Chapter 23 Room Selection
In Zhong Xiong's heart, he always thought that he was a good man who listened to his wife and earned money to support the family.
Look, after our house was demolished, I listened to my wife when choosing a house.
"There are three people in our family. According to the policy, we can choose a three-bedroom apartment of 90 square meters. I think this apartment is very good and the lighting is also good." When they arrived at Xinhe Community, the staff took them to see several apartments. Yang Fangqin fell in love with the apartment type of No. 501, Unit 4, Building 3 at first sight.
Zhong Xiong had no objection and listened to his wife: "You decide."
"Okay, we'll take this one." Yang Fangqin said with a smile.
The girl who took them to see the house looked at her enviously and said, "If I get married, I want to marry a man like this."
Noticing the little girl's gaze, Yang Fangqin became even happier and decided to make something delicious for Zhong Xiong tonight as a reward.
After Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Xiong made their choice, Zhong Hui did not hesitate any longer and chose the two-bedroom apartment next to them, which was 502 square meters. This resettlement house was just a transitional unit, and she would buy a new house later.
"You have chosen already? That's too fast. I haven't thought about it yet." Seeing that they had all chosen, Aunt Meihua, who came with them, became anxious.
There are four people in her family, and her son and daughter are not at home, so she can't discuss it with them.
"Or, let's choose this 120-square-meter apartment. They are not at home most of the time anyway, and they only come back to stay during the Chinese New Year." Uncle Xiuye said.
Aunt Meihua was still a little hesitant. She wanted to choose two 60-square-meter apartments so that her son could live separately after he got married.
"Aunt Meihua, your family of four should live in a spacious and comfortable place. Besides, your husband Tingwen works in the city and his resettlement house is far away, so he will definitely not live here. It will be more lively if they come back to live together during the holidays, right?" Zhong Hui suggested.
Moreover, the supporting facilities here are not very good. It is surrounded by industrial areas and is quite far away from schools and hospitals.
Hmm, an industrial zone? Then the houses here should be easy to rent to people working in the industrial park.
"Xiao Nie, is this house for sale?" Zhong Hui turned around and asked the girl who accompanied them to view the house.
"Yes, it's selling." Xiao Nie quickly laughed, "It's just not selling very well."
As resettlement housing, the developer didn't pay much attention to this place. There isn't even simple greenery in the community, just a few dying trees.
"How much is it per square meter?"
"Eight hundred and three." Xiao Nie quickly added, "Sister, although our location is a bit far, it's cheap. Half the price of the city."
"Hui, the houses here are not good. Why do you want to buy a house here? We can just have one to live in temporarily." Zhong Xiong said hurriedly.
Zhong Hui didn't hide it from him and told him her thoughts: "Brother, I'm not thinking of living here by myself. I think this place is close to the industrial park. If we buy a house and rent it out, it will also bring in some income."
Zhong Hui’s biggest dream is to become a landlady. Now that the houses in the village have been demolished and she can no longer collect rent, she is thinking of buying another house.
"That's a good idea. The housing prices here are cheap. It would be a good choice to buy a house and rent it out to managers who work in factories and have higher salaries but don't want to live in the village." Zhong Xiong also thought it was feasible.
"Hui, if you buy it, I will buy it too. Let's buy more together and see if we can get a cheaper price." Aunt Meihua was also eager to try.
She has been collecting rent every month since her house was built. She will definitely not be able to get used to the sudden loss of income.
"By the way, Xiao Nie, how are the stores here selling?" Aunt Meihua asked about the stores again.
Zhong Hui was also listening with great interest. Her small shop had been demolished before it even started, and she still wanted to open a new one.
"Storefronts are more expensive than houses, one thousand seven hundred and forty-one square meters." Xiao Nie swallowed her saliva. These were all people whose houses were being relocated. If she bought houses from all of them, she would be rich.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nie became even more enthusiastic: "Sister, Auntie, how about I take you to see it?"
Looking at the time, it was still early, so a few of them followed Xiao Nie downstairs to see the storefront.
"The houses here don't look very good from the outside, but I still like this elevator. I don't have to climb stairs." Aunt Meihua smiled after getting out of the elevator.
"Our building has sixteen floors, and we can't live without an elevator," Xiao Nie said with a smile.
"Fortunately, I chose the sixth floor. I am afraid of heights, and I would definitely not be used to living high up." Aunt Meihua finally chose the same apartment as Zhong Xiong, just above Zhong Xiong's house, and they became neighbors.
Several people followed Xiao Nie to look at the storefronts. The storefronts were located in a row facing the street at the entrance of the community. This place had just been built not long ago, so there was little traffic, and there were few people even facing the street.
"Can there be any business here?" Aunt Meihua couldn't help but mutter.
"Aunt, the residents here haven't moved in yet. If they did, it would definitely be lively. Even if everyone from your village moved in, there would be about a hundred or eighty households." Xiao Nie explained quickly.
"That's true."
Zhong Hui looked around. Xinhe Community was in a remote location, quite far from the supermarket and vegetable market in the town. Once they all moved in, if there were tenants from the industrial park, everyone would need to eat and live, so the convenience stores would still have business.
Zhong Xiong also thought it was a good idea, but neither he nor Yang Fangqin had any intention of starting a small business, so they decided not to buy the storefront.
Zhong Hui and Aunt Meihua walked along the street once and saw almost everything.
"Xiao Nie, thank you for today. If we come to buy a house in the future, we will contact you." Zhong Hui said.
"Okay, okay, sister, this is my phone number. If you need anything, just call me." Xiao Nie immediately took out her business card enthusiastically.
"Sister, how about you leave me your phone number as well?" Xiao Nie asked again.
Well, this is a dilemma. Zhong Hui doesn’t have a mobile phone yet. The old landline at home was removed when the new house was built.
Zhong Hui was not embarrassed and said directly: "I haven't bought a mobile phone yet. I will call you when I buy one."
"Okay, sure." Xiao Nie quickly agreed.
Aunt Meihua did have a landline at home, but it was about to be demolished, so she didn't leave her phone number.
After seeing enough, the group prepared to go back. Zhong Xiong drove the car and took them back directly.
Seeing them walking away, Xiao Nie's heart beat faster. He smiled and waved at them vigorously.
"Hey, everyone has left, why are you still so excited?" Xiao Nie's colleague, Dai Wei, came over and patted her on the shoulder.
Xiao Nie smiled at her and said nothing more.
"I really envy these people who are being relocated. They can get a new house without any effort. I heard that they can get millions or even tens of millions in compensation. When will it be my turn to be relocated?" Dai Wei's eyes turned red with envy.
"You are a local, maybe you still have a chance." Xiao Nie said with a smile.
She even envied Dai Wei, a local with a local household registration and a house. Unlike her, she was a migrant worker who came from far away to work, had no house and no money, so she had to rely on herself.
