My 1979

Li He had been thinking about that house these days. He finally got to work at the housing management bureau on the fifth day of the lunar month and went to find Old Man Li in a hurry.

He Fang said, "You are really a loser. I have never seen anyone who is in a hurry to give money to someone. Not to mention the shabby house, what is the use of buying it? Not to mention you don't have legs and you can't run."

"If you don't know anything, talk less. In ten years, no, within ten years, I will surprise you." Li He gave He Fang a contemptuous look, "Stay at home. I will be back for lunch at noon."

The sun was out, it was warm, and the snow on the road melted a lot. Li He packed up his money and household registration book, put on his gloves, got on his bicycle and hurried towards Old Man Li.

It took me a whole morning to finally get the real estate certificate.

Under the jujube tree in the yard, girls danced with rubber bands and kicked shuttlecocks, while boys bounced glass balls or patted drawing paper. Everyone had a great time playing hide-and-seek, and Li He smiled knowingly.

I looked around the yard again, and the more I looked, the more I felt it was a good deal. This place is actually within the second ring road!

Pick up the leak!

This is really a leak!

The Fourth City District is basically within the Second Ring Road. This is not a man-made rule, but because when the Second Ring Road was originally built, it was built along the old moat.

The capital city has a city wall. Inside the city wall is the inner city, and beyond the city wall is the outside of the city. Don’t look at Zhongguancun, the embassy district, Jianguomenwai, and the CBD are all prosperous areas now, but they were all wastelands outside the city at the beginning. Or a cemetery.

In fact, you only need to listen to the names of these places to know what they were like in the past. Zhongguancun is a village. It should have been called Zhongguan Village. Zhongguan is another name for eunuchs. That place was where the eunuchs in the imperial city retired. A nursing home later.

But it is different inside the city wall. There is a saying that the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble!

The east and west directions here refer to the two areas of Dongcheng and Xicheng. Dongcheng gathered a large number of wealthy businessmen in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, while Xicheng was the residence of officials, so it is called East Rich and West Exquisite.

As for the two directions of north and south, it does not refer to the two urban areas of north and south, but specifically refers to the area outside Qianmen and Drum Tower, north to Deshengmen.

At that time, most of the people living south of Qianmen were from various religions and working people, so they were called Nanpong because they were relatively poor. Those who live north of the Drum Tower and near Desheng Gate are mostly the family members of the eunuchs and maids in the palace. Although they are not too poor, their status is relatively low, so they are called Beijian.

Li He knew that the price of a courtyard house would skyrocket, and the magnitude would be extremely high. After the arrival of a regular courtyard house, the price had already reached 8 figures, and it was priceless but not marketable. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy it.

The reasons for this are complex. There are factors such as urban reconstruction that demolished a large number of original courtyard houses, and there are also factors in which some people who became wealthy first deliberately purchased these courtyard houses and renovated them to use as residences in order to miss their childhood or to be unconventional.

And honestly speaking, the courtyard is indeed more suitable for people to live in. There are houses and land in this courtyard, which can not only live in but also do some appropriate entertainment activities, and the sealing is good. It is not like living in a building, which is just a Bird cage.

If it had been a few years later and house prices had really started to soar, even if there were still remaining courtyard houses, even if Li He had the financial means, he would probably have to spend a lot of money.
