V1.Chapter 590 (1/2)
Ning yanfan and ”Xiaoyi” in grandma Yu's mouth are Grandma Yu's son. Their full name is Xu Zhongyi.
Yu's family had two waves of going abroad.
First, before the founding of the people's Republic of China, and second, in the mid-1960s, grandma Yu's son Xu Zhongyi went abroad in the mid-1960s.
At that time, the wind and rain were coming. Aware of the unusual atmosphere, grandma Yu and her husband sent the only son's family abroad. Although this move made Xu Zhongyi escape a turmoil, it also brought disaster to grandma Yu and her husband.
Xu Zhongyi wrote only one letter after going abroad. The letter was confiscated without reaching grandma. Grandma didn't know what was written in the letter. This is Xu Zhongyi's only contact with China after going abroad.
Twenty years later, grandma Yu didn't know whether her only son's family was alive or dead. She didn't wait for the news. The old lady stood up when she was ill and refused to give her life to Lord Yan easily.
Xu Zhongyi's letter was sent from San Francisco, the United States. There are a large number of Chinese living there. San Francisco is the only clue.
Ning yanfan asked for information and went to San Francisco in person, because he couldn't stay too long and got nothing.
Xia Xiaolan said that hiring private detectives and advertising in newspapers and radio stations are the most common ways to find people in future generations.
Especially the latter two, the influence is very large, and it is easy to find people.
However, the problem is also here. Grandma Yu has no money.
Grandma Yu has long wanted to sell the small building in Erqi square. Grandma Yu has seen through it for so many years. People's life is more important than money itself. She gives up the floating wealth in her hand. I couldn't find a suitable buyer to sell the small building for a while. Grandma Yu simply ”gave” Xia Xiaolan the house. What was valuable was not the small building, but the land of Erqi square.
Grandma Yu still has this basic business literacy. Now the state allows people to do business. The houses in Erqi square will only be more and more valuable.
No matter how much it will be worth in the future, grandma Yu doesn't regret it. As long as Xia Xiaolan can find someone, she will give the house to Xia Xiaolan!
”You don't have to worry about property rights. I'll take the old face out and get the other half of the property rights out of the third national cotton factory.”
Xia Xiaolan is certainly not worried about this.
When Xia Xiaolan came to the capital this time, she also saw grandma Yu's background. She knew that grandma Yu might not be a simple person before. Hu Yongcai knew that there were people on grandma Yu, otherwise it would be impossible for a lonely old woman to keep a big yard from being occupied.
Now, Xia Xiaolan's feeling is clearer.
”You don't have to worry about the house. Find someone first.”
At present, the exchange ratio between US dollars and Chinese dollars in the black market is almost 1:10. It can't be played without tens of thousands of US dollars. Xia Xiaolan decided to write a letter to San Francisco TV station first. Americans like ”stories”. She wants to tell a touching and tearful story to the TV station - hoping to save the cost of finding people.
Grandma Yu made a ”deal” with Xia Xiaolan, and her biggest worry was sustenance.
Grandma Yu also observed Xia Xiaolan for a year. The girl was worth entrusted with great things. She said things through Ning yanfan's mouth.
Xia Xiaolan guessed right. The study didn't close. It was intended for her to hear.
When everything was said, grandma Yu no longer hesitated:
”When your mother moves to Beijing, I will come to Beijing too. I used to charge you as much rent as I would give you a month. ”
Shangdu's house can also be rented out, and the rent subsidizes grandma's own expenses of ”renting a house”.
She is not taking advantage of Xia Xiaolan. Now the gap in house prices across the country is not too large, and the rent in Beijing and other provincial capitals is also similar.
It was agreed. Grandma Yu felt that her words were groundless. She asked Ning yanfan to be a witness and wrote an agreement.
Xia Xiaolan couldn't sign on it and press her fingerprints.
Xia Xiaolan really wants the small building in Erqi square, because she knows that it will be a famous business district in the Central Plains in the future. Business people know that there is a good opportunity and it's unreasonable not to pick it up. But Xia Xiaolan wanted to buy it. She didn't want to rely on ”cheating”, let alone exchange it in other ways.
It's more troublesome to find someone than to buy with money.
Xia Xiaolan has a soft heart.
