Chapter 1708: Benefit the world
Liu Er looked surprised.
I bent down silently into the low house. Although it was evening, it was not completely dark.
However, his vision was still blurred in the room. Liu's mother couldn't bear to leave the candle and did not light the lamp.
This room was only the size of a palm, and it was seen at a glance that there was no ear room here. The family of three each laid wheat poles and bedding in the corner, and then pulled it up with a curtain to distinguish where they slept. There was a dining table in the middle and a long bench behind.
This is Liu Er's home.
Naturally... the only luxurious place for the Liu family was to offer a tablet in a corner. This was Liu's father's spiritual position, and incense was burned in front of the spiritual niche.
But today, the house is a little different. At this time... an old man was sitting on the long bench.
This person is also from Shandong and is of the same clan as Liu Er. When he fled the famine, more than a dozen people escaped from the village.
Mr. Liu came out with his three sons and settled here because his family is full of strength. The Liu family, whoever is in Beijing, needs to find him if he has any disputes.
Mr. Liu coughed like a bellows, and then looked up at Liu Er.
Liu's mother poured water for Mr. Liu. The girl from the Liu family was her daughter, so she hid behind the curtain.
Liu Erhan smiled and said, "Uncle San, why are you here?"
Mr. Liu had a serious expression and said, "Sit down and speak seriously, how old are you?"
"It's twenty-three." Liu Er replied honestly.
"Twenty-three, I haven't married yet. Alas... If it weren't for that disaster, if your father hadn't died, now... I'd have arranged it for you long ago."
As soon as he talked about this, Liu's mother wiped her tears aside.
Although she has lived for more than 40 years in her life, whether she was a daughter or a family member, her life is like a grass, and she has experienced many disasters. She has not known how many people around her, or she died of illness or starvation. Even in the ordinary season, the person who was still alive yesterday died of life today because of chopping firewood.
For Liu's mother, she has long been used to life and death.
When Liu's father died, he just borrowed a straw mat and buried it at will. She pulled her two children, fled the famine and settled. You can imagine how hard it was.
But whenever Liu's mother thought of her dead husband, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but look at the tablet from the corner of her eyes.
Mr. Liu angrily scolded, "It's really a woman. Life and death are dead, why are you crying?"
His voice was extremely majestic, and Liu's mother hurriedly put away her tears.
Mr. Liu kowtowed the stick in his hand and then said, "Liu Er, you are the only one in your family. You are still counting on your family to pass on your family. You can't do it without taking your wife and having children. But look at your current appearance, whose daughter is willing to marry. Liu Er, you are a person who only knows how to work. If your mother doesn't tell you about this, I'd be anxious long ago."
Liu Er felt a little angry, and he also wanted to find a wife.
He has no requirements, just be a woman.
Mr. Liu immediately said, "Do you know about Xishan New City?"
Liu Er shook his head: "Today I heard many people mention Xishan New City, but I didn't listen carefully."
"I'm not open-minded." Old Liu banged his beard and stared at him, and said angrily: "Xishan New City is selling houses now, three taels of silver is 1 meter. I have calculated that your family is less, even if you marry a wife in the future, these three bedrooms are enough. After thinking about it, it's more than ten or twenty meters, which is enough to settle down. Do you know that the price is only 20% or 30% of the new city? You know that the building is the kind of new city, but Xishan New City is even higher. I'm here today to talk about this one.
It's true, although I'm not your father, but your father has passed away. I'm a man who is old and is the master of my family. You know that he has studied and is now a master in elementary school. He is urging his family to buy it. My husband's family is more affordable, three houses, three sons, one set for each person, but you... so far, you are still an apprentice, and you have no father again. Although you know that your mother is diligent in the family and I think she has saved some money, but I don't know if it's enough..."
As he said, he took out a bag of tart cloth from his arms and uncovered it layer by layer. There were one or two yellowed treasure banknotes inside, both of which were the smallest. In addition, he untied a string of copper coins from his waist, pointed it out, and put it on the table: "This is two taels of silver and a few hundred coins, not much, I... cough cough..." He coughed for a while and said: "You should make some of it yourself, hurry up, don't delay it. Go to Xishan New City tomorrow, and start quickly. This is the grace of the Duke of Zhenguo, my big son.
He came here and said this. In this world, no one is more concerned about our people than Duke Zhenguo. The price of these three taels of silver is similar to picking up a house on the ground. People must first live in order to establish a career. Once a career is established, they can get married. This is the truth of the ancestors, and there will be no mistakes. If you take this money, I have to take care of my three children. I can only take so much. Okay, I'm leaving. Remember, I'll go tomorrow. If I delay, I'll break your legs tomorrow."
After saying that, Mr. Liu got up and left directly.
Liu Er still felt like he was muddy, and his mind was still not turning. After a long time, he came back to the curtain. A girl from the Liu family came out of the back, and rushed up, pulled Liu Er, and said crisply: "Brother, you are back, look, I have learned to sew clothes."
Liu's mother said again: "You have to listen to your third uncle. He is knowledgeable and willing to help us. You must remember this kindness in the future..."
Liu Erwei responded timidly, and ate and went to bed that day, and got up just as dawn the next day.
Since building a house was a big deal, Liu's mother was worried and wanted to follow her. Liu Er's girl had to take her family with her. She wanted to wait for the carriage to come, but she expected that there were countless people going to Xincheng today, but she refused to stop a carriage, and the carriage was full.
Liu's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Go away."
She was reluctant to give up the money for the car, but now she has fulfilled her wish.
Unexpectedly, many people traveled all the way to Xishan New City, but found that it was already crowded.
The entire Xishan New City is already a huge construction site. Within a radius of ten or even dozens of miles, there are excavated foundation gullies everywhere. The frame of the built high-rise building is very terrifying from a distance.
The girl from the Liu family felt fresh and the weather was a little cold. She was wearing a floral jacket, but it was modified from the fabric of Liu's mother's wedding. She looked cramped. Although she had braids on her head, she still looked unkempt. Perhaps the weather was cold on her face, her skin was a bit dry and her lips were even broken.
Fortunately, in Xishan New Town, countless people have long expected to buy a mansion.
So... I was too lazy to use the previous high-end sales routines to directly put the sale venue outside.
Dozens of scribes lined up, placed on tables and chairs, and a large amount of information was piled up on the table. After that... there were people from the yamen watching, and there were special accounting rooms with a table, and then they were placed next door.
All were waiting for the surging crowds.
But even so, it took a full half day. Liu Er held the girl and looked after her mother. It was his turn. He knew nothing about it. The only thing he knew was the business of Duke Zhenguo.
If another merchant made this and asked him to bring money, Liu Er would never believe it. These are his wealth and life!
But after all, it was because of Duke Zhenguo. He felt at ease. According to the rules, the clerk first took more than a dozen floor plans: "The time is limited, so the location is exempted. This is the house type. You should first look at how big it is to buy. After reading it, pay the deposit, and the transaction is halfway. You can take it slowly, pay the down payment, go to the bank to complete the procedures, and find an insured person to protect it. There is no hurry. You can do it within one month."
Liu Er only looked at the drawings, and Liu's mother also carefully brought her head over. This is a big deal and there is no mistake.
The girls in the Liu family just found it fun, look left and right.
Finally, Liu Er fell on a small apartment and clicked: "This."
This is cheap, the down payment is only seven taels.
The clerk felt strange and looked at Liu Er curiously.
Most of the people who come here to buy a house are not from money.
But because of this era, a family has a large population.
After all, there are many children, and some brothers do not separate their families. A large family needs to live together. I wish this house could accommodate a large family.
However, it is rare for this kind of small three-bedroom apartment to buy it.
Of course, customers are the first and time is limited, so there is nothing to say.
Immediately afterwards, I paid the bank, went through the procedures, and took a few strokes, and the bank was gone.
Liu Er was dizzy and wanted to ask about many things, but he was still a human being afterwards. He was squeezed aside with the receipt.
Fortunately, as soon as he finished the work, someone came again: "Have you paid the money? It's great. Hurry up, you bought a three-bedroom model house, and the three-bedroom model house is there. Let's take you to see it."
This link cannot be saved, after all, they have paid the money.
The gang waited for a few groups of people, all of whom were three-bedroom apartments before taking them out. The so-called model house was temporarily built and can be seen from a distance.
Liu Er and Liu's mother suddenly became excited.
When I arrived at the door, I was so wild that I didn't dare to go in.
Because they poked their heads and found that it was spotless.
The walls were painted with white gray, snow-white, while the floor and half of the walls were painted green.
After all, it is a building, and it is cheap, so it is impossible to lay expensive tiles.
Naturally, this cheap green paint became the main material.
Of course, this special green paint has many benefits, such as smooth, clean, and comfortable to walk on.
After looking at it carefully, I found that the tables and chairs inside were all complete.
Liu's mother was trembling and still didn't dare to go in. She looked down at her dusty black cloth shoes and said ashamed: "I only look outside, just look outside!"
