Chapter 177 Buying a Siheyuan

Bought the ticket.

She returned to the guesthouse, told them the time to go back, and allowed them to move freely for the next two days. Of course, the three younger ones, Zhao Zhenli, Zhao Zhenxin, and Zhao Yulan, could not move alone.

Lin Su'e: "Chunlan, this is 200 yuan. You are responsible for distributing it to everyone."

Zhao Zhenli shouted excitedly: "Long live Mom!"

Zhao Yulan was very excited: "I want to go to the skating rink to skate."

Zhao Fenglan followed up with, "Okay, then we can go boating in Shichahai."

“…”

The children discussed enthusiastically.

Lin Su'e smiled and said, "I'm going to buy some local specialties for your uncle and his family. If you don't come back, you don't have to wait for me to eat."

Several people nodded: "Okay."

…

Except for the guest house.

Lin Su'e hailed a tricycle and said, "Go to Dongcheng District."

The east is rich and the west is noble.

After the rehabilitation, the houses were gradually returned to their owners.

Those living in the west have returned to a high level, and without special reasons, they will naturally not leave the country.

but.

Many wealthy families in the East choose to go abroad.

If you want to buy a western courtyard house, the east side is the first choice.

…

Shijia Hutong.

When Lin Su'e got out of the car, a middle-aged fat man came to greet her: "Sister Lin, have you had breakfast?"

"I ate it."

Lin Su'e smiled: "Have you been here for a long time?"

The man's name is Zhou Jun. He had established a good relationship with the waitress at the guesthouse in the past few days, and she introduced him to a skewers restaurant.

Nowadays, although the Xiheyuan courtyards have been returned to their owners, many of them were rented out in the first ten years. Even though the property ownership certificates have been returned, the tenants cannot be driven away. The right to use the houses has not been returned, so such houses cannot be sold.

The housing management office stipulates that houses with both property ownership certificates and usage rights can only be sold to them.

However, where there is demand, there is a market.

The price offered by the Housing Authority was too low and the landlord was unwilling to sell the house to them. However, he also did not want to keep the house because of going abroad, etc., so Chuan Chuan was born.

These days.

Those who can work as house sellers all have connections.

Let’s get back to the topic.

Zhou Jun smiled enthusiastically: "Not long ago, I just arrived too, sister, I will show you three houses in total today."

"Because your budget is within 7,000 yuan, all the houses are the same size. I'll tell you first, don't think it's too small."

Lin Su'e nodded: "I understand."

She had only met Zhou Jun once and didn't know him very well, but after hearing these words, she felt more favorable towards him.

She likes things to be explained clearly.

She now has 7,700 yuan on her, of which she has reserved 700 yuan for the New Year and the remaining 7,000 yuan for buying a house.

House prices are low nowadays, but houses in Beijing cannot be too cheap.

…

soon.

Arrived at the first house.

Zhou Jun pushed the door open and introduced, "Sister Lin, the owner of this house is a professor at Tsinghua University. His wife and son have passed away, and he only has a daughter who married in Hong Kong City. So he plans to sell this house and go to Hong Kong City to live with his daughter."

Lin Su'e nodded.

Looking around the house: it is a simple western courtyard. After passing the hanging flower gate are five main rooms and two side rooms on the left and right. The yard is not big, about 50 square meters, and is paved with stone bricks, now covered with moss.

Zhou Jun continued: "This house is 200 square meters in total, and the seller's price is 6,500 yuan."

Lin Su'e nodded.

"I'll take you inside to have a look. Professor Qin lives in the school dormitory. The rooms are all empty."

Took a walk around.

Lin Su'e couldn't say whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied: "Let's take a look at the next one first."

Zhou Jun said readily, "Okay."

The second house was in the middle of the alley. Before I got close, I could hear noisy noises from both sides.

Lin Su'e couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Zhou Jun explained, "The people next door are the employees of the cement factory. The cement factory rented it as a dormitory for its employees. Over the years, they have gotten married and had children. There are at least five or six people living in one room. It's a bit noisy."

Lin Su'e frowned even more.

"However, I have reliable information that the cement factory is planning to build a building, and these people will have to leave soon."

Hearing this.

Lin Su'e's expression eased a little.

but.

I mentally gave this house an X.

How many years will it take to repair a house? Besides, who knows whether these people will move away after the repair is completed?

These are all unknown.

So why bother looking for a house?

Hey.

What if the price is cheap? Some shortcomings are not unbearable.

Obviously.

This western courtyard is inhabited.

Zhou Jun went forward and knocked on the door: "Knock, knock, knock."

soon.

A middle-aged woman opened the door and said, "Brother Zhou, here you are, come in."

"This person is here to see the house."

Lin Su'e felt unhappy when she met the woman's scrutinizing gaze.

Zhou Jun introduced with a smile: "Sister Wang, this is Lin Lin Su'e, Sister Lin, we are here to see the house."

Wang Lin took the initiative to extend her hand: "Hello, my name is Wang Lin."

"My house has 11 rooms in total. My ancestors were salt merchants, so they used high-quality wood. The sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard was planted when my father-in-law was born. It is 60 years old now and is considered an antique, haha."

Lin Su'e listened without expressing any opinion.

Zhou Jun smiled and agreed: "No wonder this osmanthus tree is so tall~"

"Not only is it tall, but every year when it blooms, the whole alley can smell its fragrance. The Jianshou tree is the symbol of Shijia Hutong."

As she spoke, she sighed, "My family is planning to move to Macau to live with relatives, otherwise I really wouldn't be willing to sell it."

"The old does not go away before the new comes."

Zhou Junshun praised: "Sister Wang and her family will definitely be very happy in Macau. We are also looking for a house sincerely. What do you think? How much is it for?"

Wang Lin opened her mouth and answered Zhou Jun, but she was looking at Lin Su'e: "We took special care to maintain this house. It is 250 square meters in total and only cost 7,000 yuan."

250 square meters?

7,000 yuan.

That's quite a bargain.

Lin Su'e couldn't help but feel moved, but she didn't show it on her face.

Wang Lin couldn't hold back her anger and asked Lin Su'e, "What do you think of my house?"

Lin Su'e smiled and said, "Not bad."

Wang Lin frowned.

Zhou Jun laughed and said, "Sister Wang, Sister Lin and I agreed to look at three houses. Yours is only the second one. Don't worry. Let's finish looking first."

Hearing this.

Wang Lin didn't know what to say, so she nodded: "Okay."

The two left.

Go to the 3rd house.

This western courtyard is located at the innermost part of the alley, with a river behind it, and is very quiet.

As soon as you enter.

It is a tall persimmon tree, full of persimmons.

"This house belongs to an antique collector. He doesn't plan to go abroad, but he is in urgent need of money, so he asked me to sell this house."

"This house was in a rather run-down state when it was bought back. The owner renovated it a bit, so it looks unremarkable from the outside but is quite new inside. You just need to tidy it up before you move in."

"There are 11 rooms in total, including the yard, which is 210 square meters. It's sold for 7,000 yuan."

Lin Su'e took a look around and liked it quite a lot.

However, comparing with the previous houses, I still think that the second house is more cost-effective.

So, she said, "Take me to the second apartment."
