Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy
Chapter 415 Buying a courtyard
The gate of this courtyard looks a bit old, but you can still tell that the decoration here was quite exquisite in the past. It was only later neglected and no one took care of it for a long time that it became like this.
After entering the gate, the layout is the same as that of Zhang Jialiang's courtyard. There is also a row of back houses. After passing the back houses, you come to a hanging flower gate. After entering the hanging flower gate is the front yard. There are corridors on both sides of the hanging flower gate, connecting the wing rooms and the main house.
This courtyard has one room on the east and west wing, and one main room. The room here is not a simple room, but a suite with three rooms connected together, which is similar to the layout of the courtyard where he lives.
After entering the front yard, a man in his 60s soon came over. He looked quite elegant.
However, he seemed a little weak. He should be an educated man, but he probably suffered a lot in that special era and developed a chronic illness that caused him to look like this now.
"Hello comrade, is your surname Zhang?
Are you here to look at the house?"
Zhang Jialiang quickly stepped forward to shake hands.
"Yes, my last name is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Jialiang. You can just call me Liangzi.
I'm here to look at the house, you must be Uncle Li."
The landlord, whose surname is Li, nodded.
“Yes, my last name is Li, and I’m the landlord here.
Let's take a look at the house first when we get here. This yard has two entrances. This yard is the front yard, and there is another one at the back. The layout is similar to here.
The entire courtyard covers an area of 450 square meters. When this courtyard was built in the early years, the materials used were very exquisite. The bricks used in the buildings here are the same as the bricks of the city walls. The wood used in the house is also good wood, and the decoration is very unique.
However, during the special period, I went to the countryside and no one took care of the yard. Now it looks a bit old and many places need repairs.
I am old, my son is abroad and he won't come back, so I want to sell this house and go abroad to join my son.
So I didn't take much trouble to take care of it, but the foundation of his yard is still there. As long as you spend a little money to tidy it up, it will be a nice yard."
Zhang Jialiang nodded.
"Uncle Li, you are right. You can tell the heritage of the place from the front gate. Once you enter the courtyard, you can see how unique the courtyard was back then.
Let's go around and look around, then we can discuss the price."
Of course, the landlord had no objection. It was normal for people to buy houses and look around.
"Come on, I'll show you around. You can go anywhere you want to see."
In fact, siheyuans are not uncommon in the capital, and their general layouts are not much different.
This courtyard is a very formal two-entry quadrangle, with a back house but no back room, covering an area of about 450 square meters. The layout of the front and back courtyards is the same, with a main house and left and right wing rooms, except that the back yard has two more ear rooms.
Zhang Jialiang and his family looked around the entire yard. How should they put it? This yard was just as the landlord had introduced. It looked a little old now, but the foundation was still there. With a little tidying up, it would become a nice yard.
The key is that the property rights of this yard are very clear, and there will be no worries after the handover.
Zhang Jialiang had already decided in his mind that he should take over this yard. After all, it was not far from his home, and he could move in after buying it and doing some tidying up.
There was no need to hesitate. He didn't plan to buy just one courtyard house. He would take it as long as he found one at a suitable price.
This time he came back from Changchun with a lot of cash in his hands, and he had to spend all of it as soon as possible. He could exchange it for gold and foreign currency, or collect antiques and buy a courtyard house.
The price of the courtyard house is relatively transparent. Uncle Li may be eager to leave the place where he was injured, or he may be eager to go abroad to find his son and grandchildren, so the price is discounted.
It was originally supposed to be 25,000, but Zhang Jialiang got it for 22,000.
After viewing the yard, Zhang Jialiang asked his second son to send his mother back. His mother was old, and the other two houses were a bit far away, so it was not suitable for her to go with them. Besides, his second son was not too interested in viewing houses, he only wanted to study antiques.
Zhang Jialiang took his eldest son and his wife, as well as his two daughters, to see the remaining two houses, and then bought them.
One of the two houses is a small courtyard house with one entrance and an area of about 200 square meters, which cost 9500 yuan, and the other is a small courtyard house with two entrances and an area of about 400 square meters, which cost 2 yuan.
After that, Zhang Jialiang went to see a lot of houses alone and selected three of them and bought them.
Two of them are one-entry houses, each covering an area of about 200 square meters, and cost about 1 yuan each; the largest one is a three-entry courtyard house, covering an area of about 700 square meters, and cost yuan.
Zhang Jialiang has no plans to renovate the other courtyard houses immediately as they are not habitable now, but he has decided to clean up the courtyard closest to his home and then move in.
Of course, they would not give up the house in Courtyard No. 95. The courtyard house was originally occupied by the eldest son and his wife. After getting married, the eldest son also needs his own space. He always feels restrained when living with his parents.
Of course, there will be houses reserved for them in the new yard. It depends on their wishes. They can live wherever they want.
The decoration of the newly purchased courtyard house was left to the eldest son, and Zhang Jialiang focused his main energy on preparations for the trip to Hong Kong.
He needed to exchange as much cash as possible into gold or foreign currency. By the time he finished his work, half a month had passed and it was already early December.
Now he has 20 large yellow croakers, 100 small yellow croakers, a total of about 10 kilograms of gold, and 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
In addition to the antlers produced in the space in the past three years, there are probably nearly one ton of antlers. In the past three years, he has not sold them outside, but accumulated them and prepared to bring them to Hong Kong. He can earn much more by selling them in Hong Kong than in the mainland.
As for the formalities required to go to Hong Kong, Zhang Jialiang also completed them. Later, when he was doing business with Boss Guo in Changchun, Zhang Jialiang also raised a condition, which was that he needed to issue an invitation letter.
With the invitation letter from the Hong Kong company, it will be much easier to handle the exit procedures and passport.
When everything was almost ready, a few younger members of the family suddenly came to visit.
Among them were his own daughter Xiaojiu, his eldest sister’s second son Chen Aidang, his second sister’s second son Ke Weiguo, his fourth sister’s eldest son Bai Hongjun, and that stinky boy named Zhao Yiming.
The children came to his house together, and his daughter Xiaojiu asked Zhang Jialiang seriously:
"Dad, I have something to ask of you, I hope you can agree to it."
When Zhang Jialiang saw Xiaojiu's serious attitude, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his precious daughter and this brat named Zhao Yiming were coming to confront him?
