Chapter 55: Two Good Houses
In the next few days, Zhou went out early and came back late every day, and Gu Xiaoyou couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
She originally wanted Zhou and Liang'er to live in a big house with her, but she didn't expect it to be such a hassle.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at the breakfast left on the table and decided to talk to Mr. Zhou in the evening, or if she should come find a house and let Mr. Zhou take a rest.
After making a decision, Gu Xiaoyou quickly finished his breakfast and walked to the medical center to open the business.
At noon, in the hospital.
Gu Xiaoyou was nibbling on the steamed buns he brought from home in the morning, along with cold dishes and lunch.
While eating, he teased: "Who would have thought that a rich man like me could eat so simply?"
Gu Xiaoyou was amusing himself when the sound of hurried footsteps came.
She raised her eyes and said happily: "Sister Zhou, why are you here?"
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "I'm here to take you to see the house. I found the house you want."
"Really? That's great." Gu Xiaoyou quickly stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his mouth.
Only then did Mrs. Zhou notice what she was eating and said distressedly: "Why do you eat so simply? I'll cook you some vegetables and we'll go after dinner."
Gu Xiaoyou chewed a few times quickly, swallowed the steamed bun, and waved his hand.
"No, I'm done eating."
"Okay, I'll give you a good supplement tonight." Zhou said helplessly, looking at the food on the table with a rare look of disgust.
"Okay Sister Zhou, let's go."
Gu Xiaoyou wiped her mouth nonchalantly and took Zhou's arm to leave.
"Don't be impatient, just close the medical center before leaving."
Gu Xiaoyou secretly stuck out his tongue and closed the medical clinic together with Mrs. Zhou.
The two locked the door of the medical clinic, and Zhou walked towards the north, with Gu Xiaoyou following her.
"Sister Zhou, where is the house?" Gu Xiaoyou asked as she walked.
"In Ruining Hutong, not far from the paper shop."
"Ruining Hutong..." Gu Xiaoyou thought for a moment and couldn't remember what Ruining Hutong looked like.
Gu Xiaoyou shrugged: "I have never been to Ruining Hutong."
"It doesn't matter, you will definitely like it after reading it." Zhou said confidently.
It was rare for Gu Xiaoyou to see Mrs. Zhou looking so confident: "Okay, I believe you."
She secretly decided in her heart that even if she was dissatisfied, she would not say anything and let Zhou rest while she would look for him again.
With such a mood, Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou came to Ruining Hutong.
As Zhou said, Ruining Hutong is not far from Youlian Paper Shop. When you walk into the alley, you can see the street where the paper shop is located.
Entering Ruining Hutong, Gu Xiaoyou was attracted by the scenery in front of him.
In the hutong, tall trees are planted in the yard of every house, and their branches and leaves grow outside the walls, giving a lively and energetic look.
The road in the middle is very fast, paved with scattered stones, and planted with flowers and plants on both sides. The environment is better than the houses I have seen before.
The fragrance of flowers and plants wafts in the air, making people feel comfortable.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at the environment of the alley with satisfaction. Zhou looked at her expression and felt much lighter.
"This is it." Mrs. Zhou stopped at the door of a house and pointed to the door.
Gu Xiaoyou followed her finger and looked, and a house with two black wooden doors came into view.
There were three stone steps at the door, with a pot of flowers placed on both sides of each stone step. Gu Xiaoyou climbed up the steps and gently pushed open the wooden door.
The wooden door made a soft creaking sound and slowly opened.
Gu Xiaoyou looked into the door expectantly. Mrs. Zhou on the side was always observing her expression and looking at her expectantly.
Gu Xiaoyou blinked a few times, took a deep breath, and looked at the house with bright eyes.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Mrs. Zhou asked anxiously: "Xiaoyou, how is the house? Do you like it?"
Gu Xiaoyou turned his face sideways and showed a bright smile.
"I like it, I like it very much."
She had never seen such a beautiful house.
Gu Xiaoyou said, stepped into the house, and started walking around the house.
Seeing Gu Xiaoyou's happy expression, Mrs. Zhou finally let go of her hanging heart, and looked at Gu Xiaoyou looking around with a smile.
Gu Xiaoyou first ran to the main room, opened the door, and saw sunlight pouring into the room. The layout of the room was exquisite, and the furniture was brand new.
She walked around inside and found that there was a small cubicle in the main room where she could take a shower and use the toilet.
Gu Xiaoyou walked out of the main room with satisfaction and looked at the two side rooms. The layout was basically the same as the main room. There were also two small compartments, which were slightly smaller than the main room.
After looking at the three rooms, Gu Xiaoyou found a semi-open room and asked curiously: "Sister Zhou, what kind of room is this?"
"Oh, it's the main hall, where we eat." Zhou introduced simply.
"main hall……"
Gu Xiaoyou walked into the main hall out of curiosity and looked around. There was only one window in the main hall, a round table in the middle, corridors on both sides, and three rooms connected.
Gu Xiaoyou didn't expect that ancient houses were so cleverly designed and every place could be used appropriately.
She returned to the yard and looked at the whole yard.
There is a well in the yard, facing the kitchen, with clusters of flowers planted around it, and a few trees planted beside the wall, which are as tall as other houses in the alley.
Gu Xiaoyou touched the tree trunk and said happily: "Sister Zhou, the house you chose is great, so I bought this one."
"So soon? There is another one next door. Do you want to decide after reading it?" Zhou suggested.
"Is there another room? Let's go check it out."
Gu Xiaoyou stepped out of the threshold and asked, "Sister Zhou, which way are you going?"
Zhou quickly walked a few steps, pointed to a house and said, "The one with the brown door."
"Oh." Gu Xiaoyou glanced at it and walked to her right.
The two houses are very close to each other, but it takes only five hundred steps to reach the house with the brown door.
Gu Xiaoyou pushed the door open and entered. The layout of the house with brown door and the house with black door were basically the same. The only difference was that the well was in front of the main hall and some distance away from the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoyou was quite satisfied with this house. She thought about it and said to Ms. Zhou, "Sister Zhou, which one do you like better?"
Zhou smiled and said: "What I think is not important, the most important thing is that you like it."
Gu Xiaoyou shook Mrs. Zhou's arm, flashed her big eyes, and said, "I like them all, so I want you to help me choose one, Sister Zhou, okay?"
"Oh, my little ancestor, you're going to stun me." Mrs. Zhou patted Gu Xiaoyou's arm in a funny way: "Okay, okay, I'll help you choose."
"Thank you, Sister Zhou." Gu Xiaoyou smiled sweetly.
Zhou shook her head and sighed: "If I had to choose, I would choose this one. It faces south and has good light."
"Well, that makes sense." Gu Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Then buy both of them."
