"How can we live well? Our precious daughter and daughter all live in small cubicles. The eldest and second child are so big that we sleep in one room. No matter how good the unit is, it's better to have our own house. If we don't buy a courtyard house, we will be a big family.
How is it possible to live in such a low place?" Yan Jiecheng explained to Li.
"If you want to buy a house, you also want to buy a courtyard house, haven't we spent all the money our family has saved over the years?" Yu Li was so distressed that she almost cried.
How much money Yan Jiecheng saves has something to do with the system. Yu Li has saved the couple's salary over the years, and they have saved more than 3,000 yuan in total.
There are a lot of things in Yan Jiecheng's home, which Yan Jiecheng purchased without spending any money. The couple still has two jobs. Yan Jiecheng is still a high-income worker among workers. It would be difficult for an ordinary family to save so much money.
"Don't worry about money. Now that we have reformed and opened up, people will become richer and richer, and their income will be higher and higher. There is no use in saving money. If you don't buy a house now, it will be more expensive to buy it later."
Nowadays, Yu Li's thinking still dominates. There is a government house and a work unit house to live in, so why should we spend money to buy a house? There is nothing wrong with doing 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.
There are some houses for sale, but most of them were previously nationalized and now returned to individuals. The house is just like the courtyard house where Yan Bugui lives, with dozens of families living in it, all signed by the housing management office.
There is a housing contract, and you can’t live in it even if you buy it. Even if you move into a courtyard house three times, you can only receive a few dozen yuan, a nominal rent.
It took more than a month of searching before I found a single two-person courtyard house 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 consists of a gatehouse and an inverted room, and a hanging flower door connects the front and back yards. The back yard consists of east and west wing rooms, main room, side rooms, and verandahs.
There is a well in the courtyard, a rockery, a date tree, a pomegranate tree, flower beds, and a cellar.
The house is all made of mahogany furniture. Although the main room is made of huanghuali and the rest are made of red rosewood, a complete set is still rare.
It is obvious that the owner of the courtyard has meticulously maintained it and it is in very good condition. It is completely ready for move-in.
Another thing that Yan Jiecheng is most satisfied with is that there is a sewer near the house. The owner has renovated the toilet in the southwest corner of the front yard. Who knows about public toilets in this era.
Because the homeowner wanted to go abroad to live with relatives, Yan Jiecheng added three hundred yuan to the two thousand five hundred yuan for a total price of two thousand eight hundred yuan so that the homeowner would be willing to keep all the furniture.
The next day, Yan Jiecheng took leave and went to the housing authority with the landlord to go through the transfer procedures. After paying three yuan in property rights taxes and fees, Yan Jiecheng got his first house deed.
The landlord was cheerful, but Yan Jiecheng couldn't be stingy. He allowed the landlord and his family to live there until they left for the country, which actually only lasted about ten days.
Yan Jiecheng, who was in a good mood, started cooking a big meal when he got home, including chicken, duck, fish, beef, sheep and geese. Yan Jieluo, who was the first to return home, was happy when he saw a large table of dishes.
"Dad, what's good today? It's not anyone's birthday in the family. You're going to cook yourself and make such a large table of dishes."
"Of course it's a good thing. Your parents bought a courtyard house. After a while, you will have your own room. Isn't this worthy of celebration?"
"Dad, I'm here to help you and serve you food. Do I really want to live in a room by myself from now on?"
After everyone else in the family came back, the two little ones heard that they could live in a room alone. Even the younger brother, who had a calm personality, was very excited. The little girl was so happy that she jumped up and strongly requested to get a kitten.
, raise another puppy, but the happiest one is Yu Li.
I was reluctant when I decided to buy it, but when I saw the big house and compared it with the current living environment, there was no difference without comparison. The house that I was very satisfied with before is no longer attractive to me.
Facing the excited Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng was naturally exhausted. If his buddies hadn't practiced, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
After fighting for N rounds, Yan Jiecheng was tired, but Yu Li was in high spirits.
"Xie Cheng, how's your radio business doing? My family doesn't have much money anymore, and I feel uneasy."
"It's pretty good. I've made some money. Yu Aiguo and Yu Aijun have all given their money. However, most of the money we made has been spent on radios. We already have more than a hundred sets. I'll wait in a few days.
If we find someone to help us sell it, we will have money back, and when everything is sold, we will get some back for you to save."
After get off work the next day, Yan Jiecheng first went to the black market, found two familiar ticket sellers, reached a cooperation with the two people, and wholesaled the radio to the two people at a price of five yuan lower than Yan Jiecheng's retail price.
In fact, there is no need to worry about no one wanting these radios. If there is enough time, both Patriot and Patriot can sell these radios.
There are many young people returning to the city, and naturally more people are getting married. When Yan Jiecheng got married, although there was a saying of "three turns and one ring", it was still a luxury item at that time, and it was good to have one when getting married.
In this period, "three turns and one beep" has become a standard feature after getting married in the city. Those who are able to afford it even buy TV sets, washing machines, refrigerators, and radios. Not only do they require money, but they also require tickets.
Yan Jiecheng's refurbished radio functions normally and looks 80% to 90% new. It does not require a ticket and the price is only about half of a new radio. It would not be shabby for a family with average conditions to buy these back for a wedding.
Naturally, the two of them have to go around the streets to buy scraps, so that they can sell some of them conveniently, so as not to make the profits at the expense of outsiders.
The two ticket dealers sold the tickets much faster than the two brothers. They bought more than 100 radios in one week, and Yan Jiecheng was rushed to buy the radios.
When Haitang came to Yan Jiecheng's house again, she was unhappy with her face.
Originally, Yu Li wanted to share with Yu Haitang that her family had bought a big house, but now she could only ask Yu Haitang what happened.
"Sister, brother-in-law, the broadcaster won't let me do this. Now he wants me to be a cleaner. Even the house I live in now doesn't meet the regulations and needs to be moved out." Yu Haitang said with a sad face.
"Why?"
"You have offended someone!"
"Whoever you have offended, ask your brother-in-law to intercede for you."
"I really can't help with this. It's not just one person, it's the common idea of a group of people. Of course you did it yourself, and now the consequences are coming." As soon as Yu Haitang said it, Yan Jiecheng knew what was going on.
They were all the people who were offended by Yu Haitang being too active during a special period. Now that the chaos has been reversed, a group of people are unwilling to give Yu Haitang such a dignified position as a broadcaster.
