When Grandma and Youyou returned to Hongcheng, it was twelve o'clock at noon. The two got out of the car and went to the first state-owned restaurant, and happened to have braised elbows, nine cents a catty, so they quickly asked for two, and asked for a mushroom rape, sea rice and egg soup, and bought five catties of baked cakes.

The two of them ate and took it, squinting with a leisurely smile. Grandma couldn't see her unproductive appearance, and stinked her: "Interest!"

After eating, grandma took Youyou to Luo Xincai's house, they had just finished lunch, and several children went to school.

"Sister-in-law, you came just in time, and I really found a suitable yard for you. Sit down and listen to me. Luo Xincai hurriedly told his grandmother.

The yard that Luo Xincai found for his grandmother was the home of the famous "six fools" in the county. Listening to the gossip of Luo Xincai and his grandmother, Yoyo has a general understanding of the "six fools".

The surname of the "six fools" is Liu, and his name has long been forgotten. His family has been a wealthy man in Hongcheng County for generations, but he didn't know that something went wrong in his generation. His five sisters were thin and sickly since they were children, so they gave them the cheap name "Liuni".

I grew up pampered and raised, and I was sick for three days, and I never left the medicine jar. When he was eight years old, he fell seriously ill and died. In order to be happy, his parents married him a sixteen-year-old daughter-in-law, and he came back to life, and he didn't stop him from getting sick.

When he was ten years old, he was kidnapped by bandits, and he happened to be rescued by a guy who asked for food. After more than a month of wandering away with a group of beggars, his body became unexpectedly tough.

But since then, he has contracted a problem, likes to beg, and mingles with the beggars who save him all day long. His father and mother have beaten, scolded, and locked up, and all kinds of methods have been exhausted, but they have not been able to control him.

In order to keep his heart, his wife took great pains to follow him step by step, and when he was sixteen years old, she gave birth to a daughter. This didn't keep him, his wife was confined, no one was staring at him all the time, and he ran away with a group of people asking for food.

The wife was in a hurry, leaving behind the child who was not full moon, and fell ill and died in confinement. He regretted it when he found out, but he was honest at home for a few years and helped his parents raise their daughter. Later, he reverted to his old ways, so the nickname of "Six Fools" resounded throughout the county.

In the early forties, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, relying on the natural danger of the Yellow River, Hongcheng County became the anti-Japanese base of the Eighth Route Army. The parents of the "Six Fools" supported the Anti-Japanese War, and the family property was donated to the Eighth Route Army, and the house became the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The daughter also joined the Eighth Route Army and later stayed in the army.

On the eve of liberation, before his elderly parents died, they gave the rest of the family property to their five daughters, leaving him only 300 acres of land and an ancestral house.

Without the restraint of his parents, his family became a beggar's nest, and his 300 acres of land were sold in two years. Fortunately, the house was changed by her parents to her granddaughter's name, otherwise he would have to sell it.

After liberation, he was divided into groups, and he became a "blood-poor peasant" without a house and land. The land allotted to him was sold again, and he still lived by begging.

More than ten years ago, her daughter saw that he was old and his health was not good, so she took him to her side. His daughter was raised by him since she was a child, and her relationship with him is still very close.

He disliked the lack of freedom in the army's family area, and often secretly ran back to his hometown. Now in his seventies, his daughter is afraid that he will have an accident, so she came back to deal with the yard this time, just to cut off his back road.

"Sister-in-law, that house is really suitable, although it looks dilapidated, it was all built by six fools, but it is actually solid. The foundation, which is all made of stones, will not be broken for a few lifetimes.

It's the same, the place is big, there must be more than five acres, and there are three courtyards before and after. A few years ago, there were still people who could afford to buy it, who has so much money these days. The really rich people should be ruined in this yard. If you don't care, this is the right place.

I guess if you can afford it, she'll have to pay for three thousand dollars. If you're interested, I'll take you there. He and his daughter had just returned in the past two days, and they were anxious to deal with it. ”

"Brother Xincai, I know about the six fools, but I don't know anything else. Brother, you have to help me inquire clearly, there are no sequelae, after all, this is his family's ancestral house, can his daughter be the family? Grandma said worriedly. After all, in this era, in people's consciousness, married daughters cannot inherit the ancestral business.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about this, the yard was originally in his daughter's name, and besides, there are no close relatives within three generations of his family. The nearest family is either a landlord or a rich peasant, and his daughter is a soldier, who dares to worry about his broken courtyard. ”

"That's good, brother, you can show me. ”

On the way, Luo Xincai told his grandmother that he had contacted several acquisition stations and could buy a large amount of land and hair. After the day was hot, the acquisition station also wanted to deal with it as soon as possible, and the smell was unpleasant in summer. Grandma told him that when he bought a house, he would start sending random hair.

The yard of the "six fools" house, the location is really good. It is adjacent to the Ministry of Armed Forces to the east, a department store to the west, and to the north of Dongxi Street, the main street of the county seat. The high-walled courtyard, along the street slip down the house, the middle gatehouse is tall and spacious, the heavy courtyard door is mottled with black paint, and there is a small hole on it.

Luo Xincai told his grandmother that the original copper door nail was deducted and sold by him. Youyou thought to himself: It's all about the door face, the door face, it seems that he really doesn't even care about the face.

Pushing open the gate, there is a huge wall of welcoming doors. Bypassing it, the yard was a mess, overgrown with weeds, and littered everywhere. A female soldier in her fifties was packing up her things, and six fools were crooked on the Taishi chair with missing legs, lazily basking in the sun. Squinting his eyes to see the person coming, he asked, "Brother Luo Guo is here, have you found a buyer?"

The female soldier stopped, "Uncle, you're here." ”

"Well, this is the buyer I told you, come and see the house, is it convenient for you?" Luo Xincai introduced Grandma Youyou to them.

"Hello, I'm waiting for this at home. There is not even furniture in this room to sit on, so you can come and see the house first. She said with a wry smile.

"Okay, let's look at the house first. Grandma nodded in agreement and followed her from room to room.

The house was similar to the yard, with broken furniture, broken clothes, broken bricks, broken tiles, broken bowls, everything was on the edge of the tattered, and the house smelled musty.

The courtyard is really big, and the courtyard is three entrances before and after. 30 meters from east to west and 120 meters from north to south. There is a 50-meter garden at the back, with a back door in the northwest corner of the garden, and three bungalows next to it, but they have collapsed.

On the side of the house there was a well, and the high platform was made of bluestone, and it was covered with moss. The hay in the garden, which is more than half a meter high, is staggered and gives a desolate feeling.

Although the back door is broken, it is still sturdy, and the heavy courtyard gate is opened from the inside, and there is also an east-west street outside, and the street is very quiet.

Luo Xincai told his grandmother that the east is the back door of the armed forces, and the north is the county squadron and prison, surrounded by high walls. No wonder the street is unusually calm, who has nothing to eat and is full, and runs to the prison gate for a stroll.

Yoyo is quite satisfied with this, the location of this yard is too good. The front yard is close to the main street, and the street house can be changed to a store in the future. The backyard is quiet and safe, and the county squadron will stand guard for us for free, and what Yoyo urgently needs at the moment is such a secret and safe place.

Each courtyard is seven main houses, three wings on the left and right, all the houses are in front of the corridor pattern, the houses are connected by the corridor together, it is really rain can not blow, the wind can not blow the sun can not sun.

On the west side of the main house of each courtyard is the foyer, which connects the front and back courtyards. The hallway and foyer connect the gate to the backyard.

Most of the bricks in the yard are broken, and there are potholes everywhere. Luo Xincai whispered to his grandmother that he was dug up by someone who asked for food, but they dug three feet into the ground, dug all over the house and outside the courtyard, and didn't find a penny.

The trees in the yard are luxuriant, probably planted according to the rules, which makes people feel very comfortable and comfortable.

The only thing that is desirable is that the doors and windows are intact, and there is no dew on the roof. You took a closer look, this yard looks dilapidated from the outside, the wall skin is peeling, the paint is mottled, in fact, it is quite complete, at least the wall does not collapse and the roof is not exposed, the doors and windows are complete, and you can live in it.

Yoyo used his consciousness to connect with the wisdom brain, and learned that the old county seat of Hongcheng was developed into a historical ancient city and became a famous tourist attraction throughout the country. The old buildings have been preserved, and it is estimated that by that time, the rent alone will be a large income.

Grandma frowned more and more tightly the more she looked at it, "Brother, what's the matter, it's tattered and empty, it's oozing when you look at it, you better find me a small courtyard." ”

"Okay, I've also seen two small courtyards, so I'll take you there. Luo Xincai responded.

Youyou took Grandma's hand and quietly prompted: "Grandma, it's convenient for us to put things in the big yard." After listening to Yoyo's words, Grandma hesitated.

The female soldier saw her grandmother's uncertain expression and sighed: "Back then, when I was a child, how clean and comfortable this yard was, I couldn't imagine that it would be like this now." Eldest sister, if you really want it, I will give you another 200 yuan, and you should be enough to use this money to pick up the yard. ”

Grandma then said: "I'm not here to lower the price, to be honest, your yard is selling for 3,000 yuan at a loss, but it's really uncomfortable to look at." ”

"I also know, to tell you the truth, I have sold this yard for more than ten years, and I didn't even ask, and you were the first to come to watch it. This time, I had to deal with it and cut off my father's back road. The female soldier's words were crisp and clear.

"If you want to say so, I'll do it. I'll prepare money for you when I go home today, but I don't understand the transfer of the house, and you have to worry about it. Grandma made a decision.

"You can rest assured about the transfer, I have agreed with the relevant departments. All you need to do is open a letter of attestation. "It seems that there are always people who can do things.

"Okay, we'll see you tomorrow, and you might as well go back soon when you're done. After Grandma finished speaking, she led Youyou out, and Luo Xincai also followed.

"Brother, I have to trouble you to follow tomorrow to go through the formalities, I really don't understand. ”

"Sister-in-law, let's still use such a foreign way, your business is a brother's business, you can please okay tomorrow, I will wait for you with an early meal." ”
