Chapter 7: Selling Grain

Sell grain

Zhang Yu couldn't help but worry about Yingzi.

Although because of her appearance, Yingzi's fate was changed and she was saved from doom, but her life was saved, but she may fall into gossip.

Zhang Yu found a place by the pond and started to wash clothes, but she was worried about Yingzi in her heart, she didn't know much about this girl, because she died tragically in the book, she only knew that she was good friends with Zhang Da Niu, but I learned from Er Niu's mouth that during the time when Zhang's grandfather died, Yingzi had been helping Zhang Da Niu take care of family affairs, and she had been with them since then. So Yingzi should be a very kind and righteous girl.

At this time, the village chief's wife came to fetch water, saw Zhang Yu, and said with a smile: "Girl, look, I just said that it is very good to publicize here, and any of them are willing to buy your rice?"

Before Zhang Yu could answer, a fat woman next to him was surprised and said, "What? Does the big girl's family still have rice to sell now? ”

Zhang Yu replied: "Yes! Aren't there three acres in the field? ”

"Isn't that still down yet?"

Zhang Yu: "You can sell it if you don't beat it!" Which of you would like to buy? ”

Fat woman: "This hasn't been beaten, how can it be sold?"

Zhang Yu said the conditions.

Everyone immediately discussed, "It will be harvested in a month, big girl, it's not too late for you to beat down the rice and go to the city!" Now it's sold like this, it's not cost-effective. ”

Zhang Yu sighed: "No way, Erniu and Xiaobao will start school in a month, I must settle their home in the city before they start school."

Everyone was surprised: "Settle down? Didn't your grandfather's friend take you to their house to live? You don't want to live on your own, do you? ”

"People helped bring us to the city, moved our hukou, and helped our younger brothers and sisters find schools, which is enough trouble for others, and how can we live in other people's homes."

"Where are you going to live if you don't live in someone's house?"

"Rent a house for the time being! This is all over the city. ”

"You don't need money to rent a house? What's more, you don't even have a problem with food, what do you use to feed your younger siblings? ”

"Isn't it time to do business now! I can earn money to feed them. ”

"Big girl, you're too naΓ―ve, is it so easy to make money? I also rent a house to live, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. ”

"Big girl, I think you still don't want to go to the city, just stay in the village, no matter what, farm your own land, you won't starve to death, and the house is ready-made, so you don't need to spend money to rent."

"Why don't you go, it's good in the city! People will help to find a job for the big girl, and the big girl will be a city person who eats commercial food in the future, and then find an aunt in the city, and then the days will be beautiful! ”

Zhang Yu was most concerned about selling rice, and she diverted the topic: "Grandma, aunts, sisters, my rice must be sold, you can help me inquire, who wants to buy it, and the house, I also plan to sell it."

"Big girl, you have to think about it, don't stay in the city by then, there is no way out."

"I'm just going to push myself to the point where there's no way back."

Selling the house was Zhang Yu's temporary idea, but when she said it, she thought it was okay, anyway, she made up her mind not to come back, and it was useless to stay here, so she simply dealt with it together, leaving more money on hand, after they entered the city, she also had a good plan, if the money was not abundant, she would shrink back from anything, and in the end she would not be able to do anything.

The village chief's wife persuaded: "Big girl, don't worry, step by step, the rice can be sold, but the house is kept for the time being, and it will not be too late to sell it when you gain a firm foothold in the city in the future."

"Auntie, we will definitely have a good life in the city, I think about it, I won't come back in the future, now I need money, just sell the house!"

"Big girl, how much is the house going to sell?"

This question stumped Zhang Yu, she didn't know the prices of this era, and she didn't know how much her house was worth.

"Tell me about this, how much it costs to build a three-room room like ours now."

"Your house, the earth-wood tile house, was built by your parents when they got married, and it's been almost fifteen years now! You're not going to sell new ones, are you? ”

"It's okay to live in a house like ours for seventy or eighty years! Now I have lived in it for fifteen years, how can it be considered seventy percent new! ”

The village chief's wife said: "You are right, it can be regarded as seventy percent new, not to mention that your family takes good care of the house, and when your grandfather is here, it has to be repaired every year."

"Auntie, how much does it cost to build a new one?"

"Fifteen to three thousand dollars!"

"How can it be twice the price?"

"You see, wood and tiles, as well as doors and windows need to be bought with money, there is a difference between good and bad, others, the earthen wall is built up with a soil foundation, this most people are made of their own and mud molds, build walls, beams, shelves, tiles, these are all done with the help of the villagers, not counting money, just a few meals, waiting for other people's families to have something, go to work by themselves. Girl, your family, even if you build it now, it will cost 1,500 yuan at most. ”

"That's a new house of 1,500 yuan, with a 7% discount, and it's still worth 1,000 yuan."

"Big girl, you can't count it like this, even if you only live in it for a year, it's still an old house, in the countryside, the old house can only be counted below three folds, so your house is worth five hundred yuan at most."

"No, it won't! It's only worth five hundred dollars! ”

"Yes! Whoever wants to buy an old house to live in is a new house to build, because in the village, most of the houses are built by their own efforts, including wood, which is also secretly cut by themselves, carpenters, and most of the people invited are acquaintances, and the fees are small, so building a new house actually costs about 1,000 yuan. ”

Zhang Yu: "Five hundred is five hundred, if anyone needs it, come to me, I don't believe that no one will want such a cheap house."

In the countryside, there are many sons and a strong labor force, of course, you don't have to worry about building a house, but there are always some families with weak labor force! In addition, there is no money, so it is not possible to save some points.

At that time, the industry of decoration was not promoted, otherwise, the old house, decorate the inside, and it would be no different from the new house.

Zhang Yu was slowly washing clothes, while chatting with everyone about their family selling houses and rice, and counting the benefits of buying rice and buying old houses with everyone one by one.
