Li Mengxue has been going to the Housing Authority frequently recently. She still has some budget for buying a house and wants to buy some more for appreciation. She is also very familiar with the current housing prices.

Wang Lingling and Xie Shiyan have the support of their families, and they are about to get engaged. "We plan to go back this summer, and we will say that we are not used to living in the school dormitory, and ask for some support from our families, so that we can pool our money together to buy a house in the capital. But it may not be easy to convince our parents, so 500 yuan is still possible, plus the pocket money we have saved, so 1,500 yuan will be enough."

"Zhihe and I can probably scrape together a thousand yuan," Qian Lai said.

She had discussed it with Chen Zhihe not long ago and found out that she had been very frugal in the past three years and had saved most of her royalties, which amounted to about 600 yuan.

After Chen Zhihe was admitted to Diplomatic University, his family rewarded him with a few hundred yuan, plus some pocket money he had saved before, which added up to about 500 yuan.

The two agreed to use one thousand yuan to buy the house.

"What kind of house should we buy in our situation?"

Although housing prices are low now, you can’t buy a house with just a little money.

"It's probably very difficult to buy a Siheyuan. A Siheyuan with one entrance is not small in size. Even if it only costs a dozen yuan per square meter, the total price of the smallest Siheyuan with one entrance is also high, starting from two to three thousand yuan. If you have one thousand yuan, you can buy a house of about 100 square meters."

Li Mengxue said, "If the location is not so good, you can just buy a small yard!"

In fact, she prefers the latter.

The imperial capital has not yet spread as much to the surrounding areas as it did in later generations.

The suburbs that are in bad locations today will become the city center in the future. If you are buying a house for appreciation and not for your own use, it may be more cost-effective to buy a house in a worse location but with a larger area.

Wang Lingling and Qian Lailai were both very conflicted, and the reason was that they didn't have enough money.

"I also plan to buy a house. I'll keep an eye out for you guys when the time comes. I'll tell you when I find a suitable one," Li Mengxue said, patting her chest.

Well, just wait a little longer, until free trading is possible, she can bring her sisters to make money together. Then there will be no need to settle for other houses. It would be best if everyone had a courtyard house.

Li Mengxue really considered the sisters wholeheartedly. Yi Qingqing saw it. She thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, buy if there is a suitable one. If there is no suitable one, it's okay to wait. The housing sales policy has just been issued, and there are not many people selling houses, and the price is not very stable.

We are still in school and have a dormitory to live in, so we are not in a hurry to buy a house. If we don’t have enough money, we can save for a few more years and buy a better one then.

Even if housing prices rise in the future, they won’t rise dramatically right away, and you don’t have to buy it right away. It’s better to wait and choose a more suitable one. I still prefer you to buy a courtyard house, because it not only has residential value, but also some historical value, and has greater room for appreciation than ordinary houses. ”

She said this, on the one hand, because self-employed individuals will become legal at the end of 1979, which is the end of next year, and there will be more opportunities to make money by then.

Section 197

With money, they can have more and better choices, especially with money.

On the other hand, she did not agree with Qian Lailai buying a house with Chen Zhihe right now.

Wang Lingling and Xie Shiyan are about to get engaged. Their families approve of their relationship and buying a house together is not a big problem, but they have a disagreement about money.

Although Chen Zhihe's family did not have the messy situation like Zheng Xiaolong's, he and Qian Lailai's affairs had not yet been made clear to his family.

They both also planned to visit each other's homes during this year's winter vacation.

It would be fine if he agreed, but if he didn't, Qian Lailai and Chen Zhihe would be risky to buy a house together.

In the original book, although the two got together successfully and got married, the specific process was not described in much detail, and Yi Qingqing did not know whether they encountered any resistance at home.

But there is indeed a certain gap between Qian Lailai and Chen Zhihe's family backgrounds.

Moreover, the reality is now very different from the original book, and Yi Qingqing doesn't want to take any risks with money.

She has been so frugal over the years, working hard and diligently to save money by writing articles, so it's better to be safe.

At the very least, we have to meet Chen Zhihe's parents by the end of this year before we can consider buying a house together.

"Yes, yes, that's right!" Li Mengxue also said, "Let's just buy the right ones. Wait a minute, there won't be any big problems for now. I'll help you keep an eye on it!"

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Qian Lailai and Chen Zhihe buying a house together. She simply agreed with what Yi Qingqing said. If the money was not enough, she should wait and it would be more cost-effective to buy a courtyard house when she saved enough.

Although she was not sure when free trade would be allowed, she knew that the time should be soon.

I have to say, this top student who scored full marks in the imperial university is really different. His vision and predictions for the future are so smart!

Li Mengxue's admiring eyes made Yi Qingqing couldn't help but secretly sigh at her naivety.

Comrade Dajinhua suffered from not reading much online literature in her previous life. She only knew that the heroine traveled through time and space, and used this to motivate herself to study hard every day so as not to embarrass the time-traveling woman. However, she did not know that there was also a supporting female character who made a comeback, and she had no concept that it was possible for multiple people to travel through time and space and be reborn in the same world.

If she knew, she would not only think she was smart, but would also doubt her identity.

Given Comrade Da Jinhua's level of roughness, Yi Qingqing felt that she could keep her identity a secret for the rest of her life.

Wang Lingling and Xie Shiyan had to go back to school to pack their luggage for tomorrow's train. After eating hot pot, they went shopping for a while. After I bought some special products of the capital with them, we parted ways.

After sending Wang Lingling and Qian Lailai to the bus back to school, Yi Qingqing turned to Li Mengxue and said, "Mengxue, I have something to tell you alone."

"What's the matter?" Li Mengxue asked.

Yi Qingqing pulled her aside, and Yun Guyuan and Gao Yinghua were left aside.

She told Li Mengxue about her concerns about Qian Lailai.

"You're right, this is indeed a bit risky," Li Mengxue immediately became alert. The issue of property division between husband and wife in the future could be very serious!

And she herself is an example.

"I know. Even if there is a suitable house, I will wait until after the New Year, and then tell them when they have no problem meeting their parents during the New Year." After saying this, Li Mengxue started to worry about Yi Qingqing again: "What about you? Are you okay? You and Yun Guyuan are buying a house together, what if his family doesn't agree with your relationship?"

"Uh," Yi Qingqing choked. Was she shooting herself in the foot?

She had already successfully fooled people into thinking she was going to buy a house, but now what should she say?
