Being ridiculed for buying a house
On Saturday, Jian Jianan sat in the living room, flipping through documents in his hands.
Just then, Jian Jiabei was about to go out to play basketball. Seeing his sister's actions, he immediately joked, "Boss Jian, are you picking a new house for us again?"
His sister has been preparing for a rainy day recently. She dreams about the group of people from her hometown suddenly appearing outside the small building, and has been looking for a suitable address for her new home.
Seeing that someone was concerned, Jian Jiabei felt relieved.
He was a rough man and had never had any expectations for where to live. He just wanted a small room, and it would be even better if it could accommodate various sports equipment.
In his opinion, living with his family is the most important thing. As long as he has his family with him, anywhere is home.
But Jian Jianan obviously didn't think so.
"Yeah, Mom and Dad are busy, and you don't..." Considering her brother's face, she swallowed the two words.
"Then I have the only one who can do it." Jian Jianan's little face showed maturity and reliability.
"I've thought carefully about it. Our new home needs to meet two requirements simultaneously: it needs to be close to school for us to attend, and close to restaurants for my parents to work. But I've looked at a lot of places these days, and I haven't found a perfect address that meets both requirements. I'm really worried."
"Don't worry, don't worry, everything will work out in the end. With Boss Jian taking action, is there anything that cannot be accomplished?" Jian Jiabei was only thinking about going out to play, so he absentmindedly comforted his sister a few words and went out to play.
Jian Jianan was left at home, continuing to look through the information.
At noon, Shan Jiqing, who had an appointment with Jian Jianan earlier, also came with his small schoolbag.
He put down his schoolbag, and the first thing he did was to take out a thick stack of information from it and handed it to Jian Jianan solemnly.
"Nannan, I found an address for your new home. It's very suitable for your current situation. It's like it was tailor-made for you."
"This is the information about the Donghu Liyuan community, this is the target plan, and this is the government cooperation details."
Shan Jiqing showed Jian Jianan all the information that he, a small person, could collect. He placed it on the coffee table and looked at Jian Jianan intently, almost wagging his tail to convince her.
But Shan Jiqing knew that Jian Jianan was not someone who could be easily moved by words.
If you want to persuade her to do something, list the reasons, logic, pros and cons one by one, and she will make her own judgment.
As expected, even though Shan Jiqing didn't say anything, Jian Jianan had already picked them up and looked at them one by one with great interest.
"Huh? Is this a collaboration between our city government and the businessmen from Hong Kong?"
"We provide the land and they pay for it, so the final profit is split 85-85, with 8.5% for us and 1.5% for them."
"East Lake Park is a three-phase construction project. Sales will begin in 1980, which is this year. Residents will be able to move in upon completion, and the project will be fully completed by 1984."
Jian Jianan is indeed a natural-born money-lover. Coupled with the various experiences she had gained from being with her parents for more than a year, she subconsciously found the most crucial information.
"It's a new housing distribution model. This is not only a precedent in Guangdong Province, but also unique in the country. It seems everyone is determined to develop the economy. I'm optimistic about Shenzhen!"
Jian Jianan roughly finished browsing the information and looked at Shan Jiqing: "Xiaoqing, you suddenly come to tell me all this, are you going to move to a new house too?"
Shan Jiqing nodded. "Yes, my father and his colleagues are the initiators of this policy. Although the central government has approved the plan and the houses are now under construction and will be completed soon, there are still many people in the bureau who oppose it and want to see it made fun of!"
"My father said that as the initiator, if he doesn't have the confidence to carry out this project, then no one else will have the confidence either. So my family has decided to subscribe to a house and move in once it's built."
Shan Jiqing said this and slowly looked at Jian Jianan: "But, if that's the case, we'll be separated, but I don't want to be separated from you."
What he said here was all from his heart. He was originally a person who didn't care about anything. It didn't matter where he lived, what he ate, and who he played with.
But after knowing Jian Jianan for so many days, Shan Jiqing suddenly realized that being with her was actually the most reassuring thing.
Jian Jianan laughed when she heard this, and she also made a promise: "We will not separate."
After spending so much time together, Jian Jianan discovered that Shan Jiqing was very different from other boys of the same age. He was not like the annoying and naughty little boys he had met before.
On the contrary, he was calm and composed, and could keep up with Jian Jianan's thinking. Sometimes other people didn't understand what Jian Jianan was saying, but Shan Jiqing could not only understand it but also draw inferences from it.
She felt that Shan Jiqing was the best partner and ally, and if possible, she didn't want to separate from him.
What's more, this time Shan Jiqing also brought the best good news, a new commercial house. Jian Jianan believed that they would still be together this time, just like the previous ten months.
All she had to do next was to convince her parents, which was not a difficult task for her.
I think my parents said this morning that they would be back early today, so that’s good. It’s better to do it today than to wait for another day.
dinner.
After the family of three finished their meal, Jian Jianan immediately raised his hand and said, "I have something important to discuss with you."
Various martial arts novels are very popular in the class now. Jian Jianan rarely has the habits of a child, and is no exception. There is a bit of "jianghu habits" in his words and deeds.
Jian Yangping was amused. He cleared his throat and asked, "Ahem, does our little heroine Jian have anything to say?"
"Yes!" Jian Jianan took out the commercial housing complex information that he had prepared long ago and showed it to his parents one by one.
"Huh? What is this?" Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping were both very surprised. Even when showing her parents her report card after the final exam, their daughter would never have such a solemn expression.
While everyone was looking at the information in their hands, Jian Jianan spoke: "Some time ago, because of the visits from my grandparents, aunts and uncles, our family decided to change our address and prepare to move."
"I know Mom and Dad have looked at many places, but none of them were satisfactory. However, as God has provided, I found a place today that will definitely satisfy us all!"
"Oh? Then I'll wait and see." Su Qinxuan raised his eyebrows, looked up from the information, looked at his daughter, and listened to her thoughts.
Now, Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping are consciously or unconsciously cultivating the business qualities of their two children.
I'm not afraid that her questions are childish, I'm just afraid that she has no questions.
Not only do they encourage Jian Jianan and Jian Jiabei to ask questions actively, they also sometimes take the initiative to ask questions about some things they encounter in business, and answer their questions when they are confused and don't understand, striving to cultivate the most qualified successors who can even reach a higher level.
Daughters always give them many surprises, but sons cannot be counted on.
The same is true this time.
Jian Jianan immediately started talking: "I've carefully examined this commercial housing project. It's the first commercial housing community in the country. Although we haven't seen anything similar, this model has long appeared in Hong Kong."
"This residential complex is called Donghu Liyuan. Hong Kong businessmen are collaborating with the government. Once you sign the purchase contract, you'll have the property ownership certificate. All other formal documents are also readily available. This is guaranteed by the government, so don't worry!"
This touched the hearts of the two adults. Although the small building they lived in now was comfortable in every way, it was not a permanent place. It was just a transitional place. Just from the fact that it had no property certificate, the two adults would not feel at ease living there forever.
Even if the incident with their hometown had not happened, they would still have to find another place to move to.
Jian Jianan spoke for a long time and felt a little thirsty, so he stopped to drink some water to moisten his throat. Then he blinked and looked at his parents, waiting for their decision.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't mentioned the most important thing yet. The price of commercial housing in Donghu Liyuan is 1,000 yuan per square meter. There are eight or nine room types. Among them, the three-bedroom, two-living room house I think is the most suitable for us.
Originally, Jian Jiabei didn't take it seriously and was just eating his meal there, but when he heard the price, he immediately jumped up.
"What? So expensive!"
He looked at his parents anxiously: "This is too expensive, Mom and Dad, why spend that much money? Can't we just wait for the opportunity to get a room upstairs?"
If it's one thousand yuan per square meter, then wouldn't sixty square meters cost sixty thousand yuan?
This is too expensive!
Jian Jianan turned his head to look at his brother. He couldn't let him convince his parents. Even if the possibility was very small, he had to eliminate it.
"Brother, you said we have to wait for housing allocation, but there is no one in our family working in the factory anymore, so who will come to share the housing with us?"
At this time, there are only a few ways for people to get a house.
One is gift, inheritance from other places, and the most common is inheritance between relatives.
Another thing is that I am waiting for the public institution to allocate housing.
This was the case with Jian Jianan’s former home on the island.
However, housing allocation by the company is not a set thing. Sometimes it depends on seniority and years of service, and other times it is purely a matter of connections. In the past, people were more simple, and Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan were able to get the two apartments through their own efforts.
If it were today, it would be difficult to get a new house without some connections.
You said you have the qualifications?
He has more experience than you!
You said you have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and you feel pressured to provide for them?
Look at what you said, who doesn’t have pressure!
In short, even though it was the first time he heard of this new model, Jian Jianan keenly smelled business opportunities from it, and there was also a new possibility - the model for obtaining a house in the future might very well be like this.
The brother and sister looked at the adults together, wanting to know their final answer.
Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan looked at each other.
"Old Jane, what do you think?"
"I'll be busy these few days to finalize the recipes for the rice dumplings, so I can free up time next weekend."
"Okay, that's just what I want!"
on Monday.
The two children walked on the road, silent between them.
In the past, the brother and sister had a lot to talk about, but now they walked all the way without saying a word.
It was mainly Jian Jiabei. He had a stern face and looked like he was in a very bad mood. He ignored his sister when she spoke to him.
Jian Jianan said she understood. Her brother was a moody person, and there were always a few days every month when he didn't want to talk to anyone. She was used to it. After speaking to him and getting only a few perfunctory "hmmmm" responses, Jian Jianan ignored him and continued to think about choosing a house.
Suddenly, my brother's voice rang out overhead: "Nannan, why are you trying so hard to get Mom and Dad to buy a house?"
Finally he couldn't help it and asked.
Jian Jiabei couldn't understand it. Compared with the previous situation, the current situation was completely different. He was already living a good life, so why did his sister always want to make trouble?
Jian Jiabei said gloomily, "Nannan, we don't need to buy a house. Even if we don't get a room, wouldn't it be better to rent one? This way we can spend a lot less money, at least not tens of thousands of yuan."
Jian Jianan replied seriously: "It's good, but these are all rented. We still need to buy a house to feel at ease."
Even Jian Jiabei, who was full of doubts, agreed with this. Just like the shop of Nanbei Restaurant, they felt much more at ease after buying it. They no longer had to worry about being chased away one day. They felt a sense of satisfaction when they went to work in the restaurant every day.
"But this restaurant is different from housing. A restaurant must be opened in a shop, but we don't have to buy a house to rent. We can rent it. The price of buying can be much higher than renting. We can use the money saved to open more small restaurants. This is not cost-effective."
Jian Jianan had already tried hard to convince her parents, so it was not difficult for her to explain things to her brother.
"How can this not be a good deal? House prices will definitely go up in the future. Just think about how much our rent was at the beginning and how much it is now? It's more than double what it was before. If the rent is like this, what about house prices?"
Seeing his brother unmoved, Jian Jianan used his trump card: "Besides, if you buy a commercial residential house in this Donghu community, one house will give you three city household registrations. We don't have to go through the trouble of asking someone to transfer our connections to transfer our household registrations!"
Jian Jiabei's expression was deeply moved. This resonated deeply with his family. Their household registration was still registered in Hainan Island. Although they had planned to settle in Shenzhen, transferring their household registration there was no easy task. Even if they asked someone to find connections, it would still take a long time.
"If my brother hasn't transferred his household registration here by the time he takes the college entrance examination, he will have to go back to his hometown to take the exam. That's not possible. First, the scores are different in different places, so he has an advantage here. The second reason is that our family plans to settle down here in the future, so it would be better to transfer his household registration here as soon as possible." This policy of giving three city household registrations for one house is a bonus invented by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau to stimulate people to buy houses. It is said to be a cooperation with Hong Kong, but only a part of the profits are distributed to them, and the bulk of the profits still go to the Shenzhen Municipal Government.
Unexpectedly, this policy touched the hearts of the parents. They originally wanted to move from Hainan Island to Shenzhen for the education of their two children. The lack of schooling in their hometown was the direct trigger for the family to move.
They also looked at the new policies released this year. The household registration can be transferred slowly, but if there is a quick way, they would be more willing to do it.
Jian Jiabei couldn't believe it: "Is it true? Is this policy true? Why didn't I see it yesterday?"
He just felt that his sister was like a magical female knight who convinced his parents with just a few words. He thought that these three people were too hasty. How could they decide the matter in one night without further discussion?
Jian Jianan found it funny. "Brother, these are all in the information I collected. You may not have seen it, but Mom and Dad have seen it. I think that giving the household registration is also an important reason for Mom and Dad to agree to buy a house."
In order to attract people to buy this new project, the government has racked its brains and even used the trick of giving away household registration when buying a house.
However, this gift hit the nail on the head for Jane's family, and since buying a house is a necessity for them now, it's even more worthwhile.
After listening to Jian Jianan's explanation, his brother's face finally cleared up.
So that’s how it is!
Jian Jiabei thought, no wonder his parents made the decision on the spot, it turns out the benefits were greater than the output.
In this way, not only the housing problem is solved, but also the household registration problem is solved at the same time, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
When Jian Jiabei thought of this, he felt embarrassed. The scene of how he treated his sister just now quickly came to his mind. He ignored Jian Jianan. Now thinking about it, he really shouldn't have done that.
My sister is obviously doing this for the good of the family, so why am I so ignorant as to give her a cold shoulder?
When they were about to reach the school and stepped into the school gate, Jian Jiabei suddenly asked his sister in a low voice.
"Nannan, do you sometimes feel that your brother is...too useless?"
Jian Jianan was shocked: "How could it be, brother! How could you have such an idea?"
She was really shocked. Jian Jiabei always had a happy face and looked as if he didn't care about anything. How could he have such thoughts in his mind and belittle himself as worthless?
Jian Jiabei was unhappy and walked with his head down. "It's true. It seems that everyone has been focusing on business since coming to Shenzhen. Of course, I don't mean to say it's bad. It's certainly good. It's a big improvement over our previous life. But I always can't understand your conversations with Mom and Dad. I don't understand how you run a restaurant, how you recruit people, or how you solve problems."
"For example, this time, you all made the decision to buy a new house so tacitly, and I was still angry with you. Only after listening to you did I know the reason."
"Do you think my brother is useless and doesn't even know these things?"
Having said that, Jian Jiabei turned his head and looked at his sister with a serious expression.
Jian Jianan was stunned for just a second, then immediately denied it righteously, "Of course not!"
She suddenly raised her voice and denied it in a hurry, which scared the passing birds.
Jian Jiabei said dejectedly: "Don't try to fool me. I know my own abilities. I have strong limbs but a simple mind. I don't know these things at all."
Jian Jianan knew that his brother had a knot in his heart. If he didn't find a way to resolve it, he would still think this way no matter how much he denied it, so he changed his approach.
Jian Jianan asked him: "Brother, do you think I am a burden?"
"What?"
Jian Jiabei, who was immersed in his own sadness, was stunned. "What did you say?"
"burden?"
"How could that be? I definitely wouldn't think so!"
"You are my sister, how could I think you are a burden?"
She added slowly, "Brother, think about it. When we were in our hometown, I was always sick as a child. Mom and Dad were busy with work, so whenever they asked you to take care of me, I remember that many times the kids from the neighborhood would come to play basketball with you, but you always refused."
"You've given up so much because of me. Do you really not consider me a burden?"
Jian Jiabei almost raised his hand and swore to the sky. Heaven and earth knew it all. No matter how he and his sister bickered or quarreled on weekdays, he never had a single moment in his life where he felt that his sister was a burden and wanted to abandon her.
Jian Jianan laughed happily when he saw his brother looking like he was facing a great enemy.
She spread her hands and said, "So, brothers and sisters are connected by heart. Brother, you don't think I'm a burden or a nuisance, so how could I look down on you?"
In just a few words and by putting himself in the other person's shoes, Jian Jiabei sorted out all the random thoughts he had been having in the past few days.
She patted her brother's shoulder and said solemnly, "It's just that everyone learns things at different times, and everyone specializes in different skills. We both excel in different areas. For example, I'm not as good at various sports as you, brother. I can't make a shot in basketball, and I even throw the racket in table tennis."
"Brother, you are a sharpshooter. You never miss a shot. When you have the ball in your hands, you obey orders like a soldier under a general. I can't do that."
Jian Jiabei thought about what his sister said, and was immediately relieved by her praise, and his whole body was submissive.
Seeing his sister looking at him with a smile, Jian Jiabei put his fingers to the tip of his nose and smiled very embarrassedly.
"Hey, I see what you mean."
Seeing that he was no longer stubborn, Jian Jianan felt relieved and followed his brother into the classroom.
As soon as Jian Jianan entered the classroom, the first thing he did was to chat with his classmates.
Those who wanted to greet each other greeted each other, and those who wanted to share snacks shared snacks. Jian Jianan was very popular in the class and even in the whole school. She was like the only source of heat in winter, and everyone couldn't help but want to get close to her.
But today, the warm and lively class atmosphere is a little different from usual.
When Zhang Yu saw Jian Jianan sitting down, he was like a jackal or tiger that had spotted its target. He immediately poked Jian Jianan with a pencil and asked her, "Why are you so happy? If I were you, I wouldn't be able to smile."
Jian Jianan felt a prick from the sharp tip of the pen and subconsciously waved away the pencil.
"Why can't I laugh?" Jian Jianan asked back.
If Jian Jianan is the one with the best popularity, then Zhang Yu is just the opposite. He has a very bad popularity, especially after the incident of looking for Liang Kanggaomi, no one in the class wants to pay attention to him.
He came to Jian Jianan today with bad intentions.
"Of course it's because of the new house you bought!"
"I say, doesn't your family run a small restaurant? How could you be so stupid and short-sighted as to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a house?"
"Will the capital be completely lost by then, and the restaurant go bankrupt?"
