"After smashing the bricks, they took away all the bricks that could still be used, and left all the broken pieces and unwanted garbage here. Old Liu didn't have the energy to clean it up by himself, so it's a mess now."
"The layout of his house is similar to mine, except it's only about 10 square meters smaller. The layouts of the houses on our street are basically the same."
After Lao Qu finished speaking, Lao Liu took over and said, "Just find someone to clear these things out and throw them away. Once the garbage is thrown away, the yard will look pretty much the same.
After cleaning up the mess and spending some money to fix what needs to be fixed, the house can be lived in. ”
Qiao Xinyi and the others just listened but didn't say anything for the time being. They walked around the whole house and found that this apartment was different from the one she had ordered before.
There is a well in this house.
But when you actually move in, you'll need running water, so having one more or one less well won't make much difference.
Xiao Wang followed Qiao Xinyi and Min Huiqin and whispered, "The other situation is similar to this one. Those people who were forced to move away have resentment in their hearts.
Several families deliberately smeared dust and urinated on the walls when they left, which was quite uncivilized. ”
"Uncle Qu is lucky. One of the people who lives in his house is a leader of a certain unit. That leader is a person of integrity. All the people who live in his house are well-behaved people.
Even though we were resentful when we moved out, the leader was there to keep us calm, so no one dared to smash things or urinate on them, so the house turned out pretty good after it was vacated. ”
The owner, Lao Liu, waited for Qiao Xinyi and the others to finish their round before he said, "If you want my house, I'll pay five bucks less than Lao Qu. The five bucks less will be used as compensation for you to clean up the garbage and repair the house. Is that okay?"
After he finished speaking, Lao Liu remembered to ask, "How much did Lao Qu sell his house for?"
"Four thousand five." Lao Qu answered himself.
After listening to this, Lao Liu was silent for several seconds, then he sighed and nodded, "Well, it's sold after all, and the one who sold it is our own."
"It sounds like you're not one of us yet?" Xiao Wang asked with a smile.
"Aren't there a lot of foreigners coming to Beijing recently? A few days ago, a man from a beautiful country passed by here and praised our house for being beautiful from the outside. I was listening to him praising it, so I casually asked, if you think it's beautiful, then just buy it."
"I just asked that question, but I didn't expect that the man actually wanted to buy it. However, he didn't buy it to live in it. He wanted to dismantle the tiles, pillars, and beams of my house and send them back to his country. When I heard that, I didn't agree."
"Wouldn't it be enough if these foreigners had demolished so many things in our country earlier?" Old Qu said with a pout, "If the houses in my own country are rotten, I won't demolish them and sell them to them."
Lao Qu didn't nod.
I think so, and I also want to do so.
But if no one buys the house, they will have no choice but to have some money.
They are not in good health and don’t know if they can find suitable jobs if they go abroad.
You can't ask others for money when you go out to spend a little money.
I heard that you can do business abroad. If you want to do something abroad, you need to have some money in your hand.
If no one really wants to buy the house, for the sake of money, not only will the house be demolished, but the house will have to be dug up and sold.
"Four thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. I won't rush you. You can think about it for two days." Lao Liu waved his hand, "You can go to Lao Lu's house and take a look."
Feng Weidang looked at Qiao Xinyi and saw her nod. Then they went out and went to the old Lu's house as they mentioned.
Lao Lu also went home and, like Lao Liu, cleaned up a room and lived there reluctantly.
The condition of his house is similar to that of Old Liu's. You can indeed smell feces and urine when you walk into one of the side rooms.
There is a well in the corner of the back room.
The price he wanted was the same as Lao Liu's, which was five yuan less than Lao Qu's.
They were all old neighbors for decades, and even though there was a competitive relationship, Lao Liu and Lao Lu didn't say much, just let Qiao Xinyi see for herself.
After looking at the house, Qiao Xinyi took Feng Weidang and Min Huiqin to a corner to chat.
"Old Lu has decided on this set for Tang Yuanchao. Who will buy the other set?" Qiao Xinyi looked at Feng Weidang and then at Min Huiqin.
"Why should I buy this house?" Feng Weidang shook his head. "Although I don't have 4,000 yuan, it's my wife's money. I don't have a house to live in. It's useless to buy it. I have to spend money to find someone to clean it up."
"I'll rent it out if I buy it." Qiao Xinyi said, "I think four thousand yuan is a lot, and it will cost money to hire someone to clean up the house, but it can be rented out after it's cleaned up."
"We only charge a few dollars for each room. With such a large house and so many rooms, even if we can't fully rent them out, we can still get back the money we paid for the house by renting out four or five more rooms." Qiao Xinyi looked at the two of them as she calculated the bill for them.
"I still have to come and collect the rent every month. It's a waste of time and trouble." Feng Weidang waved his hand, "Don't persuade me. I don't want it."
Qiao Xinyi looked at Min Huiqin again.
Women, especially married women, think more.
"My current house has two bedrooms, which is enough for us to live in." Min Huiqin said.
"But if I have another child in the future, the house won't be spacious enough for the child to grow up. Although I can build another partition, the room will be very small and there will be no living room."
"Without a living room, even guests can't come to the house." Qiao Xinyi nodded. "Besides, when the children grow up, they will get married and start a family. Young people in the future will definitely not like to live with their parents-in-law. The young couple needs their own space."
As a married person, Min Huiqin nodded repeatedly, "That's right. Although I can wait for the company to provide me with housing, it's also very difficult, especially for young children."
"Then I'll buy it." Min Huiqin said, "When I can't live in my own house, I can rent it out like you said. After renting it out for a few days, the money I'll have for buying a house will be back."
"When the children grow up and get married, we can let them move here. It's spacious here."
Min Huiqin said, "I heard from my husband that you bought a small Western-style building and an old yard in your hometown in the provincial capital and rebuilt it. What do you think?"
"I want to buy a house as an investment." Qiao Xinyi said honestly, "Think about our ancestors. Didn't those who had money buy houses and land? We can't buy land now, so why not buy a house if we can? This is still the capital, and this land is still under the imperial city. It's impossible that no one will live in the houses here in the future, right?"
Min Huiqin thought about it for nearly an hour, but couldn't find any way to refute Qiao Xinyi's words.
It sounds like it's true.
If she has a daughter in the future and a house as a dowry, she will be more confident when she gets married.
"I want Lao Liu's set!" Min Huiqin confirmed it, turned around and said to Feng Weidang, "Go talk to Xiao Wang, I have to go back to get the passbook to withdraw the money."
