Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Preparing to Buy a House Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Preparing to Buy a House Lu Yichen laughed softly, “Rest assured, I wouldn’t sell you off.”

Luo Qiao ‘hmped’ and said, “That’s more like it.”

The smile on his face made Lu Yichen’s heart feel somewhat sweet. Looking at Luo Qiao’s expression, he knew he needed to work even harder; this carefree girl was truly headache-inducing.

That evening, the three of them had a lovely dinner before going their separate ways.

The next day, Luo Qiao got up early to cook. She had told Lu Yichen the day before that she would take time off to go to the city today. At breakfast, she said to Stone, “I won’t be back for lunch, Stone. Later, take some steamed buns over there and warm them up for a simple meal.”

Lu Yichen added, “I’ll also prepare some pickled cucumbers that Sister Luo Qiao made for you. There’s water in the thermos, drink lots, and don’t let yourself get too hot.”

Stone finished the rice in his bowl, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself. Soon, Sister Luo Qiao will go to the city for school and will only be able to return on weekends. We’ll have to gradually get used to it.”

Luo Qiao instantly laughed, “Stone, you’re even more sensible than adults.”

Lu Yichen turned to look at Luo Qiao and said, “Are you suggesting that I’m not as sensible as Stone?”

After hearing what Lu Yichen said, Luo Qiao burst into laughter, “You really do jump to conclusions, don’t you? I’m saying Stone is really sensible. Who’s comparing you two?”

After breakfast, Luo Qiao went to the brigade’s office to exchange pleasantries and explain her visit. Auntie Gao just happened to have some things she wanted to send to her eldest son and said, “Luo Qiao, could you help me bring some things to your Brother Baozhu?”

Luo Qiao replied, “Sure, Auntie. Get everything ready, and I’ll take it there for you.”

Auntie Gao brought out a small bundle, explaining that it contained a set of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and some pickled vegetables to make Baozhu’s meals tastier.

The brigade leader came out with the proof of leave, handing it to Luo Qiao, “Be careful on your way.”

Luo Qiao took the letter of introduction, noting that it was for three days, and smiled, “Thank you, Brigade Leader. I’ll be on my way then.”

As she left the village, she saw Lu Yichen waiting for her at the village entrance. Luo Qiao asked, “Why are you still here? Didn’t you say you had things to do at the agricultural machinery station today?”

Lu Yichen replied, “It’s alright, it’s not urgent. It won’t matter if I’m a little late.”

Luo Qiao asked, “Brother Lu, do you know what the current housing prices are like?”

Lu Yichen was taken aback, “Are you thinking of buying a house?”

Luo Qiao softly ‘mmhm’ed and said, “I need to attend high school in the city. I happen to have some money on hand. If it’s suitable, I’d like to buy a house. Even if I don’t live there later, selling it shouldn’t incur a loss.”

Lu Yichen owned an apartment in Ji City and planned to let Luo Qiao live there when the time came. But now that the girl mentioned buying a house, it wasn’t right to rashly suggest she live in his house.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Why don’t you look up my comrade-in-arms, Ding Xiangdong, at the city’s housing authority? Tell him I sent you, and he will help you find a suitable house.”

Luo Qiao responded, “Okay, you sure have a lot of comrades-in-arms.”

When they reached the commune crossroads, Luo Qiao said goodbye to Lu Yichen and crossed the road to wait for the bus to the city.

Soon after, Lu Yichen came over, “How many days is your letter of introduction for?”

Luo Qiao answered, “Three days. I asked the Brigade Leader for a three-day leave.”

Just as she finished speaking, the bus arrived. Luo Qiao got on, waved to Lu Yichen, purchased her ticket, and found a seat.

Luo Qiao thought that if she could find a house with a yard, that would be great. Living in such a place would be more comfortable than in an apartment block, and she could even grow some fruits and vegetables.
