The daughter wanted to buy a house, and her eldest grandson found the house. Zhang Xiuying was worried, so she asked the old man to go with her to have a look, so as not to be deceived.
Gu Baozhu has black hair. My dear mother, does she look like someone who has been deceived?
But it’s not a bad idea to go with Dad. If possible, I’ll just buy it when the time comes, saving me the trouble of going back and forth.
Beijing is indeed a big city, and transportation is very convenient. It only takes half an hour to take a bus to Fu'an Street.
After getting off the bus, walk for ten minutes and you will reach your destination.
Behind Fu'an Street are a series of connected courtyards, which look very old and have a strong sense of history, especially the stone lions outside the courtyards, sitting in the alley, as if they have strayed into an ancient scene.
This is the alley behind Fu'an Street. The alley is so long that you can't see the end at a glance.
The alley looks very lively. If you buy a property here and your parents live here, you should not be restricted. They are all single-family houses, similar to a small courtyard in the countryside.
These days, many people are not aware of what the courtyard house will mean in the future. People prefer to live in buildings because they feel that the buildings are spacious and bright.
Even because of those events back then, many relatively large courtyard houses were split up and shared by several families and were ruined.
Although the property was later returned to the original owner, the original owner did not want to repair the house after seeing it was ruined. He only wanted to sell it and make some money.
In such an era, this idea is undoubtedly normal.
It’s just that few people can see how unattainable housing prices will be in more than ten or twenty years, otherwise they wouldn’t sell them.
After all, not everyone has a unique vision, and most people only see the nearest one-third of an acre of land.
"Sister-in-law, these houses look shabby, why don't you buy a building?"
Gu Weidang was really curious. Along the way, these houses didn't look very good.
Although the courtyard is large in area, it cannot stand up to the size of a bungalow.
And the appearance is still shabby. What on earth did my sister-in-law think?
Gu Baozhu chuckled lightly, with a mysterious look on his face, "You will know later."
It’s only in the past few years. If you want to buy a courtyard house in the future, it will be really difficult.
Now you can buy it at a bargain price, so enjoy it secretly.
Gu Weiguo quickly led them to the house that was about to be sold, "Sister-in-law, this is it. I'll go over and knock on the door."
When the old lady next to her saw them coming to look at the house at Lao Zhao's house, she thought of her own yard and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to buy Lao Zhao's house?"
"Comrade, do you want to take a look at my house? My house is also for sale. Do you want to come in and take a look?"
The old lady looked forward to it. She didn't want to sell the house left by her wife, but what could she do?
The four sons were at odds with each other. They all wanted to sell the house to split the money, so they simply sold it and kept the money from the sale.
If anyone is filial, he will get more; if he is not, he will get nothing.
It was deserted for her to guard such a big house by herself. It would be better to exchange money and let her daughter-in-law serve her comfortably.
Regardless of whether she is sincere or fake, as long as they have money in their hands, they will not dare to be unfilial.
I have to say that the old lady thought very clearly and lived a more open life, but that was not the case.
Gu Baozhu's eyes lit up, "Old lady, are you trying to sell your house?"
The old lady is well-dressed, even if her clothes are washed white, you can see that the old lady was an elegant person when she was young.
The old lady nodded, with a flash of nostalgia in her eyes, "My surname is Jiang. If you don't mind, just call me Grandma Jiang."
"How can that be done?" Gu Baozhu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "You are so young, how can you call me grandma? I'll call you Aunt Jiang."
The corners of Old Mrs. Jiang's mouth raised slightly, this little girl knew how to talk.
"Aunt Jiang, I will look at this house first, and then I will go to your house to look at it after a while. We have a large family, so we have a lot of houses to buy. As long as the price of your house is right, I will definitely buy it."
She really thinks so, this is a courtyard house that will be sold at a sky-high price in later generations!
Even though they are different worlds, development should not be too different.
So as long as someone is selling it, she will definitely buy it.
Especially now, the housing prices are just cabbage prices. If you don’t buy it, you don’t buy it.
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she nodded with a smile, not disappointed: "Okay, you take a look first, I'll wait here."
She knew that her house could not be compared with that of the old Zhao family. After all, the area alone was incomparable. The ancestors of the old Zhao family were big businessmen, and this house was their ancestral home.
If the house hadn't been in a dilapidated state, the old Zhao family might not have sold it.
Over there, after a few people entered, they discovered that this was actually a two-entry house.
As soon as you enter the main entrance, there are two rows of two rooms on the left and right, with a total of six rooms. In the middle is the main room, which can also be regarded as the living room.
There is a corridor on both sides, through which you can enter the yard at the back.
The layout of the back is a little different from the front, and the house is more spacious. It seems that in the past, the backyard was used by the owner's family, and the penthouses on the left and right in front may have been where the servants lived.
Gu Baozhu took a rough measurement and found out that this two-entry house was about about 100 square feet in size.
The courtyard looks a bit shabby. There are a lot of messy graffiti on the walls of the courtyard. Even the doors and windows are broken. It can be seen that they were deliberately damaged before leaving.
"This courtyard can be regarded as the house handed down from our Zhao family ancestors. As you can see, it has been completely destroyed. My father is old and I want to take him to settle abroad. There is no need to keep this house in my hands."
When the house was returned, there were more than a dozen families living in it.
All of them were arrogant and felt that they were the owners of this place and were unwilling to move. It took a lot of effort to get those people to leave.
They left, but they left the house in ruins.
After seeing it, my father was so angry that he almost died.
It's not that he doesn't want to keep this ancestral home, it's just that he's afraid.
He wanted to take his old father to settle abroad. If something like this happened again, his father might not be lucky enough to survive.
He also discussed this matter with his father for a long time. At first he didn't agree, but after much hard work, he finally agreed.
As soon as his father agreed, he started preparing to sell the house.
It's just that everyone is poor at this time, and those who can afford it don't like this dilapidated courtyard house. Those who want to buy a house don't have the money.
Seeing that they were about to go abroad and the house had not been sold, he was also very anxious. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, someone came to look at the house.
But what needs to be said is that he cannot sell at a low price just because he is in a hurry.
"As you can see, this is a two-entry house. The front and back yards add up to about 620 square meters. There are eight rooms on the left and right sides of the front yard plus the main room. There are six bedrooms in the back yard, and there are small rooms in the front and back yards.
The kitchen also has a complete water system and heating system.”
Gu Baozhu nodded, which was also the reason why her heart moved.
