Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Duan Xia took Yaoyao from her arms and said, "Wash your hands and eat quickly."

Xiaowei and Xiaoyue had to take a nap after eating, and they had classes in the afternoon. Duan Xia held Yaoyao and let them eat first.

When Shen Xiaojun came back after washing his hands, he picked up a spoon and scooped out a bowl of corn rib soup. "It tastes good!"

"If it tastes good, drink more." Duan Xia scooped a few more pieces of ribs into the bowl for her.

I put a few pieces of pork ribs in a small bowl on the other side. When they were slightly cool, I put them into Yaoyao's small bowl and let him hold them and chew them.

"Mom, the teacher said that I have to pay the pre-paid book fees for next semester." Xiaowei ate deliciously. She was hungry during the second class in the morning. If she hadn't brought biscuits to school, she would not have been able to survive the get out of class.

Shen Xiaojun swallowed the soup in his mouth, "Xiaoyue is going to have sex too, right?"

Xiaoyue held her rice bowl in her arms and raised her head when she heard the words, with rice grains sticking to the corner of her mouth, "The teacher hasn't said anything yet."

Xiaowei said: "Your teacher will definitely talk about it this afternoon."

Shen Xiaojun: "Then wait until Teacher Xiaoyue tells you, and then we can hand it in together."

The two ladies nodded.

After Xiaowei and the others got off the table, Duan Xia asked her, "I was just about to cook when Sister Qiu's house in the back alley came and said that the yard I was asking about was found. I don't know what you said. , let her have a cup of tea, is there another relative who wants to buy a yard? Can you ask about it? "

Shen Xiaojun picked up a piece of shredded pork and put it in a bowl, "No, I want to buy it."

"Do you want to buy?" Duan Xia and Shen Wende looked at each other, "Why are you buying so many houses? It is said that there are many people working on the houses in Pengcheng, and they can make money by renting them out. You can't say here that you should buy them and rent them out. Bar?"

Shen Xiaojun chewed two mouthfuls of shredded pork with rice, swallowed it, and then said: "It's not a loss to buy it anyway. Maybe our area will be demolished sometime, and we can still lose a few houses in the yard where we live now."

The old couple often read the newspapers and knew that in the first-tier big cities, there were demolition households, road construction companies, and airport construction sites. If they wanted to occupy your house, they would have to use houses elsewhere to compensate you, so they made a lot of money. people.

But here they are?

I'm afraid it will be difficult.

I just think Shen Xiaojun is crazy!

Whether it is whimsical or not, you will know in three to five years.

Shen Xiaojun knew what they were thinking, "Don't worry, house prices are rising now. Two or three years ago, you could buy a yard like this with just over [-] yuan. Now it's not at this price. I won't lose money if I buy another one. The worst will happen then." I sell it again and put the money in the house, which is worth more than putting it in the bank, so I will treat it as an investment. How much I earn depends on my luck."

The old couple heard what she said, and they thought about Shen Ying's house. If it hadn't been for that, they would have made a profit. If they wanted to buy it now, they would have to spend thousands more.

Shen Xiaojun scooped up another bowl of soup and drank, "Dad, how much money do you have? Why not buy an apartment in the city? There are also shops. You can collect rent every month. It's more cost-effective than putting it in a bank!"

Duan Xia glared at her, "Don't come up with blind ideas, that's your father's and mine's pension money, don't touch it!"

If you can't move, you can't move!

She just mentioned this and changed the subject, "Aunt Qiu and I have made an appointment to see a house in the afternoon. Do you want to go and see it together?"

Shen Wende put down his chopsticks and nodded: "Then let's go and see it together."

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Xiaowei and Xiaoyue went to school hand in hand. Shen Wende and his wife took Yaoyao and followed Shen Xiaojun to see the house.

"Aunt Qiu, Aunt Qiu!" Shen Xiaojun shouted twice while standing at the entrance of the alley, and then she heard someone answer. After a moment, a door opened, and Aunt Qiu poked her head out. When they saw Shen Xiaojun, they first smiled. After leaving the door, he turned around and took a key to lock the door.

"I'm waiting for you. I think you should be free at this time." As he walked, he put the keys on his waistband.

When he got closer, he took out two white rabbit toffee candies from his bag and gave them to Yaoyao, "Good boy, eat the candies."

Yaoyao hugged his grandpa's neck, stared at the candy for two breaths, and then turned to look at his grandpa.

Shen Wende smiled: "How did grandpa teach you?"

Yaoyao blinked his big round eyes and said, "Thank you, grandma." After saying thank you, he stretched out his little paws to grab the candy from Aunt Qiu's hand, and handed another one to grandma.

When Aunt Qiu saw this, she praised him, "This boy is so sensible, and he even knows how to give sweets to grandma."

Duan Xia smiled and said: "Why don't you give it to me? You want me to peel it off and give it to him to eat!"

Sure enough, Yaoyao looked at Duan Xia's hand without moving his eyes. As soon as she finished peeling off the candy wrapper, her little body leaned over and her little mouth opened to feed.

Duan Xia broke off a small piece and fed it to his mouth.

Aunt Qiu praised again, "This child is smart!"

Talk while walking.

"How old is your baby?"

"More than two years old..."

"You look like a three-year-old child. You raised him well..."

The group of people arrived at the place quickly.

Aunt Qiu shouted in front of a room door, and a lesbian in her 40s walked out. Aunt Qiu called her Zhang Hong.

The two parties greeted each other without saying anything more, and Zhang Hong led them inside.

Huangguoshu Old Street is its current name because there is a century-old Huangguoshu tree on this street.

The real name is Taiping Street, but no one calls it that.

When I say this place, it means the old street with the yellow fruit tree. Over time, everyone called it that.

Zhang Hong led them to a stop where three facade rooms were lined up side by side. Pointing to the three facade rooms with doors closed by door panels, he said: "Originally, this was a gate, but later it was changed to a facade. The house has not been rented out in the past few years. Originally, they were thinking of starting some kind of business. Later, they moved to the provincial capital to settle down, but they never did it. It has always been empty. They were afraid that if they rented it to others, they would not know how to take care of it, so it remained empty. It's a pity, if you don't want the front house, you can restore it."

You can't get inside from the front room. It's blocked at the back. You have to go in from the alley on the left and walk more than ten meters in to find the other door to the yard.

There is also a horse-bolting stone on the wall outside the door. Shen Xiaojun didn't recognize it, but Shen Wende only found out what it was for after telling him about it.

"People used to tie horses in the past."

Zhang Hong took the key and came out. After opening the door, a group of people walked in.

"There is no other cave!" Shen Wende said as soon as he entered the courtyard.

The wall outside doesn't look very good, and even the three-fronted house looks no different from other houses, but it is different once you enter. No wonder Sister Qiu said before that she has lived in this area for so long. Didn't even know there was such a yard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Shen Xiaojun felt that her whole body and mind had calmed down.

This is a typical courtyard of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with blue-grey wall tiles, and most of the roof beams, doors and windows are made of solid wood, while maintaining the original character of logs.

The overall layout of the house is similar to that of a courtyard house in Beijing. It is also divided into the main house, the east and west wings, and the reverse side rooms. Those shops were converted from the reverse side rooms, and the original door in the middle was moved to the wall connecting the west wing and the reverse side rooms. superior.

Or maybe it wasn't changed, it was originally a side entrance to the courtyard.

The front yard is spacious, with three main rooms and three east and west wing rooms. Each room is not small and spacious at first glance.

But the main house and the east and west wings are not only one floor, but also have an attic above. The staircase is the innermost one, and the height of the upper floor is shorter, so there is no problem for people to live there.

The architectural style of the attic on the roof is similar to that of the old houses in my hometown. Many of their old houses here are built like this.

Go through the moon door next to it and you will find the backyard.

The backyard is not big or small. There is a stone table in it, four stone chairs surrounded by it, and a flower bed surrounded by a wall. There is also a small pond beside the flower bed. The water in it has dried up, and there is also a flower bed. Not a single flower or tree was seen, just weeds.

There is also a row of houses against the wall inside, called back houses, with only one floor. At first glance, you can tell that they are smaller than the inverted houses in front, and the depth of the rooms is also shallower. One room is only eight or nine square meters, and they are side by side. After five rooms, the one at the end was the bathroom. Shen Xiaojun took a quick look and came out.

The kitchen is also in the back room. There is only an old-fashioned earthen stove and nothing else. The other rooms are all empty.

"My relative has rarely come back since he moved away. The house hasn't been taken care of for a long time. It's full of dust."

When opening the door, Zhang Hong choked. Duan Xia hugged Yaoyao and went to play in the yard.

"Although it hasn't been cleaned, you can see that this house is well built and made of good materials. All the tiles on the roof have been replaced in the past few years, so there is no fear of water leakage. Look at the carved windows. Okay? These beams, doors and windows are all made of fine fir wood."

"There are more than twenty rooms, large and small, upstairs and downstairs! How many people in the family can live there, and there are shops outside..."

Speaking of shops, they didn’t open the door to look inside.

"You've also seen the house. Do you want to see the shops?" Zhang Hong asked.

Shen Xiaojun nodded, and the others followed her out.

The doors of the three rooms were all open for them to see. Each room was about the same size, about forty square meters, and the roof was high, about four meters by visual inspection.

"How big is the area of ​​​​this house?" Shen Xiaojun asked.

"560 six square meters! It's a really big courtyard. It's hard to find such a complete set of courtyards in the entire Taiping Street. It's still a private residence. The others were allocated to employees of state-owned units as early as 40 to [-] years ago. Now, when there are more people, there will be chaos. They have built houses on the vacant land. It is impossible to see what it used to be like before. That is why my relatives have been protected because of the good deeds accumulated by my ancestors..."

Zhang Hong didn't say much, but Aunt Qiu looked like she wanted to know. She wanted to know what virtues her ancestors had accumulated.

Shen Xiaojun is not very interested in this, and it is just some historical issues.

After closing the door of the front room, several people turned back and entered the courtyard.

Seeing that they were satisfied, Zhang Hong said: "My relatives also set a price for this yard. They said it would not be sold if it was less than 20. If you can accept this price, I will call him and ask him to come back. If you can't accept it, forget it." Yes, I’ll also save on phone bills.”

Shen Xiaojun took out his mobile phone directly and said, "I don't want to cost you money. Let's do this. If it's convenient for you, give me your contact information and I will communicate with him."

Zhang Hong thought for a while, "Then fight now, I'll talk to him first."

Shen Xiaojun smiled: "Okay!"

He handed her the phone.

Zhang Hong didn't answer, "Your phone is expensive. If you accidentally drop it, I can't afford to pay for it. I'll tell you the number and you'll call it."

She also reported a mobile phone number, and after dialing, Shen Xiaojun handed the phone to her.

"Hey, Jianguo! I'm Zhang Hong. Someone wants to buy your house... Yes, I told you the price. She said she wants to talk to you... Yes, this is her phone number. ... I think she is quite Those with money should be able to afford it." He lowered his voice and whispered the last part of the phone.

Shen Xiaojun heard it...

Duan Xia pulled Shen Xiaojun aside and whispered: "Is it too expensive? Do you really want it?"

Shen Xiaojun asked her, "Is this yard good?"

Duan Xia glanced left and right and said, maybe it was against her will, "...it's really good. I like it, but it's a bit too big. How can I live in all these houses?"

Shen Xiaojun listened to the phone and whispered: "After living in Xiaowei and Xiaoyue's dance studio and painting studio, I plan to let Xiaoyue start learning piano. There must also be a place to put the piano. Yaoyao's room, he will I still don’t know what I’m going to learn when I’m older, and my parents-in-law have to prepare your room as well, so after all, there won’t be much left.”

That's right, Shen Xiaojun has already planned to move here. After buying it, she will have to renovate it carefully. The kitchen will have to be moved to the front, and there will have to be a separate dining room, living room, and bathroom. One of them will not be enough. So inconvenient...

Duan Xia felt quite comfortable after hearing this. Her daughter bought a house and even prepared their room. Who said raising a girl is in vain?Call him out and give him a good talk.

"What about the apartment we live in now? Can't we live in it anymore?"

"We can't live in it anymore! If someone rents it, rent it out. If no one wants to rent it, just leave it there!"

She didn’t know whether Tianshui Lane would be demolished. Anyway, it wasn’t going to be demolished here. In two years, repairs to the streets, lanes, wall shops, etc. outside would start. She didn’t need to worry about it. The government would solve the problem. She would just wait for the old buildings to be renovated. Get a new look!

"Sister, here, Jianguo wants to talk to you, you two."

Shen Xiaojun was thinking about how to decorate later, when Zhang Hong handed her the phone.

Take the phone and go aside to communicate.

After chatting for about twenty minutes, the landlord gave in and lowered the price to 18. He came back to transfer the property three days later.

After coming out of the door, Aunt Qiu clapped her hands and said congratulations: "Congratulations, your family is the only one in Tianshui Lane who can afford such a spacious yard!"

"I feel embarrassed when my aunt says this. When I actually buy it, I will invite her to a restaurant and give her a red envelope."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Shen Xiaojun is in high spirits during happy events and feels lighter when walking.

She wanted to buy a yard in the old street, but she didn't expect that the yard was so big and well-protected. 18 was not expensive at all, and in a few years the three shops facing the street would cost more than that!

Make big profits!

Seeing that her father remained silent, she asked him, "Dad, what do you think?"

Shen Wende glanced at her and said "good".
