Liang Shouzheng saw that it was almost noon, so he asked his daughter-in-law Li Shuzhen to cook. Everyone sat in the room and talked.

Liang Shouzheng said to Du Lianqiao: "Brother Du, you have worked hard all the way. ”

Du Lianqiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard." With Yuhan taking us along the way, we didn't suffer anything. This is causing trouble for my brother here. ”

Liang Shouzheng said: "Our family doesn't speak two words. You are Yuhan's relatives, our relatives. What will happen in the future, even if it is a word.

I have prepared a house for you, and it is not far from my house.

This house belongs to one of my uncles. His children were lost in the war, and the house was returned to the village after his death the year before. There are few people in our village and there is no shortage of houses to live in, so the house has been empty and no one has lived in it.

When you came, I gave you a place to stay. I've got someone to clean it up for you, and we'll go check it out when we're done eating. If you want to build a new house, you can do it, and I will give you a new foundation. ”

Although Du Lianqiao now has some money in hand, they still have to buy grain and some daily necessities, so where can they have the strength to build a new house? Now it is very good to have a ready-made house for them to live in.

Du Lianqiao and Wang Yuqiao thanked Liang Shou again and again.

After lunch, we went to see the house together.

The house is at the westernmost end of the village, not far from the river, and is three adobe houses.

Although it looks a little old from the outside, there is no problem living in it. The house comes with a large yard in which there is also a barn and a firewood shed.

There are no people around the house, and the nearest one is Liang Shouzheng's house.

The three main rooms are flanked by bedrooms and in the middle by a hall house, which has two earthen stoves connected to the large fire kang and fire wall of the east and west rooms.

Although it is not in the far north, it is also very cold in winter, and it is much warmer in winter with a wall of fire.

Although it is an adobe house, the house is very clean, and the walls are covered with newspapers so that no soil will fall. Although there is no quilt on the kang of the fire, there are also clean kang mats. There are kang cabinets on the kang.

There is also a kang table on the kang in the east room, and there are two horizontal cabinets, a square table, and a few stools on the ground.

Overall, the house is really good, much better than the house that the Du family borrowed in Xikou Village.

Du Lianqiao looked at the clean and well-furnished house and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Brother Liang." This house is simply amazing, we have never lived in such a nice house. This is really a hassle for you. ”

Liang Shouzheng said: "These pieces of furniture were left by my uncle, they were originally meant to be given to me, and my family is not short of these, so they are still here, if you don't dislike them, they will be left for you to use." ”

Du Lianqiao hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, these are good furniture." I'll tell you the truth, I used to have only one table and nothing else at home. It's so much better than my previous home. ”

Wang Yuqiao was also very happy to see the house that was better than his previous home, and the apprehension of leaving his hometown so far also settled down after seeing such a good house.

The three Du Haifeng brothers are also very happy, in the future, there will be no one from the Du family's old house to bully them, and they can still live in such a good house, Du Haifeng and Du Haichao, who are already sensible, are grinning.

Du Yuhan was also very happy after seeing the house, and said, "Uncle Liang, I really bothered you. We can't ask for this house for nothing, we will buy it for what you think it will cost. ”

Liang Shouzheng was unhappy when he heard Du Yuhan's words, and said with a glare: "If you want to give money, isn't this a slap in the face of your Uncle Liang?"

He Zhendong also looked at his little sister, and didn't know why his little sister said such disappointing words at this time.

Du Yuhan hurriedly explained: "Uncle Liang, listen to me. Although we are here in the name of your relatives, this is only an external statement, and your relatives must know the truth.

Moreover, this house also belongs to the village, and it is inevitable that the villagers will have opinions about it, which is not good for your work. We can't afford to lose the big for the sake of the small. This is enough to trouble you, how can I bother you again. ”

As soon as Du Yuhan's words came out, Liang Shouzheng thought of those relatives in his family.

Liang Shouzheng's eldest son is in the army, and his second son is also working outside, and he will definitely not come home to live when he gets married in the future.

The daughter and the youngest son are still in school, and even if the younger son gets married in the future, he will definitely live with them, so their family doesn't need this house.

But some families with sons still want to get such a house for nothing.

This gave the house to others for no reason, and some people were certainly not happy in their hearts.

If the Du family paid for this house, others would not be able to say anything. After all, they would definitely not want to let them pay for such an old house.

What kind of eyesight is Du Yuhan, she knew that she was right as soon as she saw Liang Shouzheng's reaction.

Du Yuhan said: "I don't give much to the village for this house, just give 100 yuan, and even the house with furniture is included, don't be too little." So that everyone can't say anything. It also saves you a little trouble. ”

Du Yuhan knew in his heart that in such a remote mountain village, an old house was not worth a hundred yuan at all. But she would rather give more money than owe too much favor. This person is not good, and it is a little less to owe a little.

He Zhendong also persuaded when he heard what his little sister said: "Uncle Liang, after all, this house is not yours alone, and it is natural to collect money, and Uncle Du and they can live with peace of mind." ”

When Du Lianqiao heard this, he quickly said: "What Yuhan said is reasonable, you can't let Brother Liang embarrass you." We live in a house and give money as a matter of course. ”

Liang Shouzheng finally gritted his teeth and said: "That's okay, I'll collect this money on behalf of the village, but a hundred yuan is too much, it's okay to give thirty, after all, it's an old house and old furniture." The houses in the village are also not worth much.

When I go back, I will ask the accountant to collect the money, give you a receipt, and then record the house in your name, Brother Du. There is also your hukou, and I will go to the township tomorrow to give you a place, so that you are a veritable person from Laohewan Village. ”

Du Yuhan wanted to persuade again, He Zhendong preemptively said: "Just do what Uncle Liang said." ”

Liang Shouzheng's relationship with the He family is there, and it would not be good if he was too outside, so He Zhendong also agreed to such a method.

Du Yuhan didn't say anything more and asked her adoptive mother to take a few younger brothers to pack up her things, and she took her adoptive father to follow Liang Shouzheng to pay the money and go through the formalities, and by the way, Liang Shouzheng went to go through the procedures for registering the household.

When he went to the brigade to complete the formalities, He Zhendong took Liang Shouzheng to the township to settle down for the Du family while he had a car. Du Yuhan said that if he wanted to buy some things, he would go to the town with the car and let his adoptive father go home and pack his things first.
