Chapter 337 Viewing a House
Li's mother looked at him happily, "Ah Le, how much can the Fire Dragon Ball be sold for?"

"An oyster pearl that size only sells for two or three hundred yuan. A dragon pearl that's a bit bigger than a lentil and not round, I think it's worth only thirty or forty yuan at most."

"Then don't sell it. Keep it there until it grows big, then send it back to him and ask." Mother Li said as she handed him the beads.

"Yes, there are small ones and big ones. I'll pick them up and open them next time I see them."

"Did you forget that there are still two left to open?"

Chen Yongwei hurriedly took the remaining two, and several people pinched them with hope. In the end, there was nothing but snail meat, not even a bead as big as a rice grain.

Li Changle and the others began to clean up the mess. The three conch shells had been cleaned, and the large yellow snail had a good color, so they were also cleaned and put away.

Grandma Chen smiled and said, "The mission is accomplished, and we should go back to sleep."

"Let's go together." Mother Li then remembered that her granddaughter and grandson had not returned yet. "Afang, where are Xiaoqing and Xiaohui?"

"They must have gone to Jin Pengfei's house to watch TV again. They come back one by one and don't come back unless you call them."

Mrs. Li walked hurriedly to the entrance of the courtyard and roared like a lion towards the Jin family's yard. After a while, a group of children ran out of the Jin family.

"You don't have school tomorrow? You wouldn't even know where to go home if I didn't invite you!"

"If you want to talk about something, we'll just stay at Ah Fei's house for a while longer."

"You little brat, you're the only one who has a lot of tricks!" Mrs. Li smiled and patted him, "Hurry up and take a shower, and take your brother with you."

Li Xiaoyang didn't hear the expected scolding, and felt a little strange. He whispered to Li Xiaoqing: "Dad and Third Uncle must have made a lot of money. Mom is easier to talk to than during the Chinese New Year."

Li Xiaoqing nodded, "It's possible!"

"Xiaoqing, Xiaohui, we're leaving." Mother Li and Grandma Chen came out with flashlights.

"Hey!" The two sisters hurriedly followed.

Zhou Ruonan and her sister-in-law were busy mixing hot water for the children to take a bath, while Li Changle and his two brothers went back to their rooms to rest.

He put the beads and shells away, kicked off his shoes, and lay down on the bed. Although he still had the swaying feeling of lying in the cabin, he no longer had to keep one eye open every time he fell asleep to prevent the sea from causing trouble.

"It's still more comfortable to sleep on the bed at home." Li Changle stretched out his legs comfortably and sighed comfortably.

Zhou Ruonan brought her two sons back to the room and saw Li Changle sleeping soundly without even putting down the mosquito net. He did not react even when a few mosquitoes were biting his arms and legs to suck his blood.

He quickly picked up his clothes to drive away the mosquitoes, and turned his head to ask his two sons to speak in a low voice and move more gently.

"Shh!" Li Xiaohai quickly made a gesture to his brother to keep quiet. Li Xiaozhou nodded sensibly, gently put down his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and fell on his little pillow.

Zhou Ruonan drove away the mosquitoes on her son's bed, tucked in the mosquito net, then went to bed, turned on the light, and quickly fell asleep listening to his snoring.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by Li Changle's kiss. The man's strong breath rushed towards her. Zhou Ruonan's heartbeat quickened and her face suddenly became hot. She reached out and hugged his strong waist...

The next morning, when Li Changle woke up, he stretched out his hand and touched nothing. He heard voices outside, turned his head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and found that it was already seven o'clock.

Suddenly I remembered that I fell asleep as soon as I returned to my room last night, and woke up in the middle of the night to do some work. I hadn't yet told Anan about buying a house, so I got up, got my clothes and put on.

After I put on my clothes and pants, beads of sweat appeared on my neck. It was so hot and stuffy early in the morning. The weather might really change.

I put on my shoes and went out, just in time to see Zhou Ruonan coming out of the kitchen with a group of children.

"Anan, wait a minute, I have something to discuss with you."

"You go first, mom will catch up later." Zhou Ruonan said to the children and went into the house, "What's the hurry? Can't you wait until I get off work?"

"It's a bit urgent!" Li Changle closed the door and pulled her to sit down. "Uncle Kun said... I want to buy it. What do you think?"

Zhou Ruonan frowned and said, "The location and area are good, but more than 9,000, isn't it too expensive?"

"The price is a bit high, but there are very few houses for sale on that street. I heard from Uncle Kun that a comprehensive market will be built there in the future, so the future appreciation prospects should not be bad."

"I still think it's expensive. It would be better if it could be cheaper."

"I'll go and get the price. It would be best if it's cheaper. If not, we'll just buy it. What do you think?"

Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes at him, "Then what are you discussing with me? You earned the money, you must buy it, what else can I say."

"Are you angry, wife?" Li Changle hurriedly hugged her waist and said, "Believe me, the appreciation prospects of a house with a shop in front and a yard in the back are definitely good.

Not to mention anything else, just based on the monthly rent of 70 yuan for the two shops at the end of the street, the rent for twelve months would be 840 yuan, and the principal would be earned back in ten years or so.

Maybe it won’t take more than ten years. When the market is built and more and more people do business, the rent of one year can earn back the money for buying a house in a few years. "If it is true, buying a shop is of course the safest way, but I am afraid that the policy will change back to the past. I am afraid that you and my father..." Zhou Ruonan's eyes were red, and she leaned on his shoulder and dared not say anything.

"Don't be afraid, honey. It won't change back. Uncle Kun said... it will only become more and more open in the future and won't go back to the old ways. If the policies really keep changing, Boss Gu won't dare to buy land to build a factory."

Li Changle patted her on the back, not daring to tell her about his rebirth. He could only repeat to her the words he had used to comfort Li's father last night.

Zhou Ruonan thought that she couldn't just do nothing because of fear, so she looked up, sniffed, and said to him:
"If you want to buy it, just buy it! If the policy changes in the future, the worst that can happen is that we just hand over the house. As long as our family is safe and sound, that's all that matters."

"Okay!" Li Changle wiped the tears off her face with his thumb. "If that's the case, we can hand over the house. I'll catch fish and you'll weave the nets, and we can still live a good life."

"Hmm!" Zhou Ruonan rubbed his nose embarrassedly, "Go and see if you can buy it. If not, save the money. Don't go out with so much money by yourself. Ask Awei or my brother to go with you."

"As ordered!"

"Hurry up and eat. I'll wash my face and go to class." After Zhou Ruonan said this, she glared at him in reproach, then picked up the cloth bag and walked to the next room.

When Li Changle came back from the toilet, he learned that Chen Yongwei had gone out to sea with Li Changshui to collect traps and jars. He put the money in a backpack, took the octopus, fish, shrimp and crabs, and rode his bike to Shuilu Zhang.

When I arrived at Lao Zhang's house, I gave him the seafood I had sent him, told him about buying diesel and ice, and then I rode my bike to Tuxia Bridge.

After rushing for a long time, he finally arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time. When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw A Kun was already waiting for him there.

After selling the octopus, kingfish, fish, shrimp and crab, they walked towards the vegetable market together.

"The owner's surname is Xie. I went with him to take a look yesterday afternoon. The shop is just across from Chen's, facing the main entrance of the vegetable market. The shop is square and I heard it was renovated the year before last."

Li Changle nodded, "The location is good, but the price is a bit high."

"It's a bit high." A Kun paused, "Looking at his expression, he might be a bit anxious. After all, it's been two or three months since the announcement, and those who have seen it all think it's too expensive.

I asked around and the one who offered the highest price offered him 8,800 yuan, but he thought it was too little and refused. As a result, it has dragged on until now and no one is willing to take it over. You can look at it later and negotiate the price with him if you want it. "

"Thank you, Uncle Kun, for running around in this hot weather for me." Li Changle said gratefully.

"Don't tell me that. I like you and I'm willing to help you run."

As they were talking, they arrived outside the shop and saw an old man with gray hair waiting at the door.

A Kun introduced the two people to each other, exchanged a few words, and followed Lao Xie into the shop.

When Li Changle went in and saw the shop, it was exactly the same as Uncle Kun had described, square. He remembered that those doing business in the village used to like to rent such shops.

Old Xie pointed to the roof and said, "There is a attic above the shop. It's very convenient for living and storing things." Then he took the two of them up the narrow wooden stairs to take a look.

There are two doors and windows in the attic, which looks quite bright. Li Changle thinks it is the best place to store dried fish.

After going downstairs, Old Xie pointed to the wall on the left side of the door and said, "There is a 1.2-meter-wide corridor over there. You can buy it and rent it out or live in it yourself, and it won't affect your entry and exit.

There is also a back door in the backyard, which leads to an alley. When the house was renovated two years ago, the bathroom and shower were ready, so it is very convenient to take a shower.

I didn’t expect that my child would be transferred to the provincial capital for work. If I had known, I wouldn’t have spent money on renovations. It would have been a waste of energy.”

Li Changle smiled and nodded, "Building a house is indeed very hard work. My family is also building a new house, and my parents are also burdened with it."

"It's hard work, but it's also happy work!" Ah Kun looked at Lao Xie with a smile, "Just be content! If my son can be half as capable as your son, I will wake up with a smile in my sleep."

"Don't be so modest. As the old saying goes, a good father will have a good son..."

Old Xie happily praised A Kun for a few words, then took the two of them to the backyard through the reserved aisle.

There was only a small patio with many flowers and plants planted in it. There was a water pressure well in the corner of the yard, two rooms on each side, the kitchen and dining room facing the shop, and the toilet and bathroom in the corner.

The layout of the backyard is similar to that of Zhou's mother's house, the difference is that the walls are made of blue bricks, not the old brick and wood structure. Outside the back door is an alley and there is no vegetable garden.

The three of them looked around and came out. A Kun looked at Li Changle, "What do you think?"

"The house is indeed very good, but the only downside is that it's too expensive." Li Changle said bluntly.

After hearing this, Old Xie said, "Xiao Li, you think it's too expensive now, but in a few years you will definitely thank me for selling the house to you. If my son hadn't been transferred to the provincial capital, I wouldn't have been willing to sell it no matter how much money I was given."

Li Changle smiled and handed over a cigarette, "Uncle Xie, this price is indeed quite expensive. If the price is lower, I will buy it if it is suitable."

"It's not less. I spent a lot of money on the renovation. I also installed an electric water heater and a new stove. It cost several thousand yuan."
