Chapter 929: The Strangled Youth (2)
"Mom and Dad, I talked about a girlfriend. We are ready to settle down in Jiangcheng. β
"It's a good thing to talk about your girlfriend!
Xiao Chen was silent and said: "We are going to settle down in Jiangcheng, I have taken a fancy to a house, and a down payment is required......"
"How much does it cost?
"Nine hundred thousand. β
900,000, a lot.
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, there was a long silence over there.
Finally, Chen's father's hearty voice came, "How long will it take, your mother and I still have some retirement salaries and some savings, help you make up." β
My father's voice was so optimistic, so hearty. But only Xiao Chen himself knows what it means behind 900,000.
It means that the savings of the old couple for almost a lifetime are not even enough.
Because these two people will definitely call their relatives and overdraw their lifelong credit to borrow.
It means that the old couple will be more frugal in their future life, and they will try to make money to repay the loan.
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen was on the balcony, looking at the night scene of Jiangcheng flowers, he cried loudly.
He is not the pride of the sky, he did not share much for his family, but continued to put pressure on his family.
He thought that his father and mother had worked hard all their lives, and they still couldn't let go, and he cried bitterly.
Life has to go on, and after the down payment is made, Xiao Chen finally bought the house he wants.
In order to show his love for Xiao Yin, the real estate certificate wrote the names of two people.
Because it is a hardcover house, Xiao Yin's family is also very sensible, and gave the two of them a dowry of 200,000 yuan, which can be regarded as making up for the housing decoration costs.
Xiao Yin also felt very sorry for her husband and took out her own money to repay the mortgage.
Xiao Yin and Xiao Chen received about 30,000 yuan in cash every month, and 18,000 yuan was left after paying off the mortgage.
After deducting the necessary expenses of daily life, it seems that life can still be lived.
But Xiao Chen and Xiao Yin were both trembling and working, not daring to resign easily, they tried their best to echo their bosses, and did not dare to speak their minds boldly.
Xiao Chen once had a dream of starting a business, but he knew that failure was greater than success, and if he failed, he would not be able to repay the mortgage without his job. Xiao Chen gave up this dream of his,
Xiao Yin has artistic talent, she hopes to go to the Western Regions of the Xia Kingdom, record the people and scenery there with a pen, she longs for herself to be able to study the changes of the art of the Xia Kingdom after being influenced by the Western Regions, she feels that she should do these things.
But when will artistic things be monetized?
Xiao Yin gave up his idea and put away his paintbrush, and worked as a clerk in a company in a proper manner.
Because they both know that if they are not careful, losing their jobs is losing their income, and losing their income means not paying off their mortgages.
When Xiao Yin was chatting with a friend, he said: "Maybe one day, my children will inherit my dream and go to the Western Regions to wander." β
Xiao Yin didn't know that many years ago, her mother also said something like this, maybe one day, my daughter will inherit my dream.
Life after marriage does not seem to be as good as imagined.
Later, when they had children, the expenses were even greater.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Yin have no savings, dare not buy expensive cosmetics and bags, and only dare to plan to travel once a year, if most of the places they go abroad are Southeast Asia.
They live in their houses, they quarrel, they have no savings, and their lives no longer seem to be so glamorous.
They repeat their work day after day, working day after day for the house.
Later the housing was old, and so were they.
In the year of the sixtieth year, Xiao Chen recalled his life.
He would smile like he had when he had just graduated from college, "The fastest moment was when I was in college, when I was full of dreams and I was alive." β
As the sun sets, the afterglow reflects the small second house in the corner of the elevator apartment that Xiao Chen bought.
Time passed, and his house was old and dilapidated, looking like an old and cold cage in the city.
This micro-film was filmed in a virtual world.
After the video was played, the young people at the scene burst into warm applause.
This video speaks the hearts of the majority of young people!
The micro-film does not deliberately portray how miserable Xiao Chen's family is, they are actually white-collar workers in the new era, at least they can afford to buy a house and travel once a year.
What about more families?
How many migrant workers in the city do not dare to think about their own housing at all, and a few people live in basements and urban villages.
There are also many families whose income is lower than that of Xiao Chen's family, please talk to them about their dreams and talk to them about life.
He Yuchu said: "In fact, the issue of housing has long been a clichΓ©, and we hate it and love him, because in our values, housing is a symbol of security." β
He Yuchu walked to the center of the stage, and the background of the big screen was still Xiao Chen's dilapidated house that had been old for a long time.
He Yuchu said: "I personally don't think there is a problem with such values, there are tens of millions of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy." What Du Fu said more than 1,000 years ago also has a strong meaning today. β
"I want housing to be a place to shelter our dreams, not a place to bury them. β
The big screen behind He Yuchu gives a set of economic models with a simple and clear picture of the components of housing prices.
Local economic development, local debt, people's income, and many other factors constitute the essence of housing prices.
He Yuchu sighed and said: "In fact, housing should really return to its essence, it is a place to live, and not too many other factors should be attached. Because of these factors, major cities across the country are stepping up the construction of housing, and whether they can live in it is not an important attribute that everyone pays attention to. β
On the big screen, Jiangcheng was simulated as an example.
Thirty years ago, the main city of Jiangcheng was surrounded by vast wetlands, lakes and forests.
At that time, Jiangcheng had a pleasant climate and was home to a variety of animals.
After the economic development accelerated, wetlands and lakes were filled, forest land was destroyed, and large and small commercial houses were built here.
And the number of these commercial houses far exceeds the number of household registrations in Jiangcheng.
Ghostly concrete buildings stand there, lifeless and lifeless.
On the contrary, the new generation of Jiangcheng people can no longer see the fish and shrimp in the small river ditch, the egrets in the wetlands, and the birds in the woods.
They grew up with strong concrete and a cold city.
He Yuchu said: "I think our generation should do something to change all this, I think we young people should live for their dreams, instead of cold houses, these idle houses, in fact, are not warm inside, they are really cold inside." β
The young people gave the warmest applause!
