This old house covers an area of ​​about 700 to 800 bungalows, which is a standard old courtyard building.

The gate is open in the southeast corner. The outside of the downward house is overgrown with weeds, and the outer walls are covered with blue brick structures, some of which are mottled but are completely preserved.

A civil servant in the county led the way. The house was almost used as a government office at the beginning. Later, because the renovation cost a lot of money, the county was worried that it would be too wasteful, so it still stayed in the original Xiangyang Village Committee. A few years ago, the city leaders came to inspect and saw the situation here. After returning, they allocated a sum of funds to Xiangyang Town and rebuilt a five-story office building on the original foundation. It is also the only high-rise building in Xiangyang Town today.

However, the property certificate of this house is still in the hands of the county government, so it is very safe to buy it.

The reason why I haven't sold it in recent years is very simple. Ordinary people can't afford it, and rich people are basically unwilling to stay in the town. Anyone with some money in their hands will go to the city or even buy a house in the provincial capital to settle down.

This civil servant is a young man in his thirties, his surname is Wei. It seems that he knows Zhang Weimin, so he calls him Xiaowei.

Opening the rusty door, Xiaowei led the four of them in. There were stone slabs under his feet. Weeds emerged from the cracks of the stone slabs, and some of them had cracked.

"This place needs to be renovated then." Song Xingchen stepped on his feet, maybe he could just use a marble slab.

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "This house has been built for more than a hundred years. The first owner was a merchant from the late feudal period, a southerner. His wife's family was from Xiangyang Town. At that time, the south was also very chaotic. They moved here at home and built this courtyard."

Bypassing the screen wall, passing through the second gate, we come to the second courtyard area. This is the largest place in the entire house. The courtyard here is about 200 square meters, but it is also the most abandoned place. It can be said that weeds are overgrown with almost no place to get off the feet. You can already see the dilapidated look in the left and right wing rooms. On the opposite side are four main rooms, two main rooms are main halls, and on both sides are side halls, and on both sides are left and right ear rooms with slightly smaller area.

Five people walked around the yard along the corridor and came to the third courtyard behind. Here is a two-story back room. In ancient times, wives and family members lived in the back room. The back room was nine rooms on each upper and lower, and each three were an independent residence. On the east and west sides of the first floor were doors and doors to the back garden. On the two sides of the second floor were made into two utility rooms or tea rooms.

The garden behind is less than 200 square meters, and it is now in ruins and there is no trace of the original one.

Xiao Wei raised his hand and pointed at a corner and smiled, "There is a well over there. Don't worry about the water in the well being bad. The manhole cover sealed on it can be moved away later."

He raised his hand and patted the wooden post next to him, "The wood here is made of good wood. Over the years, only the surface is a little rough, but it has not corroded and has no insect pest. Then he re-sanded the sealing layer, just like the new one."

Song Xingchen looked down at Linyuan, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Song Linyuan looked at his aunt blankly, why did he ask him? He is still a child, but he can't make a decision.

"Of course, you will have to live here often in the future." Song Xingchen knocked on his head, "It looks broken now, and if you redecorate it later, it will definitely look good."

"Then buy it." Song Linyuan saw that his aunt seemed to be very satisfied with the place, so he naturally had no objection.

Song Xingchen smiled, "Brother Wei, then we'll have it, right? Is it 58,000?"

"Yes." Xiaowei nodded, "This price is pretty good. The house is here, and it is made of good wood."

The group then followed Xiaowei and came to the county housing management bureau, where they transferred the house and left it under Song Xingchen's name.

As for Song Linyuan, he would buy him a house wherever he got into college in the future, and then he would go to his name.

As for Xiangyang Town, when Song Linyuan goes outside to develop in the future, he thinks he will not come to settle down in his hometown.

The transfer procedures are not troublesome now, and it took Xiaowei to take less than two hours.

After working hard for most of the day, Song Xingchen invited them to a state-owned hotel for a meal, and then they all parted.

When he returned to the Zhang family, Zhou Qiuju sat on the sofa to rest, "Oh, it seems that it will cost a lot of money to clean up the house, and it is no wonder that no one bought it before. Even if the money for buying a house is enough, the money to clean up will have to tremble."

"There are many rooms, so my uncle and aunt can live in it in the future." Song Xingchen didn't care about this. She still had a lot of money now.

Now that the house is decorated, it will be at most 30,000 or 20,000 yuan, and it will be better if it is decorated in a good way.

"I will draw decoration pictures in the next few days. I wonder if you know the decoration team, uncle? It is best to find those who are good at craftsmanship."

Zhang Weimin frowned, "I really have no way to do this. When I go back to the factory to help you ask, I will ask your brother for your inquiries."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

After staying here for a few days, my aunt and nephew took advantage of the afternoon bus to return to Xiahe Village. After getting off the bus, they did not rush home. They went to Aunt Xinghua's house first and brought her some snacks and fruits.

She has helped take care of the family these days, so she must thank her.

When she came over, Aunt Xinghua was chatting with her neighbors under the big locust tree at her doorstep. When she saw them, she said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "You two have gone abroad, so many geniuses have returned?"

He handed her the things he brought, and Song Xingchen smiled and said, "I went to live in the county town for a few days. I helped harvest wheat some time ago, so we must be ignorant."

Aunt Xinghua led the two into the house and asked them to go to the kang to sit down. The windows in front and back were open, and the wind blew through the hall, making them feel cool all over.

"Come here, what are you bringing?" Seeing that the two of you brought a lot of food, Aunt Xinghua complained, and felt as if she had eaten honey, and she felt sweet. "Auntie, I underestimated you two growing up, like your biological ones, and you won't be so happy in the future."

"Even if it's your biological son, the three brothers will not bring anything when they go home? Besides, it's not worth it. I made some money by selling a pot of flowers. Don't be polite to us." Song Xingchen stopped her long hair, "When will the uncle and the others come back? I bought a house in the county town. When the decoration is completed, don't forget to go over and have dinner."

When Aunt Xinghua heard this, she was immediately happy, "Oh, okay, you girl, have you bought a house in the county? Before, my aunt thought that when her family had money, she would go to the county town to buy a house. This would be just right, and we will be close in the future."

"Grandma, when will you go buy it?" Song Linyuan pinched Huang Xing softly, bite a small mouthful, and took a strong breath.

"I'll buy it at the end of the year. Next year, your elder brother gets married. Taking advantage of the fact that your family is rich and the house in the county is not expensive, you can buy a larger one and live with your elder brother and sister-in-law in the future."
