Chapter 129
The old lady brought them into the house, looked at Bai Xiuxiu, then at Wang Qinghe, and then at the two children who were now being held by Wang Qinghe. She smiled more amiably than yesterday, and even found some sunflower seeds for the two children.
"This is newly cooked this year, for the two children. Let me show you this room again." Seventh Aunt looked at Bai Xiu Xiu, her tone much better than when she spoke to Wang Qing and them yesterday.
Xiao Zhang quickly helped the person sit down and said, "Seventh Aunt, please stop fussing. I'll take Brother Wang and Sister-in-law to see it. Wait until we're done, then we can talk."
"That's fine, you can take a break and then go watch it."
The old lady put the kettle on the stove, which she had lit early this morning.
I originally wanted to wait to receive Bai Xiu Xiu and Wang Qing He, but I didn't expect to encounter such an unlucky thing first.
"Brother Wang, sister-in-law, I'll take you to see the house."
Xiao Zhang took the two of them to look at the two houses again. This house was spacious and not too shabby.
What's important is that the house is clean.
Bai Xiuxiu also liked it at first sight. The important thing is that the vegetable garden is not small and the wall is high enough.
It's a safe place to live.
It fits her idea very well.
Moreover, it is difficult to find a house at this time, and it is even more difficult to buy a satisfactory one.
Xiao Zhang took the two of them to look around and said, "Brother Wang, sister-in-law, do you like this yard?"
Wang Qinghe looked at his wife: "Xiu Xiu, what do you think?"
Bai Xiuxiu nodded: "This house is perfect for our family of four. We can live in the east room, and we can make a small partition in the west room for the two children to live in. Besides, there is a factory nearby. It would be even better if you could work in the factory here."
Wang Qinghe thought so too.
Seeing my wife's attitude, I am very satisfied.
Wang Qinghe then confirmed this with Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, we like this house very much."
"That's it, let's go into the house and talk to Seventh Aunt first." Xiao Zhang was also happy, this house was quite nice.
Brother Wang made a good deal by buying this house.
Moreover, Brother Wang will live in the county in the future, so it will be convenient for him to come and visit Brother Wang whenever he wants.
Several people came into the house and the old lady made some tea.
"Have you finished reading? Come and sit down and have some tea. This tea was brought by my son-in-law. If you have anything to say, let's have a cup of tea and talk." The old lady was so enthusiastic that Xiao Zhang was puzzled.
Usually, Seventh Aunt doesn't seem to be someone who is easy to get along with.
That is to say, he often came to help with the work, and Seventh Aunt still smiled at him.
That was not the case yesterday.
After they had a few drinks, Xiao Zhang started to raise the price: "Seventh Aunt, my brother Wang and sister-in-law have liked this house, but I don't know..."
"Four hundred and fifty yuan." The old lady suddenly spoke.
Xiao Zhang was shocked. The five hundred yuan that Qigu had asked for was fair for this house. He had originally wanted to cut the price down a little, but why did Qigu cut herself?
The old lady did not explain, but looked at Wang Qinghe, Bai Xiuxiu and their two children.
"Do you think this is okay?"
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he looked at Wang Qinghe angrily.
Wang Qinghe looked at his wife.
"Seventh Aunt, are you willing to sell the yard to us for this price?" Bai Xiu Xiu was also surprised. After all, Qinghe had already told her Seventh Aunt's asking price.
It's not difficult to sell this house for a good price, and there is no shortage of buyers.
The old lady seemed surprised to see her and smiled. She looked at the four of them with a far-reaching gaze and spoke with nostalgia: "When these houses were distributed to us in the early years, they were connected in a row and each family built their own wall.
That's how it is now.
My husband and I have lived here for several years.
My husband used to work in a food factory. That year they bought a new machine, and the factory director took the lead in working together to carry the machine into the factory.
It is said that it is for the sake of spirit and to set an example for everyone.
As a result, the parts on the machine were not securely installed and fell off.
It almost hit the factory director, and my husband was hit on the head by the component while trying to save him.
The person was sent to the hospital, but could not be saved.
This house was given to me.
My girlfriend and I have been living here for so long that we have become attached to everything in the house.
I also want to find a good home for this house.
I see that your family is getting along harmoniously and there seems to be a familiarity between you two.
I absolutely won't agree to sell this house to someone else for less than 500 yuan. But if you want it, this is the price. If you agree, we'll go back to the Housing Authority." The old lady said, and gave each of the two children a handful of melon seeds.
Bai Xiu Xiu and Wang Qinghe looked at each other and made a decision.
"Thank you, Aunt Qi. We have bought this house. Let's find a time that's convenient for you and go to the Housing Management Office." Bai Xiu Xiu agreed immediately.
"Then let's get it done this afternoon. You guys bring all the necessary documents, and I'll pack up. We'll go to the Housing Authority this afternoon. Once the house issue is settled, I'll take my things and go look for my daughter."
Seventh Aunt was anxious and didn't want to wait any longer.
Bai Xiuxiu didn't expect that Seventh Aunt was more anxious than her and Wang Qinghe.
However, the longer the night, the more dreams one may have. The sooner you get it done, the sooner you can feel at ease.
"Okay, then let's go back and get the things and come back in the afternoon." Bai Xiu Xiu agreed.
"Brother Wang, can I take you there?" Xiao Zhang hurried to follow him out.
"No need, your sister-in-law and I will go back." Wang Qinghe stopped Xiao Zhang who was about to send them off, and left with his wife and two children.
After they left, Xiao Zhang helped the old lady back to the house. He couldn't help but be curious: "Seventh Aunt, why are you so easy to talk to today?"
Seventh Aunt smiled, and the nostalgic look in her eyes became stronger: "Seventh Aunt likes to see pretty girls, and also likes to see harmonious couples, and the two children, they are so cute. I have lived in this house for so many years, and it is a good thing that such a blessed family can live in it.
Your uncle left me a daughter and this house in his lifetime.
I'm moving out to be closer to my daughter.
If this house is left unused for a long time, it will become deteriorating. It needs people to live in it to be lively.
I feel comfortable looking at this family. Whether it is the couple or the two children, they are all good-looking.
There will be something promising in the future."
What the old lady said left Xiao Zhang speechless.
So, after saying so much, Seventh Aunt just looks at the face?
However, Brother Wang and his sister-in-law are really good-looking.
The two children are even better looking, as if they look the same with both of their best features.
"Seventh Aunt, there won't be any trouble in the yard next to yours, right?" Xiao Zhang suddenly remembered the family that left when they came here.
Suddenly I became nervous.
Brother Wang is so worried about his sister-in-law, it would be bad if any conflict arises later.
