I collect junk in the chronology

Lu Weidong took out a handful of candies and put them in the hands of the child who peeked at him, and the child happily held them.

Lu Weidong saw him smilingly reaching out to hand the candy to the fat lady, and praised: "Your grandson is a filial child."

The fat aunt said a few words of modesty, but her face showed a bit of complacency.

She took care of the grown-up grandson with one hand, and it really didn't hurt in vain!

Glancing at his daughter-in-law, he motioned for her to catch it, then turned his head and said to Lu Weidong, "Young man, that matter has been settled, let's go, it happens that old man Jiang is at home, let's go now."

The fat aunt couldn't wait to finish it quickly, and the saved food flew away again.

The fat aunt led Lu Weidong and knocked on the door of old man Jiang's house, "Old Jiang, this is the man I introduced to you." The fat aunt's tone was familiar and she obviously had a good relationship with old man Jiang.

Old man Jiang glanced at Lu Weidong beside him, and couldn't help frowning, doubting whether he could afford the money, but... let's sell the old neighbor to save face.

Old man Jiang hesitated, opened the door and let the two come in sideways: "Come in."

Old man Jiang looked old, not very energetic, slightly hunchbacked, his leg was injured when he was young, and now he walks with a limp, which is why his son is worried about leaving him here alone.

Old man Jiang sighed and looked at the yard reluctantly.

This is where he has lived all his life, and he still remembers the elation he felt when he first lived in the courtyard as a child, when his parents looked at him with a smile on the sidelines.

This is also the place where he and his wife have lived all their lives. They got married here and formed a happy family, but...the wife left too early.

The old man Jiang's eyes were slightly red, and there was a flash of moisture. He was reluctant to sell, but he was not allowed to live alone, not to mention that his son's house had two more mouths, so he couldn't just watch and ignore everything.

Lu Weidong felt that the old man Jiang lost his spirit immediately after he finished speaking. Seeing the old man's old palms rubbing against the bricks and tiles on the wall, his eyes were filled with reluctance, and he knew it in his heart.

He likes the overall layout of this courtyard very much. The gate is on the right, and when the gate is opened, it is a screen wall, in order to prevent the courtyard from being seen at a glance.

The small size of the courtyard is more exquisite and elegant. There is exactly one main room and one west wing room. There are few houses so the rooms are relatively spacious, the workmanship is also meticulous, and the house has good lighting.

A small kitchen is set up on the east side of the yard, next to a well and a small green flower bed, which is quite rural.

This house surprised Lu Weidong, it was better than he expected.

Old man Jiang led the people from the wing room to the main room.

After going up three steps, Lu Weidong walked into the room, and the main room was filled with large and small packages of salutes.

"You..." Lu Weidong looked at old man Jiang in a daze.

"I'm going to move out in a few days. If you don't come, the house will be sold in a few days." Old man Jiang walked in and sat down while holding the door frame, and rubbed his calf with his hand.

Feeling in my heart, I have been unforgiving for several months, and my body is becoming more and more useless.

Lifting his chin, motioning for the two to sit down, he reached out to hold the teapot and poured a glass of water and handed it over.

"I won't drink, there is something else at home, you two talk." The fat aunt waved her hand, knowing that the two of them will discuss the price next, she is not here, so she hurriedly said.

"...Young man, let's sit with me later." The fat lady reminded slightly, the food coupons hadn't been given to her yet.

"Don't worry, I will tell you when I leave." Lu Weidong nodded and smiled.

The fat aunt left contentedly.

Only then did Lu Weidong speak, and asked tentatively, "I don't know how much you want?"

"One thousand and eight." Old man Jiang raised his eyelids and gave him a surprised look, as if he didn't expect to really buy it, but the price couldn't be less.

He can live for a few more years with this body, and he is unwilling to ask his son for money, so he must have money in his hand, and his son has to subsidize some financial pressure. After thinking about it for a while, old man Jiang said this amount.

Lu Weidong frowned slightly. Although he is not short of money now, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of. Although the house is good, it is not the only choice. You can find it if you look for it slowly. The price is more than a star and a half higher than the market price.

Knowing that he was dissatisfied with the price, old man Jiang glanced at him, got up slowly, and signaled him to follow.

Is there something special about it?

Lu Weidong raised his eyebrows and followed behind.

There is a small aisle between the main room and the wing room. There is a wooden board on the opposite wall, and old man Jiang motions to move the board away.

Lu Weidong didn't know what kind of charade this was, but he obediently moved away.

"?"

After the wooden board was moved away, a small locked wooden door was revealed. Old man Jiang took the key from his waist and stepped forward to open the lock.

It must have been unused for a long time. The wooden door was covered with green moss, and the iron lock was rusty and inflexible. The old man Jiang turned the key several times before he successfully opened it.

Pushing open the wooden door, there is... weeds?

Looking at the waist-length weeds, Lu Weidong thought of the fear of being dominated by the weeds at the beginning, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, wondering, I have such a relationship with the weeds?

"Ahem!" The old man Jiang didn't expect it, and his face was a little embarrassed, "Well, there is actually a garden behind this, ahem, it's a bit dilapidated now, and you can continue to build the house after tidying up."

His wife died young, and he loved the garden the most during his lifetime. Later, he didn't want to see things and think about others, and he didn't want to care about them, so he locked it up. If it wasn't for selling the house, he would have almost forgotten it.

Since it was full of weeds, Lu Weidong borrowed a ladder, climbed up, and stood on the top of the wall, condescendingly watching the area of ​​the garden.

"That's not bad." Lu Weidong came down from the ladder, clapped the ashes on his hands, and said loudly.

The garden is not very big, it is slightly larger than the courtyard, and with the addition of the main courtyard, the area will increase immediately. Although old man Jiang's asking price is still a bit expensive, it is not outrageous.

The two bargained for a while, and finally settled on 200, which was a reduction of [-] yuan.

In fact, there is still room for bargaining at this price, but it is not easy for the elderly, who wants to sell the place where they have lived all their lives...

"When do you think the house will be handed over?" Lu Weidong is not in a hurry, there is no need to evict people now, and he is going to wait until he is settled before transferring the ownership.

"Just the day after tomorrow, you come over the day after tomorrow." After finishing speaking, old man Jiang hesitated to speak, and sighed a little, with a sense of desolation: "The house will be yours by then, I hope you can take good care of it..."

He knew that this sentence was a bit inappropriate, the other party owned the property, and how to change it was out of his control, but he just wanted to remind him, in case the other party listened to it.

Lu Weidong understood the old man's feelings for the house, and promised: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Old man Jiang nodded, sighed, raised his hand and waved it slowly twice, signaling him to go first.

After solving the problem of the house, Lu Weidong came out of Jiang's house and walked to the alley. The fat lady was sitting at the door of the house teasing her grandson.

Lu Weidong said hello.

The fat aunt sat at the door and waited when she came out of Jiang's house, afraid that he would forget the reward he promised to give her.No, she saw him as soon as he stepped out of the gate.

Lu Weidong took out the food stamps he had prepared from his pocket and handed them over, "Thank you for your hard work. It is thanks to you that this house can be negotiated."

The fat aunt hurriedly took it, looked at the extra half a catty of meat tickets, was full of joy, and said in her mouth: "Where is it!"

Carefully put the ticket in his pocket, curious in his heart, rolled his eyes, and asked gossipingly, "Hey, young man, how much did Old Man Jiang ask for?"

Lu Weidong just smiled and said nothing, nodded and said, "Ma'am, it's getting late, I'll be leaving first."

What a joke, is he going to spread the word that he is rich?

Two days later, Lu Weidong came to the door as promised with the money, and the two went to the housing management office to register.

"Uncle Jiang, let me go to the bank with you to deposit the money." Now when workers earn more than 30 yuan a month, 600 yuan is definitely a huge sum of money. Of course, he is worried about letting the old man go alone.

"That's fine, I'll trouble you." Old man Jiang was also worried, and nodded in agreement.

Lu Weidong rode his car to the bank to deposit the money in his passbook, and he decided to be a good person to the end. Amid Jiang's embarrassing refusal, he sent the person safely to his son's house.

The alley was also vacant, waiting for Lu Weidong to receive it.

When old man Jiang was moving yesterday, the neighbors in the neighborhood heard that the house was sold, and asked the fat lady one after another.

In the eyes of the fat aunt, Lu Weidong is the kind of rich and powerful family, how can ordinary people raise such a temperament.

After the fat aunt described it with embellishments, the neighbors knew in their hearts that this person was unusual and could not be offended!I have to say it was a beautiful misunderstanding.

So when Lu Weidong went to collect the house, he kindly offered to help.

Lu Weidong thanked him with a smile, but declined calmly.

The yard should have been swept by old man Jiang, it was clean.

Lu Weidong folded his arms around his chest. He hasn't figured out what to use here, so let's leave it idle for now, and come here to walk around from time to time, so as not to make people feel that no one lives here.

Take out the lock you bought from the space, change all the locks in the house, and finally lock the door and leave.

After dinner and back to the room, Lu Weidong counted the time, it was time to prepare the review materials, the purchase station seemed to have put a lot of unused study materials, and he had to look for them tomorrow!

Lu Weidong got up early in the morning and dug out the big box under the bed. This was only thought of last night. In it, Liu Xiuying put all his study materials from childhood to adulthood, as small as a paper, for her, for fear of being bitten by mice. , and come over to check it from time to time, and wipe the dust by the way.

Lu Weidong thought of his mother squatting in front of the box, holding a rag and gently wiping one by one, his heart swelled, mother's love is like spring breeze, even the smallest places can be blown.

Liu Xiuying put the breakfast on the dining table and called him back. Lu Weidong suddenly wanted to hug her, and of course he did.

Liu Xiuying's eyes were wide open, her mouth was open, her throat was silent, and she was at a loss.

Lu Weidong hugged and let go, smiling at his mother.

Liu Xiuying turned around abruptly and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Rubbing his eyes, he cursed in his heart, little bastard, how old are you still doing this.

It's just that the corners of the mouth don't rise that much.

Liu Xiuying used to be disappointed because the child no longer told her everything in detail when she was old. Today's hug made her understand that no matter how old the child is, it is her child!
