Chapter 713 1 Silver Dollar

Chapter 713 A Silver Dollar

The next morning, Deng Qiushi and the second homeowner who entered the courtyard came as scheduled.

After a group of people had breakfast together, they went straight to the housing management bureau to go through the formalities.

After confirming that the procedures were complete, Lu Lu also went to the bank to withdraw the money and delivered it face to face.

Lu Lu handed over 49 yuan without blinking an eye.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and the rest of the furniture inside will be left to you. Keep what you need, and throw away what you don't need!"

The landlord thought that Lu Lu's family would live there, and those things couldn't be sold for much money, so he just kept them.Then, he took the money and turned around to exchange foreign currency.

Until now, Deng Qiushi was still a little dazed.

She didn't expect that things went so fast, and the sale of the courtyard house was settled after only one night.Not to mention that Lu Lu could directly take out so much money and pay the full amount.

Almost 50!

She began to be a little curious about who this ordinary-looking man was.

"What on earth are you doing? Big boss? Hong Kong businessman..." Deng Qiushi kept guessing, but frequently overturned his guess, shaking his head constantly: "It doesn't look like it?"

"Don't make random guesses. I'm just a farmer from out of town who settled in the wilderness!" Lu Lu said with a smile: "The money was scraped together... By the way, today's work has been completed. I can't pay you any more wages. If you're interested, why don't we go see the square and the monument together? I can still treat you to food and drinks."

"mean!"

Deng Qiushi curled his lips: "Let's go!"

Lu Lu was overwhelmed by the back and forth.

And Chen Xiuyu was also stunned, and asked Lu Lu in a low voice: "Brother Lu, how can you come up with so much money all of a sudden?"

"We saved 30 ourselves, and then we asked Brother Feng and others to borrow 62 each, and we collected [-] and took it over."

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Didn't you say that I am in charge of this matter?"

"But this is too much... When can we pay it off?"

"A lot?"

Lu Lu smiled: "It won't be long before I can pay it off. Once this year's food, wild geese and flying dragons are sold, plus hunting in winter and carrying the mallet next year, I can pay it off by the end of next year at most. , believe it or not."

"But, is it worthwhile for us to buy such a big house here without coming to live here?"

Lu Lu took her hand, patted it lightly, and believed in my eyes: "In the future, you will find that we can make a lot of money by buying this house and putting it here?"

"How much can I earn?" Chen Xiuyu really couldn't figure it out.

Lu Lu raised a finger at her.

"One...what do you mean?"

"You think too big!"

Lu Lu took the child and hugged him: "Let's go, in the future, even if we don't come to live here, we can earn a lot of money every year just by renting it out. Where is this? Houhai! It's near Beihai Park. It’s the avenue where people come and go. Besides...we still have so much gold! Don’t worry.”

Chen Xiuyu was stunned for a moment. At this time, only the gold that was hidden deep could be used as a reassurance, otherwise her heart would be a little unbearable.

Now, she could only choose to trust Lu Lu's judgment.

Yes, Lu Lu didn’t seem to miss it!

"You two, let's go!" Deng Qiushi walked forward for a while, turned around and saw the couple standing behind without moving, and couldn't help urging.

Lu Lu stretched out his hand and rubbed Chen Xiuyu's head: "Let's go, when you arrive in the capital, if you don't visit the squares, monuments, memorial halls and the Forbidden City, it would be a waste of your visit to the capital. Let's take more pictures today. Yes Yes, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to see the flag raising. Then go to our house to see.”

The two of them followed Deng Qiushi all the way. Under her guidance, they walked, looked, listened to her talk about what they saw, and ate a lot of famous snacks.

The roast duck, with its bright red color, delicate meat, mellow taste, fat but not greasy texture, is a must-try.

The stewed pork belly is also good.

The stuffing is evenly rolled, layered, yellow in appearance, fragrant, sweet and sticky, and the donkey roll (bean noodle cake) with a strong aroma of soybean flour is also quite good...

It was a rare visit, and since he bought his favorite courtyard house, Lu Lu was very happy and led Chen Xiuyu to play to his heart's content.

Later, I went to Xidan and bought two dual-calendar adjustable Shanghai mechanical watches, one for each of the couple.

After just a day of fun, in the past few days, I got to know Deng Qiushi better, and we could be considered to have formed a friendship, and we left each other's contact information.

"Maybe one day I will come to Lao Maozi's side too!"

"Then come. I'll take you around and act as your translator. I'll be with you over there."

"The tone is not small... It gives me the feeling that you don't look like you used to study abroad. How can you go to the capital to stay at this time."

"Isn't it winter? My classmates and friends asked me to come back and bring them some domestic things. In a few days, I should go."

"Okay, let's not live here. If you have time, come and play in the Great Wilderness. You can also write a letter and contact me at any time. I want to know more about the old Maozi's situation!"

"no problem!"

Deng Qiushi waved his hand and left without looking back.

After watching the flag raising the next morning, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu ate noodles with fried sauce in the capital before heading to the courtyard.

The house owner acted very quickly. When Lu Lu arrived, he had already sorted out all the things he was going to take away from the house. When Lu Lu entered, he handed over the house key to him.

"After selling it, I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant!" He sighed.

Lu Lu smiled: "After all, it's my hometown... The memories of my childhood should all be here, right? But now, it's mine!"

With this house, it is very easy for Lu Lu to have a capital residence registration, and for the younger generation, he can also enjoy many superior resources.

The middle-aged man nodded and sighed. After waiting for a long time, a three-wheeled flatbed truck came out of the door. Lu Lu helped to load the things he was going to take away on the car. Watching him leave, the first thing he did was put the Close the door, and then drill into each room.

Seeing Lu Lu's hurry, Chen Xiuyu quickly followed up: "What are you doing?"

"This family is not easy to hear. It's not an ordinary family. You have to take a good look at those bottles and jars. If you find an antique or something, maybe all the money we bought the house will be back. Of course, the chance of this is very small, but what if?"

There are many rooms in this second-level courtyard. The rooms in the front yard are empty, but the main room in the back yard is empty.The rooms in the east and west wings are quite fully furnished, including fabric sofas, solid wood beds, and more.

Lu Lu almost spent most of the day in these rooms.It’s really like looking at all the pots and pans, even the flower pots with flowers and plants. The decorative porcelain vases placed under the bed, under the sofa, and on the antique shelf, etc., looking through everything. Finally, he sadly said: I found that I didn't find anything.

As expected!

Seeing him slumped on the sofa covered in dust, Chen Xiuyu, who followed him around, laughed, "You think so beautifully!"

Lu Lu also laughed: "I should have thought about being more beautiful, otherwise I would have no hope for this day..."

He looked at the beams on the top, frowned slightly, moved two chairs, stood on top of each other, and touched them one by one. After spending a lot of time, he finally found a hole at the mortise and tenon joint of the beam. A dusty thing.

He jumped off the chair and wiped it, and found it was a silver dollar: "I'm just telling you, how could there be nothing? Look what I found?"

"Isn't it just a silver dollar? What's all the fuss about!"

She has seen so much gold, but in Chen Xiuyu's opinion, silver coins are not unusual at all.

"It's a silver dollar after all, so it's worth collecting..."

He looked carefully: "Guangxu Yuanbao, made by Fengtian Province, Guimao, one tael of Kuping silver."

Look at the back again, it is a dragon pattern.

He couldn't help but frown slightly: "I've never seen such a silver dollar!"

Lu Lu was most familiar with Yuan Datou and Huazi on crutches. He had never seen such a silver coin before, but he thought it was a bit strange.

But in any case, just by the word Guangxu, it can be regarded as an antique, so keep it.

Lu Lu has never been in the antique business, so he doesn't know much about it.He also couldn't understand the things he got from Jin Zhiquan, but anyway, it wouldn't be a bad thing to keep them for the future.

After the matter was done, Lu Lu also let out a long sigh of relief.

But as the previous owner said, if no one takes care of this house, it will lose its vitality. This is a very strange thing. There are always people living in it. No matter how hard it is, it will always give people a warm feeling, but , if no one lives in it for a long time, it will feel a lot more strange, the smell will be very uncomfortable, and even the house itself will decay quickly.

But people always want to go back, they can't stay here forever.

"I'm going to ask Haozi tomorrow to see if my godmother can stay. If she stays, his house is quite narrow. I can let my godmother live in it and take care of it. Clean it often. It smells like fireworks. It will be much better.”

Lu Lu discussed with Chen Xiuyu.

"Then what if Mrs. Duan doesn't want to stay?"

"She should stay. It's much better than living in the village. Their house is already in a shabby state. If she doesn't want to, just ask Deng Qiushi to see if she can rent it out. No need. No matter how high the rent is, there will always be people willing to live in such a good place!”

"we can only do this."

It really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived. In the evening, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu returned to the hotel and saw Liu Hao's family waiting in front of the hotel.

"elder brother……"

Liu Hao came over quickly: "I don't know where you have gone, but we have been waiting here for a long time. We came to the capital for a trip, and we still couldn't get around to receive you properly. Tonight, I will treat you to a meal." Have you bought your house?"

"I bought a two-entry courtyard house on the Houhai side!" Lu Lu said casually.

"It costs a lot of money to enter a courtyard house for the second time!" Liu Hao was a little surprised. He never expected that he would actually pay for it.

Aunt Duan cheerfully hugged her granddaughter, and interjected, "Don't underestimate my godson. In just two years, he has earned a lot of money by hunting and carrying clubs. There is also a family farm that has been established. It raised bees, sika deer, forest frogs, wild geese, and roe deer. This year, it also raised dragons and horses. It made a lot of money that year. Didn’t I tell you in the letter that they were all published in newspapers, and now it’s ours? Few of the celebrities around here have what he is capable of."

"I know, I just didn't expect to earn so much!"

"What, you want to go back and catch the mountains with me?"

"I think so..." When he said this, Liu Hao secretly glanced at his wife.

Lu Lu saw it, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, doing your job well is no better than doing anything. By the way, godmother, are you planning to stay here this time, or go back with us? "

"I would like to go back, but I can't let go of this good granddaughter!" Aunt Duan said hesitantly.

"Why are you going back? I've been thinking about picking you up for a long time. If you want to leave, I won't let you go! Help me pick up my daughter here and take care of the housework. It's time to live a leisurely life for a few days. As for The pigs and chickens you raise will be given to me." Liu Hao said firmly.

"I think it's pretty good too. In this way, I see that your place is quite crowded. It just so happens that the house I bought is quite spacious. My godmother can live there and help take care of it, otherwise the house will deteriorate quickly...Anyway, leave Your home is not far away. How are you?"

Lu Lu asked not without asking.

Hearing this, Liu Hao and his wife's eyes lit up and they looked at each other: "That's what I want!"

"Then the matter is settled. I will take you to see the house now, and then hand over the key to you. Our family has been out for a few days, and the house has been assigned. It is time to go back. We are ready to leave tomorrow. There’s a lot of things waiting in the fields and on the farm.”

Lu Lu immediately led the family back to the yard in Houhai, and after explaining some precautions, they went to have a meal together.

The next day, Lu Lu led Chen Xiuyu to buy a color TV, some sets of clothes, and some children's toys, and then bought a sleeper ticket, and embarked on the journey back to Yichun. On this day, there was a light snow in the sky .
