Chapter 142 Housing
It’s close to the old house and not too far from her shop.
He An lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that this was a feasible approach.
Moreover, "there are disasters this year, so housing prices should fall."
Su Yan nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's a good time to buy a house."
Anyway, they are living there, not investing.
He An: "Then I'll go take a look in the next few days to see if there are any houses for sale around here. When the time is right..."
He An roughly calculated the money in their family, including what he had saved, what his parents gave him as part of the family property, and what he had earned this year.
It should be enough to buy a house.
I guess by then I won’t have as much money to work with.
Su Yan replied: "Just buy it when the time comes."
Su Yan blinked, "Did you forget that I still have royalties? The money is enough."
Yes, Su Yan has saved nearly 1,000 taels of silver from his royalties last year, plus this year’s.
Every time Zhao Wan gave it to her directly.
Sometimes when she remembered something, she would tell He An, and if she couldn’t remember it, she would just put it aside.
The money came too quickly and in too much amount, and they all felt it was unreal.
Plus, their lives haven't changed at all because of it, so they usually don't think about it.
So He An really didn’t think of this for a moment.
Hearing Su Yan talking about this, the financial pressure on his shoulders was immediately relieved a lot.
But then he thought that this was Su Yan's royalties, and he joked, "Then I'm going to be a gigolo, right?"
Su Yan laughed loudly, freed one hand to pinch He An's chin, and turned it slightly left and right.
He nodded seriously, "Well, you look good! I allow you to be a gigolo."
Unexpectedly, Dudu in her arms saw it and immediately imitated He An by touching his face.
Holding He An's chin with both hands, he spoke in words that only he could understand.
Su Yan was even more amused when she saw this. "Why, do you also want your father to eat your gigolo?"
Her response was drool bubbles.
He An helplessly looked at the mother and daughter opposite him, waiting for them to have enough teasing.
Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped Dudu's saliva.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps, followed by Su Erlang's voice.
"Brother-in-law, I'm back!"
As soon as he came in, he saw Su Yan and He An very close to him. He immediately turned around and covered his eyes with his hands, "I didn't see anything!"
Su Yan: "Stop!"
She stood up holding Dudu and turned around, looking at Su Erlang helplessly, "Why are you running?"
Su Erlang looked back guiltily and saw the two men standing opposite each other.
He An still held the handkerchief in his hand and did not put it away.
Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood, and he smiled awkwardly, "Haha, sister, you are laughing too."
Su Yan glared at him, but seeing that he had just returned from his hometown, she did not pursue the matter any further.
Then he asked about his family situation.
When Su Erlang mentioned this, the smile on his face fell, "...The village is next to the river, which more or less alleviated the drought in some fields."
"Dad would ask mom and my wife to go to the river to fetch water for irrigation every day in April and May. It was very hard."
At this point, Su Erlang smiled again, "It's also thanks to Grandpa who divided the family last year, and gave us less land."
"It takes two people, Dad and Mom, to take turns."
He knew that He An knew about their family affairs, and he mentioned Grandpa Su in front of him without any hesitation.
"My uncle's family got too much land and couldn't spare any help. My grandparents are so old and they have to go fetch water with others."
"Dad felt bad when he saw this, so he went over to help after the watering was done at home."
Su Erlang actually had some resentment towards Grandpa Su in his heart, but when Xia Shou returned home, he saw Grandpa Su's hunched body and a face that was more than one layer darker.
I actually feel bad.
If Su's father asked Su's mother and his wife to go over to help, he would definitely not agree.
But he didn't call anyone. After finishing his work at home, he went there alone.
It was hard for him to say anything.
Only during the summer harvest, after finishing his own work, did he delay for two more days to help harvest the grain at Grandpa Su's house before returning to the county.
Su Yan looked at his brother, whose skin had turned darker after the summer harvest.
I guess he probably helped too.
But she also believed that Su Erlang was sensible, at least much more sensible than his father.
If you ask him to help with work, he won't hesitate to put in any effort.
But Su Erlang would not agree to anything else.
He didn't say anything else, but just asked, "How is the food at home? Is there enough to eat?"
Su Erlang answered excitedly, "Don't worry, it's enough. The court has reduced half of the taxes, and I also send money back every month. My parents have already made plans and bought some food."
“We can eat it all at home until next year!”
Su Yan nodded, but still reminded, "We don't know what the weather will be like in the second half of the year. Next time you go home, ask your parents to pay more attention. The wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains are just right in summer. Eat more of them and save the food for emergencies."
Su Erlang nodded and agreed, "I'll tell them next time I go back."
He An next to him seemed to be thinking about something.
After seeing that the brother and sister had finished talking, they started to arrange to go out for dinner together.
Su Yan waved her hand and refused. "When I came here this morning, I told my grandmother that I would go back to eat. Besides, Dudu can't come out to grow up. I guess he'll have to change his diaper soon."
Su Erlang pinched his plump little nose and laughed, "This is how newborn babies are. They need to be changed once an hour."
"My yard was full of diapers."
Su Yan also laughed, "Dudu is about the same now. The most common things in our room now are her things."
"I'm afraid even if He An and I were put together, we wouldn't have as much as a little girl like her."
Su Erlang waved his hand, "Same as before."
The two talked for a few more words, and Su Yan kept He An.
He let them eat together and left first.
Ever since he mentioned finding a house that day, He An has taken it to heart.
Every day when I have some free time I always go out for a walk and ask around to see if anyone is interested in selling their house.
At the same time, I also asked for an introduction from a dental clinic.
Finally, after some careful selection, he left out three sets that he was satisfied with and handed them to Su Yan.
Two sets were introduced by the dental office. One is located on the next street, in an old house.
But there are nine rooms, and the corresponding courtyard is much smaller, and the asking price is 85 taels.
The other one was also one-room, but smaller, with only five rooms, but the yard was quite large, and the asking price was not cheap, reaching 80 taels.
Another house belongs to a member of the He family, who came to He An on his own initiative when he saw him asking about the house.
That one is on the other side of the old house. It has seven rooms and a bigger yard than the first one. The asking price is 75 taels.
Su Yan was puzzled and pointed at the second house and asked, "This one has the fewest rooms, why is the price so high?"
He An stretched his head over to take a look, and seeing that it was this set, he said, "Although this house has few rooms, it has a large yard, and there is a peach tree in the yard."
He added, “The most important thing is that there is a well in the yard.”
Su Yan sat up straighter, "There is a well, no wonder."
It costs at least 15 taels to dig a well.
