Zhang Bingchen took them to look around the area first, and then talked about the structure of the house and the price the owner was asking.
Lu Xiaotang nodded gratefully to him, "Brother Zhang, considering the house prices here, do you think the asking price is high?"
Zhang Bingchen said, "It's not too high. The yard is quite big and it's in the town. I can grow some vegetables for myself in the yard in the future."
Xu Ning was very happy when he heard this. For such a big yard, and only two big yellow croakers, it should be worth more than 3,000 RMB according to the current exchange rate.
In a few years, the prices of houses here will increase by dozens of times, not to mention decades later.
She plans to buy it now, and it would be best if she could complete the procedures today to avoid any further complications.
Lu Xiaotang was also very interested, so he asked Zhang Bingchen to take them over to ask.
A middle-aged woman opened the door. When she heard that they were there to look at the house, she led them in.
Xu Ning walked into the yard and began to look around. The yard was quite large.
There are four main rooms and two on the right, which should be the kitchen and utility room.
There is a shed on the left with some firewood inside. Next to the shed are the bathroom and toilet. It is a common farmyard in the south.
There was an old lady who looked very shrewd sitting in the room. When she heard her daughter-in-law say that they were buying a house, she looked at the people and said, "I only want gold."
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "Old lady, we heard about it when we came here. I wonder how much you are asking for this yard?"
Seeing that he was straightforward, the old lady also said directly: "Two large yellow croakers, no bargaining."
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The house purchase went smoothly. There was only an old lady in their family, along with her daughter-in-law and grandson.
After agreeing on the price, Xu Ning proposed to go to An County to handle the formalities.
The family had been trying to sell their house for a long time and were anxious to go to Hong Kong to reunite with their family.
The daughter-in-law rode a bicycle with her mother-in-law and went to An County with them.
Luo Yong helped to find an acquaintance and quickly completed all the procedures.
The two of them played in An County for another two days, went to a fishing village to buy some seafood, and then prepared to return to Beijing.
Before leaving, Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning invited Luo Yong's family to have a meal at a state-owned restaurant.
Zhang Meifeng bought them a lot of local specialties, and when she sent them out, she kept saying, "Don't leave until after the Chinese New Year! If you go back now, you two will have to spend the Chinese New Year on the train."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm about to start school. Let's come over when we're free."
"Okay then, you two can go back without worry. I'll take care of the house for you. After the New Year, I'll build two more rooms as you requested."
Lu Xiaotang and Luo Yong were also talking on the side, "Brother Luo, if you have enough money, buy a yard and put it there."
Luo Yong looked at him in surprise, "Xiaotang, do you mean this side will..."
Lu Xiaotang didn't answer him, but just said: "Brother Luo, Xiaohui is getting older, buy a bigger yard, so that he can have more space when he gets married."
After thinking for a while, he whispered, "Buy it early."
Luo Yong patted his shoulder gratefully and said, "Okay, I understand."
Luo Yong and Zhang Meifeng rode their bicycles to take them to the bus station and waited until the two got on the bus before returning.
When they got home and put their bicycles away, Luo Yong asked Zhang Meifeng, "Meifeng, how much money do we have now?"
Zhang Meifeng asked in surprise: "What's the matter? Did something happen?"
Luo Yong told her what Lu Xiaotang had just said.
"Xiaotang is very cautious. He asked us to prepare a house for Xiaohui in advance. If we listen to him, we will definitely not go wrong."
After listening to him, Zhang Meifeng went to the inner room and came out with a small box after a while.
"All the money I've saved over the years is here, including your retirement pay and our salaries over the past few years, which add up to less than 4,000 yuan."
Luo Yong was surprised to see the box and said, "Wife, you really know how to live. I thought it would be good for our family to have 2,000 yuan, but I didn't expect to have so much."
Zhang Meifeng sighed and said, "We only have one child in our family, and our expenses are not high. I save your salary, and I use my monthly salary for household expenses."
Luo Yong patted his wife comfortingly and said with a smile: "What's wrong with having only one child? Our Xiaohui is so sensible, good at studying and filial. I don't envy other people for having so many children."
Zhang Meifeng smiled and glared at him, "You are really a self-promoting braggart."
The couple chatted and laughed for a while, then Luo Yong straightened his face and said, "Wife, you should go to Shenzhen again tomorrow.
Ask Bingchen to keep an eye out and see if there is anyone selling a yard so we can buy one there. ”
Zhang Meifeng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Luo Yong warned again: "Don't disclose these things to anyone."
"Yeah, I understand."
