After receiving the instructions from Chu Heng and his wife, Sun Mei gave a reassuring look and took the woman aside to discuss the price. After the two of them murmured for a while, they heard Sun Mei's signature barbell.
A general exclamation.
"What? Two hundred? I'm telling you, Xiao Zhang, just hang a knife at your door!"
"Good guy, the meat factory is not as ruthless as you. Isn't this killing people?"
"Look at these doors and windows. The paint is peeling off. They will have to repaint them later."
"And this wall is about to collapse."
"One hundred, at most one hundred yuan, not even a penny more, and you don't have to look at the year. How many people are willing to change houses at this time?"
"Okay, okay, for your sister's sake, I'll give you more."
…
After a lot of talk from Aunt Sun, the woman finally gave up and agreed to exchange her small courtyard with Chu Heng's two rooms in the large courtyard, on the condition that she would need to pay 120 yuan in replacement, and she would also get a house.
The house can't be vacated until a few months later.
This price was far lower than expected, which really made Miss Ni overjoyed. As for the subsequent moving conditions, she simply ignored them.
The pace of today's era is slow, and several years seem like one day, without any change. It's only a month, and it will pass if you sleep with a man a few more times.
It was a long night and many dreams, so Chu Heng and the others paid the money on the spot, then took the woman to the street office, and signed a house exchange agreement under the witness of the staff.
By the time they each came out of the street office holding a piece of tissue paper, in a real sense, the courtyard belonged to the Chu family.
The woman's expression was very complicated, including loneliness and sadness, but mostly numbness.
These days, her family has changed too much, and she has long been accustomed to accepting the changes.
"That's it, I'll see you later, Sister Zhang." Chu Heng waved politely to the woman and left with Sun Mei and Ni Yinghong.
On the way, Aunt Sun and Xiao Ni discussed happily how to decorate their new home, and then they talked about what vegetables should be planted in the garden, chattering non-stop.
After they returned to the unit, the other aunts knew that the house had been approved, and they actively participated in the discussion and began to express their opinions. Aunt Han even suggested not to have a vegetable garden and just add two rooms to it, so that when her son and grandson get married in the future,
It’s not like I don’t have a house to live in.
This is really far-sighted!
Chu Heng looked at Ni Yinghong amusedly, who was quite interested in the proposal. He had no intention of getting involved. He went over to his wife who was in a good mood and asked for a dollar. Then he led Guo Xia and Lian Qing in one step.
Went out to sell popsicles.
Changing a house is such a big event, is it okay to buy some popsicles to celebrate?
At the same time, Xu Damao was rushing home from work.
He thought about many things these days, and finally decided to draw a clear line with the Lou family!
Over the years of marriage, he could still diligently serve Miss Lou, eating, drinking, and having sex even though Lou Xiao'e had never given birth to a son or a half daughter for him. He felt that he had done his best to be kind and worthy of the Lou family. There was no need.
Then take care of your own future and destiny.
Most people are self-interested, right?
Xu Damao rode his bike at a fast pace and rushed back home in a short time.
At this time, the Xu family was empty. Lou Xiao'e was picked up by her driver early in the morning. She refused to say what she did specifically, but she could guess that it was probably to use her little bit of the Lou family's wealth.
谷/span> This is why Xu Damao came back to touch it in the scorching sun at noon.
Just because Lou Xiao'e was away, it was convenient for him to do some things.
He was obviously going back to his home, but Xu Damao seemed to be a thief.
I saw him sneaking into the house, and scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Then he took out a cloth bag that had been prepared for a long time from his arms, walked to the bedroom, and took out the bag that Lou Xiao'e had brought back from under the bed.
Large tote bag.
He slowly opened the zipper of the bag, and gently grabbed a handful of silver coins from it with obsession and heartache. After looking at it for a few times, he turned his wrist, and the silver coins clattered back into the bag with a clear and sweet sound.
After Xu Damao looked at the contents in the handbag in silence for a moment, he did not dare to hesitate any more. He quickly opened the bag in his hand, picked out the things from the handbag and put them into the bag.
After a while, the handbag was half empty, and he stopped.
"What a pity."
With a look of regret on his face, Xu Damao zipped up his handbag again, put it back to its original position, and then left the house carrying a bag containing a lot of money and gold and silver jewelry.
When he passed by the middle courtyard, he happened to bump into Liu Guangtian who had returned from work and was sleeping.
Ever since he started to gain momentum, he has become very popular now. He won't go even if his employer says he won't go. He is invited to drink and dine every once in a while. He is drunk almost every day.
Seeing that Xu Damao had something on his car and it was making a rattling sound, Liu Guangtian couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked: "Hey, Section Chief Xu, what are you holding? Why are you still jumping around!"
"Nothing." Xu Damao smiled at him unnaturally and hurried away with the cart.
Liu Guangtian had lived in the same hospital with him for so many years, and not only knew him well, but he still knew him somewhat. When he saw his appearance, he guessed that this guy was up to no good.
He squinted at the bulging bags on the back seat of Xu Damao's car and muttered firmly: "You idiot must have stolen someone's chicken!"
What a great clever guy...
After Xu Damao left the courtyard, he got on his car and rushed to his parents' house quickly, where he was ready to put the things in his hands.
The old couple now lives alone at his parents' place, and no one usually comes there. Moreover, the old couple are still at work. As long as he moves quickly enough and gets everything done before his parents come back, he can hide the treasure by then.
, apart from him, only heaven knows and earth knows!
It's not that he's on guard against his parents, it's just that he's worried that too many people will talk and cause more trouble.
More than ten minutes later, Xu Damao arrived at his parents' house.
The old couple also lived in a house with two entrances in a large courtyard. His family lived in the west wing of the backyard.
He greeted a few familiar neighbors along the way and soon arrived at the door. After taking out the key and unlocking the door, he quickly entered the house.
After entering the house, he poked around again and found an empty jar to put the things he had brought. He then got under the bed with a small shovel and began to pry bricks and dig holes.
After working for a while, he buried the jar under the bed. Finally, he carefully found a broom and cleaned up the traces. He left a note saying that he would take a jar home to pickle pickles, so he carried a large bag with it.
The dug soil left furtively.
After leaving the yard of his parents' house, Xu Damao returned to the steel rolling mill and asked Liu Haizhong to discuss his divorce from Lou Xiao'e.
