Song Jinxi: "Is there any empty house? It would be best if it's close to the mountains and quieter!"
The team leader: "There is a place that meets your requirements very well. The house was vacant three months ago. You can move in after cleaning it up. It has a large yard, high walls, and a well! And it is a big brick and tile house. Most of the walls in our village are 1.6 meters high, but because it is close to the mountain, the wall of that yard is 1.8 meters high! It's all good. There are no other houses nearby, and the closest one is about 100 meters away. But that place is too close to Niu Mupeng. I don't mind, but I'm afraid you will think..."
Song Jinxi: "I like quietness, so it's good like this. With them here, I guess everyone will go up the mountain from the other side. Can you sell this house to me? I'll buy it. If I leave, the house will belong to the village."
Then he changed his tone, half joking and half serious, "But I am the one who decides the house right now. Even if you are Uncle Song, you can't squeeze anyone in. Even though we both have the surname Song and may have been one family hundreds of years ago, I won't give you, a retired soldier, face!"
The captain: "Hahaha! Okay, no problem. After you buy it, it's yours. I can still control whether you let others live in it or not. It's all up to you. However, the house is big. You have to make sure you can buy it for 90 yuan, and pay it in full at one time. Give me the money now, don't worry about me cheating you, come and see the house first."
Song Jinxi waved his hand and said, "What are you looking at? I admire soldiers the most. Whether you are a retired veteran or a captain, there is no need for you to lie to me, a kid who just came to the countryside and is only 8 years old! I will give you the money, and I think you can issue a certificate when I go back. I can get my residence permit in a few days. How great!
By the way, Uncle Song, I'd like to trouble you to find two people to check if there are any potential safety hazards in the house, and then repair what needs to be repaired. I just arrived and can't provide meals, so I'll give you a little more salary, do you mind?"
The team leader: "The wages are fifty cents per person. If you don't provide meals, it's only sixty cents. I don't think there's much to repair. The brick house has only been empty for three months. I'll go take a look when I get back. If there's no big problem, I'll take my good-for-nothing son to help you with some simple maintenance. I won't ask others for money, and I'll forget about the wages. And you can move in tonight."
Grandpa Niu chuckled: "You girl got things done with just a few words. You are only 8 years old this year. How smart will you be when you grow up?"
"Hehe, maybe the cleverness of the whole family has come to me! This is for you and Uncle Song to play with, it's all the younger generation's thoughts~ Uncle Song, please don't argue with me, I gave it to you after I finished the job, it's not a bribe or flattery. It's just a thought!"
Grandpa Niu widened his eyes, then smiled and accepted it.
The captain was very confused, but he didn't ask. If he was favored, he wouldn't go to the countryside, and if he wasn't favored, he couldn't afford cigarettes! The Daqianmen Cigarette Supply and Marketing Cooperative sold cigarettes for 35 cents a pack, and these two packs were given away for 70 cents. In the end, he probably imagined 100 rounds of child abuse in his mind, and Song Jinxi didn't correct him. It doesn't matter what you think, just think of yourself as miserable, so that it will be easier to do things in the future!
Tang Tiantian asked quickly, "Uncle Song, are there any other vacant houses at the foot of the mountain? It would be best if it's closer to Jinxi. I want to buy it too."
