"Old Tang, you are a local and know many people. Do you know anyone selling houses or land nearby?" With the idea of ​​buying a house in mind, Yao Jianguo made an appointment with Tang Qi to a small restaurant the next day.

"House? Xiao Yao, you want to buy a house?" Tang Qi, who was happily taking a sip of wine, immediately opened his eyes and exclaimed.

"I have this idea. When the children are older, they can't always rent a house to live in!"

"Just a few days ago, I received a letter from home saying that the cows were sold, so I thought about borrowing some money from my parents to buy a house so that I could have a place to live!" Yao Jianguo knew that wealth should not be revealed, so he made a lie.

Lie.

"That's right. Do you have any requirements for the house?" Tang Qi knew that Yao Jianguo wanted to buy a house and was happy for their family. He had seen many people from other places who originally had great ambitions to settle down in Nancheng.

But in the end, most people were defeated by reality and either left and returned to their hometowns, or they have been renting houses and struggling to make ends meet.

"It's better to have a better location, a bigger one, and one or two courtyards." Yao Jianguo said immediately when he thought of the three people's plans for the house.

"Do you want to buy a front and back yard?" Tang Qi asked.

"It's best to have a front and back yard!" Yao Jianguo nodded.

"The location is even better, but the price is not cheap!" Tang Qi reminded.

"I know this, but the kids at home like it!" Yao Jianguo explained.

"Okay, I'll ask for you!" Seeing that he had made up his mind, Tang Qi nodded.

"Thank you then!" Yao Jianguo poured Tang Qi another glass of wine and thanked him.

"We are all friends. Don't be so polite and wait until you move into the new house. Don't forget to give me a drink while warming up the house!" Tang Qi joked.

With this direction in mind, they are more motivated to do things. Since they learned about buying a house, Yao Jianguo and his wife have worked harder, and Li Mei has increased the supply to Jiang Kuan, whether it is glutinous rice or braised Jiang Kuan.

All fully accepted and sold out.

"Xiao Yao, I've seen a few nice houses here. If you have time tomorrow, go and have a look!" More than half a month later, Tang Qi found Yao Jianguo Road on a Friday night.

"Then, I'll come find you at 9:30 tomorrow morning!" Yao Jianguo planned to close the stall after the morning market tomorrow morning.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Tang Qi had nothing to do in the morning anyway, so he nodded and agreed.

"Which one of you is going to go see the house tomorrow morning?" After Yao Jianguo returned home, he could no longer suppress his excitement and asked with a smile.

"Dad, I'm going!" Yao Feng happily took Yao Jianguo's hand and said coquettishly when he heard the news about the new house.

"You can take your two children there tomorrow!" Li Mei knew that Yao Yi was sensible. If she went there, Yao Yi would definitely choose to stay and cook.

"Mom, let's prepare the stew early tomorrow and ask Jiang Kuan to come over early!" Yao Yi opened his mouth and proposed a solution.

"Okay, let's talk to Jiang Kuan tomorrow morning!" Yao Jianguo said.

"Oh...I'm going to see the house tomorrow!" Yao Feng giggled happily.

"Hey! What are you laughing at if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? What a nuisance to the whole family. They come back at midnight every day and make others so noisy that they can't sleep? You're not afraid of spending money like this without your life..." Wang Huijuan returned to her parents' home today.

When I was picking up rice, I was ridiculed by my sister-in-law and had no place to vent my anger. Now I heard Yao Jianguo's laughter and I immediately became furious. I didn't care whether other people were resting or not. I just stood in the corner and yelled.

"What's going on with this guy? Why is he so crazy today?" Li Mei frowned and wanted to retaliate.

"Forget it, this is because our family is so loud!" Yao Jianguo was also angry, but to be honest, his family was not in a good situation. Besides, if tomorrow goes well, we won't be able to live here for a few days, and we won't be like this.

People care.

"Mom, don't be angry. When we move to a new house, let her have a good time!" Yao Yi reminded.

"Okay, go to sleep!" Li Mei always knew that Wang Huijuan was waiting for Xu Bin to come back to buy her a house, but now her family bought it first. It is estimated that if Wang Huijuan knew about it, she would be so angry that she would not be able to eat for several days. Thinking of it

Most of the anger in Li Mei's heart was gone.

Early the next morning, Yao Yi set up a stall to make braised plums. At nine o'clock, the family of four dressed neatly and walked to the agreed place.

"This is a family outing!" Tang Qi joked after saying hello.

"This is a big event after all, so of course the whole family needs to be involved!" Yao Jianguo smiled and gave Tang Qi a pack of cigarettes.

"This first one is not far from where you set up a stall. My surname is Li. My son works in the provincial capital. He has a wife here and wants to buy a house..." Tang Qi walked in front and led the way, introducing the owner of the house.

.

After walking through two or three alleys, passing seven or eight houses, and stopping in front of a house with an open courtyard door, Tang Qi shouted inside: "Aunt Li, I brought Aunt Li's housekeeper here for you!

"

"Oh, come in!" Aunt Li, with high cheekbones and a fleshless face, responded.

"You can look, but you can't touch. Just send someone in to take a look. Don't let me trample on the house!" When Aunt Li saw Yao Feng being led by Yao Yi, she frowned and explained in displeasure.

"Dad, let's forget about this!" Yao Yi knew as soon as he saw her attitude that others were taking notice of him. In this case, even if he liked the price of the house, it would be difficult to negotiate.

"Old Tang, why don't we check out the next one?" Yao Jianguo whispered into Tang Qi's ear, saying sheepishly.

"That's...ok, then you guys wait for me!" Tang Qi also felt a little sorry. He didn't expect Aunt Li to have such an attitude, so he nodded in agreement.

The four of them, Yao Jianguo, didn't talk nonsense to Aunt Li and turned around to leave. The family left for about a minute or two before they saw Tang Qi catching up with him, breathing heavily.

"This was originally said well, but I'm really sorry for what happened today!" Tang Qi finally asked clearly inside just now. It turned out that Aunt Li had made an agreement with Tang Qi, and in the end she agreed to a family from this city to come over.

Looking at the house, I saw that another group of people was about to arrive. I saw that Yao Yi's family did not look like a wealthy family, so I sent Yao Yi's family away with a bad attitude.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go to the next one!" He was asking for help, but Yao Jianguo might blame Tang Qi and quickly changed the subject.

"This house..."

"This house..."

After following Tang Qi and looking at three or four houses in succession, Yao Yi finally understood why the first house arrived at Aunt Li's house first. The following houses either had smaller yards, dilapidated houses, or poor terrain.

"This is the last second home of the day. All the old people in this family have passed away, and their children and grandchildren have jobs elsewhere and are not going back to Nancheng, so they just want to sell the house to save money." Tang Qi took several people with him.

I left the city center and walked towards the No. 2 Middle School for about five minutes, then walked straight towards the No. 2 Entrance House not far from the road.

"Dead?" Yao Jianguo repeated with a frown.

"Don't worry, the old man didn't leave here." Tang Qi explained.

"Uncle Tang, I brought this person!" As they spoke, the group of people had already walked to the door. Tang Qi shouted to the middle-aged man lying on the bamboo lounge chair under the eaves.

"Xiao Qi is here, let the guests come in and sit down!" Uncle Tang stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Tang!"

"Hello, Grandpa Tang!" Yao Jianguo shouted politely with his children.

"Oh, there are two more children here! Xiaozhi, give two apples to your younger brothers and sisters!" When others came in, Uncle Tang saw the two children blocked by Yao Jianguo and his wife, and immediately rushed to the grandson in the room.

shouted.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your kindness. No need to spend any money!" Yao Jianguo quickly refused.

"This is for the children!" Uncle Tang took the apple from his grandson, ignored Yao Jianguo and his wife, and directly stuffed the apple into the hands of the two children.

"Thank you, Grandpa Tang!" Yao Yi couldn't help but smile and say thank you.

"This two-story house is about 260 square meters in front and back, and the yard in front is about 20 square meters..." Uncle Tang led everyone through the courtyard and passed through the corner of the house facing the house.

Luo Zai introduced it carefully, with a nostalgic look on his face from time to time.

"Uncle Tang, don't mind if we discuss it!" Although Yao Jianguo was very satisfied with the house, he still wanted to hear the opinions of his family.

"Of course, Xiao Qi came over and told me about what happened in Nancheng in recent years!" Uncle Tang nodded in agreement and asked Tang Qi to leave in an understanding manner, giving the family of four enough private space to discuss.

"Dad, this house is so big and beautiful!" Compared with adults' various considerations, Yao Feng's thoughts were much simpler, and he expressed his views on the house intuitively.

"This house is so bright and spacious. You can tell from the cleanliness that the original owner cherished it!" Li Mei sighed as she thought about the different varieties of flowers and trees blooming in the garden when she came in.

"It's not far from the city center, and there are enough rooms close to the road. Now that Nancheng is developing so fast and there are many people from outside the city, the value of this house will definitely increase in the future!" Yao Yi concluded based on the description of Nancheng in the book.

"I think so too. If Nancheng continues to develop like this, every inch of land will be expensive. Even if you have money in the future, you may not be able to buy it!" Yao Jianguo remembered that he came to Nancheng in 1984 and could ride a bicycle at that time.

He is already a wealthy person. In the past few years, almost every household has a bicycle, and some people have already ridden motorcycles or cars. Therefore, he believes that Nancheng will develop better and better, and houses close to the city center will also

It will become more and more expensive.

"Don't you know the price of Uncle Tang's house?" Yao Jianguo said with a smile after getting an answer that his family was completely satisfied with.

"Nine thousand and eight!" Uncle Tang put away his smile and said solemnly.

"Nine thousand eight... nine thousand eight..." Yao Jianguo frowned, this was too much beyond his price.

"Uncle Tang, isn't the nine thousand and eighty too much?" Although Tang Qi knew that the price of this house would not be cheap, he did not expect it to be so expensive. He couldn't help but test it carefully.

"I don't want to keep everything in the house. If you sell it today, you can move in tonight!" Uncle Tang said.

"Uncle Tang, what do you think of Nine Thousand?" Yao Jianguo gritted his teeth and said.

"Nine thousand six!" Uncle Tang said.

"Uncle Tang, we really like this house, but the price is much higher than our budget. If you are willing to sell it for 9,000, I can pay it off in the afternoon!" Yao Jianguo said sincerely.

"Nine thousand and three can't be any less!" Uncle Tang also reported the lowest price in his heart.

"Alas!" Yao Jianguo sighed deeply and said, "Nine thousand three is enough, but the transfer of ownership will be done in the afternoon!"
Chapter completed!
