Brother Deng spoke with a smile on his face in the living room.
"Oh, our old house is finally going to be moved. This is good. So, you can move directly to the steel plant." Father Deng was waiting for the old house to be demolished.
The house they live in now is a new house allocated by the unit and has heating.
Xiaochen’s new house also has heating.
There is only the eldest son, and the child is still young. There is no heating in the old house, and they are all worried that their grandson will not be able to bear the cold.
Brother Deng smiled and said, "No, we are planning to rent housing in our company. Our company built a new staff quarters last year.
It’s close to my workplace, and the housing is nice too. Xiaoqing and I should be able to apply for a two-bedroom apartment.”
"No, ask your boss if we can pay more and get a three-bedroom apartment."
Brother Deng laughed and said, "Dad, why do we need such a big house? Two rooms are enough."
"Don't we have a nanny? My kids will be older in a few years and we'll need our own room."
"Yes, brother, let's do it all in one go and get a three-bedroom apartment. If you don't have enough money, I have some here."
"Your sister-in-law and I are saving money. We have money."
Ying Han heard Brother Deng talking about the demolition outside.
I remembered that they were the ones who designed the railway bureau staff residential area last year.
"Sister-in-law, if you want a house near your workplace, choose Building 2 in the community, the west unit. Whether it's a three-family or a two-family unit, there's a bedroom with a deep bay window. The balcony in the living room over there is slightly larger than the other balconies, and there's a lot of sunlight over there.
If there is a third floor, choose the third floor, which is a decorative floor with a protruding terrace.
"Oh, really, I didn't realize that if there was a terrace, we could plant flowers and stuff. If the community had no objection, we could definitely partition off a new room.
That’s great, Hanhan, I’ll ask Daqing to ask tomorrow.”
"Well, this type of apartment is hard to come by. If someone knows how to find it, it will be snapped up soon. Let's take a look first."
"If all the spaces are occupied by the company's employees, we'll see if anyone is willing to sell them. We can even sell them to them for money." Mother Deng thinks it's nice to have a large terrace where she can dry clothes or plant some flowers.
After Brother Deng learned about this, he went to ask about it as soon as he got to work the next day.
As it turned out, there was one, but there was only a large apartment with four bedrooms left.
They hadn't thought of getting a four-bedroom apartment, and it was clear they weren't qualified for one.
This house was designed by Jiang Mo and two other people, and she only gave a suggestion at the time.
I didn't expect there were four-bedroom units.
"Xiao Jiang, why does the Railway Bureau have a four-bedroom apartment? Isn't a three-bedroom apartment the maximum standard?"
“Yes, that was the design at the time, but some leaders from the unit there said that they had many families and the three-bedroom apartment was not enough for them, so they asked if we could get a row of four-bedroom apartments.
Later, I had no choice but to design six units. The six floors to the right of the west unit in Building 2 were all those six units. The rest were all two-bedroom and three-bedroom units.
"In other words, the one with a terrace in Building 2 is a four-bedroom apartment."
"Yes, but the third floors of the other buildings are all design floors, all with terraces, some with two bedrooms, some with three bedrooms. You can ask your eldest brother to choose a building in another building."
"I just thought the balcony on the second floor was bigger."
"Yeah, that building has wider spaces between them, which is really nice."
"But my sister-in-law said that the four-bedroom apartment will cost an extra 20,000 yuan."
"Twenty thousand? That's a lot."
"A leader wanted that apartment before, but her daughter-in-law didn't want to live there. She wanted to live separately.
They had no choice but to take two smaller units. This one is left vacant. I think it's okay to pay an extra 20,000 yuan. The house is nice.
"Yeah, if you have the money, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pay it. You can then help them design it. That house is really nice. Well, speaking of which, let me tell you something. Xiao Shen and I are also planning to buy a house."
"Really? Congratulations. Where did you buy it?"
"It's in the city, very close to your small building, a bungalow with a big yard. I've observed it and it has room for appreciation." Jiang Mo smiled slyly, thinking highly of himself.
“If they are close to each other, then my small building might also have room for appreciation in value.”
"It's a must."
Brother Deng and his wife were unsure about this matter, so they came to ask Deng Chen and Ying Han for their opinions and help.
"Brother, if you like it, just buy it, don't hesitate." Deng Chen felt that the family was not short of this little money. His younger brother was in the construction industry and had built so many houses. If his family members were not comfortable living in them, what was the point of just working on other people's houses?
"Yes, brother, sister-in-law, if you like it, just buy it. Then I will help you design and decorate it."
"It's a four-bedroom apartment, 150 square meters. The living room is huge, the rooms are big too, there are two bathrooms, and there are two large balconies. The large terrace is nice too, but we don't think we'll need that many rooms."
They liked such a beautiful house, but suddenly they had to pay so much money and felt that the big house was a waste.
So I have been struggling with this matter.
"My wife and I only have a few thousand yuan in savings, and my parents-in-law said they'd give us a few thousand yuan if we bought a house. Together, we have about 14,000 to 15,000 yuan."
Twenty thousand yuan is far from enough. If we really buy it, we will be in debt and under pressure.”
Brother Deng scratched his head.
"Brother, buy it. I have the money here. Don't use my parents' money. I'll give you 20,000 yuan directly. You can use the rest of the money for renovation. 20,000 yuan is not a big deal. The house by the steel plant and the house allocated by the demolition here will cost tens of thousands of yuan in a few years. As the house price increases, wages will naturally increase as well.
You don't have to rush to pay me back, just give it to me whenever you have the money."
"How can that be? I have 5,000 yuan on me. If I want to buy a house, it will be enough. I will pay off the debts as soon as possible. If you think the house is good, we will buy it."
Brother Deng and Sister-in-law Xiaoqing just wanted to hear some words of comfort. They actually wanted this house too.
Deng Chen gave them 20,000 yuan, but Brother Deng refused to take it.
Before leaving, Ying Han secretly put it in his sister-in-law's bag.
After they returned home, they turned around again.
Say nothing.
No matter how much we push and pull, we still can't get things done as efficiently as Mr. Deng.
Mr. Deng went directly to the leader of Brother Deng’s unit.
After two days of negotiation, we finally agreed on two thousand yuan.
I made up for it with 18,000 yuan, but in the end the money was not enough, so I had to use Deng Chen's 10,000 yuan.
Ying Han said that since he had already spent so much money on the new house, he didn't mind spending so little on decoration.
My sister-in-law thinks so too.
The decoration work was handed over to Ying Han.
Ying Han redesigned the room for his sister-in-law. The room was quite large, so he knocked down the wall and made it smaller, creating a storage room.
