Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Second Floor of the Small Building (Part 2)

After another busy half-month, we still couldn’t find the perfect place—either the houses were some distance apart, or really far away from each other. Finding two adjoining houses just wasn’t easy.

Tang Zhengde and his brother Tang Mingli were very persistent in this aspect and would rather wait to buy than settle for houses that were too separated. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

If the houses were next door to each other, it would be easier to look out for one another in case something happened.

One day, Tang Mingli got a tip from a friend about a single-story house beside a two-story building, with the two properties sitting right next to each other. The two-story building was newly constructed not long ago, while the single-story was an older house yet to be replaced.

Upon hearing this, Tang Mingli immediately dragged Tang Zhengde to check it out. It just so happened that Tang Yue was off on the weekend, so Tang Mingli pulled her along as well, and Tang Jun, eager to join in the fun, naturally followed.

Zhang Hualian was at the shop, organizing things.

Tang Mingli had a very good relationship with his friend. They spoke directly to each other, and the friend led them to a location in the county town, slightly distanced from the first middle school, which seemed a bit remote from the city center as it stands.

Tang Yue carefully recalled the changes in Wangjiang County from her previous life; this area seemed to become the largest shopping mall later on.

When they arrived where the houses were located, the single-story house looked somewhat worn but was still made of brick, whereas the two-story house looked quite new on the outside.

The single-story and the two-story house were right next to each other, just a short few dozen meters from the entrance of the alley.

Both houses had excellent natural light, and even if they weren’t new, one could feel comfortable as soon as they stepped inside.

Tang Yue quietly discussed with her parents and uncle, concluding that if the price was right, there couldn’t be a better option than these houses.

With an idea of what he was willing to pay, Tang Mingli began to ask the homeowners for their prices—the single-story house for sixteen hundred, the two-story house for a doubled price, three thousand two hundred dollars.

"That expensive?" Tang Zhengde couldn’t help but take another look at the single-story house again. It was north-facing with south-facing windows, comprising four rooms with a kitchen and storage room at the back, and further behind lay a stretch of mountains and woods, with bamboo and trees.

Once inside the courtyard and going further in, there was a large yard with ornamental trees planted, which looked quite pleasant.

The two-story house had the best design of the time, spacious and well-proportioned.

Tang Mingli only felt that the house was a bit too big.

Tang Yue said, "Uncle, although it’s a bit large now, in the future, when you marry little aunt and have children, it won’t feel so big anymore."

"That’s true." Tang Mingli thought about it and suddenly felt that the house wasn’t too large after all. Moreover, after searching for so long to find two adjacent houses, it wouldn’t be easy to come across another opportunity like this, where both neighboring homeowners wanted to sell.

Thus, Tang Mingli asked his friend to negotiate the price with the homeowners, and in the end, they purchased the properties for fourteen hundred and eighty dollars for the single-story and two thousand nine hundred and ninety dollars for the two-story house.

That very afternoon, after paying the money, the houses were transferred to their names, and at the same time, Tang Jun’s household registration was also conveniently moved under the new house’s registry.

"It’s great, I can go to school in the county when I’m in the second grade of junior high," Tang Jun said excitedly, adding, "Sis, from now on, I’ll have an urban household registration."
