The 3,000 yuan subsidy appears to have come from Shen Jize, but it was actually deducted entirely from the demolition compensation.
The money of those who did not sign in the second batch was deducted and distributed to those who signed in the first batch.
Whether or not everyone masters it later, it will not affect Chen Jize.
However, as the first person to try something new, things certainly won't go smoothly at first.
Sure enough, only a few people came to collect their money and leave on the first day.
However, since they saw the cash, people were no longer as resistant as before.
On the second and third days, the number of people gradually increased.
A week is simply not enough time for those people to make a new attempt or decision.
But Shen Jize still didn't change his mind.
"On the last day, you can use a loudspeaker to urge them on. If they still act this way, don't blame us for using force."
After leaving those words, Shen Jize returned to Jiangcheng.
That same month, a new policy was issued that allowed for housing privatization, giving each employee the right of first refusal to purchase the houses they were allocated.
The document was issued on a Saturday.
Lin Wei received this good news as soon as she got home.
"Auntie, you can buy the house now. Don't hesitate, just take it."
Lin Xiaomeng's eyes welled up with tears again. "That means I can own my own house now. This house will be my private property from now on."
"Yes, Auntie, you'll be the owner of this house from now on. You won't have to worry about it being taken over by someone else anymore."
But Lin Xiaomeng started to worry again, "This apartment is quite large, and I'm worried that my salary won't be enough."
Lin Wei turned around and went back to her room, handing the bankbook to Lin Xiaomeng.
“Aunt, please take this passbook. I have over 20,000 yuan in it. If that's not enough, I have more. No matter what, this house must be kept. Didn't you say that it contains memories of Uncle and the children?”
“But…” Lin Xiaomeng hesitated as she looked at the savings book the child handed her. How could she, an adult, need to use a child’s money?
Lin Wei, however, had a slightly different idea.
"Auntie, don't worry, we won't fight you for the house. The house is yours, and it's yours. I'm just worried that it's not enough, so you won't have to worry or get upset."
Lin Xiaomeng laughed in exasperation, "You child, that's not what I'm worried about. I have no children, what am I supposed to do with the house if not leave it to you? I'm just... I'm an adult using my children's money..."
Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief. "Is that what you're worried about? Money doesn't discriminate between adults and children. As long as it's used where it's meant to be, it has its value."
"Tomorrow is Sunday, which should be a holiday..." Lin Wei hadn't finished speaking when Zhang Min and her entourage knocked on the door.
"Sister Meng, Sister Meng, are you home?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhang, come in quickly."
Zhang Min pushed open the door and entered, bringing her entire family with her as they sat down together.
"You've all seen the announcement, right? We can buy this house now. Mengjie, let's go together on Monday to get it done. The sooner the better. Just thinking about owning a house in my lifetime makes me so happy I don't even need to sleep."
"You don't need to do business anymore," Lin Wei said. "You should be setting up your stall at this time, shouldn't you? Haven't you left yet?"
“You child, you can’t do business, you don’t want to do any business at all, your mind is full of houses, how can you spare any thought for selling clothes.”
But everyone shook their heads when they heard this.
After all, Lin Wei went out to set up her stall regardless of the wind and rain, even after encountering so many problems.
So, some people are just born to be rich.
But nobody said it was Zhang Min.
However, Zhang Min came not for this matter.
"Sister Meng, your child is grown up, and you've been earning money all these years on your own. Do you have enough money?"
Lin Xiaomeng glanced at Lin Wei and smiled, "I don't know if it's enough, I haven't calculated it in detail yet, but Weiwei gave me her savings book. This child has saved quite a lot of money, so it's definitely enough."
Seeing Lin Wei's actions, the Su couple couldn't help but feel a greater sense of admiration for her.
atmosphere.
Lin Wei has a truly magnanimous personality.
Many wealthy people receive favors but remain stingy, but Lin Wei is always able to repay them immediately.
This kind of character is truly rare.
However, that's not what Zhang Min wanted to say.
“Our two families don’t need to worry, but the Gao family… they’re having trouble even getting food, so they definitely won’t have the money to buy a house.”
Housing prices were indeed not expensive in that era, but this inexpensiveness is relative to prices in later generations.
For ordinary business owners and ordinary people, a house costing 400 yuan per square meter and a monthly salary of 200 yuan are...
How could it not be expensive?
“But this house is a staff housing unit, so wouldn’t the price be cheaper?” Lin Xiaomeng asked, but then she realized, “Even if it’s cheaper, it’s still a house, so we…”
Zhang Min said, "I was thinking of going over to ask them what their plans are. I thought it wouldn't be good if I went and you didn't go, so I went over to ask for your opinion."
"Let's go ask. If we need any help, we'll see how much we can help."
But if the difference is really too great—
They're just neighbors, after all; no one would go to great lengths to help with this.
-
It wouldn't be convenient to bring the children along, so only Lin Xiaomeng and Zhang Min went to the Gao family's house.
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Gao Huifang looking worried and distressed, while Grandma Gao was lying on the bed, constantly shedding tears.
Why are you crying like this?
Gao Huifang shook her head. "It's nothing."
"How could there be nothing wrong? It must be about the house," Zhang Min said. "We came here for this too. Xiao Gao, what's the situation with your family right now?"
Lin Xiaomeng also gave her opinion, "We discussed it and if it's a little short, we can help you out, but we also need to buy a house, so we probably can't raise too much."
Gao Huifang's tears flowed instantly.
"Thank you, thank you."
Grandma Gao couldn't help but blame herself: "It's all my fault. Living is exhausting and expensive. If it weren't for my medical treatment, we wouldn't be unable to afford this house."
Although Gao Huifang's house was next to the Lin and Su families' houses, their courtyard was much smaller.
There were only two bedrooms and one living room in total. Gao's mother lived in the living room, Gao Huifang and Wu Xiaoling lived in one room, and Wu Hongye, the boy, lived in a separate room.
There is a kitchen in the yard, but the toilet is still the public toilet outside, which shows that the area is really small.
Gao Huifang's burden was truly heavy.
“I have some money. With so many people in my family, someone is bound to get sick or have a fever. How could I not save money? I saved my wife's pension. I also have two gold necklaces that I bought when I had my two children. I could sell them to get some money, but I've calculated it carefully, and no matter how I calculate it, it's not enough.”
Hearing Gao Huifang say this, both the Lin and Su families breathed a sigh of relief.
"The difference shouldn't be too big. Let's go calculate it together on Monday. If we can make up for it, we'll lend it to you. Nothing is more important than a house. Once the house is registered in your name, you'll never have to worry about it being occupied or taken away again."
