Zhou Huairen said: "It makes sense. If the movable property is replaced by real estate, they won't be able to make a decision!"
After all, they are just a gang of thugs, bullying the out-of-towners who don't follow their footsteps, and they are not even robbing families and homes.
Ah Q said: "I am going to the city this time. In addition to treatment, I also plan to buy a house to settle down. I wonder if my uncle can teach me?"
Zhou Huairen thought about it, shook his head and said, "I can't remember which house has a house for sale at the moment. I'll take you to Yaxing to ask."
Zhou Boxheng was listening on the side and suddenly said as if he had enlightenment: "Bi Fei Nong! Opposite Bi Fei Nong Qian's Office, isn't there a house with a red sticker?"
House sellers like to advertise their houses with big red paper posters.
Zhou Boxheng likes to listen to operas and often goes to the Qianye Office's guild hall to attend theater shows. He saw a house for sale poster a few days ago.
Zhou Huairen also remembered and said: "No! Zhou Wenhui, the old owner of Zhenze Bank, went to Shanghai to open a business. There is a house for sale. You might as well go and take a look."
I won’t have lunch now, so I’ll go see the house first, as I’m afraid someone else will buy it if I get there late.
With the locals protecting them, the gangsters didn't dare to mess around.
Bifei Alley is on Xiaoshan Street, and the entrance of the alley is about a hundred meters away from the Western Medicine Room.
The alley is not wide, about three or four meters long. It is paved with hemp strips of stone, and the water ditches on both sides are covered with stone slabs.
The alley runs from north to south and is neat and clean. There are many luxurious houses on both sides. It looks like a high-end residential area. Otherwise, the bank office would not be located here.
After entering about 70 or 80 meters, you will see the plaque on the door of Qian Yegong Office. After going a few dozen meters further, you will see the "Cai Mansion", the home of Cai Yuanpei.
Cai Yuanpei was a master of imperial examinations like Lu Xun's grandfather Zhou Fuqing. He passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official. He is now in the capital or abroad.
Ah Q had heard of the reputation of Cai Mansion before, but now that he was standing in front of Cai Mansion, his heartbeat could not help but quicken.
After a few more Shitai gates, we are already at the back of Bi Fei Lane. The door inside is obviously smaller. One of the houses is the one with red hair stickers.
The house is still there!
The host was not there, and the door was locked.
Looking at Wen Qi, it turns out that he entrusted the family next door to handle the buying and selling procedures, and the protagonist's family went to Shanghai.
We went to the next door, which was also a small house. A couple lived there, but the master was not at home. Ah Q and his party were waiting outside the door for the master to come home for dinner.
Sure enough, after a while, the man came back.
Ah Q looked around and saw that it was Inspector Tang.
After some chatting, it turned out that the inspector's name was Tang Shoude, and he had a particularly famous clan brother named Tang Shouqian, who was now the general office of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway, and would later become the first governor of Zhejiang in the Republic of China.
Just chatting, let’s take a look at the house first.
The blue brick door was much shabbier than the stone platform door that came all the way, but Ah Q didn't care.
After passing a small entrance hall, there is a courtyard inside, with a patio in the middle. There are three side-by-side rooms at the door of the house, which are miscellaneous rooms. Going inside, there is the vegetable garden. The vegetable garden is about five feet wide. Perhaps because it is close to the wilderness of Jiezhu Mountain, it is very long, more than ten feet deep. It is surrounded by stone foundations and earth walls. Many of the earth walls have collapsed.
Ah Q fell in love with it at first sight, for no other reason than that it was good for farming. There was more than an acre of land!
This is obviously the instinct of farmhand Ah Q. The ghost Ah Q from later generations is a gun-player.
The price is five hundred yuan, which Zhou Huairen thinks is a bit expensive. After all, the house is small, the vegetable plot is not valuable, the walls, roof tiles and floors are somewhat damaged, the house is leaking, and the wooden structure is covered in mold and moss.
In the end, the deal was completed at the reserve price of 400 yuan. Zhou Huairen generously donated 100 yuan to Ah Q to collect the funds.
In the afternoon of the same day, I went to the Kuaiji County Government Office to apply for the red deed and get the house number.
The house number is equivalent to the ID card of later generations, a piece of paper that contains the name, age, appearance, characteristics of the owner and family members, the location of the house, neighbors, etc.
From then on, Ah Q was a native of Fucheng and no longer a native of Weichuang.
Ah Q moved into the new house that night.
After completing the formalities, I bought some supplies for daily food and oil, and I still had two or three silver dollars left on hand. Silver dollars have strong purchasing power, so if I use them sparingly, I can make ends meet for two months.
Ah Q felt relieved and had a good night's dream. In his dream, he was a big landowner and enjoyed all kinds of luxurious scenery.
One person didn't sleep well.
The neighbor, Inspector Tang Shoude, started to think carefully.
Even though the contact time was short, he had already realized that Ah Q next door could speak, write and calculate, he had a good mind, and he was on good terms with a family like the Zhou family. I'm afraid... he might not be as good as...
He has a sister, Tang Xiaoman, who is quite beautiful, but she is already twenty-nine years old, and she is still waiting to be married to her boudoir, not to her husband's family.
It all comes down to studying. Since this girl attended Shaoxing Mingde Academy for several years, she no longer refuses to marry a country man casually. Recently, she was bewitched by some unknown source and went to Datong Academy to study physical education!
Others don’t know what Datong Academy is for, but he, Inspector Tang, can’t know it!
It was a den of the Revolutionary Party. They ransacked homes and exterminated families. Qiu Jin, the heroine of Jianhu Lake, was the school supervisor, and Wang Jinfa, the hero leader of Dananshan Mountain, was the director of education. In the name of strengthening the country through sports, dozens of foreign guns were drilled day and night. The rebellion was Sooner or later!
Poor prefect Guifu, he still thinks about the status of the deed's daughter, and thinks that there will be no confrontation between swords and guns! I'm afraid then... Alas! The revolutionary party is always ready to drop bombs, which is really dangerous!
Tang Shoude went to Datong Academy several times to look for someone, but was avoided by the girls. He was really worried.
Tang Shoude wanted to entrust someone to sneak into the school and get the girl out, even if she was kidnapped! It’s just that I haven’t found the right person yet.
His eyes lit up when he thought of Ah Q.
