Chapter 28: A Mansion in the Mid-Levels
Walking up along the water stream, there are bluestone paved roads on both sides, and the stone slabs are a little brighter as the years go by, and the closer you get to the foot of the mountain, the more sparse the houses become, and gradually you can only see low bushes and tall trees, and red persimmons hanging high on the branches in the distance.
"Where's the house?" Seeing that he was about to enter the mountain if he didn't stop, Song Hongguo couldn't help but ask.
"There." Zhao Zhenhua pointed with his hand, "See?" The two tallest persimmon trees, just in the front yard, a hundred and ten years, only conspicuous in autumn, the trees are full of persimmons, Uncle Cheng does not pick it, just wait for it to be red, that is called a festive and good-looking. ”
Song Hongguo's heart was already beating faster, and she really realized what it was like to be in love at first sight.
The house was a little high, hidden behind a tree, and the long extension of the stone wall was faintly visible, but the thick branches of the persimmon tree rushed out proudly, pointing straight to the sky.
This is a proper mid-levels mansion.
"Host, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and start shooting, ......" The system jumped out to remind.
Song Hongguo happily did as it intended, and with the mood of dating her first love, she quickened her pace.
Walking closer, looking up along the steps carved out of the stone, the two old elm gates are quaint and quiet, like hermits hidden in the mountains, making people have a strong urge to explore.
The handle and lock on the door were still copper, glowing with a mysterious cold light, Zhao Baoqing caught up from behind, took out a bunch of keys, opened the lock, pushed the door hard, and collapsed first with his feet.
Song Hongguo was still standing outside the threshold, and at this moment, there was a sentence circling in his mind, it was it.
In fact, the yard was overgrown with grass at this time, looking messy and dilapidated, and there was no beauty, but she just couldn't suppress her heartbeat, and she couldn't immediately take the money, sign, stamp, and occupy the house with certainty.
But obviously, Zhao Baoqing didn't think so, he took her from the pomegranate tree in the front yard, the small pond, saw the well in the backyard, the chicken pen, and opened the door of the main house, pointed to the empty hall, and persuaded earnestly, "You have also seen this house, no one can say that the house is not good with a conscience, but your mother is not suitable to live, no one around you rely on it, something is wrong, no one hears it when you shout......
"Uncle, I like to be quiet. Besides, the courtyard wall is so high, what can it do, can it be said that there are still petty thieves in our brigade? ”
"Surely not." After Zhao Baoqing finished speaking categorically, he frowned again, "The most decent furniture in this house is worth the money, and it was moved away, and there is nothing left, but the price is said to be dead after the team discussed it at the beginning, only two hundred yuan, not a cent less, whoever buys it is this amount......."
"Then two hundred yuan, uncle, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Song Hongguo's eyes are full of houses at the moment, and he is very talkative.
Zhao Zhenhua was happy, "Cousin, what's so embarrassing about my father?" Does he think it's a bit of a loss to buy this house, and you're not an outsider, and you can still watch you jump into the pit? ”
After speaking, the conversation changed, "Actually, I think this house is worth two hundred yuan." ”
"Shut up!"
"Dad, I'm not fooling my cousin, what are you anxious about?" Zhao Zhenhua smiled, ignoring his father's eyes, and said to Song Hongguo, "I really don't talk nonsense, this house was built with a lot of effort, so let's first say that the courtyard wall, more than 50 meters wide and more than 60 meters long, is all built up of big bluestones, and it takes half a month to transport stones from the mountains." ”
"Look at this adobe again, how thick it is, more than 30 centimeters, it is still made of triple soil, strong and resistant, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and how spacious these three main houses are, they can top five other people's houses."
"There are also the beams and purlins of this house, the doors and windows, all of which are made of old elm, how solid the materials are, they are all made by Uncle Cheng little by little, slow work and meticulous work, and it will take half a month for others to build a few houses, and this house has been used for half a year!"
"Not to mention how much money was used for this tile and wood, how much is it worth to build it in the past six months? Hey, that is, I don't have it, otherwise I would like to buy it, hey, Dad, why did you still do it? ”
Zhao Baoqing slapped him on the back of his neck and scolded, "Your father is still alive, and you are worried about the separation?" I'll beat you to death if you slap it off. ”
"How can I say we're separated?" Zhao Zhenhua looked wronged, "I just boasted to my cousin that this house is ......"
"Roll the calf......"
"Uncle, I think my cousin is right, this house is really worth the money."
Song Hongguo was in a hurry to roll up his sleeves and start working, and did not hide the satisfaction on his face, Zhao Baoqing saw this, but he was very conflicted in his heart, the money lent out by the team was made by him, and then Uncle Cheng died and couldn't pay it back, he was the most responsible, he was most looking forward to the house being sold to the top account, but the high price of two hundred yuan made him feel guilty, especially the person who bought it was her niece, and there was a suspicion of killing it.
"The people of this era are really pure and simple." The system sighed faintly, "It's obvious that you picked up the leak and took a big advantage, but it's someone else who can't bear to feel guilty, where can you reason?" ”
Song Hongguo didn't pay attention to it, and seeing that Zhao Baoqing was still hesitating, he said, "Uncle, I really like it here, I want to buy it, if you really don't want to go, why don't you find a few people to help me clean it up?" ”
"That's definitely no problem, your cousin is idle......" Zhao Baoqing's eyes flashed with struggle, "Have you thought about it, don't you regret it?" ”
Song Hongguo smiled, "Don't worry, let's go through the transfer procedures now?" ”
Zhao Baoqing didn't stop again this time, turned around and walked in front.
Ten minutes later, Song Hongguo got a piece of paper handwritten by the brigade for her, yes, there was no real estate certificate and land certificate, just a piece of paper, indicating that she had received 200 yuan, and the house at the foot of the mountain belonged to her.
It's just a joke.
Fortunately, the paper was stamped with the seal of the Tomato Brigade, and the accountant of the brigade was present, which can be regarded as a witness.
"That's okay, right?" Song Hongguo still has a sense of unreality in a trance, this mansion in the middle of the mountain is too easy, she was tired and didn't live in her previous life.
Zhao Baoqing cleared his throat, he was less steadfast than her, "What, the house will be yours in the future, and your household registration will not fall into our brigade, so the procedures will be simpler, otherwise you have to go to the commune, cough cough, Zhenhua, what are you still doing here?" Why don't you help your cousin clean up? ”
"I'm the only one?"
“…… You shout Yonghui again, don't make too much movement, save others from asking questions. Zhao Baoqing sent him away, handed over the key to Song Hongguo, and instructed in a low voice, "You go over first, and then go to the house for dinner at noon, if someone asks you, don't be busy saying that it is the Li family, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Song Hongguo has no choice, she can't wait for the Zhao family to keep it secret for her.
