I don't want to be a cowboy

Chapter 24

Chen Ye owns a well-decorated small villa with a superior environment and a large yard in a daze.But if he really let him live in by himself, he really couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and he always felt like he had sold himself in exchange for it.

But this time, it didn't bother him for long. Within two days, someone called him, expressing that he wanted to buy that house.Chen Ye wanted to refuse directly without even thinking about it. Even now, Chen Ye still doesn't think that the house belongs to him. Chen Ye thinks that he should have no right to dispose of property that does not belong to him.

However, the other party spoke sincerely, and in the end it was too difficult for Chen Ye to refuse directly, so the two sides made an appointment for a face-to-face interview.

When the appointed time came, Chen Ye met the person who called before at the appointed place.After meeting and talking with someone for a long time, I don't know what to do, and the result of the conversation turned out to be that he and the other party agreed to "change rooms".

The so-called "swapping houses" does not mean "selling" one's own and "buying" the other party's, but renting the villa to the other party in the form of mutual "rental certificate", and the other party rents a small villa in a mountainous area. Let him live.When the negotiation was over, Chen Ye thought that it was not easy for him to dispose of this house, so it should be fine for him to live in it for others.

The person who decided to change rooms with Chen Ye was called Xiao Mingyu, who looked to be in his forties, and through conversation, Chen Ye knew that the other party was a businessman in the medicinal materials business.It is to collect fresh medicinal materials from drug farmers, conduct preliminary processing through their own factories, and then sell them to those pharmaceutical factories or traditional Chinese medicine stores.Because the price of Chinese herbal medicines has been increasing rapidly in recent years, Xiao Mingyu's assets are already considerable. Of course, the last point was pondered by Chen Ye himself in private.Judging from the other party's attitude of wanting to buy his house, there was no intention of haggling at all, and seeing that Chen Ye didn't let go, the price rose sharply from his mouth.The price quoted at the end had completely frightened Chen Ye.Chen Ye raised his hand to interrupt the other party's eloquent lobbying.

"Mr. Xiao, wait a minute. I already know that you have a strong desire to buy that house. However, as far as I know, there seem to be several villas in that community that have not been sold. The area seems to be about the same as this set, why do you think about my set so persistently?"

When Xiao Mingyu heard Chen Ye's inquiry, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently, and slowly revealed the reason why he only valued the current house.

According to Xiao Mingyu's explanation, after several years of development, he can now be regarded as a relatively successful businessman.Xiao Mingyu is very filial, and when he was rich, he took his old parents from far north to take care of them and live with him. If he had any headaches, he could take care of them nearby. After all, his parents were old, and he was not very comfortable living in his hometown. rest assured.

Before, he also wanted to take over his parents many times, but on the one hand, the old man’s homeland was difficult to leave, on the other hand, he was really reluctant to part with the few acres of land at home, especially his father, the old man had planted the land all his life. It's possible, after persuading him for a long time, the old man finally said that it's not impossible to come and live together, but he must prepare a few acres of land so that the old man can continue to "work".

The old man's condition seems to be quite simple, but it is quite difficult to realize it.Xiao Mingyu's current home is in Liangang City, don't even think about a few acres of land in the urban area, and it's hard to find in the suburbs. Now the land price here is also very high, and those real estate developers have no land to build in the urban area. Afterwards, the land in the outskirts of the city and even a large area farther away was targeted by them. Xiao Mingyu was still a small role in the eyes of real estate developers, and he absolutely couldn't snatch food from them.However, there are big problems in buying land further away. Firstly, the land farther away is no longer under the jurisdiction of Liangang, and it belongs to cultivated land. It is very troublesome to buy it. The urban area is far away, and if my father wants to go to the field every day, he has to run at both ends. The old man can't stand this kind of tossing, and he must find a house for the two elders to live on the edge of the field.Renting a house is much cheaper, and there are no complicated procedures, but Xiao Mingyu is worried about letting the elderly live in rural houses. He takes them back to let them enjoy the blessings, not to go back to the countryside to suffer.And if you want to build a house yourself, you don’t have a local rural household registration, so you don’t have a homestead. Now the issue of protecting cultivated land here is very important to the government. It’s not impossible to approve the land with his energy, but the price is too high. It is a bit difficult to afford the financial ability, and it is not small to build the house so that the second elder can live comfortably and satisfy him.So this matter has been dragged on for a few years. Until the past two years, with the sharp increase in the price of Chinese herbal medicines, Xiao Mingyu's pockets instantly bulged, and the above problems are no longer so difficult to solve.

Therefore, Xiao Mingyu contracted a piece of land 170 kilometers away from Liangang, near the mountainous area, with a small area of ​​only about five acres. He built a house for his parents and built a small farm.And this small farm is the target that Xiao Mingyu is going to exchange with Chen Ye.

After the house was built, Xiao Mingyu took his parents there, and the old couple were very satisfied with the place.Especially the old man can not only work in the fields anytime and anywhere every day, but also take a fishing rod to the river to fish when he is in the mood.Life is pretty good, Xiao Mingyu and his wife usually drive to the farm on weekends in Liangang, fulfilling his family's wish to work without delay.However, things in this world cannot always go smoothly. Xiao Mingyu ignored the old man's age, and his father also optimistically estimated his physical condition.

One morning, when the old man was working in the field, he passed out on the edge of the field.Fortunately, it was the weekend, and Xiao Mingyu and his wife were there. It was obviously unrealistic to call the ambulance at that time. The nearest emergency center was in Liangang, and the ambulance traveled more than 300 kilometers to and fro. Although the road conditions were good, it also took a lot of time. Xiao Mingyu finally drove his father to the hospital by himself. More than 100 kilometers, let him soar in an hour.Afterwards, the traffic police ticket was enough to earn an ordinary family's income for a month.

Finally, it was delivered in time, and the old man is not a big problem, but he has been exposed to the sun for a long time and suffered from heat stroke.After a day of infusion, I can be discharged from the hospital on the same day.Although this incident was minor and did not cause any serious consequences, it sounded the alarm in Xiao Mingyu's heart.The farm is too far away from the urban area. My parents are old and have some physical problems. It is really dangerous to rush to the hospital.

Therefore, Xiao Mingyu persuaded his parents to go back to Liangang and live with him.It will be much easier to deal with any problems that arise at that time.However, the old man was as stubborn as a cow, and he firmly disagreed to live in the coffin box (the old man's collective name for various buildings in the city).If there is no land to plant, it will kill him.Xiao Mingyu pointed out that a rooftop vegetable garden could be built on the roof of his house.The old man looked down on it, saying it was nonsense, hanging in mid-air and not being able to catch the earth at all.For the old man Xiao Mingyu who has been stubborn all his life, there is nothing he can do.He worried about this for a long time, and then one day, his wife saw the real estate introduction of "Haibo Mountain Rhyme", and one of the selling points mentioned in it was a villa with a spacious courtyard.After further inquiry, some villas have a garden area of ​​five or six hundred square meters, which is almost as large as one mu of land.Xiao Mingyu quickly took the real estate brochure to fool his own father.One mu of land is not small, enough for his old man to toss about, and he can grow vegetables and trees.In fact, the old man can understand his son's mood, knowing that what happened last time scared him.So when I heard that there was an acre of land that could be planted, I thought that my health was not as good as before, so I agreed to move.

However, Xiao Mingyu had just persuaded his old man to rush to inquire about buying a house, but the other end was told that the villa with an acre of land had already been sold.He can look at other houses.Xiao Mingyu was a little dumbfounded. He used a large yard of one mu of land to fool his father. Although other villas also have yards, the yards are much smaller, at most two to three hundred square meters.In fact, it is enough to enjoy farming, but thinking of his "dead-brained" father, he is afraid that he will regret it when he says that the yard has shrunk from one acre to half an acre.The fact is indeed the case, as soon as he snooped from the sidelines, the old man quit immediately.People are not happy to move.This is okay, there is no other way, Xiao Mingyu tried every means to get the phone number of Chen Ye, the current owner of the one-acre yard from the developer, and wanted to discuss it to see if the other party would agree to transfer it.
