Chapter 154: Buying a House
Hanging up the phone, Chen Dahe stretched out his finger and gestured, and then excitedly picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Ministry of Culture.
"Hey, Sister Liao, I'm Chen Dahe. ”
"Oh River, is there something wrong?"
"That's what you said last night, I contacted the American side, and when the time comes, they will arrange for a New York Times reporter to receive you at the Tokyo airport and accompany you throughout the interview, so that's fine. ”
"Of course there's no problem, it's a good thing, it's helping us do publicity," Liao Xueping said with a smile, "I can approve this kind of interview, just go back and talk to their team leader, Dahe, it seems that the American company you serve is not small, and it is still a big newspaper to find a good reporter to interview so quickly." ”
"It was a coincidence, but I actually wanted them to find someone to accompany the troupe, and then they thought it was good news, so they recommended it to the New York Times, and it just happened to be together. ”
"Anyway, the problem has finally been solved, you have worked hard for Dahe, and when the performance troupe comes back from the successful completion of the performance, I will ask you for credit from above. ”
"You don't need to ask for credit," Chen Dahe hurriedly refused, he didn't plan to work here for a long time, "Besides, I didn't do anything, if you want to say that there is merit, it is everyone's work, like these artworks and the materials of the art troupe are all done by Sister Wen and them, and a lot of detailed work also has Brother Zhang's help." ”
"Everyone must have contributed to the results, but if you didn't contact the foreign party, we wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly and smoothly, so if you want to take credit, don't be modest, by the way, I forgot to ask, how are you recovering now, have you recovered?"
Chen Dahe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's okay, I've been discharged from the hospital today." ”
"Oh, it's okay, you have a good rest, I still have something to do here, you can come to the unit and talk later." ”
"Uh-huh, goodbye. ”
Hanging up the phone, Chen Dahe stood up and stretched his body, just as Sissi came over and asked him to go out for lunch.
Several people sat around the dining table, Ma Anguo took off his apron, shook his head and said, "I said Young Master Chen, it's not a matter for you to live here, I am cooking for you today, this old man and Sissi can't do it, what do you eat every day." ”
Guan Sanlao's face flushed, "I'll steam rice steamed buns, and then make two side dishes." ”
Sissi also blushed, "I'm learning to cook, and I haven't learned it yet." ”
Kim Belle also raised her little face, "I won't do it either." ”
Only Chen Dahe shook his chopsticks and didn't care, "It's okay, I don't live here permanently, I'll go to the restaurant in the next few days, hey Brother Ma, your skills are good, it's rare to have a few men like you who have good cooking skills." ”
"That's," Ma Anguo said triumphantly, "I learned from the people in the cooking class, and I was so hard at all." ”
Chen Dahe glanced at him, "It can't be that I made some mistakes and was assigned to the cooking class." ”
Ma Anguo's face stiffened, and he glared at him dissatisfied, "If you don't open a pot, you really can't chat." ”
Chen Dahe suddenly laughed and ate happily with his rice bowl.
After eating with a smile, Ma Anguo drove back, and he had to help Chen Dahe ride the tricycle back over there, no way, who told Chen Dahe that he was the only one who knew him with a driver's license.
Guan San insisted on washing the dishes alone, so Chen Dahe and Sissi took Jin Bei'er to sit on the kang in the main room and chat.
After a while, Guan San walked in, and Chen Dahe hurriedly beckoned him to sit on the kang.
But Guan San shook his head, stood solemnly in front of the kang, bowed slightly and said, "Dahe, I went to look for a house in the past two days, and there are indeed a few of them, but the yard is not big, and it is dilapidated, and it needs to be renovated before it can be lived." ”
"House?" Qian Qian looked at Chen Dahe in surprise, "Brother Dahe, do you want to buy a house?"
"Well," Chen Dahe nodded with a smile, "If you want to come out to live, the place I rent now is not very convenient, so I want to buy a set directly, and I am asking Guan Lao to look for it outside in the past two days." ”
"That should cost a lot of money," Sissi looked at him worriedly, "where did you get that much money?"
"Earned," Chen Dahe patted her hand, "I'll tell you later." ”
Chen Dahe looked at Guan San again, "Guan Lao, isn't there a better set?"
Guan San said hesitantly, "Yes, yes, but it's far away." ”
"Where?"
"The Wudaokou area," Guan San was a little embarrassed, this was the first thing Chen Dahe gave him, but it didn't work out, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Chen Dahe was stunned for a moment, known as the center of the universe Wudaokou? It is a good place, surrounded by more than a dozen key universities, the academic atmosphere is extremely strong, and later generations gathered people from more than 100 countries to live here, ideas and customs collide here, it can be said that it is a small global village, the only one in the world, there is no other semicolon.
However, what made Chen Dahe know Wudaokou was not because of these, but because of the housing price known as the first in the universe in later generations, the price of one square meter here is enough to change a set of 100 square meters in his hometown, and with this, the title of the center of the universe is well deserved.
However, it is indeed a bit far from the National People's Congress, three or four kilometers in a straight line, and it is even farther to walk.
"Wudaokou is still far away?" Sissi said with a glare, "It's just a matter of a few miles, and it's only ten minutes to get there by bicycle, so what is it?" ”
"Isn't it far?" Chen Dahe blinked, "It's going around for more than ten miles." ”
"It's close to you," Sissi said with a smile, "It's a big deal that you ride me there every morning when I go to class." ”
"Well, this is a solution," Chen Dahe nodded, looked at Guan San and said, "Guan Lao, how about the house?"
"Okay," Guan San said immediately, "I've been to see the big courtyard with four entrances in front and back, and two back gardens, one large and one small, which are three or four times larger than this old mansion of the Li family." ”
"Heh, there is such a big house for sale?" Chen Dahe glared, "Didn't you arrange for someone to live inside?"
"I've been to see it," Guan San shook his head, "It's really uninhabited, although it's a little old, and the garden is empty, but it's also neat and clean, even the weeds in the garden have been removed, and the pond is clean, oh, I've also seen the deed, there's no problem, the asking price is a bit high." ”
"How much?"
Guan San will stretch out a slap, "Fifty thousand." ”
"So expensive?" Sissi exclaimed, his father's salary was only more than 50 yuan a month, and how long would it take to save 50,000 yuan.
Chen Dahe also gasped, this price is indeed expensive, as far as the Li family's old mansion is a house, if it is put up for sale, it will be about 10,000 yuan, if it is a large compound like the kind he rented, he can buy a set for three or four thousand, and 50,000 yuan is enough to buy more than a dozen sets, even if the house is relatively large, it can be sold for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, even if it is the top of the sky, and the price of 50,000 yuan can be opened, either the lion opens his mouth or does not understand the market.
"Brother Dahe, forget it," Sissi pulled Chen Dahe's sleeve, "This money is too much, let's find a smaller one." ”
Guan San also nodded with a red face, "Dahe, I'll go out to look for it in the next two days, and I should be able to find a more suitable one." ”
Chen Dahe waved his hand and smiled, "Money is not a problem, the key is that this house is worth this price, and there can't be any trouble, I always have some doubts about whether there is something wrong here, such a big house, it is so empty and no one lives there, no matter how you look at it, it is not normal, I have to find someone to ask first." ”
