Taxi at night

Chapter 194, Building a house without money
When Lu Ren came to the door of the house, he was surprised to find that he hadn't seen him for a year, and the yard had changed a lot.The original three main houses were built with another layer on top to become a two-story building, and the low tile-roofed houses on both sides were also demolished and rebuilt, two on one side, four new one-story houses were built, and then two 1.5 The large iron gate with copper-clad nails and red lacquer, and the eaves on the lintel edge are antique glazed dripping eaves. From the appearance, it has the taste of a Beijing courtyard.

Lu Ren drove the car directly into the yard, parked it in a corner of the yard, and then got out of the car, just as his father Lu Decai walked in.

"Dad, you have to spend a lot of money to build so many houses." The reason why Lu Ren asked this is because at the beginning of spring last year, his father once mentioned the matter of building a house for himself, and asked himself to spend 5 yuan first. Yuan money for use.

At that time, Lu Ren needed money for an urgent matter, so he naturally postponed the family affairs indefinitely. It didn't work until his father built so many rooms in his yard, so the problem came out: the money for building the house, Dad Where did it come from?I definitely didn't give it to him, and the money in my father's hand is [-]% insufficient. I can roughly guess that this is the money my father borrowed... Thinking of this, Lu Ren felt a little bad. , if this is the case, I am afraid that the money will fall on himself!

"Ah! The cost is not much, about thirty or forty thousand!" Lu Decai didn't even look at his son, he agreed indiscriminately, and walked into the hall with his head bowed in a muffled voice.

Of course, this was not what Lu Ren wanted, so he followed his father closely, and said as he walked, "I didn't expect my father to have some money in his hand. I thought it was borrowed."

"I don't have enough money, so I borrowed some money. Son, I'm afraid you have to help me pay back the borrowed money." Lu Decai bent over a chair and said embarrassedly.

"How much did you borrow?" Lu Ren had already prepared in his heart. Although he was unwilling, there was no better way. Who made him his father?
"Thirty thousand."

"That is to say, this house was built with borrowed money. You don't even have ten thousand yuan in your hand, right?" Lu Ren couldn't laugh or cry. He dared to borrow money to build a house with only a few thousand yuan. Dad didn't dare, since this remarriage, his courage and vigor are completely opposite to before, it can be regarded as one heaven and one earth.

"Yeah! It's a strange thing to say. I didn't want to build a house because it's hard to borrow money. I didn't expect that at the beginning of spring, there was a village gathering, and I said something occasionally, saying that I planned to let you send some money back to build it in the second half of the year." I didn’t expect Boss Liu to come to the door after hearing this, saying that he doesn’t need a penny to help me build the house, and I’ll settle the bill at the end of the year. Son... actually someone actually lent me the money? You think it’s weird No wonder?" Lu Decai said proudly, feeling that he had more face in the village.

Lu Ren also knew something about the situation in the village. For example, when building a house in the village, you may not be afraid that you have no money, but you may not be able to borrow money. Many buildings in the village were built together by seven aunts and eight aunts. Well, the owner's family also owed a lot of debt, and then the whole family went out to work to pay off the debt... This is the normal state in the village.

Dad also took this path, the only difference from others is that Dad is ashamed of face and ashamed to ask others to borrow money.However, after Boss Liu learned of his father's thoughts, he took the initiative to help build the house. Lu Ren could imagine that his father was surprised and delighted at the time.

Boss Liu is Liu Jiang's elder brother. He is ten years older and has been engaged in construction contracting all year round. He has undertaken more than 90% of the buildings in the village by himself.

Lu Ren could completely imagine why Liu Jiang invited him to his home for dinner?There are also factors of asking for money in disguise.

"Dad, I brought 3 yuan with me when I came back this time. I was planning to build a house in the spring of this year. If you build it like this now, what will I do with my homestead?" Lu Ren took out a red card from his bag. Passbook, pass it to Lu Decai.

"Why not? Pay off the debt first, and then build it in the second half of the year." Lu Decai took the passbook uneasy, feeling a little sorry for his son. It really doesn't sound good to say it.

But who let him have no money, Lu Ren's stepmother kept urging Lu Decai to build a house, and the few houses built were probably not for Lu Ren.

"Looks like that's the only way to go." Lu Ren understands the situation in the village. Boss Liu is not a person who helps others for no reason. He is a businessman. If you hold it, it will safely fall into Boss Liu's pocket.

As soon as the two of them finished talking about their business, the stepmother came from the kitchen with two hot dishes and shouted as she walked in the yard, "Old Lu, you haven't set the table yet, let's eat!" Luo, the man had already walked in, saw Lu Ren, smiled and said: "Brother Fanfan, knowing you came back today, he specially steamed braised pig's trotters and braised sweet and sour fish for you... Hurry up and eat a couple of bites while it's hot, and don't eat it when it's cold." tasty."

Lu Ren hurriedly stood up, reached out to take the plates and put them on the table, and asked with a smile, "Where's my little sister? I saw you playing outside the yard just now, why can't you see anyone now?"

"Didn't you go out to show off... Speaking of which, I still blame you. I just bought clothes and leather shoes. I put them on when I got home, and said I would go out to show my classmates in the village... Haha." As soon as the stepmother came in, she caught a glimpse of her husband's hand Don't mention the red passbook in my heart, so I treat Lu Ren with more enthusiasm and care. Thinking about it, who doesn't greet Shancai boy with a smile?
"Really? I can't wait even one day. After all, I'm a primary school student. Dad, I'll go out and look for it!" Lu Ren turned to go out, but was stopped by his stepmother: "You don't know where she likes? I'll look for it."

Seeing that his stepmother couldn't see her when she went out, Lu Ren said to his father, "I just bought a house in the city last month, and it is currently being renovated. Putting things aside for now, even if Boss Liu doesn't want money to build a house...it won't work."

Lu Decai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and asked back: "Don't you have a house? Why buy another house? Are you planning to speculate in real estate?"

"That's not true...but in the second half of the year, I'm really planning to speculate in real estate! Seeing that the price of a taxi is getting higher and higher, it's impossible to buy one, so I want to change direction and buy a house for speculative speculation. , and maybe make some money."

Lu Ren now earns nearly 2 yuan a month. If he uses it to buy a car, a taxi costs more than 50 yuan, which is not enough to buy a taxi in two years.In this way, the spare money in hand must find a correct direction, and storing it in the bank to earn interest is the most stupid way.Undoubtedly, housing prices are the fastest-appreciating property, and the money in his hand can just meet the requirements in this regard, so he decided to take a risk.

Lu Decai couldn't understand his son's world, but it was true that his son didn't plan to build a house this year, which made him a little bit frustrated. Before his wife and daughter came back, he picked up chopsticks and started eating slowly.
