Chapter 117 The Yard Where Someone Died
It was Zhou Yimin who drove Chen Baishu back, and Zhou Dazhong returned to the city after having the apprenticeship banquet.
They returned to the courtyard and it was gradually getting dark.
"Yimin, let's eat at my house?" Chen Baishu suggested.
Zhou Yimin shook his head: "No, I still have something to do with Dapeng and the others."
Fine!
The old man no longer invited him and returned to his home with the apprenticeship gift Zhou Daqiu gave him. Zhou Yimin went back to park the car and turned to Luo Dapeng.
"Boss, you're back? Oh! Why are you accepting things again? Yimin is so polite." The aunt thought that this was another gift from Zhou Yimin.
This is not good, after all, it was just collected once this morning.
It doesn't make sense to receive gifts twice for doing something once.
Chen Baishu put the things on the table and said with a smile: "I went to Zhoujiazhuang and accepted an apprentice. This is the gift given by others as a disciple. What do you know?"
Afterwards, he talked in detail about the reasons for accepting a disciple, etc.
"It was mainly Yimin who proposed it. I think the child is quite intelligent and sensible." The old man said at last.
After hearing this, Auntie nodded and said, "It's really hard to refuse Yimin's suggestion. This is good. Our family has a better relationship with Yimin."
"Mom, it's canned yellow peaches." The aunt's little daughter said happily.
The aunt immediately put it away to prevent the child from destroying it.
It would be great to take these precious canned yellow peaches to visit relatives and friends in the future!
We can eat one of those two strips of bacon tonight to satisfy the kids’ cravings.
The old man carefully opened the can of tea and was very happy to see that the tea leaves were intact and there were no broken pieces. Such high-quality tea is hard to get, even if you have money.
In addition, you can also tell the word "high-end" from this jar.
Later, when his friends came to see him, he had something to show off. If he took out the tea leaves and put them on display, wouldn't they be envious to death?
"This bacon and this canned food are really good." An old lady exclaimed.
Chen Baishu: "It's not even comparable to this tea."
The aunt was too lazy to say, can tea make you full or something like that?
That thing can only be enjoyed by her husband, but the bacon can be eaten by the whole family, and the canned yellow peaches can be given as gifts. Therefore, she certainly values bacon and canned yellow peaches more.
"Mom, let's open a can and eat it!" The second child in the family also craved for canned yellow peaches.
"that is……"
The children at home started to protest. This was too much! They were given two cans of yellow peaches and were not allowed to eat any. Even a stingy person would not do this.
"Just open a can for them." said the old man.
It was originally a gift from the apprentice, how could I give it to someone else?
"Fine!"
The head of the family said so, and the aunt carefully opened a can of yellow peaches and divided them evenly, and the same with the syrup inside. His family insisted on fairness in everything, so that they would not accuse their parents of being partial in the future.
"Boss, Daqiu is coming tomorrow. Where will he stay?" asked an aunt.
My own house is too small and there is no room for Daqiu to stay in!
"Yimin said he would solve it." Chen Baishu said.
They had discussed this issue on their way back.
The aunt then remembered that Yimin's house was not small and he lived alone, so there was indeed room for him.
Little did he know that Zhou Yimin had no intention of arranging Zhou Daqiu in their courtyard. He went to Luo Dapeng to ask how the discussion about the courtyard with a separate entrance and a separate house went.
If we buy that place, we must have someone live there. Otherwise, it's not good to leave the yard empty, it will make people suspicious. The best thing is to have someone live there and keep watch at night.
In the future, if anyone from Zhoujiazhuang has no place to live, Zhou Yimin will arrange for them to live in that courtyard. Since they are all his own people, there is no need to worry.
"Yimin cares a lot about his nephew." said an aunt.
Arranging for him to learn skills from a master and arranging a place for him to live are all things that his parents can do!
"Yes! Indeed, this is better."
Zhou Yimin came to Luo Dapeng's room.
Li Youde was also there, packing items for tonight's black market. Every time they went to the black market, they had a plan for what to sell. The specific plans, what to sell, how much to sell, and even whether to go or not, were all decided by Li Youde.
Luo Dapeng had no objection. He was too lazy to think about it because he knew Li Youde's brain was better than his.
Li Youde is not that idle. He has to analyze the situation in the black market every day, collect information, and then decide whether to go out, what to sell, and what price is appropriate.
When Zhou Yimin was at the door, he took out the braised pork he had bought earlier, which was still hot!
"Have you eaten?" Zhou Yimin asked.
Luo Dapeng and Li Youde took a look at the lunch box in Zhou Yimin's hand, opened it and found that there was braised pork inside. He said he didn't eat it even after he ate it!
"I'll go get a bottle of wine." Luo Dapeng said quickly.
Zhou Yimin stopped him: "Stop drinking. How was the conversation about the courtyard you mentioned?"
Li Youde took out three bowls and three pairs of chopsticks from Luo Dapeng's cupboard and washed them.
The stewed food Zhou Yimin brought was all cut and packed in two large lunch boxes.
"It's settled. We can transfer ownership at any time. However, the price has only been negotiated to 950 yuan. If we delay for another two days, I think he will definitely ..."
Before Luo Dapeng finished speaking, Zhou Yimin said, "950 yuan is 950 yuan! Tomorrow morning, go find him and we'll go to the street office to transfer the yard.
By the way, is there really no problem with the yard?"
The yard is worth more than 900 yuan. If I want to sell it, there should be a lot of people interested in it.
Although it was just a courtyard house, it was not small! It was more than 100 square meters.
For example, the Siheyuan where Zhou Yimin and his family live now has a front yard, a middle yard, and a back yard, which means three courtyards. One courtyard is actually equivalent to only having a front yard, without the middle yard and the back yard.
But even so, it can accommodate three or four households.
"It has some flaws and is rather shabby, but someone has lived there before, so it's okay. Also, I heard a rumor." Luo Dapeng didn't dare to hide it.
As long as someone lives in the house, even if it looks shabby, it is strong and will be fine.
But if no one lives in the house, even if it is only a few years old, it will become completely abandoned in a few years, uninhabitable and easily collapse.
"What rumors?"
"They said someone died before." Luo Dapeng said truthfully.
Zhou Yimin and Li Youde rolled their eyes. What's the big deal about people dying? Which house hasn't had people die? Not to mention people dying, there are even houses that are haunted!
"What's there to be afraid of after someone has died?"
Luo Dapeng: "He was hanged at the door, otherwise no one would be superstitious. But it happened a long time ago, we were not even born yet!"
"It's out of the way."
Zhou Yimin really didn't think it was a big deal. In later generations, some houses were even shredded by people!
"If you think it's okay, then there's no problem." Luo Dapeng breathed a sigh of relief.
He decided to go find his friend after finishing his meal.
