Chapter 166: Take the House in the Town

After hearing this, Liu Xinghe began to recall the houses near Hao Mei's home. They seemed to be single-family houses with small courtyards built by locals. Although the houses in that area were a bit old, they were not shabby.

Thinking of this, she became more interested in the house that Hao Mei mentioned. The house with a small courtyard was the one she wanted to buy the most.

Liu Xinghe nodded: "Okay, I'll go after work this afternoon, is that okay?"

"Okay."

Hao Mei couldn't contain his excitement and took Liu Xinghe's hand and said:

"Xinghe, my neighbor said that if I can help her with this, she will give me fifty yuan after the house is sold. If you really take over the house, I will give you half of the money, and we will split it equally. It will help you save some money, and I can also earn some extra money to buy clothes. It's a two-pronged approach."

Hao Mei told Liu Xinghe the little secret behind this and was looking forward to this deal being successful. Twenty-five yuan is one month's salary, and this money must be earned.

Liu Xinghe didn't expect that she would take on such an outside job, and that the person would tell her about it openly and share the money with her. This was the right friend, and she would have to treat him to a meal after the job was done.

She smiled and took Hao Mei's hand:

"That's great. In that case, tell me more about the house. Tell me everything you know about the house's size, layout, room conditions, price, the family's character, etc. Then we can get straight to the point in the afternoon and get it done early."

"Yes, yes, I have to tell you in detail. In the afternoon, we have to cooperate inside and outside and try to get it at a suitable price. Let's set up the counter first and sit down and talk slowly."

"Okay."

It was still early at this time, and no one came to visit the supply and marketing cooperative. The two of them had a lot of free time. After setting up the counter, Hao Mei moved a bench, and the two sat down side by side and started talking about the house very closely.

Hao Mei spoke, and Liu Xinghe listened.

"That house is just across the street from my house, and the layout of our two houses is similar. You've been to my house, so you should have some impression of it."

"I have an impression of your house, tell me." Liu Xinghe tilted his head and listened attentively.

Hao Mei was afraid that others would hear it, so he moved closer, as if whispering in Liu Xinghe's ear.

"His house is a little more spacious, and the yard is only about ten square meters larger than mine. The house and the yard cover an area of ​​about five hundred square meters, which is quite spacious. There are vegetable plots on both sides of the yard, leaving a piece in the middle as a courtyard to entertain guests."

The area is not bad, and Liu Xinghe motioned her to continue.

"There are quite a few rooms. There are four bedrooms, as well as a kitchen, a tool room, and a living room. There are independent toilets in the yard, so there is no need to go to the public toilet outside. His family also built a special washing room, so there is no need to worry about not having a place to take a shower."

After talking about the rooms, Hao Mei talked about the character of that family.

"Besides, that family has nice personalities, and they don't have any trouble. The family is simple, with only the son from the city. The son is the result of the old couple's old age. The family is quite gentle to others. The house was built by the old man himself when he was young, and it is completely his own house. Therefore, there won't be some inexplicable problems after buying this house."

Just hearing this, it seems very good. Liu Xinghe is still very interested in this house, mainly because it is next to the street, and it will be very convenient to use the house for anything in the future.

Not knowing the price, Liu Xinghe pulled Hao Mei and asked:

"Did they tell you the price of the house? Is there a price range?"

"They didn't tell me the specific price, but I figured out the approximate price range from what they said. It should be around four or five hundred, on the higher side. You can go there and negotiate the price this afternoon, and you should be able to get a lot less."

Hao Mei told Liu Xinghe all this in detail because she truly regarded her as a friend. Liu Xinghe understood it all.

"Okay, let's go together after work this afternoon. If possible, we can get this done this afternoon. I really want to thank you for this."

"Why thank you? I just had my eyes on the money. It just so happens that you have a need and there is money there. If I don't grab it, someone else will. We must not let go of the money that comes to our door. Let's make it this way. Let's go home together after work this afternoon."

Hao Mei smiled happily. It would be a waste if she didn't take the opportunity to pick up money for free. She patted Liu Xinghe's hand and stood up: "Someone is coming. I'll go to the counter first. Remember that."

"Well, you go and get busy. Someone is coming over there too."

After chatting, the two sisters stood up at their posts and worked seriously.

The time of the day passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was time to get off work in the afternoon.

Liu Xinghe and Hao Mei, who was working at the counter next to him, looked at each other in tacit understanding, and turned around to start packing up the things on the counter. They were very fast and didn't waste any time. They finished packing up and went home in a few minutes.

Liu Xinghe rode his bicycle and took Hao Mei to her home. He first went to Hao Mei's house to park the bicycle before walking across the street and parking in front of a big house.

Hao Mei pointed and said, "We're here. It's right here. I'll knock on the door first. There should be someone at home

." Hao Mei took Liu Xinghe's hand and walked to the front door. After knocking a few times, she heard a gentle voice from inside. A few seconds later, a kind old lady came over and said with a smile, "Xiao Mei is here. Come in."

"Auntie Wang, the matter you asked me to do has been resolved. This is my friend Xinghe. I brought her here to talk."

Hao Mei walked into the yard and briefly introduced Liu Xinghe and got straight to the point.

"Okay, wait a minute. I'll go call your uncle Zhang out." The old lady smiled kindly and nodded, and went to the house to call someone.

It looked similar to what Hao Mei had told her, so Liu Xinghe felt relieved.

After the male owner arrived, the couple took Liu Xinghe to tour the house, from the outside yard to the inside of the house, and explained the situation inside the house to her as they walked through each place.

After walking around the whole yard, Liu Xinghe was still quite satisfied. Every bit of it showed that the couple loved the house very much and maintained every place very well.

Although the main building of the house is more than 20 years old and is larger than her, there is no problem with the house at all. All the places that need to be renovated have been renovated.

What surprised her was that there was a small backyard at the back and a large cellar. The space underneath was huge and could store food or some sundries.

What she liked most was a grape vine planted in the backyard. The vine was full of bunches of grapes. There were many of them and they were growing well, but they were still green. It was estimated that they would be ripe in a month or two.

The owner did not intend to dig the house away, and sold it together with the house.

If she bought the yard, she could eat ready-made grapes, and she was very attracted by this point.

After seeing the house, Liu Xinghe was very willing to buy it. She sat in the yard with the couple and the introducer Hao Mei to discuss the price of the house.

Everything went smoothly, and finally Liu Xinghe bought the house for 500 yuan.

Liu Xinghe immediately gave a down payment of 200 yuan, and the two parties wrote a simple contract by hand, agreeing to go to the street to handle the transfer of ownership tomorrow.

In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles and complete the house transfer procedures as soon as possible, the two parties agreed to announce to the outside world that Liu Xinghe was their distant relative.

After all the details were finalized, Liu Xinghe and Hao Mei happily left and walked back.

Yeah, they finally got a house in the town.

When Liu Xinghe pushed the cart out of Hao Mei's house in a happy mood, Hao Mei took out twenty-five yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Xinghe's pocket, and said excitedly:

"This is your share. Haha, it feels so good to make money like this, Xinghe. Thank you for letting me make so much money at one time. I have new clothes. It's really good."

Liu Xinghe did not refuse and accepted it happily: "Then I will accept it without hesitation. I will treat you to lunch in the cafeteria tomorrow at noon."

"Okay, I won't be polite either. I will eat your meal as well, and I can save money for another meal. I am an expert at making money." Hao Mei agreed happily, and was complacent about it.

"Xinghe, it's getting late, you should go back soon, and be careful on the road."

"Okay, I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

Liu Xinghe rode on her bicycle, waved goodbye and rode quickly out of the town.

Back in the Youth House, Liu Xinghe didn't tell anyone about her house purchase for the time being, including her family and Cheng Yunxiao.

The house hasn't been finalized yet, and she didn't plan to tell anyone to avoid complications. Everything will be said after it's done.

After dinner, she put the 300 yuan needed to buy the house in an envelope.
