Chapter 78: Keeping Money (10)

(13) Beijing housewives who love tossing

Xiaoxin is the most tossed woman I have ever seen.

She glanced at the two-bedroom apartment I was going to rent and said: That's it, just sign the contract at the lowest price you quote to the agent!

I said: Is it a family of three, let your husband see it and then decide?

I have the final say, he won't come back until a week, can you promise not to rent to others?

You don't expect me to add any appliances or renovate my house, I said.

No problem, she said, like a cheerful person.

But after staying for less than a week, she asked for a terrace. I said I just like to be open. Don't you like that too?

It turned out that she didn't feel safe because her neighbor could come over from the terrace. It's good to say that I must install a guardrail, and I don't like the blinds in my house to install curtains. After a month, the weather was too hot for two air conditioners to ask for another one.

In less than half a year, there was a subway near her parents' house, and she had to break the contract and move back in.

In fact, she has three or four suites herself, all of which are second-hand, and she has a cheap one-bedroom in front of others who are in urgent need of cash, and the lot is rented out. If you live by yourself, you can't look down on it, and you must rent a clean new house in a high-end community to live. At most, it's too dirty to live in for a year!

She graduated from high school on behalf of her mother into Shougang, according to her parents are ordinary workers in Shougang, they have been saving money to buy a house all their lives, the two of them have to pick up waste by the way, in 1994 with 2,000 yuan from selling waste products for many years to buy a bungalow, more than 10 years after demolition and relocation of more than 500,000 yuan!

Later, her parents sold all the small houses and replaced them with a four-storey three-unit building in Liujiayao, and then it was connected to the subway station. Think about it, taking advantage of the Olympics, 24 suites!

Xiaoxin is the true inheritance of her parents, she said: I want to go to college like you, I would have lived in a villa a long time ago! She also chose a villa outside the East Fifth Ring Road to recommend to me, saying that it is a commercial property right, and it will be the intersection of light rail and subway in the future.

Looking at the guards and green curtains left by Xiaoxin, I often sigh: Beijingers are really capable, high school housewives will buy a copy of the People's Daily when they go home and bring it back to read, I haven't read the People's Daily for a long time!
