Chapter 23 Buying a House
The grandparents have two sons and two daughters who live in this old city, so the impact is still quite big, and the children are all older and have their own ideas. In the evening, Grandpa's children came and wanted to discuss what to do. (Of course, grandparents also have siblings, but they were just notified of this)
The idea of the uncle, who is the grandfather's eldest son, is that he thinks that the demolition money will be more in the future, and he is not in a hurry to move, and this idea has been agreed by the aunt (grandfather's eldest daughter). The old aunt (grandfather's youngest daughter) is very excited about a profitable business in the south, but there is not so much money, and now that the demolition is over, the financial problem is solved, and she wants to get the demolition money as soon as possible, and the whole family goes to the south to do business.
Chen Yuanyuan's parents' thoughts are similar to those of my aunt, but the use of money is different. Parents wanting a boy has always been a problem. Business is booming day by day, trying to be stable, and I don't want to be bigger for the time being. Now that I have spare money for the demolition, I want to buy a building (not the whole building, but the living quarter) as soon as possible, settle down, and prepare for the birth of children in the future.
My grandparents are old but still can't be idle, and they are used to playing with the yard, so they don't want to change anymore, so they want to go to the suburbs to buy a yard. The old couple also has a quiet meaning in doing this, this is going to be demolished, and the movement must be not small, and they must also move out as soon as possible.
Everyone's thoughts were spoken, and the grandparents had no intention of hindering their children's ideas, but there was a requirement that even if they went their separate ways in the future, they must come back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year with them.
The discussion has already reached a result, the process is still very smooth, everyone breathes a sigh of relief, in fact, the children are still a little afraid that the old man will make any obstructive moves. Later, they discussed the details, and when they saw that the time was not early, they went home to prepare.
The next day, the grandfather showed his old face and went to the previous leader with some gifts, where he determined the fact of the relocation, and asked how much demolition money he could give, but the leader did not give a clear answer, but said a lot of comforting words to make the grandfather feel at ease first, and said that he would not lose him. The grandfather who came back didn't get the answer he wanted, and he kept a calm face, thinking that if it wasn't for the old leader who used to take care of him often, he suspected that the old leader was fooling people.
It will take some time for the demolition to spread, and Chen Yuanyuan's parents took a lot of time to go to various sales offices to find suitable buildings during this period. The parents revealed their thoughts to Chen Yuanyuan, they wanted to buy a two-bedroom, a living room and a bathroom, and the area should not be too small. In fact, at the beginning, I wanted to buy a three-room room (I was afraid that I would have more children in the future and would not be able to live in it), but after asking the price was too expensive, I gave up.
The buildings in the suburbs also went to take a look, and they were all good, but the suburbs were really far away from the store, and it was inconvenient, so they were no longer considered. Chen Yuanyuan's parents tossed for a long time, almost searched the places where the house was sold, and finally found a suitable one in a newly built community in Tiexi District, the price was fair, with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom plus a small utility room. It's just a second-hand house, the original owner bought the house and didn't decorate it, and now the business capital turnover can't be opened, and he plans to sell it.
Buying a second-hand house is generally a one-time payment for all the house, and the parents don't have that much money for the time being, but they discussed it with the original owner. The original owner agreed to promise Chen Yuanyuan's parents that he would not sell to anyone else if he gave a deposit, but he had to make up all the remaining money within a month, otherwise the deposit would not be returned. After discussing it, the parents agreed, so they went to the regular department together (the original owner) and signed the contract.
It didn't take long for the news of the demolition of the old town to spread, and the government also issued an official notice. At this time, the people who knew earlier that they would be demolished were very calm, and the people who had just known for a short time became a pot of porridge, and they had all kinds of ideas. Chen Yuanyuan's grandfather also received a specific amount of compensation from the old leader, which was a little more than the amount notified by the government. Chen Yuanyuan knew that this was the same as the money that his parents got for half a year in the previous life.
The city government seems to attach great importance to the reconstruction of the old city, and no one can support the demolition for half a year in the previous life, and they have all moved away for various reasons, and I have not heard of anyone going to other places to make trouble.
Linchuan City (the city where Chen Yuanyuan lives) is surrounded by several relatively high mountains and several peculiar landscapes. The surrounding scenery is also relatively beautiful, and it will be very attractive to artificially modify it in the future. The best thing was that there were several small hot springs at the foot of the highest mountain, which made the new mayor very happy, thinking that his predecessors would not see these treasures.
The people who can be the mayor of the city are powerful people, and I don't know where he attracted a lot of money, so he began to start tourism. The scenic area should have the necessary protection and basic measures, but also to develop several attractive scenic spots, the most important thing is to make use of the hot springs, build a big hotel, and engage in health preservation. After that, there are some bits and pieces, such as mountain climbing, rock climbing, bungee jumping, building an artificial lake or something.
The mayor, who was full of energy, also thought of transforming the old town of the city into a place of consumption for shopping, food, and entertainment. Of course, these things can only be done slowly, first to promote tourism in the surrounding area, and the city's economy will develop, and the city's reconstruction will have funds. Taking his time step by step, the smiling mayor had inner ambition in his eyes.
Not many of the first people in the office building came to receive the demolition money, because many people still haven't made up their minds. The parents also arrived, but instead of being with these people, they went to another window. When they arrived at the place, there were not many people, and soon it was Chen Yuanyuan's parents' turn, and they raised a question, that is, whether they could not move out after signing the contract, because the place to live had not yet been found. The staff who received them thought about it, and gave them three months to prepare, prepared a few documents and handed them over.
In addition to the basic documents related to the demolition, there is also a notice that can be postponed to move out. Chen Yuanyuan's parents were satisfied with this, and it was inevitable to thank them for their kindness, and they also gave two small gifts, but they were pushed back.
The parents' demolition money was in their hands, of course, it was a lot more stable, but they still contacted the owner of the house as soon as possible and paid the balance. At that time, the owner of the house who came to withdraw the money behaved a little strangely, he felt that he had sold the house early, otherwise he could have made more money. Then a large area of the old city is going to be demolished, so many people will buy and rent houses, and it is normal for housing prices to rise.
Of course, the owner came not only to withdraw money, but also to run various departments with his parents to transfer the property, in short, the owner of the house is still very good, and he did not change his mind halfway, and he seems to be very conscientious.
The house was bought, but it still had to be renovated, and the parents felt that the money in their hands was quite abundant, so they wanted to get it right. I found a decoration team, discussed a plan that satisfied my parents, and started construction. The time spent on decoration plus the idle time (house ventilation, formaldehyde and other harmful substances brought by the discharge materials) time, how can it be less than half a year, of which three months of the house in the old city can still be used, and the rest of the time has to rent a house as a warehouse, put the clothes to be sold in the store. Where to live, Chen Yuanyuan can go with his grandparents, and his parents can set up a folding bed in the store to deal with it for a while.
