Li Jianguo lavished praise on the first, two-courtyard property and did not disparage the second, single-courtyard property either. Small and cluttered though it was, this was Yanjing, after all.
Although he now owned a courtyard house himself, Li Jianguo had never considered buying one in Yanjing an easy matter. Just hearing that man named Shao say the day before that people without Yanjing household registration could not buy courtyard houses had made him back off.
Now Li Long had bought two courtyard houses, including one under his name. That was already more than good enough.
He also knew perfectly well that, when it came down to it, a courtyard house like this was not worth much less than the tractor he drove.
Anyone with enough money could buy that tractor. That certainly was not true of this courtyard house!
"This courtyard's pretty good too. Just right for a family to live in, nice and quiet. It'll be easy to clean up as well. The underlying structure's all good. That stuff on top could be cleared out in half a day or a day," Li Jianguo said, appraising the small courtyard.
People to do renovations and such would be easy to find. This was Yanjing, after all, the capital. Whatever else might be uncertain, there should at least be no shortage of construction crews.

They had not included it
