Not sure if it's the luck brought by Anning, but in the afternoon after class, when selling eggs (since newborns mostly eat, drink, and sleep, there's still time to run errands), a middle-aged man approached her: "I heard you're looking to buy a house?"
An Yi looked at him cautiously: "Not strictly buying, renting is fine too. Do you have a place?"
The man chuckled, "Follow me."
Eventually, she was led to a well-decorated tavern.
"This is my family's tavern. Due to the merger of public and private sectors, among other reasons, we donated it to the state. The backyard is my home, a small courtyard: three rooms in the hall, one room on each side, a courtyard in the middle, and a water well. If you want to buy, come take a look inside. If not, forget I mentioned it. We are only selling, not renting because my whole family is moving to Beijing, so we decided to sell this property."
