The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the chat came to noon, Chen Dahe picked up his tired and sleepy son, handed it to Aunt Lan and sent him back to the room to sleep, and he and Zheng Xinhe went to the restaurant to eat.

The weather is hot, and the dishes are relatively simple, a plate of braised pork and a plate of peanuts, plus two small stir-fries, and a case of cold beer comes out.

After pouring most of the bottle in one go, Chen Dahe sighed, wiped his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, how is the business of the restaurant now?"

"It's okay," Zheng Xinhe grinned and laughed, "It's really thanks to you for helping to set up this restaurant back then, and life is much better now, otherwise you have to be like most people, divided into a small dormitory, the whole family is crowded together, and there is no place to turn around,"

Putting the wine bottle on the table, after a slight pause, the smile on Zheng Xinhe's face retracted, looked at Chen Dahe and said, "Dahe, in fact, I came here today to discuss something with you." ”

Chen Dahe also put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at him with a smile, "I know that you, a busy person, come to the door for nothing, say it, what's the matter." ”

"That's the case," Zheng Xinhe lowered his head and said softly, "Last month, Fan Bowang came to look for me, he was not young, and the family told him about family affairs, I have seen that girl, the person is very good, but the girl's family has put forward a condition, the new house has to be settled in Beijin, and there are three turns and one sound and thirty-two legs are indispensable." ”

Hey, Chen Dahe's eyes widened when he heard it, this requirement is not low, three turns and one sound of thirty-two legs is just that, there is a mother-in-law who wants a room this year, and it is designated as Beijin, and the consciousness is quite advanced.

Zheng Xinhe continued, "People in their hometown think that Fan Zi is a college student and works in a ministry unit, so the conditions must not be bad, so this request is not excessive. But what about the reality, the ministry is really good compared to the general unit, there are dormitories for sleeping, canteens for eating, and bonuses in addition to wages every month, but the real situation you also know, even if the starting point of college students is high, it is also to count the length of service, now our monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan, life is enough, but buying a house is far behind, and the unit is divided, you have to get married first, and then queue up, and wait for the house to be at least a few years later, where can he wait for such a long time, so the family found a way to make up a part, and borrowed a part, planning to let him buy a small house in Beijin to live in first, ”

Chen Dahe nodded while listening, and suddenly asked, "Then he doesn't have enough money now?"

Although the house price in Beijin is far from comparable with later generations, it is not a few years ago when he bought a house, a house with a single courtyard is only four or five thousand, if you buy a suite without kitchen and bathroom in the courtyard is cheaper, more than 1,000 yuan can be sold, but someone has to sell it first. After four or five years of development, today's housing prices have almost doubled, just like the big courtyard he lives in now, he spent a small 50,000 yuan when he bought it, of course, it was expensive for him to buy, and the real price of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan is about the same, but now if it is released, 70,000 or 80,000 yuan is proper, and there is no problem at all.

Fan Bowang's family conditions are average, even if he makes up and borrows, how much can he have? Most of them still don't take advantage of the money, so he went to Zheng Xinhe to borrow money, after all, when he used to go to school, the two of them walked relatively close, and Lao Zheng's family opened a small restaurant, and he has saved a lot of money in recent years, and he also has money to borrow, with Zheng Xinhe's character, he will not not borrow, but he doesn't understand why Zheng Xinhe came to him.

Very surprised, Zheng Xinhe shook his head, "Although the money is a little worse, it is not much, if you really want to meet a suitable one, it is enough for me to make some for him, but the problem is that I can't find a suitable house!"

Chen Dahe was stunned when he heard this, "Can't find a house?"

"Yes," Zheng Xinhe nodded, with a wry smile on his face, "In the past few months, he has to go out to look for a house every weekend, and sometimes he has to go out to look for it at night, but he is not satisfied with looking for it." Some of them are too big, a complete set of houses, he doesn't have enough money to get it, and there are other people living in it, and there are small single rooms, basically no, I finally found a set, but I don't even have a house certificate, and I didn't buy a fart for a certificate! After he came to me, I also accompanied him to look for a while, and the reality is indeed such a situation. Originally, I still thought, I came to make up a little bit for him, just buy a small set of yards, but never thought, the only set of yards that no one lives, said to be a yard, in fact, it is a small can no longer be a small privately built side yard, barely able to live one or two households, not to mention, the price is 6,000 yuan, and there is no housing certificate, in addition to this set, the others are some large yards, but the situation of the large yard you should understand, now Manbei Jincheng looks, which yard is not inhabited by more than a dozen families, whether there is a certificate or not, are lying there, catch and can't rush, you say such a house, can you buy？！”

"You can't buy it," Chen Dahe smacked his lips, nodded thoughtfully, and then raised his head to look at him, "Then what do you have in mind when you came to me today? Let me come forward and find a suitable house for him?"

Whether it is the era of subdivision or the era of commercial housing, housing is always a topic that Chinese people can't avoid, just like the more than 20 houses he bought a few years ago, before he bought it, almost every set lived in more than a dozen families, the reason why he was able to take it down smoothly, in addition to the help of those brothers and sisters, the most important reason is that he bought the house directly with US dollars, and opened the way with US dollars in the first foreign exchange environment at that time, and it was naturally not too difficult to vacate those settled people.

And now Fan Bowang wants to buy a house, it is not so easy, many of the original owners who carry hundreds of thousands of square meters of mansion deed in their arms, they are still living in a side house in their own house, and there is no way to do anything for those who were assigned to live at home many years ago. Even the famous Prince Gong's Mansion is now divided by eight units, and more than 200 households live there, which shows how tight the housing in Beijin is now.

In this era, if you want to buy a suitable house, it is not so simple.

Zheng Xinhe listened to Chen Dahe's question, and did not answer directly, but said, "Dahe, I am thinking left and right, thinking about it, but I still can't help Fan Zi directly, Fan Zi wants to buy a house when he gets married, so what about the other people in our class, will they also want to buy a house? If I help Fan Zi today, other classmates will come to me in the future, will I help or not?" Although the relationship between everyone is far and near, but it is always the same, help, I have limited ability, do not help, is to favor one over the other, if you contribute money and effort but also provoke a body of resentment, this kind of thing or don't do it well, these days I am thinking about it, and finally barely thought of a way, I don't know if it works, I came to discuss with you. ”
