Chapter 223 House Viewing
Since they had decided to go and see the specific conditions of the house, Lin Yuzhu told her unit and took them out.
This was not considered as asking for leave. After all, they would usually take people to see houses, but she seldom went. Firstly, she was mainly responsible for logistics and organizing materials before, and secondly, her current administrative level in the unit was considered high, so she was not needed for this kind of errand work.
But this time she applied for it on her own initiative, so there isn't much to say.
After coming out, they took a car to the one in the slum first.
This slum is similar to the one where the Zhao family lives. It has three courtyards. This time we are looking at a room in the second courtyard.
The family bought an apartment last year and moved in some time ago, so they rented out this house.
Although there is only one room, the house is not small. It used to be home to a whole family. Although some partitions were removed after they moved out, a bedroom has been separated out in the house now, which is quite spacious for two people to live in.
Because the house had been emptied and there was nothing to see, the group went out to see other facilities in the yard.
You need to go to the street outside to use the toilet, which is not far away, just outside the door. The kitchen is in the house in the middle of the yard. There is also a well in the yard, so it is very convenient to get water.
My fourth sister's husband seemed quite satisfied with her. The only drawback was that there were many people living in the slum and he was worried that my fourth sister's personality would not allow her to handle interpersonal relationships.
But this is not a big problem. After all, they don’t plan to live here for a long time. When they graduate and are assigned jobs, they will have to move out sooner or later, whether they buy a house or get a separate apartment.
Moreover, they usually have to go to school during the day and come back at night, so they don’t need to communicate too much with their neighbors.
After looking at this, several people went to look at the one in the nearby building.
It is called a building, but in fact it is just a tube-shaped building, which belongs to the staff quarters of the printing factory and is quite old.
The family’s house is not actually theirs, and it cannot be said that way. The house was allocated to them by the unit and still belongs to them.
The reason it was rented out was because the floor was too high, on the sixth floor. The family's children moved out after they got married, and usually there are only two elderly people living at home.
But the elderly in his family is old, and climbing stairs every day is too tiring. He fell at the beginning of the year. His children are worried about him living in such a high place, so they simply let them live in the homes of several children in turn and rent out the house, which can also save some money for the elderly's retirement.
The size of this house is about the same as the slum we just saw, but there is one thing: the elderly people here have a lot of stuff, and many of them have not been moved away before.
I also told them when I rented them out that, although they were not expensive items, the old couple had been thrifty for many years and were reluctant to throw them away, so I left them there and told them not to touch them.
When they moved out, they tried their best to keep everything together so that it didn't take up too much space in the house.
But when Lin Yuzhu and others came in and saw the large and small bags piled up in the bedroom, the corners of his mouth twitched.
You call this only a little bit left? This is taking up too much space, right? The entire bedroom is almost full except for the bed.
Although she felt cheated, since they had already said it in advance, it was a bit exaggerated. She didn't know what to say. She looked at her fourth sister and let them make the decision.
The fourth sister looked carefully and concluded: "Although some space is taken up by those things, the remaining space is enough for us to live in."
But the second sister was not satisfied. "The floor is too high. Aren't you tired of climbing the stairs every day to go to and from school? And the old couple are hard to talk to. Otherwise, the children wouldn't dare to throw away the rags. What if they come back and say they lost something? What will you do?"
This question confused the fourth sister, "No way? Didn't they say it wasn't a valuable item?"
"You just believe what others say? If it's not valuable, why don't you throw it away? It's better to use the clean one before, which is more convenient. Besides, your room is too close to the toilet, and it will definitely be noisy with people coming and going."
This is a classic tube-shaped building structure, with the toilet and kitchen at both ends of the corridor. Although this room is not directly next to the toilet, it is not separated by several rooms, so it is indeed quite close.
The fourth sister listened thoughtfully.
