None of the Ye family expected that Ye Fan could be admitted to Beijing University while working and raising children, so when they saw the notice with their own eyes, they were all surprised and happy. No one cared that Geng Zhiye had forgotten to mention that he had gone to the National Defense University for two years to study last time.
Tao Chunlan wanted to give Ye Fan extra food, but the meat market was restricted. Ye Qian and Li Mingyue rode their bikes to buy roast duck and chicken. They passed by the vegetable market on the way and bought a large watermelon.
After lunch, Geng Zhiye said that he was worried about Dabao and Erbao, so Tao Chunlan had to let his daughter and son-in-law go back.
On the way, Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye: "Shall we buy a house?"
Geng Zhiye: "What did Aunt Yu say?"
"It has nothing to do with her. There is a high school and an elementary school near Beijing University. We will move there and Aunt Yu will send the second baby to the same school as Benben." Ye Fan calculated, "It doesn't need to be big. There are three main rooms, and the middle one can be used as a school. In the living room, Aunt Yu lives in one room, we live in one room, and the east and west wings live in one room. In the kitchen, one room was converted into Dabao's bedroom, and the other was converted into Erbao's bedroom. Xiaoqin and Huihui shared a room with Erbao when they went back on weekends. If Benben thought his grandma had a large family, they could sleep in the same room as Dabao in the south of the courtyard. The house is just the right place to put miscellaneous items.”
Geng Huihui and Geng Benben were raised by their grandparents. They prefer the Geng family and feel a bit uncomfortable going to their grandma's house, like guests.
Geng Zhiye: “Do we have that much money?”
"Houses in the east city and west city are expensive, but they are cheaper over there. There are many teachers, and the units are divided into apartments. As a result, it is difficult to sell private housing, and it is not as prosperous as here. I have calculated that I can get it for six to seven thousand yuan." Ye Fan thought carefully again. , "The house is well maintained, fully furnished, and made of good wood. It costs up to 10,000 yuan. I haven't touched your salary over the years and can't use it up."
Geng Zhiye said: "Then buy it. Dabao and Erbao go to school here, and you go to Beijing University to live on campus. I often don't see you for ten days and a half. Aunt Yu can't control them, and it's easy to become crooked."
"Then you and Benben take Dabao and Erbao to check out the location first? When someone asks you, just say that the educated youths have no house to live in when they return home. I heard that someone is selling a house nearby, but the alleys are twists and turns. You seem to be lost, and then ask whose house it is. Selling a house.”
Geng Zhiye almost lost his grip: "Have you even found a reason to respond? You can really keep your temper! Why are you going?"
"Send your stepmother back to her parents' home."
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "Ye Fanfan, do you think I believe it? I'm not your mother - whatever you say is what you say."
"Plans, plans may not come true." Ye Fan pinched his waist, "Ride well!"
Geng Zhiye sighed helplessly: "It doesn't matter what you want to do, but there is a prerequisite, don't get yourself involved."
"I'm not stupid." Ye Fan smiled, "Go to the store and buy you some sun hats."
After talking about a few, Ye Fan bought eight, one for each person in the family.
Dabao and Erbao asked Geng Benben to go out and buy popsicles after getting their sunhats.
Geng Huihui originally disliked the heat, so she got a sun hat with a large brim and jumped up and down with the three of them. Yu Wentao said: "Now that I am a college student, I am still the same as a primary school student."
Geng Zhiqin: "College students need to be steady, right? Mom, will you act like an old man when you get older?"
Yu Wentao wants to say that she is not old, but she has been receiving pension for several years.
Ye Fan: "Would you like to go to the store with Xiaoqin to buy something? Let's take a bus from here to the bus station tomorrow?"
Yu Wentao asked: "Are you really going?"
"You've been living with me for half a year and you haven't asked your brothers to see if you've gotten darker or thinner?" Ye Fan asked.
Yu Wentao wants to say that they understand you and you will not abuse me. But her brothers and sisters have been worried about her. Yu Wentao stood up and put on a sun hat: "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look."
Ye Fan gave Geng Zhiqin a wink, which meant that Wen Tao went back to the room to get the money. Ye Fan whispered: "Ask the director whether to rent Santengzi, how much it costs for one time, and how much it costs for a month."
Geng Zhiqin: "When will we rent?"
Ye Fan: "Should the supply and marketing cooperative do some shopping in the morning? Then we'll use it at four in the afternoon and return it before eight o'clock."
Geng Zhiye raised his eyebrows, could Ye Fanfan want to set up a street stall?
This is what Ye Fan planned.
The next morning, Geng Zhiye took care of his children at home. Ye Fan and Geng Zhiqin accompanied Yu Wentao to Yujia Village. Yu Wentao went to her brother's house, and Geng Zhiqin took Ye Fan to wander around the village.
After walking around the village, the two of them went to the fields to see if there was water in the river and how the crops were growing.
Not long ago, Yujia Village implemented household responsibility system, and the people cherished their own land and were reluctant to leave it empty. Ye Fan calculated based on the population of Yu Wentao's family, and there was not enough food to grow on the land.
Yu Wentao was chatting with his sister-in-law and sister-in-law in the house, while the men of the Yu family were smoking cigarettes outside. When the men of the Yu family saw Ye Fan come back, they immediately put out the cigarette, fearing that it would infect Miss Ye.
Geng Zhiqin's uncle also asked his youngest daughter to go back to the house to move a stool.
Ye Fan waited for the stools to be brought over, then sat across from the cheap uncles and asked, "Is the food at home enough?"
Geng Zhiqin's uncles thought that Ye Fan was chatting with them about home affairs, so they pointed at the beans that covered the entire wall and said, "I can't finish them!"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "I see there is water in the river. Are there fish or crabs?"
Uncle Geng Zhiqin: "There are many fish bones and no meat on the crabs, so no one eats them. You ask - do you want to eat them?" He stood up as he spoke, "Then I'll borrow them -"
"Wait a minute!" Ye Fan stopped him, "Later, ask the village chief if he can catch fish from the river and sell them. Only catch big fish and crabs in the mud on both sides of the river. The village chief said those belong to everyone. , whether you can eat it or not, forget it.”
Uncle Yu: "Have you returned to work in the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Yu Wentao came out of the courtyard at this time and said that Ye Fan was admitted to Beijing University. The tone was the same as if he had passed the exam.
Everyone in the Yu family was confused.
After a long time, they came back to their senses. They wanted to laugh and praise Ye Fan, but they were speechless for a while. Yu Wentao thinks her brothers are worthless. She heard Ye Fan's words in the courtyard just now, so she asked her elder brother to ask the village chief.
The village chief did say that the river belongs to everyone and he cannot make the decision. But I also hoped that the Yu family's business would be successful, and everyone would follow the Yu family into the city to sell vegetables, so I said I would give him an answer in the afternoon.
After uncle Yu left, the village chief asked his son to find the team leader, and then called the elders in the village who could speak usefully. Everyone thought that the "household responsibility system" was instigated by Yu Wentao's brothers. The village really divided the land, and no one from the town government came to stop it. They thought that this time they could listen to Yu Wentao's brothers.
That night, Yu Wentao's brothers slept until they woke up naturally and then got up to catch crabs.
The old man, who couldn't sleep, carried a kerosene lamp and went over to help.
In the morning, the younger members of the Yu family set out a big net to catch fish. After lunch, Yu Wentao's sister-in-law and sister-in-law picked beans and vegetables and sorted them into four large baskets.
At half past four, Ye Fan came over on a three-bouncer, weighed the vegetables, fish, and crabs, and then took them all away.
Ye Fan didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the vegetable market. Instead, he parked his car at the entrance of an inconspicuous alley where there were many elderly people. Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui had been waiting there for a long time.
Ye Fan found this place specifically in the morning.
There was probably no danger to the three lesbians, and even the old men and women who were enjoying the shade in the alley dared to come up and ask about the price.
Ye Fan, Geng Zhiqin, and Geng Huihui didn't look like poor people, and they couldn't say that they had no money, so they just said that they helped poor relatives in the countryside to sell - the village had a household responsibility system this year, and they were allocated a section of the river where they could grow vegetables and pull nets. Raise fish and crabs.
The aunts are all human beings, and they have no worries about their own territory. They directly asked: "Daughter, if these things are all sold, how much can you make?"
Ye Fan: "Except for the car rental fee, 30%!"
"That's not much."
Ye Fan: "My relatives have worked hard to grow it, and my family is not short of money. Why do we need this money from others?"
"Where are you working? Today is not the weekend." The implication is that even if you don't have a job, you still dare to fool the old lady by saying that you are rich.
Geng Huihui said quickly: "My aunt is a university student in Beijing."
The students of "Beijing University" were extremely rare. The adults and aunts who were watching the excitement from a distance came over to ask Ye Fan how old he was, whether he was married, and what kind of partner he wanted to find. Later, I learned that Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui were also college students, and the three of them were still a family. The uncle and aunt couldn't help but give their thumbs up.
Perhaps they thought the children who bought Ye Fan's food were smarter, so they all asked Ye Fan to weigh them a bit. Those with a high pension will buy fish, crabs and vegetables, while those with a small pension will buy eggplants, beans and beans.
The food was sold out at half past six.
A step late, the aunt asked Ye Fan: "Daughter, are you coming tomorrow?"
"There will be vegetables and melons tomorrow, but not necessarily fish." Ye Fan said.
Aunt: "Is it still the same as today?"
Ye Fan nodded. The aunt was very satisfied. When she met the neighbors, she said that the college student will come tomorrow. Let's not go to the vegetable market. The vegetables are not fresh and we are not allowed to choose. The vegetable sellers are like uncles and have more airs than the college students. .
Ye Fan returned the car to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the new director of the supply and marketing cooperative asked: "Where did you sell it? It was so fast."
"It's not around here. We won't steal the supply and marketing cooperative's business." Ye Fan never said where to set up the stall.
The new director of the supply and marketing cooperative knew how to be a good person, so he didn’t continue to ask: “Can I go directly to the village to collect vegetables?”
"We've all started the reform and opening up, so why can't we do it?" Ye Fan was prepared to avoid being asked about this by someone from above. The director pushed it on her and did not answer directly, "You should study the reform and opening up policy carefully."
The director was angry and funny, but Accountant Ye was a real loach and never said a word of truth. "Can you sell anything?"
Ye Fan: "You can produce it yourself, but you can't sell it if you are not allowed by law. Please check the car."
The director was still thinking about the first two sentences. He just glanced at the tires and raised his hand to let her go.
Ye Fan told his uncle and aunt that "30%" meant giving 30% to the Yu family, because Ye Fan wanted to save enough money to replace the tire if it broke.
When he got home, Ye Fan took out his capital, 30% of the Yu family's, 50% for himself, and gave the rest to his sister-in-law, asking her to share it equally with Geng Huihui.
Geng Benben saw that his sister had a handful of money and wanted to help his aunt sell vegetables. Ye Fan said: "It looks like a lot, but it's actually just change, not much."
"That's also money." Geng Benben said.
Geng Zhiye said with a straight face: "You do your homework for me at home. When you get into college, you will ask your aunt to help you sell vegetables. If you don't get into college, you will find a way to make money to support yourself!"
Geng Benben settles the scores: "Is it possible to get everything if you get into college?"
Geng Zhiye nodded.
Geng Benben: "Starting tomorrow, I will do my homework well!"
Ye Fan looked at her two treasures, what about you?
Dabao and Erbao also promised to do their homework well, and Ye Fan gave the three of them fifty cents each as pocket money. Dabao was about to buy popsicles when he got the money, but Ye Fan stopped him and said, "I'll buy them at noon tomorrow!"
Dabao doesn't dare to be stubborn with his mother, otherwise he will be locked up in the room by his father tomorrow and may lose his pocket money.
The next afternoon, when the sun was not so fierce, Ye Fan rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative, checked the Sanbengzi, refueled and went to the countryside.
Arriving at Yujia Village at around four o'clock, several brothers from the Yu family had prepared fish and crabs.
Ye Fan asked: "The fish and crabs this time are also from your family?"
The Yu family can't be called very kind, but they don't take advantage of others. Uncle Yu said: "Count us as a whole village. We make money and return it to the village. After a few days, we will cut the beans and use the money to buy sickles. Each family will share one."< br>
Ye Fan said: "Then the price at the purchasing station?"
There is no need to deliver it in person, and there is no need for the purchase station to pick and choose. Even if the price is a bit low, the villagers of Yujiacun have no objection.
Ye Fan saw everyone nodding: "We can use less fish and crabs from now on. Not many people in the city are willing to buy fish and crabs every day."
Uncle Yu said with a smile: "There are not so many big fish in the river that we can catch every day."
Ye Fan: "Then weigh the fish and crabs first. I'll see how the food tastes."
Geng Zhiqin’s aunt said the food was a little short. Ye Fan asked his aunt to pick out only long, thin and tender beans and nice-looking tender eggplants and peppers. In this way, two baskets become one and a half baskets. Ye Fan said to leave it alone while she went inside to drink some water.
The aunt immediately took her to the house and said there were melons picked from the ground.
Ye Fan went in and gave her yesterday's food money first, "We agreed that we will share 30% of the money we make. This is what we earned."
The eldest aunt didn't want to take the money she earned, so she said she would buy popsicles for Dabao and Erbao. Ye Fan stuffed it at her: "There are too few vegetables. Ask a relative to pick two and a half baskets to make up four baskets. There can be more varieties. Tomorrow we will also charge according to the price at the purchasing station, and 30% of the money from selling vegetables will be given to you and a few uncles." Those that are not in good condition, if you can’t finish them yourself, pack them up and I will take them away and give them to those who buy more.”
In fact, last night and this morning, someone asked my aunt Ye Fan if she was coming. Since Geng Zhiye was not a nephew of the Yu family, the eldest aunt did not dare to order her nephew and his wife to come over, so she just said that she didn't know either, depending on Ye Fan's mood.
Hearing that I could have an account with my relatives and neighbors and help them make money, my aunt was very happy and said, "Fanfan, please rest for a while and I'll go ask."
Ye Fan was not tired from driving and it was cool outside, so he went out with her.
When the villagers outside heard that they still wanted vegetables, they asked Aunt Yu's family to pick them at their house.
In the end, Ye Fan took away four baskets of vegetables, half a basket of crooked melons and cracked dates, two buckets of various river fish, and a bucket of crabs tied with straw ropes.
When we arrived at the place where the stall was set up yesterday, the aunt and uncle came over, and the children gathered around to watch the fun. Ye Fan gave the children the crooked melons and fruits given by the aunt.
The uncles and aunts who bought crabs, fish, and vegetables got a handful of spring onions, or a handful of amaranth, or fungus, or fennel, which the farmers had enough to eat.
Grandpas and aunts like Ye Fan more and more. When they bring vegetables home to their neighbors, they remind them to buy them quickly.
When Ye Fan was closing the stall, an aunt pulled Ye Fan and asked in a low voice: "Are there eggs in the countryside?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan was stunned for a moment before replying: "I have to ask. Eggs and duck eggs are easy to sell. They just go to the agricultural and sideline products purchasing station to sell them. They may not have them."
"Just ask. Just have the same price as the supply and marketing cooperative. Auntie won't tell you to go cheaper."
Ye Fan nodded: "Ask tomorrow." The weather was hot and the villagers were afraid of saving eggs because they were broken. Only a dozen families could get together a hundred eggs. Ye Fan drove very carefully, so he didn't arrive at the stall until almost six o'clock this time.
The uncles and aunts were well-informed and said that Ye Fan must have bought eggs when he came so late.
Ye Fan picked up the eggs from the basket and the aunt squeezed over. Ye Fan quickly reminded: "There are large and small eggs raised in rural areas. We can't sell them individually. When we weigh them, they are all eggs laid in the past two days."
Eggs come in all shapes, and the aunts can tell at a glance that they are not just eggs laid by a few hens, so they believe Ye Fan's words. But they still pushed forward because there was no limit on fresh food, and some people asked for five pounds.
As soon as the person who wanted five kilograms finished speaking, the uncle and aunt pushed him aside and asked Ye Fan to weigh one kilogram and then carefully put it in the basket they brought.
There is so much food to eat in rural areas during the summer. There is so much food to eat. The pigs don’t gain weight by feeding them, and the vegetables cannot be dried for the winter, so they are all left to dry. Ye Fan was not stingy either. The aunt and uncle who bought eggs also got a handful of amaranth or fungus.
Grandpas and aunts are very happy.
Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui were also very happy. They got 10% every day, so they were very active and did not ask Ye Fan to do any work when they returned home.
In the evening, Geng Zhiye asked: "Ye Fanfan, are you tired?"
"To be honest? I'm not tired. I went to the Yu family in the village to weigh and carry the vegetables with my uncles and aunts. When we got to the stall, Xiaoqin and Huihui helped. To be honest, I was tired from chatting with the uncles and aunties." Ye Fan's whole body was filled with only his mouth. Tired, "Have you checked out the house?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Three places. I didn't expect that someone would really sell their ancestral home."
"Chen Xiaohui said that her classmate's relatives wanted to sell their houses and go abroad. I expected that there would be more people wanting to run away this year."
Geng Zhiye: "If you have a chance, will you go out?"
"Go out and play?"
Geng Zhiye: "Settlement!"
Ye Fan sneered and said, "I can walk sideways in the capital and go out to be someone's grandson? What's wrong with my brain." He rolled his eyes at Geng Zhiye.
Dabao and Erbao giggled.
Geng Zhiye asked: "Why aren't you two sleeping?"
The two children were playing on their parents' bed, and Geng Zhiye didn't know what they were playing with. Dabao sat up and said: "It's not nine o'clock."
Geng Zhiye picked him up and threw him into his nephew's house, then came back to grab his daughter and threw him to Geng Huihui. Geng Zhiye closed the door and lay next to Ye Fan, "When are you going to have a look?"
"Have you negotiated the price?"
Geng Zhiye: "According to the price you said that time, they thought it was too little. They said how much it would cost before the founding of the People's Republic of China. I was too lazy to argue with them. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, money was money when Chang Kaishen was in power? Even the money in the underworld was better than his. The printed money is valuable!”
It has been less than two years since the reform and opening up was proposed, and the special economic zone is not in the capital. People with iron rice bowls are waiting for housing allocation, and idle people have no money. Ye Fan is not worried about the soaring housing prices for the time being: "Let's take a look tomorrow morning. Furniture is worth a lot more." Just take it for a few hundred yuan, and forget about it for a few thousand more. Bring the documents and bankbook, and transfer the ownership after negotiation.”
"So urgent?"
Ye Fan: "You decorate it. After the 20th, you report to school. If you stay in school directly, should I decorate it?"
Geng Zhiye laughed angrily: "Ye Fanfan is really good at planning."
"Is my home your home?"
Geng Zhiye hugged her: "I can decorate it."
"Sleep!" Ye Fan motioned for him to turn off the light.
Geng Zhiye was raising three children and looking after houses. He was so tired that he even slept half an hour longer than usual, so he was not in the mood to make trouble for her.
A night of silence.
In the morning, Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui were doing laundry. Ye Fan asked Benben to keep an eye on Dabao and Erbao while she and Geng Zhiye went to see a house.
Yu Wentao and other children went to play at the door. Only Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui were left in the yard, and they asked in a low voice: "How much money did you make?"
Geng Zhiqin gave her a look. Yu Wentao slapped her back: "I don't want yours."
"It's not much money. Eggplants, peppers, beans and beans are cheap, fish, crabs and eggs are expensive, but there are many vegetables and few eggs, and the crabs are almost gone."
Yu Wentao goes to the vegetable market every day to know the prices of vegetables. She calculates it by herself, excluding the gas and car rental fees. "It's not much money. What about your third sister-in-law?"
"We have no wages, so every penny we can earn is worth a penny." Geng Zhiqin said, "Give us half of your pension?"
Yu Wentao stood up and kept an eye on her grandchildren so they wouldn't run towards the main road.
Geng Huihui made a face at her grandmother's back: "The old lady is very stingy!"
Geng Zhiqin nodded: "She's so stingy! All your grandfather's salary over the years has been in her hands. When your uncle and aunt asked to look at the house, she didn't say to give him two thousand yuan as an emergency."
"Are my uncle and aunt rich?"
Geng Zhiqin: "They have money, let alone ask for her money. What's the use of her kind words? She's petty! I don't blame Aunt Tao for annoying her. If Aunt Tao knew that she wouldn't give your aunt one or two thousand, she would also say TV She packed the fan and refrigerator.”
"Maybe grandma planned this."
Geng Zhiqin shook his head: "Just wait. Unless she is envious that others have it and your aunt doesn't have it at home, she said she would pay for it herself."
"Then you can pull the things here over."
Geng Zhiqin suddenly realized: "How could I forget? If we move there, we won't need the things here. Your grandma must have said, Fanfan, I didn't pay for the house you bought. I gave you all the fans and rice cookers at home." "Yeah." Tsk, "It has to be my mother."
Geng Huihui was amused by her aunt, who made her giggle. It was her daughter who dared to bury her like this.
Let's talk about Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn't want to worry about decoration, and Geng Zhiye didn't want to worry about it, so he first called the landlord from a public phone and took Ye Fan to the home with complete furniture.
That family was in Dongcheng, farther away than Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye. They took the bus to the place and waited at the door for about ten minutes, when a lesbian with a medium build in her forties came.
The lesbian came to look at Ye Fan and asked Geng Zhiye: "Do you love me? You two don't look like educated youths."
Ye Fan nonsense: "It's been several years since I returned to the city."
"Can educated youth afford a house?" the lesbian curled her lips.
Ye Fan: "My parents' money and his parents' money. My family and his old house were given to his brother and my brother."
"No wonder." The lesbian opened the door and saw knee-deep grass in the courtyard. "No one has lived in it for more than ten years. But the walls are strong and the house does not leak. I often ask my boss to come and take a look."
It had probably been temporarily cleaned up. There was no dust on the doors and windows, but the color was old and looked dark red.
The lesbian opened the door of the east wing first, "The house here is a little longer than the one under the Imperial City. There is an alley between the three wing rooms and the main house facing north and south. There is also an open space at the south end of the wing room. We used to be in the open space. Planting vegetables and flowers is just a matter of time.”
Ye Fan went in and found that the two rooms were connected. The outer room opposite the door was like a living room for entertaining friends. Against the east wall was an Arhat bed with a square table. There was a desk against the north wall. Behind the desk was a bookshelf. The desk and The bookshelves are empty.
The wall between the outer room and the inner room is actually a shelf. In the middle of the shelf is a circular door. Facing the circular door and against the south wall is a bed. There is a table under the west window, which may have been used to store vases and ornaments. Yes, the north wall is the closet. There is nothing on the bed or table, and there must be nothing in the closet.
Before Ye Fan could ask, the lesbian crossed the circular door and opened the closet. It was indeed empty. The lesbian said: "It used to be my brother's room. My brother took away all the valuables before leaving with my father. The single room next door belongs to my eldest sister, and it has the same layout as this bedroom."
Having said that, she still opened the door and asked Ye Fan to take a look.
Opposite the house owner's eldest sister's boudoir is the kitchen. The house owner opened the kitchen door and said, "I took the pot away. All the small items are there. My husband's family has them. It's not worth taking them and breaking them." Opening the cabinet, "The tableware is actually also It’s an old thing, but it’s from the late Qing Dynasty.” Pointing to some bamboo weavings, “They are all old things.”
Ye Fan: "Can people live in the two rooms next door?"
The lesbian closed the cupboard and took them to the next door, "This was originally my mother's and my house."
Ye Fan wondered why her mother didn't live in the main house.
The layout of these two rooms is similar to that of the young master's room opposite, but the furniture is obviously not as good as the one there. It looks like mahogany there, and it looks like elm here. There are also a lot of small furniture in the room, including desks for writing, round stools for dressing tables, etc.
Ye Fan took a quick look and saw that the furniture was usable and there were no signs of water seepage on the walls, so he went to the main room to have a look.
The lesbian opened the main room. There was a table against the north wall, and a square table was placed under the table. There were chairs on both sides of the square table, which was very similar to the outside room of the young master's room.
Ye Fan walked in. Between the living room and the east room was a wood-carved hollow wall. To the east of the wooden wall was the bedroom. There was a bed against the east wall, a desk and chairs under the window on the south wall, and a wardrobe against the north wall.
There is also a book shelf between the living room and the west room. There is a bed under the window on the south wall. There is a large square table and benches on the north wall, which looks like a place to eat. The west wall is a cabinet, like a cabinet for storing treasures in the home.
When the lesbian saw Ye Fan staring at the cabinet on the west wall, she opened it. As expected, there were a lot of things inside. The landlady took them out one by one, "These vases and porcelain are from the late Qing Dynasty and are not worth much. The pen holder belongs to my brother and my sister, as well as these miscellaneous jade carvings and inkstones. I told them they are all good things. I really thought I didn't have them." I’ve seen good things. My father can’t say enough. I have no choice but to sell it. I don’t want to leave any of my silver spoons, bowls, paintings, and jade pendants with me. If these things are valuable, wouldn’t they take them away? Look at how much space this pen holder can take up just by stuffing it in wherever you want.”
Ye Fan took the pen holder and looked at it.
Lesbian: "The carving is very good, but it can't be compared with jade."
Ye Fanxin said that bamboo carvings made by famous artists are more expensive than fine jade. Sometimes cultural relics are more expensive than the materials, but also the humanities and history. However, Ye Fan didn't want to point this out and smiled silently when he returned it to her.
The lesbian thought that Ye Fan didn't like to hear her nagging: "Don't talk about this. Just give me a price. I won't lie to you. The furniture in the house and the furniture in my brother and sister's room are all mahogany. The ones in my room are not It’s valuable, I’ll give it to you.”
Ye Fan: "Say a price. If I offer a price, you will definitely scold me."
The lesbian asked: "How much do you think is appropriate?"
Ye Fan stretched out two fingers.
The lesbian exclaimed: "Eight thousand? Do you know how much these furniture alone are worth?"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "I heard it said by the older generation. But if someone buys something, it is worth something. If you can't sell it, gold is not worth it. Just say that in 60 years, how many kilograms of rice could one tael of gold be exchanged for? How much rice can it be exchanged for now? ?”
The lesbian couldn't help but sigh, because what Ye Fan said made sense.
"But I'm waiting for the money."
Ye Fan: "My son marries a wife?"
The lesbian nodded.
Ye Fan couldn't help but ask: "You have a wife and you still sell your house?"
"My mother-in-law's family has a house, which is more spacious than this one. My parents-in-law are gone and my sister-in-law is going abroad. I said I would give them 6,000 yuan and the house would be mine."
Ye Fan asked: "Whose name is the property in?"
"I am the head of the family, and my parents-in-law asked us to live together. She won't leave without paying her, and I can't kick her out."
Ye Fan: "Tell your son and daughter-in-law to get their certificates and live in the work dormitory first. If you don't plan to go out, their family won't be able to survive you. If you can keep calm, you can get rid of them with three thousand yuan. By the way, call her again." She and her husband will accompany you to do the notarization, so as not to have to rely on you if you can’t survive outside.”
The lesbian said with a smile: "You have to give me some advice for me."
"You don't need so much money to marry a daughter-in-law." Ye Fan continued, "It's better to sell the house for five or six thousand if it's dilapidated. I didn't just say that your father didn't leave you good things. I'll give you the money. You You can buy it at a thrift store. You can buy a good piece of jade for a hundred yuan. When you are old, you can give it to your daughter-in-law. If you spend all your money on your daughter-in-law, you may have conflicts in the future. And told you to get out.”
The lesbian still shook her head.
Ye Fan sighed: "These mahogany furniture in your house are not valuable. My sister bought a few pieces before, and my mother had to throw them away. If the house was not spacious and there were two children, a boy and a girl, we couldn't live together. I can also wait for another two years for my spouse to be assigned a room.”
The lesbian was surprised: "There is still a sister?"
Ye Fan nodded: "My wife also has a younger sister who is in her twenties and has no one. Otherwise we don't have to move out."
Geng Zhiye, who didn't say a word during the whole process, said, "Go and take a look at the back? There are five main rooms over there. Although there are no furniture and the house is not as well-kept as here, you can get it for 12,000."
The lesbian thought he said this deliberately and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you comparing shopping like buying groceries?"
Geng Zhiye asked: "You were here before you got married? Then you must know the family behind." Then he said the other person's name.
The lesbian was stunned for a moment.
Geng Zhiye knew that she knew him.
I know the lesbians, and not long ago I met the old lady, and she said she regretted not going out with her father, brother and sister twenty years ago. The lesbian didn't like the foreigners who burned, killed, and looted in the capital in the past. She couldn't get out, so her father left her the house and the rags in it.
Lesbian: "That old lady is leaving?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "There is also a house for sale in the southeast corner. It is said that his family has overseas connections. If the revolution revives, he will suffer again. Have you suffered before?"
The lesbian shook her head: "The old man in my family is shrewd. He said that the proletariat is the one who calls the shots. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to stabilize the political power, he would give preferential treatment to workers, so he married me to a worker. My father-in-law was a craftsman, and he saved his house little by little. We got it by exploiting working people, and because there were so many brothers and sisters in our family, our neighbors didn’t dare to bully us for ten years.”
Ye Fan: "We won't hide it from you. After I buy a big house, my son will not have to buy a house when he gets married."
The lesbian parents-in-law have five main houses in the courtyard house. In the future, their grandson will not need to buy a house when they get married, so she believes Ye Fan’s words, “But who would believe it if they say it will be sold for five to six thousand yuan?”
Ye Fan: "Aren't you anxious to give your sister-in-law money? When your sister-in-law asked, she said that she couldn't sell it at a high price if she needed the money. Unless it was a coincidence, the other party was also very anxious."
(End of chapter)
The author said: Isn’t this about buying a house? So don't be anxious, everything will be fine for Ye Fanfan!
