Chapter 27: Buying a House
After Song Hongguo followed and left, the three concubines of the Zhao family couldn't help muttering anymore.
"Before his third uncle led people into the door, I thought it was a young man from Shanghai, who would have thought that it was a child of the aunt's family, not to mention, take a closer look, the eyebrows and eyes are really a bit similar, I heard that the aunt was the most hand......some in the village when she was young."
"Sister-in-law, it's not good for a woman to be handsome, she has to be blessed, otherwise she won't have a life, the second grandfather wanted to keep her aunt at home, who can think that she has her own ability, found a worker outside, and pitted the second aunt, and thought she went to the town to enjoy the blessings, but the result was ...... Tsk, I don't think it's as good as the second aunt, at least I didn't throw my child into the hands of my stepmother. ”
"Second sister-in-law, don't let your father hear this, no matter how you say it, it's also our aunt, it's better to respect it."
"What aunt, we've been cut off for so many years, and we haven't had any contact with the Li family."
"Isn't that my aunt gone......?"
"What about the children of the Li family? The Zhao family is their own family, who has been in our house for so many years? ”
“…… Wasn't that just one? ”
"People are here to recognize their relatives? Didn't you hear it, people came to buy a house, and even changed their surname, and they were not members of the Li family for a long time, but her life was good, just by looking at her face and dress, she knew that she had not suffered a crime outside, and she enjoyed great blessings. It's generous, it's a handful of candy when you dig it out, sister-in-law, you shouldn't let Mantun and Dahua go out in the morning, look, you didn't share it just now, right? ”
“…… His second aunt, don't let my mother hear this, I don't know how greedy my children are, take advantage of everything, and let the neighbors know the joke. ”
"Hehe, what's the joke, I don't believe that others are not greedy, our father is still a recognized person in the team, isn't it rare to have that smoke?"
“……”
Song Hongguo couldn't hear these words, she was following Zhao Baoqing along the stone road in the center of the village to the mountain, just saw two sets, she was not satisfied, the house was too dilapidated, she had to make a big move, not to mention, the most important thing is that the yard is small, and it can't accommodate the garden and vegetable garden in her heart.
A few minutes later, Zhao Baoqing pushed open a wooden door and led her into another courtyard, "What do you think of here?" The house doesn't need to be cleaned up, the yard is spacious, and three rooms are enough for your mother. ”
This time, Ling Zhidu was moved, and quietly pulled Song Hongguo's arm, gave her a look, and asked her to ask the price.
Song Hongguo motioned for him to look at the front and back, left and right, there were people living all around, trapped in the middle, could it still be clean?
Ling Zhi's enthusiasm was extinguished at once.
"What? Or is it a mismatch? Zhao Baoqing frowned when he saw that she didn't move a little on her face, "Although our brigade is a little far away from the commune, it is a good place with mountains and rivers, if it weren't for the disasters in the past two years, some people haven't survived, and these places can't be empty, what do you want?" ”
Song Hongguo smiled obediently, "The surroundings are cleaner, the yard is bigger, and the house is better neat, uncle, is there such a thing?" ”
Zhao Baoqing didn't speak for a while, took out a homemade cigarette from his pocket, struck a match, lit it, and took two puffs.
Zhao Zhenhua, who came with him, suddenly said, "Don't say it, there is really a place." ”
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Baoqing glared at him, "How can there be any other houses in our team?" ”
Zhao Zhenhua didn't care about his father's warning, and said with a hippie smile, "Why is it gone?" Isn't Uncle Cheng's house still sold? His family lives at the foot of the mountain, no one around him, no matter how clean it is, the yard is big enough, and the front and back add up to more than three acres of land, not to mention the house, there are few in the whole team who can pay more attention to it. ”
Hearing this, Song Hongguo suddenly became interested, isn't this her ideal type?
Zhao Baoqing was very opposed, "That house is not good!" ”
Song Hongguo was puzzled, "Where can't you?" ”
Zhao Baoqing didn't speak, Song Hongguo thought that the house was not clean, there were some taboos and something, but he listened to Zhao Zhenhua and said, "It's the price." ”
"Huh?"
"Hehe, if it's an outsider, if it's sold, it's sold, but don't you call me cousin, my dad can still pit his niece?"
Song Hongguo asked curiously, "That house is very expensive?" ”
Zhao Zhenhua nodded, with a look of emotion, "It's quite expensive, I can't say it without looking at my father?" ”
"How much exactly?"
Zhao Zhenhua stretched out two fingers.
"Two thousand?" Song Hongguo was shocked, two thousand words are indeed not cheap.
"Ahem!" Zhao Baoqing choked on smoke.
Zhao Zhenhua also had a choked expression, and after a while, he said speechlessly, "Cousin, two hundred is outrageous, how dare you guess that it is two thousand?" ”
Houses in the city don't dare to ask for this price.
Song Hongguo didn't know the price of the house at this time, so he humbly asked, "How much are the two houses I saw before?" ”
"Fifty bucks."
“…… What about here? ”
"Eighty." Zhao Zhenhua crossed his fingers and explained to her, "How much does it cost to build a new house?" The homestead does not cost money, the stones used to lay the foundation do not cost to go to the mountains to pick, the adobe and thatch do not cost money, the wood used for windows and doors, and if you have trees at home, you don't need to spend more money, the only place to use money is labor, if there are many brothers in the family, even this can be saved. ”
As soon as he said this, Song Hongguo understood, "Then you said that Uncle Cheng's house is two hundred yuan...... Could it be a brick house? ”
Zhao Baoqing took the words, "The adobe ones, the tiles hanging on the roofs of the three main houses, and the bungalows on both sides are not." After speaking, he added, "The walls of his courtyard are all made of stone, two meters high." ”
Zhao Zhenhua followed closely, "The beams and purlins are all old elm, they have been brushed with persimmon paint several times, and they can be used for a hundred and ten years, and the doors and windows are also made by Uncle Cheng himself, he is a carpenter, and he is particular about the work, by the way, there is a well in his backyard, well, there is a small pond in the front yard......"
The more Song Hongguo's eyes lit up the more she listened, and she couldn't help urging, "Cousin, lead the way." ”
Zhao Zhenhua went to see his father's face, and when he saw that he didn't object, he turned around and walked ahead with a smile.
Song Hongguo picked up Ling Yuan, held Ling Zhi with the other hand, and followed closely to inquire, "What about Uncle Cheng's family?" ”
"No," Zhao Zhenhua said in a low voice, "Uncle Cheng and his family came from other places, and there were no children around, Aunt Cheng left first a few years ago, and Uncle Cheng left last autumn, do you know why the house has to be sold for two hundred?" Because Uncle Cheng spent a lot of money to see a doctor, and borrowed it from our team, who wants to spend the money and still doesn't keep it, who will pay the debt? You can only use the roof of the house, if the asking price is not so high, then I don't know how many people want to grab the house. ”
“…… A lot of people want to? ”
"Definitely, when you see it with your own eyes, you will know that I am not telling lies."
