“How much does it cost?” Yi Qingqing asked curiously.
Li Mengxue held up three fingers: “Three thousand! Even if you rent this house out now, each room would cost three yuan a month. There are six rooms and a small courtyard!”
Yi Qingqing nodded.
She couldn’t say whether it was a good deal or not; the market had just opened up, and there wasn’t a standard for housing prices yet!
But looking at the rent-to-price ratio, it seemed pretty good.
“I cleaned up the kitchen last week, so we can have a meal together like we’re in the countryside again!” Li Mengxue said happily.
As the birthday girl today, Yi Qingqing didn’t need to do any work; she just had to wait for the meal.
The dishes were prepared by the others.
Because the entire courtyard, except for the kitchen, which had been cleaned, was still untidy, they moved the table out to the courtyard to eat.
The lively, playful meal felt like a return to their days at the educated youth point!
“Where do you want to go after eating?” Li Mengxue asked Yi Qingqing.
“What are you playing for? Let me help you pull the weeds in this yard first!” Yi Qingqing said.
“You’re the birthday girl today, so how can we let you do chores?” Li Mengxue waved her hand.
“Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to move in, so I’ll take my time later!”
“If we don’t help you, how long will you be able to keep going all by yourself? Besides, I’m the birthday girl, so I’m in charge!” Yi Qingqing said.
This yard may be small, but it’s still a yard. Besides, it’s so dusty that it would be a struggle for one person to clean it!
“Qingqing~ You’re so thoughtful!” Li Mengxue said in a sweet, high-pitched voice.
“But we’re all wearing new dresses today, which aren’t suitable for chores. Don’t worry, I’ve already planned it out. After the exams next Friday morning, I’ll drag you all over to help me clean. I won’t be polite with you!”
“…”
Yi Qingqing rolled her eyes: “So you were waiting for us here!”
“Hahaha!” Li Mengxue laughed heartily.
“I absolutely cannot let go of you one, two, three, four, five, six, seven free laborers!”
“You have to provide meals!” Qian Lailai emphasized.
“Yes, yes, yes! Not only meals, but also lodging! You can all stay here during the summer vacation, for as long as you want.” Li Mengxue said generously.
She added, “We can all squeeze in!”
Qian Lailai waved her hand: “Forget it. The school library stays open during the summer vacation. I need to stay at school to write. You’ve already bought a house, so I also need to save some money to buy a small house in Beijing!”
“Great idea! I support you. You definitely won’t regret buying a house in the capital!” Li Mengxue agreed.
Even if it’s difficult to buy a courtyard house by writing articles, buying other small houses is still possible. With Qian Lailai’s financial resources, it’s not a problem.
Wang Lingling also said, “I plan to go back to Haishi with Shiyan during the summer vacation, and our two families will discuss the engagement during the winter vacation.”
“Qingqing, what about you? Aren’t you going home?” Li Mengxue looked at Yi Qingqing, who hadn’t spoken.
Yi Qingqing nodded: “I’ll go back during winter break.”
“Then, come keep me company!”
Li Mengxue grabbed her hand and shook it back and forth, almost making her dizzy.
“I refuse! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. I don’t want to be your cook! I have some spare money, and I’ll probably consider buying a house during the summer vacation.” Yi Qingqing said.
She would not fall for it!
Li Mengxue sighed after her little scheme was exposed: “Alright, once you buy a house, you must invite us to your housewarming party!”
Even just one meal will be fine!
