Chapter 141 Buying a House
It is actually not as exaggerated as Ma Zhenzhong said, because it is located at the foot of the mountain, and it was inevitable that stone and earthen walls would be used to enclose the yard.
Now, looking out, two of the courtyard walls collapsed and piled up with messy stones, but they also added sparse fences.
A wooden courtyard gate is much more grand than the fence gate of the Guan family. With a creaking sound, after the captain Ma Qing Guoma opened it, it was as impressive as Guan Youshou had seen it.
There are three large earthen houses located in the north and south, as well as lower houses (warehouses), water wells, chicken coops, pigpens, dog kennels, and so on.
However, due to the lack of repairs for many years, the exterior walls of the three earthen-breasted rooms and warehouses have more or less yellow mud, revealing some stone surfaces.
There were some straw ridges on the roofs of the two houses, and they swayed back and forth wildly as the spring wind blew.
Then step into the outer room of the main house, you can see the west room that has collapsed half of the walls, and the fire kang that has collapsed from the east and west houses.
It really seems down and out!
But laymen can watch the fun, while those who are experts can see the tricks.
Just one glance, Guan Youshou took a fancy to this place.
The three main houses and warehouses are said to be adobe houses, but the bottom half of the wall is all made of bluestone, and the roof beams, beams, purlins, rafters, doors and windows are all red pine.
It is to build a new house for him. The main expenses are essential, that is, wood money. Only those with money buy pine, cypress, and those without money usually use ordinary poplar.
These are all good wood!
In this period when the commune requires approval from the commune and the team cadres to discuss and discuss everything, these wood and stones can save a lot of trouble.
Of course, if you are not in a hurry to move, you may have to wait for another year or two, and wait for the team to take it back and then propose to buy it will definitely take a big advantage.
But Guan Youshou knew it well, and he didn't say that he was in a hurry to move out of the nursing home. Captain Ma saw that it was one thing to take care of him for his nephew, but when the team took it back, the other party couldn't make the decision.
There are more juniors waiting for the house to get married. I just want to compete with others. It takes a lot of energy to just give gifts and say good things, and the offer is not too outrageous.
Fifty yuan?
It sounds like a lot.
The 30 yuan must be transferred to the son of the fifth master of the original owner, and the 20 yuan is handed over to the team, but no matter what, he has gained nothing.
Not to mention that I can owe the 20 yuan from the team to settle the settlement at the end of the year, I feel that I am in trouble on the surface, and I can also participate in the same batch of families who have applied for homesteads to go up the mountain to cut trees together.
Moreover, the yard is flat and has a certain slope. It is backed by the North Mountain and Yunshan in the east. It can overlook the entire village. This is a Feng Shui treasure land.
What's even better is that there is about 200 meters away from the yard of Ma Zhenxing in front, and only 500 to 600 meters away from the yard of Mr. Zhao on the north side.
This location is quiet enough and not deserted.
Ma Qingguo waited for him to walk around and asked, "How is it? If possible, I'll go to the team headquarters to pay the money and sign it."
Before Guan Youshou could reply, Ma Zhenzhong kicked the corner of the wall with disgust. As the mud fell, he looked at Ma Qingguo sadly.
"Uncle, this is not worth 50 yuan. Isn't it possible to push the house again? The homestead is free of money, and this place is far from the entrance of the village."
With a "bang", Ma Qingguo patted his nephew, "What's the matter? This money is not given to me. Please stop interrupting, there is something that people want."
Guan Youshou hurriedly pulled his buddy over, "Uncle, Dazhong is having fun with you. I'll listen to you, and now I'll go over and get the procedures with you so that there will be more dreams."
"Look, this is the sensible person!" Ma Qingguo smiled and glanced at them, "It's almost time to go to work, why don't you hurry up."
When Ma Zhenzhong saw him turning away with his hands behind his back, he quickly winked and poked Guan Youshou, pointing to the direction of the well in the yard and comparing.
Guan Youshou understood it instantly. It was just like this well, and it seemed nothing, but if you really wanted to find a master to come and dig it, it would cost a lot of money and have to entertain others for a few meals.
What is the most valuable thing now?
It's undoubtedly ration.
So, in fact, the yard is worth the price now!
It would be too late to wait for someone to understand. After all, I took over directly with the owner and didn't lose money in the team. Just as the captain said just now, once the news is released, someone will really poach the enemy.
When I returned to the team headquarters, it was almost time to start working, and the old accountant was already there. Guan Youshou didn't dare to delay too much, so I went to discuss with my wife.
The captain there was writing, and he took out 35 yuan and put it on the table, declaring that he didn't have to owe the team 20 yuan first, and to owe the team 15 yuan first while he had money.
This move undoubtedly made Captain Ma Qingguo and others look up even more. Everyone knows how much a son has divided after the separation of the Guan family.
"Lighten enough!"
"He's a good man!"
Guan Youshou touched the back of his head honestly. In fact, if he hadn't adhered to the principle that money could not be exposed, he would have hoped to be debauchery without any debts.
Retrieve the documents and notes, and as for the subsequent procedures, you have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Captain Ma and his division agreement will go to the commune to handle it.
Finally completing the biggest thought and leaving the brigade headquarters, Guan Youshou was indescribable and relaxed.
Seeing that he was smiling, Ma Zhenzhong quipped, "Are you afraid that you will make a decision alone? Your wife will strangle you to death?"
Guan Youshou smiled proudly, "My wife listens to me." Pinch him? As long as his wife can move, catch up with sowing seeds, and raise pigs and chickens, it is too late to be happy.
Ma Zhenzhong shook his head and smiled, "The yard is down, what should I do? I just want to push it. The money in my hand is useless. I will find a few of them to gather up five rooms."
Guan Youshou pondered for a moment, "It's not a matter of money. If you start the house again, it's too eye-catching and there's too much trouble. I want to go to plant something first."
"It's okay, take your time, anyway, you can do whatever you want. Should we gather together tonight? Say hello to those guys first."
Guan Youshou nodded and smiled, "It's still at your house tonight, it's inconvenient for me."
"No problem. You can move out in the future. It's close to my house. My buddy just needs to go straight to drink if you want to drink, and you don't have to worry about being obsessed with the wrong way."
After saying this, the two of them laughed happily when they remembered some embarrassing things about getting drunk.
When he arrived at the field, Guan Youshou ran to his wife and said that it was done, and then ran away like that. Ye Xiuhe was so angry that she almost picked up the seedlings and smashed them on his back.
Fortunately, Guan Ping'an and Guan Tianyou are not far away. One wants to follow the seedlings, and the other is thinking about helping.
The brother and sister chased after seeing this. After waiting so much, they finally saw their figure, but before they could tell the story, how could they let it go?
"Dad, how about it?"
Seeing her father's face full of joy, Guan Ping'an asked happily, "Is it done?"
Guan Youshou smiled and pointed in front. Yo, glaring in joy, no, and shifted a little, "Just that! On the left is the old forest, on the right is your Grandpa Zhao's house, and in front is your Uncle Daxing's yard."
When Guan Ping'an learned the address, he was excited to rub his hands with two little hands. She knew that the place was still the only place she had to go through early every day.
The yard is closer to the old forest. Isn’t it the place where Mr. Zhao practices boxing every day. The earth walls in the yard have fallen down, but the old man said he has a master.
She immediately raised her head and looked at Guan Youshou in confusion, "Dad, isn't that yard belonging to Master Ma San. I've seen him inside several times."
"He is helping people look at the yard."
"Dad, does Master Ma San grow vegetables in the yard?" Guan Tianyou was very concerned about this issue. But he heard his mother muttering several times that he was afraid that there would be no food to eat this year.
"No, you, Mr. Ma San, can't be busy." Guan Youshou didn't say that he had taken a big advantage this time. If it was too late, it would be troublesome to wait until the old man planted it.
