I survived with my sister in the doomsday

If I paid the full amount for the two houses, I would not only have emptied my own money, but also theirs, and would not have a penny left! This would put us in a very passive position, with no liquidity at all.

I discussed with the young sales lady whether I could pay in installments or something?

Although the sales lady had a big smile on her face, I could tell she was very shrewd. She said to me, "Brother, there really is no trick on my part. You know that after the disaster, no one can afford much money. People who originally lived in the Mid-Levels Base already had houses, but the victims from outside didn't have that much money. The boss had lowered the price again and again. Originally, each house here cost 240 million. Look at this house, it's absolutely value for money. There are only two households on one elevator, each with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, an open-air balcony and upstairs parking lot. The top floor you want also comes with a small attic of more than square meters, and now it's half the price.

After saying that, she gave me a coquettish look, but I didn't buy it.

Lin Lin was smarter. He said we shouldn’t act too eager to buy this house, so we should pretend to go and have a look at other properties.

This trick really works. When the sales lady saw that we were really about to leave, she quickly stopped us and said that she could talk to the manager and give us an additional discount on top of this.

After negotiating with them for a whole afternoon, we were finally given a 102% discount on the two houses, meaning each house could be purchased for million yuan. However, Party A sternly stated that we could not pay in installments because we didn't know what the interest rate would be after the banks returned to normal, and it was impossible to calculate. If you want the money, you must pay in cash immediately.

By this calculation, Xiaobai will have 28 left after paying the rent, because the savings book with one million can only be exchanged for 12, and as for me, even if Lin Lin gives me his , I will still be short of .

After Xiaobai generously lent me 120,000 yuan, he said that he would use the remaining money to stock up on supplies according to his sister's instructions!

This is a new type of building. The sales office said that this is the fifth generation of concept and practical building. Each floor of the building has a large balcony. Our balcony on the top floor is unobstructed and looks more majestic. We receive the sunlight without any obstruction. What's more valuable is that this building has a passage that can be driven directly upstairs. There are very wide corridors, which means that each family can park their car next to the house. Each family has two parking spaces, and our two families have four parking spaces. Each building is a single unit with two flat-floor residences. This building has a total of 17 floors. Our two families want the two houses on the top floor facing each other. Each family on the top floor is also given an 80-square-meter attic. I like the attic very much, and I decided to live in the attic at that time.

After we collected the money and paid the bill, we drove to the downstairs of Building 10. The winding passage was difficult for the old RV to drive, so we parked it in the parking space downstairs.

We took the elevator to the 17th floor and opened the door to see a fully furnished apartment. The main feature is that you can move in with just your luggage. The interior decoration is not luxurious, but it can be considered upper-middle class. The floor of the whole house is covered with mirror-like tiles and soft and elegant wall paint. The house is very clean and tidy. Except for the attic, each bedroom is equipped with a built-in cloakroom and a simple-style fabric bed, but without sheets, quilt covers and pillows. The living room is equipped with a simple-style beige fabric sofa. The overall decoration is simple and harmonious.

Looking at this exquisite decoration, we were very moved, because after such a displaced life after the earthquake, having a stable residence is what we have always dreamed of. What's more, this home is so spacious and elegant, which far exceeded our expectations.

Although the open kitchen has an integrated dining table and cabinets, it does not have a range hood, stove or other electrical equipment. These things can only be purchased by yourself. The biggest selling point of this house is its spacious balcony. Grandpa immediately thought of the little chicks he missed so much and recalled the little chicks at the market. He told me that he wanted me to drive him to the market one day to buy some and raise them on the balcony.

Such a spacious and beautiful balcony is full of green plants on the outermost edge, with a wooden floor in the middle and a huge dining table and chairs. It was originally a place to invite friends to enjoy the scenery, chat, appreciate the night sky, and have a barbecue party on weekends. But now it is after the disaster, and it is said that the future will be full of crises. It has not rained since the earthquake, and the earth is drying up. The green plants on the balcony have not been nourished and irrigated for a long time, and are in a dying and withered state. It is indeed time to throw them away and grow something practical, such as raising chickens.

Our whole family walked around the new house and started to allocate the rooms. The master bedroom would definitely be for grandpa, and no one objected. The remaining two bedrooms were both very large, but one was on the sunny side and the other on the shady side. The one on the sunny side was slightly larger and had direct access to the green balcony. Jade wanted to occupy this bedroom, so I had to say that the other one should be given to Pearl.

As a result, the two girls started fighting again over the issue of room allocation. The younger sister complained that the room was on the shady side and refused to give in. Feicui said that she was the older sister and had the first right to choose. I became the referee again, and the two girls asked me to make a decision for them.

I say, Feicui, you are already so old, why are you still fighting with Zhenzhu? She is your younger sister, can't you just give in to her?

Jade was dissatisfied and said: Why do I have to give in every time?

I thought to myself, when have you ever given up your room? Grandpa wanted to give up his room, but I firmly refused. No matter how hard I beat him, I would never let my grandpa give up his room! I sternly asked the two of them: If grandpa gives up his room, will you change it?

The two girls were sensible and shook their heads and didn't dare to ask to change to their grandfather's room. I said, let each of them live for a month, and if they don't agree to my suggestion, we can draw lots!

The two of them finally agreed reluctantly.

I recorded the things that were missing at home, and planned to go with Lin Lin to buy some goods and then raise some money to buy them one by one. I had saved money for so long, but now it was back to the time before liberation. So far, I owe Lin Lin 20 yuan and Xiaobai 12 yuan. I recently saved up a batch of cigarettes, which can be sold for at least yuan. I plan to pay them yuan each, and leave yuan for myself to buy things at home, and pay off the rest of the debt slowly.

Lin Lin unceremoniously moved into Xiao Bai's house across the street. It was a bit of a waste for two men to live in a house of more than 200 square meters. They vacated a bedroom, a study, and a loft.

After I finished my work here, I went to see Xiaobai's house and found that the two men in Xiaobai's house stayed there simply and roughly. They didn't want to buy anything except bedding, and they didn't want to cook either. They meant that they would come to our house for dinner anytime in the future.

I asked Xiaobai if the house we bought was a bit too big. Xiaobai retorted that how could it be too big? My sister would come back to live with us in the future.

The two of them planned to live in one bedroom each, and use the other bedroom and the attic as warehouses. Xiaobai made up his mind to use his remaining 30 yuan to stockpile supplies. He was truly obeying his sister's final instructions.

I was infected by Xiaobai's aura, because although there is a supermarket, mineral water, cigarettes and alcohol in my space, there is no substantial food, that is, no grain. Oh, no, that's not right. I suddenly remembered that there are five generations of rice and five generations of white flour in my grandfather's space, and I felt a little relieved, but how can I feed so many mouths?

Although I have planned to settle down in the Mid-Levels base, I still have to stock up on supplies!
