Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Bang Geng, why did you pay the deposit so quickly? We can still negotiate the price down."

As soon as the door of the housing center was sold, Jia Zhang complained to Bang Geng.

"Grandma, the key is that I don't have time. And grandma, do you think there will be more and more rich people in the future? Or fewer and fewer?"

“Of course it’s increasing, Bangteng, I know what you mean.

But I still feel uncomfortable. If the price drops by a few hundred yuan, how can I buy enough fat meat for my grandfather to eat? "

"Grandma, don't regret it. You've already bought the house and signed the contract. Once you get the keys, start decorating so you can move in sooner."

"Huai Ru, you know what, this newly built building looks more comfortable than the tube-shaped building. From now on, we will live better than the cadres."

"Mom, have you ever lived in a tube building?"

"No"

"Then how do you know it's better than a tube building?"

"Haven't you eaten pork yet seen a pig run? I've heard others say that.

It is said that the tube-shaped building is cold in winter and hot in summer. When it is time to eat, it is full of smoke. It is definitely not as good as our building.

Zhao Shanhe refused to live in a tube-shaped building when he was just graduated, preferring to live in a courtyard house. Doesn't this mean that tube-shaped buildings are not as good as courtyard houses?"

"Mom, Zhao Shanhe didn't go because he wanted to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Look at him now. I heard that he has his own small villa."

"I don't have the life to live in a villa, but I am content to live in the building bought by my eldest grandson. In the future, you can ask Yao Zu to work hard and buy a big villa for you, the grandmother, to live in."

"Grandma, Madam, what is a villa? Can I eat it?"

"Silly boy, a villa is a big house, bigger than the one we just saw."

"Then I will buy a big villa for grandma and my wife to live in in the future." Yaozu said in a baby voice.

"good boy"

"But this three-bedroom apartment of more than 80 square meters is not bad. It's much bigger than our courtyard house. Huaihua and Xiaodang are married now, so it's more than enough for our family."

Jia Zhang was thinking, "Bang Geng and his wife will live in the master bedroom, Huai Ru will sleep in one room with the kids, I will sleep in another room, and after I die, Yao Zu will sleep in a separate room."

Banggeng originally thought that 30,000 was enough to buy a big house, but he didn't expect that the unit price of a building was several times higher than that of a courtyard house. In the end, he bought a house of more than 80 square meters and almost spent all his money.

When Jia Zhang returned to the courtyard, everyone had finished dinner. Jia Zhang had eaten outside, so she didn't have to cook when she came back.

As soon as Jia Zhang came back, she was the center of attention. After dinner, everyone had nothing to do, so they went to the central courtyard to take a rest. When they saw Jia Zhang coming back, they swarmed around her like flies seeing shit.

Banggeng said hello and went back into the house with his wife and children. Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang stayed behind.

As the first family to buy a house in the courtyard, it is just like a high school graduate returning home in glory in ancient times. If he does not show off, it would be like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.

"Let me tell you, living in this building is like living on clouds. It makes you feel light and airy when you step on it."

In fact, Banggeng only bought the second floor, which has a total height of six floors. It was not like in later generations where buildings in big cities often have thirty or forty floors.

"Did you really buy it? Aunt Jia!"

"How could it be false? Do you think I'm out for fun? The house purchase contract is in Banggeng's briefcase."

"How much did it cost?"

"How much? Guess,"

"Eight thousand?"

"Eight thousand, are you dreaming? You can't even buy half a house."

"Oh my goodness, 8,000 yuan can buy two or three courtyard houses, but it can't even buy half a building. Are buildings so expensive?"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, how many square meters did you buy?" asked the third uncle.

"It's almost 100 square meters, twice or three times the size of your house."

"One plus one equals one, one plus two equals two, March 8th is Women's Day, May 1st is Labor Day," the uncle recited the algorithm formula.

"It's almost 100 square meters, so it would cost more than 30,000, almost 40,000."

Everyone around took a deep breath. My goodness, more than 30,000 yuan, now he is a millionaire.

"Uncle, what my mother-in-law said is not accurate. It is just over 80 square meters. It didn't cost more than 30,000 yuan, but almost 30,000 yuan." Qin Huairu explained beside him.

Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu a fierce look with his triangular eyes, and the warning was obvious: "Just sit there and don't talk. Don't ruin my show and watch me show off."

"More than 80 square meters, rounded up, isn't that almost 100 square meters? Almost. Don't you think so, Uncle San? Isn't that how you teach your students? So am I wrong to say that it's almost 100 square meters?"

Everyone nodded. It was nothing wrong. Over 80 square meters was almost 100 square meters.

"This is not how the Jia Zhang family calculates their accounts. I read in the newspaper that the price of a building is about 300 yuan per square meter, and each floor has a different price. You are 20 square meters short, which means you are 6,000 yuan short.

If it's a better floor, it would only cost 10,000 yuan, which means you'd be a millionaire."

"That cost almost thirty thousand yuan. Can you afford thirty thousand yuan?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Jia Zhang admit in person that she had spent 30,000 yuan. This widow's family was so wealthy.

"We definitely can't afford it. I guess no one in the courtyard can afford it except the Zhao family."

"That can't be compared with the Zhao family. The Zhao family is so awesome. They gave college students a bonus of more than 200,000 yuan. Who can compare with that?"

"I'm afraid you have forgotten about Sha Zhu's family. Other families may not have 30,000, but Sha Zhu's family definitely has it," said the third uncle affirmatively.

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense. How can our family have so much money as 30,000?" Ma Dongmei retorted immediately. She was well aware of the principle of not showing off one's wealth.

"Ma Dongmei, don't rush to refute me. I have a rough idea of ​​how much money each family in the compound earns.

When your father-in-law He Daqing first arrived there he received a salary of fifteen hundred, and Sha Zhu also received one thousand. Then not long after that it increased to two thousand. These two or three years have passed, can you calculate how much you have?

If we save 2,000 a month, that's 24,000 a year, so 48,000 in the past two years."

Ma Dongmei didn't expect that the third uncle's guess was so accurate. Her family's savings were much more than 48,000 yuan, but she still said stubbornly.

"Uncle, how can there be so much? This family doesn't spend money. Buying nutritional supplements for the children and buying things costs money.

This idiot always wants to drink good wine and smoke good cigarettes. I don't have a job, how can I afford so much?"

When the third uncle heard Ma Dongmei's rebuttal, he knew that his guess was correct, but Xiaoxiao did not respond. If he continued, he would offend her.

Jia Zhang was unhappy. She was showing off her house just now, but how come Ma Dongmei's house became hers in a moment? It was all because of Yan Laokou.

But people become shrewd as they age. Jia Zhang knows that too much is as bad as too little. Thirty thousand is enough to shock many people. If she continues to talk about it, people will easily ask about the source of the money and they will easily become jealous of the rich. If it gets out and is found out by poor relatives, it will cause a lot of trouble.

She knew very well how the 30,000 yuan came from. It was purely a show of wealth. The attention was diverted to Sha Zhu's family. It was time to stop showing off.

"Huai Ru, my waist and legs ache after running all day. Can you give me a massage when we get home?" Jia Zhang ran away.
