"Comrade Ren, do you have anything to say?" No matter what, the captain still smiled.
"Captain, are you busy? We want to discuss something with you."
Ren Jingxiao saw that there were quite a few people inside, but he didn't care and spoke directly.
"What do you want to discuss? Tell me." It was the first time the captain saw Ren Jingxiao discussing something with him so politely, and he was not used to it.
"Well, I work in the county town now, and I'm planning to move there with my wife. I'm planning to sell this house in the countryside. Is the captain interested?"
Ren Jingxiao looked at the captain and asked directly without hesitation.
"Ah? House? I have no shortage of houses." The captain said in surprise.
"No, you lack it!" Ren Jingxiao said more decisively.
"I...Comrade Ren, what do I need this country house for? I have a house allocated to me in the commune." The team leader was in a dilemma.
"You just arrived and you don't know. Once it snows, the road here will be closed. How will you come to the team then, Captain?"
"You can't possibly not come to the brigade for a month or two, right? If the deputy captain also withdraws, won't the brigade be in chaos?"
Ren Jingxiao was considering the captain's situation; he felt that the captain really needed a house.
"This..." The captain was stunned. He didn't expect this. It hasn't snowed yet, and he can still ride his bike back and forth.
"Captain, I won't lie to you. You really need a house. And it's a new house, so you won't lose out if you buy it."
"There's no house in the entire brigade that's better than mine, and it's worthy of your position as brigade leader."
Ren Jingxiao continued speaking, while Ningxia beside him was stunned.
Ren Jingxiao is not only suitable for business, he is also suitable for sales. It seems that he is about to trick the team leader into a state of collapse.
"How much do you plan to sell your house for?" The captain asked after hesitating for a moment.
He thought that if it snowed, it would be unrealistic for him to travel back and forth, and he would have to endure more hardships as a person who earned two salaries.
"If someone else were to buy it, I'd have to ask for at least six or seven hundred, or even a thousand. But for the captain, five hundred is enough."
"And I can prepare more firewood for the captain, so you won't be cold all winter."
Ren Jingxiao calculated that the bricks and tiles of his house were bought from wild boars at no cost, and the food he ate was grown in the mountains at no cost.
The wood was cut in the mountains without any payment, so it was basically free money. His son Xia Xia likes money and bills, so he will not miss any opportunity to make money.
The captain was stunned for a moment when he heard Ren Jingxiao's words. Five hundred? That's enough to buy a house in the county town. Who would want this in the countryside?
"Your price is too high." The captain couldn't accept it.
"Is it expensive? My house is made of bricks and tiles. It cost me more than five hundred yuan to build it. It's brand new. Even if you go to the county town, there are few houses that can compare to it."
Ren Jingxiao was unhappy when he heard him say that his house was not worth it.
The captain was silent. Although what Comrade Ren said was true, he always felt that something was wrong.
The team leader doesn't know the regional differences. Can the same house be the same when built in Beijing and in Heishan Brigade?
"I'll think about it... think about it..." The captain counted the money in his family and found that most of it was gone in one go. He felt painful.
"Time waits for no one. If the captain doesn't buy it, I'll move out in two days and sell the house."
"When the captain is walking in the snow, if he regrets it later, there will be no turning back. The snow here is so strong that it can bury a person. If he loses his life, what's the point of keeping the money?"
Ren Jingxiao saw that the captain was in a dilemma, so he said his last words and pulled Ningxia away.
"Hey... Hey, don't go. Comrade Ren, let's discuss this. Can you see if the price can be lowered a bit?"
Seeing that the man was about to leave without any hesitation, the captain quickly called out to him to stop.
He has such a bad temper. If he doesn't want to sell it, he will just sell it. He won't let anyone take advantage of him. It's such a pity to sell such a good house.
"How about this, I'll give the captain another ten yuan off. That's more than half a month's salary for me. Now you won't have any complaints, right?"
Ren Jingxiao sighed and looked at the captain, who seemed to have taken a big step back. The captain was confused.
In the end, he didn't know why he agreed. He felt that he would suffer a great loss if he didn't agree.
"Captain, let's pay a deposit first!" Ningxia watched from the side for a long time.
She knew that the captain was confused now, so why not take this opportunity to write a receipt?
"What are you writing?" The team leader saw Ningxia enter the team headquarters and quickly wrote a certificate.
He took it and looked at it, and paid a deposit of ten yuan first. If he regretted it later and did not refund the deposit, it would be considered a breach of contract, and he would have to pay ten times the rent.
"Don't be afraid, Captain. This is just a certificate, a guarantee for both of us. As long as we act according to the certificate, nothing will be affected."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to make the decision when you go back. Nowadays, many men are afraid of their wives. If you don't buy it, won't it delay our sale?" Ningxia said with a smile.
"What do you mean you're afraid of your wife? How could I be afraid of my wife?" The captain denied it when he heard it.
He's not like Comrade Ren at all! He always has the final say at home.
The captain looked at the certificate and signed his name. As long as he bought it, there would be no breach of contract.
As for the ten-dollar deposit, he had it in his pocket, so he gave it readily.
"The captain is honest and forthright. This reassures us. You can rest assured. We have prepared plenty of firewood. Even if you burn half and throw away the other half, it will be enough."
Ningxia took the money and brainwashed the team leader for a while before taking Ren Jingxiao away.
"Captain, are you really planning to buy Tiewazi's house?" After everyone left, a few people in the brigade dared to speak.
"Yes, otherwise what should I do in winter? I will freeze to death going back and forth." The captain didn't realize what was wrong.
"But Tiewazi's house is only 500 yuan, isn't that too expensive? If there's an unoccupied house in the housing brigade, you can clean it up and live there for a few months."
It is true that those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things clearly. They think that the captain is crazy.
This is five hundred yuan! They might not be able to save up that much even if they save their whole lives.
"How can it be five hundred? Didn't Comrade Ren give me a ten yuan discount? He even said he was going to get me some firewood! He..."
The captain felt something was wrong the more he spoke. "Yes, there are empty houses in the brigade! Why would he spend money to buy one?"
Just for firewood? He had been troubled by firewood recently and felt dizzy whenever he heard about it.
When he heard that he needed to prepare firewood, his eyes lit up. So he only needed 490 yuan to buy firewood?
The captain was dumbfounded. Comrade Ren and his wife had cheated him, but when he looked at the certificate in his hand, which stated that the penalty for breach of contract was ten times, he almost cried.
Seeing the captain like this, the others didn't dare to say anything, for fear of hurting him again.
