After Song Hongguo left, the third sister-in-law of the Zhao family couldn't help but murmur.

"His third uncle led people in before. I thought he was an educated youth from Shanghai. Who would have thought that he was actually the child of my aunt's family? Don't tell me, if you look carefully, your facial features are somewhat similar. I heard that my aunt's face is similar.

When he was young, he was the most handsome man in the eight villages within ten miles..."

"Sister-in-law, it's not enough for a woman to be handsome, she must also be blessed, otherwise she will die. At that time, the second grandfather wanted to keep my aunt at home to find a new wife. Who would have thought that she could find a worker outside because of her own abilities?

The second aunt was deceived, thinking that she went to the town to enjoy the blessings, but... tsk tsk, I think it's not as good as the second aunt, at least she didn't throw her child into the stepmother's hands."

"Second sister-in-law, don't let dad hear these words. No matter what you say, she is still our aunt, so you'd better be respectful."

"Auntie, we have been divorced for so many years, and we have no contact with the Li family."

"That means my aunt is gone..."

"What about the children of the Li family? The Zhao family is their maternal cousin. Who has been in our house for so many years?"

"...Didn't someone just come here?"

"She's here to recognize her relatives? Didn't you hear that? She's here to buy a house. She even changed her surname. She's no longer a member of the Li family. But her life is good. Just by looking at her face and clothes, you can tell she has never been exposed to outsiders.

Sin, you are still enjoying great blessings. You are also rich. You can get a handful of candies every time you pay. Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t have let Mantun and Dahua go out this morning to see if you didn’t share them just now, right?”

"...His second aunt, don't let me hear this. I don't know how greedy our children are. They take advantage of everything and let the whole neighborhood know the joke."

"Haha, what's the joke? I don't believe that other people are not greedy. Our dad is still recognized as a well-behaved person in the team, so doesn't he also care about the cigarette?"

"..."

Song Hongguo couldn't hear these words. She was following Zhao Baoqing up the mountain along the stone road in the center of the village. She had just seen two houses, and she was not satisfied with either one. The house was too dilapidated and she had to go to war. Not to mention

, the most important thing is that the yard is small and cannot accommodate the garden and vegetable garden in her heart.

A few minutes later, Zhao Baoqing opened a wooden door and led her into another courtyard, "What do you think of this place? The house doesn't need to be cleaned up, the yard is spacious, and the three rooms are enough for you three."

This time, Ling Zhi was moved. He quietly pulled Song Hongguo's arm, winked at her, and asked her to ask about the price.

Song Hongguo asked him to look around, there were people living all around, and if he was trapped in the middle, could he still be clean?

Ling Zhi's enthusiasm was extinguished immediately.

"What? Still don't agree?" Zhao Baoqing frowned when he saw that there was no emotion on her face, "Although our brigade is a little far away from the commune, it is a good place with mountains and rivers. If not

There have been disasters in the past two years, some people have not survived, and there is no room for these few places. What do you want?"

Song Hongguo smiled obediently, "The surroundings are cleaner, the yard is bigger, and the house is better tidy. Uncle, is there such a thing?"

Zhao Baoqing didn't say anything for a while. He took out a homemade cigarette from his pocket, struck a match, lit it, and took two strong puffs.

Zhao Zhenhua, who came with him, suddenly said, "Don't tell me, there really is a place."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Baoqing glared at him, "Where are there other houses in our team?"

Zhao Zhenhua paid no attention to his father's warning, and said with a playful smile, "Why is it gone? Hasn't Uncle Cheng's house not been sold yet? His family lives at the foot of the mountain, with no one around, and it couldn't be more peaceful.

, the yard is also big enough, covering more than three acres of land in total, not to mention the house. There are few houses in the entire team that can be more elegant than it."

Hearing this, Song Hongguo immediately became interested. Isn't this her ideal type?

Zhao Baoqing was very opposed, "That house won't work!"

Song Hongguo was puzzled, "Why not?"

Zhao Baoqing didn't say anything. Song Hongguo thought it was because the house was unclean and there were some taboos, but Zhao Zhenhua said, "It's the price."

"Um?"

"Hehe, if I'm an outsider, I'll just sell it, but why don't you call me cousin? How can my father cheat his own niece?"

Song Hongguo asked curiously, "That house is expensive?"

Zhao Zhenhua nodded with emotion on his face, "It's quite expensive. My father can't even tell it without looking at it?"

"How much is it?"

Zhao Zhenhua stretched out two fingers.

"Two thousand?" Song Hongguo was shocked. Two thousand is indeed not cheap.

"Ahem!" Zhao Baoqing choked on the smoke.

Zhao Zhenhua also had a choked expression on his face. After a moment, he said speechlessly, "Cousin, two hundred is outrageous. How dare you guess it's two thousand?"

I don’t dare to ask for this price for a house in the city.

Song Hongguo didn't know the prices of houses at this time, so she humbly asked, "How much do the two houses I looked at before cost?"

"Fifty dollars."

"...What about here?"

"Eighty yuan." Zhao Zhenhua explained to her with his fingers, "How much does it cost to build a new house? There is no charge for the homestead, there is no charge for picking the stones for the foundation from the mountains, there is no charge for the adobe and thatch, and there is no charge for the windows and doors.

If you have trees at home, you don’t need to spend extra money on the wood. The only thing that costs money is labor. If you have many brothers in the family, you can save even this.”

After saying this, Song Hongguo understood, "Then you said Uncle Cheng's house costs 200 yuan...could it be a brick house?"

Zhao Baoqing took the words and said, "They are made of adobe. The three roofs of the main house have tiles, but the bungalows on both sides are not." After he finished speaking, he added, "The walls of his courtyard are all made of stone, two meters high.

"

Zhao Zhenhua followed closely and said, "The beams and purlins are made of old elm wood. They have been painted with persimmon paint several times and will last for a hundred years. Uncle Cheng also made the doors and windows himself. He is a carpenter, and he does that job."

He’s very particular about what he does. By the way, there’s a well in his backyard, well, there’s also a small pond in the front yard..."

The more Song Hongguo listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she couldn't help but urge, "Cousin, lead the way."

Zhao Zhenhua looked at his father's face, and when he saw no objection, he turned around with a smile and walked ahead.

Song Hongguo picked up Ling Yuan, held Ling Zhi with the other hand, and followed closely to ask, "Where is Uncle Cheng's family?"

"No," Zhao Zhenhua said in a low voice, "Uncle Cheng and his wife came from other places and had no children. A few years ago, Aunt Cheng left first, and Uncle Cheng left last fall. I know why the house had to be sold.

Two hundred? Because Uncle Cheng spent a lot of money on medical treatment and borrowed it from our team. Whoever wanted to spend the money still didn't keep it, so who will pay the debt? We can only use the house for roofing, otherwise the asking price is so high.

, I don’t know how many people want to rob that house.”

"...A lot of people want it?"
