My Courtyard Refuge

: The Rabbit’s Two Caves

At the dinner table, Xu Dong expressed his plan.

“What, buying a house?” Madam Xu was astonished.

“Yes, our family has to spend the 10 million as soon as possible. I think it is best to buy a house.”

The reason why Xu Dong wants to buy another house is not only that he is afraid of the depreciation of money, but also that he plans to find a “spare tire” for the courtyard house.

He didn’t think it through before.

He lived in Luyang in his previous life, and he only knew a general idea of ​​the situation in Yanjing, most of which he read from the newspapers, so he was blind to the specific situation.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

In case something goes wrong in the courtyard house, such as a fire, a change in policy, or the crime of conceiving Bi, the old Xu family will immediately fall into desperation.

At that time, it will be difficult to turn over again!

But having a “spare tire” is different. Even if you lose the courtyard house, you can at least have a way out, so you won’t be able to return to pre-liberation overnight.

Of course, these are just Xu Dong’s personal “unfounded worries”, and the family members must not have thought of these.

“What kind of house do you want to buy? The rooms at home are still not full?” Mama Xu complained, mainly because she was afraid that the family would live separately.

“Yes, my husband! The house can’t be eaten or drunk. Let’s keep the money safe. I don’t think this drought will end for a while.”

Yang Lina also expressed her objection. Although more houses are better, but the current environment must also be taken into consideration. There is no harm in keeping more money in hand.

“Ugh…”

Xu Dong put down the chopsticks in his hand and had to explain:

“What’s the use of saving money? Look at the current prices. If you keep this money in your hands, it will only depreciate day by day. Remember the panic buying last month. You may not be able to buy things if you have money in the future.”

Yang Lina thought about it for a while, and found that what her husband said was indeed reasonable, but she still had some concerns in her heart. After all, there are many children in the family, so she needs to be cautious in everything she does.

Xu Ma said directly: “The 10 million yuan cannot be used to buy a house, at least 3 million yuan should be kept for emergency.”

Yang Lina nodded quickly in agreement.

Xu Dong thought about it, 7 million is not too little, and can almost buy a smaller house, so he didn’t insist anymore:

“That’s fine. We’ll go to see the house together with our family on the weekend.”

…

The weekend is coming soon, except for Dad Xu, the whole family is ready to go.

The intermediary company has already made an appointment in advance, and it is the same intermediary that introduced the courtyard house before. After all, they have dealt with each other before and it is convenient to communicate.

Xu Dong brought the car directlyWhen we arrived at the door of the “Anjujia” business department, Mr. Wang and his assistant were already waiting beside him.

“President Wang, I’m going to disturb you again this time.” Xu Dong said politely.

There were children in the car, and no cigarettes were handed this time.

“How can it be considered an interruption, I hope that this kind of ‘interruption’ can come to my door every day.” Mr. Wang said humorously.

“Ha ha……”

Mr. Wang looked at Daben in front of him and praised: “Mr. Xu, your car is really spacious.”

“No way, there are too many people in the family, and there is no room for ordinary cars.”

Next, Xu Dong introduced his family members to Mr. Wang one by one.

Mr. Wang teased the triplets, and flattered Mrs. Xu: “Old lady, you are always blessed with so many grandchildren!”

“It’s true that you’re blessed, but it’s also a matter of worrying about your life.” Mama Xu said politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Wang sat in the passenger seat to guide the way.

As for the assistant girl, she sat next to Yang Lina and helped take care of the triplets by the way.

“Mr. Wang, which neighborhood shall we go to first?”

“Let’s go to the ‘Qingze Garden’ community, it’s closer to your courtyard.” Mr. Wang said.

Ten minutes later, Qingzeyuan community arrived. This is an old community with very good landscaping and low-rise buildings, basically five or seven floors.

The reserved house is on the third floor, with a total of 72 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room. The house is empty and the price is 6.5 million.

“Old lady, what do you think?”

Xu’s mother shook her head and said with disgust: “This house is too small, and the house is old, I don’t think it’s suitable.”

Xu Dong also had the same opinion. The area was too small for the whole family of nine to live in.

As for the greening, whether it can be kept in the future is still a matter of debate.

“Okay, then let’s go to the next community ‘Sanhe Homeland’, which is a bit far away, on the edge of the East Fifth Ring Road.” Mr. Wang introduced.

Housing prices in Yanjing are already high, and due to the impact of panic buying, the average price has reached more than 100,000 yuan, and the closer the houses are to the urban area, the higher the price will be.

The other party’s budget is only 7 million. If they want to buy a bigger house, they can only try their luck in areas outside the Fourth Ring Road.

Mama Xu and Lina Yang felt a little far away, but Xu Dong insisted on going to see it first.

In the future, Yanjing will definitely expand towards the sea. The East Fifth Ring Road, which looks a bit remote now, has greater potential for future development than the West Third Ring Road.

In less than half an hour, Sanhe Homeland finally arrived. This time the community is relatively new, it should have been developed in recent years, and the surrounding environment is not bad.

The house to be seen this time was on the thirteenth floor. Everyone knocked on the door and entered. The owner of the house didn’t expect so many people to come, and was a little dazed for a while.

“Excuse me.” Xu Dong handed him a cigarette.

The homeowner took it over and said, “You’re welcome.”

The house has nothing to look at, a total of 135 square meters, four bedrooms and one living room, fine decoration, all home appliances are included.

Xu Dong was very satisfied after seeing it, and discussed the price with the homeowner on the spot.

“Mr. Cai, let’s not waste time. The price is 6.5 million, and I can pay the full amount in one lump sum.”

It was probably the first time that the homeowner met such a real buyer. He didn’t give an answer directly, but gave Mr. Wang a wink, and the two walked outside the door and began to discuss.

“Mr. Cai, don’t worry, Mr. Xu definitely has the financial strength. Last year, he was also on my side and bought a courtyard house worth 100 million yuan.” Mr. Wang said straight to the point.

The homeowner hesitated and said, “A sudden reduction of 800,000 yuan is a bit much.”

“But Mr. Xu is willing to pay the full amount!”

This is where homeowners struggle.

Mr. Cai’s hometown is in Zhejiang. After graduation, he stayed in Yanjing to start a business. His career was considered a little success. Later, he simply settled his family here.

It’s a pity that the general environment is not good this year, and his catering company has also encountered difficulties, and it went bankrupt last month.

In fact, half of the money from selling the house will be used to repay the bank loan.

Of course, he himself hopes to pay off the loan early, and then return to his hometown as soon as possible with the remaining money. His parents also encountered a lot of trouble.

“6.8 million, do you think Mr. Xu will agree?” asked the homeowner.

Mr. Wang shook his head: “It’s probably difficult, and I won’t hide it from you. Mr. Xu’s mother and wife are not very satisfied with the environment here. They think it’s too biased. Mr. Xu insisted on coming to see it.”

Thinking of the expression on the old lady’s face just now, the homeowner lost his composure in an instant. The other party seemed a little unhappy, and he didn’t say much after entering the room, keeping a straight face the whole time.
