A widower's entertainment

Chapter 247 [Prodigal Father] (Subscribe)
The two courtyard houses were finally bought by Lin Youcheng at a high price of 79,000 yuan!
In 1988, he bought two courtyard houses for nearly yuan.

It’s so cool!

Although Lin Youcheng knew that he would have to spend money to renovate the two courtyards later, he felt that the cost was nothing. After all, his savings were sufficient.

Even if he wanted three more courtyard houses, he could still afford it, especially since Lin Youcheng knew very well that there would be very few opportunities to buy a courtyard house at such a price in the future.

I don’t know how high the price will go in two years.

Although Aunt Zhao didn't understand why Lin Youcheng would want to spend such a large sum of money to buy those two dilapidated courtyard houses, she didn't say much. After all, this was Lin Youcheng's family affair.

As for what Lin Youcheng and Aunt Zhao said about planning to buy three courtyard houses and prepare one for each child, Aunt Zhao really found it difficult to understand.

If Aunt Zhao didn't know that Lin Youcheng was a writer, she would have suspected that Lin Youcheng was not in his right mind. With such money, why didn't he buy a house instead of a shabby courtyard house?

Even if you are preparing a wedding house for your children, you should buy an apartment.

Lin Youcheng thanked Aunt Zhao and originally wanted to give her some money as a thank you. However, it was obvious that Aunt Zhao, as the director of the street office, was not doing it for the money. Instead, she was kind-hearted and helped Lin Youcheng to find out more.

Lin Youcheng also bought some gifts to thank Aunt Zhao.

"Dad, I heard you bought another yard?"

Lin Zhaoxi looked at Lin Youcheng and asked curiously.

Lin Youcheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes."

"Why?"

"Because you will all get married and have your own families in the future."

Lin Youcheng replied with a smile.

When Lin Zhaoxi heard what Lin Youcheng said, he was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about what Lin Youcheng said, that they would all have their own families in the future.

"Dad, we'll live together when we grow up, and we'll take care of you."

Seeing Lin Zhaoxi's serious expression, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but find it a little funny and said, "Xier, Dad knows that you are all good children."

As for living together, Lin Youcheng found it difficult.

Of course, Lin Youcheng also knew that although he was a good kid, he also had his own ideas. If it were not for this, Lin Youcheng would not have asked Aunt Zhao to find out if there was anyone else who wanted to sell a courtyard house.

That is to say, what worries us is not the scarcity of resources but the injustice.

It is not easy to divide three courtyard houses among six children, so it is better to give each of them one room. As for which courtyard house to get among the six courtyard houses, Lin Youcheng thinks the children can decide for themselves when they grow up. If they still quarrel over the size and location of the courtyard house, then don't blame him as an unkind father.

Lin Youcheng felt that it was not that he was unkind, but that he was a failure as a father.

Although the two courtyard houses were bought, Lin Youcheng knew very well that he had to find someone to renovate them and the wooden sheds built inside had to be demolished.

Although the two courtyards were old and dilapidated, their general structure was similar to the one where Lin Youcheng and his family lived now, except that the area was not as large as this one, and there were no trees in the yard. There was no way around it, because trees were not planted in large courtyards, after all, they took up space. Lin Youcheng thought about planting trees in the yard later.

The two courtyards are only about two kilometers away from here on foot, and of course the straight-line distance is shorter.

Lin Youcheng was planning to find someone to renovate the two courtyard houses. He couldn't just keep the houses there untouched.

While Lin Youcheng was preparing to find someone to renovate the courtyard house, Zhang Wei came to ask about the subsequent manuscript.

"You haven't finished writing the manuscript yet?"

Zhang Wei was a little surprised when he heard that Lin Youcheng hadn't finished writing the manuscript. After all, he didn't come to urge him to write, but he believed that Lin Youcheng was fast at writing. "I've been busy with the Siheyuan these days. I still need to find someone to revise it."

Zhang Wei was a little surprised when he heard what Lin Youcheng said, and asked, "Did you really buy another courtyard house?"

Zhang Wei had known for a long time that Lin Youcheng was planning to buy another courtyard house, but he did not expect that Lin Youcheng was actually willing to spend money to buy another courtyard house.

"Yes, but both courtyards are dilapidated and need to be renovated."

"Or two sets?"

"Yes, it is!"

Zhang Wei was secretly shocked, fearing that the price of these two courtyard houses would not be lower than the one Lin Youcheng bought before.

"If you know of anyone who wants to buy a courtyard house, please let me know. I plan to prepare some for them."

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows, genuinely surprised, and said the same thing as Aunt Zhao.

"You're preparing too early. Even if you want to prepare, you might as well buy a commercial property."

Lin Youcheng smiled but said nothing. He was not in a hurry to buy the commercial housing. After all, the commercial housing here was not in short supply like the courtyard houses. You know, courtyard houses were not built and rebuilt like commercial housing.

Lin Youcheng smiled and said nothing.

After all, who could have imagined that the value of courtyard houses would rise to such a terrifying level in the future.

"Are you still going to find someone to repair those two courtyard houses?"

Lin Youcheng nodded.

"Forget it, I know someone. Come with me and make a call."

Zhang Wei thought that if Lin Youcheng was busy looking for someone to renovate the courtyard house, it would be better for him to help contact someone he knew to come over.

"Youcheng, you still have to hurry up and finish your manuscript! Your colleagues at the magazine are all waiting for your new love novel."

When Lin Youcheng heard Zhang Wei's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, I will hold on tight."

Zhang Wei used a public phone at the newsstand at the entrance of the alley to call a master he knew. Lin Youcheng added the address and hung up after that.

Zhang Wei followed Lin Youcheng to the two dilapidated courtyards and took a look. He looked at the dilapidated wooden shed and the narrow corridor in the yard, frowned, and asked, "How much did this cost?"

"forty thousand."

"How many!"

Zhang Wei's eyes widened instantly. Originally, Lin Youcheng spent more than 20,000 to buy that courtyard house, which Zhang Wei thought was expensive. Now he didn't expect that Lin Youcheng would actually spend 40,000 to buy this shabby courtyard. Is he so rich that he has to burn money?
"Don't tell me, the price next door is the same?"

Lin Youcheng nodded.

This is really too wasteful!
Zhang Wei widened his eyes and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he felt that Lin Youcheng really had a lot of money but didn't know where to spend it, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Siheyuan is pretty good. Why don't you consider buying one?"

"I can't buy this place even if I have money!"

Zhang Wei waved his hands. He felt that Lin Youcheng's thoughts were really incomprehensible to him. He had no idea what he had missed by refusing, and what it meant to his child.
