Chapter 110
Grandpa Zhang's daughter and her family will stay here for another week to accompany Grandpa Zhang until everything is settled, and then they will leave together.
Grandpa Zhang has lived here for more than 20 years and raised a pair of children. He has deep feelings for this yard and his neighbors, so he wants to say goodbye properly.
Haohao likes Su Miao very much. His mother brings him to eat braised food every day. If Su Miao is there, she will play with him for a while.
The Zhang family's yard was put up for sale. The entire yard and all the furniture were priced at only 8,000 yuan, which was nearly 30% less than the price of other yards of the same size.
If calculated based on the current salary of an ordinary worker, one person can buy such a large yard by saving money for ten years. If a family has two or three workers, it will only take a few years. But it is hard to imagine it in the future.
However, no matter how cheap it is, 8,000 is still a large amount of money. Moreover, many people see that Grandpa Zhang is in a hurry to sell the house and want to lower the price, so there are many people who come to see the house, but no one is sure to buy it.
Su Miao was somewhat tempted by this and discussed it with his father: "Dad, do you think we should buy Grandpa Zhang's house?"
"Do you want to buy it?"
"I think that although the environment we live in now is much better than Grandpa Zhang's courtyard, we are renting it after all. We will have to buy our own house in the future. It's hard to find a house in this location and at this price."
Su Yuanzheng nodded. "I think it's fine. We've seen that yard before, and it's in great shape. We don't necessarily have to live there right away after we buy it. Since it's so close, we can slowly renovate it to suit our needs. It will be comfortable to live in later. But, aren't you really afraid that Grandpa Zhang's grandson will cause trouble?"
"Grandpa Zhang said they signed an agreement, which is legally binding. Besides, if they really want to come, we can just call the police and arrest them. I heard that his grandson works at the company, so the control over him will be stronger."
"Okay, let's buy the yard from Grandpa Zhang."
In the evening, Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao came to Grandpa Zhang and told him about their idea of buying a house. Grandpa Zhang was very happy.
"Great! It would be great if you could buy it. Your family is particular about it, so I feel comfortable selling it to you. How about this? I'll cover all the transaction fees and taxes, and you only have to pay 8,000. Is that okay?"
Originally, Su Miao hadn't thought about lowering the price, but now that Grandpa Zhang offered to cover the taxes and fees, it was naturally better.
Both parties drafted the contract and signed it.
The next day, we went to the bank together to transfer the money, and then went to the housing management office to handle the formalities.
In half a day, all the procedures were completed and the courtyard was officially named Su.
The Su family was not in a hurry to move in, so they asked Grandpa Zhang to pack up slowly and it would be okay to stay for a few more days.
Grandpa Zhang had finished his work and there was no need to delay any longer, so he packed his luggage and left the next day.
His son-in-law drove the company car over and put all the things in it. Grandpa Zhang said, "Xiao Liang, let's go eat some braised food. Don't you have a camera? Take a picture of me and the Su family members."
Xiao Liang pulled out a large device from the suitcase and said with a smile, "Dad! This isn't a camera. This is something more advanced. It's a video recorder. It's like making a movie. It records people's portraits on videotape."
"Oh, that's fine too. It's just a souvenir."
They came into the store and ordered a set meal and pork offal. Su Miao happened to come back from school, so they handed the keys to her.
Although the new owner will definitely replace the lock after the house is sold, the key still needs to be returned, which also means that the yard will have nothing to do with them in the future.
Su Miao also brought some food over and ate with them at the same table, chatting with them. Uncle Liang also turned on the video recorder and took a short video of them.
But because videotapes are quite expensive nowadays, he was reluctant to shoot too long and turned it off after a while.
More and more customers came into the store to eat. The two men who had been squatting at the alley across the street for half an hour saw that the store was almost full and decided to take action.
"Brother, there are more and more people now. It will be difficult for us to do it later. If we share the table, others will see us."
"What are you afraid of? How can you do anything with such little courage? If you see it, then see it. If anyone dares to meddle, give him a punch. It's only effective when there are many people around now. If there is no one here, I would have come here in vain."
"Well... okay then." Song Laoer touched his left pocket. There were two dead cockroaches in it. He would rely on them today.
The two brothers swaggered into the store, looked at the menu, and ordered two servings of braised rice, both with braised meat and pig heart.
They chose a corner seat and sat down. Boss Song cursed inwardly, "Business is so good, they must be making a lot of money! Then let them lose more!"
Just as they were about to start eating, Tang Ziyi and Zhang Feng arrived. They were going back to Beijing to study next semester, and wanted to take advantage of this time to eat more of Laoyou's pork offal, after all, they would not be able to eat it when they returned to Beijing.
The meals they received were always larger in quantity without increasing the price. They looked around the store with their meals in their hands, and someone just happened to finish eating and stand up.
They came over and asked, "Hello! Can we share a table?"
"Um...I guess so."
The Song brothers looked at the two young men who were taller than themselves and swallowed silently.
Tang Ziyi and Zhang Feng started eating like crazy. Seeing that the two people at the same table hadn't touched their chopsticks, Tang Ziyi said, "Brothers, eat while it's hot. The rice here is delicious. You ordered the braised food. You can try the pork offal next time. It's just as delicious."
"Oh! Good!"
In order to prevent the two guys from noticing anything, Boss Song winked at his younger brother, indicating that they both had to eat and try their best to behave like normal diners.
Unexpectedly, after just one bite, Boss Song became addicted to it.
The soft and glutinous braised meat melts in your mouth. It is spread on the hot rice. The soup has soaked the rice grains. Use a spoon to scoop a big mouthful and put it into your mouth. The overbearing and fragrant braised flavor instantly fills your taste buds.
Although braised in the same pot, the braised pig heart has a completely different taste. It has a slightly elastic feel and the flavor is fully braised.
If you feel sick of eating meat alone, the set meal also comes with freshly stir-fried vegetables, which are crisp and refreshing and neutralize the greasiness of the braised meat.
Seeing his elder brother so obsessed with it, Song Lao Er couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked, "Brother, is it so delicious?"
Boss Song, his mouth full of food, mumbled, "Delicious! Try it! No wonder business is so good!"
"Wow! It's really delicious! Why does it smell so good!"
Song Lao Er also picked up the braised meat and put it into his mouth. The oily feeling was really satisfying. He liked this kind of oily dishes the most. This one was fat but not greasy, which was just what he wanted!
