Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 12 Selling a House
After mid-October, the autumn wind gradually rises.
Jiang You took the water pipe and washed the yard.
Chen Nan put on a beige sweater and stood by the gate. "Are you ready to redo it?"
"I've been resting for a long time." Jiang You walked back to the pond and turned off the water. He turned and looked at Chen Nan. "It's so bald. It makes me uncomfortable just looking at it."
"Where is Jiang Mo?" Chen Nan asked.
"He's playing games upstairs. I bought him a PS4, but now he ignores me when I call him."
"Nowadays, all kids love playing games. Yunyun is no exception. She uses all kinds of tricks to get my phone from me."
"When he goes to school, we will restrict him from playing."
"Didn't you ask me last time to see if anyone in my neighborhood wanted to sell a house?"
"Yeah, the house in Clearwater Bay, is there anyone who wants to sell it?"
"I heard that, too."
Chen Nan walked slowly into the store along the bluestone road, with Jiang You following behind her.
"They are an elderly couple. Their daughter is in the United States and got citizenship many years ago. She gave birth to two children. They went there to help take care of the children in the past few years," Chen Nan leaned against the long table. "They will return to China next month. They said they are too old to run around, so they want to sell the house this time. They probably won't come back in the future. It's the building next to my house, on the third floor."
"Next month," Jiang You walked into the kitchen and washed his hands. "The third floor is pretty good. They'll ask for full payment, right? I just put the unit in Lanxinyuan up for sale."
"If you're in a hurry to sell it, the price might be cheaper."
"I'll take a look and buy it if it's suitable."
Jiang You made two cups of black tea and walked out holding one cup in each hand. "Have you finished the peanuts from last time? Would you like to take some back?"
Chen Nan shook his head. "I got so tired of eating it that I sprinkled a handful of peanuts in the porridge I cooked later. It took me a long time to finish it."
Jiang You put the cup on the table.
The skin on the forearms has smoothed out a bit, but the color is still very uneven.
Chen Nan took a sip of tea and said, "The tea leaves are good. Where did you get them?"
"I bought it at Panning this time. If you like it, take a bag home?"
"Okay, I'll make fish soup tonight, would you like to come over and have a bowl?"
"I miss you so much. I miss the dishes you cook every day when I'm out there."
After watering for a few days , although the yard was still bare, it seemed to have a little more life.
Jiang You asked his neighbor, Mr. Yin, to borrow his car to go to Liumu Flower and Bird Market. He brought back a few pots of chrysanthemums and three pomegranate trees, and found a lawn specialist, selected green grass, and agreed to have them come to lay the lawn in two days.
Place some succulents and chrysanthemums, and plant the pomegranate tree.
Jiang You bit his popsicle and patrolled the yard.
"You can't recover overnight."
It was almost evening when he received a call from Zhou Liang.
"Brother Jiang, someone has taken a fancy to your house."
"Have you seen the house?"
"I took him to see it this afternoon. He was very satisfied and also satisfied with the price."
"Okay, I'll come over now."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang You went upstairs to get his bag. He pushed open the door of the second bedroom and saw Jiang Mo sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a game controller in his hand, staring at the screen without blinking.
On the screen, two football teams were playing.
"I'm going to go out for a while, do you want to go out for a walk?"
After the game ended, Jiang Mo put down the controller.
He stepped into his shoes, Jiang You helped him tie his shoelaces and picked him up.
"I think you've gained weight."
I took a taxi to Liantong Real Estate Agency.
Zhou Liang saw Jiang You holding Jiang Mo getting out of the car through the glass door. He opened the door and went out to greet them. "Brother Jiang, you're here. The client is talking to the boss inside."
"What kind of person is he?"
"He looks quite young and seems to work nearby. He seems to want the full payment. He must be a rich second-generation."
"Rich second generation is good, I'm short of money," Jiang You put Jiang Mo down, "Nowadays, raising a child requires money everywhere."
Zhou Liang looked down at Jiang Mo, "Whose child is this? Quite cute."
"My son."
Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and found that Jiang You had already walked in with Jiang Mo, so he hurriedly followed.
Walking into the reception room, Li Ronggao stood up after seeing him and said, "Xiao Jiang, you are here. Come on, this is Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Yunxian also stood up.
Jiang You looked at him. He was tall and thin, with narrow eyes and a somewhat gloomy temperament.
Jiang Yunxian also looked at Jiang You.
Very ordinary.
His eyes fell on Jiang Mo.
Li Ronggao introduced them to each other.
After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down.
Li Ronggao handed Jiang You a cigarette, and Jiang You pointed at Jiang Mo, "He's not in good health."
Li Ronggao took it back and asked, "Are you helping your relatives take care of their children?"
"No, it's my son."
"Your son? We have known each other for so many years, where did you come from..."
"Yes, the adopted one is called Jiang Mo, Jiang Mo, and this is Uncle Li."
Jiang Mo raised his head and glanced at Li Ronggao.
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Yunxian asked.
“He’s more of an introvert.”
Zhou Liang poured a glass of water into a disposable cup and placed it next to Jiang You. Jiang You picked up the cup and drank a sip of water.
He asked, "Do you want to buy my house?"
"Yes."
"Have you seen it?"
“I have.”
"Then I want to make it clear to you. The previous tenant of this house committed suicide, not in my house, but at his workplace. The next tenant was not very hygienic. He left a smell and it took me a long time to clean it up. He also threw away all the furniture. The tenant also compensated me with several thousand yuan, and I didn't even return his deposit. Because of these two situations, my price is a little lower than others."
"this……"
"I like to do business clearly, so that you don't regret it after buying it after hearing what your neighbors say."
"Boss Li has told me all about this. I don't care about these things. The main thing is that it's close and the price is affordable."
"That's good. According to the rules, you have to pay both taxes and agency fees."
Jiang Yunxian agreed without thinking, "Sure."
Li Ronggao glanced at Jiang You's expression and asked, "So I should start working on the contract?"
"Sure, I'll just sit and get the money anyway. Just let me know a day in advance when and I'll be there."
While Xiao Zhou and Li Ronggao were working on the contract, Jiang You and Jiang Yunxian started chatting.
"What kind of job do you do? It's impressive to pay in full."
"I work in finance."
"No wonder, why don't you buy the new building next door? It has an elevator, a high plot ratio, good greenery and property management."
"This place is quite popular and has a lively atmosphere," Jiang Yunxian looked at Jiang Mo, "May I ask, is this kid a little autistic?"
Jiang You was silent for a moment, then he said, "He is just introverted."
"I know an expert who says that in this case, the earlier the intervention, the better. If you wait until your child starts elementary school..."
“What experts say may not be correct.”
