Chapter 659 Three years later

Ning Ruiyang brought news within a few days.

There is an urban village in the southeast corner of the provincial capital. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the young people in this village who had some skills found their work units and became workers.

Now that decades have passed, most of their descendants also have iron rice bowls at the end of the unit.

Some units generally have welfare housing. The older generation has welfare housing. Young people want to get married. When the young couple is bored and sweet, how can they want to live with the elderly? Most people want to have their own small home.

To become a small family, of course you must have a house, and the allocation of welfare housing by the unit depends on seniority, and it is more difficult to get a set of welfare housing without qualifications.

Just this year, the policy of abolishing welfare housing was proposed above.

Some units still want to build houses, so they have to rely on employees to raise funds together and contract to the engineering team to undertake the construction together.

The housing funded by this kind of unit is cheaper than the commercial housing outside, but more expensive than the former welfare housing, and the certificates are only three certificates.

Many young people want to own their own house, so they have to spend a large sum of money and hand it over to the unit for unified arrangement.

This has led to the villagers who originally lived in urban villages. Some families could not afford so much money to buy houses at once, so some people thought of selling the old houses in urban villages.

Ning Ruiyang also found this village by chance, and shared the news with his good friends when he saw that many of his old houses were for sale.

"Ruijia, Ruiting, shall we take some time to go and have a look?"

Da'an glanced at Xiao'an, then turned to Ning Ruiyang and said, "Let's go and have a look this weekend."

Ning Ruiyang clapped his hands excitedly: "That's the decision. I'll ask the driver to pick you up on weekends."

Da'an waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome, let's make an appointment to meet directly at the entrance of the village in the city you mentioned on the weekend."

Ning Ruiyang was a little excited when he thought that he could also own his own real estate, "Ruijia, Ruiting, how much private money do you three have left?"

Xiaoan: "Not much."

"How much is not much?"

Da'an made a bitter face: "If we want to buy another property, we must borrow some money from my mother."

How could you tell your mother about this?I don't know if she will support their decision.

After listening to the children's thoughts, Yu Qing was very curious about the quality of the houses in this urban village.

On Saturday, I drove the children to this village in the city.

It is said to be a village in the city, but it is actually the center of the city, without even the old city walls.Compared with the manor she currently lives in, her manor is more like a countryside.

The streets and lanes near the urban village are a bit narrow, and the roads into the village may be even narrower.

"Mom, Ning Ruiyang is at the entrance of the village."

As soon as he turned to this side of the road, he found Ning Ruiyang standing on the curb looking around, probably waiting for them.

Yu Qing pulled the car aside, Daan pressed the window glass: "Ning Ruiyang, get in the car quickly, you go ahead and lead the way."

Ning Ruiyang nodded, and waved to Yu Qing who was sitting in the driver's seat with a smile: "Auntie, I'll get in the car first, and you follow behind."

Yu Qing tapped the horn lightly, then waved to him again.

As they had expected, the roads in the village were narrower than outside. It was barely enough for one car to pass, but it was impossible to pass two cars.

However, fortunately, the roads in the village are criss-crossed, and if one is impassable, go to the other, so that the traffic in and out of the village will not be blocked.

The houses in the village are all built according to the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with blue bricks and black tiles, cornices and corners. The craftsmanship is not complicated, but the houses are all decorated in this way, which is very Jiangnan architectural style.

It's just that the houses are considered old houses, some of which have been in disrepair for a long time.

Except for the roads where cars can pass, other alleys are paved with bluestone slabs, so even if you go out in rainy weather, your shoes will not be dirty.

Yu Qing felt that if it was a rainy day, wearing a Hanfu and holding an oil-paper umbrella, this place would be a perfect place to take a set of pleasing ancient photos.

Following the Ning family's car, he made several turns in the village, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated house.

Today's weather is good, the sun is just right, standing in the alley of the old house, the light is not bad, Yu Qing looked back and forth at the quiet alley, feeling that the years are quiet and no one disturbs her.

The owner of the house heard the sound of a car, the big wooden door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged uncle came out.

"You are here, do you want to go in and have a look at the house now?"

Ning Ruiyang's parents didn't follow, the driver at home sent him over. Hearing this, he looked at Yu Qing.

Yu Qing felt funny when she received his gaze, these kids didn't have big ideas when they wanted to buy a house, why are they waiting for her to make up their minds now?
She smiled and shook hands with the uncle: "Hello, my surname is Yu Dan and my last name is Qing. May I ask, is this house under your name?"

This house occupies a very large area. Yu Qing knows that in many places, a house is divided into several families, but she doesn't know if this house belongs to one person?
The middle-aged uncle nodded: "Hello, my name is Li Cheng. Most of our houses here are divided into several families. Because our family has a large population, this one belongs to our family."

Li Cheng knew what Yu Qing was worried about, and he continued: "You guys look at the house first, and if you are satisfied, my other brothers will rush over to sign the contract with you."

Yu Qing nodded: "Then let's go around this house first, and you tell us about the land occupation of this house."

The house in the village is afraid of illegal construction. After the illegal construction, it will be too old to be too lazy to argue with the village, so let's take a look around the periphery first to rest assured.

"Yes." Li Cheng first led everyone around the house.

As he walked, he introduced the basic situation of the house: "Our house is nearly 40 meters wide on the outside and 20 meters long from front to back. There are no illegal buildings on the outside. Except for no door on the north side, there are heavy double doors in front of it. , there are side doors on the left and right sides, and there are quite a few rooms inside, I will introduce the situation inside when I lead you in."

In addition to the bluestone roads on the periphery, there is a drip ditch under the eaves, also called a rain ditch.

According to Li Cheng, the boundaries of rural homesteads are defined by the rainwater ditch and the line where the rainwater drips down. Those inside belong to the scope of personal homesteads, and those outside the line of rainwater dripping belong to the village. Public area.

Turning around, Yu Qing found that the doors of this house are all the most primitive wooden doors, which are wooden doors that are fastened from the inside and can be easily opened with a knife from the outside, and are not at all anti-theft.

Of course, no one in this village is willing to steal such a house that no one lives in.

After turning around, Li Cheng led them into the house through the gate.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will first see a spacious hall. If you insist on calling it a living room, it is too big, and there is a patio in the middle, and a lot of rainwater has accumulated in it. Yu Qing thinks that with a little repair, the small pool that catches the rainwater is okay. fish culture.

As far as the eye can see, it should be said that this hall is a nave.

The construction pattern of the houses on the left and right sides is the same, and there is also a row of houses directly opposite the gate.

According to Li Cheng, there are three brothers in his family, the eldest and the second live in the main room on the left and right sides, and the third child lives in the back room behind the nave.

Yu Qing took the children and followed him into the house on the left. She thought there were only two or three houses on the left and right.

I didn't expect that there would be a hole in the sky after entering. There are two rooms, one bright and one dark, and there is a living room in the past.On the other side of the living room are two rooms, one light and one dark, and there are two back rooms behind the living room.

It can be said that the room on the left has seven rooms plus the living room, so the layout on the right is the same, plus the back wing of the nave has five rooms.Then there are only nineteen rooms in this old house, and if the central hall is added, there are a total of twenty rooms.

This kind of house is very suitable for the big family in the past, because there were many children in the family at that time.It is normal for many families to have six or seven children.

"How about it? No matter how big your family is, this house can accommodate you. Back then, many families with a large population envied our house." Li Cheng said proudly.

"How long has it been since you built this house?" Yu Qing nodded, and walked out of the room with the children, standing in the nave where the air is better.

There have been no people in the room for many years, and the air is not good, not to mention musty.

Speaking of his own house, Li Cheng's mind is full of memories from childhood to adulthood, and he can't finish talking: "It's not that old, after all, it's an ancestral house. It's been decades. My family didn't live in this area before. I heard from my grandfather that all the houses were burned down in the provincial capital fire. This area was the homestead assigned to our village by the government at the time, and this house was slowly built in the next few years. To save money or simply want a spacious house, clean up the ruins on the original foundation, and build this house directly on the original foundation.”

Even if it is not the original ancestral house, it has a history of several decades, and three or four generations have lived there.

There are many rooms in this house that are separated by wooden boards, and there are carvings on the boards, and every window is also a carved pane. It can be imagined that when this house was built, the head of the Li family spent a lot of time. kung fu.

This is what Yu Qing is satisfied with. Of course, this house also has shortcomings. Not to mention other things, it is about lighting. Because there are too many rooms, some dark rooms have no windows or the windows are designed very small, which leads to the light in the dark rooms. Not enough, the room is dimly lit.

Da'an moved closer to Ning Ruiyang, and asked in a low voice, "Did you see this house?"

Ning Ruiyang shook his head, hehe said with a smile: "I chose this house for you. The uncle and the three brothers each have a share. You just happen to be three siblings, which is just enough for you. The house I fancy is not as good as your house. It’s big, but the area of ​​that house is enough for me alone.”

Daan frowned.

Ning Ruiyang bumped into him: "What? You don't like it?"

Da'an shook his head, and he couldn't say whether he liked it or not. The most important thing was that he felt that the house was too dark. If he was alone at home during the day, he would be worried, let alone at night, because he was afraid of ghosts.

If he was left alone at night in this house, he would probably be scared to pee!

Ning Ruiyang looked at Da'an who was frowning, and couldn't help frowning too. Could it be that this house is not good?He looked at it and thought it was pretty good!

Zhuzhu was also complaining to Xiaoan: "Why do you think this house is different from the courtyards in the capital? The courtyards in the capital are also old houses, and the light and decoration inside are better than this house. There are also courtyards that have not changed for a long time. There will be no musty smell in the house.”

Xiaoan said helplessly: "Many places in the courtyard house in the capital have been repaired, and the interior has also been decorated. Some unreasonable places have been renovated, so the room will not appear dim. Regarding the musty smell in the room, the capital belongs to the north. The air is drier, and the house we are in is in the south, as long as we go back to the south, the ground will be wet everywhere."

However, they bought the house as an investment, not really wanting to live in it.

As Yu Xiaoan said, it has been three years since I bought this house and started renovations.

When they bought the house, Yu Qing paid most of the money for them, but the siblings no longer wanted to spend their parents' money on the renovation, so they delayed the renovation until three years later.

The same is true for Ning Ruiyang's house.

There is only an alley between his house and the house of Zhuzhu's third sister and brother, and the two are considered next-door neighbors.

Taking advantage of the summer vacation, the four children came to the old house again.

Ning Ruiyang has grown a lot in the past three years, and has already surpassed the height of his father Ning Zhengshan, who is about 1.7 meters five.

He asked with his unique voice: "Sister Zhuzhu, Ruijia, Ruiting, what do you want to do with this house?"

Zhuzhu frowned slightly, and glanced at Ning Ruiyang. We didn't go to the same school, and we rarely saw him in the past three years.

I didn't expect to meet again. This kid has changed so much, especially his height and voice.

The voice is not as clear and crisp as it was back then, and it is not as deep as his father's, which makes people feel awkward.

Da'an looked at Zhuzhu: "I will listen to my sister."

Zhuzhu glanced at her younger brother secretly, and said with a chuckle, "How else can I decorate? It's nothing more than renovating the roof of the house, repairing the outer wall, and painting the inner wall. The floor is a flat mud floor, which is not as easy to use as a concrete floor after all." , the ground is leveled with cement, and the other is to install glass for each window."

This should be about the same.

Ning Ruiyang thought he heard it wrong: "That's it?"

"Correct!"

"Such a simple decoration, are you used to living in it?"

Zhuzhu rolled his eyes at him, and explained: "Is it necessary for us to stay here and decorate so well?"

After hearing this, Ning Ruiyang was even more puzzled: "You don't live here, who will live in this house after it's finished?"

Zhuzhu answered him as it should be: "Of course it is rented out."

In the past two years, there have been many migrant workers in the provincial capital. Some of them came to the provincial capital with their families, and of course they had to rent houses to live in.

It's just that the rent of the buildings for renting units is too high. Therefore, the houses in the urban villages scattered throughout the city have become the first choice of these people, which are cheap, spacious and have many choices.

One person can rent a single room, two people can rent a single room or a double room, and a family can rent multiple rooms.

Most of the buildings in the unit are suites, and there are too few options for them.

"Rent, rent out?" Ning Ruiyang was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted suddenly, and he patted his forehead: "Why didn't I think of it? We won't live in this house anyway, why the decoration is too good How about renting it out like you guys, not only can I collect the rent but also save my renovation costs.”

Kill two birds with one stone, and you can get an extra pocket money every month in the future, why not do it?
