Chapter 466 Old House



"Use the remaining 7,000 yuan to buy a big house with a yard and at least eight bedrooms for our family! And buy a small shop on the street," Su Cai asked.

"Eight bedrooms?" Yi Zhigang said in surprise. There were only eight people in his family, including Qingqing's wife. How could they need eight bedrooms? How big a house would that be!

"My parents have one room, the two of us have one room, Xiaohui and Sisi have one room each, then Qingqing has one room, and Xiaoyun has one room. That makes six rooms in total. When Qingqing and Xiaoyun get married and have children, we should at least prepare two bedrooms for the children!" Su Cai counted.

Yi Zhigang understood.

But Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan looked at each other, feeling quite awkward.

They haven't even gotten married yet, but my sister-in-law has already reserved rooms for two children when she bought the old house?

Yi Qingqing hasn't thought about having a baby yet! She doesn't have that idea in her mind yet!

"Qingqing, you went to check it out these days. How is the situation? Is the budget of 7,000 yuan enough?" Su Cai asked.

She asked about Qingqing and her family's house in the imperial capital. The courtyard house cost 10,000 yuan, and the shop cost 4,000 yuan.

Their county is a small place, so it shouldn't be that expensive, and the house doesn't need to be as good as a courtyard house. She estimated that seven thousand yuan should be enough.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need so much," Yi Qingqing said, "I looked at the houses in our county town. As for housing, the most suitable one is a large courtyard with three bungalows near the county primary school. The layout is very similar to a quadrangle courtyard, with a main house and left and right wing rooms. It is quite spacious. The original owner of the courtyard opened two vegetable plots. The environment near the house is not bad. It is just on the edge of the county town, but the advantage is that it is big enough. Including the yard, it is more than 400 square meters. If I want to build a house in the future, this residential land is also large enough."

Nanping is a small county town that can be walked around in less than an hour. Every place is the county center. Although the big bungalow is on the outskirts of the county town, it is not far from anywhere. There are primary schools nearby. In later generations, it will be a school district house.

It can be said that in today's Nanping County, everywhere is the county center.

So Yi Qingqing felt that this was not a problem.

Section 273

Sure enough, Su Cai nodded after hearing this: "This house is really big, and there is a vegetable garden for growing vegetables. How much is it?"

"The price of this house on the market at the Housing Authority is 2,500 yuan," said Yi Qingqing.

To be honest, she was really surprised by how cheap the houses in Nanping County were. They were several times cheaper than those in the capital. If she didn't like the appearance of the houses, she would have wanted to buy two here.

"Sure, sure! We'll go take a look after the New Year!" Su Cai said, "What about the shops? Are there any suitable ones?"

Yi Qingqing nodded: "As for the shop, there is a suitable one on the street of the morning market, not far from where you usually set up your stall. It is not only a storefront, but also has a small courtyard in the back. There are several rooms in the courtyard, and even a well. It only costs 1,500 yuan."

"It's great to have a small yard! I don't have to make all the stewed dishes at home anymore, and the house is full of flavor! The price is right, too." Su Cai was very satisfied. She knew her sister was very reliable and had fully considered their family's needs: "It's only four thousand yuan in total, and there's three thousand yuan left, which is enough to buy another house."

"Sister-in-law, I have to pay half of the money for buying the old house, so that we can buy it together. This way, we can feel at ease when we return to our hometown." Yi Qingqing said.

"Qingqing is right. Even if Qingqing doesn't get married in the future, she should have half of the house. You two siblings should buy the old house together!" Zhao Xianglan also said.

Su Cai did not refuse this time. Her sister was a person with a strong sense of boundaries and was unwilling to take advantage of others. She indeed owned half of the family.

As soon as the Housing Authority opened after the New Year, her family went to look at houses.

As soon as Su Cai arrived at the Housing Authority, she knew that the two houses chosen by Qingqing were indeed the most suitable and outstanding ones.

She was also very decisive in her actions. She went to see the house in person and sought the opinions of the whole family. Once everyone was satisfied, she bought it directly.

The old house was bought by Yi Qingqing and her brother and sister-in-law, each paying half of the money, and was transferred to the names of Yi's parents. The shop was bought in full by her sister-in-law.

After buying these two houses, Su Cai and her friends still had 4,350 yuan left from this year's dividends: "Qingqing, you said that this remaining money is just sitting there. Didn't you say that houses have great potential for appreciation in value in the future? How about I use this remaining money to buy a house and keep it there?"

"Yes, but with more than 4,000 yuan you can buy a small building facing the street in the imperial capital that can be used for living and opening a shop. Instead of buying a house in Nanping, it is better to buy one in Haishi or the imperial capital. Whether you live in a big city in the future or rent it out and wait for it to appreciate in value, it is more cost-effective than buying one in Nanping, where the rent is more expensive." Yi Qingqing suggested.

"It's better to buy in Haishi. The imperial capital is indeed prosperous, but the north is too cold. We went there last time and we still weren't used to it," said Su Cai.

However, she really couldn't spare the time to go to Hai City to buy a house now, as the braised food shop had to be prepared to open. If she asked her husband to take the money to look at houses, given his honest character, the money might be defrauded. Her parents-in-law would have to go to work in a few days.

Yi Qingqing saw her difficulty and said, "Sister-in-law, when Ayuan and I return to the capital this time, we will stay in Hai City for a few days to look at houses. If you are at ease, let your brother bring the money and go with us to buy a house, and I will help you with the consultation."

She received a large dividend this year, almost 19,000 yuan, plus the 3,000 yuan or so she received in the New Year gift packages every year in recent years.

Even though she rarely goes to the bank to sign in, she now has more than 28,000 yuan in savings.

So she had to find a way to spend some money.

But this time she didn't plan to buy too much. She would just buy a beautiful old villa and a townhouse shop similar to the ones on Xin'an Street in the imperial capital.

The budget is around 8,000 to 10,000 yuan.

Yi Qingqing likes the old house and plans to buy it for her own use. After graduation, she will work at the Advanced Drug Research Institute.

The two top pharmaceutical research institutes in the country are located in the imperial capital and Haishi respectively. She will definitely have to come to Haishi on business trips in the future, so it is necessary to prepare a house.

The other shops were bought to collect rent.

Yi Qingqing had other ideas for the remaining money.

After hearing this, Su Cai immediately decided to let her husband go with her, and she felt at ease knowing her sister would help her look for a house!

After the house issue was resolved, their family began to busy themselves with setting up the shop and moving into their new home.

Both houses are available for immediate use.

Over at the old house, Yi Qingqing and her brother and sister-in-law bought some furniture and daily necessities and were almost ready to move in. Little of the things in the old house in the compound were moved.
