The economic situation has been bad in recent years, and many people who couldn't make it in the city have returned to the village. Some wealthy families have also left, so there are many empty houses.
In his spare time, Li Hongru often went to look at houses, but he was not satisfied with any of them after visiting several.
He doesn't want anything that's too worn out or old, and he can't afford anything that's too big.
One day, he was passing through an alley when he heard two people arguing:
"Brother, you are about to leave Le'an, what's wrong with giving me the house?"
"Second brother, you still dare to say that? Haven't I taken care of you enough over the years? You're such a heartless person! Don't even think about taking advantage of me again."
The two people refused to give in to each other and quarreled for a long time before they separated in anger.
When Li Hongru heard this, he felt that his opportunity had come, so he followed the man who had the house.
"Hello, comrade. Excuse me."
Wang Gangqiang was startled when he saw someone suddenly blocking his way. After realizing what was happening, he asked:
"Who are you? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Comrade, this is what happened. I just passed by the alley and heard that your family has an empty house. I just want to buy a house to get married, so, you see..."
Wang Gangqiang didn't expect that his quarrel with his brother was seen by others. Thinking about what happened just now, his face turned cold again and his tone was not very good:
"Okay, come with me to see the house!"
The house is not big, it is a clean courtyard with two cave dwellings in the main house, and a bungalow and a kitchen next to it.
There is also a well and a small vegetable patch in the yard, but the yard is paved with cement and is very flat, which makes Li Hongru very satisfied.
"Comrade, how are you going to sell this house?"
"The price is 450 yuan. Don't think it's too expensive. This house was just renovated six years ago, and I won't take the furniture with me."
Li Hongru looked around and found that everything was indeed relatively new. He didn't want to bargain, mainly because he was afraid of trouble in the future.
"Comrade, to be honest, I like this house very much, but I don't know if there will be any subsequent troubles after I buy it."
When Wang Gangqiang heard this, he understood that the other party was afraid that his brother would cause trouble.
"Comrade, don't worry. I'll be moving south in three days. I have an acquaintance at the Housing Authority. Bring your household registration and letter of introduction, and it will be done quickly."
"My brother bullies the weak and fears the strong. Don't worry, after the transfer, he won't dare to do anything to you."
"Okay, that puts my mind at ease."
The two people agreed to take their belongings to the Housing Authority early the next morning to transfer the ownership and then separate.
Since I had an acquaintance there, the Housing Authority was very quick and issued the transfer certificate in less than ten minutes.
Although the buying and selling of houses is not allowed openly now, the management is not that strict now, and the transfer of personal housing is still allowed.
With a new house, Li Hongru is full of expectations for his future life. His house is in the city, very close to the vegetable market and hospital, making his future life very convenient.
It was another Sunday, and Li Hongru happily came to Shuanglong Village on his newly bought bicycle.
He planned to pick up Zhang Weifang to visit his newly bought house today, which would show his determination.
When Li Hongru came this time, he brought half a pound of fruit candy and 8 taels of fat meat from his second brother's house.
As soon as he entered the Zhang family's gate, Li Hongru softened a little, with an eager smile on his face:
"Uncle, aunt, I'm here to see Weifang."
"Hongru is here, come in quickly, Weifang, there are guests."
Zhang Weifang was chatting with the Yue Lao system when she heard her mother's gentle voice.
"There are guests coming? I don't know who it is." Zhang Weifang complained in his heart.
When Zhang Weifang lifted the curtain and looked out, she saw Li Hongru smiling. His handsome eyes and eyebrows were immersed in the sunlight, which made Zhang Weifang's heart beat fast.
“You’re here!”
"Well, I came to see you. How have you been these past few days?"
"fine."
In front of her parents, Zhang Weifang was a little shy, so she spoke much more softly.
"Uncle, aunt, I want to take Weifang for a walk in the city today."
"Go, go, and come back early." When Zhang Qiao Na saw the fat on the chopping board, her mind had already wandered away.
Zhang Weifang sat on the back of the bicycle without saying a word as the two of them jolted along the way to the county town.
After finally arriving in the city, Zhang Weifang couldn't help but jump off. She touched her sore butt and regretted riding the bicycle.
"Li Hongru, the road is uneven and it's uncomfortable for me to ride the bicycle."
"I didn't think it through. I'll put a cushion on the back seat next time." Li Hongru felt a little guilty.
"It's okay. You don't sit here often anyway." Zhang Weifang didn't blame him.
The weather was too hot, so Li Hongru bought two popsicles, and the two of them ate the popsicles all the way to the new house.
"Weifang, look, this is the new house I bought. We will live here after we get married. What do you think?" Li Hongru's tone was boastful.
Zhang Weifang was not disappointed. She looked at the house carefully and was very satisfied. At least the walls were clean, unlike her house where mud fell from time to time.
“The house is nice and clean.”
"And my bicycle is also new. The one I borrowed last time was from the factory."
Li Hongru was even happier when he saw that Zhang Weifang was very satisfied with the house. He quickly told her about the bicycle he had just bought to tell Zhang Weifang that he was serious and had money.
"Well, that's good. You spent a lot of money, right? Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Weifang was also happy. It seemed that the man she found was financially capable.
She would not hypocritically tell you not to spend money. After all, these are things that should be spent. Besides, you can only earn money if you can spend it. She would urge Li Hongru to make more money.
Sure enough, Li Hongru was very happy to hear this. The two of them went to a state-owned restaurant to have dinner, watched a movie, and bought Zhang Weifang a set of clothes. Only then did Li Hongru send her home.
When they returned home, a cushion had been tied to the back seat of the bicycle. No one knew where Li Hongru found it, but Zhang Weifang was very satisfied with his attentiveness.
On the way back from Shuanglong Village, Li Hongru was very happy and even sang a song. Both of them were very satisfied with their first date.
In the evening, Zhang Weifang ate delicious oil residue. In this era of oil and water shortage, oil residue is really what everyone yearns for.
"Weifang, I think Xiao Li is a very nice and generous person. He brought a generous gift today." Zhang Qiao Na is now very satisfied with her son-in-law in every aspect.
The others ate meat and thought Li Hongru was good. The children also ate candy. They were all looking forward to the next Sunday.
"Host, your compatibility has increased and is now 70. Your happiness has also reached 70." The Yue Lao system took the time to pop up, and it was also very happy:
"Host, your mission should be completed soon."
