My Courtyard Refuge

Freezing

After talking on the phone with his brother-in-law, Xu Dong planned to go to the rotation training group.

Since a wave of big benefits was distributed, the activity in the group has increased several times at once.

The previous rotation training class group was at most a red envelope group. There were not many people in the water group, and most of the group members had set the message Do Not Disturb.

But now it is very different, the group of friends gradually have a kind of identity, in the final analysis, it is because of the interests.

Entering the group, Xu Dong found that everyone was chatting enthusiastically, some were happy, and some were regretful.

Suddenly a message floated: “Is it still too late to buy a house in the east?”

Immediately someone replied: “House prices have risen like this, don’t go, there is not much profit to be made.”

“Didn’t it mean to buy up and not buy down?” Someone wondered.

Xu Dong then sent a long message:

“If it’s the first house, you can think about it; if you’re buying the second house, I don’t recommend selling it. The price has risen too much during this period, and sooner or later the higher-ups will have to do something.”

“Wow, the group leader has appeared.”

“Welcome the group leader!”

“Group leader, when is the next wave of benefits?”

Then there was finally a serious reply: “Old Xu is right. If housing prices continue to rise like this, it will definitely not work. I guess property taxes will be levied soon.”

“Property tax? (⊙o⊙)!” A certain group of friends turned pale with shock.

Xu Dong curled his lips, the property tax is too childish, and the next action of the higher-ups is not to limit the housing price, but to directly turn the table over.

If you want to speculate in real estate at this time, it is definitely a dung beetle coming out of its hole and looking for death.

“Does anyone know the tax rate? My family has two houses, do you want to sell one?”

“Tsk tsk, capture a local tyrant alive.”

“What’s the use of asking for money now? The depreciation of money is so serious that only the house can maintain its value.”

“You’re right, I’ve wanted to buy another set for a long time, but the house price is too expensive and I can’t even make up the down payment.”

“It’s really not possible, take the old house to the bank for a mortgage, and after a few more months, the loan will rise back.” Someone suggested an idea.

Xu Dong interjected, “It’s better to be careful.”

“Group leader, how many suites does your house have?” Someone asked curiously.

“I know that the owner of the group has a small courtyard house, and hangs and beats all of us.”

===Section 119===

“envious……”

“The group leader is indeed a real idiot.”

“Group leader, when will there be another wave of benefits?”

“Ask for welfare, ask for welfare, ask for welfare!”

Xu Dong quickly sent two messages:

“My house only has one house, enough to live in. There is really no need to speculate in real estate. The risk is too great.”

“As for the new benefits, let’s talk about the Dragon Boat Festival. We will definitely not disappoint everyone.”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sensation in the group immediately, and all the house matters were thrown out of the sky, and now everyone only cares about Xiazi.

“Long live the group leader!”

“Thank you, group master.””Oh, there are still more than two months left, the time is really difficult.”

“Old Xu, I’ve taken a screenshot and saved it, don’t break your promise!”

“The group leader always keeps his word.”

Watching more and more group members joining the discussion, Xu Dong finally replied with a message:

“I’m at work, just wait for my good news on the Dragon Boat Festival, and I have something to do, so let’s get off first.”

After speaking, he exited the WeChat group.

…

A week later, Uncle Chen finally recovered from his illness and returned to work. Xu Dong no longer had to take care of the South Gate, and the burden on his body was instantly relieved.

At lunch time, Section Chief Li took Uncle Chen and Xu Dong together for a small meal in the section chief’s office.

“Section Chief, your shrimp is very good, very tasty.” Uncle Chen picked up the shrimp several times in a row.

Section Chief Li glanced at Xu Dong, and replied with a smile: “If you like it, eat more. You have lost a lot of weight in the past half month.”

“Hey, I’ve saved my life from hell this time. Who would have thought that a small cold would kill half of my life.” Uncle Chen had mixed feelings for a moment.

“It’s a pity, Old Liu.” Section Chief Li sighed.

“It’s all fate. Old Liu is two years younger than me. I didn’t expect to go like this.” Uncle Chen said regretfully.

Xu Dong filled Uncle Chen with tea, “Uncle Chen, you should take the time to exercise your body. Only when your body is strong can you have strong resistance.”

“Xiao Xu is right, not only you, but I also want to strengthen my training.” Section Chief Li nodded.

Uncle Chen sighed again, then put down his chopsticks, and solemnly said:

“Section chief, my health is failing, and I want to retire early at the end of the year. Can my quota be transferred to Chen Yang?”

“Old Chen, this matter is difficult.”

“What’s going on?” Uncle Chen asked anxiously.

Section Chief Li repeated what he said to Xu Dong yesterday, and finally concluded:

“It might still be possible after two years, but now there is no chance at all. The personnel department is watching too closely.”

Uncle Chen was disappointed. After waiting for two years, he still didn’t know if he could get it.

“Uncle Chen, Chen Yang is still young, don’t worry too much.” Xu Dong comforted.

Uncle Chen waved his hand: “Forget it, the Yunhe Power Plant over there in Tangshan City has a formal job offer, and I will let Chen Yang try it then.”

“The benefits of the Yunhe Power Plant have been good in the past two years, and Tangshan now belongs to the capital, so the future should not be bad.” Section Chief Li agreed.

“It was good at first, but the housing price has suddenly skyrocketed. I don’t know what to do.”

Xu Dong hurriedly persuaded: “Uncle Chen, I just heard from someone a few days ago that the current permanent population in the capital is only a million short of over a hundred million.

With so many people, the house price will definitely go up. If you really plan to buy a house for Chen Yang, you’d better start early. ”

Comparing the data of two years ago, it is not difficult to find that in the past year or so, the population of the entire metropolitan area has almost doubled.

“This…” Uncle Chen hesitated.

Section Chief Li shook his head and said, “It’s too late, I can’t even buy it now.”

“Uh, what happened again?” Xu Dong wondered.

“The above has issued a freezing order with a period of three months. That is to say, from now on, the relevant departments will freeze all real estate transactions, including the suspension of settlement procedures.”

“Is the news accurate?” Uncle Chen looked helpless.

“This is not some insider information. You can go to the civil affairs department and ask any staff member to find out. The official seal has been sealed long ago.” Section Chief Li introduced.

Xu Dong was stunned. He was in Luyang in his previous life, and he only heard about the eastward expansion of the capital, but he really didn’t know much about what happened next.

“Then we have to wait another three months. I hope the higher-ups can take care of housing prices.” Uncle Chen held a little expectation.

Three months later will be July. Xu Dong remembers that the “housing reform” seems to be at that time. It seems that the higher authorities have planned it for a long time, and maybe even the implementation plan has been prepared.

After chatting about Uncle Chen, lunch came to an end. A large bowl full of shrimp was eaten clean, mainly because it went into Uncle Chen’s stomach.

After the banquet was over, Section Chief Li suddenly stopped Xu Dong and ordered:

“Xiao Xu, Lao Liu’s funeral is at two o’clock in the afternoon, so you can go there on behalf of our security department!”

“Got it!” Xu Dong said reluctantly.
