The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 20 Buying a House

Jin Yunfei told his eldest sister that the only way to get rid of poverty is to get out of Jinjia Village. Although Hengfeng Street is small, it is far from comparable to Jinjia Village.

Jin Yunfei didn't tell the rest of the family about this idea, except for his eldest sister, because he was afraid of scaring them.

There are houses for sale on Hengfeng Street, not private houses, but public houses.In the past few years, with the transformation of communes into townships and the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, some enterprises in the communes have been gradually disbanded, such as clothing factories, woodworking companies, food stores, etc., leaving many houses waiting for sale.

It is these houses that Jin Yunfei wants to buy.This information was given to Jin Yunfei by classmate Chen Donghua.

Jin Yunfei kept his composure, and quietly went to see the house a few times, the house was dilapidated and old, and faded with age, Jin Yunfei didn't care, what he wanted was the land under the house.Jin Yunfei asked someone else to inquire again. According to the policy, it is allowed to buy these houses privately.

Buying a house is a hassle. Not only does it need the consent of the unit to which the house belongs, but also the consent of all employees of the unit, the approval of the superior department, and the written approval of Hengfeng Street Village.

After everything is done, there will be a housing sale agreement.

Jin Yunfei has a good classmate, Chen Donghua, and Chen Donghua has a good father, Chen Xiaoqiu. Chen Xiaoqiu was a soldier when he was young, and he was an old comrade in arms with the former director of the woodworking club of the commune. Chen Xiaoqiu helped Jin Yunfei get through most of the links.

Of course, Jin Yunfei himself was not idle. He took advantage of his spare time to deliver goods to the county town, and went to the relevant county departments to inquire about the procedures needed to buy those houses. He had already inquired clearly.

On the twenty-ninth day, the whole family went to the street to buy new year's goods, even grandparents went, and the family sat on a wooden boat, happily.

With [-] yuan in his pocket, Jin Yunfei went to the fat rice cake shop alone after the boat disembarked to find Chen Donghua's father, Chen Xiaoqiu.

Chen Xiaoqiu is also a simple and honest person. He is very enthusiastic and runs around, but he doesn't understand one thing.

Eldest nephew, among the houses for sale, the house in the Carpentry Society is the worst. It was a house before liberation. Why did you pick it up?

Jin Yunfei smiled and said, Uncle Chen, I told your Donghua, he knows why.

Chen Donghua said, Dad, he is a ghost, how can he do things that are disadvantaged.He was fancying the open space behind the Woodworking Club, saying that it would be of great use in the future.

There are seven houses in the Woodworking Club, three two-story houses and four one-story houses, each of which is [-] meters long and [-] meters wide.The house was made of wood. When the carpentry club was disbanded, the slabs and stairs of the second floor, as well as the doors and windows, were all torn down by those employees and taken home.

But when Chen's father and son took Jin Yunfei to see the seven houses, Jin Yunfei liked it more and more.The front of the house faces the street, and there is a backyard at the back, with an area of ​​almost [-] square meters.

Walking about ten meters from the backyard is the playground where Jin Yunfei often comes to set up stalls.

After looking at the house again, and returning to Fatty's Rice Cake Shop, Director Fang from the Woodworking Club came.

Director Fang brought relevant written materials and a written agreement in triplicate.

Jin Yunfei read it carefully, and if he didn't miss anything, he expressed his approval to Director Fang.Director Fang, I agree with everything, including the price of the house, and now I suggest signing.

Director Fang also said, okay, Xiao Jin, you are refreshing, and I am refreshing too.

The two parties signed their names on the house sales agreement. Director Chen stamped the official seal of the woodware society and his own personal seal. Jin Yunfei did not have a private seal, so he pressed his own fingerprints.

The intermediary of the agreement is the village committee, which has been stamped and signed. Jin Yunfei suggested that Chen Xiaoqiu and Chen Donghua and his son should also be intermediaries. Director Fang readily agreed.

So the Chen family's father and son also signed and pressed the seal.

Each party holds one copy of the agreement, and the other is handed over to the Chen family and his son for safekeeping.

After receiving the agreement and other materials, as well as the house deed and land certificate, Jin Yunfei handed over the money to Director Fang, 150 yuan per room regardless of the number of floors, a total of 50 yuan.

Director Fang counted the money, put it away in his bag, and then gave Jin Yunfei a receipt. The receipt was also signed and stamped, and the middleman signed and stamped it.

After all the formalities were completed, Director Fang got up to leave.

Jin Yunfei sent Director Fang off and left through the side door of the rice cake shop.

There was an alley outside the door, Jin Yunfei checked that no one was around, took out the 50 yuan he had prepared earlier from his trouser pocket, and stuffed it into Director Fang's hand.

Director Fang pushed several times, but Jin Yunfei insisted on giving it, and Director Fang accepted it.

Jin Yunfei thanked him and bowed respectfully.

Director Fang said, little brother, you know how to be a human being, I will remember.

This director Fang is also pitiful. He is in his 40s. He used to be a veteran and was assigned to work in the Woodworking Club.

Jin Yunfei turned around and thanked Chen Xiaoqiu.Chen Donghua smiled and said, Da Fei, thanking my dad is very simple, two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, it will be done.

Chen Xiaoqiu laughed and scolded his son, brat, how can there be a friend like you.

Jin Yunfei said, Uncle Chen, let me express my thanks verbally today, and after the new year, I will express my thanks with practical actions.

Xiaojin, don't think about me, you are Donghua's best friend, I should help you.

Jin Yunfei asked, Uncle Chen, people in your village also helped me, do you think I should show it?
Chen Xiaoqiu hummed, and said, I can express it a little bit, but I don't need it now, let's talk about it after you build the house and you live in it.

Uncle Chen, listen to you, after the new year, I will have to trouble you.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we will be considered as people in one village in the future, help each other, help each other.

This Chen Donghua looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said to Jin Yunfei, it was almost nine o'clock, and Wang Jiudan hadn't arrived yet, this guy was getting bigger and bigger.

Jin Yunfei said, don't worry, I'll wait for him, he is a contractor now, with more than ten people under him.

Wang Jiudan's name is Wang Jiudan, a junior high school classmate of Jin Yunfei and Chen Donghua, and also their best friend. He is from Qianwang Village, Hengfeng Township. His ancestors have been masons for three generations. My parents are powerful, and they set up a small engineering team, and occasionally they can do business in the county.

This year, Wang Jiudan has been working in other villages and towns and rarely goes home. Jin Yunfei and Chen Donghua haven't met him yet.

Just as he was talking, a small young man, wearing blue overalls and bell-bottom pants, with long hair, ran over panting.

It was Wang Jiudan that Jin Yunfei and Chen Donghua were talking about.

The three buddies met, laughed and cursed, you beat me up, and had a good time first.

Chen Donghua kept running on Wang Jiudan, and even used Jin Yunfei as a shield.

Jiudan, when you were studying, every time you were bullied, it was Dafei who helped you. This time you have a chance to repay your kindness.

Wang Jiudan patted his chest and said, no problem, no problem.Dafei, it's still the same as back then, you point at that, I hit that, there is no difference.

Jin Yunfei smiled, and led Wang Jiudan and Chen Donghua to the Woodenware Club again.

Looking at the house, Wang Jiudan gasped.

Da Fei, you didn't buy a house, did you just buy a few wooden shelves?
