Chapter 28 Buying a house and moving to a new home
There is only one real estate company in Wen County, called Yuhe. Yi Jie and Zhang Peiyao came to consult not long after they started working at the store.
The person who received them was called Xiao Chen, a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Xiao Chen was very warm to the two of them. Wen County's real estate sales performance was average. There were too many self-built houses and few real estate developments. They could only get a few orders, so people who were interested in buying a house had to offer some support, and maybe they would get it.
"We actually have two second-hand houses of the kind you want. They are rare. The population mobility in Wen County is not large, and most of the properties are fixed and rarely change hands.
Coincidentally, these two houses are both under the same name. The owner is a retired teacher, and we all call him Teacher Wang.
Mr. Wang’s wife passed away two years ago. He used to live alone, but his health has not been very good since last year. His children, who are all working in Beijing, are worried about him and want to take him away. He is not expected to come back in the future. It would be a pity not to live in these two houses, so he thought about finding someone to sell them. "Xiao Chen explained the basic information of the owner in advance so that the buyer can feel at ease.
"Sister, the house is in Wenxinju at the back. The two houses are one big and one small and are not in the same building. The key is in my hand. Shall we go and see the house?" Zhang Peiyao and Yi Jie looked at each other and agreed.
Wenxinju has a very good environment. Although it has been a five-year-old community, various maintenance measures are still quite in place. Both public facilities and health management are in good order.
The developer built it as a school district house, so it is quite close to Wenxian Central Primary School where Yi Chen studied, and Yunfan Middle School where Yi Jie graduated.
The surrounding supporting facilities are relatively complete. The supermarket and vegetable market are not far away, and the hospital is only two streets away. Overall, the two are very satisfied with the geographical location of the house, not to mention that most of the people living in this community are teachers' families.
"The larger one is 140 square meters, with four bedrooms and two living rooms. The decoration style shows that it is a house for intellectuals. What do you call it? It's heritage! I see that your daughter is still in school, right? Let me tell you, Teacher Wang's children lived in this house at that time. One was admitted to Tsinghua University, and the other was admitted to Renmin University! It is definitely a good house blessed by the star of literature!" Xiao Chen is indeed a sales talent. He knows how to strike at the weakest part of the snake.
Zhang Peiyao had always liked the house's openness and brightness, and she was even more excited after hearing this. After all, there are two children in the family who are still in school, and such a good omen is rare.
Yi Jie interrupted: "Brother, this house is full of wooden furniture. Although it is well maintained, it still looks a bit old. Is the other house like this too?"
Yi Jie herself doesn't like this kind of old-fashioned cadre style decoration. It looks dull and doesn't have the warmth of home at all.
"No, the other house was bought by Mr. Wang two years ago. It was the last one to be built in the community. It's relatively new. It was originally intended to be a place for the children to live in during the Spring Festival. So it was decorated in a more youthful and fashionable style. It's in Building 17. Let's go take a look."
The three of them walked for about five minutes to their destination. Xiao Chen said that Building 17 was a high-rise building, and this area all had 18 floors, and Teacher Wang's house was on the top floor.
As soon as she opened the door, Yi Jie was sure that this was the house she wanted to live in. The whole house was decorated in a pastoral home style, warm and elegant. Because the top floor was several meters higher than other floors, the house was equipped with a small attic.
Because there were few people living there, the furniture and appliances were almost 90% new. Except for the small area, which was only a small three-bedroom apartment, everything about it was to Yi Jie's liking. She pulled her mother's sleeve and winked to indicate that she liked it.
"As you can see from the first glance, this house is rarely occupied, and the decoration is in line with the aesthetic tastes of young people. It's just a little small, only 100 square meters. But the top floor has a wide view, and you can go up the stairs to the rooftop, which is convenient for drying quilts and clothes on weekdays. If you want to grow vegetables and flowers, you can do that. The space is large enough. This rooftop is sold together with the house, which means that if you want to buy this house, you have to pay for the rooftop, so only your family has the right to use the rooftop."
Taking the opportunity to visit the rooftop, Yi Jie liked this house even more. She had already imagined planting flowers, grass and feeding fish on the rooftop in her spare time.
"How did you sell this house?" Zhang Peiyao asked softly.
"This apartment is priced at around $40, and the rooftop costs an additional $9, so it's almost $50."
Yi Jie thought that this price was acceptable, but the price of the house could be negotiated. She asked her mother to lower the price for a while, and maybe she could get it down by tens of thousands.
"Your house is not easy to sell. I guess it's because the house is small and not big enough for ordinary people to live in. Secondly, you want to build a rooftop to sell it with it. I'm also going to be frank. If you can give me a discount, I'll take it. If the discount is big, I can pay in full."
"Ah...this? Sister, please give me some time. I also need to communicate with Teacher Wang and try my best to negotiate a better discount for you. Do you really want it?" Xiao Chen asked hopefully.
"Of course, this apartment is big enough for the three of us, and it's also close to my son's school."
"Okay, I'll make the call right away." Xiao Chen walked quickly into the room, hoping that Teacher Wang would be nice to him so that he could get a large commission.
Yi Jie also took Zhang Peiyao to look at the whole house more carefully, and the two became more and more satisfied. Whether it was the simple and convenient layout, decoration, lighting, or furnishings, it was all top-notch.
Soon Xiao Chen came out and said that Teacher Wang agreed to give a minimum discount of 85%, mainly because Zhang Peiyao had two children studying, so he decided to be more lenient. Xiao Chen was glad that he was right to mention this.
After discussing it, Zhang Peiyao and Yi Jie both felt that it was acceptable, and agreed with Xiao Chen to pay a deposit first and pay the full amount tomorrow after Yu He prepared the contract. Naturally, Xiao Chen agreed.
The house issue was half settled, and the two of them kept talking about how to decorate the house after getting it, their tone filled with beautiful expectations for the future.
After returning home and telling everyone the good news, my aunt and uncle kept saying that they were lucky, and Yi Chen insisted on going to see the new house.
Yi Jie pinched his nose and said, "Once the house is settled, you can go and see it every day."
Yi Chen was even more excited after hearing this and wanted to move in tonight. Li Beibei, who was in a low mood, was also brought to smile by the joyful atmosphere.
"We plan to move there after we sign the contract and complete the settlement procedures, and then we'll treat everyone to a dinner after the New Year." Zhang Peiyao discussed the housewarming party with her eldest sister.
"It's time to invite relatives and friends for a meal. As for your second sister... just mention it casually during the New Year. It's okay if you don't want to invite her." The expression on the eldest aunt's face was full of disgust when she mentioned the second sister.
"Oh, I know, I'm just worried that my parents will feel even more uncomfortable." Zhang Peiyao felt uncomfortable when she thought of her second sister.
Yi Jie had sharp ears and heard the conversation between the two adults clearly.
Speaking of second aunt Zhang Huimin, in Yi Jie's eyes, she is a disgusting person who can be compared with Ji Qing. Not only her, but their whole family are not good people.
My grandparents had three daughters. In that era, they were always criticized for not having sons. However, my grandparents were still very good to their three daughters.
Before the two sisters got married, Zhang Huimin could only say that she was more competitive and it was not a big problem. Her aunt and mother also tolerated her.
She always said that she was the second child and the one who received the least attention, so she had to fight for everything. After fighting for so long, she finally married a divorced man named Chen Xiangqun. He had made a name for himself in Shenzhen, but his ex-wife died of complications during childbirth, leaving behind a daughter.
Zhang Huimin was vying to marry him, but her grandparents disagreed, not only because Chen Xiangqun was getting married for the second time, but also because Chen Xiangqun had a bad reputation and was extremely scheming and greedy for money.
In order to prove her idea, Zhang Huimin followed Chen Xiangqun directly to Shenzhen and got married there without inviting any relatives.
They didn't come back in the first few years. Later, they became rich and opened a factory in Shenzhen. Perhaps after they became rich, they wanted to tell everyone to prove that their vision was correct.
The two men brought their two daughters home in a grandiose manner. Their grandparents softened their hearts and forgave them, accepting Chen Xiangqun as their son-in-law.
But Zhang Huimin had no remorse. She looked down on her sisters and secretly felt it was shameful that her parents were from the countryside. She was afraid that someone would take advantage of her. As time went by, they would not see each other except during the Chinese New Year.
During the Spring Festival of 2012, Zhang Huimin gave my mother a lot of face. At that time, my mother was already under great pressure to resign. When Zhang Huimin found out about this, she treated it as a joke and even asked my mother to go to her factory to interview for the position of assembly line worker in front of a group of juniors to see if she could get the job.
Yi Jie remembered her mother's angry expression at that time for the rest of her life, so no matter how difficult the family situation was, she would never ask her mother for a penny. This year during the Spring Festival, she would definitely not let her mother suffer the slightest injustice.
All the formalities for the house were completed in two days. My aunt's family helped with cleaning and tidying the room. In one day, the whole house was completely clean and tidy, and it looked like a newly renovated house.
The next day, Yi Jie and her mother and brother moved in. Yi Jie had already bought a lot of household items online in advance, and they were almost all ready on the moving day.
For this reason, she later made a vlog to share what she bought, and the response was very good.
It took a whole day to take care of the details of the house. Even Yi Chen was busy running around. Looking at the final exquisite and warm little home, the empty place in my heart finally had a place to rest.
Yi Jie lives in the second bedroom, which has a large bookshelf and a computer desk. Her mother said she would buy her a computer and put it here so she can use it more conveniently.
She bought a lot of decorations and placed them in the room. The walls were covered with wallpaper and the floor was covered with fluffy blankets. Yi Chen said her room was like a princess's room and it was so beautiful.
Yi Jie decorated the small attic into a movie room, laying carpets, placing lazy sofas, and putting snacks and fruits on the low coffee table. When the home projector arrived, the whole family nestled on the lazy sofas and watched movies, which was so enjoyable.
As for the decoration on the rooftop, because it is too cold in winter, Yi Jie does not plan to plant flowers now. She will wait until spring. She asked the decoration company to install a rocking chair and a pergola. In the summer, she can sit here and watch the stars in the breeze. It’s so beautiful just thinking about it.
