"The house is on the west side, near the machinery factory. It consists of three brick and tile houses with a small yard of about 60 square meters.
The landlord was an old lady with a somewhat eccentric temper. Her three sons had all died in the battlefield, and that was why she was able to keep the house from being rented out.
The old lady is old, and her daughter who married into the provincial capital is worried about her and wants to take her over to live with her in her old age, so she sold the house.
I've seen that house. It's the third one in the alley. The location is pretty good. Except for the lack of a separate toilet, everything else should meet your requirements.
If you agree, let's go and have a look. If not, I'll help you find it."
Lu Cheng did not make a direct decision, but looked at Qin An Ning.
It is difficult to find a separate courtyard nowadays, and it is even harder to find a private house.
There are not so many perfect things. If Qin An Ning comes across one, he wants to decide on it first.
If that doesn't work, just look for another one and buy it when you find a suitable one.
"Then please trouble Sixth Brother to take us to have a look."
Sixth Brother didn't expect that Lu Cheng would let his wife, who had not yet married him, make the decision on such a big matter as buying a house. It seems that he will have to look up to this female comrade in the future.
"Okay, let's go now." Sixth Brother put on his clothes, put on a hat and a mask, and rode his bicycle to take the two of them there personally.
There are many factories in the west, and supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned restaurants, etc. are not far away.
The alley is not wide. The third house is about fifty or sixty meters away from the main road. The vermilion wooden gate is spotted and some paint is peeling.
The lady who opened the door looked to be in her sixties, with a slightly hunched back. She looked rather serious, with a head full of silver hair neatly tied into a bun at the back of her head.
When he saw them, he only gave them two words of charity: "Look."
As soon as you enter the door, there is a yard, which is about the same size as what Sixth Brother described. There is a simple shed against the west wall, which contains coal briquettes and other miscellaneous items.
The yard was clean and all the snow had been cleared away, revealing the black ground underneath.
It can be seen that the old lady is a hardworking person.
The layout of this house is a little different from that of rural houses.
In rural areas, because people have to burn firewood to cook, every household has a kitchen right after the entrance of the house, which makes it convenient to carry firewood when cooking.
There is a corridor at the entrance of the house, which leads directly to the kitchen at the back, with rooms on both sides.
There was a kang in the east room, as well as some simple furniture, and the room was also very clean.
There is nothing in the west room except the kang, so it is quite empty.
At this time, it doesn’t matter whether it is a living room or not. Visitors are received directly in the house. There is nothing to be picky about this.
The most important thing is that the pharmaceutical factory is only about ten minutes' walk away from here, so Lu Cheng is quite satisfied.
"Ningning, what do you think?"
Qin An Ning clearly saw the surprise in the old lady's eyes, as if she didn't expect Lu Cheng to ask her.
"I think it's good, let's decide on this."
The old lady then spoke with dignity, "Don't you two ask the price? Young people, don't tease others for no reason."
A house costs a few hundred dollars, and not everyone can afford it.
Qin Anning smiled, "Auntie, we are sincere in buying a house, why would we tease you?
Sixth brother said your house is 450 yuan, is that the price?
If so, we'll go get the money now and go through the formalities."
Is four hundred and fifty expensive?
It must seem expensive to others, but she and Lu Cheng are not short of money.
All three of the aunt's sons have sacrificed their lives, so there is no need for them to argue with her about those ten or twenty dollars.
Lu Cheng agreed, "Don't worry, Auntie. We bought this house for our wedding. We will definitely buy it if we say so."
He is so obedient to his wife even before getting married. The old lady looks at Lu Cheng with special satisfaction.
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll wait for you to withdraw the money, and we'll go through the formalities.
But first, you have to give me two days. I need to pack my things and wait for my daughter to come pick me up." The old lady was also a straightforward person, and she settled the matter quickly.
"No problem, Auntie. I work in a transportation team and have been driving to the provincial capital frequently recently. If your things are difficult to carry, I can help you take them there."
The old lady was even happier after hearing this. Her poor family was worth a fortune, and there were some things she really couldn't bear to throw away.
After making such a happy decision, Qin Anning and Lu Cheng went for a walk and then came back with the money.
In fact, it is still not allowed to buy and sell houses now, but there are countermeasures for every policy. You just need to write a transfer and change the name at the housing management office.
In addition to the necessary formalities, they privately wrote a house purchase and sale contract. After signing and fingerprinting, the house became theirs.
Lu Cheng insisted that the house should be registered in Qin Anning's name, but Qin Anning disagreed.
If Lu Cheng's family knew about this, they would probably feel uncomfortable. As long as they have a good relationship, it doesn't matter who is written about.
If anything happens, she doesn't care about a small house in the county town.
After finishing the formalities, it was already past two o'clock. There was nothing else to do, so the two of them went straight back to the team.
"We bought a house today, and Xu Jiacheng and Qi Shuyue were also punished. It's a double blessing. Let's celebrate."
Lu Cheng did not disagree with any of Qin An Ning's requests.
Hearing this, he asked directly, "How do you want to celebrate?"
"We said we'd kill a sheep last time, but we never did. Now that we're in a hurry, let's kill a sheep.
Bring more meat to your house to cook and improve their meals."
Lu Cheng smiled gently, his eyes shining like stars.
There is no other daughter-in-law in the world as good as Ningning.
He will definitely be good to Ningning for the rest of his life!
Qin Anning didn't know what Lu Cheng was thinking. The two of them found a deserted place and entered the space, and Lu Cheng went to work as a butcher.
He didn't let Qin An Ning reach out, fearing that the smell of blood would disgust her or that the sharp knife would cut her. Anyway, he always had an excuse.
"Go pick some fruit or lie down inside for a while. You must be tired after a busy day. I'll be done in a moment."
Qin Anning thought seriously for a long time. It seemed that she had done nothing except walking from the educated youth site to the commune.
What is she busy with?
Forget it. If she’s not allowed to do it, then she won’t do it. To be honest, she can’t help much anyway.
I picked some strawberries, washed them, went to the study, picked up a book, and ate strawberries while reading.
"Ningning, I'm done." Lu Cheng came in after washing his hands.
Qin An Ning fed him a piece of strawberry and asked, "Are you tired? Rest for a while before going back?"
Lu Cheng deliberately licked Qin An Ning's fingertips while eating strawberries, his eyes half-curled, "So sweet."
"You'd better stop it. If you keep making trouble, you won't be able to go home for dinner tonight." Qin An Ning glared at him, and her watery peach blossom eyes made Lu Cheng feel even more itchy.
Lu Cheng's throat rolled, and he swallowed gently, suppressing the turbulent feeling in his heart. He said in a hoarse voice, "Listen to Ningning."
In order to make it look more realistic, the two took out the mutton as soon as they left the space, put it in a silk bag, and froze it on the way back.
When I got home, Lu Rongjiang was smoking in the house with a frown on his face, and it seemed that he had encountered some difficulties.
