Chapter 251

Without waiting for Lu Qiao to continue, Old Mrs. Lu looked around, then reached into the kang cabinet and touched for a while, took out a bag wrapped in cotton cloth, and handed it to Lu Qiao.

"Qiao, if you really want to buy that house, you must look at it first, ensure there is no property dispute, and then the property certificate can be changed to your name, and it can be bought and sold freely in the future.

Grandma doesn't have any money, just two gold bracelets, which were originally dowry for you and Lu Lu Qiaoling. If you really want to buy a house, go to the bank to exchange for money, and then I will go to your fourth uncle's house to borrow some, and finally, if it really doesn't work, let your parents borrow it."

Lu Qiao thought about it and said: "Grandma, no need to borrow, these two gold bracelets plus Qin Hengzhi's help should be enough."

Lu Qiao put the two gold bracelets into her pocket without any psychological burden.

Anyway, she wouldn't use them, just put them here for the time being.

She still had to go to the bank to know how to operate specifically.

Fortunately, there were no acquaintances at the bank. Lu Qiao didn't want acquaintances to know about this operation.

Hugging Old Mrs. Lu, she said affectionately: "Grandma, when I have money in the future, I will give you ten big gold bracelets."

Old Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and smiled: "They were originally for you and Lu Lu Qiaoling. Yours has already been given to you. When Lu Lu Qiaoling gets married, you give her a similar one. Grandma doesn't want it."

Even if she doesn't want it, she has to give it.

The little old lady didn't know how much effort she spent to keep these two gold bracelets.

Not only was there proof, but no one in the family knew.

She had to ponder how to handle this matter.

Lu Qiao said a few words to Old Mrs. Lu, then returned to her bedroom and put the two gold bracelets into the large wardrobe...

In the afternoon, she went to find Su Hongmei, worried about long nights and many dreams, and decided to go see what was going on with this house quickly.

By the way, ask if the price can be lowered.

Then she learned from Su Hongmei that someone really wanted to buy it.

But it was to buy it together, and the housing management office also loosened up, which could be separated into five households. The price shouldn't be lowered.

The house was indeed not far from the family quarters of the military factory.

And it was indeed a single-family courtyard house.

According to the saying here, it was seven blue-brick big tile-roofed houses.

Surrounded by courtyard walls, the courtyard walls were quite high, and they were all built with blue bricks.

The house wasn't built now.

It had a history of at least decades.

But it looked very sturdy.

In the front yard, there was a cherry tree and a water well.

Lu Qiao looked at the backyard. It seemed that there should have been scenery like ponds and rockeries in the past.

Because the terrain in the middle was relatively low.

But it had to be said that if this were in the city center, it would have been sold long ago.

Lu Qiao swept past all these.

She knew that since the house was for sale, it wouldn't be public, and just this part inside would be bought away sooner or later.

So, no matter what, she had to collect the money quickly.

Can't delay. Mouse One told her that she and Xiao Little Cangcang had counted, a total of twenty-nine boxes.

As for how big, these three wouldn't describe it, but they shouldn't be small boxes.

And it felt like they were somewhat similar to the boxes under the big tree in the birch forest of Yuanbao Mountain.

So this was another stronghold of the Japanese?

You know, in that era, capitalists or big landlords who went abroad or to Hong Kong weren't stupid; people had good brains.

They would take away whatever gold and silver they could; this was hard currency, and it was easy to use wherever they went.

So her analysis was the truth.

Because only then could these not be transported away after they were defeated.

Lu Qiao instructed Mouse One and Xiao Little Cangcang to stay here.

She also specifically took a few biscuits and a small handful of soybeans, and when Sister Su led her to turn around room by room, she quietly placed them in the corner.

Lu Qiao said to Sister Su: "I really like this house, Sister Su, can you tell the people at the housing management office to give me two days to collect the money?"

Sun Hongmei nodded; this was a small matter, no problem.

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that it was far from the city center and other state-run big factories, it would have been sold long ago.

This area in the north of the city was the territory of the military factory.

It just so happened that she knew Lu Qiao wanted to buy a house, so she told her this news.

Standing in the courtyard, Su Hongmei looked around and still said to Lu Qiao: "Although the house is quite good, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it. Qin Hengzhi himself has a distributed house. When his term of office here is full, he will definitely return to Beijing. By then, you will have to move."

After she went home and thought about it, she felt that buying a house for Qiao was not very meaningful.

Lu Qiao nodded. If it weren't for the fact that so much gold and silver was hidden underground here, she wouldn't be in a hurry to buy it.

The main thing was that the current way to make money was basically only this one of going to work.

And it was really too expensive, more expensive than she expected. If it were within 2,000, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Lu Qiao parted with Sister Su, and she rode her bicycle to the bank.

Halfway, Lu Qiao got off her bicycle and stood under a big tree waiting for the gray pigeon.

There were people raising pigeons near the bank, so when Lu Qiao arranged the itinerary today, she let the gray pigeon Xiao Hui go out.

Although no one suspected, and no one would think that a pigeon would go to the bank to investigate the situation, it was better to be careful.

Not long after, under Lu Qiao's call, the gray pigeon flew over and landed on the big tree beside Lu Qiao.

【Little master, I have inquired about everything. The bank has a special gold recycling counter, as well as an appraisal office, but it is not in the lobby, but in a separate office with a special clerk.】

【It won't be difficult or picky, because the bank meeting in the morning also emphasized that the gold recycling this month was less and the task wasn't completed, so let the staff below go out to publicize more, and then do a good job of confidentiality for people who come to sell gold.】

【I also heard the group leader of this counter secretly warn the female clerk named Liu Min, if someone really takes gold to exchange for money. Either they are in urgent need of money, or they are supporting national construction. Don't ask questions and scare people away. We are not a police station here. People have introduction letters and proof, and coming here is to make a contribution.】

【Liu Min whispered to others again, saying that there was no need to open an introduction letter and ask for proof, because this regulation scared away many people. As long as the gold in the other party's hand is real, it's fine. It's said that if these cumbersome things were gone, the bank's gold recycling volume would increase greatly.】

【The basic information I heard and saw in the morning was these, and then around nine o'clock, an old lady took a gold ring to exchange for money. She said her proof was lost, but she had an introduction letter opened by the neighborhood office, and she was very unhappy, saying that it was so troublesome as if her ring was stolen. If it was really stolen, would she dare to come? If it weren't for buying a red woolen coat for her granddaughter to wear at her wedding, she wouldn't be reluctant to sell the gold ring to the bank, and the price was so low.】

【At that time, another clerk wanted to criticize the old lady for low awareness, but was stopped by Liu Min. She smiled and handled the procedures, and after appraising it, put the money in her wallet, counted it clearly, signed her name, and the old lady left.】
