Reborn in the red age

Chapter 115: Buying a house and buying a grandpa?
"Qingfeng, Grandpa Wu and his wife were here just now. I can't tell you, why don't you think about buying a house? This is 3000 yuan, not 30 yuan."

After walking out of Wu's courtyard, Hu Xuelia couldn't help but talk about what happened in the courtyard just now.

Li Qingfeng was not surprised by Hu Xuelia's reaction. This was a normal reaction for people of this era. In their view, spending so much money to buy a house was something they couldn't understand.

No one had the foresight to think that the country would stop allocating welfare housing in the future, and that housing prices, which have not changed for decades, would skyrocket after the reform and opening up.

Patting Hu Xuelia's shoulder, Li Qingfeng smiled and shook his head: "Having a house is better than not having a house. It's always good to be prepared in advance."

"That's not the truth. Although we will all be allocated after graduation, we may not be able to stay in Sijiu City. Didn't you listen to Grandpa Wu? As long as this house is vacant, the neighborhood committee will rent it out."

"What's the point? The old couple's son is not around. You ask the neighborhood committee to rent out my house. If they dare to rent it out, I dare to remove the roof and use the beams to keep the fire. As long as the neighborhood committee is willing to open the house in the open air, If you spend money to repair it and then rent it out, then I’ll accept it.”

Nowadays, knocking down a house and rebuilding it does require the approval of the neighborhood committee, but repairing the house does not. Just say that the roof is leaking and needs to be repaired. This is reasonable and reasonable, and the neighborhood committee cannot fault it.

If he hadn’t stayed in Sijiucheng after graduation, the neighborhood committee would have done what Mr. Wu said. The worst they could do was tear down the roof. It would depend on whether the neighborhood committee was willing to spend money on repairs. If the neighborhood committee was really willing to spend money on repairs, it wouldn’t be that bad. There are so many dilapidated houses that no one lives in.

Even if the neighborhood committee really repairs it and rents it out, it doesn't matter. As long as the land is in your hands and you don't care who lives in it, this place is going to be demolished anyway.

Hu Xuelia glanced at Qingfeng Li speechlessly, without saying much, and took Qingfeng Li to his home. The two homes were not far away, and it only took about ten minutes to walk.

I heard that there was an old woman in the Hu family who was not working. Li Qingfeng did not go in directly. Instead, he bought two pieces of fruit at the intersection. It was not good to be empty-handed when visiting the house for the first time.

The place where the Hu family lives is also a large courtyard. It is a three-story house with many people living in it. There are also many privately built small houses. I followed Hu Xuelia around and then walked around to the Hu family in the backyard. .

I met the old man from the Hu family and briefly chatted with Hu's mother. After agreeing to stay for dinner at noon, Qingfeng Li made an excuse to go out to get money.

Hu Xuelia was a little worried about Li Qingfeng withdrawing such a large amount of money alone, so he proposed to go with it together.

How could Qingfeng Li agree? He didn't have a passbook in the bank. If they went together, wouldn't it be exposed?

I rode my bicycle aimlessly around Sijiu City. When I felt that the time was almost up, I took out three large bundles worth ten yuan from the space and put them in my satchel, then got on my bicycle and rushed to Hu's house.

He found the Hu's house according to his memory. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he saw old man Wu sitting in the main room talking with Hu's father. Li Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. It was less than two hours ago. Could it be that the old man had done it so quickly?
"Comrade Li, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you here for a long time." When old man Li Qingfeng came back, Wu quickly took something out of his bag.

Nodding to his parents, Li Qingfeng then picked up what Old Man Wu showed him. It was a transfer consent form issued by the street office. Four names had been signed on it, and they should be Old Man Wu's neighbors.

These days, for new residents to move in, not only the original owner but also the neighbors must agree before they can move in. If even one neighbor disagrees, Mr. Wu's house won't be sold even if he wants to.

Looking at the words "grandfather and grandson" written in the relationship column on the transfer book, Qingfeng Li's head was full of black lines. This old guy was taking advantage of him. How could he buy a house and get a grandfather.

Old man Wu kept looking at Qingfeng Li's face, and when he saw Qingfeng Li's dark face, he smiled awkwardly: "Comrade Li, don't mind, the house is not allowed to be sold now, only blood relatives can give it away, I said I Before liberation, I had a divorced daughter-in-law and a son. Now that my grandson has come to find me, the sub-district office only allowed me to transfer the ownership. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to transfer the ownership at all.”

At this point, what could Qingfeng Li say? He could only nod in agreement with a dark face. He endured this old guy taking advantage of him, took out three large bundles from his satchel and put them on the table with a sullen look on his face. He took out ten pieces of dough from it. After Zhang, let this old thing click.

The old man spat on his thumb happily and started counting them one by one.

"That's enough, Comrade Li. Let's go through the transfer process now, shall we?"

As the old man said this, he was about to stuff the money into his bag, but Qingfeng Li held him down. In the old man's confused eyes, Qingfeng Li said calmly: "Uncle Wu, you can't do it now. You can't pay until the transfer is completed." Take it away, let's create a document, let Aunt Hu be the witness, and put the money with Aunt Wu first. After we finish the transfer, you can come and withdraw the money."

"Yes, yes, it should be like this, it should be like this, then hurry up, I have a train ticket for tomorrow, and I have a lot of things to do in the afternoon." Uncle Wu still trusted the old neighbor of the Hu family, and nodded repeatedly to urge him to stand up. receipt.

Aunt Hu, who had been watching from the side, heard the afternoon train and asked curiously: "Uncle Wu, you have sold the house and are leaving tomorrow?" "Yes, my eldest grandson is about to give birth. Your aunt and I are in a hurry to attend to the confinement. We have sent you telegrams several times. Isn’t it because the house has not been taken care of? Otherwise, I would have gone." The old man said to Aunt Hu with a proud look on his face.

I glanced at Old Man Wu and said, "Good guy, I am only 60 years old this year and four generations live under the same roof. What a blessing."

This is not uncommon these days. People got married early before liberation, and many of them got married at fifteen or sixteen. This should be the same for this person.

After setting up the documents, Li Qingfeng and Mr. Wu successfully completed the transfer procedures at the street office. They walked out of the street office and took a thin "Land and Property Ownership Certificate". Li Qingfeng couldn't help but giggle at the certificate. He was now He can be regarded as someone who owns a house in Sijiu City.

After making an appointment with Old Man Wu to hand over the house in the afternoon, Qingfeng Li accompanied Old Man Wu to Hu's house to get money. On the way back, Qingfeng Li packed two hard dishes at a state-owned restaurant. Only then did he receive Old Man Wu's urging. , continue riding to Hu’s house.

After lunch at Hu's house, Li Qingfeng thought for a while. He couldn't let Hu Jiabao know that he bought this house yet. The source of the money was hard to explain. He couldn't tell Hu Jiabao that he was speculating, right?

With that girl Hu Jiabao's courage, if she knew that she was speculating, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night because of the worry.

After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to find an opportunity to tell the truth. This thing can be deceived for a while, but the secret will definitely be exposed as time goes by. Can Hu Jiabao still report him?
After Old Man Wu finished moving in the afternoon, Li Qingfeng went to make the handover with him, and by the way, he got to know the neighbors again and became familiar with them.

Old man Wu also has a daughter in Sijiu City. Tonight, the old couple will stay at her daughter's house. Qingfeng Li didn't leave any furniture or anything else. He took what his daughter wanted to his daughter's house and sold the rest that was worth some money. When they arrived at the trust store, the trust store gave away the goods to the neighbors without taking them, leaving Qingfeng Li with only an empty courtyard.

That is to say, the pomegranate tree cannot be shoveled away, otherwise the old man Wu might be able to shovel the pomegranate tree away.

While there was still time in the afternoon, Li Qingfeng went straight to the trust store and bought a lot of antique furniture for the boss who was waiting at the door to deliver it. Antique furniture is easy to find now. There are a lot of trust stores. After the reform and opening up, , this thing is not easy to find. There will be a group of smart people, taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese people have no awareness of this aspect, and will bring the antiques to Hong Kong by boat.

That is to say, Qingfeng Li has no time and no opportunity. Otherwise, if he robs their business, even an antique will not be able to leave Sijiu City.

After instructing the boss to arrange the furniture and checking that the time on his watch was about the same, Li Qingfeng locked the door, picked up Hu Xuelia on his bicycle, and the two went straight to school.

On the way, Li Qingfeng asked Hu Xuelia, hoping that the other party would not tell anyone about his purchase of a house. If other people knew that he had bought a house, it would be a bit too hot.

Hu Xuelia knew clearly about Qingfeng Li's worries, and immediately patted his chest in the back seat of the car to reassure Qingfeng Li that he would never tell anyone about this.

Li Qingfeng was still relieved by Hu Xuelia's guarantee. He was an honest person. If he was dishonest, Li Qingfeng would not ask him about the house.

When we returned to school, we invited Hu Xuelia to have a meal in the cafeteria before returning to the dormitory together.

As soon as he arrived at his dormitory, he saw Hao Aiguo and the other four coming back early, sitting on their beds with sad faces. Seeing the four of them like this, Li Qingfeng asked curiously: "Hey, what's going on, you four?" Why do you have this expression?"

"Oh, forget it, we can't do the maintenance work anymore," Zhang Dayong glanced at Qingfeng Li and said dejectedly.

Hearing this, Qingfeng Li nodded clearly, knowing that they would not be able to do this for long. Who would have thought that someone would come to the door after only three times out.

After one person smoked a cigarette, Li Qingfeng moved a bench and sat in front of Hao Aiguo, and asked in detail: "Tell me, what is the situation?"

"Alas, as I said before, the price is too low and has cut off other people's financial opportunities. A large group of people came to threaten me. The other party is a group of educated youth who have returned to the city. If we hadn't revealed our status as college students, we would have been indispensable today. Let's start a fight." Hao Aiguo sighed, sat up from the bed, and briefly explained the situation.

Seeing Hao Aiguo with a sad face, Li Qingfeng didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only give a few simple words of comfort.

Qingfeng Li could tell that these people in the dormitory were not suitable for business, so they should just engage in scientific research honestly.
