But before Abu finished speaking, He Yuzhu interrupted with a smile:
"Don't worry, your request is nothing to me. My mother left early, and my father ran away with the widow. I don't have any old people, so you can live with me from now on..."
As soon as Abu heard He Yuzhu's words, he immediately felt familiar. A young couple had said similar words to deceive him before.
He had no children in his life, and he had no one to accompany him when he was old. Living alone in that yard would indeed make him feel lonely.
Some people understand the mood of the lonely old man and will perform various performances at the beginning to show their utmost concern for him, with the purpose of bargaining.
This was the case with a young couple before. After breaking through their psychological defenses step by step, they started to pretend to be poor and cry poor when negotiating the price.
But at that time, because of their previous performance, Abu had already lowered the price to 1,000 yuan, which was considered a bargain price.
But these two people were still dissatisfied and insisted on the price of 500 yuan. In the end, when they saw that Abu didn't agree with it, they immediately became furious, pointed at his nose and yelled at him.
These bad guys said nice things, but they actually had evil intentions, just to deceive him and defraud him of his ancestral home.
If he hadn't spent most of his turbulent life, observing the warmth and warmth of people, he would know how deep-minded these individuals are.
Otherwise, he might have been deceived out of the house, and now he might have been kicked out of the yard and left to fend for himself.
Although Abu felt uneasy, he thought of Deng Baoying and thought that Deng Baoying approved what He Yuzhu was doing, so he decided to take He Yuzhu to have a look first.
At the same time, he also made up his mind that if He Yuzhu was also a beast, then he must tell Deng Baoying to prevent this girl from being deceived.
After a while, Abu brought He Yuzhu to the front of his yard.
The courtyard looks okay from the outside, and the front door is decent and not high-profile, but once inside, it looks dilapidated.
There were two pines and cypresses in the courtyard, but Abu probably didn't care about them. Half of one of them was withered and yellow, and there were still dead branches and leaves scattered on the ground.
At a glance, except for the door of the room where Abu often lives, which looks cleaner, the other doors are covered with thick dust. When you get closer, you can still see the layers of spider webs.
Looking at He Yuzhu's expression, Abu knew that the courtyard was really dilapidated, so he rubbed his hands and smiled sheepishly:
"Zhuzi, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I live as an old man and I usually don't take care of it...
In fact, this yard is pretty well cleaned. By the way, there is a small pond in my backyard...
Hi, but I haven’t taken care of it for a long time. I guess the water holes are blocked, and the designation doesn’t look good now..."
Although the courtyard looked bad, He Yuzhu still fell in love with it at first sight. It was a single courtyard, and the front door was not particularly prominent.
Moreover, the location is at the back of the street, and there is a house blocking the front. This yard is quiet in the middle of the bustle, which is great!
At this time, He Yuzhu was even more delighted when he heard from Abu that there was a pond in the backyard, and quickly urged Abu to take him to see it.
The small pond was just as Abu said. The water holes were blocked and the surrounding areas of the pond were dry. Only a small spot in the middle still had a little water.
After looking around the yard, He Yuzhu also had a renovation plan in mind. When the time comes, he will ask someone to tidy up the yard, clear out the mud in the pond, and raise a few fish.
No matter how good the house is, it needs "popularity" after all. With fewer people living there, no matter how good the house is, it will look depressed.
While looking at the yard, He Yuzhu told Abu about his renovation plan. The two of them were thinking about their future life, and the distance between them became a little closer.
When the two of them walked into the room where Abu usually lived, He Yuzhu felt a sore nose. In this room, a thief would cry even if he came in.
Inside is a broken table with a small bowl of pickles on it, and a three-legged bench.
Although the table has four legs, there is a tile underneath one of the legs.
Walking further inside, there is only one bed left. On the bed there is only a quilt whose original color can no longer be seen and a thin mattress.
He Yuzhu touched it with his hands and found that the bedding was damp. When he looked up, he found that the roof tiles were loose. It seemed that the snow water that had seeped in before had wet the quilt.
"Uncle Abu, you can't live like this. I'll fix the roof for you later...
I'll get you some thin noodles and steam some steamed buns for you...I'll take this quilt out for you to dry first..."
When Abu saw He Yuzhu talking and starting to work with his hands, he felt moved in his heart.
Except for Deng Baoying, no one has ever cared about him like this!
Although he said rejection, he did not refuse in action. Instead, he sat on the three-legged stool and watched He Yuzhu busy with a smile.
He Yuzhu's performance made Abu very satisfied, but apart from this satisfaction, he also felt a faint worry in his heart...
"Uncle Abu, your yard is really nice. I like it very much. Although it is a bit far from the steel rolling mill, it is convenient for me to ride a bicycle.
We are discussing business, so you can tell us exactly how many supplies you want in exchange for your yard."
Abu looked at He Yuzhu's expression carefully and saw that the other person had a sincere face and did not seem to have any calculations.
But due to his character, Abu decided to test it first and said bluntly:
"You have seen the layout and location of my yard. It will definitely be good to clean it up. If we have a good talk, it will definitely be worth two thousand yuan.
But since you are a friend of Baoying girl and we are in love, I only want 1,500 yuan of food from you. What do you think?"
After Abu finished speaking, he saw that He Yuzhu was deep in thought and did not answer for a while, and his heart slowly sank.
He even began to worry that the other party would yell at him the next second, just like the young couple...
I couldn't help but start to murmur in my heart: It seems that this girl Baoying is still too young and lacks experience and doesn't know how to look at people...

Just as he was thinking about something, Abu suddenly heard He Yuzhu say:
"Uncle Abu, the price is very reasonable. I want it. But...I'm afraid I can't give you all this food at once...
Think about it, the food worth 1,500 yuan, even if it is 250 pounds of Fuqiang powder, it is still 6,000 pounds.
You won’t be able to finish eating this until the end of the Year of the Monkey, and insects are easy to grow in summer. Besides, if the street office sees it... we can’t tell.
Moreover, I'm not afraid to give you a hard time. I really can't get so many fine noodles at once, so I have an idea and want to hear your opinion..."
In fact, six thousand kilograms of fine noodles is a piece of cake for He Yuzhu, but he is worried that the poor Abu will not be able to keep it after "getting rich overnight".
If his promiscuity has no limit, then He Yuzhu, the buyer, will be completely ruined, and he will definitely have to eat peanuts by then.
"I will give you fifty pounds of thin noodles and twenty yuan in cash every month. This is also convenient for you to eat fresh ingredients and have money on hand at all times.
Let's sign a donation agreement. You donate this yard to me. After we go to the street office to complete the formalities, the title deed will still be in your hands.
After I give you all my thousand and fifty grains, you can give me the land deed. Anyway, I can't escape from the steel rolling mill. What do you think?"
After listening to He Yuzhu's suggestion, Abu agreed in his heart. He took out all six thousand kilograms of grain at once, and he himself really couldn't resist it.
And for He Yuzhu, even if he is a chef in the back kitchen of a steel rolling mill with thousands of people, it is easier than ordinary people to find food, but it is really too difficult for him to get so much at once.
But if he agreed to the other party's suggestion, he felt really uneasy. After thinking about it, Abu decided to think about it again.
And He Yuzhu looked at the sky getting late. It was working time for him now, and it was inconvenient to stay outside for a long time.
Besides, such a "life-long event" must be carefully considered, so He Yuzhu stopped staying too much, said hello to Abu and walked towards the steel rolling mill...
