Chapter 27 Buying a House

After Song Hongguo followed and left, the third sister-in-law of the Zhao family couldn't help muttering anymore.

"Before, his third uncle led people in. I thought it was an educated youth from the Shanghai market. Who would have thought that it was a child from my aunt's family. Don't say it, look carefully. The eyebrows and eyes are really similar. I heard that my aunt When I was young, I was the most handsome in these eight villages..."

"Sister-in-law, it's not enough for a woman to be handsome, she has to be blessed, otherwise she will die. Back then, the second grandfather wanted to keep my aunt at home to recruit children. Who would have thought of her own ability, and found a worker outside to take care of her? The second aunt was cheated, and she thought she went to the town to enjoy the blessings, but... tsk tsk, I think it's not as good as the second aunt, at least she didn't throw her child into the hands of the stepmother."

"Second sister-in-law, don't let daddy hear this, no matter how you say it, she is also our eldest aunt, so I'd better be respectful."

"Auntie, we have been separated for so many years, and we have no contact with the Li family."

"Isn't Auntie gone..."

"What about the children of the Li family? The Zhao family is their relative's family. Who has come to our house for so many years?"

"...Didn't one come just now?"

"Did you come here to recognize relatives? Didn't you hear it? She came to buy a house, and even changed her surname. She is no longer from the Li family. But her life is good. Just by looking at her face and clothes, you can tell that she has never been treated outside." Sin, but still enjoying great blessings. It’s still rich, and it’s a handful of candy, sister-in-law, you shouldn’t let Mantun and Dahua go out in the morning, look, you didn’t share it just now, right?”

"...His second aunt, don't let my mother hear this, I don't know how greedy my child is, taking advantage of everything, let the neighbors know the joke."

"Hehe, what a joke, I don't believe that other people are not greedy, our father is still a well-behaved person in the team, doesn't he also care about that smoke?"

"..."

Song Hongguo couldn't hear these words. She was following Zhao Baoqing and walking up the mountain along the stone road in the center of the village. She had just seen two sets, but she was not satisfied. The most important thing is that the yard is too small to accommodate the garden and vegetable garden in her heart.

A few minutes later, Zhao Baoqing pushed open a wooden door and led her into another yard, "What do you think of this place? The house doesn't need to be cleaned up, and the yard is spacious. Three rooms are enough for the three of you."

This time, Ling Zhi was moved, and quietly tugged on Song Hongguo's arm, winked at her, and asked her to ask the price.

Song Hongguo motioned him to look around, there were people living all around, trapped in the middle, could it be clean?
Ling Zhi's enthusiasm was extinguished in an instant.

"What? I still don't match?" Zhao Baoqing frowned seeing that she didn't show any emotion on her face, "Although our brigade is far away from the commune, it's a good place with mountains and rivers, if not There have been disasters in the past two years, and some people have not survived, so these few places cannot be vacated, what do you want?"

Song Hongguo hurriedly smiled obediently, "The one with a cleaner surrounding, the bigger the yard, and the neater house, Uncle, is there such a place?"

Zhao Baoqing didn't speak for a while, he took out a homemade earthen cigarette from his pocket, struck a match, lit it, and took two puffs vigorously.

Zhao Zhenhua who came with him suddenly said, "Don't tell me, there is really a place."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Baoqing glared at him, "Is there any other house in our team?"

Zhao Zhenhua didn't care about his father's warning, and said with a playful smile, "Why is it gone? Isn't the house of Uncle Cheng's family sold yet? He lives at the foot of the mountain, no one around, it couldn't be more clean , the yard is big enough, adding up to three acres of land, not to mention the house, there are few houses in the whole team that can compare with it."

Hearing this, Song Hongguo immediately became interested, isn't this her ideal type?
Zhao Baoqing objected very much, "That house is not allowed!"

Song Hongguo was puzzled, "Where can't it work?"

Zhao Baoqing didn't speak, Song Hongguo thought it was because the house was not clean and there was something taboo about it, but Zhao Zhenhua said, "It's the price."

"Ok?"

"Hey, if you're an outsider, you'll sell it if you sell it, but don't you call me cousin, how can my father cheat on my niece?"

Song Hongguo asked curiously, "The house is expensive?"

Zhao Zhenhua nodded, with emotion on his face, "It's quite expensive, you can't tell without looking at my father?"

"How much is it?"

Zhao Zhenhua stretched out two fingers.

"Two thousand?" Song Hongguo was startled. Two thousand is indeed not cheap.

"Ahem!" Zhao Baoqing choked on the smoke.

Zhao Zhenhua also had a choked expression on his face, and after a while, he said speechlessly, "Cousin, two hundred is outrageous, how dare you guess it's two thousand?"

Houses in the city dare not ask for this price.

Song Hongguo didn't know the prices of the houses at this time, so he asked humbly, "How much are the two houses I saw before?"

"50 dollars."

"...What about here?"

"80 yuan." Zhao Zhenhua clapped his fingers and explained to her, "How much does it cost to build a new house? No money for the homestead, no money for the stones for the foundation, no money for the adobe and thatch, and no money for the windows and doors. For wood, if you have trees at home, you don’t need to spend more money, the only thing you spend money on is labor, and if you have more brothers in your family, even this can be saved.”

After saying this, Song Hongguo understood, "Then you said that Uncle Cheng's house costs 200 yuan... Could it be a brick house?"

Zhao Baoqing took the words and said, "Adobe, the tiles hanging on the three roofs of the main house, not the bungalows on both sides." After finishing speaking, he added, "The walls of his house are all stone, two meters high. "

Zhao Zhenhua followed closely and said, "The beams and purlins of the house are made of old elm. They have been painted with persimmon lacquer several times, and they can last for a hundred years without breaking. The doors and windows were made by Mr. Cheng himself. He is a carpenter. My son is very particular about what he does, by the way, there is a well in the backyard of his house, um, there is a small pond in the front yard..."

Song Hongguo's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and he couldn't help urging, "Cousin, lead the way."

Zhao Zhenhua looked at his father's face, saw that there was no objection, turned around with a smile and walked in front.

Song Hongguo picked up Ling Yuan, took Ling Zhi with the other hand, and followed closely to inquire, "Where is Uncle Cheng's family?"

"No more," Zhao Zhenhua said in a low voice, "Mr. Cheng and the old couple came from other places at the beginning, and there were no children around. A few years ago, Mrs. Cheng left first, and Mr. Cheng left last autumn. I know why the house has to be sold. Two hundred? Because Uncle Cheng spent a lot of money on medical treatment and borrowed it from our team. Who wants to spend the money and still not keep it? Who will pay for the debt? We can only use the roof of the house, if the asking price is not so high , I don’t know how many people want to snatch that house.”

"...a lot of people want it?"

"Sure, when you see it with your own eyes, you will know that I am not talking nonsense."
