Chapter 113 Preparing for the Return Trip
The journey from the Gu family's house to Qian Duoduo's stall was very short, and Gu Yanxu drove back in no time.
When he returned, Bai Tang was playing chess with her grandfather inside the house.
Because Lin Fan and his team kept losing, they let Bai Tang win one round.
Gu Yanxu thought they were playing Go, but when he went over to take a look, he found that they were playing Gomoku.
The reason Lin Fan and his friends kept losing was that the old man always took back his moves.
When it was Bai Tang's turn to play against him, Grandpa Gu was too embarrassed to take back his move, so Bai Tang won the game against him.
Lin Fan shouted from the side, "Hahaha, you're really something, sister-in-law!"
Bai Tang looked up and saw that Gu Yanxu had returned. She stood up and gave her seat to Lin Fan and the others.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu discussed on the side that when they went back, their parents and grandfather would all be in the RV.
Bai Tang said, "The four of them drive an off-road vehicle, and it's inconvenient to take my parents and grandfather with me when we need to rest."
Our RV is more convenient; at least it has more space.
The RV that Bai Tang prepared has three beds for resting, and each bed is equipped with a privacy curtain.
There's absolutely no need to worry about privacy, so adding three more people would be more than enough.
Noon arrived quickly, and Mr. and Mrs. Gu returned home from get off work.
Mother Gu walked into the house and said, "We've finished handing over our work, so you don't need to go to work anymore."
I can pack my things at home and wait to leave with you. How did the house sale go?
Bai Tang set out the food in the restaurant, then came out and said:
"We have found a buyer, and he said he will proceed with the transfer of ownership depending on our schedule."
I offered 29,000, and he paid the full amount upfront.
Mrs. Gu said in surprise, "So fast? Could it be a scam?"
Gu Yanxu walked over and said, "Mom, don't worry, we pay in cash on delivery."
See if you're free tomorrow morning. We can go and complete the transfer of ownership with them and settle the payment on the spot.
They only moved in after we left.
When Gu Yanxu was taking Qian Duoduo home, Qian Duoduo said:
"I plan to keep this courtyard for myself and my sister to live in, and we will move in after you move out."
Then Gu's mother said, "I'm free tomorrow morning, so I can go with you to handle the transfer. Just don't get scammed."
Grandpa Gu came out of the living room: "Isn't dinner ready yet? My stomach is growling."
Bai Tang said, "Let's eat, let's go eat."
During lunch, Bai Tang said to Gu's mother:
"Mom, when we go back, you, Dad, and Grandpa will stay in our RV."
There are beds in the RV, which is more convenient, and you can get a good rest when you want.
Mother Gu said, "Okay, we'll follow your arrangements and won't cause any more trouble."
After lunch, the outside temperature continued to rise.
Bai Tang was worried about whether they could return to the Shengshi base before the temperature rose too high.
Because in my previous life, the temperature soared to fifty or sixty degrees Celsius during extremely hot weather.
But things are different now; there's a buffer zone.
However, one thing is certain: the temperature will continue to rise.
.....
The day passed quickly in the sweltering heat.
When the sun went down in the evening, Bai Tang and the others had dinner and told Bai Jiyang and Lin Feng to go back first.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu drove to Qian Duoduo's house.
The group agreed to go to Qian Duoduo's house that evening to pick up the gold.
Gu Yanxu drove to Qian Duoduo's house, got out of the car and knocked on the door.
A voice quickly came from inside: "Who is it?"
Gu Yanxu said, "Gu Yan, I'm here to pick up something."
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu both left behind false names, so even if someone investigates, they will not be able to find such a person.
When Qian Duoduo heard Gu Yanxu's voice, she quickly opened the door and let Bai Tang drive the car into the yard.
Gu Yanxu asked, "Have you prepared what we need?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Of course I'm ready."
Bai Tang shouted in her mind, "Mu Mu, it's your turn to do your job soon. Tell me which piece of gold is fake."
Mu Mu replied, "No problem, I've got it covered."
Bai Tang and Qian Duoduo said, "We need to inspect the goods, since we've encountered counterfeit goods before."
Qian Duoduo said, "Okay, come inside with me."
After the two entered the house, they saw the gold that Qian Duoduo had prepared.
Most of them are gold jewelry, and a small portion are gold beads.
Bai Tang leaned closer and looked at it knowingly, but actually Mu Mu was exploring the space.
After looking through them, Mu Mu said, "Sister Tangtang's products are all genuine, there are no fakes, you can buy them with confidence."
Bai Tang then spoke to Qian Duoduo, saying, "That's right, I checked and it's all real gold."
Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know much about gold either, but thankfully his friend hadn't tried to scam him.
Gu Yanxu said, "We agreed to exchange snow fruit for gold."
I'll go outside and load it into the car for you. You can also weigh it.
Gu Yanxu quickly brought in a bag of snow fruit and weighed it.
Qian Duoduo said, "The weight is correct."
Gu Yanxu said, "Once this is done, there's still the house issue. I wonder if you'll be free tomorrow morning?"
My family members are available tomorrow morning and can help you with the transfer of ownership.
We're moving out the day after tomorrow morning, so you can move in without worry.
As agreed, we'll leave all the furniture behind.
Qian Duoduo quickly replied, "Yes, yes, we have time."
You left behind quite a lot of things, which is also a sum of money. Let me add some more for you."
As he spoke, he went to get a bag, opened it, and found that it was still filled with gold.
Qian Duoduo said, "These are the extra I collected. I'll give them to you now. It's about a pound. Don't think it's too little."
Bai Tang didn't stand on ceremony, reached out and took the things, and then said, "Let's make friends and benefit from each other."
Gu Yanxu said, "Don't forget to go to the base center tomorrow morning."
Qian Duoduo replied, "Then let's meet at the base center tomorrow morning."
After seeing the two off, Qian Duoduo closed the door and went home.
...
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu drove back to the temporary dormitory building, and the two went upstairs to Chen Weiliang's room.
When they arrived, the door was open. The two went inside, where there were quite a few people, all collecting information.
Bai Tang and the others had no choice but to join the queue, but it was soon their turn.
Bai Tang provided basic information about Gu's mother, father, and grandfather.
Chen Weiliang said, "Are you planning to take your whole family away?"
Bai Tang said, "Yes, we're worried about them here, so we're taking this opportunity to go back to our Shengshi base together."
Chen Weiliang quickly registered the three people's information and then let Bai Tang and the others leave.
Back in her room, Bai Tang took the canned food out of the space and left it in the living room.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu went back to their bedroom to wash up and rest early.
I have things to do early tomorrow morning, it wouldn't be good if I couldn't get up.
