Chapter 29 Buying a House
"Xiao, do we really want to buy these two houses? Are they too expensive? We can buy a building in our hometown with this price." Cheng Chen asked hesitantly. He still wanted to persuade Luo Xiao.
"The city is different, and this is a school district house close to Peking University. This is a new community with an elevator, a good environment, and a good atmosphere. It's a duplex building with a very good layout. It's not a loss to buy it now. If I had enough money, I would definitely want to buy a few more. I feel that it's too little for you to buy one." Luo Xiao couldn't tell him that this amount of money would not be enough to buy a toilet in Beijing in the future, so he was relieved to be able to persuade him to buy one.
When there is a chance again, I will ask him to buy a few more houses.
"You're still buying more. You've already bought two houses. With the money from this house, you can buy a building in your hometown, a multi-story building at that." Cheng Chen was almost convinced, and he was also convinced by himself. How could he follow suit and buy a house? Didn't I persuade him before, and in the end I was persuaded to buy a house as well.
But it didn't matter, he could afford it. He just spent all his pocket money from childhood to adulthood, and also the red envelopes he received when he was admitted to Peking University, all on this house.
"Didn't I tell you before that cities are different? The houses here, believe it or not, will not be this expensive after a while. After all, people are moving to big cities, and the prices of houses will definitely go up. Do you know how much they paid per square meter for houses before? It's very different from our current prices. In the future, the prices of houses will only get higher, not lower. If you believe me, just buy a few more houses." Luo Xiao said seriously.
Looking at his serious expression, Cheng Chen listened to his words.
Therefore, every time I think of this incident, I am glad that he listened to the advice. As the old saying goes, listen to advice and you will have a full meal.
The two of them came to Beijing alone, and in less than a week, each of them owned a house in Beijing.
Luo Xiao was glad that there were no pre-sale houses at present, only ready-made houses, and they were the kind that could be moved into right away, keeping up with the times, and the designs were very good. After all, they were located in a famous golden school district in the future, and the prices would be sky-high in the future.
If he had been able to get a loan, he would have wanted to use it to buy a few more houses. Unfortunately, he couldn't get a loan, and now except for the demolition compensation, all his other savings have been almost emptied, including the compensation for the demolition of several old and dilapidated shops he bought in Xinliu County. He was also fortunate that the two shops he chose as compensation were in prime locations and now they are starting to receive a steady stream of rent. Although the rent in a small place is not much, it can be sustained and a mosquito, no matter how small, still counts as meat.
The bulk of the money came from the dividends from the food factory's shares. Otherwise, he would not have been able to even think about buying a house in Beijing. Finally, he bought two houses in Beijing. He couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart, and his sense of security was overflowing.
Cheng's father and mother, who were far away in their hometown, supported them in buying a house.
It's just that they were too far apart, so when they entered the bridal chamber, they could only celebrate together over the phone.
That day, Luo Xiao and Cheng Chen cooked a sumptuous lunch together in the new house. There were many varieties of dishes but small portions. They each drank a can of beer to celebrate.
After settling down, they wandered around Beijing, mainly to get familiar with this metropolis where they had bought a house.
Before, they ran around and looked at various properties, but never really explored the city. Now they will be the homeowners in this city, and it is time for them to really explore the city.
They visited many famous scenic spots here and took photos as souvenirs. During the visit, they were also cheated. Shameless business owners took photos of them secretly and forced them to sell the photos, saying that the film was wasted. If they didn't think the photos taken by the boss were really good, they would definitely let the boss know what portrait rights are.
Sure enough, being thick-skinned is one thing, but having good skills is the key.
"It would be nice if mom and dad had some time to hang out with us." Cheng Chen said lazily, leaning against the railing by the river.
"When they have some time later, we will go for a good walk as a family. Before that, we will familiarize ourselves with the place first so that we can serve as their guides and give them some scientific information." Luo Xiao said.
He knew he missed home and his family, and he missed them too.
He cherishes the love his parents have received in two lifetimes.
"Yeah, you're right." Cheng Chen grinned.
He never thought that he would be able to be admitted to Beijing University. Before he met Luo Xiao, his grades were so bad that no other high school was willing to accept him, so he could only go to the newly established experimental high school. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky to meet the person who changed his life. If it were his grandparents, if he was admitted to Beijing University, it must be because their ancestors had begged many people for help so that he could meet Luo Xiao. Although the statement was exaggerated, everyone in the Cheng family knew it well.
Therefore, after Luo Xiao was adopted as a godparent, all his relatives and friends liked him very much. Such a sensible and excellent child was loved by everyone.
Accompanied by the breeze by the river, the two chatted casually, feeling very comfortable.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night and the flow of people and cars had decreased.
The two of them were also preparing to go home.
We hadn't noticed the passage of time before, and now it was getting late, and it was difficult to find a taxi. Both of us were young people, so we immediately agreed to walk back, walking slowly, as a way of exercising.
