Chapter 75 The House
Liang Shouzheng saw that it was almost noon and asked his wife Li Shuzhen to cook. Everyone sat in the room and talked.
Liang Shouzheng said to Du Lianqiao: "Brother Du, thank you for your hard work along the way."
Du Lianqiao quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. With Yuhan taking us along the way, we didn't suffer much. Now that we're here, we'll cause trouble for my brother."
Liang Shouzheng said: "Our family will not speak two families. You are Yuhan's relatives, we are our relatives. If you have any problems in the future, just speak.
I have prepared the house for you, not far from my house.
This house belongs to one of my clan uncles. His children were gone in the war. After he passed away the previous year, the house returned to the village. There were few people in our village and there was no shortage of houses to live in, so the house was always empty and no one lived in.
You will live there for you when you come. I have found someone to clean up for you. We will go and have a look after dinner later. If you want to build a new house, I will give you a new foundation."
Although Du Lianqiao has some money now, they still have to buy food and some daily necessities. Where can I have the ability to build a new house? It is already very good to have ready-made houses for them to live in.
Du Lianqiao and Wang Yuqiao thanked Liang Shouzheng again and again.
After lunch, we went to see the house together.
The house is located at the westernmost end of the village, not far from the river, and there are three adobe houses.
Although it looks a bit old outside, there is no problem with living. The house has a large yard, and there is also a warehouse and a firewood shed in the yard.
There are no one around the house, and the nearest one is Liang Shouzheng's family.
There are bedrooms on both sides of the three main rooms and a main hall in the middle. There are two earth stoves connected to the large kang and fire wall of the two houses.
Although this place is not at the northernmost point, it is also very cold in winter. With a fire wall, it will be much warmer in winter.
Although it is a dou house, the house is clean and the walls are covered with newspapers and will not lose soil. Although there are no quilts on the large kang, they are also covered with clean kang mats. There are kang cabinets on the kang.
There is also a kang table on the kang in the east room, with two horizontal cabinets, a square table and several stools on the ground.
Overall, the house is really good, much better than the house where the Du family lived in Xikou Village.
Du Lianqiao looked at the clean and tidy house and was well-equipped and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Brother Lao Liang. This house is so good. We have never lived in such a good house. This is really trouble for you."
Liang Shouzheng said: "These furniture is left by my uncle. I originally wanted to give it to me. My family doesn't lack these, so they are still here. If you don't dislike it, leave it for you."
Du Lianqiao quickly said, "I don't dislike it, these are all good furniture. To be honest, I used to have only one table at home and nothing else. This is much better than my previous home."
Wang Yuqiao was very happy to see the house better than her previous home. At this point, the nervous moods that left her hometown calmed down after seeing such a good house.
The three Du Haifeng and the other two were also very happy. No one from the Du family’s old house would bully them again. They could live in such a good house. The already sensible Du Haifeng and Du Haichao both grinned and laughed.
Du Yuhan was very happy after seeing the house and said, "Uncle Liang, you really have troubled you. We can't just ask for this house for nothing. You think it's worth it."
Liang Shouzheng was unhappy when he heard Du Yuhan's words, and glared and said, "You want to give money, isn't this slap your Uncle Liang in the face?"
He Zhendong also looked at his younger sister, wondering why her younger sister said such disappointing words at this time.
Du Yuhan quickly explained: "Uncle Liang, listen to me. Although we came to join us in the name of your relatives, this is just an external statement. Your relatives must know the real situation.
Moreover, this house belongs to the village. If you live there for free, the villagers will inevitably have opinions. This is not good for your work. We cannot lose the big picture because of small things. This is enough to bother you, so how can we make you feel very annoyed."
As soon as Du Yuhan's words came out, Liang Shouzheng thought of his relatives.
Liang Shouzheng's eldest son is in the army, and his second son is also... he works outside and will definitely not come home to live if he gets married in the future.
Both the daughter and the younger son are still in school. Even if the younger son gets married in the future, he will definitely live with the older couple, so their family doesn't need this house.
But some families with sons still think about such a house that is so useless.
Of course, some people were not happy to give the house for no reason.
If the Du family paid for the money to buy this house, others would not be able to say anything. After all, they would definitely not want to ask them to pay for such an old house.
What kind of eyesight does Du Yuhan have? She knew that she was right when she saw Liang Shouzheng's reaction.
Du Yuhan said, "I don't give this house much to the village, I just give it 100 yuan. Even the house is covered with furniture. Don't think it's too small. In this way, everyone can't say anything. I'll also cause you less trouble."
Du Yuhan knew in her heart that an old house in such a remote mountain village was not worth a hundred yuan at all. But she would rather give more money than owe too much favors. This favor is not easy to repay, and it is a little bit less to owe.
When He Zhendong heard what his younger sister said, he advised: "Uncle Liang, this house is not yours after all, so it is natural to collect money. Uncle Du and the others live in peace."
When Du Lianqiao heard this, he quickly expressed his opinion: "Yuhan's words are reasonable, so you can't make things difficult for Brother Liang. It is natural for us to live in a house to pay for money."
Liang Shouzheng finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm going to charge the money in the village, but one hundred yuan is too much, just give it thirty. After all, it's old houses and old furniture. The houses in the village are not worth much.
I will ask the accountant to collect money and write a receipt for you and then record the house in your name, Brother Du. And your household registration, I will go to the village to submit it to you tomorrow, so that you will be the veritable Laohewan Villagers."
Du Yuhan wanted to persuade him again, and He Zhendong said first: "Just follow what Uncle Liang said."
The relationship between Liang Shouzheng and the He family was there, and it would not be good if they were too dissatisfied, so He Zhendong also agreed to this approach.
Du Yuhan didn't say anything about asking her foster mother to take her younger brothers to pack up her things. She took her foster father to pay the money to go through the procedures, and gave Liang Shouzheng the procedures to Liang Shouzheng. When she turned around, Liang Shouzheng went to go through the procedures for settling down.
When he went to the brigade to complete the procedures, He Zhendong drove Liang Shouzheng to the village to settle the Du family. Du Yuhan said that he would buy some things and follow the car to go to the town and ask his adoptive father to pack up his things first when he got home.
