Li Quanfu was still weighing the pros and cons of the transaction in his mind, and he sent the two of them out of the hospital uneasily.

After the two of them walked more than ten meters, they suddenly remembered and quickly chased Lin Chaoyang and his son, asking: "Uncle Lin, I forgot to mention it just now, how can I contact you?"

"If anything happens, just go to the Yan University Library to find my son."

Hearing the words "Yanda Library", Li Quanfu's eyes towards Lin Chaoyang changed slightly.

"It turns out that my brother is a university teacher."

"Just a librarian."

After hearing about this position, Li Quanfu's attitude became even better, "Good job, good job!"

After leaving Mianmian Hutong, Lin Erchun asked: "Do you think he can sell it?"

"About that. A second-entry courtyard house in Xicheng only costs 6,000 yuan, and a better one costs 7,000 to 8,000 yuan.

I offered 5,000 and a half thousand, but didn’t he refuse at all?

As you just heard, he wants to deposit the money in the bank and sell it a year and a half earlier, which is still a lot of money!"

"Then what if he really doesn't want to sell it?"

"If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. There are so many courtyard houses in Yanjing, why are you afraid that you won't be able to buy a house?" Lin Chaoyang said nonchalantly.

Lin Erchun muttered: "I've been looking for it for you for half a month."

He asked again: "Do you really plan to buy a house without saving regularly? Saving one hundred yuan a year is seven yuan, one thousand yuan is seventy yuan, and ten thousand yuan is seven hundred yuan. Do you really want to?"

With 10,000 yuan, I don’t have to work anymore.”

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "If our country maintains the current level of economic development and inflation, this is indeed the case in theory. But don't forget, we are now undergoing reform and opening up."

"What do you mean?" Although Lin Erchun was clever and calculating, his education level was low and he couldn't understand the subtext of Lin Chaoyang's words.

"It's nothing. Ideas like Li Quanfu's won't work in a few years. You just need to know this."

Lin Erchun looked at his confident and determined expression and couldn't help but cursed, "I'm still playing around with your father!"

Two days later, when Lin Chaoyang was working in the library, Li Quanfu came over.

As expected, after two days of consideration, Li Quanfu decided to accept his offer.

The next day, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu took time to go to the housing management office to go through the procedures, but during the process, Li Quanfu suddenly made a condition.

He thought that after the house transaction was completed, his family would have to live there for a year or two and then move out when the unit allocated the house. During this period, the rent could be paid to Lin Chaoyang as usual.

"My family is used to living here, and I am not used to renting another house. Don't worry, we will definitely pay you exactly the rent."

Lin Chaoyang shook his head and firmly refused: "I'm afraid this won't work."

The house transaction was completed, but the owner still lived here. It was easy to tell what was under the melons and plums, and the longer it took, the easier it would be to cause disputes, so Lin Chaoyang categorically rejected Li Quanfu and only said he would give him a month to find a house.

Seeing Lin Chaoyang's resolute attitude, Li Quanfu couldn't hold on any longer.

The trouble of renting a house is trouble, but after all, the money is obtained.

When he thought that 5,000 yuan would earn him nearly 400 yuan in interest a year, which was almost catching up with his salary, Li Quanfu felt very excited.

With all this money, renting a house is nothing!

After spending two days going through the formalities of the courtyard house in Mianmian Hutong, Tao Yushu was still in a daze.

"Are we going to buy another house now?"

"What's wrong? Do you regret it?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Tao Yushu looked at him, "No. I just can't believe it. How long has it been? How come we have two houses?"

For thousands of years, land and houses have been deeply ingrained in the hearts of Chinese people.

When you have a house, you have a home, and when you have land, you have a place to thrive.

Her tone was questioning, but her eyes were firm. She looked at Lin Chaoyang with sparkling eyes, knowing that this was all inseparable from her husband's efforts.

"Life will get better and better in the future." Lin Chaoyang hugged her and said.

Tao Yushu nodded, his face full of happiness and sweetness.

After returning home, Lin Chaoyang took pictures of the procedures for the courtyard house in Mianmian Hutong in front of Lin Erchun and his wife.

"The next task for you two is to supervise the move of Li Quanfu's family. After they move out, the house will have to be tidied up."

"I've already found a house for you, so why do we have anything to do with you? Why don't we clean up a house at this time of year? Spring isn't here yet?"

"Then let's clean up in spring!"

"How can I have time to clean up your house in the spring? The land at home is no longer in use?"

"This house was bought for you. If you don't live in it, wouldn't it be abandoned? Do you want the land to be abandoned? Or the house to be abandoned?"

Lin Chaoyang saw this moment, sitting firmly on the sofa, and tortured the souls of the old couple.

Lin Erchun jumped up from the sofa in shock, "Why buy it for us? We still have to go back to our hometown."

"It's not like I won't let you go back to my hometown. You can go back and stay there for a few days a year. I think it's a good time to go back in the summer, so I'll treat it as a summer vacation." Lin Chaoyang made clear arrangements for the old couple.

Zhang Guiqin said: "That won't work. There are so many things at home, how can I stay here."

"That's right, the team can't live without me."

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but remind: "Dad, the fields have been divided into households."

"What's wrong with dividing fields into households? There must be someone to take care of dividing fields into households, right?"

His son's words stung Lin Erchun and made him very dissatisfied. He had been a production captain all his life. If the production team disappeared, he would not be able to adapt to the gap.

"Let me remind you, I spent 5,500 yuan to buy this house. I left it unoccupied for a year, two years, and three years. Finally, the house fell apart and our money

But it was all in vain.”

Lin Chaoyang's words were heart-wrenching and accurately captured Comrade Lin Erchun's calculating personality.

This is 5,500 yuan. Lin Erchun has never made so much money in his entire life!

On one side was the property he had saved for half his life in his hometown, and on the other side was the house his son bought at a huge price. Comrade Erchun fell into an unprecedented entanglement.

Only then did he understand the trap Lin Chaoyang had set for him, and cursed: "You little brat! You are sincerely giving me problems, aren't you?"

"How can this be called a problem? Isn't this also to let you two elders go to the city and enjoy happiness?" Lin Chaoyang argued.

"Chaoyang, your father and I know that you want to be filial to us. But we have spent our whole lives in the countryside, how can we get used to it when we come to Yanjing?

You can live here for just a few days a year, so why bother buying a house?"

Zhang Guiqin and Lin Erchun have the same idea.

Seeing that the two of them were unanimously opposed to staying in Yanjing, Lin Chaoyang had no choice but to use his special move.

"You two don't want to be without your grandson in the future, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, the parents who had just argued plausibly and rebutted in unison instantly became silent.

Zhang Guiqin's eyes circled around Tao Yushu's belly and asked expectantly: "Is Yushu pregnant?"

"Are you pregnant?" Lin Erchun was also led astray by her and couldn't help but ask, his eyes full of expectation.

Tao Yushu looked shy when her father-in-law and mother-in-law looked at her, so she touched Lin Chaoyang lightly.

"That's not the case!" Lin Chaoyang denied.

Upon hearing this, the light of hope in the eyes of the parents was shattered, and instead they felt angry and angry at having been fooled.

"You're talking nonsense about not being pregnant!" Lin Erchun scolded.

Then he immediately realized that what he said was inappropriate, and said to Tao Yushu apologetically: "Yushu, dad didn't mean that you are just this bastard..."

Lin Erchun's facial expression changes as fast as Sichuan Opera's face changing.

Tao Yushu had a bright smile on his face and persuaded: "Dad, Chaoyang also wants to fulfill his filial piety to you and your two elders."

The well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law still had to give some face when she spoke. Lin Erchun restrained his scolding and said: "What other ideas do you have? Let's talk about it together so that you don't have to plot against me every day?"

"How can this be called a calculation..." Lin Chaoyang saw his old father looking at him sideways, so he had to change his tone and said: "The house is indeed bought for you two to live in. You two will get older and older in the future.

The medical conditions here in Yanjing are better than those in my hometown. As I said just now, if you are willing to go back, you can go back and stay for a few months a year."

Lin Chaoyang's attitude is clear, that is, he hopes that the couple can stay in Yanjing for retirement.

When their son and his daughter-in-law came to Yanjing, they never expected that they would enjoy their son's happiness so soon.

At this point, Lin Erchun and his wife couldn't seem to find any reason to refuse, but they had been staying in their hometown for half their lives, so it didn't mean they could just give up.

"Your mother and I have to go back in the spring. It's worth tens of thousands of dollars to break the family. No matter how bad it is, we'll just leave it alone. We'll come back when everything is fine in the autumn."

"Then you go back next year and make clear arrangements for your family. Don't keep chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs. If the land is divided, rent it to others privately. I'll keep the house and let others help take care of it. You two will have a place to live when you go back.

.”

Seeing that Lin Chaoyang had clearly arranged the arrangements for them, Lin Erchun and Zhang Guiqin stopped saying anything and agreed first. After all, after returning to their hometown, the sky is high and the birds can fly.

The future plans of Lin Erchun and his wife have been finalized for the time being. The formalities for the courtyard house in Mianmian Hutong have been completed, but Li Quanfu and his family have not moved out yet.

Next, the key task for Lin Erchun and his wife is to send their family away and then inspect the courtyard to see what areas need to be repaired.
