Chapter 148: Which family
Chapter 148 Which family
“But, it’s enough for you two brothers and sisters to live in one house. If there is no one to support your popularity here, the house will soon become dilapidated and uninhabitable!”
"Civilized spirit, barbaric body! That means the house is not strong, it just needs to be rebuilt. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come in." An Zhixia remained unmoved and replied nonchalantly. "Hurry up, do you want to move out today, or pay to rent a house? Deposit two and pay one. If you miss this village, there will be no store."
Those who can be allocated to Nanhuadongli actually have decent pensions and salaries. They can use two or three yuan a month as rent, and they will eat less meat, sugar and cakes in the future. But leaving here to squeeze into a small house with their children, grandchildren, and brothers makes them feel frustrated whenever they think about it. As An Zhixia said, if they don't decide early, there will be a lot of people in Kyoto rushing to rent it.
"I, I rent three ten-square-meter houses," the always shrewd woman spoke first. Three rooms cost only one yuan and eighty cents, and they can accommodate a large family. The space in front of the door is not small, and it is enough to build a stove and two grocery rooms!
“I also rent two flats…”
One person started to grab the house, and the others were not far behind in choosing the house they had chosen before. In less than half an hour, An Zhixia rented out the three-in courtyard for her brother. There are small rooms, three large rooms in the main house with two wing rooms, and two large rooms in the east and west wings. The monthly rent can be 16 yuan and 80 cents.
An Zhixia looked at the fifty yuan cents in her brother's hand including the deposit, but still couldn't get over the prices in the 1970s. What can sixteen dollars and eighty dollars do in modern times? You can't even buy a hamburger at KFC, but you can rent a whole three-bedroom courtyard at this moment!
Both parties put away the contract. Just as An Zhixia was about to leave, he turned around, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Make up your mind, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory! My brother and I have also bought several houses. Who of you can convince me?" Those people sign the rental contract and pay the deposit and rent, then I will refund you half a month's rent. If they don't rent the house, and you persuade them to leave and vacate the house, and you find a tenant with good character, I will still refund you. How about giving you half a month’s rent?”
Eight yuan is in everyone's eyes comparable to two to three hundred yuan in later generations, and it is even more tempting.
The shrewd woman hurriedly stepped forward, hesitated and leaned into An Zhixia's ear and asked: "Little comrade, what if, what if I can convince several families?"
"I am confident that if I live two hundred years, I will be like water that hits three thousand miles! Half a month's rent is free for one household, and one month's rent for two households. After all, this is a one-time deal, so naturally you will not be missing, but you still have to pay the deposit. "Yes." An Zhixia raised an eyebrow. She didn't expect that in the era of ticket shopping, there are still people who are so sensitive to money. If it were a few years later, they would definitely be the first people to take advantage of the situation.
The woman's eyes lit up and she touched her mouth, "Where do you live, little comrade? How can I contact you?"
An Zhixia said with a smile: "Look at the world with cold eyes! My brother and I will go to repair the No. 56 yard first. Sister, you can go find me there."
The forty-year-old woman was so happy that she was called eldest sister by a pretty little girl. She wrote down the numbers of the other five houses, nodded and rushed out without wiping her mouth.
When the others saw this, everyone who was not too stupid understood it. They put down their bowls and chopsticks and gathered around An Zhixia to inquire. By the way, they also learned a few quotations from Comrade Mao and prepared to go out to show off their power.
It seems that these people are not in the mood to go to work. They just ask their acquaintances to ask for leave, get some food from home and go out to work.
An Zhixia felt a little guilty. This state of being in a desperate situation was exactly like the feeling of déjà vu that was just emerging in the insurance industry. As soon as they entered the small courtyard at No. 56 Nanhuadongli, the brother and sister took a pen and paper and started writing and drawing. The yard is not big, and there are only six rooms including three rooms.
At that time, the homeowner must have spent money to renovate the house. The house was quite strong and beautiful. However, the builder lived here and knew that the house was not his own, so he ruined it a lot.
Knock a nail here, stick something with tape there, inlay a wooden board...
Build a stove against the wall and smoke the wall black...
An Zhixia sighed worriedly, but An Zhiqiu walked around happily about ten times, muttering to her sister about cleaning and repairs. In short, in one sentence, An Zhixia was free to take matters into his own hands, while he took care of everything.
Seeing her brother pushing the car away in a hurry, An Zhixia shrugged her shoulders, hugged a hand warmer, found a sunny room and sat on the earthen bed. The only good thing is that the main room and the two side rooms of the courtyard are all equipped with Kang beds, leaning against three walls. They are very spacious and can sleep five or six people horizontally. If it were a bed, it would definitely be moved by the screwdriver. gone.
After watching a variety show, she smiled so brightly that her eyes were moist, and she even smiled brightly when she saw the visitor.
“Girl, you are so fast. When I find out about this, the price of houses in Nanhuadongli has increased by 30% overnight!” Mr. Yang walked in angrily. "We have been colleagues for a year after all. How can we not take advantage of it together?"
"It's not too late for you to buy now. Isn't the price still lower than the market price? Besides, I didn't know what to do at the time. If I couldn't drive them away, I would just lose my own house. I can't drag you down until you grow old. ”
"Anyway, I don't care. You have to help me get rid of the residents in the house. Of course, in return, let's clean up the house together. It's better than Qiu Xiaoqiu who can't find a way out like a headless fly." The old man followed suit. Zhixia threw her **** on the Tukang, and stood up with a cry in the next second, "You girl, you don't know how to take care of your body. Why doesn't the Tukang start to burn? It's cold to the bones, and it can damage your body. Come on, follow me first. Go warm up in the courtyard!"
An Zhixia couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Master, you are too exaggerated. If you want to know what happened last night, just tell me. Do you need to play tricks on me?"
Mr. Yang snorted coyly, "Little girl, I'm also worried about you two brothers and sisters. Why are you so tough? I don't know how many more people will be called to make the scene more exciting. Now, paint the walls, mend the tiles, install the doors and windows, Let's help each other when buying furniture, which makes it easier and cheaper.
You just use your words to seal the deal? "
"Okay," An Zhixia responded, "I wonder which house the old man bought?"
Lao Yang reported it quickly.
Hearing the house number he spelled out in one breath, An Zhixia was stunned. "Wait a minute, old man, are you sure it was just your family that bought the house?"
Mr. Yang coughed twice, "Then what? Isn't Nanhuadongli close to the compound? We should prepare one or two wedding rooms for our children and grandchildren." Then he said with a tigerish face and a guilty conscience, "Girl Xia, what did you just say? Promise me, whether it’s one house, a dozen houses, or dozens of houses, we have to help solve the problem of old people.”
