With the shopping system in hand, I became the richest man in the 1980s

Chapter 4 Full of motivation
The system was right. If it were not for this omnipotent ruler, he would not be able to buy or afford a courtyard house with such a good location and such a large area.

Chu Qingjiang asked the system again, "Tongzi, how much does this large courtyard cost?"

The system replied: "Not much, 50 coins will be enough."

Chu Qingjiang exclaimed in his mind: "50 coins? So expensive? Tongzi, your price is too scary! Even if I work for you for free for a year, I may not be able to pay back this money."

As far as he knew, in the early 1980s, an old and dilapidated courtyard house with one entrance would cost between 8,000 and 30,000 yuan, depending on its size and location.

(Note: After the relevant policy was implemented in 1978, many private homeowners who were frightened in previous years chose to sell their properties returned by the government and move to other places or go abroad.)
Of course, those old and dilapidated courtyard houses can definitely not be compared with this super large courtyard house which covers an area of ​​more than 3000 square meters and is decorated in such a low-key and luxurious style.

Chu Qingjiang saw the luxurious decoration of this courtyard house and the sets of rosewood and mahogany furniture in the house. It was estimated that all these must have cost a lot of money.

The system smiled and said, "Master, if you work hard for a year, you will definitely be able to pay it back. I have confidence in you."

Chu Qingjiang said with a bit of helplessness: "Okay, okay, then I'll lend you another 50, but I'll just put it on account first."

The system reminded him, "Master, a 10% annual interest will be charged for outstanding debts."

Chu Qingjiang: "Take it! Take it!"

With the 50 yuan for the house purchase, plus the one-year interest collected in advance by the system, Chu Qingjiang owed another 55 yuan for the house.

As the saying goes, too much debt is no problem.

Chu Qingjiang doesn't think about the debt now. Anyway, he has a year to work hard to make money and pay off his debt.

Even if he can't pay it back in a year, at worst he can just continue borrowing and pay it back slowly.

We must first live our current life well.

After he has settled his household registration and life in a few days, he will call back to Tieling and ask his father-in-law and brother-in-law to send his wife Song Wanrou to Beijing.

Or, if he was free, he would go and bring Song Wanrou to Beijing in person.

If he wanted to change his fate in this nightmare, he could no longer divorce Song Wanrou, who was already pregnant.

To be honest, during the time he went to the countryside, his father-in-law's family and his wife Song Wanrou were always very kind to him and took good care of him. They always gave him first priority when it came to any delicious food or drinks.

If he really wanted to do what he did in the nightmare, dumping Song Wanrou and then trying to curry favor with the powerful, he would be truly heartless.

He in the dream ended up with such a tragic end, which could be considered as karma.

This nightmare warned him that he must be down-to-earth in his future work and life, and must be worthy of his conscience. He must never make mistakes or take any crooked paths, otherwise he would only hurt others and himself.

Before we knew it, the train finally arrived at Beijing Station.

Zheng Xiangdong excitedly reached out and patted Chu Qingjiang, who was still pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, "Old Chu, Old Chu, wake up, we are back in the capital, we are back in the capital."

These educated youth who went to the countryside have been waiting for many years, and finally the day of returning home has come.

Chu Qingjiang pretended to have just woken up, covered his mouth with his hands and yawned, and said with a smile: "Finally I'm home, it's great!"

Zheng Xiangdong asked him again, "Have you notified your family to pick you up?"

Chu Qingjiang shook his head. "No, I was afraid that if I told them, they would be thinking about me and wouldn't be able to sleep well. It would be better to just go home and give them a surprise."

Zheng Xiangdong smiled and said, "I called my dad and told him. He should come to pick me up."

The two men got up, took their luggage, and got off the train.

There were so many people at the train station, all carrying large and small bags, that it was impossible to walk fast. I finally got outside the station, and when I looked around, it was a sea of ​​people.

Before Zheng Xiangdong found his father, he heard his father's familiar voice, "Dongzi, Dongzi, here, Dad is here..."

Zheng Xiangdong looked in the direction of the voice and saw his father Zheng Guohua and his second brother Zheng Xiangxi waving at him and looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Zheng Xiangdong also grinned and ran towards them, shouting, "Dad, second brother, you are here..."

The family members reunited, hugged each other excitedly and laughed loudly.

Zheng Guohua also did not forget to greet Chu Qingjiang, "Qingjiang, you are back too."

Chu Qingjiang nodded and smiled, "Yes, Uncle Zheng, I'm back too."

Zheng Xiangxi also called out to Chu Qingjiang, "Brother Jiang."

Chu Qingjiang also smiled and patted his shoulder, "Xiangxi, we meet again."

Zheng Guohua smiled and said to him, "It's good that you're back. Your parents have been looking forward to your return. Did they know that you're coming back today?"

Chu Qingjiang chuckled and said, "Before, I wasn't sure whether I would come back or not. I didn't tell them because I was afraid they would be disappointed. Now that I'm back, I'll just give them a surprise!"

Zheng Guohua smiled enthusiastically and said, "Then you can come back with us. Xiangxi and I rode a bicycle each, so we can still have a hot dinner when we get back."

After chatting, a few people walked to where the bicycles were parked.

Zheng Guohua and Zheng Xiangxi each carried one person, and their luggage was tied on both sides of the back seat, while the small items were hung on the front of the car.

after an hour.

They stopped downstairs of the printing factory's staff building.

The residential buildings for employees of the printing factory are all old-style tube-shaped buildings. The actual area of ​​each room is 35 square meters, and there are no toilets or kitchens in the houses.

Every household has built a small kitchen counter in the corridor with a cement slab on top and a lockable cabinet underneath, and a stove next to it, which is used as a kitchen for cooking.

Lin Daxia, who was cooking in the corridor, heard the noise coming from downstairs and looked down.

When she saw the familiar figure downstairs, Lin Daxia was suddenly surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly into the house: "Lao Chu, Lao Chu, our eldest son is back, please go down and pick him up, go quickly..."

She originally wanted to rush down herself, but there were vegetables being fried in the pot and she couldn't get away.

Chu Dazhui, who had just got off work and was reading a newspaper in the house, immediately threw the newspaper aside and rushed out the door when he heard his wife's shouting.

After he went out, he stretched his head and looked downstairs. As expected, he saw his eldest son. He immediately grinned and said, "Oh, it's really my eldest son who is back. Wife, please cook two more dishes."

After saying that, he smiled and ran downstairs.

Chu Qingjiang went upstairs with his luggage and met his father who was coming downstairs.

He smiled and called out, "Dad."

Chu Dazhu looked at his eldest son who was still tall and handsome, and smiled happily. He laughed loudly and said, "Little boy, you finally decided to come back? Come home quickly, your mother misses you so much."

As he spoke, he snatched the luggage from Chu Qingjiang's hand and continued, "Your mother is cooking. I asked her to make two more dishes so that we can have a few more drinks tonight."
