The happy little days of the Ye family

Different from the grand gates of other big houses that I saw before, the gate of this small house is very low-key and simple, so you won't notice it even if you pass by.

Banyan Tree Lane is more lively, but because this is the last house at the end of the lane, it is much quieter than the house at the head of the lane.

Xiao Li opened the door neatly. The front yard was not big, but it was well taken care of.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a well-tended pomegranate tree on the left, and two leafy osmanthus trees on the right.

Walking inside, there is a small vegetable garden on the left.

The vegetable garden is not big, but there are a lot of things to grow, including eggplants, pumpkins, beans, cabbage, lettuce, and various vegetables and fruits.

Whether it is the pomegranate tree, osmanthus tree or small vegetable garden that came in, these plants are growing very well. It can be seen that the original owner put a lot of thought into taking care of the yard.

Although the yard is a bit small, there is still a well, which is on the right side of the yard.

Mr. Ye also specially brought half a bucket of water up and tasted it. It was a sweet water well, and the water quality was good and very sweet.

There is a small pool next to the well, which is specially used for washing clothes.

There is a set of stone tables at the door of the kitchen. It would be very pleasant to eat in this courtyard in the evening. Ye Qingqing fell in love with this courtyard at first sight.

After looking at the front yard, several people came to the hall again. The hall is not big, but it is very warmly decorated.

On the left is a set of oval-shaped round tables, with several small stools on both sides of the table, and a very high shelf next to the wall.

There are some decorations on the shelf that were not taken away, including several small and exquisite vases and some cute little dolls.

On the right is a place for receiving guests and drinking tea. There is an identical high shelf in the corner.

There are not many things in the whole house, and the whole hall seems very spacious and comfortable.

This house is also a brick building. The original owner took good care of this house and it looks much better than other houses outside.

The house has a total of 4 main rooms and 3 side rooms, as well as a utility room, a kitchen and a small bathroom.

The house is not large, but there are so many rooms inside that it can accommodate even a family of more than a dozen people.

Although the rooms are not big, the furniture inside is well laid out and does not look small, but very cozy.

It seemed that the original owner of the house was a very ingenious and interesting person. Ye Qingqing really wanted to meet the original person who lived in this house.

Ye's father is a know-it-all in the town, and Ye Qingqing plans to ask Ye's father about the original owner of the house when he goes back.

The backyard was about the same size as the front yard. There were several fruit trees on the left side of the yard. Ye Qingqing looked carefully and saw that there were jujube trees, peach trees, persimmon trees and pear trees.

A little further on from the fruit trees, there is a shed in the far corner that looks like a donkey shed.

There is a small flowerbed between the donkey shed and the fruit trees. There are some flowers planted in the flowerbed that Ye Qingqing doesn't recognize, but they are quite beautiful.

On the other side of the backyard is the area for drying clothes, and near the door is the area for drying clothes.

Further forward, there is a large open space with bluestone slabs on the ground, which can be used to dry other things on weekdays.

The whole house is very warmly decorated, making people feel very comfortable and very suitable for living.

Ye Qingqing quite likes it. It would be quite comfortable to live here.

Seeing that Ye Qingqing liked this house, Mr. Ye thought that if he bought this house, it would be a good dowry for Ye Qingqing in the future.

But the Tang family father and son were also here, and Mr. Ye didn't say much to Ye Qingqing. He planned to go back to discuss it at night.

Xiao Li was very happy to see that several people were quite satisfied with the house. It seemed that there was a lot of commission today.

Xiao Li raised the corners of his mouth, showing a bright smile, and strongly recommended it to several people.

"The houses in Rongshu Lane are usually seven-tenths of a land in size. This house is the last one at the end of the alley, so it is only five-fifths in size."

"Although this house is smaller than other houses in the alley, it is small and well-equipped with everything you need, and the price is very affordable."

Tang Xiaojing originally thought that this small house was nice, it was quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, and the price was right. It's a bit small, but the sparrow has all the internal organs even though it's small.

Seeing that Ye Qingqing liked it again, Tang Xiaojing even winked at Tangshan several times.

Tangshan also thinks this house is good, and the price of this house plus the house at the end of the alley is exactly 250 taels.

Tangshan went out with 260 taels, and the remaining 10 taels were just used to pay local taxes and apply for a house deed.

However, there were other shops and houses that he had not looked at, so Tangshan could not make a decision so quickly and urged Xiao Li to go to the next place quickly.

On the oxcart, Mr. Ye asked Tang Xiaojing which house he was more optimistic about.

"The best one is of course the one at the end of the alley with a bunkhouse in the back, but the small house at the end of the alley is also good."

At present, Tang Xiaojing thinks these two houses are the best, and he has enough money, so he wants to buy them both.

In fact, Mr. Ye had already noticed that Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing were interested in the house at the end of the alley. Unexpectedly, they also liked the small house.

So Mr. Ye gave up the idea of ​​buying a small house as a dowry for Ye Qingqing.

The house with a shop in front and a house in the back at the end of the alley is indeed very nice. Mr. Ye thinks that the Tang family will definitely buy the house at the end of the alley.

The two houses were too close. Thinking of this, Mr. Ye didn't want to buy this house for Ye Qingqing as a dowry house.

The dowry house was a way out for Ye Qingqing. If it was next door to the Tang family, it would be troublesome if they separated in the future.

It would be great if the Tang family bought the two houses on Rongshu Lane together. They would be close to each other and easier to manage.

Ye Qingqing likes this small house, and it would be the same if the Tang family bought it. Anyway, she will marry into the Tang family in the future, and this house will also belong to her.

Then a few people went to Bei Street and looked at two small shops on Bei Street.

North Street is populated by well-known and wealthy families in the town. It can be said that the shops and houses here are the most expensive in Luohe Town.

However, Mr. Ye doesn't want to buy a shop or a house on North Street. People who live here are either rich or expensive and can easily get into trouble.

If you accidentally offend a noble person, you may have a difficult time in the future.

But even though you are here, you still have to take a look and compare it with other shops and houses.

The first shop was a small shop of 20 square meters on the street. It used to be a rouge and gouache business.

Ye Qingqing thought it was nothing special, but he didn't expect it to cost 160 taels.

Although the location is good and it looks quite new, it is so small. How can it be worth 160 taels?

There is also a shop of about 30 square meters, which is the fourth shop from the end of the street.

The shop used to be a cloth shop, specializing in selling expensive fabrics popular in the county.

But after all, it is at the end of the street, and the flow of people is less than that of the small shops on the street, but it is not cheap, costing 185 taels.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing also didn't like these two shops. Just like the big shop in the market, such an expensive shop would probably not be rented out in the future.

But Ye Qingqing simply thought it was too expensive.

A few people looked at it twice and left. They really couldn't afford such an expensive shop.
