(Continued from Chapter 499)

About ten minutes later, I could feel a damp smell in the air, and not far away, a rumbling sound reached my ears. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info: "Could it be that the Yangtze River has arrived?" The author speculates:

"That's right, the front is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, and the confluence of the river and the sea, such a scene is rare." Xue Mei said as she parked the car, and everyone walked towards the Yangtze River with the barbecue tools......

A group of three cars and eight people came to the Yangtze River, and the author saw the scene of the confluence of the river and the sea for the first time, and was "dumbfounded" for a long time, speechless......

Just looking at the rivers and seas, it may not be worthy of praise, it is bland, and it has nothing to do with the so-called "spectacular" and "majestic" at all. But if there are boats in the river, seagulls dancing, and pedestrians strolling along the embankment...... All this in front of me is really like a "surging river", magnificent...... The boat sailed against the current, just like a fallen leaf on the river surface "aimlessly" swam away, the seagull "walked smoothly", just like a plate of paper airplanes played in the hands of children, throwing paper airplanes between high buildings, in the whirlwind, falling, occasionally the wind hangs, you can also see the downside up, the thickness of the river and the sea, so that the seagull that is like a paper airplane is so light and free, this thick and light contrast, as if showing the incomparable sense of historical mission of the river and sea, it carries too much history, but also witnesses too many miracles, Among the pedestrians on the embankment, there may be powerful business tycoons, or experts and professors in the field of knowledge, who may be able to "shout at five and six" in a certain field, but in front of Jiang Hai, it seems so small, Jiang Hai is not proud of his endless streams, and he is not impermanent with his own magnificent waves. All it can do is witness, witness and witness, "witness" too many historical legends, "witness" too many joys and sorrows......

The author stood on the edge of the embankment, looking at the calm rivers and lakes...... There was silence in his heart, but there were ups and downs in his mind, Guo Dandan saw that everyone was talking about the barbecue. The author was the only one who stood motionless, took the initiative to step forward, and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Kai...... What do you think? ”

The author was silent, just looking at the river without blinking, Guo Dandan knew the author's thoughts, and said clearly: "Just in Xue Mei's car, you have always expressed that you want to settle in this Haimeng, it seems that this place really impresses you......"

"It's true, before I came here, the road was empty and quiet. Silently, let me feel the silence of the sea, come to the edge of the river and sea, see the surging river, let me feel the movement of the sea, a small city, but the movement can be so distinct, I don't love this city. There's really no reason for it! The author said with a sigh:

"What about your work in Wu Xi? Is it hard to give up? I had already asked Xue Mei over there just now, Haimeng is a county-level city. But there is no such thing as a psychological counseling center, and if you come here, it means that you have to give up the work of psychological counseling! Guo Dandan kindly reminded:

The author turned his head, watched the sea breeze blowing the hair on Guo Dandan's forehead, and said with a slight smile: "Guo Dandan, I won't tell you." Since Professor Ai Shijiao and Jiang Ji left, there is really no place worth my nostalgia in the Wuxi City Psychological Counseling Center. Even if there is a psychological counseling center in Haimeng, if I want to settle here, I will definitely not enter such a unit. This kind of unit is boring. It's really boring. ”

"Jiang Kai, is it better to be realistic? You don't have a job, even if this Haimeng doesn't need too much financial pressure, but you still need expenses, eat and drink every day, water and electricity every day, ...... "Guo Dandan was also ready to persuade a little bit of the author, the author hurriedly shook his hand and stopped: "...... Don't impose your set of ideas on me, for you, although you are from Haimeng, you like Wu Xi's environment, which can give you a stable income, many years of contacts and the humanities and customs you like, but I am different, I am the kind of person who likes paradise, I do not have high requirements for life, and a little income can make me live alone very comfortably...... Forget it, you're a businessman after all, and it's really boring to tell you this......"

Guo Dandan was about to explain something to the author, and Taotao, who had been busy for a long time, trotted over and shouted at the author and Guo Dandan: "What are you two doing?" Why don't you rush to help? ”

The "help" in Taotao's mouth is because some people can't get a barbecue stove, and they can't use it normally for a long time, and the stove can't be born, so they can't barbecue, adults may be okay, the children are all in a hurry, some are crying that they are hungry, and some are shouting that they want to eat chicken wings, everyone feels very uncomfortable, Taotao said bluntly: "Big writer, you go with me to the supermarket to buy some alcohol and ignited things, Guo Dandan, you quickly calm down the noisy children." ”

Guo Dandanwu went to lead the children to play games, and the rest of the adults were still working hard to light a fire, while the author was pulled into the car by Taotao and went to the supermarket to buy some barbecue fuel supplies.

As soon as the author got in the car, Taotao was blunt and asked straight to the point: "Great writer, listen to Xue Mei, do you have any plans to stay in Haimeng?" ”

"I have plans to settle down." The author said disappreciatively:

"Yes, are you going to buy a house?" At this time, Taotao had already started the car, and asked the author while driving:

"You should buy a house! Rent...... There's always something that makes for a short stay. It's a little bit out of the way for me! After a little thought, the author said:

"Not bad! Have courage, I support you......" Taotao said over there, the author was quite surprised, he was not particularly familiar with Taotao, and he never expected that she would express her attitude so easily when she settled in Haimeng.

"How do you support me?" The author asked weakly:

"How can I support you...... It depends on whether you, a great writer, accept my support......" Taotao seemed to have something to say.

"Let's just say it!" The author, who really has the intention of settling in Haimeng, heard Taotao say this, and became interested, so he couldn't help but put his body right, looking like he was listening.

"My grandmother left me a house, and I can transfer it to you at a discount...... Taotao said:

"Your grandmother left you a house? Is it that kind of old house? You will transfer the old mansion to me? The author felt a little unbelievable and asked:

"Great writer, what do you think of beauty! Now Haimeng is also doing urban planning. Don't be too sought-after for the old house, once you have such an old house in your hand, no matter what, when it's your turn to demolish, at least three houses, don't think much about this! This is what my grandmother left me. It was a previous demolition house, when there was a real estate developer, to develop a group of sea view houses, my grandmother's old house happened to be in the location of the development, the developer gave two sets of plans at that time, the first set is cash, how much is your old house worth, I bought it with a lot of money, and the second set of plans is to give the house. The developer doesn't want to build a sea view house, the value of the sea view house is very high, so if you want a sea view house, the developer will give you a set. At that time, almost all the neighbors on my grandmother's side asked for cash, and the reason was very simple: if your old house was demolished, you would have to change the sea-view house, and you would have to put money into it. Ordinary people don't have money, so it's better to ask for cash. And at that time, the compensation given by the developer was very high, and basically the cash given could buy two houses in the center of Haimeng, so why not do it? Of course, you are willing to ask for cash! But my grandmother was the only one who didn't want to and insisted on a sea view room. Her children couldn't understand why she was doing this, and my grandmother said bluntly, 'My wife is buried here, and I won't leave him.' I'm just living here, what's wrong? I can't call the shots about my house yet? My grandmother's children couldn't resist my grandmother, so I finally asked the developer for a house. The developer was also a little caught off guard by my grandmother's decision, how to say it? Sea view rooms are generally villas. The area is large, and the cost of various properties such as property is very high, even if you can afford it, you may not be able to afford it. So when the developer mobilized everyone to demolish, he didn't expect the people to want a sea-view house, and when my grandmother mentioned it, the developer really didn't know what to do! At that time, the developer invested in building a sea-view house in Haimeng, and he did not have much confidence in the consumer market of Haimeng, and he did not know whether this sea-view house was popular with the market, and he was the first to eat crabs. People', so for my grandmother such a sudden change, the final developer weighed the pros and cons, gave a mini villa compensation, this villa is also considered to have two floors, no underground garage, upstairs and downstairs add up to more than 120 square meters, this size is the greatest care for my grandmother, but the developer also warned my grandmother, said that the property fee is not cheap in the future, the 120 square meters of the house will be the right to make up for your old house, but the future cost has nothing to do with the developer! Looking at this compensation plan, how do my grandmother's children look at it is not cost-effective, others take the demolition money, go to the city to buy a 120-square-meter house, not to mention, but also leave a deposit that can buy a 120-square-meter house, how to say that even if you eat, drink and have fun in this life, even if you take it, and my grandmother, just take this 120-square-meter sea view house and have nothing, when it comes to where to go, I feel that my grandmother suffers! But my grandmother just has no regrets, but unfortunately when the sea-view house was not built, my grandmother died of illness! Tao Tao took a breath and explained the origin of this house to the author.

"Sea view room?" The author asked a little incredulously: "You don't live in such a good house?" How did you come up with the idea of transferring it to me? ”

"Great writer, you don't know. My grandmother knew that her children were against the house, and in order to prevent her sea view house from being sold by her children, she inherited it to me by name. I don't know why, when the sea view house was delivered, I felt that it was a little uneven, but it was not the kind I liked. In addition, my husband and I are both working in Wuxi, and it is impossible for us to live back in Haimeng, so this house is also empty...... "Taotao said:

"Then you're not going to sell it...... author said.

"Great writer, to be honest, the developer developed this sea-view house, there is really not much market, more than 200 villas, and finally sold more than 10 sets, the developer for this house is basically a drag, and there is no money to hire property, so the entire villa area is equivalent to abandonment, many villas that have not been sold, overgrown with weeds, and some of the grass has been almost as tall as people! Without later maintenance, the public facilities of the entire villa area are basically stagnant and backward, and it is pitch black at night, which is very frightening. I just want to give the house back to my aunts and uncles, and no one will take it over! How so? That villa is a burden. If you want to maintain it, then you have to ask someone to weed and repair it, and if you don't maintain it, the whole house will be like a ghost house for a long time! Great writer, don't you specialize in horror novels? I think this is the best place for you, so I'll ask you. Do you want to buy my sea view house? Taotao asked with a little embarrassment:

"Oh...... Keep saying that you want to support me, dare to do it for a long time, are you going to transfer your non-performing assets? The author jokingly said:

"Gotta ...... Great writer, look at what you said, dare to love me as a mercenary villain? To be honest, if you didn't say that you were going to settle in Haimeng, I wouldn't have wanted to resell my sea view house at all, to be honest, my grandmother's purpose for leaving me was not to let me transfer it to outsiders. But you are my friend, and secondly, you are a creator, and you also write horror novels, for this kind of environment, you are the most suitable, and I can rest assured that you can transfer it to you, after all, you can love it and maintain it. This can be regarded as an explanation to my grandmother, if my grandmother knows about it. The sea-view house she worked so hard to get turned out to be a ruined appearance, and she couldn't see it. Taotao said honestly:

Taotao saw that I was silent, and then added: "The sea view room is really good, although there are few people living there, but how to say that the scenery is beautiful!" It is especially suitable for you to create and write, and I will give you a reference. It doesn't matter if you buy it or not. ”

"Yes! Where is it? If you have a chance, take me to see it. The author said:

"It's better to hit the sun another day, my sea-view room is near here, why don't I take you to see it now?" Taotao suddenly changed her words and said:

"Now? What about barbecue? They're still waiting for our fueling alcohol! The author said with some surprise:

"Out of the way, how much time does it take to look at a house? Fifteen minutes is amazing, right? Don't look at it now. After a while, I have to arrange a special time to come and see, isn't this delaying everyone's effort! Taotao says:

The author saw Taotao say this, thinking that this sea view room should not be too far, after all, this is the intersection of the river and the sea, take a look at the 120 square meters of mini villas, if it is really suitable, it is not in vain, so the author nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let's go and see!" ”

Taotao slammed the steering wheel vigorously, turned a corner at the intersection in front of him, and drove directly into another intersection.

Baolong Villa: Haimeng, the city's first and only villa area, built in 2007, is the Haimeng mouth of the "dragon", the reason why it is called so, is because when the developer developed this area, wanted to combine the legend of the dragon around the week, with "Bao" to respond to the auspicious Rui of the "dragon", as a result, this development, so that the developer not only failed to "keep" the dragon, but also made himself a stupid "stupid" dragon. There are a total of 200 villas in Baolong Villas, but only 26 are sold at the sales office, and nearly one-eighth are vacant. Coupled with poor management in the later period, the original area carefully created for the upper class of Haimeng became a place frequented by thieves and homeless people, but later, the thieves stole everything that could be stolen, and even the thieves didn't like to come, and then later, because it was close to the sea, there were more and more mosquitoes, and the homeless people were not willing to come here to "shelter from the wind and rain". Although Baolong villa has sold 26 sets (including a set of Taotao grandmother), but the actual occupancy is about 5 sets, it is not that the people who bought it do not want to live, it is really inconvenient, the supporting facilities can not be described as "backward", can only be described at all, not to mention buying vegetables and eating, even if you want to take a walk, there is no way to get down, the surrounding wild grass is overgrown, mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, it is not a pleasant place.

Taotao drove the car, took the author straight into the Baolong Villa, there was no guard, no surveillance, and no other pedestrians were seen along the way, and there were occasionally some sketch buildings, and it was vaguely possible to see that this was once the shadow of the villa area.

Through the car window, the author looked at the side-by-side villa outside the car, the building that was supposed to be white has turned mottled yellow under the "rage" of the sun and rain, and the doors and windows of the builder are either broken glass or dusty, which seems to make people feel that this is a forgotten corner. Just as the author was engrossed in looking at the "scenery" outside the car, the car suddenly stopped, and I saw the car parked in front of a separate house that was much smaller than other side-by-side villas, "Great writer, it's here!" This is my grandmother's house! Taotao turned off the fire, got out of the car and said:

The author got out of the car in a panic, looked at the villa that was going to be smaller, and couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really miniature enough!" ”

"As a villa, it may be a lot smaller, but if it's your bachelor apartment, it can only be described as spacious! Great writer, read it first and then talk about it! I think...... You're going to love ...... here," Taotao said, pulling out a bunch of keys: (To be continued.) )
