She said that she had to tell me tomorrow, that is, she took me and Jiangxi to a place on the weekend, and she said to go to investigate, go to play, and buy a house by the way when it is suitable.

This wave of operations is really slippery.

It turned out that she took me to Yanjiao, which is part of Sanhe City, Hebei Province, but ...... This location is only an hour away from the International Trade Center in the center of Beijing, and of course, it takes an hour and a half to get there if you are prepared for unexpected traffic jams.

As mentioned earlier, Jiang Xi has a classmate named Liu Jiantao, this classmate's family is not financially good, in addition to boiled water and steamed buns during college, he only has one more vegetarian dish than me, cough! That seems to be much better than me.

Because he didn't have the money to buy a house in Beijing, he bought a house in Yanjiao this year, and they chose a top floor without an elevator, so it was several hundred cheaper than the average price of 3,000 yuan per square meter, so they spent 200,000 yuan to buy a two-bedroom apartment of 76 square meters, with a down payment of more than 30,000 yuan and 60,000 yuan, and the rest of the loan was repaid about 2,000 yuan a month.

Her lover is the same as him, he is also an ordinary clerk, the two of them get up at half past six in the morning every day, get on the bus at seven o'clock, and arrive at work from eight to half past eight, and the two of them together can earn more than 6,000 yuan a month, excluding the repayment of the loan, there are still 4,000 yuan of living expenses left, and a daughter is raised.

In the eyes of ordinary young people, it can be said that they are very difficult, but when I met them, I saw the husband and wife smiling and satisfied.

Liu Jiantao said, "Although our family does not have much food left, I have a good temper, and my wife loves me very much, so we work hard and are happy." ”

He was holding his two-year-old daughter in his arms, and he was holding his wife, who looked average, but when he looked at his face, he felt that he was very virtuous, and he looked like a beautiful child.

I had the style I had back then!

Jiang Xi and I were happy for them when we saw them like this, and we laughed and chatted.

said that it was small talk, but in fact, every word Jiang Xi said had a purpose.

"You live here, how do you feel about Yanjiao? Is life convenient? What about transportation and education facilities?"

Look, as soon as you open your mouth, it's all a professional question.

Liu Jiantao enthusiastically explained to us, "The traffic here is not particularly convenient, but there is a bus to Beijing, which solves the big problem we just need, life is OK, buying vegetables and eating is not a problem, education is relatively poor, belongs to Hebei Province, but I am also a small place in my hometown, not as good as here, for us with poor conditions, it can also meet the demand, so, there are many people like us who come here to buy a house, and then go to work in Beijing, the bus is getting more and more crowded." ”

"That is to say, it is still worth buying, after all, the housing prices here are much cheaper than in Beijing. Jiang Xi said with a smile.

Liu Jiantao's lover also smiled and said, "Whether it's worth buying or not, it depends on your own conditions, if the conditions are good, you will definitely buy it, and if the conditions are not good, isn't it good to buy this? Anyway, Jiantao and I can have our own home here and work in the city, we feel very content and happy." ”

After listening to the words of their husband and wife, I have a feeling that many people are complaining about the high house price, so who is complaining about the high house price?

First of all, people who don't have any money, he won't complain about the high house price, because no matter how cheap it is, he can't afford it, and this kind of person won't think about buying a house in the city or big city at all, so they won't complain.

Secondly, rich people will not complain, they will buy it when it is expensive, and they will buy more, because the higher they grow, the more they earn.

Then there is only one kind of person who will complain, that is, the kind of person who can only afford a house of 100,000 yuan, but wants to buy a house of 200,000 yuan, and can only afford a house of 1 million yuan, but wants to enjoy the treatment of a house of 2 million yuan, is the most fond of complaining.

People's evaluation of any thing, whether it is good or not, is based on their own desires and interests, so people in this world are suffering a lot, and there are fewer and fewer people like Liu Jiantao and my wife and Jiang Xi who are full of satisfaction and happiness in their hearts.

In the past, when everyone was poor, people's mentality would be better, but now some people have taken off, and the remaining part has not taken off, so they feel extremely unbalanced in their hearts, and all the dissatisfaction lies in comparison.

They don't know how to put themselves in their own position, they are not satisfied with "being less than the upper than the bottom", they only focus on the person who is richer than themselves, and say in their hearts: Why is he bigger than the house I bought, why can't I be as rich as him?

Jiang Xi and I will feel happy and satisfied because we have a 40-square-meter house, which in the eyes of some people, may become a source of pain on the contrary, because the house is too small.

Therefore, I want to say that in this world, except for natural and man-made disasters, we are powerless to resist, and there is really nothing unfortunate about other things, which are just the desires of our hearts.

"Is there any good news here?"

Liu Jiantao said, "The good news is not allowed, can only be referenced, saying that Beijing may have to expand and develop in the future, Yanjiao is expected to be included in Beijing, and also said that some Beijing government functional departments may move here, because Beijing is already very crowded, we are all waiting, and I don't know what about the Year of the Monkey, haha!"

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "It's always good to have something to look forward to." ”

Everyone was chatting, and it suddenly rained outside, Jiang Xi's eyes were sharp, and she saw that there was yin water in a corner of the roof of her house, "Is there a water leak?"

Liu Jiantao smiled and said, "Who let us have no money, and still want to live in this house with a larger area, then we always have to pay a little, the top floor is tired of climbing the stairs, and it often leaks, but it can be repaired seriously, and it is not a big problem for us." ”

Look, this mentality is very positive, you get what you pay for, if you want to accept the cheap top floor, you have to accept the cheap factor, otherwise the developer is not stupid, why sell it to you cheaply.

When we got to know each other, Jiang Xi and I said goodbye to Liu Jiantao and his wife, but Jiang Xi did not take us back immediately, but took me and Jiang to eat, drink, play, and have fun in the surrounding area for a long time, observing the surrounding environment.

In the process of playing, I asked Jiang Xi, "Can you buy it here?"

To be honest, although I have listened to a lot of information, I really don't dare to make up my mind whether to buy it or not, because none of the information specifically says that there will be any good development trends here.

And Jiang Xi's reply to me was, "You can buy it!"

"Why?" I wondered.

Jiang Xi said, "The main reason is, of course, that this is close to Beijing, and people like Liu Jiantao, who are not economically strong, are not only tens of thousands, and they can settle down with a little hard work, unlike in Beijing, where there is no hope no matter how hard they work, so this kind of rigid needs will choose here." ”

"Is there any other reason?" I asked, always feeling that this was the only reason, and the strength was a little too weak.

Jiang Xi said with a smile, "There is also good news, which will definitely drive the housing prices here." ”

"All the good news came out, and there was no certainty!" Jiang Xi knew this.

Jiang Xi smiled again and said, " If it is determined, the house price here will be at least 5,000 square meters, that is, because it is not determined, the price has not risen, but, on the basis of a certain just need for customers, the supporting facilities are OK, this kind of news spreads more, it will attract speculative tenants, fried tenants come, the price will rise, after all, this place is backed by Beijing to enjoy the cool, 200,000 can not buy a loss, can not buy fooled, if it does not rise, it is okay to live for the squad leader in the future, and it will not delay him to go to Beijing to work or run errands...... Now it is necessary to consider that choosing a place closer to the bus station is the most valuable, because the education here cannot be counted on, and everyone must pay more attention to the transportation to Beijing. ”

Therefore, Jiang Xi has considered all the possibilities clearly, so he feels that he can buy it here, okay, anyway, I don't have the ability to think about it so thoroughly, so I don't have the confidence to decide where to buy a house.

At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, we had enough shopping, and Jiang Xi went to meet the sales lady of a real estate project that had been arranged in advance.

When she was at home, she had already selected two nearest real estate projects on the Internet, so in fact, when she was at home, she already had her own mature ideas, and came here to take a look, just to confirm whether her idea was right.

As it turns out, she never fights unprepared battles!

The first sales lady introduced her to the advantages of the real estate, such as the beautiful environment of the community, the elevator building has a total of 24 floors, and you don't have to climb the stairs when you are old, the 10th to 22nd floors are the most expensive, and the second is the cheapest.

After listening to the introduction, Jiang Xi said, "I want to see about 250,000 model rooms." ”

The sales lady took us to see the model room, the building type here basically belongs to the tube building type, that is, the middle is the aisle, east, south, west, north, four sides are the house, such a house is facing south, facing north are facing north, the middle household does not have a north-south transparent house type, only the side sets on both sides have north-south permeability.

After looking at the model room, Jiang Xi smiled at the sales lady and said, "Thank you, I need to go back and think about it." ”

Although the sales lady said a lot of sweet and nice things, Jiang Xi just smiled, but she just didn't respond.

After coming out of this real estate, Jiang Xi contacted the next real estate, which was a little 500 meters away from the bus, and the average price of the real estate, one square meter, was 200 yuan cheaper than the one just now.

At the beginning, the sales lady still had to introduce the surrounding environment, Jiang Xi directly interrupted her and said, "I want to take a look at the model room first." ”

I could sense that Jiang Xi didn't seem to be very interested in the information of his surroundings anymore.

The real estate of this family is a six-story multi-storey building, no elevator, the house type is decent, more than 70 square meters of house type, there are two rooms facing south, there is also a room facing south and one room facing north and south permeable house, and there is a small three-room, the living room is a little smaller.

After reading this apartment type, the sales staff took the initiative to introduce the surrounding environment, I listened, although it was separated from the one just now by 500 meters, but in fact, the supporting facilities are the same, including schools and communities, so ......

Jiang Xi didn't talk much nonsense, and said directly, "Choose a small three-bedroom apartment on the second floor of this building, if there is no second floor, choose the third floor, and don't want other floors and apartment types." ”

The sales lady was very happy, it seemed that she didn't expect to meet Jiang Xi such a refreshing customer, and immediately chose a few sets of second floors for her, Jiang Xi chose a second floor that she was satisfied with, and then she paid a deposit of 30,000 yuan, the house is an off-plan house, and it can only be built after two and a half years, but there is no tax on the off-plan house, so it is still very suitable for the squad leader to buy.

Next, she waited for the developer to notify her to go through the formal procedures, because it was the full amount, and the new real estate had a 95% discount, so she spent a total of 240,000 yuan on this house, and left 40,000 yuan for the squad leader.

I don't know what to say, anyway, thank my wife for my squad leader.

On the way back, I asked Jiang Xi, "Why did you decide to choose this property so quickly?" ”

Jiang Xi said, "First, this real estate is a six-storey multi-storey building, lower than the population density of the 20-storey high-rise elevator room, it will be quieter to live, and it must be better than the environment over there, after all, there are too many people in the community must be chaotic, second, I like the house type of the north and south, both rooms are facing south, the north side of the window house, it seems that although it is to give people a better lighting, warmer, but living in it will feel that the air circulation is poor, there is a feeling of breath-holding, I don't like it."

In fact, it is enough for the squad leader to live in a two-bedroom apartment, and the two-bedroom apartment is more spacious and bright. "I'm really puzzled, if it were me, I would definitely choose a two-bedroom apartment.

Jiang Xi smiled, with an expression of pointing out to me, "When buying a house, don't just consider your own living factors, you must take into account the appreciation factor and the sale factor, because people's ideas have become very fast, and the plan says that if you buy a house for ten years, you may not move. In less than three years, they will want to sell it for various objective and subjective reasons, then, for the same area, the three-bedroom must have a market than the two-bedroom, because one more room must be good, among the people who buy a house, there are still a few singles, and more have family members, in fact, the price of the second-hand housing market is also the total price of the three-bedroom is higher. ”

"Oh! That's right!" These must be Jiang Xi's own homework at home, and I haven't done this homework, so I don't know.

"Then why do you prefer the second and third floors? Don't they all say three gold and four silver?" I asked curiously.

Jiang Xi smiled again and explained to me, " Part of this is my subjective will, first of all, I chose this house, I saw that the design in front of the model is a street garden, so that the lighting on the second floor does not have any blocking, since there is no blocking, then choose the second floor is better than choosing the third floor to climb the stairs to save effort, not to mention the fourth floor, for me personally, climbing the fourth floor is no different from climbing the fifth floor, so, the fourth floor is nothing in my place, and the second floor has an advantage, there is one more advantage when shooting, that is, there are elderly families, you can only choose the first floor and the second floor, the second floor is compared with the first floor, the second floor has many advantages, such as the first floor has some damp, the problem of anti-taste, there is no second floor. ”

As she said, the second floor is the best choice.

"Of course, the choice of the second floor must be optimistic about the lighting, if the lighting is not good, then choose the third floor, if the third floor is not good, then according to personal circumstances, whether to choose the fourth or fifth floor, or choose to change a real estate. ”

When she finished, I couldn't help but clap my hands and applaud her.

Jiang Dongxi was eating sugar gourd on the side, and when she saw me clapping, she also bit the sugar gourd and clapped her hands with me.

She seemed to understand it too, and shouted, "Mommy is so good, she knows everything!"

Jiang Xi smiled and kissed Jiang Dongxi's face, "You're also great!"

Jiang Dongxi smiled very proudly and said, "Because I'm my mother's daughter, isn't it great?"

Look, my girl really can talk.

Then Jiang looked at me again, as if he felt that I was being left out, and said, "Dad is also great!"

As soon as I wanted to be happy, she said, "Because Daddy is Mommy's husband!"

I, "......" felt like I had no sense of existence.

"Ahem! It's a pity!" Jiang Xi suddenly sighed.

"What is a pity?" I wondered.

"It's a pity that the beloved house I bought with my heart is not mine, and you will have to return it to others when your squad leader comes out in the future, hahahaha!"

She smiled cutely and helplessly.

I sighed and laughed, but I couldn't say anything, I just thought that the next time I change jobs, I have to find someone with a higher salary, and save money to buy a house for my wife.

I am now working in X, and when I jumped from a small company to a large company due to the economic crisis, I didn't dare to ask for a high salary, and I still jumped ship at a flat salary, that is, my salary was still a little bit in the early 10,000s.

The last time Jiang Xi's mother's surgery fee, drained all our family's savings, now her mother passed away for three months, how much money we can have in our hands, I probably have a number in my heart, and it is far from buying a house, so this matter is just thinking about it, I never think that our family can buy a second house, Jiang Xi said that she is not greedy for a second house, we have a set to live in is already very satisfied.

Isn't there a saying that as long as a house is large and a house is small, it is enough to live in a large house, to spend more money and less money, to eat well, to eat well, and to eat well, and to be healthy and tidy is the greatest happiness and joy.

The days were calm and beautiful, except that my work went wrong again.

My personality is the kind of person in the company, others don't bring mat cushions, I won't bring my own, Jiang Xi bought it for me, I refused, because I don't want others to think I'm special.

In the company, I am the kind of honest person who needs to move a brick wherever I need to, so I didn't expect that this would become a reason for the leader to squeeze me arbitrarily.

Because my home is close to the company, as early as the initial probationary period, I have been working very hard, as long as there is a person in the company to work overtime, I will never leave the company, I only hope that there will be no problems during the probationary period.

I finally survived the three-month probationary period, and I thought that I got along well with my colleagues and leaders, but I found a problem, and the leaders often called me at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, 12 o'clock, 2 o'clock in the morning, and 3 o'clock in the morning, asking me to go to the company to deal with the problem.

Since the company has business dealings with companies in the United States, and we are the service side, and the American side is the customer side, we have to lick the dog unconditionally to cooperate with their time, and our side is their working time in the early morning.

And I, probably because I am closest to the company, a phone ride an electric car in five minutes, resulting in the leader using me without mercy, call me at any time if there is a problem, and the whole company is working overtime alone, this kind of thing can be done once or twice, for a long time, even if I can bear it, Jiang Xi can't bear it.

At first, Jiang Xi suggested that I talk to the leader, and I tactfully talked to the leader.

I said to the leader, "I can't stand it anymore." ”

The leader replied to me, "Okay, I got it!"

I thought the leader would understand my difficulties, but ......

I received a call in the middle of the night asking me to work overtime, and I really don't know what the leader thinks in his heart?

"It's going to be turned off after eleven o'clock tonight!" Jiang Xi gave me an order.

I actually felt very uncomfortable in my heart, but I still smiled and said to Jiang Xi, "I also want to turn off the phone after eleven o'clock, but it's not obvious that I don't want to be led by Diao, and if I don't lead Diao, I can still have good fruits to eat!"

"It's a big deal, I'll raise you!" Jiang Xi breathed a very loud tone.

I smiled and said, "Thank you, wife, you're so nice!"

I thought in my heart: Anyway, I don't have to be responsible for talking, just say it, relying on her 600 full attendance a month, I save money with her, maybe I can make do with it, what about the mortgage? What should I do with Jiang things? Give it away?

But I can't say these words, right, men, the pressure has to be borne by themselves, how can I make my wife anxious, not to mention that she also knows it, but she can't help but vent for a while.

Seeing me go out to work overtime at three o'clock in the morning, I saw the full sparkle in her beautiful big eyes, and I knew that she felt sorry for me.

When I arrive at the company at three o'clock in the morning, it is inevitable that the problem will not be solved quickly, most of them will be solved until the next morning, when the Americans get off work, I can go home, of course, the leader will also say, you sleep at home for half a day, and then come to the company in the afternoon, but often stay up all night, it is not at all that you can make up for it by sleeping a morning.

At noon the next day, when I was having dinner at home, Jiang Xi said to me, "You have to change your job, even if the place where you work is far away from home, as long as you don't stay up late and work overtime at such intensity, next time if you find a company close to home, don't tell the leader where you live." ”

"I know my wife, I have recently started to send resumes, or ride donkeys to find horses. ”

I also feel that this job must be changed, otherwise I will really burst my liver, who will support my wife and children?

In this way, I began to send out my resume, because the economic crisis has not been resolved, so there are very few companies that have replied, but I still received an interview notice from Moto XX Company.

I went to the interview with hope, and when I met the interviewer, I tried to express myself and try to let him know all my strengths, and then I felt that my efforts were working, and the interviewer showed me a special enthusiasm.

Finally, he smiled and said to me, "Go back and wait for the notice!"

I still remember his friendly smile and the fact that I saw his appreciation for me in his eyes.

I happily said, "Okay!"

When I got home, I was almost excited to tell Jiang Xi about my interview experience.

"Wife, I think this interview was a success, and this job should be done. ”

I was really very confident, and I began to fantasize about what car I would take to work every day in the future, when the motorcycle xx was near the International Trade Center, far away from home, thinking that there would never be a leader calling me in the middle of the night to ask me to work overtime.

"Wife, wife, this time I plan to ask for more salary, at least 12,000...... Wife, why don't you respond to me?"

Jiang Xi looked at me and smiled meaningfully, "Because I don't think you will succeed in this interview." ”
