Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 251 House Problem

The time before parting was hasty and heavy.

Because Gu Zhan and his wife were with their child, they were the first people in the dormitory to leave the school. On the day of departure, several people in the dormitory helped to carry their belongings to the train station. Only after they arrived at the station did the rest of them slowly leave.

Hu Youfu had already turned and left, but thinking that he didn't know when they would meet again after this farewell, he turned around again, ran to the ticket gate, and shouted inside: "Gu Zhan, I wish you can realize your dream soon."

Gu Zhan, who was carrying a lot of bags, looked back at Hu Youfu who was grinning with a mouth full of white teeth, and felt his eyes a little hot. He freed one hand, waved at Hu Youfu, and pointed to his ears to indicate that he heard it.

Watching his friend enter the station, Hu Youfu finally couldn't hold back his tears.

Although the other few people's relationship with Gu Zhan was not as good as Hu Youfu's, they were in the same dormitory and had a very good relationship. Under the influence of Hu Youfu, they also felt their eyes sore.

Sitting on the train, little Gu Xinxin looked at the ever-changing scenery outside the window and happily shared the beautiful scenery in her world with Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi. Amid the children's chattering, the melancholy of parting was dispelled a lot.

Liu Xiaoxi looked at her daughter's unblinking expression and chuckled softly, saying, "Do you remember the first time we went to Beijing? Back then, Xinxin was only a little over a year old, and the journey was so long that she kept whining and groaning."

Gu Zhan stroked his daughter's soft hair and said, "Of course I remember. In the blink of an eye, you're already a child about to go to elementary school."

After a long journey, the three of them arrived at the provincial capital on the morning of the third day.

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi were both assigned jobs as university teachers, so they had to complete the relevant procedures before the school closed for the holidays.

As soon as the three of them got off the train, Gu Zhan checked into the guesthouse, left his luggage there, and then went straight to the school to report.

They were in the same university, but considering that his daughter needed a rest, Gu Zhan went to handle the formalities first, and then Liu Xiaoxi took over.

However, by the time Gu Zhan had everything ready, it was already afternoon.

He had originally planned to take the kids with him this afternoon and let his wife handle the paperwork, but he ended up being busy all by himself until almost the end of the afternoon. Gu Zhan felt guilty and bought dinner on his way back to the guesthouse.

After being tired on the train for a long time, Liu Xiaoxi and Xinxin would probably prefer to stay in the guesthouse to rest.

When he returned, as expected, the two of them had already gone to bed and slept for quite a while.

After dinner, Gu Zhan said, "I'm sorry for wasting your time today."

Liu Xiaoxi thought it was something important, but it turned out to be this. She quickly said, "It's okay. I took Xinxin to school this afternoon."

Gu Zhan was surprised: "Already been there? What happened?"

Liu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "When the school staff saw that I brought my child, they took the information and told me to go back tomorrow to confirm it."

Thinking about how busy he had been all day, Gu Zhan couldn't help but sigh. It seems that he could get a lot of care by taking his children with him. This also gave Gu Zhan a preliminary understanding of this university in Ontario.

Not bad! Gu Zhan thought to himself.

The next day, Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi went to school again.

Originally, Gu Zhan had already completed his own procedures, and all that was left was for Liu Xiaoxi to go over and confirm it this morning.

But he remembered that before reporting to the school, he had asked the school whether it could provide staff dormitories. The school said they would consider it, so he went to inquire about the situation today.

If they are not assigned a dormitory, they have to find a way in advance.

The school had long heard of Gu Zhan's reputation. Even before he started college, he had participated in the bovine embryo segmentation project at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. While still in school, he joined Li Ruguang's team and bred the "Jingyu No. 1" white-feathered chicken...

Such talents are very scarce in the school itself, so when Gu Zhan made the request, the school leaders agreed immediately after hearing it.

This made the other people present jealous and anxious. They were also teachers in the school, and they were relatively experienced teachers in the college. Seeing the house that was about to be in their hands disappear, how could they not be anxious?

One of the teachers, An Jianshe, waited for Gu Zhan to leave before anxiously asking, "Dean, weren't the houses allocated to our college allocated to the teachers here? How come they've been allocated to a newcomer who hasn't even established himself yet?"

The more people there are, the smaller the probability of them getting the house. How can An Jianshe not be anxious?

Dean Qu Hongbo looked at the others, who were silent but looked approving. He said, "Xiao An, why are you so anxious? The houses allocated to our college by the school haven't been used yet. The house given to Xiao Gu today was specially approved by the school."

"What?" Everyone sighed, and someone whispered, "Everyone knows how hard it is to get school housing these days. How can they give one to a young teacher who just arrived at the school? That's not enough experience for her."

Qu Hongbo naturally knew Gu Zhan's background, but it was inconvenient to say more now.

However, seeing these people sighing here, he sprinkled salt on their hearts: "I haven't told you yet, just look at Xiao Gu, the house he was assigned is a large two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, in the same area as the professors of the college."

……

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Gu Zhan left quickly this time. After waiting outside for a while, Liu Xiaoxi finally came out with her daughter.

"Is it done?"

Liu Xiaoxi nodded, shook the brown paper bag containing the information and said, "It's done."

Back at the guesthouse, Liu Xiaoxi looked at the bags piled on the ground. She frowned and worried for a long time before she asked Gu Zhan weakly, "Should we go out and look for a house tomorrow?"

Gu Zhan looked at Liu Xiaoxi's frowning face and said with a smile, "Why are you frowning?"

Liu Xiaoxi said weakly, "We just gave away the furniture in Beijing, and now we have to buy furniture again when we come back. It's not only time-consuming and laborious, but it also costs a lot of money. Renting a house is also difficult."

Gu Zhan scratched Liu Xiaoxi's nose and said, "You don't have to worry about your wife now."

"Why?" Liu Xiaoxi's face was full of question marks, and she looked at the man sitting opposite her in confusion.

"Because the school has allocated us an apartment, I specifically asked about it this morning and they said it has two bedrooms and a living room, which should be enough for us for now."

Liu Xiaoxi was shocked by this unexpected good news. She looked at Gu Zhan in disbelief, grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "Really? Could you have made a mistake?"

"will not."

Gu Zhan took out a key from his jacket pocket, placed it in Liu Xiaoxi's palm, and said softly, "When did I ever lie to you?"

After confirming the authenticity of the good news again and again, Liu Xiaoxi excitedly rushed over and hugged Gu Zhan's waist: "That's great."

Although he signed a four-year rental contract in Beijing, it was not his home after all and he always had no sense of belonging. Now, Liu Xiaoxi was very happy to have a stable residence.
