Chapter 7 Buying a House
Everywhere in the room was flooded. Gu Xuelan didn't want to go in and take a look, and her good impression of the house was gone.
Liu Wangxue was still thinking about this small yard and said, "Mom, why don't we wait for the landlord to take care of it first and then we come back tomorrow?"
Gu Xuelan wanted to refuse, but before she spoke, An old man followed the voice and said, "Is Qingsong here?"
The old man has a kind smile, which makes it easy for people to like him.
Liu Wangxue smiled and nodded.
The old man glanced at it and said in surprise: "Hey, why is it flooded like this!"
Xu Qingsong heard the sound and came out to take a look: "Second Master, why are you here?"
The old man ignored him and asked Liu Wangxue and his family with a smile: "Who are here to see the house? It's flooded like this. It will definitely not be habitable without major repairs. How about going to see it?" Look at my house."
Xu Qingsong was a little embarrassed, interrupted the old man, and said to Liu Wangxue's family: "I'm really sorry, the water pipes may be a little old. I have already called the landlord and asked him to call someone. Come and fix it”
"So, go and take a look at my house." The old man sincerely suggested, "This community is already old. The electrical circuits, water pipes, etc. are all old, and it will be troublesome to live in the back. My house"
Xu Qingsong He locked the door, said sorry again, and pulled the old man out of the unit: "Second Master, why did you come to see me?"
The old man clapped his hands: "I'm just asking you to help sell the house. , you are not at home, your mother said you I came here to see the house."
Liu Wangxue and her parents also came out. The old man looked at them sincerely: "My house also has a yard, although it is also an old house. But the house was renovated the year before last, and the water pipes and lines were replaced with new ones. My yard is bigger than this one. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Liu Wangxue didn't resist the temptation of the yard. Wanting to go see it, Gu Xuelan had no choice but to agree. But Liu Nanshan's shoes were wet, and they had to go back to the hotel first. Liu Wangxue asked for the address and said, "We will go directly there in the afternoon."
But Xu Qingsong said that there was no public transportation there and it was a little far to walk. He asked: "If it is convenient, tell me which hotel is it and I will drive to pick you up in the afternoon."
Liu Wangxue said I mentioned the name of the hotel and made an appointment.
On the way back, Gu Xuelan couldn't help but blame her: "Why do you trust strangers so easily? Go visit a house you don't know where. What if they have evil intentions?"
“Oh,” Liu Wangxue said coquettishly, “it’s because you and dad are here, right, dad.”
Liu Nanshan was very confident: “With me here, who dares, My daughter can do whatever she wants.”
Suddenly Liu Wangxue's cell phone rang. When she saw it, it was Xu Qingsong who had sent her the location of the house. She immediately handed it to Gu Xuelan and said, "Hey, I'm really not a liar. Besides, what can I do to lie to you?"
Gu Xuelan really couldn’t do anything to her.
Then, Xu Qingsong explained the general situation of the house to Liu Wangxue. Typing it could alleviate the embarrassment in his heart a little.
Xu Qingsong: [The house is a self-built house on state-owned land. The bungalow with a yard is about 90 square meters, and there is less than two cents of vegetable plot. 】
Xu Qingsong: [There are few residents around, and it is basically farmland, so it is very quiet. 】
Xu Qingsong: [Anyway, you should go take a look first and then talk. 】
Liu Catkin: [Okay. Thank you]
Actually, it’s a bit long to talk about the house.
Xu Qingsong’s family moved to Qiushui Town from his great-grandfather’s generation.
The Xu family’s great-grandfather’s house is called the Xu family’s big house in a more retro style.
The Xu family has many properties, and some are even leaders in the industry. When my great-grandfather's father was critically ill, the competition for the family property entered a fierce stage. Only my great-great-grandfather truly guarded his father and served him as a filial piety. The old man loved his son, and all the wills he left favored him. However, my great-grandfather was indifferent to fame and fortune, and his thoughts were not on business. He only wanted money and some real estate, and even refused the shares.
But who knows, the other two rooms are not satisfied, and they suspect that the old man has given the big room something more valuable. After the old man passed away, the two families joined forces and pressed forward step by step.
In desperation, my great-grandfather sold the property, took his wife and two sons to Qiushui Town, bought a piece of land through state-owned transfer, built a house, and lived a small life.
It can only be said that children will be like the kind of parents they are. Grandpa’s two sons also regard money as dirt. The eldest son is obsessed with archeology and the younger son is obsessed with wood carving. They are both people with their own pursuits in life.
After settling in Qiushui Town, my great-grandfather no longer had contact with the Xu family, but he still kept in touch with his maternal family.
Later, when the two sons grew up, the original old house was demolished and rebuilt, and two yards were divided.
The youngest son is naturally Xu Qingsong’s second master.
The year before last, the second master’s son bought a villa in the city, and it was only completed at the end of last year. He wanted to take the second master there to take care of himself, and he has no plans to come back in the future.
Originally, the house and land were to be transferred to Xu Qingsong’s name, but Xu Qingsong didn’t want it because it was too troublesome.
His original words were: "I just came back to rest, and I don't want to worry about that."
The second master said: "If you don't have to worry about it, just rent it out. Just take a look at it and you'll be fine."
Xu Qingsong still refused: "There is a rural area next to it. Who doesn't have land? Who in the city is willing to go to the countryside to rent land for farming?"
The second master had to give up.
Later one time, Xu Qingsong’s college roommate brought a few people over to play. One of them fell in love with the life here and asked him to help keep an eye on whether there was a house to buy.
In this way, Xu Qingsong helped the residents of the town make their first business.
No one could have imagined that people would still be willing to buy this kind of old house with thirty or forty years of property rights left. Those who were willing to sell their houses approached Xu Qingsong one after another.
Xu Qingsong had nothing to do, so he took a short video and persuaded the second master to transfer the house and land together.
The second master’s son also agreed, but the second master and the second wife were reluctant to part with it.
After hesitating for a long time, seeing that Xu Qingsong really had no intention of taking over, he made the decision just before moving.
In the afternoon, when Xu Qingsong arrived with Liu Wangxue and her parents, the main door of the second master's house was wide open, and the draft blew through, carrying a light and elegant fragrance.
The old couple are packing things together. The second wife was wearing an everyday cheongsam. She was slender and wore a jade bracelet. Her hair was tied back with a wooden hairpin. When seeing someone coming, he first smiles, even his wrinkles are elegant.
Liu Wangxue admires this kind of people the most. The beauty in their bones will not fade with the aging of their skin.
After looking around inside and out, Liu Wangxue liked it very much.
The bungalow is built relatively high, with a transparent and spacious space. The kitchen and bathroom are all modern, and the indoor furniture is all antique style and made of solid wood.
And they are all made by the second master himself.
What surprised Liu Wangxue and his parents the most was that the bed in the master bedroom was a carved canopy bed, and the second bedroom was an embossed Arhat bed. Once you see it, you can't take your eyes away.
Gu Xuelan is a history teacher in a college. She loves these retro and antique things. She wanted to have a carved canopy bed in her early years, but unfortunately her family’s conditions did not allow it.
