It is said that this tree has a history of hundreds of years and is loved by the residents here.
Bai Wei got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the alley, a short distance of just a few minutes, and she was sweating from the heat.
The weather is too hot.
Bai Wei muttered to herself and kept fanning herself with her hands.
Lu Siting naturally saw it as well, so he pulled Bai Wei to sit at the sweet soup stall at the entrance of the alley.
"It's a little hot. Let's drink some sugar water before we go."
This weather is really hot enough.
Bai Wei sat down.
There were only three tables and a few chairs in the dessert stall, so Bai Wei and Lu Siting sat at the empty table.
It was noon, so it was normal that there were few people.
The two drank a bowl of iced sugar water before walking into the garden alley.
While looking for the house number, Lu Siting suddenly thought of something and asked casually, "It's good for us to live in the military compound, why do you suddenly want to buy a house?"
The two of them chat almost every day before going to bed. Before yesterday, Bai Wei had never shown any intention of moving, so why did she suddenly want to buy a house?
Lu Siting believed in Bai Wei, so he also believed in the decision she made. He asked now only out of curiosity.
If the two of them really move out at that time, Lu Siting might not be able to come out every day.
Bai Wei suddenly asked: "Do you feel that prices have been rising continuously in recent years?"
In the past, one dollar could buy two kilograms of fine white flour, five kilograms of mixed noodles, plus various seasonings.
The purchasing power of one dollar today is only two-thirds of what it was back then.
However, without us noticing, prices are indeed rising quietly.
However, prices have risen, but wages have not increased much, and money is constantly depreciating.
Lu Siting is a smart man and doesn't need Bai Wei to say much. After hearing this question, he quickly understood what Bai Wei meant.
At noon, many children of the same age were running around on the roadside. The adults were either at work, at home or enjoying the cool under the trees, so no one paid attention to them.
Bai Wei continued to explain: "Money will only continue to depreciate if you keep it in your hands. A few thousand dollars now may be very valuable and can buy a nice house, but in the next few decades, maybe a few thousand dollars will only be enough for a meal?"
"Since we have money in our hands, we should use it to buy something. This kind of thing in our hands will not depreciate as the money depreciates, but will only become more valuable as prices rise. In this way, the money will be meaningful."
"This way, our assets won't shrink significantly in the future, and the depreciation of cash won't have a big impact on us."
Bai Wei doesn't know much about funds, the simplest thing she can think of is buying a house.
When she was chatting with the owner of the clothing store next door a few days ago, she mentioned the housing prices intentionally or unintentionally.
It turns out that housing prices have indeed increased a bit in recent years.
If you don't buy it now, you won't be able to buy it at the same price when you want to buy it later.
Bai Wei added, "When you go back tonight, go talk to Sister Si Ying. If she's willing, she might as well buy a few more houses. Houses will only appreciate in value, not depreciate."
Mr. Lu’s inheritance was divided equally. Lu Siting had more than 30,000 yuan, and Lu Siying also had more than 30,000 yuan. She was a veritable rich woman.
Moreover, Lu Siying is the team leader, a position one level higher than Lu Siting, with higher salary and subsidies. Plus, she is not married and is two years older than Lu Siting, so she must have much more savings than Lu Siting.
With such a huge sum of money in hand, the best thing to do would be to let Lu Siying buy a house.
Lu Siting thought about it and thought this was a good idea.
If I want to talk to Lu Siying about this, I have to go back to the Lu family. Since that’s the case, I might as well talk to my parents directly.
Compared to the little quarrels between him and Lu Siying, his parents must have saved a lot of money.
If you want to buy a house, it’s better for the whole family to buy it together.
Besides Lu Siting, Bai Wei also had the same idea.
Bai Yaotian is a high school teacher. He has worked diligently for ten years and his base salary has increased a lot. He must have saved a lot of money over the years.
Although he spent a lot of money preparing his dowry when he got married, my father has been a teacher for so many years, so he must have some savings.
Moreover, they bought the house in full and the family has lived there for many years.
Bai Wei calculated that with the savings her parents had now, if they saved for a while longer, buying another house would definitely not be a problem.
Their family is planning to buy a house, so my parents should also buy another one.
Bai Wei knew what the future would be like, so she was discussing it with Lu Siting very seriously.
Lu Siting will talk to Lu Siying about this tonight, so she should also take advantage of these two days to talk to her parents about buying a house.
Opening a store is your own business, but buying a house requires the consent of both parents.
The old couple has saved money for so many years and already has a house at home. If they are asked to buy another one, they must explain it carefully.
People nowadays have simple ideas. They all think that as long as the house is big enough for them to live in, it is enough. The older generation even likes to live in their hometown village.
After all, it's my own house and I don't need to pay rent.
However, transportation in the village was not convenient, so Bai Yaotian started renting a house and was determined to save money. After having a daughter, he finally bought his first house.
"No. 145, No. 146... No. 147 is here!"
Bai Wei quickly found the building.
The floors here are generally not high, most of them are five or six stories high. The house Bai Wei wants to see is on the third floor, room 303.
The floor was neither high nor low, and Bai Wei thought it was okay.
The two went upstairs, opened the door, and the whole room was brightly lit.
This is an ordinary two-bedroom, one-living room apartment.
The master bedroom is slightly larger and has a balcony. The second bedroom is slightly smaller, but it is still enough to put a bed and a cabinet in it.
The bathroom in the living room is very large, and the kitchen is next to the balcony.
Bai Wei and Lu Siting looked around. The room was rather empty, with nothing in it, but it was clean. Probably someone came to clean it every week.
There is basically no decoration, just white paint. But it’s also a good thing, as it makes it convenient for future buyers to decorate the house according to their own preferences.
Lu Siting came out and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think it's great. If I sell it later, I can let the buyer do the renovation themselves."
This is what Bai Wei is most satisfied with.
The aesthetic tastes of this era were very different from those of later generations in some aspects. Even before she got married, when Bai Wei lived at home with her parents, she renovated her room herself.
Now that I am going to have my own house, of course I have to design the room myself.
Bai Wei likes this house very much, and Lu Siting is also very satisfied, but he still has to follow Bai Wei's opinion.
