There are not many people who are very anxious and can afford high prices. Besides, if you dare to buy a house at a high price, it means you have a high salary, but it is impossible for people with high wages to own a unit.
Since you have a house, you don't have to be taken advantage of and buy a high-priced house, unless your daughter-in-law asks not to marry without a separate house. But families that can afford so much money don't have to worry about their sons not being able to find wives. The daughter-in-law doesn't want to miss out on such a good condition, so she can't be so stubborn.
After all, it’s normal to sell your house at a reduced price when you’re in a hurry for money.
The landlady decided to take a step back: "Give me another thousand."
Ye Fan shook his head: "Your furniture is not worth so much. Unless there are treasures? For example, there are gold, silver and jade hidden in the cracks of the bricks."
Lesbian: "I even searched in the cracks in the beams and tiles of the house. My father was so stingy that he kept nothing but furniture and this pile of beautiful and worthless things."
"Eight thousand and five thousand?" Ye Fan said, "Otherwise, I can ask my brother and his brother to borrow some money to buy the house. If we want my parents-in-law to live with us, my eldest brother will definitely pay for it immediately."
A lesbian would also be willing to lend money to her sister-in-law and take the opportunity to send her parents-in-law away. The lesbian pondered for a moment: "Then eight thousand five thousand. When will the transfer of ownership take place?"
"You didn't bring your real estate certificate, did you? In the afternoon. Meet at the housing authority here at two o'clock?"
Lesbian: "Are you sure about two points?"
"We will definitely go there. If you increase the price temporarily, we will look elsewhere."
The lesbian asked again: "Six thousand to the outside world?"
"Okay!" Ye Fan said, "If your sister-in-law finds out, there is only one possibility: you tell the truth yourself."
My sister-in-law dared to speak loudly because she knew that lesbians had houses. No lesbian would ever dream of telling her how much the house sold for.
Ye Fan said: "Write a letter for me and all the furniture, tableware and ornaments in the house will belong to me."
The lesbian looked disgusted: "I don't want those things!"
Ye Fan: "I'm worried that your father wants to return to his hometown to retire or your brother can't live outside, so come here and say that everything belongs to him."
The lesbian wanted to laugh: "Comrade, you sound like it's difficult to get along abroad. It's much better abroad than here."
Ye Fan: "Foreigners look down on us in our country. When we go out, can they look down on us and let us make money from them?"
The lesbian's smile froze.
Ye Fan pulled Geng Zhiye out, and the female comrade subconsciously followed him out, locking the door unconsciously. When they arrived at the entrance of the alley, the heavy traffic woke up the female comrade. The female comrade couldn't help but look at Ye Fan carefully and said, "You know so much, and you are so temperamental. I'm sure." Not an educated youth.”
Ye Fan smiled and said: "See you in the afternoon."
Not denying it means admitting that she guessed it right? The lesbian regretted not asking for ten thousand. When I think about it, the five big houses in the back cost only 12,000. Although they are farther away than here, they are spacious. There is no car at home, and the alley is ten meters wide and you have to walk on two legs. Then she thought about what Ye Fan said about her brother not being able to survive outside. When the time came, her brother would act like a rogue and get the house, and she would have no choice, so she might as well settle the matter as soon as possible.
Geng Zhiye seemed to be in a dream: "Eight thousand and five thousand, an apartment and a room full of furniture?"
"Eight thousand and five thousand is not enough? The monthly salary of an ordinary worker is about thirty, and the couple has to save for a lifetime. There are no elderly people, no children, no serious illness at home, and they have to save for twenty years." Ye Fan said: "Let's talk about this. It can’t be compared with Dongcheng and Xicheng. Secondly, she is anxious for money. Another thing you haven’t noticed is that she doesn’t like this apartment—she would rather live with her parents-in-law than move here.”
"But that's it?" Geng Zhiye thought it was child's play.
Ye Fan nodded: "She doesn't know the goods. When I give her advice, I feel reluctant to give her too much, and feel uneasy about giving too little."
Geng Zhiye didn't understand, so he asked: "The furniture is very expensive, is it red sandalwood?"
"I didn't look at the furniture carefully." Ye Fan shook his head, "The furniture is not Ming style, it should be from the late Qing Dynasty. The wood is just expensive and has no historical value. The bamboo carving pen holder is valuable and the carving is excellent. If it is made by a famous artist, it may be similar to The mahogany Arhat bed in the main room is priced at one price. She also said that porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty is not valuable. In fact, if it is used by Guangxu and only one remains, it may be worth more than the one from the Qianlong period."
< br>
Geng Zhiye was surprised: "The water in this industry is so deep?"
"Otherwise, how could I refuse to lend money to Chen Xiaohui?" Ye Fan said, "As for the pen holder, I know that some bamboo carvings are more expensive than jade carvings, but I will never buy them for more than five yuan. Unless the items are guaranteed in a state-owned thrift store."
Geng Zhiye pulled her: "I bought it by chance. There is no need to look for it specially. Didn't Chen Xiaohui look for it specially and almost fall into someone else's trap?"
Ye Fan told Geng Zhiye about that incident: "I still remember it."
"Don't forget what you said."
Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him.
Geng Zhiye smiled nonchalantly: "But her house doesn't match the family wealth she said?"
"This situation is also common. Her grandparents died, and her father was a concubine and was separated by the head of the family to live alone. It is also possible that the family has fallen into decline and the house is easier to cash than antiques, so the big house is replaced by a small one."
Geng Zhiye: "I don't care about this, as long as the house is fine. Are you still going there this afternoon?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I told them that if it rained heavily the night before or that day, and I can't drive, I won't go there."
"There is less rain in the north, so maybe the weather will be good until I go to school." Geng Zhiye saw the bus coming and asked Ye Fan to get on first.
When Ye Fan got to the car, he realized that he was about to get off after two stops. Geng Zhiye heard her muttering and whispered: "It's hot outside, but it's cool in the car." Opening the car window, the cool breeze came in.
Then the two of them got off the bus and waited for a while before waiting for a bus, but it didn't go directly to the bus stop behind Gengjia Hutong. They took another bus to get there.
When he got home, Geng Zhiqin asked how the house was.
Ye Fan said it was okay. Geng Zhiqin thought he was not optimistic, so he didn't ask any more questions.
In the afternoon, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye went out. Geng Zhiqin thought they were continuing to watch. When they came back after transferring the ownership, Geng Zhiqin was stunned and speechless: "Buy, buy - have you bought it? Sister-in-law, where are you shopping for groceries?"
Ye Fan: "I'll buy it if it suits me. Aunt Yu, you and Zhiye will take Benben, Dabao and Erbao to clean up in the next few days. Move the small things at home and wait for the big ones. I'll use the three-bouncer from the supply and marketing cooperative." Pull over.”
Yu Wentao: "You're moving now? Does your mother know?"
Ye Fan: "Tell her later. Liangliang is too young and can't live without her. She can't help me clean up and is thinking about this matter. She must be upset because of it."
"How much is it?"
Ye Fan did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "It's neither cheap nor expensive. I took a look, and it's easier to get to Xiaoqin's school from there than from here. It's also closer to Huihui's grandma's house. It's also close to Benben. The school is less than one kilometer away from Erbao’s primary school.”
Geng Zhiye explained that in addition to the master bedroom, there were three bedrooms. His stepmother could live in the son's room, Dabao could live in the former landlord's room, and the second treasure could live in the landlord's sister's room.
Ye Fan waited for Geng Zhiye to finish and then said: "The most important thing is that they all moved out well. The bed is quite wide and can sleep two people."
Yu Wentao had never dared to live alone in the room where she and her husband lived. After Ye Fan finished speaking, Yu Wentao said, "We'll go over and have a look when you leave later."
Ye Fan took the bus to the supply and marketing cooperative to ride Sanbengzi, while Yu Wentao, Geng Zhiye and Geng Zhiqin took the four little ones to their new home.
In the past, Yu Wentao visited the leader's home and saw the furniture collected by the leader. The room Geng Zhiye arranged for her was full of that kind of furniture, so much so that she was so satisfied that she wanted to move here immediately.
The next morning, Yu Wentao packed up her house and asked Geng Zhiye, Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui to move her luggage and clean the room with her. Ye Fan went to the countryside to work hard and rested at home while keeping an eye on the three little ones.
Yesterday, Geng Benben heard from his uncle that he could share a room with Dabao and help clean it up in the future, because he hated going to his grandma's house, where he would practice calligraphy at night and memorize ancient Chinese prose in the morning.
Geng Benben knew that his grandma wanted him to be talented in poetry and calligraphy, but he was very annoyed that he had to study at school, study at home, and study on Sunday during summer vacation.
Geng Zhiye saw that he really wanted to go and took him with him.
When he got there, Geng Zhiye borrowed a ladder and checked all the tiles in the room to make sure there were no leaks or cracks in the walls before officially cleaning up the house.
When Geng Zhiye was tidying up the kitchen, he didn't want to use tableware from strangers, so he threw away the broken ones. He wiped the old and intact items with a rag and stuffed them in the treasure cabinet in the main room.
Geng Zhiye was busy with Yu Wentao for three days and had to report to the school.
Ye Fan started school early and continued to travel between the city and the countryside. During this period, several of Geng Zhiqin's uncles and aunts took the bus to the place where Ye Fan set up a stall to help her sell vegetables. They were also familiar with the market. Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui took the time to move their belongings to their new home. .
Two days before school started, Ye Fan told the people in Yujia Village that she had to go to school and would only be able to go there on weekends. Then she used one day to pull the things over, and the next day she went to her parents' house to confess.
Tao Chunlan was very unhappy, thinking that Ye Fan was alienated from her, so Ye Fan said that she was not at home and had no one to take care of her.
Chen Xiaohui wanted to say that she could take him, but when she thought that it was a good thing for Ye Fan to buy a house, she immediately said, "Yes, I can't make it beautiful by myself." Then she asked where Ye Fan bought the house and whether it was spacious.
Ye Fan: "To the east of your school."
"It's either a university or an elementary school and a high school? What a great place! If I have money, I'll get one too."
Tao Chunlan immediately carried her granddaughter out. She kept complaining in her heart that it was not enough to buy a shabby house. She also wanted to buy a house. Just think about it slowly.
Ye Fan said: "I will call you if I have a profitable business in the future."
Chen Xiaohui hurriedly said: "I remember it." With her understanding of future generations and Ye Fan's brains, she will definitely have a lot of money in the future!
Why didn't I think of this before?
How stupid!
Chen Xiaohui asked again: "Will you go back there later?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Everything except the furniture has been evacuated. I have been living there for the past few years. I occasionally go over to clean the old house."
"Then you will go back early in the afternoon? I will go with you to identify the door."
Ye Fan was very tired these days and didn't want to entertain her: "My mother-in-law is at home, are you going?"
"Forget it." Chen Xiaohui shook her head, "I went there specifically to see how weird she must be. When school starts, I'll stop by and have a look."
Ye Fan: "Then I'll go back first? I need to transfer school registrations to Dabao and Erbao."
Chen Xiaohui asked subconsciously: "Now?"
"I will sort out the information today and go there early tomorrow morning. After they arrange it, I will report to the school." Ye Fan said.
Chen Xiaohui said: "Then go quickly."
Ye Fan went outside and talked to her mother for a while, saying that the house still needed to be tidied up and it was time for her to go back. Tao Chunlan nodded and said: "Xiaohui will go to school in two days. I have nothing to do at home. I will take Jingliang over to see what else is missing."
Ye Fan wanted to say, no, her mother-in-law has arranged the arrangements, and her mother may not be feeling well: "Okay. Dabao has been talking about the delicious food you made every day during this period."
"Can't you talk about it?" Tao Chunlan said angrily.
Ye Fan: "Someone is playing at home. His cousin and cousin are both at home. I asked Benben to accompany him on the bus. We are two stops away. Benben is sorry. That child is like Dabao's second uncle, honest and shy. He doesn’t even feel comfortable at his grandma’s house.”
Ye Fan had mentioned before that on the day she and Geng Zhiye arrived from the island to the capital, there was someone in the Geng family. Geng Benben not only cleaned the house, but also lit the stove to heat hot water.
Tao Chunlan asked him why he was home alone. Ye Fan explained that he felt uncomfortable at his grandma's house. He stayed at Geng's house during the day and returned to his grandma's house in the evening. So Tao Chunlan firmly believed in Ye Fan's words.
Ye Fan saw the door of the thrift store open on the bus, and got off the bus when he arrived at the bus stop - suddenly he thought that the bookshelves in the main room and the side room were very empty, and he was going to find a few things to put on them.
Although the previous landlord left a lot of porcelain, Ye Fan had no intention of using it and told the public that it was gone because the previous landlord mentioned that her father would not allow her to sell it. One day her brother came back and asked her to take those things back from him. Since she had a guarantee from the landlord, it would inevitably lead to disputes.
When Ye Fan saw the salesperson, he directly said that the house was empty and he wanted to buy some good-looking and cheap items to put on display. The reason why he did not go to the department store was because he thought he might be able to make some money by selling them in a few years.
The salesperson took Ye Fan to the warehouse and asked her to pick out the porcelain ornaments.
There were so many things in the warehouse, and many of them were in good condition. The colors were very good, and the bright red and green colors looked great together. Ye Fan wanted to laugh at everyone.
The salesperson saw her struggling: "I'll find you a sack and give you a stack of newspapers. You wrap it up and put it in the sack?"
"But it can't be packed all. I need a few for each of the three rooms in my house." Suddenly he thought about how little money he had brought: "Find a small bag. I'll buy a few first and come back over the weekend. I have to go to school tomorrow."< br>
The college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years. Many students in the school were high school students ten years ago. The salesperson looked at Ye Fan's age and estimated that she was in her third year, so she didn't ask about her past so as not to cause trouble for her. "It's time to start school." She asked casually. , "Which school?"
Ye Fan: "Beijing University."
The salesperson almost lost her balance, and after a moment she said: "This girl is so amazing!"
Ye Fan smiled modestly: "It's just a fluke. I'll find these simple and elegant ones to put in my son's room first." The second baby is too young, and Ye Fan is worried that she will accidentally break it and hurt herself, "My mother-in-law likes bright ones. I’ll buy those fancy ones in a few days.”
The salesperson didn't intend to help. When he heard that she was from Beijing University, he helped her wrap it up and walked her to the stop sign.
Ye Fan said that her mother-in-law's words were actually polite, and Yu Wentao might not like it. But seeing the salesperson being so polite, Ye Fan decided to come over if the weather was good over the weekend.
When Ye Fan got home, he took out the bottle. Geng Huihui liked it, and so did Geng Zhiqin because the color was beautiful. Ye Fan wanted to give it to them, but they didn't want it. They said they could see it when they put it on the ancient shelf in the living room.
Ye Fan: "Dabao, Benben, Erbao, please don't fight in the house from now on."
When Yu Wentao was cleaning the furniture, he found a lot of things in the cabinet and asked: "Is this more expensive or the things in the cabinet are more expensive?"
Ye Fan told the truth that she didn't understand. Maybe what she bought today was expensive, or maybe the things in the cabinet left by the original owner were expensive.
Yu Wentao had a headache: "Then how to tell the difference?" Ye Fan: "They are all porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty, so you don't need to distinguish them so clearly."
"Why not use the ones in the cabinet?"
Ye Fan said: "Those who are not the homeowners, maybe some relatives gave them to her father. If they are taken out and someone recognizes them, they will get into trouble. If anyone asks you in the future, just say that there was only furniture in the house when you bought them."
< br>
"Why are you so careful?" Yu Wentao didn't understand.
Ye Fan glanced around the whole family: "Is there anyone in this house who can fight? Don't cause trouble for yourself. Besides, these things are not valuable, but you can make money if you buy them."
Yu Wentao was confused when he heard this: "It's not worth anything and you can still make money by buying it?"
"Golden jade in troubled times, Taiping antiques are worth thousands of gold. The days will get better and better in the future, can it be considered peace?" Ye Fan said, "Now no one will drive me away from selling vegetables. In the future, everyone will start small businesses to make money. When I have money, I want to Buy some nice things for your home, the price will increase if more people buy it.”
Geng Zhiqin poked his niece gently and winked at her. Remember, the important point!
Geng Huihui nodded: "Grandma, go back and take a look with my aunt, and fill up the shelves in your house."
Yu Wentao: "Why should I buy these? They can't be eaten, played with, and easily broken. I just buy gold and jade. When troubled times come, my gold is worth something, but my jade is worth nothing if there is no turmoil."
Geng Huihui asked: "When will you go? I'll go with you to get to know each other better."
"Let's talk more." Yu Wentao asked, "Dabao, Erbao, what do you want to eat? Grandma is going to cook."
Ye Fan: "Cook the dishes given by uncle."
The dishes Ye Fan took home before were leftovers from other people's picks. The last time I went to Yujia Village, Yu Wentao's natal brother prepared a bag of fruits and vegetables for Ye Fan. There were two tender pumpkins that could be fried and eaten. Each one weighed more than ten kilograms. They said that Ye Fan had a large family and needed one for a meal. .
People in Yujiacun have two meals a day, and they cook some soup to fill their stomachs at night. Ye Fan couldn't tell them in front of them that my rice and noodles were enough and he didn't need so many vegetables, so he took the vegetables back and sent them directly to his new home.
Yu Wentao asked her daughter to help wash the vegetables.
Geng Huihui waited for her to go out and said: "Grandma used to be very generous, but since grandpa left, she seems to have changed. She cares about her money very much. My mother said she was afraid that we would not want her. Auntie, what is my grandma thinking about every day? What?”
Ye Fan wants to say that rural women become homeless after they get married. But Geng Huihui must have difficulty understanding it. Ye Fan thought of the house in the back and said, "Go and ask your grandma if she wants to buy a house. The five rooms in the back are as spacious as my mother's house, costing 12,000."
"Why does grandma buy a house?"
Ye Fan said half-seriously: "We're afraid that we don't want her because she doesn't have a home of her own. We kicked her out, and her parents' family doesn't have a spare house for her to live in, so she can only sleep in a bridge hole."
Geng Huihui ran out.
Dabao stared at her mother: "You won't kick grandma out. Why do you say that?"
Ye Fan poked his son in the face with his dirty hands, "There is no market for houses like these antiques. Now you can make money if you buy them. In the future, she can give them to your sister-in-law when she gets old, so that your sister-in-law and Erbao won't have to squeeze in. A bed.”
Geng Benben: "I want to buy a house too! When Dabao and I grow up in two years, that bed won't be able to accommodate us."
Ye Fan desperately wanted to remind him that his grandma's house was spacious and a small building. Worried that the young man was sensitive and thought he was driving him away, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Do you really want to buy it? Your uncle happened to have seen it. There is another place in the southeast corner. It is a mile away from here, which is at Erbao School. On the other side, it’s about 10,000.”
"I only have more than a hundred yuan." Geng Benben shook his head and said with a pity: "There are still two zeros left."
Ye Fan: "Your parents have a high salary, so they can buy a set for you and your sister."
Geng Benben: “My parents don’t have much money.”
Ye Fan didn't just talk nonsense.
I heard Geng Zhiye say before that his second brother and sister-in-law wanted to support the family. Geng Zhiye's father said that he couldn't even spend all his pension, so what would he do with his son's money? Second brother Geng and second sister-in-law buy things for the elderly during New Years and holidays, and occasionally buy clothes for their children. Toiletries and school supplies were either bought by Geng Zhiqin or bought by Geng's father while he was walking.
The couple eats in the canteen and lives in an apartment, has very few vacations, and has no time to spend money. They save money compared to Ye Fan on Hengshan Island, where prices are extremely low.
Brother Geng has been working for almost 20 years. He can save 500 yuan a year to buy a house for his son in a university town far away from the city center. The second sister-in-law's salary is not as high as that of the second brother, and with the money she has saved over the years, she can buy Ye Fan's house.
However, Geng Zhiye’s second brother may not buy it, and may even ask why he needs so many houses.
Ye Fan said to his eldest nephew: "Your mother works longer hours than me, and your father works longer hours than your uncle. If we can afford it, they can afford it."
Geng Huihui came in and said angrily: "Auntie, grandma said I am sick!"
Ye Fan was not surprised at all. She cleaned the things and put them away: "Does it mean that an old woman wants a house?"
Geng Huihui couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, and her aunt was stunned: "I said I would give it to my aunt in the future, but she said I wanted to kill her!"
Ye Fanxin said that she was worried that she and your sister-in-law would have to live separately since we had a house. We don't care whether she and your sister-in-law live or die in the future.
"Your grandma is worried about encountering someone who is going to be destitute." Ye Fan said, "I told your grandma to buy it and rent it out. The monthly rent collected is like the interest paid by the bank. When others ask, they will say I bought it."
Geng Huihui and her aunt made money, and subconsciously thought that they would not lose money by listening to her aunt: "Then let me ask again?" After saying that, she ran back to the kitchen.
Dabao held his chin and said, "Sister Huihui is not tired either."
Ye Fan: "Dabao, the total area of the house here is about the same as that of the old house. From now on, you will have one and Erbao will have another."
Dabao stood up: "Where are you and dad? Don't you want us anymore?"
Ye Fan was speechless and wanted to laugh. The old and young in her family were worried that she and Geng Zhiye would not want them. "Mom and dad live in the work unit. The work unit gives dad a house. Besides, mom is so good. In the future, when she makes money, she will dominate the surrounding area." Buy all the houses and give them a house after your uncle and aunt retire, so that they can all live together.”
Geng Benben: "Give me a set too?"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "If there are many suites, I will give you one. But I said it is useless for you. Your parents don't even want their old house, so they will let you want my house?"
Geng Benben shook his head, definitely not.
"If my parents agree to buy a house, then my sister and I will have a house, and my aunt won't have to give it to us." Geng Benben sighed, "After all, I still want my parents to let go. My dad has been using the wrench for a long time, and his brain is also damaged. More and more screwed up.”
Dabao and Erbao couldn't help laughing.
Geng Benben nodded to prove that he was not talking nonsense, "Really, I'm not joking. They thought that grandma and grandpa loved me and were kind to me, so they asked me to stay at grandma and grandpa's house. But I didn't want grandma to be so kind to me. Fortunately, my aunt and uncle came back. Auntie is good at studying, and Dabao and Erbao are also good at studying. In your family, my parents don’t agree and don’t dare to say that they are afraid that I will learn badly.”
Geng Huihui came in, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Grandma agreed. But she didn't agree at first. My sister-in-law said to write your name, you can create a certificate for grandma." At this point, she was very puzzled, "But even if there is a certificate, If you don’t want to give it to her in the future, she won’t do it either. Is grandma stupid?”
Ye Fan whispered: "Your sister-in-law is coaxing her."
Geng Huihui didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Ye Fan: "Ask your grandma when she's going to have a look. If you think about it, I'll ask Dabao Erbao's grandma to come and stay for a day and cook for them. I'll accompany your grandma to the housing management bureau."
Geng Huihui curled her lips: "If you don't tell me, I'll go back and ask myself."
Ye Fan nodded: "We'll talk about it later. Now let's go and ask." As he spoke, he wiped the book shelf again, took a few steps back, and found that it didn't look good with all the vases and ornaments. "Dabao, mommy will buy some someday." Would it look better to put jade, stone, wood, and bamboo carvings on it? ”
Erbao: "Mom, why don't you ask me?"
Ye Fanxin said, how old are you and what do you know? "Because there is no bookshelf in your room, mom subconsciously forgot about it." Ye Fan didn't wait for his daughter to complain, "But there is a bookshelf in Erbao's room, and you can also put small things in the empty space of the bookshelf. Erbao also helps mother take a look."
The little girl's face turned from gloomy to clear, and Ye Fan let out a breath of relief.
Dabao nodded his little head and said: "Mom, if you put bamboo and wood carvings on top, they won't break if they fall. If you put a vase on top, they will break if they fall. Stone carvings will hurt if they hit you."
Geng Benben nodded: "Dabao is right."
Erbao also nodded: "Brother is right."
Ye Fan asked: "So you three are still fighting in the house?"
The three little ones didn't want to answer this question and wanted to go out to play immediately.
It was almost time to eat, so Ye Fan asked the three of them to play in the courtyard for a while while waiting for dinner.
Erbao took out her rope and asked her brother and cousin to wind it while she skipped. If the second baby gets tripped by the rope or gets tired, it's her brother or cousin's turn.
Geng Huihui leaned against the kitchen door frame and watched for a while before joining in.
Yu Wentao muttered in the kitchen: "On such a hot day, isn't it hot to jump rope under the sun?"
Ye Fan came in to see if he could help. Hearing her words, he smiled and said, "Get some sunshine and grow taller."
"What did your mother say?" Yu Wentao asked.
Ye Fan: "The doctor said it. Sunbathe in the sun and replenish calcium. Calcium is needed for body growth. Look, Erbao can grow as tall as me in the future, Huihui can grow a little taller, and Dabao and Benben will definitely be taller than their father." .”
"Your second brother is not tall either." Yu Wentao muttered again.
Geng Zhiye's second brother is half a head shorter than Geng Zhiye, and his second sister-in-law is also half a head shorter than Ye Fan. One of the couple is honest and the other is quiet. They don't seem to have much ability, so Yu Wentao doesn't have much ability in teasing the second brother and the two, and the neighbors don't suspect it. Pass.
Ye Fan was too lazy to argue with her mother-in-law: "I'm going to report to school tomorrow. Why don't you go over and look at the house yourself? When you mentioned the price, you said you couldn't make the decision. You have to ask me when I'm in college."
Yu Wentao had never bought a house before and felt unsure. When she heard that Ye Fan wanted to negotiate the price, she was no longer afraid.
The next morning, after returning from Erbao School, Yu Wentao went to the back, just two alleys away from Ye Fan's house. The owner of that house still lives there, but there is only one old lady at home.
Yu Wentao chatted with her for a while and figured out that the old lady's eldest son and younger daughter were abroad, and the second son did not study well and went to a technical school. The old lady and her husband did not want to die in a foreign country, so they stayed in China with their second son.
Now that we can communicate with the outside world, our eldest son and youngest daughter asked them all to go out, and a house has been arranged for them.
Yu Wentao praised the old lady for her filial piety, saying it was unlike her who only had one daughter.
Geng Zhiye and Yu Wentao were seen by the old lady when they were moving. The old lady specifically asked the neighbors of Ye Fan's house to confirm that they were still unhappy after buying that house.
The old lady always wanted to ask how much it was but never had the chance. After hearing Yu Wentao's words, she asked first: "Isn't Comrade Geng your son?"
"I am the stepmother. His mother was gone when he was young, so I raised him. My daughter-in-law is also filial. But what's the use of being filial now? When my grandson grows up and gets married, the house is not enough to live in, and he has to kick me out." Yu Wentao sighed, "My nephew also cares about the money the old man left for me. Country people have no money."
The old lady nodded in understanding.
"I wanted to buy a bigger house while I still had money, but my daughter-in-law wanted to save face and didn't want my money, so she bought the house quietly."
The old lady asked: "Your son and daughter-in-law are good-looking and have good temperament. Are they officials? Officials have to save face."
Yu Wentao wanted to show off that Geng Zhiye was at the National Defense University, but suddenly remembered that Geng Zhiye had mentioned before that where he would be assigned in two years would depend on his performance, and he immediately dared not tell the truth for fear of causing trouble for him, "A son is not as capable as his daughter-in-law. He is now a student at Beijing University.”
The old lady was shocked: "Beijing University? It's not easy to take the exam!"
"Yes. After graduation, I will definitely go to a top university." Yu Wentao said.
The old lady nodded: "No wonder you cherish feathers so much. How much does that house cost?"
"The daughter-in-law said that the landlord had a lot of money to spend and wanted to marry his daughter-in-law, so he sold it for 6,000 yuan."
The old lady immediately wanted to curse. How could it be sold at such a low price? That house cost at least 8,000 yuan. If the inside was well maintained, it would cost 10,000 yuan!
"You - your son and daughter-in-law are getting a big deal." The old lady said insincerely.
Yu Wentao: "The house is very old and not as bright as your house. Is your house quite expensive?"
The old lady blurted out: "Fifteen thousand."
Yu Wentao wanted to curse. Even if the "six thousand" Ye Fan said this morning was not the real price, it was actually ten thousand. The old lady's fifteen thousand was too much.
"No wonder my son and daughter-in-law bought it over there. Fifteen thousand, they can't afford it." After Yu Wentao said that, he stood up and left without any hesitation. It seemed that he just didn't want to buy it.
Yu Wentao actually didn't want to buy it.
The old lady stopped Yu Wentao and said that we could talk more.
Yu Wentao said: "The house over there includes furniture."
Old lady: "We can't take away the furniture, we also include the furniture."
Yu Wentao still talks too much. The old lady asked her to tell her the price, and Yu Wentao said ten thousand. The old lady wanted to beat her out with a cane. Yu Wentao didn't wait for her to say goodbye and took the initiative to say goodbye.
Ye Fan took the bus home at noon. When Yu Wentao saw her, he said: "The house in the back is too expensive. That old lady is not as generous as our previous landlord. Maybe the housing authority will increase the price again. I'll take a look tomorrow." Something else.”
Ye Fan was curious: "You can tell that someone is stingy after a long time?"
Yu Wentao nodded: "His words reveal that our former landlord is stupid. I don't like such a person. I agree if you want to buy it, but my money cannot be cheaper than such a person. At most ten thousand!"
