"Comrade Lu, this yard was bought by my ancestors. We have always maintained it very well and repaired it almost every year. We were lucky enough not to experience that movement, so our family has always lived in the house."
"You can take a look around and tour around, and you will know how rare my house is."
"If it weren't for going abroad, we wouldn't have sold this house."
The landlord of this house was named Chen. He received Lu Jiaoer and Director Huang, and while showing them around his house, he introduced them with great reluctance.
Comrade Chen had a look of reluctance and sadness on his face. If he hadn't wanted to go abroad for many reasons, he might never have come back.
Firstly, he was worried that his family would go out and not want to come back. Secondly, he was worried that after they went out, no one would be watching the house, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep it, let alone what would happen in the future.
After much thought, I decided that I might as well sell the yard for a hundred dollars, so that I could at least get some money and live a better life after going abroad.
This house is indeed very well preserved. In fact, it is said to be a two-bedroom house, but it can only be said to be the smallest two-bedroom courtyard house in size. The owner's family has more than 20 people, and they live in a full house, so some of the rooms have not been taken out for outsiders to live in before.
Moreover, the homeowner probably had some connections to secure this courtyard house.
Lu Jiaoer looked at the entire courtyard carefully. Although there were many people living there, this family was quite fond of cleanliness. They kept everything neatly and cleanly. It can be seen that the family living here cherished this place very much. house.
"Comrade Chen, your house is very good, but can the price be lower?!"
Since she liked it and was interested in it, Lu Jiaoer didn't want to talk nonsense and went straight to the point where she wanted to bargain for a lower price.
Anyway, it's impossible not to bargain. It's better to get a little less. After all, it's not easy for her to make money now.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, originally I wanted to sell it for 19,000, but later I told Director Huang that it was 18,000. She also asked me to sell it for less. The last price I quoted was 17,000. This price is really unacceptable. Nothing less.”
Comrade Chen also saw that the young girl in front of him was very excited about his courtyard house, so he felt that this response should be interesting, right? ! He also wanted to sell the house very much. After all, it was not long before they left the country.
However, he still doesn't want to lower the price.
"Comrade Chen, I know what you mean and think, but few people can afford this price. If everyone can get it by scraping together everything, someone will buy it if you sell it for 25,000. Isn't it because everyone My salary and savings are small, and anyone who can save five or six thousand is very impressive, let alone tens of thousands in savings."
"To tell you the truth, my wife and I don't have enough savings. If I really buy your house, I plan to ask my wife to find leaders and comrades to get it together."
Lu Jiaoer also told the truth. In a few years, even if you don't have 50,000 yuan, you may not be able to buy this house.
Not to mention decades later, it will be worth at least hundreds of millions. However, I am afraid that the Chen family cannot wait any longer. After all, none of them know the future direction, so they feel that it is safe to get the money.
Comrade Chen naturally recognized the truth that Lu Jiaoer said. He also heard that she asked her lover to find someone to borrow money. Looking at Director Huang who was accompanying him, he suddenly felt that she might have something to do with her.
"Is Comrade Lu's lover from the army?!"
"yes."
"I admire them so much. They are amiable and respectable people who have been devoting their youth and lives for the country and the people."
"Isn't it? Lao Chen, you don't know that Xiao Lu's lover's family are all soldiers. Xiao Lu herself is also very good. She is now a top student in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Last time, that thing in the alley was stuffed into her throat and she almost died. You also know about the child, it was Xiao Lu who saved him. Xiao Lu not only saved the person, but also taught everyone this first aid knowledge. I remember that you also learned it from Xiao Li from our street office."
"It turns out that you are the legendary Xiao Lu. I'm sorry, I wouldn't have known about it without Director Huang's introduction. Comrade Lu, I also learned that you are really a good person."
Comrade Chen was curious about the identity of Lu Jiaoer's lover, so he took the initiative to ask. However, he didn't dare to inquire more, so he only asked one question.
In the end, it was okay that he didn't ask. When he asked, Director Huang beside him seemed to be opened up to chat, and he excitedly introduced Lu Jiaoer's identity as a medical student.
Sure enough, Comrade Chen had also heard of Lu Jiaoer's name, but he had never seen her.
No, after hearing about it, I immediately became full of respect and good impression of Lu Jiaoer.
Lu Jiaoer waved her hands in embarrassment. She couldn't afford such a reputation. She is not a very good person, at most she is a good person in some aspects.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, the base price I gave Director Huang is 17,000 yuan. Since it's you who wants it, I can make it cheaper by 500 yuan. This is already my biggest concession."
can not be less anymore.
The five hundred yuan less was purely out of respect for Lu Jiaoer and her lover. He would not have lost a penny if it were any other person's money.
Director Huang and Comrade Chen looked at Lu Jiaoer together, wondering whether she agreed with the price.
"Sixteen thousand five hundred yuan, okay. At this price, I will buy this house."
Lu Jiaoer didn't hesitate. She had already thought of a good idea, and she didn't want to miss such a good house.
As soon as she finished speaking, Comrade Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Director Huang next to him was very happy to have reached this deal for both parties. After all, she would also benefit.
Now that the price has been negotiated, Lu Jiaoer, Director Huang, and Comrade Chen went to the street office together. Under the notarized official seal of Director Huang and others from the subdistrict office, the two parties signed the sales contract. Then Lu Jiaoer paid a deposit of 4,000 yuan and agreed to pay the remaining payment in half a month.
"Comrade Chen, I have something to tell you. I just saw a patient at your home."
After bidding farewell to Director Huang at the gate of the sub-district office, Lu Jiaoer and Comrade Chen walked away together. They happened to be traveling on the same road for a short distance.
Now that Director Huang was no longer around, Lu Jiaoer said what she had always wanted to say.
"Yes, that's my younger brother. He has been ill for almost five years. I have seen many doctors and they all said that the medical conditions in our country cannot be cured at all now. I heard that this disease can be cured abroad, so we went abroad. A small part of the reason is also because of my brother's illness."
Comrade Chen now knew that Lu Jiaoer was a medical student. It was normal for her to see that, and it was not surprising that she was sensitive in this regard, so he did not hide it from her.
"Have you gone to all the great doctors?!"
Lu Jiaoer didn't know if the Chen family had the strength to seek treatment from those powerful doctors in China, so she asked this question again.
"We've looked for it, who's to say we haven't looked for it? From Beijing to Tianjin to Haishi, as long as we heard about a good doctor, we all went to see him. They all said that if it can't be cured at home, it can be cured abroad."
Talking about this Comrade Chen, I couldn't help but sigh. During the first two years or so when his brother was ill, their family's money was spent on treating his brother. They also went to many places, but there was nothing they could do. Gradually I gave up.
But... there was a sudden movement in his heart, and he suddenly looked at Lu Jiaoer with burning eyes.
Could it be...
