Chapter 118 The Yard is in Hand
An old man couldn't sleep all night, his mind full of the prescription for that quick-acting heart-saving pill.
In the morning, Luo Dapeng brought his friend over.
"Yimin, his name is Dafei." Luo Dapeng introduced.
"Brother Zhou, you are Dapeng's brother, so I will be frank with you." Dafei said.
Zhou Yimin nodded: "Yeah! I like straightforward people."
"Houses cannot be traded casually, but they can be inherited or donated. For 950 yuan, we will go to the street office to complete the formalities. Of course, we can also go and see the house first."
Zhou Yimin took out a stack of 10-yuan bills.
"You click."
Dafei was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Yimin to be so straightforward and give the money without saying a word.
In fact, since Luo Dapeng recommended it, it must be good value for money, or even better value for money. Then, there is no need to look at anything else.
Besides, he bought the yard not to live in it himself, but mainly to store things and provide a place for people from the village to stay.
As long as the house can be lived in, then there is no problem.
In addition, we also have to consider Luo Dapeng's face.
Since you are Dapeng's friend, you should be straightforward. If you keep on talking too much, wouldn't that be an insult to Dapeng?
Dapeng smiled and said, "How about that? I told you that my brother is a straightforward person."
Da Fei raised his thumb and said, "Brother Zhou, you are fair. OK! Let's go to the street office now. I can move the things out before noon. You can come in anytime."
He counted the money in front of him.
After all, that's nearly a thousand yuan, so we can't be careless.
Zhou Yimin had no complaints about this, as it was as he should.
If it were someone else, Dafei might have counted two or three times, but since he was Dapeng's brother, and he gave him the money so readily, he didn't waste time and just counted once.
Zhou Yimin and he went to the street office to find Director Li.
Dafei didn't expect that Zhou Yimin actually had a connection with the Street Office. That would be great, and it would be more convenient, without having to worry about asking around.
Director Li really didn't ask too many questions. The procedures were completed quickly and formally. No one would be able to find any faults in the future.
"Aunt Li, I'll let people from the village move in when the time comes, is that ok?" Zhou Yimin asked.
Director Li shook his head: "It's your own house, anyone can live in it. It's better to have someone living in it, you know."
Zhou Yimin nodded. He understood. If no one lived there, it would be easy to be checked.
"understand!"
Director Li smiled again and said, "The instant noodle factory has decided to expand, recruit more people, and increase production. You are really amazing! You can even make instant noodles."
"Aunt Li, it was a coincidence."
Director Li smiled and said nothing else.
by chance?
How can there be so many coincidences?
In the final analysis, Zhou Yimin read more ancient books. It seems that there are still many useful things left by our ancestors. Zhou Yimin saw the water pressure well in ancient books, and the same is true for instant noodles.
I heard that someone has found relevant records in ancient books to verify Zhou Yimin's statement.
Now, those who are defending China's traditional civilization are almost energized.
How has traditional culture been degraded over the years? If they finally find something of value, they will definitely promote it.
At the same time, they also remembered Zhou Yimin and found valuable traditional culture again and again.
After completing the formalities, Dafei took Zhou Yimin to see the house. It was obvious that his family was really anxious to move out.
According to Dafei, his uncle works in Daqing and has arranged a job for him. As long as he goes there, he can start working immediately, and the salary and benefits are not bad.
What are you waiting for?
What's the point of staying in the old city and guarding this ancestral home?
Besides, he heard from his uncle that Daqing is currently being developed vigorously and will soon become prosperous, so it is better to go there early to grab a spot.
Zhou Yimin nodded after hearing this. He knew very well that in the next thirty or forty years, Daqing would rise at an alarming speed and would soon become a big city centered on oil production.
However, this type of resource-based city rises quickly and falls quickly. Once the resources are exhausted, the city will decline unless it can transform in time.
Zhou Yimin went to the yard and looked around. It was indeed a bit remote. However, this was exactly what Zhou Yimin wanted. If there were people coming and going, it would be inconvenient for him to do things.
"Brother Zhou, here are the keys. Of course, if you're worried, you can change all the locks in the house." Dafei handed the key to Zhou Yimin.
His family had almost packed up their things.
After all, Luo Dapeng came to tell them last night that some things had already been packed up last night.
"Yeah! OK."
"Brother Zhou, we still have these big things. Do you want them? If not, I can ask someone to come and take them away." Dafei pointed at the furniture in the house.
The whole family had to move to the northeast, and to a place as far away as Daqing. These things could not be moved away, and if Zhou Yimin didn't want them, he would call the neighbors nearby to come over.
Now, not to mention old furniture, even rotten ones can be moved back and used for firewood!
Someone must want it.
"Yes, thank you very much." Zhou Yimin nodded immediately.
He wasn't going to live there anyway, so it didn't matter if the furniture was a little old. He believed that the people who came to the village in the future would definitely not be picky.
Zhou Yimin had seen those pieces of furniture and they were probably not antiques, but just ordinary old furniture, not even made of mahogany.
He also looked in the basement.
Dafei said that it was actually a cellar in the past, where they stored cabbages and other things in the winter. Later, due to the war, the family expanded the cellar so that if soldiers came, they could hide under the cellar for shelter.
There are two exits in the basement, one inside the house and one outside.
Doing this is actually to avoid disaster.
However, these designs were exactly what Zhou Yimin wanted, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
"Dafei, are you leaving now?" Zhou Yimin couldn't help but ask when he saw them starting to move their luggage out.
"Yes! Brother Zhou, mountains and rivers bring us together. We will have the chance to meet again in the future."
In fact, this is almost a self-comforting statement.
It’s so far away, and the whole family has moved away, we will probably never come back.
"Yes, next time you come back, I'll treat you to dinner and drinks. By the way, wait for me." As he said that, Zhou Yimin also walked out and came back after walking around the area.
He was holding five bags of vacuum-packed pork jerky, each bag weighing exactly one pound.
"Dafei, take it and eat it on the way." Zhou Yimin stuffed the pork jerky over to him.
After seeing it, Da Fei was surprised and delighted: "Brother Zhou, this..."
"Okay, stop nagging! Just think of it as a farewell gift from Dapeng. Remember to come back when you have time in the future." Zhou Yimin was very satisfied with this yard, so he was more generous.
Secondly, it seemed that Dafei was about to leave without saying goodbye to Dapeng.
That's why he sent some things to Dafei on behalf of Dapeng.
Pork jerky was purchased today for 1 yuan.
