◎Dawn◎
Jiang Che immediately ran home and told Wei Xuan the good news.
Wei Xuan was also very happy. After waiting for several years, they could finally have their own house.
The couple hurried back to their room and took out all the money in the house. They had been delayed in the first half of the year because of the child, and in the middle because Zhong Yulan took a two-month break. In total, they had only been doing business for eight months. The money was not comparable to last year or the year before, but they still made a lot of money.
Adding up the savings from several years, I was actually not far from becoming a ten thousand dollar household.
Jiang Che lay on his back with his arms under his head: "Wife, why do I feel this is so unreal?"
Wei Xuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "The money is all here, what's there to be afraid of? It's not like you earned it all in one go, you haven't gotten used to it after looking at it for so long!"
"That's right. This is just the beginning. We will definitely make more money when we open a store." He then reached out and patted his daughter who was sleeping soundly beside him: "Dad will definitely make a lot of money for you."
Wei Xuan couldn't bear to watch it and became proud.
...
...
"Let's wait until your store is really open!"
Jiang Che propped himself up and sat up: "Now that you have bought the house, are you still worried about not being able to open the store? Just wait, I promise to buy the house back for you before the New Year."
"That's great. I've been waiting for you to say that."
Wei Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If you see a good house, remember to take me to see it. In addition to the storefront, we should also take a look at the house we live in. The place we live in now is good, but unfortunately this house belongs to the collective unit of the factory and it probably won't be sold in a short time. We still have to have a house of our own to live in peace." Living here, who knows when the factory will take it back.
"Leave it to me."
Actually, Wei Xuan really wanted to go for a walk around the neighborhood herself, but the weather was too cold, and it was inconvenient for her to carry her daughter with her, so she could only leave the matter to Jiang Che.
Fortunately, Jiang Che did not let her down. A few days before the Chinese New Year, he came back excitedly and told her that the house issue was settled.
"Tomorrow at noon, you can coax your daughter to sleep, and then ask the third brother to come and help us look after her for a while. I will take a leave when I am free to take you to see her."
"Okay, just tell Third Brother in advance in the evening." Wei Xuan wished she could go and see it right now.
Third Brother Wei has been in Beijing these two days. When he received his brother-in-law's request, he agreed without hesitation.
The next day, Jiang Che asked his boss for more than an hour off after get off work at noon, and then rode his bike home.
Wei Xuan had already prepared hot water and noodles, and let Jiang Che eat as soon as he came back. After eating, the two of them went out to look at houses.
Brother Wei San watched them leave and couldn't help but shout, "Come back soon, your little ancestor has woken up and I can't comfort him."
Wei Xuan was like a bird just out of a cage. She waved goodbye to her third brother and headed towards her destination.
"There are four in total. The one we are going to now is in a tube-shaped building in the old city. How can I describe this place? Everything else about it is good, except that you have to climb stairs. It may be inconvenient to go up and down with your children. Also, the building is not as spacious as the one we live in now."
When the two arrived, there was already an old lady waiting there. When she saw Jiang Che, she came over with a smile.
Jiang Che introduced Wei Xuan: "This is the director of the street in this area. The house we are going to see today was found by her."
"Director Li, this is my wife. I am mainly bringing her to see the house today."
Director Li smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take you up there now. The original resident of this house was an old leader of the unit. As he got old, his son took him in to live in retirement. The house here has been vacant. His son said that he probably won't come back in the future, so he asked me to help rent it out. Later, when the policy changed, he said it would be easier to sell it."
As they were talking, they came to the sixth floor. Wei Xuan didn't expect that this was a two-family house with one elevator. It was much better than the buildings she had rented before.
There is only one neighbor across the street, and the house has a separate bathroom and kitchen.
Director Li opened the door and said, "The furniture in here has not been taken away. You can continue to use it. Besides, the couple who lived here before were very particular about things, so they kept the house in good condition."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xuan looked around and nodded in her heart. Indeed, although the house here was a bit old, it was kept very clean inside and hardly needed any renovation. One could move in right away with their luggage.
Seeing that Wei Xuan liked it, Jiang Che asked Director Li, "Is this house still at the same price you mentioned before?"
"Yes, 1,600 yuan. Even though this house is on the sixth floor, it is still a building after all."
In fact, if Wei Xuan were to say, she still prefers a big yard, but it is true that buildings are more popular now, and it is really worth it to buy a house with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom in Beijing for 1,600 yuan.
So she nodded to Jiang Che, indicating that she could sell it.
Now that his wife likes it, what else can Jiang Che say? Just buy it!
However, there was no time to go and handle the transfer today, so I made an appointment with Director Li, and the two of us rode our bicycles to the next place.
This time it was a courtyard house. The two of them rode their bikes to the door, and Jiang Che went forward and knocked on it.
The person who opened the door was an old man in his sixties or seventies.
Seeing Jiang Che, he probably knew that he was here to see the house, so he opened the door and let the two of them in.
This courtyard was not particularly large, but of course it was much larger than the upside-down house they were currently living in. This was at least a proper courtyard.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the main house, which has five rooms in a row, three wing rooms on each side, and the yard is estimated to be about 50 to 60 square meters.
But this yard looks very dilapidated at first glance. If I buy it, I may have to renovate it before I can live in it.
In particular, there are many traces of construction in the yard, and even in the corners there are some wood and bricks that have not been completely removed.
Seeing that they were looking at it seriously, the old man knew that they were people who really wanted to buy the house, so he said a few more words: "I just returned this house a few days ago, and I don't plan to live here, so I haven't done much with it. If you really want to buy it, I can sell it to you at a discount of one thousand yuan."
Wei Xuan's eyes lit up when she heard that. It was only a thousand yuan, she had to buy it.
After leaving the yard, Jiang Che told Wei Xuan that this old man had a bad background in the past, his family’s house was confiscated, and his only son was sent abroad. Now he was finally rehabilitated and returned to the city, but his wife passed away, and he was the only one left in the family.
"If he sells the house, where will he live?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "He has another house that is a little smaller than this one. He probably plans to live there. He is old now, and he probably fears that his relatives will take advantage of the two houses, so he just sold them and is done with it."
Wei Xuan nodded, as long as she had a place to live.
The third place and the fourth place are connected, but they do not belong to the same company. This is a storefront, very close to the supply and marketing cooperative where Wei Xuan used to work, and there are residential buildings nearby.
I have to say that Jiang Che is very good at finding houses. This place is a good place to do business.
The two houses have the same layout, both are long and narrow, and are estimated to be about 30 square meters.
She asked Jiang Che: "Did they say how much the house cost?"
"Eight hundred per room."
This is a bit expensive. A piece of land as big as a courtyard house only costs one thousand yuan.
Unfortunately, the landlords of these two houses refused to lower the price as if they had agreed upon it, and acted as if it was up to you to buy it or not.
Wei Xuan thought about it and pulled Jiang Che aside and asked, "Do you have enough time? If you have enough time, buy both of them. I've brought the money. You can go to the Housing Authority with them and transfer the account now."
To put it bluntly, seeing these two people like this, Wei Xuan was afraid that they would raise the price.
Section 50
Jiang Che didn't really want to buy it: "Why don't we look for other houses? There are many houses. It doesn't have to be here." The two of them were obviously doing it on purpose. How could this house be worth so much money? He didn't want to spoil them. Sell it to whoever they want. He didn't want to be a sucker.
Wei Xuan mainly thought that the house had a good location, and her family could afford it even if it was a hundred or two hundred yuan more expensive. Moreover, Jiang Che didn't know, but she knew that any loss now would be earned back dozens of times in the future. Thinking of this, she was not so angry at the two landlords in front of her.
Seeing that she really wanted it, Jiang Che finally compromised: "Okay, then I'll go with them, what are you going to do?"
"This place is not far from home, I can walk back by myself."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Che agreed: "Okay, then be careful on the road."
"Okay, I know. Go ahead."
Jiang Che reluctantly walked up to the two house owners and said, "I want both houses. Can I go and transfer the ownership now?"
"Ah?" The two homeowners were also confused. In fact, they just wanted to extort more money from Jiang Che and Wei Xuan because they looked young. They had originally thought that if they said a few more words, they would lower the price. Why did they suddenly agree without following the rules?
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Che waited impatiently: "Can you tell me whether it's OK or not?" He had other things to do, so he didn't have the time to waste with them.
"Oh, okay, but why did you buy so many houses?"
"Why are there so many questions? I'm willing to pay for it, so all you have to do is collect the money. Let's go, the Housing Authority should be open for business now."
Seeing the three people riding away on their bikes, Wei Xuan broke into a big smile, turned around and walked happily in the opposite direction of them.
When they got home, Wei Sange heard the noise and came out of the house. When he saw her, he asked, "Where's your brother-in-law? Why are you back alone?"
Wei Xuan first walked to the main room and poured a glass of water to warm her hands, then said, "It's really cold outside. He went with someone to handle the transfer, and I walked back by myself. Brother, we bought a storefront not far from the supply and marketing cooperative. When my store opens in the future, you can sell the food at home in my store."
Third Brother Wei asked in disbelief, "How long should I wait for your store to open? You and your brother-in-law said before that you would be able to do business openly soon, but half a year has passed. Now I have to hide from place to place when I go out to sell some food. I was almost caught two days ago. Those people chased me so hard that the soles of my shoes were worn out. When I went home that night, your third sister-in-law complained to me for a long time."
Wei Xuan held back her laughter: "Really, it's really going to be quick this time, don't worry."
As a result, what Wei Xuan said was not fulfilled until August of the following year.
One day in August of 1980, Wei Xuan was eating as usual when she heard a news report on the radio saying that the country should support individual economies and not discriminate against or make things difficult for them.
Dawn, isn’t it coming?
