Chapter 159 Buying a House
"How can we live well? The babies and daughters are all living in small cubicles. The eldest and the second are so big that two people sleep in one room. No matter how good the unit is, we can still have our own house. If we don't buy a courtyard house, we have a big family. How can I live there?" Yan Jiecheng explained to Li.

"If you want to buy a house, you still want to buy a courtyard house. Isn't it all the money our family has saved for so many years?" Yu Li was so distressed that she was about to cry.

The amount of money Yan Jiecheng saved was related to the system. The couple's salary has been saved by Yu Li for so many years, and they have saved more than 3000 yuan in total.

It’s just that there are many things in Yan Xiecheng’s family, which Yan Xiecheng purchased without spending money. The couple is still a double-employee, and Yan Xiecheng is still a high-income group of workers. It is difficult for ordinary families to save so much money.

"Don't worry about money. Now that the reform and opening up has been implemented, people will become richer and their income will be higher and higher. Saving money is useless. If you don't buy a house now, it will be more expensive if you want to buy it later."

At present, Yu Li’s thinking is still the majority. She has a government house and a unit house to live in, so why spend her own money to buy a house? It’s not good to do something with the money.

Yan Jiecheng not only arranged for Yu Li to inquire, but also arranged for Yu Aiguo and Yu Aijun to inquire.

Some houses were sold, but most of them were nationalized before, and now they are returned to individuals. The inside is the same as the courtyard house where Yan Bugui lives. Some of them have a housing contract, and they can’t live in it even if they buy it. Even a three-entry courtyard house can only charge a few dozen yuan, a little symbolic rent.

After searching for more than a month, I came across a single courtyard with two entrances in a suitable location.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were very satisfied after seeing it. The structure is a simple standard two-entry courtyard.

The front yard is composed of a gate tower and an inverted room, and the hanging flower gate connects the front and back yards. The back yard is composed of east and west wing rooms, main rooms, ear rooms, and corridors.

There is a well, rockery, a jujube tree, a pomegranate tree, flower beds and a cellar in the courtyard.

All mahogany furniture in the house, although the main room is made of huanghuali, and the rest are made of rosewood wood, but a complete set is still rare.

It is obvious that the owner of the courtyard house has carefully maintained it, and it is very well preserved, so you can move in with your bags.

Another thing that Yan Jiecheng is most satisfied with is that there is a sewer near the house. The owner of the house has already remodeled the toilet in the southwest corner of the front yard. Who knows who goes to the public toilet in this era.

Because the homeowner wanted to go abroad to join relatives, Yan Jiecheng added 800 yuan to the [-] yuan house payment. The total price was [-] yuan, so that the homeowner was willing to keep all the furniture.

The next day, Yan Xiecheng asked for leave and went to the housing management bureau with the owner to go through the transfer procedures. After paying the property rights tax of three yuan, Yan Xiecheng got his first house deed.

The homeowner was straightforward, and Yan Jiecheng couldn't be stingy. The homeowner's family was actually only allowed to live for ten days before leaving the country.

Yan Jiecheng, who was in a good mood, started to cook a big meal when he got home, including chicken, duck, fish, cattle, sheep and geese. Yan Xiaoluo, who was the first to come home, was happy to see a big table of dishes.

"Dad, what's the good thing today? It's not anyone's birthday in the family. You cook yourself and make such a big table of dishes."

"Of course there is a good thing. Your parents bought a courtyard house. After a while, you will have your own room. Isn't that worth celebrating?"

"Dad, I'm here to help you and serve you food. Do I really live in a room by myself in the future?"

After the rest of the family came back, the two little ones heard that they could live in a room alone. Even the calm second child was very excited. The little girl was so happy that she wanted to raise a kitten. Another puppy is raised, but Yu Li is the happiest.

I was reluctant when I decided to buy it, but I really saw the big house and compared it with the current living environment. If there is no comparison, there will be no gap. The house that I was very satisfied with before is now so despised.

If it hadn't been for my buddy to practice, I wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

On the contrary, Yu Li was in high spirits.

"Xie Cheng, how is your radio business going? The family has no money. I'm not at ease."

"It's pretty good. I made some money. Yu Aiguo and Yu Aijun have already given them all the money, but most of the money we make is spent on radios. There are already more than 100 radios. Wait a few days to find them. If someone sells it for us, there will be money back, and when it’s all sold, get some back and save it for you.”

After get off work the next day, Yan Jiecheng went to the black market first, found two familiar ticket dealers, reached a cooperation with them, and wholesaled the radio to them at a price of five yuan lower than Yan Jiecheng's retail price.

In fact, there is no need to worry about these radios. If there is enough time, both Patriotic and Aijun can sell these radios.

There are many young people returning to the city, and naturally many are getting married. When Yan Jiecheng got married, although there was a saying of "three turns and one ring", it was still a luxury at that time, and it would be nice to have one for marriage.

In this period, "three turns and one sound" has become the standard equipment after marriage in the city, and those who have the conditions even need to buy TV sets, washing machines, refrigerators, and radios. Not only money but also tickets are required.

Yan Jiecheng's refurbished radios function normally, and they look almost new. They don't need tickets, and the price is only about half of the new radios. It's not shabby for families with average conditions to buy them back for weddings.

Naturally, the two of them would go to the streets to buy scraps, and they could sell some of them easily, so that the profits would not be cheap to outsiders.

The two ticket dealers sold much faster than the two brothers. They bought more than 100 radios in a week, and Yan Jiecheng was urged to sell.

It was like when Haitang came to Yan Jiecheng's house again, her face was full of unhappiness.

Originally, Yu Li wanted to share with Yu Haitang that she bought a big house, but now she can only ask Yu Haitang what happened.

"Sister, brother-in-law, the announcer won't let me do it. Now I'm going to work as a cleaner. Even the house I live in doesn't meet the regulations, so I need to move out." Yu Haitang said with a sad face.

"Why?"

"I offended someone!"

"Whoever offended you, ask your brother-in-law to intercede for you."

"I really can't help with this. It's not one person, but a group of people's common thinking. Of course, you did it yourself, and now you have troubles." As soon as Yu Haitang said, Yan Xiecheng knew what was going on. A group of people are not willing to do such a respectable position as a broadcaster for Yu Haitang.
