In fact, the two of them originally preferred buildings. But after living in Yu You's courtyard house, their ideas changed.
Qin Zhichu discussed it with Yu Rou.
"I think courtyard houses are better. You don't have to worry about the noise disturbing the people downstairs, and you don't have to worry about being disturbed by the neighbors upstairs or on the left and right."
Yu Rou nodded and said, "I also think the courtyard house is quieter and more private. It also has its own yard. There's plenty of space for children to play around."
After the two of them discussed it, they went to find Yu You to look at houses together.
There were no restrictions on home purchases back then, but there were also no real estate agents. Beneath a large locust tree, a group of elderly women chatted and ate sunflower seeds.
Yu You, Yu Rou and Qin Zhichu promised commissions.
Whoever recommends a house that is successfully sold will be given 50 yuan. Even if the deal is not completed, they will still receive 2 yuan as a reward for running around for a day.
What did 2 yuan buy in 1977? Two and a half kilograms of pork, or more than ten kilograms of salt.
The sunflower seeds in the aunties' hands suddenly lost their fragrance. They turned around and went into the alleys, visiting neighbors and asking for help in finding houses.
There is strength in numbers, and soon all the nearby houses were available.
The group first looked at two large courtyards. Although they were large enough and the price was low, they were still occupied.
Several families live together in one courtyard, with one family squeezed into one or two rooms, which seems very difficult to clear out.
Yu You: "Is the owner responsible for clearing out the current residents when he sells the house?"
Auntie: "Whoever bought the house owns it. Since you bought it, you naturally have the right to ask them to move out."
The three of them were afraid of trouble and refused directly.
I immediately said I would only look at single-family homes, which reduced the number of properties I could find by two-thirds.
There are very few quaint courtyard houses, and it was difficult to find one for sale.
It's the kind of house that's about to collapse and has a narrow yard. The area is really too small.
Neither Qin Zhichu nor Yu Rou was interested.
In the end, we could only set our sights on some courtyard houses that people had built in recent years.
Two families had their children allocated apartments, so they moved in with their children. They planned to sell their courtyard houses at a high price to support their retirement.
Their courtyard houses have three rooms each in the east, west, south and north. The yard is not big, but there is running water in the yard.
There is a public toilet in the alley outside, so life is quite convenient.
Both were located in the middle of an alley, making them relatively safe. What pleased Yu Rou and Qin Zhichu most was that the two houses were opposite each other in the same alley.
This is so convenient. Although the house is not very beautiful, they can renovate it or even tear it down and rebuild it in a few years.
Another family is an elderly couple with no children. They want to sell their house and return to their hometown to live with their nephew.
However, they initially thought that there were not enough people living there, so they only built three main rooms on the south side and three lower kitchens on the north side.
The yard naturally became a lot bigger.
However, this courtyard faces the street on two sides.
It's a perfect storefront. It can be rebuilt into a corner building with several floors, which can be rented out or used for business.
Yu You couldn't help but bought them all.
In fact, she also wanted to buy the house that was about to collapse and save it for demolition!
She was just afraid that her sister and sister-in-law would think she was sick.
Forget it, she'll have a chance to make a separate acquisition later. She's set to reap the real estate bonanza.
After the three of them bought the house, Qin Zhichu and Yu Rou started looking for someone to decorate it.
Qin Zhichu: "I want to transfer my household registration here so that she and An An and Ning Ning can go to school here together."
Now you can transfer your household registration at will when buying a house.
Yu You said, "I think it's a good idea. Since you are busy with business, you might as well send Yanyan to Beijing City first. There are elderly people here to help, and the children can still keep her company."
Yu Rou also suggested, "Sister, didn't your mother-in-law retire a long time ago? Why not let her and her three children come here first?"
After Yu Rou gave birth to twins, her mother-in-law retired early because she saw that Yu Rou was too busy to handle everything. She has been taking more care of the children in recent years.
Now the two little ones have already started kindergarten, and I need to pick them up and drop them off, and do some cooking. Yueyue can also help look after them, and she can handle it all by herself.
The most important thing is that there are no restrictions on changing your household registration now. Think about how difficult it was to get a Beijing household registration in modern times.
Moreover, now that children come to Beijing, not only do they enjoy much richer educational resources during their school years, but they will also have an advantage in the college entrance examination in the future.
As long as they study hard, it is not a dream for these children to be admitted to 985 or Double First-Class universities.
Yu Rou hesitated and said, "That's fine with me. It would be more convenient for us to run our own business and visit the children."
"But Xudong and my father-in-law have fixed holidays, and the time for catching the train is quite tight."
Yu You: "Hey, what's the big deal? Have you forgotten what your sister does? Why don't you learn to drive a car and get there in three hours."
Qin Zhichu asked, "Youyou, what do you think about your sister and I buying you a car?"
"This way, we can travel back and forth between Jing City and Yangqian City freely. Xiaorou won't have to worry about leaving the child in Jing City."
Yu You said generously, "If you need one, just go to the factory and drive one away. We sisters won't talk about money."
Yu Rou said, "That won't work. We can ignore other things. A car is more expensive than a house these days. We absolutely cannot accept it."
After Yu You produced the car, he had not yet recovered his investment, so he gave two to the Qin family and one each to Yu Weimin and Cao Xiu.
The four cars were gone in the blink of an eye, so they didn't have the nerve to ask for them again.
Yu Rou thought for a moment and said, "But we still need to keep some cash for turnover, so can we pay you for the car in installments? We sisters will take advantage of you."
Yu You and his factory have invested a lot of money in researching unique engine technology.
The cars produced here are of better quality than imported ones and are more than half the price, but they still cost 10,000 yuan each.
It’s really worth several houses, no exaggeration.
What they don't realize is that houses appreciate in value, but cars depreciate. So, these days, when people trade their houses for cars, it's hard to imagine the regrets they later experience.
Of course, if it's really useful then it's worth it.
Qin Zhichu also said: "Yes, our garment factory is profitable now, and we really don't need your help. If you don't agree, we will buy from someone else."
Seeing that her sister and elder sister-in-law were determined to do so, Yu You nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll just drive you back this time and take you to the factory to pick up the car. I'll also give you some driving lessons."
It's actually better for relatives to have a clear account like this, so that they can help each other when someone is in trouble and needs funds.
If you keep giving gifts like this, and then when someone encounters difficulties later on and you don't have the money to help, it will easily lead to resentment.
Along the way, Qin Zhiya and Yu Rouxin were drifting.
