A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

After saving enough money, Xiulian’s first thought was to buy a house.

"Brother Cheng, the lease of the yard we rent will expire in half a year. We have more than 10,000 yuan now, why don't we buy the yard?"

"We do need to buy the house, but we don't have to pay for it. Do you know if Uncle Li wants to sell this house? "

"Then let's go ask tomorrow? If Uncle Li doesn't want to sell it, we'll look for another one. Without a house of our own, we feel like outsiders. "

"Then OK, we will go ask tomorrow. When the house is bought, we will register our family of three in Yanjing City, so that Yangyang will also become a Yanjing citizen. "

"Yes, I think so too. "

In In this era, it is still difficult to settle down in Yanjing, but it is much easier than in later generations.

Moreover, Lu Cheng is not helpless like when he first came to Yanjing. He doesn't even need to ask his master for help in settling down. Help, there are two senior brothers from Yanjing who can help him.

The next morning, Lu Cheng brought Xiulian and the child to Uncle Li's house in Dongzhimen.

After explaining his intention to Uncle Li, Uncle Li sighed and said, "Xiao Lu, if someone else came to ask, I definitely wouldn't want to sell it. After all, the house was left by our ancestors. Back then, our family had a three-story courtyard, but now there is only this two-story house in front of us and the small courtyard.

How about this, my son will come back at noon, you Discuss it with him. If he wants to sell it, let him do it. Anyway, I am old, and this house will be left to him sooner or later. "

Lu Cheng didn't say anything after hearing this. Even if Uncle Li didn't want to sell the house, There are others.

In the past two years, as the educated youths have returned one after another, many families in Yanjing have run out of houses. It is not uncommon to see people buying and selling houses privately.

Moreover, with the promotion of the production responsibility system, Life in the countryside is getting better and better, and there are some families who want to return to the countryside, so there are more empty houses.

But among these houses, those with good condition, clear property rights and good location are still relatively rare.

When it was almost noon, Uncle Li's son came back from outside. When he saw Lu Cheng, he took the initiative to say hello. "Lu Cheng is here, please sit down. I heard that your snacks are very popular now, you must be making a lot of money, right?"

"I don't make much money, I just support my family, how can I compare with You guys compete."

Mr. Li's son is called Li Rongchang, who is 40 years old this year. He opened a restaurant not long ago and his business is pretty good. Now he carries a briefcase every day, looking like a boss.

Uncle Li coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Lu came here to talk to you about buying our small yard. You can decide for yourself."

Li Rongchang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he quickly greeted "Lu Cheng, Xiu Lian, please sit down and let's talk slowly. Actually, I am also planning to sell that yard. You are still living there, but you have to wait until your lease expires.

My The restaurant is doing well now, and is planning to open another branch, but is also worried about the cost. Tell us how much you can offer. As long as the price is right, we can go through the formalities today.

Lu Cheng and Xiu Lian looked at each other, Signaled Xiulian to speak first.

Xiulian hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It's like this. Nowadays, the price of a courtyard like this is basically between 7,000 and 10,000 yuan. The location of our courtyard is not bad. I have also bought some in the past two days. I inquired and found that a similar courtyard in the same alley was sold for 8,500. Brother Li, look at this…”

Li Rongchang smiled and said, “Xiulian, is that Lao Liu’s courtyard you are talking about? Their courtyard I know, it's a little worse than ours, the area alone is at least 20 to 30 square meters smaller. ”

Xiulian nodded: "We know this too, look at this, we offer 9,000, how can we How about it? Brother Li, you know that our Lu Cheng is still in college and our family doesn't have much money saved. If the price is too high, we can only look at other options. After all, we also have to stay. You need some living expenses, right?"

Li Rongchang looked embarrassed at this time: "I also know your family's situation. Logically, we should also understand each other. But I am really short of money at the moment. Can you help me? Can't you add more?"

At this moment, Mr. Li in the room couldn't stand it anymore and walked out directly: "You little brat, are you still a Yanjing person?

What's wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Lu Cheng? Are you stingy for such a small sum of money? If you want to sell it, do it quickly. Since Lao Liu's yard is sold for 8,500, then it should be 8,500. Lu Cheng still has half a year left on the lease!"

Lu Cheng finally stood up and said, "Uncle Li, let's put it one way or the other. We really like this house. Let's do this. I'll add another 500, 9,500. But we'll do all the formalities."

"What's the matter with 9,500 or not, Xiao Lu, if you still recognize me as your uncle, it'll be 8,500. "

Lu Cheng waved his hand: "Uncle Li, this is not the same thing..."

After a dispute between the two sides, Uncle Li finally made the decision to follow the price Xiulian had said before, nine thousand.

Afterwards, both parties invited people from the street office and the police station to be witnesses and signed a property transfer contract, which was also stamped by the street office and the police station.

Although the sale of Siheyuan is not allowed at present, with the dual certification of the street office and the police station, plus some connections behind Lu Cheng, there is no need to worry about the other party's regret in the future.

In addition, Lu Cheng has After making preparations, they would wait until 1987 when Siheyuan was allowed to be sold publicly, and then they would complete another procedure.

Anyway, the price of Siheyuan did not start to increase until the 1990s.

In the end, Lu Cheng successfully bought the current Siheyuan, and he did not have to consider moving.

So far, Lu Cheng's family has officially taken root in Yanjing City.

At night, the couple lay in bed, and Xiulian was still a little excited: "Lu Cheng, you said that this house is still the same house as before, and the bed is still the same bed as before, why does it feel different? I feel that this bed is really comfortable to sleep on."

"In the future, we will have our own home in Yanjing. When we move our household registration here, we will also be Yanjing people in the future."

"Well, I will write a letter to my dad tomorrow to tell him the good news."

"Why write a letter? It's summer vacation now, we will go back in two days."

"Yes, I will go back and talk to my sister. ”

These days, being able to change a rural household registration to an urban household registration means being able to eat commercial grain and no longer having to be a farmer. It is still a very glorious thing.

"Xiulian, most of this house was earned by you."

"That's right, but it also depends on Brother Cheng's wise guidance. This is the result of our joint efforts. I am happy just thinking about it. No, I have to buy two pots of flowers tomorrow to decorate the yard. I will also buy some picture books and new furniture. "

After being happy, Xiulian thought of the family's savings: "Brother Cheng, we have finally saved more than 10,000 yuan. Now there are only more than 2,000 left."

"It's okay, earning money is to spend. We will earn more in the future."

"Well, our lives will definitely get better and better in the future. We have a house and a household registration. If I save enough money in the future, I will buy a house, a courtyard house. "

"Our Xiulian is becoming more and more discerning. It's really different. She has made great progress. "

"That's right. If I don't make progress, how can I keep up with you..."

While talking, Xiulian suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at her son across the curtain, and listened to the sound. After confirming that her son was asleep, Xiulian leaned close to Lu Cheng's ear and said, "Brother Cheng... I want you to clean up... I want to see what's different in my own house..."

"Then let you see what's different..."

As soon as the two of them made a move, they heard their son behind the curtain say, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, well, there's a mosquito, your mom is hitting it."

"Oh, Mom and Dad, go to bed early."

The couple smiled at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

After waiting for their son to fall asleep, the couple quietly went out and went to another room...
