Chapter 328: Barely able to move in with a bag
Xiao Zhengqing was very happy to learn that Liu Xinyu had not only US dollars but also pounds in her hands.
Although the listed exchange rate can only be exchanged for 2.2 to 2.3 dollars per dollar, the black market can be exchanged for 7, 8 dollars, or even higher.
However, there are relatively few people who need pounds, but equally few people have pounds, so pounds are also popular on the black market.
After asking about the amount of foreign currency Liu Xinyu had in hand, Xiao Zhengqing pondered for a long time and finally made a new offer for the first-in-a-square courtyard: "Six thousand, plus five hundred and fifty US dollars, four hundred and fifty pounds."
Liu Xinyu calculated the price in her mind. Based on the listed exchange rate, Xiao Zhengqing had indeed lowered the price, and it had dropped to less than 10,000 yuan, or even less than 9,000 yuan.
But as a result, Liu Xinyu basically had no foreign currency left on her hands.
However, she doesn't plan to go abroad in the short term, nor does she want to buy anything large that requires foreign exchange. There is no point in keeping so much foreign currency on hand. Buying the courtyard house is the real deal.
Of course, we can't agree to the price quoted by Xiao Zhengqing so easily, and we will definitely have to bargain again.
Of course, the room for bargaining this time was relatively small, and Liu Xinyu didn't like bargaining that much. In the end, he only canceled two fractions of the foreign currency, but it also made Xiao Zhengqing feel bad.
If he didn't want Liu Xinyu to know how popular foreign currency was on the black market, he would really rather reduce the RMB by another five hundred than lose the fifty US dollars and fifty pounds.
The two parties made an appointment to go to the real estate management department to go through the ownership certificate transfer procedures the next day. Before leaving, Xiao Zhengqing simply handed the key to the courtyard that he entered to Liu Xinyu.
Watching Xiao Zhengqing leave happily, Liu Xinyu and her party returned to the courtyard they entered.
Several people looked at the house carefully inside and out again. Fang Qia said with great envy: "This yard is really nice. It is much better than Hong Liang's house. It needs almost no repairs, just a little tidying up.
Just buy some necessary furniture and you can move in."
Zhang Hongliang nodded in approval.
Liu Xinyu had no intention of buying this yard before. He thought Liu Xinyu didn't like it. Unexpectedly, he finally decided on the yard, and they became neighbors again.
Although he can continue to be neighbors in the future, Zhang Hongliang still feels a little regretful and disappointed. With this courtyard, Liu Xinyu is afraid that he will never live in his courtyard again.
Liu Xinyu's next words made Zhang Hongliang instantly elated: "Let's go. No matter what, no one can live here for the time being. We have to clean it up and add more furniture. We won't be able to live in it for ten days and a half. Go.
Take a look at Brother Zhang's yard. Before the yard is cleaned up, I will always stay with Brother Zhang for a while."
Liu Xinjian opened his mouth, but did not say anything against it.
This yard is not theirs now. Even if the formalities are completed tomorrow, they still have to tidy up, plan, and add furniture. They can't even sleep on the ground without a bed!
Walking into Zhang Hongliang's yard, the yard is very regular, but the area is much smaller than the previous yard. The main room has the same three rooms, but there is no wing room. There are two east and west wing rooms. The door opens on the right side, and the two rooms on the left have reverse seats.
There are two rooms, one is used as a kitchen, the other is used as a place to store some sundries, and there is an osmanthus tree planted in the center of the patio.
There is no well in the yard, but tap water is provided. The overall environment is not as good as Liu Xinyu's courtyard house.
However, to be able to buy such a courtyard house in the capital on his own, Zhang Hongliang has some ability and vision.
There was a tenant in the east wing. Although he only rented one room, Zhang Hongliang simply avoided the east wing and took Liu Xinyu and Liu Xinjian to visit the main house and the west wing.
After the tenant left, Fang Qia specially hired someone to clean the house, so both the main house and the west wing looked very tidy.
There are three main rooms, the middle one is obviously used for dining and entertaining guests, and the left and right rooms each have a bed, a table, a cabinet and two wooden chairs.
Although it is relatively simple, it can barely be moved in with a bag.
"My things are stored in this room. There were many tenants in the past, so I basically lived here. In March, I heard Hong Liang say that he was going back to Beijing, so I didn't renew the lease with other tenants. Since last month, I have only
As for the female guest in the east wing, I have no choice but to go back to my own home first." Fang Qia opened one of the rooms in the west wing, pointed inside and explained with some embarrassment.
Liu Xinyu pursed her lips and smiled, and walked into the other room in the west wing. The furnishings were not much different from those in the main room. Now she only needed to spread a mat on the bed to sleep.
Liu Xinyu turned to look at Liu Xinjian: "I plan to move here for a few days so that I can clean up the yard nearby. What do you think?"
Liu Xinjian curled his lips in his heart. What else could he think of? He couldn't let his sister live alone in this courtyard with Zhang Hongliang.
Bah, bah, bah, isn't there a female guest in the east wing? How could she be alone?!
But even if there is a female guest living in the east wing, Liu Xinjian still has to live here with Liu Xinyu.
But Liu Xinyu is right when she says that it is really convenient to live here, as you can clean up the courtyard next door.
As long as they hurry up and clean up the courtyard next door, they won't have to live in Zhang Hongliang's house and can move into their own home earlier.
Thinking of this, Liu Xinjian felt at peace. He stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said, "Where my sister lives, I will live there."
Liu Xinyu glanced at Liu Xinjian silently, "Okay, as long as you are happy!"
So the matter was settled like this, Liu Xinjian temporarily lived in the west wing, and the two main rooms belonged to Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang respectively.
After some discussion, several people took action separately.
Liu Xinjian and Fang Qia rode bicycles to Changchun Lane to pick up their luggage, while Liu Xinyu, accompanied by Zhang Hongliang, went to a nearby market to make purchases.
Although people have always lived in Zhang Hongliang's yard, there are still a lot of things that need to be purchased.
The mats needed for sleeping must be bought, but the quilts are not needed. Liu Xinyu has already told Liu Xinjian to bring over the thin quilts and blankets from Changchun Lane.
Now that Zhang Hongliang has returned to the capital, he cannot eat out all the time, so the kitchen must be fully equipped.
After running back and forth several times, by the time Liu Xinjian and Fang Qia arrived with their luggage, Liu Xinyu had already prepared lunch.
Although it is not too rich, Liu Xinyu's cooking skills are really not simple, and a few simple dishes make everyone feel like having a big meal in a restaurant.
"I didn't expect that Dr. Liu is not only good at reading, but also has excellent cooking skills! It seems that I will have to live here every day in the future. Such a blessing is not in vain!" Fang Qia rubbed his stomach that was a little full.
He said with a satisfied look on his face.
Zhang Hongliang secretly rolled his eyes and said to himself: "I don't even dare to think this way, but you have a pretty good idea! If you have the ability, you should keep Liu Xinyu here for a long time!"
Liu Xinjian was more direct. He gave Fang Qia a big look and said, "I don't even dare to ask my sister to cook for me every day. Who do you think you are? Get up and wash the dishes with me!"
He said and lightly kicked Fang Qia.
Fang Qia laughed heartily. He wanted to be lazy, but Liu Xinjian stared at him. In the end, he had to sigh and wash the dishes with Liu Xinjin.
