 Chapter 463. Purchase properties

One night of good night. The next day Lin Qing He didn't slept in too many long. It was like this in summer. She couldn't sleep in as much as she wanted, unlike winter.

That quilt in the winter morning was paradise on earth.

When she woke up, Zhou Qing Bai had just returned with buns from Su Da Lin's side.

One can get tired of always eating dumplings. So from time to time, they would go to Su Da Lin to have buns for breakfast.

"You didn't go open the shop?" Lin Qing He asked when she saw him acting so idle.

"Third had gone over." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

This summer, the family’s business was truly supported by Third. Eldest, Zhou Kai wasn't at home. Zhou Xuan had no ambition to deal with this. He originally planned to help, but he saw that his younger brother was very strong and could take it on.

So he left him be. He tutored and went out to sketch. Simply carefree as possible.

No wonder Third complained to her yesterday, saying that he as the youngest child had no benefit at all. The first one to be enslaved.

Lin Qing He smiled: "This kid is capable."

Zhou Qing Bai had mirth in his eyes. The kid didn't want to come this morning, but was lifted up and kicked out by him.

After raising him so big, wasn't it the time to put to him to proper use? This was how the child was. The more one hold him up high, the less probability of raising a filial son. The more one uses him, the more he grows.

Of course, Zhou Qing Bai, a rough man, didn't understand this. When it was time to work, he'll just drive him out to work. It was as simple as that.

"Are you going to the Housing Management Bureau?" Lin Qing He asked.

Zhou Qing Bai originally intended to go the Housing Management Bureau by himself after bringing her food back. Now that she got up, she naturally wanted to go too.

Lin Qing He washed up and had her breakfast. "Putting aside how good Da Lin and Xiao Mei's business is, this bun got some weight to it."

Whether it was the bun flesh or the filling, it was sufficient.

"The bun shops around him can't match him." Zhou Qing Bai said. He was satisfied with the result of Su Da Lin's business lesson with him.

Nowadays, the prices had risen. The profit of the shop had also increased. Su Da Lin was diligent. Most people only sell buns in the morning. The bun shop at his side opened from morning to night. It just closed in the afternoon to nap two hours. It operated as normal in the evening until he go home to have dinner.

It wasn't just Su Da Lin's side. It was the same for Zhou Qing Bai's dumpling shop. In this summer, the price was raised by Zhou Gui Lai.

This kid got guts. When his parents weren't home, he dared to raise the price. What's more, the business wasn't affected at all.

The couple came over to the Housing Management Bureau with a bag.

Actually, the Housing Management Bureau had a lot of properties in its hands. All owners came to sell them. But in this era, people were waiting to be allocated accommodation from workplace despite the tight housing conditions and a large population crowded together.

Though there were people who sought a property and bought a place of their own, it was a tiny percentage.

Because they were buying it by themselves. Meaning they had to pay for it themselves. The current market price of a apartment was a few thousand yuan.

What did a few thousand yuan meant to a working class with salary of a few tenner?

Especially when the prices had risen this year. The house price had fluctuated a lot. It was a lot more expensive than last year. Although it was only a few hundred yuan, a few hundred yuan was the total income of the family in a year.

Even Ma Cheng Min, Huang Xiao Liu and his son Ma Xiao Dan lived with Aunt Ma. Although it was a two-bedroom house, it was a few tens of square meters. It would be a lie to say it wasn't crowded. It was alright as those who worked went to work and those who got school, attended school. They only lived in it in the evening.

When they came to buy a shop this year, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai clearly noticed the fluctuation of property's prices.

It floated up a few hundred yuan. Those location were still so-so. The better location truly fluctuated a lot.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai visited three shops in total.

There were three shops in three spots. One of them was by the vegetable market's side. That area wasn't actually big. Only a few tens of square meters. But the price wasn't expensive, about 7,000.

"You know the liveliness of the vegetable market. The owner of this shop is going to move away. Otherwise, he's really to sell. He won't accept low asking price. This is his bottom line." The administrator of the Housing Management Bureau, who brought them over to look at this place, said.

Seven thousand yuan was indeed not cheap. That house with garden where Father Zhou and Mother Zhou lived was only at this price. The location there was also good.

But this had only been a few years and it had risen to this level?

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai wanted to buy it. It was perfect for selling dried products, because there was a big market next to them.

It wasn't far from the dumpling shop. It took about forty minutes by bicycle.

Lin Qing He asked, "Are there any other bigger shops for sale?"

"Nothing." The manager flipped the book and answered.

Lin Qing He did not continue to speak. She was satisfied with the location of the shop, but was slightly dissatisfied with the size. It was a bit small.

If there weren't any bigger one, they can only renovate the shop and then separate out in a small single room.

After all, the stocks in the shop weren't cheap. She thought about it and wanted Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni to live in the shop. When the times come, the toilet faucet and kitchen needed to be made available.

Ideas were thought out by people, right?

With Zhou Qing Bai, they went to see other shops with the administrator. Lin Qing He didn’t have that big appetite. In addition to the sixth shop, the dry goods shop, she also set up a seventh shop because the seventh shop was in a good location.

Let's see what they can do when the time comes.

There was another shop which Lin Qing He didn't want, even when she knew that every inch of land would be worth more in the future. She didn't need to go for everything. Later, they can take their time. Sooner or later, her wish to become a landlady will come true.

After all, there were already seven shops, all of which were in good locations. The courtyard dwelling was pocketed. Also, that house with garden.

The apartment didn't count. It was assigned to her by her workplace. Only got the right of residence, not the right to buy or sell.

The last transaction, courtyard dwelling was introduced to them by a female administrator. The male administrator didn't know about it yet.

So Lin Qing He stuffed ten yuan over.

"Ah, this is?" The administrator was shocked.

Lin Qing He smiled and said, "It was hard on you to take us to so many places today. I wonder if there are any courtyard dwelling for sale now?  Accept it. It's for your hard work."

"There isn't any courtyard house. If you want, I will inform you when the time comes. That dumpling shop is yours, right?" The administrator was very happy. As expected of someone who bought two shops in one go. Ten yuan tips. He responded after receiving the tip.
