Take the whole family through the library

Chapter 36 Buying a House
Zhang Ying nodded, "An old family is like a treasure. I am used to living in the yard, and I don't want to change it in a short time. Why don't you tell the landlord that we will remodel the second floor and divide it into two rooms."

Lin Sanfu teased in a doting tone. "You are not used to living in the courtyard, you are used to living in this area. You complained about the poor lighting in this room before!"

"Hehe. If there is a better house nearby, I agree to move. Haha." Zhang Ying replied with a smile.

"Father! Why did grandma tell you to go out? Why are you whispering!" Lin Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"Didn't say anything, just called me to Lizheng's house. Lizheng has encircled a piece of land for me and your second uncle for us to build a house. I don't want the big one, I want the rest. That one. But don’t worry, the land is not small at all. It’s enough for our family to build a courtyard, plant some fruit trees in front of and behind the house, and build a vegetable garden.” Lin Sanfu said.

"After we go back, we will study again." Zhang Ying said.

As night fell, the moon emerged quietly from the clouds.Creaking, the wooden window was pushed open, and Lin Qiaoqiao flipped up again, leaning against the window and looking at the night sky tonight.

"Miss Xiaolin, Xiaosheng seems a little unhappy when he sees you. What's the matter? In the past, every time you went back to your hometown, you would always look at the moon with a smile on your face. Is this because of anger?" Chen Xiucai said.

Lin Qiaoqiao didn't look at Chen Xiucai, but continued to look at the moon with her neck up. "My grandma is going to the city, and there is no spare room in this house. My father wants to find another house to rent, and my mother hopes to find one nearby. However, in such a short time, it may not be so easy to find!" Lin Qiao Qiao looked a little lonely, and said in a very light tone.

"It turned out that Miss Xiaolin was worried that they would make too much noise when they came, so she was unhappy!" Chen Xiucai said.

Lin Qiaoqiao glared at Chen Xiucai, "No. An old man is like a treasure! I am unhappy because of other things."

Chen Xiucai's eyes lit up, and it was another wise remark.I know that chatting with the little girl next door will bring good luck and wealth!
"Xiaosheng misunderstood, it's Xiaosheng's fault." Chen Xiucai bowed his head and said.

In Lin Qiaoqiao's view, this simple ancient man was feeling ashamed right now.Therefore, Lin Qiaoqiao reassured the other party.

"It's okay. I'm not angry." Lin Qiaoqiao waved her hand quickly.

This little girl is so cute!I am not happy, but also worried that I will be refuted.I was still thinking about adding a few more poems or famous quotes.I really want to take a fan to cover my face.Only then did Chen Xiucai raise his head, under the moonlight, his fair face turned suspiciously red.

"Miss Xiaolin, do you want your parents to visit the room next door to Xiaosheng during the day?" Chen Xiucai said.

"Isn't there someone living there?" Lin Qiaoqiao said.

Chen Xiucai lied without blinking. "Isn't this going to be Qiu Wei? This family is going to move the whole family. It seems that they have heard that there are relatives over there. Here, their family is like Xiaosheng, unaccompanied."

"That's it. I'll wake up tomorrow and tell my parents. Good night, Master Xiucai!" Lin Qiaoqiao waved goodbye.

Chen Xiucai looked at his hands, then stretched them out of the window and waved.On the first day of July, Lin Sanfu's family of three returned to the rental house immediately after finishing work.Lin Sanfu wiped his face and handed the towel to Lin Qiaoqiao.

"I'll go and ask about the situation first. If the price is right, I'll settle it. If I don't have enough money, I'll ask the shopkeeper to borrow it. I've already told the shopkeeper."

Lin Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "I'll go and have a look too."

"Okay! I'll cook." Zhang Ying said with a smile.

The appearance is a design of two facades. From the outside, it is about the same size as Chen Xiucai's house next door.Lin Sanfu went up and knocked on the door, and the door opened after a short wait.

The host stood by the door and asked, "It's Mr. Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Qiaoqiao obediently went up to salute, then raised her head, and said in a naive tone: "Hello, uncle, our family heard from the master scholar next door. The uncle's family is going to participate in Qiu Wei, and the whole family is going to move there. I have no relatives here. We originally wanted to ask, is your house for rent? But, we are afraid that you will have trouble collecting rent in the two places in the future. Why don’t we just buy it, if the price is right.”

The hostess had a strange expression on his face.However, it was quickly covered up. "Ah!" After a pause of more than ten seconds, the tone was rather weird, as if he had just learned about it. "It's like this."

I saw an old woman coming out of the house.The old woman smiled kindly and said, "Son."

The smile on the male host's face was a little stiff, but he quickly covered it up again, that fake smile looked weird. "Hehe, please come in."

Both the father and daughter of the Lin family showed signs of struggle, one with his head down and the other with his head up.Make eye contact.

[Father, this family is a bit strange, do you want to go in! 】

【Enter.Don't be afraid, girl, you are advanced. 】

【father!What if I enter a den of thieves?Our alley has always been quiet, and there are not many living people in broad daylight. 】

【fine.Dad yelled from behind, always attracting attention.Come on, Pikachu! 】

Lin Sanfu gave Lin Qiaoqiao a trusting look, and the little girl raised her head high.He raised his leg arrogantly and stepped into the threshold.

The empty main room looks more like a four-piece shop.Maybe this deserted street used to be a commercial street.I followed the host to the yard, only to find that the yard was larger than the yard of their house.

The host said: "When our family moved here, we thought the neighbors at the back were too noisy, so we bought their house. It was directly demolished and rebuilt as a courtyard. The front courtyard is past, and behind the arch is a vegetable field and a small garden. The pond. I haven’t taken care of it in recent years, the vegetable field is overgrown with weeds, and the pond has been abandoned.”

The host took the father and daughter of the Lin family around the house.Generally speaking, this house made the Lin family father and daughter very satisfied.The ancients paid attention to courtyards, but as modern people, they have long been used to high-rise buildings.The layout design of this house is somewhat similar to that of a modern rural house, which is called an earthen villa in the dialect.

Lin Sanfu didn't dare to bargain with the other party. He is no longer the stunned young man he was when he first came to ancient times.Residents in Luochuan County don't have the habit of bargaining, as if they think it's a waste of value.For things like buying a house, unless you meet an unscrupulous seller, the quotations are generally similar, and buyers rarely bargain.Moreover, sometimes when the price is bargained, the seller will not sell it, and the seller will not sell it because he is in a bad mood.

It took 86 taels to complete the process of buying a house, adding ownership transfer, and changing household registration.Twelve taels of it were paid for drinking by the yamen's messengers.This manipulation emptied Lin Sanfu's family fortune.For things like buying a house, Lin Sanfu did not ask Zhang Ying and Lin Qiaoqiao for sponsorship fees.However, the names of both mother and daughter were written on the deed.
