Chapter 1124 - "Money Strings"
After two days, Zhou Jiao got the deed of a property, and accompanied by Zhang Guoqing, she went to the newly purchased yard for a walk.
Just one sense: enough rags.
Before, more than a dozen families lived in this courtyard, and many stoves and kitchens were built in the front and back yards, and the pattern was changed beyond recognition.
The original pond in the back garden has been filled in, and there are large and small firewood houses and chicken pens erected by earthquake sheds, as well as small patches of vegetable gardens.
Although all the families have moved away, except for the main building, it is miserable, and even a smell of urine can be smelled in each room.
She wondered if the original owner of the house didn't want it in the first place after he took it back. Otherwise, how should a large family move in safely?
In fact, not only this set of yards, but even the yards that Yi Jiefang had just added were also unrecognizable.
Maybe it was because the temporary residents who moved out were trying to vent their unhappiness, and some of them were still lacking in morality, not even screwing the faucets, and even the doors and windows were removed.
I don't know if I took it down and burned it as firewood or kept it as a souvenir, not to mention that the room covered with various oil stains and smoke was full of dismantled fire kang residues.
But with such a yard, the overall price is not much less, and these people who have returned to the city have been in their hands for a while, and they are not in a hurry to sell.
Later, Zhou Jiao learned that these former "Black Five Categories" had a dazzling background. Although there are not many yellow and white things returned after rehabilitation, the properties under the name have been returned to their original owners.
These disposed properties are just disgusted and unwilling to ask for them.
Listen to this......
When Zhou Jiao learned later, the slightest sympathy for the original owner was gone.
Everything has a cause and effect, and he cocked his tail less than half a year after returning to the city, which shows that the toss in the past ten years has not consumed the superiority in his bones, and he has not known how to hide his clumsiness.
Fortunately, the main building still exists, and there is no need to dismantle and rebuild.
The messy buildings in the yard are cleaned up, and then go elsewhere to collect some ancient bricks, old tiles, and old furniture, so that it can be repaired and maintained in the future.
It just so happened that in the autumn, some old alleys were to be demolished and rebuilt into new houses, and many of them were old bricks and tiles, which were not expensive, and they were all thrown away before.
A few people knew a lot of acquaintances, and they specially looked for someone to take care of this matter, and spent some money to successfully buy a cart of old bricks and tiles and demolished wooden windows and doors, and finally bought a lot of old furniture that some people didn't want, and piled up the yard and the west wing.
So during this time a year ago, Zhou Jiao and the other four daughters-in-law were busy again.
They don't do it themselves, but babies are everywhere.
While several men were looking for a lot of skilled hands to repair the yard, in the name of overseer, they inevitably wandered around in groups to exchange some old rags.
Zhou Jiao understands what Zhang Guoqing has been busy with recently, in order to divert her attention, or to not think about some problems that make her anxious.
She took over these jobs single-handedly, and walked around with everyone after commuting, plus there was a pregnant niece and daughter-in-law, so she had to run once a week, which was so busy that she couldn't help it.
But no matter how busy you are, there is always an end.
In the snowy wax moon, when the New Year was approaching, the courtyard of the five families finally recovered a little bit of appearance.
Of course, on such a cold day, it is impossible to have much work, and it is limited to ordinary repairs.
Before she and the other four could come up with a decision on whether to warm the house first, in less than a week, all five yards were rented out, and they were still in dollars.
According to Zhang Guoqing, it was Ding Datou's aunt who was a small boss in the housing bureau who handled it personally and rented it to several foreigners who came to work in the capital and especially liked the courtyard.
For the sake of Sino-foreign friendship, Aunt Ding, who was anxious to find a house for the other party, made up her mind with them. The reason is a bit ridiculous, if it were a few years ago, Aunt Ding's neck would be properly hung up.
But in some ways, it was also the five owners of the yard who owned them, and it was a lot of money. For example, the courtyard under the name of Ping An can collect $300 a month in rent, and Geng Dazhi, who has the smallest area in the second courtyard, also receives at least more than $160 a month.
It is said that these rents are still based on the different living environment, the rent is basically one dime to four cents per square meter, like the big courtyard is so good, the rent is higher, there are foreign banks competing to rent.
In this way, her family can collect 3,600 US dollars in rent a year, which is more than 5,780 yuan according to the exchange rate, and it only takes five or six years to repay the principal.
It can only be said that foreigners' money is really easy to make!
If it weren't for the fact that her father was Zhou Xiaozheng and she was Zhang Guoqing's wife, Zhou Jiao would have almost sent the Erjin Courtyard House under her name to Aunt Ding for rent.
After all, this money is not only bright on the bright side, but also not in vain.
But she also knew that it was too much. Not to mention that this set of courtyard houses is deliberately placed under the name of peace, even the jewelry in the collection has to be weighed and worn!
Now she can only comfort herself to wait, wait for the opportunity, and stay up until she changes anyway.
Unlike her, Zhou Xiaozheng has been very distressed about his family's "money strings" recently.
If you want him to see, this child is just busy.
The problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, so why supervise that little work, and those little daughters-in-law can be compared with his little padded jackets?
Thirty-nine days, working is tired enough, not to mention running around with those little daughters-in-law, and visiting some nephews and daughters-in-law every once in a while.
When the son-in-law who was busy with a dog blamed his daughter with complaint, he was happy to watch the excitement. So that you can! I was distressed and couldn't say anything serious, and someone finally spoke for me.
"Okay, okay, it's over, you don't have to go out except for work in the future."
Looking at the concerned eyes of the family, Zhou Jiao could only beg for mercy, who made her vulnerable? didn't look at it, even her Lao Tzu's gaze was disapproving.
Putting aside these miscellaneous things, seeing that the children are about to have winter vacation, there are some things that Zhou Jiao can't hide if he wants to, not to mention that Zhou Xiaozheng doesn't think that his daughter will be unaware.
Waiting for his wife to leave, Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his daughter seriously, "How much do you know about the news of border friction?" ”
Zhou Jiao hesitated, "Everyone who should know knows." ”
Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at his son-in-law when he heard this, saw Zhang Guoqing's worried expression when he looked at him, and knew that he hadn't revealed something yet, so he shook his head at him slightly.
"We've all reached the limit of our patience with border issues now. Last year, there were hundreds of clashes, large and small, and war was inevitable. ”
Zhou Jiao subconsciously shuddered, clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and looked at the two of them. What should come will come.
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
