I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 16, House Problems
Get married in two years?
Simply outrageous!
That old man in this day and age doesn't want his children and grandchildren to be full?
Although the law stipulates that the age of marriage for men is [-] and women are [-], who doesn't get married at the age of [-] or [-]?

After all, there are only a small number of people who can be admitted to high school, and college students are even rarer.

Nowadays, most people study at the age of seven, five years in elementary school, three years in junior high school.

Even if you graduate from junior high school, you are only fourteen or fifteen years old, so getting married at seventeen or eighteen is the mainstream.

But Xu Lao San is 22 years old this year, and he is an old man, so he has to wait another two years?
If you wait another two years, who will marry you?
For a time, they had been criticized by Lao Xu, Zhou Hongmei and others for many years, and the old couple were very angry.

Grandpa and grandma got angry, Xu Xiaoqian and the three of them ran away in no time.

"Your dad and I raised you so big, is it easy for us? Back then."

Zhou Hongmei's eyes turned red, and she brought up the past again.

The old Xu's family did not only have four brothers and sisters for many years, but a total of ten children, and now there are only five left.

Ten years after Xu was born, there were three brothers, Hundred Years, Thousand Years and Wannian, all of whom were older than Many Years.

The descendants of Longde know exactly what year [-] was.

It was also these war years that caused a series of disasters such as famine, which took the three brothers away for a century.

They also took Xu Damei and Xu Ermei away.

For many years, the fourth sister, Xu Simmei, has also become the eldest sister of today, and Xu Wumei, who was born very late, was originally named Xu Wumei, but was changed to Xu Wumei by the staff of the street office, which sounds good and looks good.

It's a big family, only Xu Danian's three brothers and Xu Sanmei's two sisters are left.

And now the old Xu family, except for Xu Weidong, the third-generation male, is waiting for Xu Laosan to retire and go home to marry a wife and have children.

Anyway, Hu Meifeng of the old family is so lazy, there is no hope, so I can only pin my hopes on Xu Laosan.

Hearing Zhou Hongmei's words, my brain suddenly buzzed for many years.

Monkey King is most afraid of Tang Monk chanting scriptures, and he has been afraid of his own mother chanting for many years.

This is a peerless killer move, he can't catch it at all.

I had no choice but to comfort Zhou Hongmei quickly, saying that she would definitely get married as soon as possible, and at the same time shifted to the topic of the house.

The old Xu's house had a total of three rooms and lived in a total of eleven people.

If Xu Lao San wants to marry a wife, then there are twelve people, how will they live?

Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei were also worried about this matter.

Before returning from the army many years ago, they had already started looking for a house. Why is it so easy to find a house these days?
The single-family courtyard house outside is too expensive, at least one or two thousand yuan to start.

In this era, there is no such thing as a down payment of [-]%, and all transactions are made in cash.

As for the single room in a large courtyard, it also depends on the size and layout of the house, at least two to three hundred to five to six hundred.

The key is that not having money is the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is not having a house, or not having a suitable house.

Seeing that the old couple were both frowning, they quietly left the kitchen for many years.

If you don't sneak away, you will continue to be urged to marry later.

When he returned from the army, after excluding the 100 yuan he gave to his mother Zhou Hongmei, he still had a total of 80 yuan and [-] cents in his pocket, and several hundred catties of food coupons.

This is all his savings.

However, it is impossible to achieve retirement life.

In this era of retirement life, there must be 10 yuan?
What's more, he is only 21 years old now, even if he can live to be 80 years old, then he can live another 60 years.

That is after the millennium, and when the millennium really comes, let alone 10 yuan, millions will not be spent.

"Broken ball, why do you think so much?"

I patted myself on the forehead, and went out for a walk for many years.

As a result, Xu Xiaoqian and the others chased him up with a dustpan before he had walked far.

"Third Uncle, wait for us!"

With their three nieces and nephews around, he couldn't be idle until he got off work.

In the next half a month, many years have been devoted to fishing.

The old man of the machine repair shop showed up on time every day by the river outside Beijing and waited.

From Yongding River to North Canal, then to Juma River and so on.

The rivers in the suburbs have basically been cleaned for many years.

Most of the fish caught were sold to the machine repair shop.

Because of this, I have also earned nearly [-] yuan in fishing income through fishing these days for many years.

This also caused the small coffers of Xu Wumei and Xu Xiaoqian to soar a lot.

Since Qin Huairu sent back Fan Zhaodi's gown last time, she has never been to Nanluoguxiang.

On the contrary, Qin Huairu helped a lot during several fishing trips on the North Canal and Juma River.

Well, for many years, she was given 15 yuan and [-] catties of food stamps for lunch.

That's right, in the past half a month of fishing, Qin Huairu helped them solve their lunch for many years.

Otherwise, they would not be able to eat hot meals at noon.

On this point, Xu Wumei and the others were conquered by Qin Huairu.

In other words, if they could choose the third aunt and the third sister-in-law, they would definitely choose Qin Huairu.

Even for many years, I was more inclined to choose her.

Still the same sentence, except that he was born in the countryside and had no quota for commercial grain, Qin Huairu beat Liu Wanqiu.

The work side has not yet been settled. Director Wang of the Sub-district Office said that we have to continue to wait, and we are still coordinating.

For organizational arrangements, we can only wait patiently for many years.

On this day, after Lao Xu got home from get off work, he found him and said that the Li family in the middle court was moving out.

At the dinner table, everyone was surprised, what happened?
Then I listened to Lao Xu telling the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

It turned out that Lao Li from the Intermediate Court received a notice today. His eldest son has developed very well in the south, and he wants to take their family back.

And Lao Li himself is a southerner, and returning to live in the south is regarded as returning to his roots, so he is naturally overjoyed.

Since I want to leave, it is inevitable to sell the house.

It happened that Lao Xu had been looking for a house, and they were all neighbors, and everyone knew it very well.

So, today I told Lao Xu about this matter, and after discussing it, the house sold for 600 yuan.

The house of Lao Li’s family in the middle courtyard is not very good, but there are two rooms with a usable area of ​​37 square meters, which is not too small.

However, the 600 yuan fee directly silenced Xu Danian and Xu Niannian.

Because they don't have that much money.

Fan Zhaodi was so desperate, and Hu Meifeng was in the same mood.

If the two houses were taken down, it would be great for their two little families.

"Third brother, your mother and I only saved 200 yuan. Your elder brother and your second brother should have a little more. How much money do you have? Parents can't help you much."

When Lao Xu spoke, the eyes of Fan Zhaodi and Hu Meifeng stared instantly.

Old thing, actually eyeing our private money?
