Walking up the water, there are roads paved with bluestones on both sides. Over time, the stone slabs have become a little shiny. The closer you get to the foot of the mountain, the sparser the houses, and gradually only low bushes can be seen.

There are tall trees and red persimmons hanging high on the branches in the distance.

"Where's the house?" Seeing that he was about to enter the mountain if he didn't stop, Song Hongguo couldn't help but ask.

"Over there." Zhao Zhenhua pointed with his hand, "Did you see it? The two tallest persimmon trees are in the front yard. They are a hundred years old and only become conspicuous in autumn. The trees are full of persimmons. Uncle Cheng also

If you don’t pick it, just wait until it turns red, which is a happy and beautiful sight.”

Song Hongguo's heartbeat had already accelerated, and she truly understood what it felt like to fall in love at first sight.

The house is located a bit high, hidden behind a group of trees. You can vaguely see the stone wall extending out for a long time, and you can't even see the end. However, the thick branches of the persimmon tree proudly rush out, pointing straight to the sky.

This is a proper mid-level mansion.

"Host, what are you waiting for? Start shooting quickly..." The system popped up as a reminder.

Song Hongguo happily fulfilled its wish, and quickened her pace with the mood of going on a date with her first love.

Walking closer, looking up along the stone steps, you will see two old elm doors that are simple and quiet, like a hermit hidden in the mountains, giving people a strong urge to explore.

The handle and lock on the door were still made of copper, glowing with a mysterious cold light. Zhao Baoqing caught up from behind, took out a bunch of keys, unlocked the door, pushed the door hard, and stepped in first.

Song Hongguo was still standing outside the threshold. At this moment, there was one sentence swirling in her mind: This is it.

In fact, the yard was overgrown with weeds at the moment and looked messy and dilapidated, without any aesthetic appeal, but she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding. She wished she could get the money right away, sign and seal it, and definitely take possession of the house.

But obviously, Zhao Baoqing didn't think so. He took her from the pomegranate tree and small pond in the front yard to the well and chicken pen in the backyard. He then opened the door of the main room, pointed to the empty main room, and persuaded her with sincerity, "This is

You have also seen the house, and no one can unconscionably say that the house is not good, but it is not suitable for you three to live in. There is no one around, and if something happens, no one will hear you even if you shout..."

"Uncle, I just like peace and quiet. Besides, what can happen if the courtyard wall is so high? Could it be that there are still petty thefts in our brigade?"

"That's definitely not the case." Zhao Baoqing finished speaking decisively, then frowned and said, "The most decent furniture in this house was paid for, and was moved away, leaving nothing behind. However, the price was determined after discussion with the team.

Seriously, it’s only two hundred yuan, not even a penny less, anyone who buys it will pay this amount..."

"Then two hundred yuan, uncle, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Song Hongguo was thinking about the house at the moment, and she was very easy to talk to.

Zhao Zhenhua was happy, "Cousin, what's wrong with my father? He thinks it's a bit of a loss to buy this house. You're not an outsider, so he can still watch you fall into the trap?"

After saying that, he changed the topic and said, "Actually, I think this house is worth 200 yuan."

"Shut up!"

"Dad, I'm not fooling my cousin, why are you anxious?" Zhao Zhenhua smiled playfully, ignoring his father's eyes, and said to Song Hongguo, "I'm not telling lies. This house was built with a lot of effort, so let's talk first.

The courtyard wall is more than 50 meters wide and 60 meters long, and is made of large bluestones. It only takes half a month to transport the stones from the mountain."

"Look at how thick the adobe is, more than 30 centimeters, and it is made of Sanhe soil. It is strong and resistant. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Moreover, the three main houses are so spacious that they can be as big as five other people's houses.

"

"And the beams, purlins, doors, panels and windows are all made of old elm wood. The materials used are so solid. They were all made by Uncle Cheng bit by bit. Slow work results in careful work. Others can only build half a house.

Months, this house has been used for half a year!"

"Not to mention how much the tiles and wood cost, how much do you think the six months of hard work in putting it in is worth? Well, that means I don't have any, otherwise I would want to buy them. Oh, dad, why did you do it?

"

Zhao Baoqing slapped him on the back of his neck and cursed, "Your father and I are still alive, and you are thinking about breaking up the family? If you continue to behave nonsense, I will beat you to death."

"Did I say we were separated?" Zhao Zhenhua looked innocent, "I just praised this house to my cousin..."

"Get lost..."

"Uncle, I think my cousin is right. This house is indeed worth the money."

Song Hongguo was in a hurry to roll up her sleeves and get started without hiding the satisfaction on her face. When Zhao Baoqing saw this, he was very conflicted in his heart. He was the one who made the final decision on the money lent by the team. Later, Uncle Cheng died and couldn't pay it back. He was the most responsible person.

, he was most looking forward to selling the house to get a good balance, but the high price of two hundred yuan made him feel guilty, especially since the person who bought it was her niece, and she was suspected of being acquainted.

"People in this era are so kind and simple." The system sighed quietly, "Obviously it was you who picked up the slack and took advantage of it, but it is others who can't bear the guilt. Where can I go to reason with you?"

Song Hongguo ignored it. Seeing that Zhao Baoqing was still hesitating, she added, "Uncle, I really like this place and want to buy it. If you really feel sorry for it, why don't you find a few people to help me clean it up later?"

"That must be no problem, your cousin is just free..." A struggle flashed in Zhao Baoqing's eyes, "Have you thought about it and really don't regret it?"

Song Hongguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go through the transfer procedures now?"

Zhao Baoqing didn't stop him this time, turned around and walked ahead.

Ten minutes later, Song Hongguo got a piece of paper handwritten by the brigade. Yes, there was no real estate certificate or land certificate. It was just a piece of paper indicating that she had been charged two hundred yuan and the house at the foot of the mountain would be returned to her.

She did.

It's just like a joke.

Fortunately, the paper was stamped with the stamp of the Red Persimmon Brigade, and the accountant of the brigade was present, so there was a witness.

"Is this enough?" Song Hongguo still felt a little dazed and unreal. It was too easy to get this mansion in the middle of the mountain. In her previous life, she was exhausted and didn't even live in it.

Zhao Baoqing cleared his throat, even more confident than she was, "Well, that house will be yours from now on, and your household registration is not in our brigade, so the procedure should be simpler, otherwise you have to go to the commune, ahem, Zhenhua,

Why are you doing this? Why don't you help your cousin clean up?"

"Am I the only one?"

"...You should call Yonghui again. Don't make too much noise, otherwise others will ask questions." Zhao Baoqing sent him away, handed the key to Song Hongguo, and whispered, "You go there first.

If someone asks you when you go home for dinner later at noon, don’t rush to say it’s the Li family to avoid trouble.”
