Everywhere in the room was flooded, so Gu Xuelan didn't want to go in and take a look, and her good impression of the house was gone.
Liu Wangxue was still thinking about this small yard and said, "Mom, why don't you wait for the landlord to take care of it first, and then we can come back tomorrow?"
Gu Xuelan wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, an old man came up and said, "Is Qingsong here?"
The old man has a kind smile, which makes it easy for people to like him.
Liu Wangxue smiled and nodded.
The old man glanced at it and said in surprise: "Oh, why is it flooded like this!"
Xu Qingsong heard the voice and came out to see: "Second Master, why are you here?"
The old man ignored him and asked Liu Wangxue and his family with a smile: "Are you here to see the house? This house is flooded like this. It will definitely not be habitable without major repairs. Why don't you go and take a look at my house... ..."
Xu Qingsong was a little embarrassed, interrupted the old man, and said to Liu Wangxue's family: "I'm really sorry, the water pipes may be a little old. I've already called the landlord and asked him to call someone to come and fix it..."
"So, go and see my house." The old man sincerely suggested, "This community is already old. The electrical circuits and water pipes are all old, and it's troublesome to live in the back. My house..."
Xu Qingsong locked the door, said sorry again, and pulled the old man out of the unit: "Second Master, why did you come to see me?"
The old man clapped his hands and said, "I'm looking for your help in selling the house. You weren't at home. Your mother said you would bring someone here to view the house, so I came over."
Liu Wangxue and her parents also came out, and the old man looked at them sincerely: "My house also has a yard. Although it is an old house, the house was renovated the year before last, and the water pipes and lines were replaced with new ones. My yard, It’s bigger than this one, do you want to go take a look?”
Liu Wangxue did not resist the temptation of the courtyard and wanted to see it, but Gu Xuelan had no choice but to agree. But Liu Nanshan's shoes were wet, and they had to go back to the hotel first. Liu Wangxue asked for the address and said, "We will go directly there in the afternoon."
But Xu Qingsong said that there was no public transportation there and it was a little far to walk. He asked, "If it's convenient, tell me which hotel it is and I'll drive to pick you up in the afternoon."
Liu Wangxue told the hotel name and made an appointment.
On the way back, Gu Xuelan couldn't help but blame her: "Why do you trust strangers so easily? What if you go to see a house you don't know where? What if they have evil intentions?"
"Oh," Liu Wangxue said coquettishly, "you and dad are here, right, dad."
Liu Nanshan was very confident: "With me here, no one dares to do anything my daughter wants to do."
Suddenly Liu Wangxue's cell phone rang. When she saw it, it was Xu Qingsong who had sent her the location of the house. She immediately handed it to Gu Xuelan and said, "Hey, I'm really not a liar. Besides, what can I do to lie to you?"
Gu Xuelan really couldn't do anything to her.
Then, Xu Qingsong explained the general situation of the house to Liu Wangxue. Typing it could alleviate the embarrassment in his heart a little.
Xu Qingsong: [The house is a self-built house on state-owned land. The bungalow with a yard is about 90 square meters, and there is less than two cents of vegetable land. 】
Xu Qingsong: [There are few residents around, and it’s basically farmland, so it’s very quiet. 】
Xu Qingsong: [Anyway, you should go take a look first and then talk. 】
Catkin: [Okay. Thanks】
Actually, it’s a bit long to talk about the house.
Xu Qingsong's family moved to Qiushui Town from his great-grandfather's generation.
Grandpa Xu’s house is called the Xu family’s big house in a more retro style.
The Xu family has many properties, and some are even leaders in the industry. When my great-grandfather's father was critically ill, the competition for the family property entered a fierce stage. Only my great-great-grandfather truly guarded his father and served him as a filial piety.
The old man loved his son, and all the wills he left favored him. However, my great-grandfather was indifferent to fame and fortune, and his thoughts were not on business. He only wanted money and some real estate, and even refused the shares.
But who knows, the other two houses are not satisfied, and they suspect that the old man has given the big house something more valuable. After the old man passed away, the two families joined forces and pressed forward step by step.
In desperation, my great-grandfather sold the property, took his wife and two sons to Qiushui Town, bought a piece of land through state-owned transfer, built a house, and lived a small life.
All I can say is that there are children like the kind of parents they have. Grandpa’s two sons also regard money as dirt. The eldest son is obsessed with archeology and the younger son is obsessed with wood carving. They are both people with their own pursuits in life.
After settling in Qiushui Town, my great-grandfather no longer had contact with the Xu family, but he still kept in touch with his maternal family.
Later, when the two sons grew up, the original old house was rebuilt and divided into two yards.
The youngest son is naturally Xu Qingsong's second master.
The year before last, the second master's son bought a villa in the city, and it was only completed at the end of last year. He wanted to take the second master there to live in his old age, and he did not plan to come back in the future.
Originally, the house and land were to be transferred to Xu Qingsong's name, but Xu Qingsong didn't want it because it was too troublesome.
His original words were: "I just came back to rest, I don't want to worry about that."
The second master said: "If you don't have to worry about it, just rent it out. You can just take a look at it."
Xu Qingsong still refused: "There is a rural area next to it. Who doesn't have land? Who in the city is willing to go to the countryside to rent land for farming?"
The second master had no choice but to give up.
Later, one time, Xu Qingsong's college roommate brought several people over to play. One of them fell in love with the life here and asked him to help keep an eye on whether there was a house to buy.
In this way, Xu Qingsong helped the residents of the town make their first business.
No one could have imagined that there would be people willing to buy this kind of old house with thirty or forty years of property rights left. Those who were willing to sell their houses approached Xu Qingsong one after another.
Xu Qingsong had nothing to do, so he took a short video and persuaded the second master to transfer the house and land together.
The second master's son also agreed, but the second master and the second wife were reluctant to part with it.
After hesitating for a long time, seeing that Xu Qingsong really had no intention of taking over, he made the decision just before moving.
In the afternoon, when Xu Qingsong arrived with Liu Wangxue and her parents, the main door of the second master's house was wide open, and the draft blew through, carrying a light and elegant fragrance.
The old couple were packing things together. The second wife was wearing an everyday cheongsam. She was slender and wore a jade bracelet. Her hair was tied back with a wooden hairpin. When seeing someone coming, he first smiles, even his wrinkles are elegant.
Liu Wangxue admires this kind of people the most. The beauty in their bones will not fade with the aging of their skin.
After looking around inside and out, Liu Wangxue liked it very much.
The bungalow is built relatively high, with a transparent and spacious space. The kitchen and bathroom are all modern, and the indoor furniture is all antique style and made of solid wood.
And they are all made by the second master himself.
What surprised Liu Wangxue and his parents the most was that the bed in the master bedroom was a carved canopy bed, and the second bedroom was an embossed Arhat bed. Once you see it, you can't take your eyes away.
Gu Xuelan is a history teacher in a college. She loves these retro and antique things most. She wanted a carved canopy bed in her early years, but unfortunately her family's conditions did not allow it.
