Chapter 56: Buying a House
As the saying goes, the gold nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, and living and working in peace and contentment has an indescribable magic for every Chinese person.
It was the accompanying person Xin Gui, who didn't buy a house by himself, and his heart was pounding excitedly.
"According to your requirements, I have found several households, and if you want to talk about the conditions, this one must be the most satisfactory to you."
Xin Gui pointed to the small courtyard with a mix of bricks and earth and a tiled roof and said: "The front yard is not far from the Nancheng Market, and a little reconstruction can realize the cabbage wholesale you said, the place is wide and the transportation is convenient."
The key homeowner is going to the big city to join relatives and will not return, but there is a special condition. ”
Luo Xueyun touched the wall, and could feel an obvious sense of vintage: "What conditions." ”
"The house next door has to be bought in a package, totaling 3,000 yuan."
Don't look at this price, it doesn't seem to be as high as Luo Xueyun's total cost to build a house, but he uses genuine reinforced cement bricks, and the total area of the residential warehouse is much higher than these two small courtyards.
On the other hand, these two small courtyards add up to six or seven rooms, which looks bluffing, but in fact, even the brick houses built at the back are some years old, and the key is that there is no independent bathroom and no running water, so it is inconvenient.
Luo Xueyun thought about it, I don't come here to live, why bother about being comfortable.
I bought it now, and in the future, whether it is a clamshell or a demolition, I will not lose money.
The owner's surname is Chen, he is an old widower, his eyebrows and eyes look quite kind, and he speaks slowly.
"Grandpa Chen, can you really call the shots in the courtyard next door? I've heard people say it's not your house. ”
Xin Gui knew that Luo Xueyun wanted to buy it, so he immediately entered the bargaining process, and the vegetable market was stationed in the past few months, which was enough to turn a crop man into an expert in trading.
"Isn't it appropriate for me to take you to the street to issue a certificate?" Old man Chen smiled and said, "My brother left this house, and my nephew gave it to me when he left, although he didn't live in it for a while, but the frame is still intact, and he can move in with a little repair." ”
"We also have to spend money to repair it, how about two thousand five?"
Xin Gui was really willing to open his mouth, so angry that the old man glared at him, the two argued, the atmosphere was hot, Luo Xueyun stood up and sang red face in a timely manner, and a few grandfathers shouted comfortably, and finally two thousand eight transactions, by the way, the transfer, the note, the certificate.
The old man was indeed a warm-hearted man.
Luo Xueyun completed the formalities, bought a lot of candy and cigarettes, and distributed them to the neighbors on the street, letting them know that the two rooms had changed owners.
"Now that I've bought both, let's just connect the front gatehouse together and make a wide long space, place wooden shelves for food, and leave a place to pay at the door."
Luo Xueyun commanded: "The backyard is easy to tidy, at least restore to the point where people can live, you and your sister-in-law come to the city to play, you can live here." ”
Xin Gui hurriedly waved his hand: "Why do you live here when you walk a few more steps, of course it's comfortable to go home." ”
Luo Xueyun smiled: "You don't want to, I'm not reluctant, but in order to facilitate your coming to the city to do things, I have to give you a bicycle, you can't refuse, after all, Xinzhuang said that it is on the edge of the city, and there is still a distance." ”
Xin Gui snorted for a long time, and said embarrassedly: "Croppers are used to walking. ”
"But doing business is about efficiency, at least you ride a bicycle and negotiate business with others, and they have to look at you seriously."
Luo Xueyun said: "We still have to find a reliable candidate, who can live here often, and keep the door open during the day, if someone comes to us, we have to make a record and notify us." ”
The mouth is upright, and when the brand-new 28 big bars are placed in front of Xin Gui, he is still so happy that his mouth is grinning to the root of his ears, and he kicks up on the street.
Of course, Luo Xueyun also made a whole car, and waited for the tractor to deliver the food tomorrow and let them take it back.
Although it was said early on that the road on the slope would be bought when the road was ready, when the tractor carried the bicycle home, there was still a group of friends watching, touching this, touching that, it was very rare.
"I'll park the car at the door, you can come and catch up if you want to learn, and add one when you learn." Luo Xueyun said with a smile.
Luo Xuehui said angrily: "How can it be so easy to say, more than a hundred yuan, I heard that there are still votes, how long do you have to save." ”
"I'll take care of the ticket." Luo Xueyun turned his head to Luo Xuexiang and said, "Xiang'er, my eldest brother just added a tractor, and he has to be fined for giving birth to a child, so he won't take him seriously, you are a bachelor, and you grow vegetables and drive a tractor, how can you save your family's money, set an example for everyone, and add a car home so that the matchmaker can come to your door to tell you about your daughter-in-law." ”
Luo Xuexiang's situation is a bit similar to Luo Xueyun, both of them are the eldest brother in the family who got married first and had children, and he couldn't get along with a big family, so he was assigned to the bottom of the mountain at the beginning of the year.
He was a little angry, and Luo Xueyun was the most active in growing vegetables, and after the tractor was bought, he took the time to come over to learn, and was one of the first people to get a driver's license.
Luo Xueyun drove a tractor to deliver vegetables to him, plus selling vegetables, he didn't earn less, and he also wanted to set an example for others, look, Luo Xuexiang's brothers are very poor, they couldn't eat enough before, but now they are mixed with Luo Xueyun, and they even bought a bicycle home.
Luo Xueyun has a good life, but it can't inspire them to compare, people on the slope always feel that Xueyun has high ability and great ability, he is not an ordinary person, he should be mixed like this, and others can't compare.
It is necessary for people like Luo Xuexiang to stand up.
"I want to save up money to build a house first." Luo Xuexiang scratched his head, "The village is still easy to walk, and the bicycle is not used." ”
"How can you not use it, rushing to the market, going to relatives, bringing objects, is it more face-saving to ride a bicycle?" Luo Xueyun said, "If you want to build a brick house, you have to save for two years, so do you keep the money in your hands." ”
Luo Xueyun suddenly felt that he had become a black-hearted boss, and his tone was fluctuating.
"In this way, if anyone is the first person on our slope, whether it is a bicycle, a radio, a tractor, or a sewing machine, I will sponsor him and help him pay one to two discounts."
The young people were dumbfounded when they heard this, Luo Xuehui swallowed his saliva, and said tentatively: "If I buy a new tractor, three thousand yuan, can you give me five or six hundred?" ”
"It fluctuates between three hundred and six hundred, mainly depending on your performance."
"What's the performance?"
"Do you work actively on weekdays, do you want to earn money and live a good life, do you have any bad habits?"
Luo Xuehui shouted: "I definitely want to live a good life, it's not that I don't have money." ”
"I'll take you if you don't have any money, as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work, life will definitely get better and better."
Luo Xuehui's eyes lit up: "Brother Yun, I call you brother, is there a way to make money." ”
Luo Xueyun smiled mysteriously: "A single tree does not make a forest, a flower is not spring, I live a good life alone, it is too boring, everyone unites as one, and it is glorious to eat meat and drink soup together." ”
Wow puppet!
The young people suddenly made up their minds, and Luo Xuehui, who was brainy, asked directly: "Is it okay for our brothers to buy it together?" ”
"Leave me alone, as long as it is the first one on the slope, whether it is a partnership or my own, I will give money, of course, the premise is to buy it for my own use, but I can't buy and sell it for my two dollars."
"That can't be." Luo Xuehui couldn't hold back his excitement, and his brothers frowned.
Luo Xueyun laughed secretly, the next project requires the young men to work hard, and they have to give them some sweetness to stimulate their enthusiasm.
PS: Something heartfelt
The reason for writing this book is to see the countryside, or the countryside in my memory, the hometown that haunts my dreams, is gradually disappearing.
Times have changed, and some things are destined to change, just like dramas, which are obviously very good things, but young people no longer like them, and slowly become a swan song.
In the early years, when I returned to my hometown during the Chinese New Year, there was always a sense of déjà vu from the modern society to the old society, whether it was the living conditions and facilities, or the guidance of relatives and friends to the life of the younger generations, so there was a sense of contradiction, the hometown that could not be returned, and the emotion of leaving was imminent.
With the change of the times, these are slowly changing, whether good or bad, the hometown is destined to preserve its appearance only in memory, and the author writes these stories, somewhat nostalgic.
