The small town of Bandora is located in Cotura, about half an hour's drive southwest of the city, and less than ten minutes' drive from St. Andy's Farm. The location is very good, which is one of the reasons why Li Han planned to go and see it.
Just curious.
"Han, the housing prices in this town are really high." Natalie muttered. "This is strange."
"Let's go and have a look." Li Han said with a smile.
The family set out early in the morning, and Li Han told the intermediary that they wanted to move into a house as soon as possible. The three houses they looked at today can be moved into at any time, and Li Han planned to go and see them in person.
There are only two streets in the town, and the car stops at the town square. "Can't drive inside?"
"Yes." The agent said.
"Hey, look, it's a carriage." Natalie waved her hand, looking excited. "I didn't expect there is a carriage for rent here."
"For rent?" Li Han took a look and saw that it was not, with the taxi sign on it, it was really for rent.
"This is a taxi in the town. You can go anywhere within one mile of the town." Omodo.
"Within one mile, Omodo, what do you mean, you can't drive within one mile of the town?" Li Han asked.
"Yes, sir."
"This is quite interesting." Alta felt that this small town was interesting.
"A town where driving is not allowed." Zhang Xiuying has been in the United States for more than a year and knows that cars are an indispensable daily necessities for Americans.
"Yes, ma'am." Omodo said. "Please."
The family got into a taxi, oh, it was a carriage. "This is the town of Bandola, the main street, 0.3 miles long." Li Han calculated in his mind, 1.6 kilometers multiplied by 0.3, which is nearly half
kilometer.
Along the street, the carriage met three or five similar carriages. The drivers nodded and smiled at each other. There were no traffic lights or other facilities on the street. Most of the shops were closed. Customers pushed their doors open and walked in. There was no need to leave them alone.
Door.
The town has a small population, with less than 200 houses and nearly 800 people. There are shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. People are rushing around, but they don't seem to ask where to go?
"Stopped?"
"Yes, the lady is here."
"How did you know we arrived?"
Natalie looked at the coachman curiously.
Omodo said with a smile. "The houses in the town are fixed and have not been added in twenty years. You are outsiders and you can only buy the three vacant houses."
"So that's it." Natalie muttered. "Isn't the population of the small town increasing?"
Omodo smiled. "No, the increase and decrease have always maintained a balance. It's just that the economy is not very good this year and some people have left."
"Sir, madam, please come this way."
The architectural style of the houses in the small town is quite Mexican. Omodo and the Li Han family looked at the first house, which is a three-story building with a masonry structure, which is rare in Montana.
The house as a whole is brown in color. The yard or lawn in front of the house is very neatly maintained. There is a small swimming pool next to the house, and there is a small forest on the other side with tables and chairs. There is a swing in the forest.
"Please come in."
Living room and dining room on the first floor. "Wow, what a beautiful fireplace."
“Really good.”
Li Han nodded, fireplace, yes.
Zhang Xiuying looked at the kitchen. It was quite big, at least thirty square meters. Although the design was old-fashioned, the equipment was all new. "The kitchen is not bad either."
The living room is quite spacious, Li Han nodded. There is also a bathroom on the first floor. On the second floor, there are three guest rooms and a small study room. On the third floor, there is the master bedroom and children's room, plus a large balcony.
After Li Han visited, he found that although the style was a bit old, the house was not bad. "How do you feel?" Omodo asked.
"not bad."
Li Han smiled and said, "Is there anything else?"
"certainly."
The taxi seemed to know it and had been waiting by the roadside. "It hasn't left yet."
After getting on the carriage, Omodo nodded, and the coachman pulled the reins. The horse pulled the carriage and walked forward slowly along the street.
"It's really interesting."
There are very few pedestrians encountered on the road, perhaps due to the weather. "This house has the shortest construction time in the town and is the youngest house in the town. It was built in 1995."
"1995?"
Li Han did the math. Didn't he say that there had been no new houses in twenty years? "This is a special house."
This house is a typical American small building with lawns and gardens. There is no swimming pool. There is a small forest next to the house. It looks very nice. "This house has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen and a study room."
This is an anti-design. The living room is upstairs and the bedroom is downstairs. Li Han looked at it and was not very satisfied. The third building was quite good and in line with Li Han's preferences. It was a small manor and the design was similar to Mongolia.
Dana Farm's small building looks a bit like it.
"Although the fireplace is small, it still retains its personality." Natalie nodded.
"The house is not that big, but the size of the bathroom is satisfactory." Alta expressed her opinion.
Zhang Xiuying nodded. "The kitchen is sufficient and the price is relatively suitable."
The price is considered moderate. Li Han looked at the little Dudu figure. "Small tree houses are fun." A small tree house was built in the woods next to this house. Pandora, the baby, and Maria's three children liked it.
"Omodo, I think I have decided." Li Han said to Omodo.
"Okay, sir, here is the information about this house." Omodo said. "This is the cost of care."
"Nursing costs?" Li Han was a little confused and didn't quite understand.
"Yes, this house will be cleaned every day to ensure that it can be moved in at any time." Omodo said. "Everything in the house can be used normally, and you can even move in now. Of course, we need to do something
Some formalities.”
"one day?"
You must know that buying a house is not like buying something else. It will take several months. Of course, Li Han does not intend to take such a long time. "Well, I think so, I hope so."
After buying the house, Li Han's family moved in the next day. "It's really good, although the price is a bit higher." Take a horse-drawn carriage, transport your luggage, walk on the quiet streets, and greet pedestrians you meet.
I packed my luggage, sat in the living room, drank a cup of coffee, and warmed the room. The fire in the fireplace made a crisp sound from time to time. It felt really good. "Han, I just went for a walk around the town."
"What do you think I found out?"
Natalie said with a little pride on her face.
"oh?"
"Really." Natalie curled her lips. "Han, this town, you know, God, has a history of nearly a hundred years, you can't believe it."
"A hundred years?"
"That's right, in a hundred years, living habits have not changed significantly. Residents in the town do not use telephones, rarely watch TV, do not use cars, and do not use modern technological products." Natalie said with a smile.
"This is an old town."
Li Han said with a smile.
"Really surprising."
"Look, this is a towel I bought from the store. This is the style of the 1950s. It's really nostalgic." Natalie said with a smile.
Li Han looked at Natalie speechlessly, wondering what was worth missing. "This town has a lot of interesting things." "Han, are you going to go out for a walk?"
"No, I still want to see these information."
Li Han pointed to the information on St. Andy's Farm.
"What a pity, but Han, I have to tell you something. Pandora is visiting the residents of the town. She made some snacks and gave them to everyone." Natalie said with a smile.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Li Han said.
"Pandora is very popular right now," Alta said.
Natalie murmured. "It's just a kid who gets everyone's attention easily."
"Grandpa, pandora really knows how to grow vegetables." The villain, with a proud look on his face, introduced himself as a little vegetable gardening expert to an old man.
"Yes, I like to eat vegetables." The old man said. "When I was young, I also liked to grow vegetables."
"Wow, I'm so hungry." Little Dudu nodded his little head. "Grandpa, Pandora is going to plant vegetables tomorrow. Do you want to plant vegetables together?"
Pandora has found the best place to grow vegetables, an open area next to the small tree house with good soil.
"Oh, no, I can only move my hands now. Look, I can't move my legs." The old man found it difficult to raise his hands.
"Pandora, please help you." Dudu is a good boy who is willing to help others.
"No, I can't eat vegetables now."
"At that time, you could grow vegetables and sell them, and you could also see them," Dudu said.
"Maybe you are right. If you have time, help me, I think I will be very grateful." The old man said.
The villain immediately patted his chest and promised that the villain would take on more than ten kinds of dishes in one afternoon.
"Growing vegetables?"
"Um."
Li Hanzheng was looking at the information on St. Andy's Farm. He had to say that this farm, if Stanley could buy it, still had great potential. It was just potential. In the face of unpredictable weather, the fate and direction of St. Andy's Farm would be good or bad.
Bad, it’s really hard to predict.
St. Andy Farm has suffered two droughts and one tornado in the past few years. Although the tornado was not large, the two droughts almost resulted in the loss of wheat and pasture harvests.
This has had a huge impact on farm animal husbandry. It can be imagined that the number of cattle and sheep has dropped from 7,500 the year before last to 5,000 last year. Until this year, there were less than 4,000 cattle and sheep before they were sold.
Cowboys, you can't blame the original farmer for losing your job. He is almost on the verge of bankruptcy. God, who can take care of the farm cowboys. "Although the drought this year is not as severe as the previous two years, the pasture production is still less than half of normal.
The wheat situation is better, but it still cannot reach 80% of the usual yield."
Li Han spent the entire afternoon studying this information. He put it down when he saw the villain and came back. He listened to Pandora's idea of growing vegetables and smiled. "What are these?"
"It's the home of grandpa and grandma."
Dudu said. "Dad, Pandora is going to buy a lot of seeds and vegetable growing tools. Are you going?"
"Okay, daddy will go with you."
Li Han smiled and nodded. "It seems that many people need Pandora's help in growing vegetables?"
"Well, there are many, many, many." Dudu said proudly.
