There are six buyers in total, excluding those who bought the property individually, there are also three who bought the property as a whole.
Among these three households, one is currently living in another nearby village and is only temporarily considering moving. There is no guarantee that they will change their mind at the last minute.
As for other aspects of a person's character and integrity, we cannot just rely on what the villagers say.
At least I have a general idea of the situation.
Li Xiujun pinched the corner of her clothes, her heart rippled: "Thank you, Third Uncle, I will pay attention."
The other party thanked him out of habit and it was impossible to correct the situation for a while.
Gu Qingming sighed silently, but his face remained gentle. He reached out and touched her head: "I will come to pick you up at two o'clock in the afternoon in about four days. If you really can't handle it, just wait for me to come."
Apart from grandpa, my third uncle was the first person to comfort me in this way.
Nodding, Li Xiujun pushed him into the car.
"I know, I know. Uncle San, please go back quickly. There are no street lights nearby. If it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the road clearly."
Even though Gu Qingming still has time to give these instructions, apart from coming to the hospital to take care of Mr. Li, he wishes he could spend the rest of his time in the company.
Even in the hospital, Li Xiujun often ran into him standing in the corridor, never putting down the phone in his hand.
As he got into the car, he gave many instructions.
She couldn't help laughing until the jeep gradually disappeared from her sight.
Whether in this life or the previous one, Uncle San’s worries are still as severe as ever.
They left in a hurry and were afraid that it would be difficult to fit everything in the car, so they only packed the necessities.
The old house still retains its previous appearance, with bundles of firewood piled beside the earthen kang, smoked bacon and sausages hanging on ropes pulled from the ceiling, and the old incandescent lamps creaking and shaking, making the room dim.
Everything is exactly as it was when I left.
Grandpa seemed to still be sitting at the door, with a roasted sweet potato in his arms.
Li Xiujun wiped her eyes, lit a fire and fetched water.
Compared to his previous life, grandpa can now receive treatment in the hospital in advance, and their lives are completely free from the past. It is already a great blessing in life.
After a simple wash, she quickly fell asleep, smelling the familiar scent of soap in the quilt.
She slept very comfortably, perhaps because she had lived in the environment for many years. When she heard the crowing of a rooster, Li Xiujun's body became aware of it and she got up directly.
It wasn't until it came into contact with the cold tap water that he reacted.
It was unrealistic to lie down again after waking up, so she simply brushed her teeth, washed her face, and made a simple dish of dumplings.
I've lived here for over a decade, and I still don't know which household the crowing rooster belongs to. It always crows at six in the morning, rain or shine.
Li Xiujun prepared a dipping sauce of soy sauce and chili peppers, then took out a few antiques she had brought back and tried to repair them.
If it can be repaired, the price can be doubled or tripled. If not, it can only be polished into other ornaments, which can also be sold for money.
After all, there is no difference between them and ordinary carpenters and blacksmiths.
In essence, they all make a living by relying on their skills.
As soon as she started working, Li Xiujun immediately devoted herself to repairing antiques and didn't even have time to eat dumplings.
Xiu stretched and looked at the time. It was already two in the afternoon. She was still thinking about collecting the debt, so she hurriedly shoveled a few cold dumplings into her mouth.
The few scattered families who bought the land were quite easy to talk to and just bargained for the price.
Li Xiujun estimated that this was not a big deal, so they compromised and both sides were satisfied.
According to her original plan, the three households that bought the entire piece of land would each make a trip in the afternoon, and then go to the neighboring village, so they could barely get back before dark.
But as soon as I knocked on the door, I was met with a cold shoulder. The child of the other family ran out and said that the adults were not at home.
That’s fine. At worst, I can do it again the next day.
The second family was weird. They actually said they wanted to experience it for a few days.
Li Xiujun had visited the fields before. New sprouts were sprouting here and there in the supposedly barren fields. Planting crops wasn't like growing anything else; it wouldn't take ten days or half a month to see such significant results.
I argued with her about using it privately before reaching an agreement, but she evaded me with a shrewd reply: "You little girl, do you understand the ways of the world? Okay, call your parents over."
Aunt Liu had heard a long time ago that Mr. Li had gone to Beijing for medical treatment. She had calculated well that she did not have much land to spare for the time being, so she used the name of buying land to delay the transaction for two or three months.
When the crops are grown, just say you don't like them and leave.
How could a girl of ten years old possibly win an argument over her?
Not to mention anything else, I don’t even know how many times more salt I’ve eaten.
Li Xiujun didn't want to disrupt her plan for the time being, so she spent all her time with Aunt Liu and hurried to the nearby village.
From the other side's perspective, they felt that this method had a significant effect, and suddenly became even more unruly.
The family in the neighboring village finally became normal, but they were still very conflicted about whether to move or not.
The man thought that the village was mostly populated by elderly people and children, with few opportunities for work and training. The woman, on the other hand, felt that after moving away, it would be too far from her parents' home and that returning would be inconvenient.
"It's only a short distance away. It's not like I won't be coming back in the future. Think about it, if I have a child in the future, how will my current salary be enough to send him to school?"
"Let's wait until we have a baby. Moving to a new place where we don't know anyone will be a hassle. If anything happens, we won't have anyone to help us. The way things are now is good. There's no need to worry about the future too soon."
"If we don't consider it now, when will we consider it? When we are too old to move? Then it will be too late!"
"I can't argue with you. Anyway, I won't move. If you want to move, you can move it yourself..."
Li Xiujun stood at the door awkwardly, not wanting to interrupt and interfere in the couple's argument.
After listening for a while, until the woman angrily slammed the door and left, the man came over and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, you can see that this is the situation. For the time being, we may not be able to make a decision."
She could only nod to show her understanding.
"It's okay, think about it carefully. Come to me anytime when you make a decision."
It was not so difficult for those who lived in the same village, at least it was only a few steps away. But in the neighboring villages, she still had to cross two or three mountains, and her body really couldn't bear such a constant tossing and turning.
The first day of collecting debts was so difficult.
Uncle San already has a lot of things to do, and it's not easy for him to make time to pick me up and drop me off. I can't bother him to do such a small thing as asking for money.
Li Xiujun took a pen and wrote down the situation of the three families one by one on a piece of paper.
After passing the last two households, she always felt that the first family was not at home, which was just an excuse to send the children out.
