Today I am still working on the cabinets, and the sewing machine in the second room in the east is still there. Li Rong asked Mei Jiyu and others to come back to work tomorrow.
After Zhao's mother sent An An to school, she went to buy groceries on the way back and started cooking when she got home.
Just as Li Rong rolled up her sleeves to help, Yuan Huiwen came, followed by an old man in a Chinese tunic suit.
"Teacher Yuan."
"Xiao Rong, this is the chess friend Lao Sun I told you about. His house is still there. I wanted to find you later, but Lao Sun urged me to come, so here I am."
Li Rong probably guessed it when she saw the old man just now. She smiled and said, "Uncle Sun? Are you from Xiangfu Hutong?"
Lao Sun nodded, but he didn't see Yuan Huiwen urging him to come.
But it could also be that he didn't show it in front of Li Rong.
If he shows that he is in a hurry to sell the house, the price of the house will easily be lowered.
Li Rong was still making dishes in her hands. There were several people who had to prepare meals for Zhao's mother, but Teacher Yuan brought them all over, so Li Rong couldn't make a decision for a while.
She said: "It's almost dinner time, why don't you go over and watch after dinner?"
Yuan Huiwen thought it was okay. He turned his head and glanced at Lao Sun: "How about eating first?"
"It's still more than an hour before dinner time." Lao Sun's house has not been sold for almost two months. He will go abroad next month. He is really anxious to sell the house, but in front of the buyer.
Son, he didn't show it.
Hearing Li Rong say that he would go after dinner, he couldn't help but said: "Xiangfu is nearby, let's go and see it first, and you will have dinner when we get back."
Li Rong also knew, but if she was here, she would cook faster, otherwise it would be very tiring for Zhao's mother to be alone. She had just sent An An to school.
Yuan Huiwen knew that Lao Sun was anxious, so he hesitated for a moment: "Xiao Rong, will you take another look?"
"Then let's go and see it first." Li Ruizhi said.
Mother Zhao saw that Li Rong was still choosing vegetables. She knew that Li Rong wanted to help her cook because she couldn't find the cooking aunt.
But the old man brought by Teacher Yuan seemed quite anxious about finding Li Rong.
Listening to what they were talking about, they should be talking about what kind of house they wanted to see.
I don’t know if I went too late and couldn’t watch it.
Mother Zhao took the dishes away and urged Li Rong: "If you have anything to do, go and do your work first. Can I be tired with just the dishes for these few people?"
After he finished, he said to Yuan Huiwen: "After you finish your work later, will you come back with Xiaorong for dinner?"
Yuan Huiwen happily said yes.
Li Rong went back to the house and put on a coat for going out, and asked Li Ruizhi to follow.
She didn't say that Li Ruizhi was also buying a house, and Lao Sun didn't ask, subconsciously thinking that they were a couple.
Xiangfu Hutong.
The courtyards in the alley are lined up on both sides, and the alley in the middle is about three meters wide. After entering, the road is not that wide again, and it seems to be less than two meters.
Lao Sun and his men stopped in the middle of the alley. In front of them was an old-fashioned double door, locked with an iron lock.
He opened the door and said: "This is our ancestral property. We lived abroad a few years ago due to policy reasons, and we only came back two years ago. If we hadn't immigrated abroad, we wouldn't be willing to sell it."
Li Rong and others followed him in and asked curiously: "You have gone abroad, will you come back in the future?"
Lao Sun shook his head and nodded again: "I will definitely come back. Chinese people are very particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots. When the time comes, they will earn money from foreigners and go home."
Li Rong knew about this complex, but she did not comment, nor did she tell Lao Sun about the housing prices.
He has sold his ancestral property now, and the price is only around 100,000 yuan. But when he comes back in 20 to 30 years, he will probably not be able to buy a house in the same location if it is not worth tens of millions.
In the 1980s, many people in the capital sold their courtyard houses. Later, when they saw the housing prices here soaring, they must have regretted it.
Li Rong has nothing to do with Lao Sun. If she wants to buy a house again, she will definitely not remind him that she has to lower the price.
It is best to buy this yard at a very low price.
She was also looking at the yard when she came in. The yard of Uncle Sun's house was wider than Li Rong imagined.
There are some dead trees in the yard, and there are some bare patches of land on the edge. Nothing is planted on them, but there is snow.
The eaves also have some carved corridor wood that is characteristic of the first year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty.
Lao Sun asked: "How is it? Is my yard okay?"
Li Rong smiled: "It's quite spacious."
Lao Sun sighed: "When my wife was still here, we used to grow fruits and vegetables. Now that we are gone, there is no one to take care of it. Our children are all outside."
Li Ruizhi looked at the dead tree for a while: "Uncle Sun, take us inside to have a look."
Asking to see the inside, Uncle Sun knew that they must be satisfied with the yard. The couple were young, lived in such a big courtyard, and hired people to work at home.
Although he didn't know what this young couple did, Lao Sun just felt that they had money to buy a house.
Lao Sun laughed, pointed to the back room, showed them, and said, "Go this way."
It was probably time to leave, and everything in the house was almost packed.
Only the kitchen and the room where Uncle Sun slept still showed signs of habitation, and everything else was kept clean and tidy.
Li Ruizhi took advantage of Yuan Huiwen in front to reminisce about the past with Lao Sun, and took Li Rong to discuss in a low voice: "This house is quite suitable for living, with five or six rooms, not far from you. Ning Ning will definitely like it, what do you think?
"
Any house in this area will have a lot of room for appreciation in the future.
What they have to consider is whether they can buy it with the money they have now.
Li Rong glanced at Li Rui. He had never bought a house before and probably rarely bought groceries. He looked stupid and looked like someone who was about to take out the money to buy something in the next second.
I don't even know to look at it anymore, and I don't intend to pull it.
I don’t know if Zhao Qingsong negotiated the price with someone when he bought the courtyard house. He didn’t pay directly, right?
Li Rong suddenly felt suffocated and glanced at Li Ruizhi: "Please stop talking later and just listen to me. Buying a house is not a small matter, so don't worry."
Li Ruizhi felt resentful, he felt his sister's feelings in his sister again.
He touched the back of his head and said nothing.
"What do you two think?" Lao Sun asked, looking at the two people walking towards him.
"Uncle Sun, how much do you plan to pay for this house?"
"Eighty-five thousand," Uncle Sun looked at Li Rong, "It's the real price. We are all acquaintances of Lao Yuan. I won't intentionally charge you a high price."
Li Rong's budget for this house is actually less than 70,000.
The five-room house actually includes a kitchen, and the yard is not as big as a courtyard house. It is because of the geographical location that the price is quoted.
After finishing the work, Li Rong said: "The price is a bit high."
Uncle Sun's face became anxious: "Hey, how can this be considered high? There is an old friend next door who sells it for more than 90,000."
Li Rong still shook her head: "The one with more than 90,000 yuan may have a bigger yard and more houses. Uncle Sun, your house is good, but excluding the kitchen, there are only four rooms, and the house is still small.
