Chapter 274: Sister Savvy
"That's it?"
There are three black lines on the forehead of the black glasses, some long and some short, with an expression of 'are you kidding me'.
This is a low-rent public housing estate.
The Low Rent Housing Scheme (LRS) is a housing construction scheme implemented in Hong Kong from 1962 to 1973, designed and constructed by the Public Works Department in Hong Kong.
Its original purpose was to resettle the poor who had migrated to Hong Kong but could not afford to buy a flat.
Later, the low-cost housing scheme took on a bigger and more task, shifting from resettlement to alleviating the social unrest caused by overcrowding in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
As a result, each low-cost housing building is managed by the Hong Kong Building Board after completion.
It was not until 1973 that the Government brought low-cost housing under the management of the newly established Housing Authority (HA) and unified it with all former Housing Renewal Association (RHA) low-rent estates as "Group A estates".
Wei Ping'an's channel relationship is a certain executive of the Housing Authority.
Because Hong Kong has the newly established Independent Commission Against Corruption in the 80s, Wei Ping'an's two low-rent houses were bought with real money in accordance with real-time standards.
Two units, totaling HK$240,000.
For Wei Ping'an, it's not even a drizzle.
But in exchange for the contempt of the dark glasses, which were so rich that they exploded.
"Okay, what are you doing with such high requirements, it's good to have a place to live."
Wei Ping'an shrugged, unimpressed by the little emotion of 'hatred and depression' in the black glasses.
He moved here with a clear direction.
Fulfill the dream of his youth in his previous life.
He is quite persistent in this.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been led by the nose by the 091 Meteorological Institute, and I would have to come to Hong Kong to carry out some bullshit plan.
With Wei Ping'an's worth and status, he can completely refuse what he doesn't want to do.
"Or the 11th floor?"
Hong Kong customs are very strong, and Feng Shui physiognomy is very popular here.
Black glasses are no strangers to Hong Kong, and they naturally understand the temperament of Hong Kong people.
"Is the cost of the office so tight?"
Wei Ping'an smiled and didn't say anything.
Naturally, he would not explain to Black Glasses that the treatment in the office was based on the level of the person.
According to Wei Ping'an's level, perhaps the treatment of the villa in the middle of the mountain is slightly insufficient, but at least it can provide a set of thousand-foot mansions and luxury cars as a means of transportation.
But Wei Ping'an didn't do it.
Even these two units, he paid out of his own pocket.
Why bother?
The 11th floor can be regarded as the most excluded floor in this low-rent building except for the 14th floor.
But the advantage is also quite obvious, that is, cheap.
The monthly rent is 400 Hong Kong dollars, and the buyout unit is only 120,000 yuan.
It's only 120,000.
After exiting the elevator, there are three corridors that are straight or oblique.
In broad daylight, it is not bright.
Public rental housing, the shared area is very small, and it is compressed in the house.
With less public pooling, there will be a few more rooms, and there will be a few more Hong Kong citizens who are scheduled to be accommodated.
The millions of citizens waiting to solve the housing problem are under tremendous pressure from the Hong Kong government.
It was also because of the unimaginable number that there was a 10-year housing plan, which was extended for another 5 years to become a 15-year plan.
The left-hand corridor is the smallest and shortest of the three corridors.
There are only six units facing each other.
From the innermost 1101 in the south, to the outermost 1103 in the south, to the 1104 in the north, to the innermost 1106.
The unit purchased by Wei Ping'an is here.
Two from the outside to the inside.
1103 and 1102.
The two units were next to each other, but Wei Ping'an obviously didn't plan to open both doors.
According to his plan, the 1102 inside was sealed from the inside and did not move, only going through the door of the 1103 outside.
I thought I was living in a big villa, but when I suddenly came to low-rent public housing, I was suddenly excited and not interested in it at all.
listlessly followed behind Wei Ping'an.
No way, who let himself be a partner with this guy.
It's a big deal to recognize the door, and you won't live here often in the future.
Wei Ping'an skillfully took out the key to open the door of 1103.
Push the door in, it's a small space.
The room is furnished with everyday furniture that is in line with the style of the poor middle peasants of this era in Hong Kong.
A lacquered wooden cabinet with an old-fashioned color TV with a big head.
Folding round table, several folding stools with backrests painted in yellow......
The reason why they are all folded is because the space is too small.
It can be put away when not in use to save space.
After all, a unit is only about 40 square meters.
And it's such a small space, and there is a bathroom and kitchen, as well as two small bedrooms.
can also enrich the living room that can make Wei Ping'an and the black glasses turn around and move around.
"Huh...... It's so spacious. ”
"Alright, it's enough for us to have a place to live."
"Huh? Listen to what you mean, it's not free? ”
"What do you think, 800 Hong Kong dollars / month, let's share it evenly."
Wei Ping'an was just joking with the black glasses, but it was just to divert attention.
Dark glasses pouted.
"That's why I prefer to live in the outback, even if the other facilities are a little bit unsatisfactory."
Wei Ping'an raised his eyebrows and raised the mobile terminal in his hand.
Well, it's a pity not to see the rolling of your eyes with black glasses.
Each place has its own advantages and disadvantages.
In this era of the previous life, the mainland obviously lacked confidence in saying such things.
But there is such a guy as Wei Ping'an in this time and space, and when he says this kind of thing, he can immediately straighten his waist and be confident.
The drum washing machine in the bathroom and the blue-screen mobile phone held by the big boss in Hong Kong are all patented products in the mainland.
This point, even the arrogant Hong Kong banana people, has no way to refute.
The inland land is vast and sparsely populated, and even if the residents are nervous, just like the courtyard houses in Beijing or the alleys in Shanghai, there is a gap between them and Hong Kong.
The kind that looks down on you.
Hong Kong is a small land, with a population of several million, and under every inch of land, it can have an area of 40 square meters, which is actually something that many ordinary middle- and lower-class residents yearn for a lifetime but cannot reach.
At this point, it is not as good as inland cities.
"Don't say I don't take care of you, the bedroom in the south Chaoyang is for you to live in."
Wei Ping'an didn't tell the black glasses that he bought the unit next door.
After the bedroom in the southeast corner is opened, the other 40-square-meter room can be used as a large living room for Wei Ping'an.
Well, you can buy a double bathtub with a jacuzzi.
Very spacious.
The black glasses walked inside, and I was quite surprised by Wei Ping'an's partner's knowledge.
The south-facing room is comfortable, and it is the farthest from the door, and there is less kitchen smoke.
Well, although the 40-square-meter small dwelling, the smell of oil smoke is diffuse, and the difference in this distance is almost no different, but after all, it is farther away.
And the bedroom is close to the innermost bathroom, which is convenient for getting up at night.
The dark glasses are quite satisfying.
Pull open the door.
The door is folded and sliding, presumably for the sake of space saving.
A small space to fit a bed or even two bedside tables.
"Ugh."
Dark glasses were disappointed.
Turning his head to look at Wei Ping'an.
The guy pulled open the door to his house as well.
It looks about the same size, but it's dim when the lights aren't turned on, and it's still a two-story wooden bunk bed.
Dark glasses pouted.
"It stands to reason that your eyes are more acute in the dark, do you want to change them?"
"It's dark, but I'm longing for the light."
The dark glasses smiled happily.
"Whatever you want."
It's so happily finalized.
Wei Ping'an threw his backpack on the lower bunk bed and pulled the door again.
Well, the door to that bedroom that already belonged to him.
The black glasses lie down directly.
When there is no task, this thing is the master who can lie down and does not want to sit.
I don't know how his physical fitness and strength are maintained, which makes Wei Ping'an very curious.
He decided that he would devote more time and energy to digging in the future.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel outside.
It was the almost howls of several men.
The verbal coercion and threats are strong.
Wei Ping'an's spatial projection was released instantly, and the corners of his mouth immediately hooked up a smile.
The main man he was looking forward to is here.
"The soundproofing is so poor. And I'm asking for a bunk bed for me too. ”
The black glasses said in a bored tone to Wei Ping'an.
Wei Ping'an looked over.
"The upper bunk can be used to put luggage and can also assist in stretching ......"
"Afternoon, or tomorrow?"
"Whatever you want. Can't you make a phone call and arrange for someone to send it over? We don't have that privilege anymore......"
"From the moment we move in, the rest of the support forces will be separated from us."
"Got it, safety first...... Why are you going? ”
"Look at the fun."
Seeing Wei Ping'an open the door and walk out, the black glasses asked.
In the small space outside the elevator room, there were four strong men arguing around the two women.
An old lady with gray hair and reading glasses, and a long-haired girl in a black T-shirt.
“…… That's right, give it, the old lady also said yes, this is our business rule, we have to give tea money when we move......"
"But...... You said that 300 yuan was all-inclusive, but now it has changed again. ”
Rapunzel is soft and weak, her voice is very soft, and it is also very pleasant to the ear.
Wei Ping'an was intoxicated for a while, almost ignoring the content.
It just so happened that three women also came out of room 1101 in the innermost part of the corridor.
The woman at the head looked to be in her early thirties at most, wearing jeans, a dark blue ordinary T-shirt, and her hair was pulled back at the back of her head, very sassy and capable.
The next two are obviously younger, mainly pink-colored little girls, one with braids, the other with long hair, and it is 100% certain that they are two female students at first glance.
The three of them came over one after the other.
I didn't run away without trouble, and I was a pretty good neighbor.
Wei Ping'an thought to himself.
At this time, one of the four strong men with short hair was a little annoyed, tilted his neck and stretched out his index finger, pointed at the pair of mothers-in-law and grandsons, and said arrogantly: "Na, Miss, I know where you live." ”
Among the three women who just came over, the one in the middle suddenly said, "She also knows which company you belong to." ”
Wei Ping'an saw that the girl at the back who seemed to be the youngest had a tangled face and a little frightened, and secretly dragged the clothes of the talking sister with his hand.
The short-haired man was annoyed: "It's your business." ”
may have heard the targeted words, and the elderly woman led by the leader immediately said to the pair of mothers-in-law and grandson:
"You give me their company's card, I'm going to ask the employees of that company for such a bad attitude."
The mother-in-law hesitated, and the long-haired granddaughter shook her head.
I don't know if I don't have a business card, or I don't dare to give it out.
I heard that someone had an idea to call the company to complain.
The four troublemakers were a little hesitant.
The short-haired man decisively changed his words: "That's it, forty yuan per person for tea, it's all right?" ”
The long-haired granddaughter shook her head, and her attitude was very resolute at this time.
Wei Ping'an watched from the side, guessing that it might not be because of the help of neighbors.
It's about her bottom line.
What's the bottom line for this Rapunzel?
It's definitely money.
If it weren't for the fact that life and character were too stingy, how could there be the nickname 'Sister'.
The meaning of miser.
The short-haired man went from forty to thirty, then to twenty, and finally shouted ten yuan.
Four people, ten yuan per person, is forty yuan.
You can't buy four lunches.
The long-haired granddaughter of the cute girl character still held the purse in her arms and shook her head firmly.
"Hey, you don't want to give just one piece, do you?"
The short-haired man sneered exaggeratedly.
Who knows, the long-haired granddaughter immediately took action and said, "Ah, you just said one yuan, right, I'll give this, I'll give ...... this"
while digging out money.
Wei Ping'an shook his head as he watched from the side.
No wonder it's called a girl.
It's really bad.
One dollar to send four moving employees, this is not a bargain, it is obviously a pure slap in the face.
The kind that is not very aggressive and extremely insulting.
Sure enough.
The four of them turned around and left.
Rapunzel didn't look back no matter how much she shouted.
I didn't think I was taking advantage of it, but I was insulted.
Just pick the child and leave.
The three sisters who acted bravely were kind and decisively offered to help.
The older woman also glanced at Wei Ping'an, who had been standing next to her but didn't say a word.
But there is no other emotional overtone.
It's enough to be herself, she doesn't know each other, and she has no obligation to help them build rapport with their neighbors.
She can only take care of her own little family.
The reason why I helped just now was because the other party's mother-in-law and grandchildren were all women and children, and they shared the same hatred for the enemy.
I saw the four of them take the elevator downstairs together.
The mother-in-law also went to the house and started cleaning.
Wei Ping'an smiled, and then took another elevator and followed downstairs.
Wait for Wei Ping'an to come downstairs.
There was a lot of scattered junk on the side of the road.
A large pile of discarded newspapers, tin cans, plastic bottles and cans after eating, and old antique tattered electric fans......
Wei Ping'an felt that just this bunch of guys was estimated to be worse than many homeless people under the overpass.
Today, I really see that someone has implemented what it means to be a real 'broken family'.
The three ladies were staring at the pair of tattered children with big eyes and small eyes.
The pink-clad girl with braids picked up a tin jar and asked her long-haired granddaughter questions.
I almost began to discuss the mental journey of my mother-in-law who wanted to throw it away, and it was not easy for her to collect it......
Wei Ping'an walked over, picked up the heaviest stack of newspapers, pulled up the tattered electric fan, and turned his head to walk into the building.
"Hey ......"
The long-haired granddaughter was startled.
You can't lose it.
You can use it yourself, and you can sell it for some money.
The older woman stopped her.
"That's our next-door neighbor, and it's just across the door from you."
