Chapter 144 Bought a house
What should Pei Zhiqiang do with his work? This problem remains unsolved for the time being.
After all, he didn’t have any skills, and the Pei family had no way to help him find a better job in the city, so the whole family’s move to the city could only be put on hold for the time being.
The Pei family decided to buy the house first.
The Pei family first went to the city to find a real estate agency and asked them to help find several suitable houses. Finally, they selected a building that was relatively close to No. 18 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School, called Mingmen Community.
This property was sold out a few years ago, so if you want to buy a house here, you can only buy someone else's second-hand house.
The Pei family, led by a real estate agency, went to Mingmen Community for on-site observation and looked at about three houses.
The first one is a second-hand clean water house. The other two are simply renovated, but have higher floors. The second one costs 850 yuan per square meter, and the third one is cheaper.
The savings in the hands of the Pei family plus Pei Tiantian's 70,000 yuan totaled about 110,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan. Among the three houses shown by the real estate agent, the third house was the cheapest because the owner was anxious to sell. It only costs 700 yuan, so they plan to buy a third house.
This house has an area of 105 square meters. Wang Ruizhen walked to the living room of the house and found that the lighting in the living room was not particularly good, but compared with the first and second houses, this house was already more suitable.
Wang Ruizhen said to Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhi: "What do you think?"
Pei Zhiwen: "That's it. We still have to buy furniture. That's almost it."
Pei Zhiqiang: “I have no objection.”
“Tiantian, what do you think?” Wang Ruizhen asked.
Pei Tiantian shook her head: "Nai, I will listen to you."
Wang Ruizhen nodded. She told the real estate agent that she planned to buy this house.
The real estate agent had an extremely sincere smile on her face. She and the Pei family were about to sign the contract with the company.
The group of people were walking to the gate of the community when suddenly, Pei Tiantian noticed two familiar figures.
The one walking in front is Jia Shuhong, and the one behind is Ma Xiangdong
Pei Tiantian shouted: "Teacher Ma, Aunt Jia!"
Ma Xiangdong quickly turned his head and saw that it was the little girl Pei Tiantian. He also saw several adults standing behind Pei Tiantian.
Ma Xiangdong also met Pei’s family and naturally recognized them, so he introduced them to Jia Shuhong. They were Pei Tiantian’s family members.
After Jia Shuhong found out, he walked up to say hello to them.
Looking at the confused eyes of the Pei family, Ma Xiangdong explained to the Pei family that Jia Shuhong was his aunt whose throat was cured by Tiantian.
Only then did the Pei family understand.
Ma Xiangdong asked: "Are you coming to this community to visit relatives?"
Wang Ruizhen said: "No, the children at home will go to school here soon, so we plan to buy a house near the school so that it is convenient for the children to go to school."
“So that’s it, that’s a coincidence, I also live in this community.” Ma Xiangdong said with a smile.
Pei Tiantian stared at her round grape eyes, filled with surprise.
She thought she would rarely meet Ma Xiangdong again. What she didn't expect was that Ma Xiangdong and she would live in the same community.
Pei Tiantian said with a smile: "Teacher Ma, it turns out you also bought a house here."
Ma Xiangdong: "I didn't buy it. My uncle and his company built this community for free, so they gave it to me for free. If I don't live in it, I won't live in it for free."
Pei Tiantian: “…” Teacher Ma’s ability to attract hatred is still adequate.
Showing off wealth invisibly is the most deadly.
Ma Xiangdong was also very surprised, but he was still very happy to see Pei Tiantian again.
The whole city is so big. The Pei family chose his community. Doesn't this mean that he and Pei Tiantian are destined?
Pei Tiantian blinked and said with a smile: "Then I can go to Teacher Ma's house to have a meal. Teacher Ma, you won't welcome us, right?"
When Ma Xiangdong heard this, he looked at her funny, "You little girl, come whenever you want. Don't worry, Teacher Ma won't be unable to treat you to a meal."
Wang Ruizhen was also very happy. Ma Xiangdong lived in this community, and Pei Tiantian and the others lived here after that. If something urgent happened, at least there would be a reliable adult.
Jia Shuhong said: "Have you checked out your house?"
Pei Zhiwen: "Okay, now I'm ready to sign the contract."
Ma Xiangdong: "Which house are you looking at?"
Wang Ruizhen said it was a house in the 8-3 house in the 2nd building.
Jia Shuhong said: "The eighth floor is a bit high. Tiantian is still a child. She is quite tired from climbing up and down every day."
Pei Zhiwen said: "It is indeed a bit high, but compared with the other houses, this house is already considered good, and the most important thing is that the price is more than 100 yuan cheaper per square meter than the other houses we looked at. So we decided to buy this house.”
Jia Shuhong said thoughtfully: "Xiangdong and I are on the third floor of Building 2. Come up with us and have a look."
When the Pei family heard this, they thought Jia Shuhong invited them to sit at home, so they nodded and asked the real estate agent to leave first, and they would go back to the company to sign the contract later.
After the real estate agent left, the Pei family followed Ma Xiangdong and Jia Shuhong to the third floor.
Ma Xiangdong’s house is 3-1, and Jia Shuhong is opposite him, 3-2.
This apartment has a good layout, so when it opened for sale a few years ago, Jia Shuhong not only gave one to Ma Xiangdong, but also kept one for herself.
After Jia Shuhong opened the door, he let the Pei family in and showed them around the living room, kitchen, and four bedrooms. Jia Shuhong said: "What do you think?"
Wang Ruizhen looked around and saw that the house was very large, about one hundred and thirty square meters.
Smooth tile floors, solid wood furniture, leather sofas, and complete home appliances.
“The decoration is really good.” Wang Ruizhen sighed.
However, perhaps because Jia Shuhong rarely comes to live there, although this house is fully furnished and looks expensive, it lacks a bit of popularity.
Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang also nodded. Of course it is good. The only drawback is that it is too expensive. The total cost of these furniture is at least tens of thousands of yuan.
Jia Shuhong saw that the Pei family were quite satisfied, so she said, "Do you want to take another look at this house? See if there is anything in this house that needs to be renovated."
After hearing this, Wang Ruizhen felt more and more strange. Since Jia Shuhong rarely lived in this house, why was it necessary to redecorate it? "No, this house is good enough. There is no need to change anything."
Pei Tiantian stood aside, and a suspicion gradually emerged in her mind. Could it be that Jia Shuhong wanted to give this house to them?
The next moment, Pei Tiantian's suspicion was verified. Jia Shuhong said: "If you are very satisfied with this house, then I will give this house to you."
Jia Shuhong's voice was very calm, but as soon as she finished speaking, the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The Pei family members were stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ma Xiangdong had mixed feelings, but he was not too surprised. In fact, when Jia Shuhong called the Pei family to look at the house just now, Ma Xiangdong had expected it.
But what I didn’t expect was that his aunt still had the most direct style, never minced words, and just gave it away.
"How can this be possible? How can we ask for your house for no reason?" Wang Ruizhen was the first to come to her senses and quickly refused.
The Pei family can all see that Jia Shuhong is not an ordinary person either in her dress or in her conversation.
But this time he directly said that he wanted to give people a house, which the Pei family had never seen before.
Jia Shuhong said: "How can you call it for nothing? If it weren't for Tiantian, I wouldn't be able to speak to this day. Just think of this house as my thank you gift."
Pei Zhiwen: "You asked Teacher Ma to bring gifts to our house before, and we accepted them all. Ginseng and abalone as a thank you gift are enough. Giving a house or something is too exaggerated. We will never ask for it. "
Although Pei Tiantian feels it is a pity, she also knows that this is the style of the Pei family.
Pei Tiantian pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Jia, thank you for your kindness, but no, we brought money today. We have money in hand and can buy a house by ourselves!"
Ma Xiangdong smiled and smoothed things over: "How about this, Tiantian, since your family wants to buy a house, why don't you just buy my aunt's house? You live here, and I happen to be a neighbor across the door, and we also have something to do with each other. Take care of.”
What Ma Xiangdong said was very heart-warming, but they couldn't afford Jia Shuhong's house.
Jia Shuhong's house is larger than the 105-square-meter house they just looked at. It should be the largest house in the community. Coupled with the furniture in the house, the price is conservatively estimated to be more than 150,000 to 60,000 yuan.
“We only have 120,000 yuan on hand, which should not be enough.”
Jia Shuhong shook his head: "Twenty-two thousand is more than enough. I didn't spend any money on this house in the first place. It's just the furniture that I spent money on. You really don't need to bear a big burden. I don't live in this house very often. It's unused. It’s a waste here in itself, wouldn’t it be nice to sell it to you?”
Ma Xiangdong also persuaded the Pei family to buy this house. He also said that his aunt had too many houses, and this one was not enough.
Pei Tiantian: "..." Wuwuwu, she felt even more sour when she heard this.
With Jia Shuhong and Ma Xiangdong’s persuasion, the Pei family finally nodded.
They stopped cooperating with the real estate agency, and Jia Shuhong took them directly to the house.
The name on the real estate certificate was written by Wang Ruizhen’s name after everyone’s unanimous discussion.
After completing the transfer procedures, the Pei family invited Jia Shuhong to have a casual meal together.
The Pei family wanted to take care of Xie Jiagui's business, so they brought Jia Shuhong and Ma Xiangdong to the imperial dining room for dinner.
Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan were still busy in the lobby. When they saw them coming, they asked how the house purchase was going.
Pei Zhiwen told them that not only had they bought the house, but they also bought the largest apartment, with all the furniture and decorations, and spent 120,000 yuan.
Wan Cuilan still can't believe that such a good thing can happen. Isn't this a big bargain?
Wang Ruizhen introduced Jia Shuhong's identity to them, and Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan knew that it was because Pei Tiantian had cured this person's eyes before that she sold the house to them at a low price.
Wan Cuilan and Zhou Wanhong both had to sigh that their luck was indeed good.
Of course, all this is because of Tiantian. If it weren't for Tiantian, they wouldn't be able to afford the full payment of the house, let alone buy it at a low price.
During the meal, Pei Tiantian sat next to Jia Shuhong, eating one bite at a time and introducing various dishes to Jia Shuhong.
The little girl was talking happily, and no one would like her cleverness.
Jia Shuhong looked at this little dumpling with tender eyes. She was so clingy and cute. She was so happy that she wished she could hold her and kiss her more.
However, because Jia Shuhong and Ma Xiangdong had something to do in the afternoon, they left in a hurry without saying anything else to the Pei family after eating.
The Pei family returned to the village with the contract in their arms. They really didn't expect that they could buy such a good house in such a hassle-free way. They didn't have to decorate or buy furniture by themselves.
Wang Ruizhen carefully put the contract into her drawer, thinking that when school started, the children could just pack their bags and move in. It would be really convenient.
Pei Zhiqiang said: "In the end, all this is Tiantian's credit, but Teacher Ma's aunt is indeed a real person."
Pei Zhiwen also sighed: "People say that the richer people are, the stingier they are, but it seems that is not necessarily the case."
After all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to give away a house worth hundreds of thousands.
The news that the Pei family bought a house in the city quickly spread throughout the village.
People in the village were sighing. The Pei family was really well-off. In order for their children to study, they went to the city to buy a big house. I heard it was well-decorated. They just moved in with their bags. It must have cost a lot of money. .
People in the village were chattering and came to ask how many thousands of yuan the Pei family had spent.
The Pei family are all strict-mouthed, but they refused to reveal a number to them.
Zou Hao said goodbye to the Pei family at the end of August after receiving the last course of treatment on his leg.
Wang Ruizhen said: "Haozi, take care of yourself. When you get to Beijing, remember to write us a letter to report that you are safe."
“Uncle, uncle, when you arrive in Beijing, you must take good care of yourself. You must eat and sleep on time. Also, you must write to me every month!”
Pei Tiantian raised her little face and said reluctantly.
Zou Hao nodded, then bent down and hugged Pei Tiantian. He glanced at Gu Rong, reached out and touched Gu Rong's little head, and said softly: "Take good care of Tiantian for me."
Gu Rong nodded, of course.
Zou Hao said goodbye to the Pei family again, then turned around and left with his bag on his back.
Zou Hao’s long legs walk powerfully, and there is no trace of any damage.
Zou Hao has returned to the strong soldier he once was, and now he is embarking on an unknown road.
Pei Tiantian looked at Zou Hao's back and could only silently pray that everything would be safe for him in Beijing.
