The next day, the headmaster took Huang Bailan to meet the landlord to notify him of moving out. The owner of the house was very kind to the mother and daughter. They stop by to check on the house every once in a while, and when they come they always have something to eat. So she said that if she got a new house, she would move out without waiting until the end of the month. As for the deposit, she didn't ask for it back. She asked them to accept it as a favor from her and their mother for being so good to them. So they nodded and said that they would just return the keys any day they went.
Finished with the house rental matter, the four of them hurried to the bus station to look at houses in the province. In the past three years, the roads have improved a lot, so Huang Bailan no longer has to ride a horse like a horse up the mountain. Day by day the traffic on the road is increasing. She wants a car too, but she doesn't know how to drive. If she bought a horse instead, she wouldn't have this headache. As for her mother, don't expect anything, it's better to live comfortably. Even the bicycle at home is afraid of riding on the road. I'm afraid I'll hit someone like that.
When they arrived in the province, they found an easy lunch to eat in front of the bus station. Then they took different tricycles to look for houses that were for sale. The teacher recommends going to the office to inquire first. They immediately went to their first destination.
After paying for the car, the headmaster led the way to inquire with the officials. Until it became known that now there are only medium to large sized houses left in the province. Medium-sized ones cost no less than several thousand yuan, and large ones cost tens of thousands of yuan as well. If there are only two people buying, the officials do not recommend buying. But Huang Bailan confirmed that he could afford the purchase and asked the official to take him to see the medium-sized house before making a decision. The officer then took the key chains and led them away.
The medium sized house had about the same space as their rented house. Huang Bailan thought that this space was just the right size for her and her mother to live comfortably. This first house is close to the office, so its price is higher than other houses of the same size. Inside there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. There is an area to grow vegetables behind the house. In front of the house you can park one car. This house used to belong to an officer who had to move to another location, so he put it up for sale. The price was eight thousand five hundred yuan.
Huang Bailan walked around and looked at everything in the empty house. There wasn't even a single piece of furniture, so he shook his head. She thought it wasn't worth the price and it was far from her school. Huang Bailan asked if there was a house near the school. Officials looked at the documents and saw that there was one house near the school. From here to there it takes about an hour on foot. It's because this province is very large. Until it seemed like each place was very far away as well. The staff advised that hiring a car would be faster. So they nodded in agreement. The officer went to call three tricycles nearby. Then he led them away.
