However, Gu Zhao was still somewhat chauvinistic in some aspects and insisted on paying for it himself, so Tian Tian didn't say anything.
After paying the money, some people struck while the iron was hot and went to handle the formalities. Looking at their two names, Tian Tian and Gu Zhao, on the property certificate, they felt a little relieved.
After buying the house, the two of them went straight to the small courtyard with a private entrance. The courtyard was much smaller, about ten square meters, and there were only two rooms in the house, one was the kitchen and the other was the living room.
In addition, a toilet was built next to the kitchen, so there is no need to go to the public toilet outside to use the toilet.
"There is no water in this yard!" Tian Tian said after walking around the yard.
"When the young comrade heard this, he didn't understand. After all, our place is located in the center of the county town, and there are fields all around. We haven't needed wells for a long time. I also use pipes to draw tap water in these houses, so it is very convenient to use water at ordinary times." The man selling the house said with a smile.
Tian Tian went into the kitchen and took a look. It was called a bungalow, but it was built just like a building. It also used gas, instead of a big pot to cook. There were also several power supplies in the kitchen, so you could plug in an electric cord if you wanted.
As for the houses where people live, the stoves there are those that burn honeycomb coal.
Although Tian Tian had accepted this type of stove before, after seeing that house, she actually looked down on it a little. But there was nothing she could do. The most common way of heating now is to put an iron stove in the house, and then pass a pipe on it. The hot air will be discharged little by little along the pipe. In this way, the house will be warm and there will be no smoke.
The kang is also inside the house and can be heated, but unlike other houses where it is not connected to the big stove, there is a separate opening under the kang surface where firewood can be placed to heat the kang.
Tian Tian was a little dissatisfied. If she slept on the kang in the middle of the night and the holes were not blocked tightly, her quilt, shoes and other things would be left on the edge of the kang. Wouldn't that be dangerous?
The safety hazard of this kang was so great that Tian Tian finally gave up on this yard.
She was still a little disappointed. In fact, the location of this yard was quite good. Although it was a bit far from her workplace, it was within her acceptable range. It was also relatively quiet on both sides. It was just the kang that made her really worried. In the end, she did not make up her mind to buy this house.
Although the seller was a little disappointed that the house was not sold, it was a very normal thing. He then asked, "Are you still planning to look at houses?" He said that someone he knew was also planning to sell a house, and asked Tian Tian if she wanted to go over and take a look.
Tian Tian nodded, wondering why there were so many people selling houses now? When she was looking for houses, she didn't see any.
The person selling the house took them to another house and explained to Tian Tian and Gu Zhao on the way that there were not many people selling houses in the provincial capital and basically everyone knew each other. If someone didn't like their own house, they would take people to take a look at other houses.
The person selling the house took them to find another seller. After the two exchanged information, the new seller took them to a house not far from his house. It also had its own door and yard. There was a running water faucet installed in the house, and the overall layout was actually similar to that one. The only difference was that the stove on the kang on their side was in the kitchen of another house. There was both a gas stove and a large pot stove in the kitchen.
There is a stove in the room where we live, which is also fueled by coal. This way, there is heat from both the kang and the stove, which makes the room warmer in winter.
Tian Tian was quite satisfied with this house. Although it was a little more remote than the previous one, the yard was also bigger. In fact, the prices offered by the two houses were almost the same, both 450 yuan. Tian Tian took a fancy to this house and paid the money very happily. She also went to get the property certificate at the last minute.
Holding the freshly-issued, still-steaming property certificate, Tian Tian felt very satisfied, even more satisfied than when she saw the small building just now. This was the house that truly belonged to her. Now that they were not married yet, this should be her pre-marital property and no one could take it away from her in the future.
Tian Tian was very happy after buying the house. She hummed a little tune while going to work for a whole week.
Even the students said that Tian Tian must have encountered something good, because she always smiled when teaching them.
Zhou Yang was also very confused as to why Tian Tian disappeared after work and dinner during this period, and returned to the dormitory very late every night.
The soundproofing of their dormitory is not very good. From inside the room, one can hear the activities in the next room, so Zhou Yang also knows when Tian Tian returns home.
During lunch, Zhou Yang also asked this question. Tian Tian didn't want others to know that he bought a house, so she said that he was going out to play with friends.
Zhou Yang knew that Tian Tian was attending college here, so it was not surprising that she had acquaintances here. He also knew that Tian Tian and Gu Zhao were a couple, so he did not ask any further questions.
During this period, Tian Tian went to her own house to clean up every night. The house had not been occupied for a long time. As soon as she entered the yard, she could smell a dilapidated atmosphere. There was no life at all, and the kang and the table were covered with a thick layer of dust.
During this period, Tian Tian went to clean the yard and gradually put all the things that were previously placed in her own space into the house.
Although she lives in a dormitory now, Tian Tian does not have any sense of belonging to this dormitory. She doesn't know how many people have lived in the dormitory before, and there will definitely be many people in the future. She does not put too many things in the dormitory. Except for some necessities of life, the rest are all in her space.
Now that she has her own house, Tian Tian finally feels a sense of belonging to this city where she has lived for almost five years, and she feels more at ease than ever before.
After cleaning up her own house, there is also a new house for her and Gu Zhao. If her own small house is his foundation, then this house with Gu Zhao is where he may live for the rest of his life. For the sake of her own quality of life, Tian Tian must treat it with care.
Most of the furniture inside is in good condition, but some of it is very old and has broken down. When they get off work, the two of them will look together to see which furniture can be used. They will repair the furniture together and continue to use it. If it is unusable, they will take the furniture to the scrap yard to sell it, and then go to the mall to find new and nice furniture.
The two of them spent more than a month decorating the house, bit by bit, to the way they had imagined it. They celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival together in the house, made their first rice dumplings, and cooked their first meal.
By the time they had completely decorated the two houses, it was already July and the college entrance examination was over.
During this period, Tian Tian also called to ask how the decoration of the house was going, and also asked Tian Zhuo how he felt about his performance in the college entrance examination.
When she came before, she sent a lot of exercise books to Tian Zhuo. Before the college entrance examination, Tian Tian also called Tian Zhuo's school and asked about his learning progress.
Tian Zhuo finished all the exercise books as he spoke, and figured out all the questions he didn't know how to answer. However, Tian Tianxin still felt a little uneasy. After all, she was not the one who set the questions, and she didn't know what the thinking behind the college entrance examination questions was.
After the college entrance examination, Tian Tian called Tian Zhuzhuo again and asked him how he performed in the exam.
Tian Zhuo said that he performed well. He had done similar questions on several of the questions in his exercise book, and felt that he could do well in the exam.
Tian Tian became even more worried after hearing this. Tian Tian hated it most when someone thought they had done well in the exam, because she had experienced that those who said so after the exam would not always get ideal results in the end. On the contrary, those who felt they did not do well would end up with results beyond their expectations.
But the exams had already been taken and the results had been confirmed and would not change, so Tian Tian did not say anything. After asking around and hearing about the estimated score for her and the schools and majors she had applied for, she went to Gu Xingshu for help to prevent Tian Zhuo's place from being replaced by someone else.
The admission notices for July have been gradually sent out, and you can check the admission quota now.
Before Tian Tian went to tell Gu Xingshu, Gu Zhao brought her the news that Tian Zhuo had been admitted to the same university as Gu Zhao and Tian Tian, and his major was the same as Gu Zhao's. Gu Zhao only found out about this when he went to the school to visit the teacher, and he also took the admission letter back to Tian Tian.
When Tian Tian saw the admission letter, she was very happy and decided to give it to Tian Zhuo when she got home. She also called her family to tell them that Tian Zhuo had been admitted to the school, and he was also very happy.
