A quarter of an hour later, the old couple, who had been chatting for a while, and Huang Daozhou's family of three sat on a bench in the main room and had a friendly negotiation.

The structure and furnishings in the hall of the Huang family are very common in Sanshui County.

A "parent's cabinet" contains a horse-headed clock, an incense burner, a candlestick, a pair of plum vases and a portrait of a young man. Looking at the young man's appearance in the portrait, he should be Mr. Huang's son.

There is a large square table with a date, four "stools" and two Taishi chairs.

The main room is separated from the east and west rooms by wooden walls. There are not many simple furnishings in the room, giving it a relatively spacious feel.

Huang Daozhou spoke quickly and expressed his intention to buy it, and promised to pay the cash in one lump sum, asking for some concessions.

The old couple refused to give up the price, but they were honest with each other and told Huang Daozhou.

Although they had saved a little money, they had to buy too many things to live in the provincial capital, and the cost of living there was much higher than in Sanshui County. They were very nervous without any money.

Huang Han looked carefully at these houses and found that there were not many cluttered things in the house. It was possible that the couple had already been preparing to move and some of the clutter had already been given away.

Seeing that the negotiations between Huang Daozhou and the old couple were at a stalemate, Huang Han opened his mouth and said

"Grandpa, grandma, I would like to ask if your square table, stools, kitchenware, water tank, and bed are included in the nine hundred yuan and sold to my family together? If so, we will not bargain. "

Huang Daozhou was reminded by Huang Han, yes!

There is not even a dining table in the house. The square table and stools are very heavy and must be made of good wood. It costs at least fifteen yuan to buy such a set at a thrift store. It is impossible to come across such good products.

If you spend 900 yuan to buy the furniture, it should be equivalent to paying back close to 100 yuan.

Huang Daozhou said, "If you are going to the provincial capital, you will definitely not be able to take away the furniture in the house. I lack these things at home. If you leave them to my family, I will not bargain."

The old couple looked at each other, and then said, "Please wait, we will go in to discuss it."

Seeing the old couple entering the room, Huang Han lowered his voice and said

"Dad, Mom, if this old couple only pack their clothes and take them away, and leave all the furniture, pots and pans to my house, you can add a few dozen yuan, but if you can't, add a hundred or a hundred and fifty yuan."

Huang Han didn't know much about antiques, but when he saw the bowls and basins in his kitchen, at least one-third of them must be old.

This large carved bed actually looks like a small house with three entrances. It must be more than a hundred years old. If you keep it and protect it, it might be worth a lot of money in the future.

After a while, the old couple came out. Mr. Huang pointed to the "parent's cabinet", the table, and the two Taishi chairs, and said

"You are all real people, and I can see that you sincerely want to buy my house.

I don't have to hide it and tell you the truth.

We really can't take these furniture, as well as the "chest of drawers", "high cupboard", "three drops of water carved bed" in the back room, cupboards in the kitchen and other miscellaneous furniture and belongings, and want to sell them.

I asked a comrade from the thrift store to take a look at it two months ago. The person who came to the thrift store was a distant relative of the family. He was very responsible and took a very serious look at it.

After looking at it for a long time before appraising it, he told me clearly that if these furniture were consigned, they might be able to sell for more than 200 yuan, but it was not certain when they would be sold.

If we are in a hurry and need money, he can ask the manager of the thrift store for instructions. It is estimated that the store can buy it all for 150 yuan.

Since your family is also interested in these furniture, we are not my mother-in-law's family.

Let's do this, the price is one thousand yuan, and we only get clothes, bedding, a horse-head clock and two camphor wood boxes.

The furniture in the house, including pots and pans, a briquette stove, a water vat, a pair of lotus vats and those flower pots in the yard are all left to you."

Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen were not mentally prepared to buy all the belongings in the house. They didn't know for a while whether it was worth spending an extra hundred yuan if the price of the house had not come down yet. Look at me, I look at you.

Huang Han didn't want to waste any more time bargaining. One hundred yuan to buy such a big place on South Street was already a good deal, and one to two hundred yuan to buy all the family's belongings was an insane deal.

People must not be greedy and should stop it in moderation!

Huang Han was the first to speak, "Dad, you can see that grandpa and grandma are both gentlemen. This price is very fair, so let's just settle it, okay?"

Huang Daozhou was also an honest man. When he saw that his son had agreed, he didn't say anything and nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to specify the number of furniture, pots, pans, and water tanks, and create a written receipt.

I will first give you 200 yuan as the money to buy the furniture. I have stated that the house will be sold for 800 yuan. You have to come forward and ask the old neighbor to sign and fingerprint as a witness. I am willing to give one yuan as a family to the neighbor who is willing to witness as a reward for the hard work.

fee."

"That's not right, that's not right, Lao Huang! It's not good to give a dollar to your neighbor. It's a bit insulting.

You don’t need to take care of this, we will come to your door and tell your neighbors, just give them a pack of cigarettes.”

"That's right. Mr. Huang is very considerate. Let's do this. I'll bring four packages of 'Shanghai Daqianmen' to you later."

"Hmm! I'm sure you can get such good cigarettes. When are you going to write the document?"

"Mr. Huang, buying a house is a big deal. To be honest, most of the money my family spent on buying a house was borrowed. In order to avoid disputes in the future, I would also like to ask you to accompany me to the "Huangchen Neighborhood Committee" where my household registration is located to get a seal and make a statement.

witness."

"We have no problem, but it may not be easy to get the official seal!"

"You don't need to worry about this. I will go to the neighborhood committee later to say hello and make an appointment."

"Okay, we are all retired and stay at home. We don't choose the time. You can make an appointment to talk about it."

Zhang Fangfen had money with her, but she didn't take 900 yuan, because she knew that she should give a deposit first, and then pay the full money to buy the house after signing the house deed.

There were three hundred yuan in her pocket, and she counted out two hundred yuan and put it on the large square table.

Huang Daozhou said, "Mr. Huang, if you accept the two hundred yuan, it will be considered as a deposit. Just give me a receipt stating the price we negotiated. We will try to complete the procedures within two or three days. At that time

Give me another eight hundred yuan."

The old couple are also very happy. The house has been looking for a buyer for more than three months. Not many people came to see it, and they all thought it was too expensive.

Huang Daozhou's family has already paid a deposit of two hundred yuan. Even if the house is sold, the price is not bad. Finally, they don't have to worry about this matter, and the old couple will be happy.

It is a big deal for his son to go to school, and Huang Daozhou cannot let Huang Han miss school for an entire afternoon.

Seeing that it was getting late, he said to Zhang Fangfen, "Fangfen, it's getting late. I'll send Huang Han to school first. You can chat with Mr. Huang here and count the items that should be given to our family. I'll

Be back soon."

Huang Han originally planned not to go to school this afternoon, but seeing Huang Daozhou's attitude, he decisively shut up and sat on his bicycle obediently.
