Chapter 66 Oven
The next day, Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan agreed to go house hunting together.
Having already visited the Chu family yesterday, Su Nuannuan knew the way. When Su Nuannuan arrived, Zhao Yalan had just finished breakfast.
"Nuan Nuan, you're here."
Today, only Zhao Yalan was home in the Chu family. Ji Lan and Chu Wenzhu went to work, and Chu Mingxia took Chu Huaying to their maternal grandfather's house.
Therefore, when Su Nuannuan arrived, she only saw Zhao Yalan.
"Yes, Sister Yalan, I might have to trouble you today."
Su Nuannuan smiled at Zhao Yalan.
Ever since she learned about the suitable house yesterday, Su Nuannuan has been too excited to sleep. After all, this is the first time she has bought a house in both her past and present lives, and Su Nuannuan is still very excited.
Although she hadn't slept well all night, Su Nuannuan was still full of energy the next day and came to find Zhao Yalan early.
Zhao Yalan waved her hand.
"No trouble at all. The owners of the house happen to be home today. I already talked to them yesterday, so we can go take a look now."
Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Let's go check it out now."
Zhao Yalan nodded, locked the door, and led Su Nuannuan to the other side.
The door opposite is made of red solid wood. Although there are some paint chips, you can tell that the owner takes good care of it.
Zhao Yalan knocked on the door knocker; the metallic clanging sound was crisp. Su Nuannuan could clearly hear hurried footsteps inside the door as soon as the knocker sounded.
Soon, the door was opened.
The woman who opened the door was about the same age as Zhao Yalan. She had fashionable curly hair that was draped over her shoulders, and a purple dress made her look very elegant.
The woman smiled when she saw Zhao Yalan.
"Yalan, you've come."
Zhao Yalan seemed very familiar with women, and said with a smile.
"Meifang, I've brought some people to see the apartment."
Wang Meifang glanced at Su Nuannuan next to Zhao Yalan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Yesterday, Zhao Yalan came to her, saying that someone was willing to buy their house and asking if she was willing to sell.
They were certainly willing. She and her husband were about to study abroad and wanted to sell their house to raise some money. They had previously approached many people, but all thought their house was too expensive and wanted a lower price. However, they had spent a lot of money renovating the house. Selling it too cheaply would be a bad deal.
Those with money complained that their houses were too small, while those without money complained that their asking prices were too high. As a result, the houses have not yet been sold.
Zhao Yalan told her that someone had taken a liking to their house. She and her husband were very happy.
However, to her surprise, the person who came to buy the house was a young girl who looked like she was not yet an adult.
"Yalan, are you sure it's this young lady who's here to buy the house?"
If she hadn't known her neighbor's character, Wang Meifang would have thought Zhao Yalan was deliberately playing a trick on her. However, she still couldn't quite believe that the person buying the house was a young girl.
Seeing the disbelief on Wang Meifang's face, Su Nuannuan knew she had to say something. Otherwise, Wang Meifang definitely wouldn't believe she was there to buy a house.
"Hello, comrade, my name is Su Nuannuan, and I'm a student at Beijing University. I really do want to buy a house. Don't worry, I'm not a scammer. If the house satisfies me, I can pay for it today." After hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Wang Meifang looked at Zhao Yalan again.
Zhao Yalan nodded to Wang Meifang, indicating that Su Nuannuan hadn't lied to her. Only then did Wang Meifang feel relieved and let the two of them in.
When Su Nuannuan came in, she was observing her surroundings.
As Su Nuannuan walked in, she stepped onto a bluestone path, and upon entering, she was greeted by a courtyard full of greenery. A narrow path paved with bluestone led from the courtyard to the main house.
The road is lined with lawns, and many flowers and plants are planted around it. Although it is still dry, the flowers and plants here are well cared for and look very delicate. On one side of the bluestone slab, there is a small wooden pavilion with a stone table and benches underneath. Next to it is a square water tank filled with pebbles. Turtles are lying on it, and goldfish are swimming around in the water, looking very relaxed and carefree.
After seeing Wang Meifang's attire, Su Nuannuan initially assumed the house would be decorated in a more modern style. However, she was surprised to find it leaned towards a traditional Chinese pastoral style.
Compared to the Chu family's courtyard, Wang Meifang's courtyard was much closer to nature. Su Nuannuan fell in love with the courtyard at first sight.
She wondered what the room's decor would be like. Su Nuannuan couldn't help but feel excited.
The three of them walked through the courtyard, and Wang Meifang led the two of them to see the room.
The courtyard house wasn't very big for a family of several people. However, it was quite large for Su Nuannuan alone. Su Nuannuan glanced around and roughly estimated that the house occupied more than 300 square meters.
As Zhao Yalan said, there are four rooms in total. These four rooms are located in the four cardinal directions of the courtyard, and they all have the same layout. In addition to these four rooms, there are actually three small cubicles, each only about 20 square meters, which are used as a kitchen, a bathroom, and a toilet.
After confirming that Su Nuannuan was genuinely interested in buying the house, Wang Meifang carefully explained the layout of the house.
They first went to the living room. As they walked in, Su Nuannuan noticed that she was standing on a single slab of marble. Shock flashed in Su Nuannuan's eyes.
It's important to know that this single marble slab is extremely difficult to move; it can easily break. Furthermore, it's very difficult to cut.
How did they manage to cover the entire room's floor with marble? There's no such technology in China yet. Su Nuannuan was very puzzled.
However, before she could even ask, Wang Meifang gave her the answer.
“My father-in-law brought this floorboard back from abroad. Several pieces were broken in the middle, and it took a lot of effort to get it.”
After Wang Meifang finished speaking, Su Nuannuan understood.
Unlike China, foreign countries are currently experiencing a period of rapid economic development, resulting in a proliferation of all sorts of strange and unusual things. It's not uncommon for people to come up with the idea of using marble slabs as flooring.
Looking at the floor so clean it reflected a person's image, Su Nuannuan felt it was perfectly reasonable for this house to be priced higher.
After examining the floor, Su Nuannuan's attention shifted to the layout of the living room. The living room was simply decorated, with wooden furniture and cabinets arranged throughout. However, Su Nuannuan noticed a large display window containing many exquisite teacups and tableware.
After looking at the living room, the three of them went to the small cubicle next door.
"This house is being used as a kitchen; you are welcome to come in and take a look."
Wang Meifang pushed open the door, and Su Nuannuan noticed that the kitchen floor was also made of marble. She guessed that the other rooms probably had similar floors. After carefully observing the kitchen's layout, Su Nuannuan's pupils dilated sharply.
"Oven...bake!"
Wang Meifang glanced at Su Nuannuan in surprise. She hadn't expected Su Nuannuan to know her. You see, although many places now have electricity, many people in China still can't afford electrical appliances. Besides the high cost, it's also because China's technology is lacking. They haven't developed their own brands, and they can't buy imported ones.
This leads to many people having only a superficial understanding of electrical appliances, let alone ovens from Western countries.
