Chapter 421 Settled in Hepingli
"What's going on?"
Guan Lamei was pulled into the car at the gate, and she was still confused when she got off at the destination.
"Where are Gao Xiulan and the others?"
Diao Yulian was in such a hurry that she didn't even finish combing her hair. She followed him with a comb in her hand.
Zhao Yunyun, who had just closed her stall in the courtyard, followed over and looked down at the shiny tiles under her feet.
Yang Shujuan and Jin Qiaofeng calmly tidied their hair and clothes and pushed the door open.
Anyway, just follow the main force.
Hearing the sound, Lin Xiaotong poked her head out and waved towards the door.
"Aunts, we are here."
Jin Qiaofeng glanced at the sand table and said, "Gao Xiulan, you are really efficient. You found a house today."
"Stop kidding, this model room is really well decorated, come and see."
Lin Xiaotong came over and whispered, "Aunts, it's cheaper if we buy together in a group."
When this was said, the eyes of the people who came over from behind brightened up.
Guan Lamei walked with the wind: "What are we waiting for? Let's go and take a look."
Xiaoyuan asked the driver to park the car and followed everyone to introduce them one by one.
When Yanping came out reluctantly with a cup of tea, there was no one in the hall.
He wiped the sweat off his face and said dissatisfiedly, "Why should I pour water if no one tells me to? Manager Pang just orders people around."
Compared to a miniature sand table, being in a model room gives you a different feeling.
After Diao Yulian went in, she even lifted up the mattress on the bed to take a look.
I still can’t believe it: “How can a pigeon cage look so good after renovation?”
In her impression, pigeons without a yard would feel cramped if they were kept in cages.
Jin Qiaofeng felt relieved after seeing this: "They spent money on this. If you just paint the walls green and put a large wardrobe in the living room, it will definitely look tacky."
“If you spend more money on renovations, your home will definitely look different.”
Guan Lamei walked through every room with her hands behind her back.
Quietly walking over, she whispered to Xiaoyuan, "Girl, can we sell this apartment like this? The kind that can be sold with the renovations included?"
She just wanted to save trouble and buy a ready-made, fully furnished house. The kind that she could move in right away would be great.
Xiaoyuan stretched her head and looked next door. Manager Pang was standing in front of Jin Qiaofeng and Yang Shujuan, talking and gesturing.
He carefully took Guan Lamei to the kitchen, opened the lower storage cabinet, and let people take a look at the door panel.
Guan Lamei went forward and touched it, and felt something was wrong.
It is obvious that this wood is not solid wood. If you get close, you can smell a strong fragrance, as if it is covering something.
"My daughter, I won't buy it. Thank you, auntie. When we sisters buy a house in the future, we will come to you."
Xiaoyuan smiled and chose not to cheat anyone.
Some model rooms are just good-looking but not practical. The decoration materials are all fancy but of low practicality.
In daily life, things cannot just look good; practicality is the bottom line.
Gao Xiulan came over and asked, "What do you all think of it?"
"I've finished reading it all."
Manager Pang rolled down from upstairs again. He called his superiors to ask about the group purchase discount.
Rubbing his hands together, he smiled brightly, "Are you ready to buy, aunties? I'll have someone prepare the contract right away."
Oh my goodness, I’m so lucky today, I’m going to get a lot of orders.
"Don't worry, let's discuss it first."
Manager Pang put on a fake smile and agreed immediately: "Okay, okay, no problem."
He said, who would buy a house like buying vegetables?
Gao Xiulan is not planning to buy the house today because the demolition compensation has not yet arrived.
I originally just wanted to find a suitable property, but I didn’t expect to find it so quickly.
Everyone in the compound returned to the sand table in the hall and started whispering to each other.
Diao Yulian was surprised: "Gao Xiulan, are you planning to buy a duplex? It's not cheap."
"Just pay the mortgage. It's not much money per month."
Gao Xiulan bought an apartment in Dongxiao Garden, Pengcheng in the 1980s. The price per square meter was 1,600 yuan at that time, but now it is not even worth 16,000 yuan.
The house can now be mortgaged. The down payment for this duplex is 320,000 yuan, and repayments must be made on time every month.
Many people always feel that mortgages don’t sound good, and they become house slaves after taking on a mortgage.
After hearing this, Jin Qiaofeng was also a little shaken: "That's true, money is not worth much now."
She has saved a lot of money, which she can exchange for a house.
Diao Yulian didn't expect these people to be serious, and she was a little flustered.
"No way, you're all planning to take out a mortgage to buy a duplex?"
She originally just wanted to buy a small three-bedroom apartment.
Zhang Dazui jokingly said, "Your daughter Mingzhu is so lively, aren't you afraid that she'll crack the floor downstairs?"
She and Afen agreed to buy a house with Gao Xiulan and become neighbors.
We have agreed to go square dancing together, and no one can be absent.
The community also has shops. When Xiaotong’s small courtyard at Peking University is demolished, she can set up a stall at her doorstep when she is bored.
Jin Qiaofeng also began to instigate: "Diao Yulian, your family's demolition compensation is about 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, so you can definitely provide a down payment."
"How can my house compare to yours? Just buy a three-bedroom apartment."
She had no way of expressing her grievances, as Wu Jiabao insisted on giving the money to Chunyan.
She and Old Wu also discussed it behind closed doors. Chunyan was so successful now, and Jiabao's future was foreseeable.
Who knows, maybe he will need Chunyan's help as an older sister in the future. It's hard to say what will happen if their relationship becomes strained.
Wu Jiabao made a fuss several times, and Guan Nana also supported him, and the old couple finally agreed.
Of course, because the eldest daughter’s household registration had been moved long ago, she had no share of the 40,000 yuan household registration compensation.
With such a small difference, the remaining money would be hard to even use as a down payment for a duplex.
After considering it, Yang Shujuan said, "I think this apartment is pretty good, but it's just me and Lao Xia living in my family, and a hundred-plus square meters is too big."
Zhang Dazui nudged her elbow and said, "There aren't many people here now. When Zhou Zhou grows up and has a boyfriend, won't there be more people in the family?"
Lin Xiaotong compares the surrounding environments of buildings with different apartment types.
"This duplex is near a small garden pavilion, not on the road, so it's quieter at night."
When you get older, it’s hard to fall asleep at night even when there’s too much noise.
Xiaoyuan added: "There is an elevator in the duplex, so it will be more convenient for the sisters to go up and down the stairs."
After listening to the considerations, Zhao Yunyun was allocated a room of just ten square meters, which cost her 170,000 to 180,000 yuan.
It is still more cost-effective to buy a 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment, and the pressure of mortgage repayment will be less.
Lai Xi caught up with the last housing distribution, and the couple was allocated a one-bedroom apartment, but they don’t live at home now.
When they finally left, Guan Lamei assured Xiaoyuan, "Daughter, we'll come back to sign the contract in a few days."
The demolition contract will be signed the day after tomorrow. The sooner you sign, the sooner you can get the money.
There are a lot more people in the alley these days, all of whom have rushed back to divide their money and houses.
…
Yanping just closed a deal yesterday and after calculating the commission she could get this month, she felt very happy.
While painting his nails, he looked at Xiaoyuan beside him and started a new round of sarcastic remarks.
"Xiao Yuan, why haven't all the people here come to sign the contract? Did you get scammed?
No wonder Manager Pang has been speaking to you in a bad tone these days.
Listen to my advice, you are not cut out for this line of work, pack up and go home as soon as possible."
Xiaoyuan treated what the man said as a fart and fanned him with a notebook.
Guan Lamei walked forward with an aggressive look, as if she didn't care about anyone.
"Xiaoyuan, the sisters are here to buy you a house!"
Yanping's face froze.
She has a bad mouth and whatever she says comes true.
In Xiaoyuan's opinion, this was the sound of nature, and the people who pushed the door open were all shining with golden light.
She came over like a little rabbit and said, "Sisters, would you like some water first?"
Gao Xiulan waved her hand, and the bag in her hand was so heavy that it could be used as a weapon.
"No, no, just bring the contract over and sign it. I'll give you the discount we agreed on last time.
There are so many of us! My hands are getting sore from carrying this money for so long."
There was not enough room for one bag, so Lin Xiaotong helped carry one.
Manager Pang rolled down from upstairs again, his hair a mess from sleeping.
"Hey, you guys are here. Here's the contract. Let's take a look. If there's no problem, we can sign it."
Lin Xiaotong took it and read it carefully from beginning to end.
"Don't worry, let me take a look first."
Manager Pang waited on the side with a grin on his face: "Okay."
"Mom, aunts, the contract is fine."
Gao Xiulan and the others had no problem with it: "Okay, then sign it. We'll transfer our household registration over later, and we'll live at No. 8 Hepingli from now on."
Xiaoyuan took a handful of pens and handed one to each person, her eyes sparkling.
Once she gets the money at the beginning of next month, she wants to bring her mother over to live with her.
Today, the third uncle also came and wrote his name stroke by stroke while wearing reading glasses.
On the way back, Diao Yulian felt a rare sense of emotion.
"Gao Xiulan, I never thought we would be neighbors for life."
From the compound to Hepingli, everyone moved to a new place but continued to be neighbors.
Gao Xiulan folded the empty bag and placed it on her lap.
"We're just getting started! Who knows, maybe ten years from now we'll still be square dancing together!"
Diao Yulian shook her hair and said, "Then I will definitely be the lead dancer!"
