"Dong dong dong" There was a knock on the study door, and then the door was pushed open.
"Li Chu, Brother Meng is here."
"Brother Meng is here, hello sister-in-law! It's a rare time for you to come."
"Who said that? Didn't I also come to Wenxuan's wedding?"
"Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do throughout the day, you should come here more often. There are so many people here."
"Okay, I'll come more often if nothing happens."
"Qiu Nan, please greet my sister-in-law. Brother Meng, please sit in my study first. You are not in a hurry to eat now, are you?"
"I just put down the lunch bowl, don't worry, I just had nothing to do at home, so I brought your sister-in-law here. Where are Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang? Are they resting?"
"Well, after dinner, I went inside to rest. Come, have some tea."
"I heard that Wang Bing and his troops changed their defenses the other day. Didn't you go to the Northwest once last year?"
"Yes, and Wang Bing has been transferred back to their army headquarters this time."
"Hey, aren't we going back to Sijiu City?"
"Yes, he sent a letter a few days ago. He will probably be back after the Spring Festival. Then his wife and children will be here."
"It's rare that Uncle Wang can think of getting his second son back."
"Then you really thought wrong. Wang Laoer's return this time has nothing to do with Uncle Wang. It is a normal transfer within the army."
"Hey, what level is the second one now?"
"I can't figure it out. Their organization is different from other troops. He seems to be some kind of captain. I can't understand it either. It should be normal after this restructuring."
"Let's see when the third child can come back. If he can come back, then Uncle Wang and his family will be reunited."
"Who knows, but I guess it's difficult."
"Brother Ziwen, how do you feel about your retirement life?" Zhang Meng turned to chat with Wang Ziwen again.
"I'll be here to keep you company in a few years."
"I wasn't used to it at first, but now I just wander around every day and find people to play chess with. It's pretty good."
…
Counting the guards, there were a total of more than 20 people. The mutton-boiled dinner in the evening was divided into two tables. They were all carnivores. In total, they ate more than 50 kilograms of mutton and beef.
There was no shortage of wine, even Uncle Wang was allowed to have a sip or two today.
"Sister, wait a moment, I want to tell you something."
Li Qin helped clean up and was about to go home through the small door when she was stopped by Li Chu.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister, please sit down in the living room for a while while I put the coal on the boiler."
In the living room, Li Qin saw her younger siblings coming in and asked, "Qiu Nan, Xiao Chu said he wanted to talk to me about something, do you know what it is?"
Ding Qiunan was about to close the window in the living room. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "I guess I should be telling you that he is planning to buy a house again."
"Buying a house? Is he crazy?" Li Qin was stunned when she heard this. What was this brother thinking? Why was he so obsessed with buying a house?
"Sister, it's the courtyard over there, the same courtyard where our parents left their house."
"Ah? There are about ten households living there, so how can I buy it? Besides, the yard is too big, so why buy it?"
"I don't know why he wanted to buy it, but he did say that there will be fewer and fewer large courtyards with three entrances in the future. If you can't find a way to get it now, it will be even more impossible in two years."
Li Qin nodded: "That's true. In my mind, all the property rights of that courtyard are in private hands. The property rights of the remaining large courtyards are very chaotic. They are basically managed by the streets.
It seems that it is no longer available to private individuals."
"That's right, sister, that's why I want to buy it." At this time, Li Chu also opened the curtain and walked in.
"No, why did you buy it? It's too big, and if you don't live in that kind of house, it will deteriorate faster.
Also, if you want to convince those people to sell to you, it won’t be easy for me.”
"Of course I know it's not easy, so now I just want to give it a try."
Just as Li Qin was about to speak, something suddenly occurred to her. She stopped and thought for a while before saying, "But it seems that you might succeed this time."
"How do you say that?" Li Chu perked up as soon as he heard this.
Ding Qiunan, who was about to go to the bedroom to change into pajamas, also stopped.
"I remember that the newly built family home they built seems to be almost ready. This time they are allocating houses to current employees, but they also allow retired employees who do not have a house to buy it."
Li Chu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Judging from the fact that everyone wants to live in a unit building now, it should be easy to do work for those people!
"Sister, according to this, my idea this time is very likely to come true!"
"It's possible. I won't make the decision for you. You can decide for yourself whether you want to buy it or not. You two can discuss it yourself. If you can't come up with the money, you can come to me."
"It's okay, sister, I have money at home. Let him decide whether to buy it or not. I will listen to him." Ding Qiunan walked back to the sofa and sat down.
"Qiu Nan, you can't just listen to him. Look at how many houses he has bought over the years, and he still has to buy endless houses. You have to remember that you are the shopkeeper and you can't let him do whatever he wants.
"
His sister's words made Li Chu's heart tremble violently.
Yes, I have indeed bought a lot of houses over the years. Why am I still so persistent in buying houses?
His own home is obviously enough to live in now, and he feels like he is a little obsessed with these houses.
"Huh~" He breathed out softly.
My sister was right when she said something just now. Why did you buy the house and move them there? That's obviously not possible.
Living here is close enough for them to take care of their elderly father and mother. In two years, my sister and brother-in-law will be 70, and they will also need their care.
Having two families live here, it would be a bit unethical for them to move away.
Thinking of this, Li Chu said: "I don't want to buy the house."
"Uh... Xiao Chu, I didn't mean to stop you." Li Qin thought that what she just said made her brother make this decision again.
"No, sister, it has nothing to do with you. It was my own decision. There is really no need to buy it." Li Chu waved his hand and said.
"What should we do, Mr. Third? What you say to others is no different from directly agreeing.
And with the third uncle’s eagerness, I might even contact several companies for you, and if you suddenly don’t accept it, those people won’t scold you to death.”
When Ding Qiunan said this, Li Chu realized that the day had passed, maybe a few people actually agreed.
"Xiao Chu, since you have promised to others, then buy it if you have to. If you can't buy it all, then buy it all. If that yard can be tidied up properly, it will be much more beautiful than your yard!"
Li Qin waved his hand and immediately made the decision for him.
