She wished she could drag these two people away and make monkeys of them.

A few people chatted and laughed. After finishing their meal, Lin Qingyan smiled and said to Wang Lanlan:

"Are you tired?"

"Not tired! What's wrong? Anything good?"

Although Wang Lanlan had been on the bus for several days, after arriving in Beijing, everything she saw was new and she did not feel tired at all.

"If you're not tired, I'll take you to see another house." Lin Qingyan looked at her with a smile.

"And the house?"

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi both smiled and said nothing. When they got to the next room,

I just saw this small courtyard at the entrance. It faces north and south and has plenty of sunlight. It doesn’t have the corridor like Lin Qingyan’s house, but it has the charm of a courtyard house.

Wang Lanlan was so stunned that she liked this house even more.

"Qingyan, I like this house more. I think buying this house will make it more possible and closer to my goal."

Xu Jianshan also liked it, and he also felt that this goal was easier to achieve.

"Qingyan, how much does this house cost?"

"6000!"

"6000? So expensive? How long will it take me to earn that much? When I came here, I brought all my own money, which was only over ."

"I have more than three thousand." Ye Yi said softly on the side.

Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up, "Ye Yi, how about we buy one together?"

Ye Yi also thought her idea was good and was about to agree when she heard Lin Qingyan say:

"If you want to buy a house together, you can't just buy one, you have to buy at least two. Otherwise, you will each have a partner in the future, and how will you live after you get married? Or you can consider finding a partner and buy a house together with him or her."

Lin Qingyan said with a smile, and glanced at Xu Jianshan from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that Xu Jianshan's face was a little red, her smile became even bigger.

But she pretended that she didn't see anything. After all, the people involved didn't know about it and hadn't revealed it. She just had to wait and see.

Wang Lanlan waved at her.

"It's too early to think about a partner. I think I should consider buying a house first. Ye Yi, let's go and discuss buying a house together."

"Are you sure you don't want to think about how to make money first?"

Wang Lanlan paused while pulling Ye Yi, and turned to look at Lin Qingyan:

"Qingyan, do you have a way to make money?"

"Yes, Qingyan, what way?" Ye Yi asked immediately.

Xu Jianshan also stood by and stared at her.

“Although Ye Yi and I came to Beijing City in advance, we didn’t go around Beijing City carefully.

We can still get things that we could get in Xishui Village before. We can go and take a closer look to see what Beijing City lacks, or what Beijing City doesn’t have but we have.”

"I think hairpins and hair accessories can still be sold. Today I saw that the girls in Beijing had their hair combed beautifully, but their hair ties and hairpins were not good-looking. This can be sold."

"Yes, and scarves and hats, they don't seem to be as good-looking as ours."

Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi added one sentence each, but Wang Lanlan still led the rhythm off.

"And clothes, but I think the clothes of the girls in Jing City are also very beautiful."

"Yes! There was a girl wearing those pants. I have never seen them before."

"There's also a girl's coat, which is also very nice."

Lin Qingyan quickly interrupted and diverted the topic further and further away from the two of them.

"Let's go and have a look before school starts, and then make a decision based on the school's system after school starts. If the school doesn't let us out by then, you won't be able to make money."

Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi were a little disappointed, but they still set a goal for today, which was to earn money to buy a house. Xu Jianshan also secretly made up his mind to save money to buy a house.

A few people were planning to go sightseeing in Beijing together the next day. After breakfast early in the morning, when they were about to go out, there was an urgent knock on the door.
