Chapter 255 Buying a Siheyuan
There are many people in the capital, and more people come here on business, so the rooms in the guest house are naturally tight.

As a result, it will be impossible to provide excellent accommodation conditions for the cadres and workers of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory.

The same is true.

When Xu Jichang took a look at the room arranged for him in the factory, he immediately rejected the option of staying in a guest house.

Three people live in a house and share the bathroom on the first floor.

Compared with his small courtyard in the county town, this condition was completely different.

Xu Jichang hurriedly left the guest house and found Su Jingshu's home according to the address in his memory.

Knocking on the door of Su Jingshu's house, Xu Jichang saw her unusually delicate and surprised face.

"come on in."

Su Jingshu adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her face, opened the door to Xu Jichang and said, "Are you on a business trip to the capital?"

"No, the unit is coming to Beijing."

Xu Jichang said as he entered the door, "From now on, I will stay in the capital."

Will you live in the capital from now on?
Su Jingshu opened her mouth slightly, feeling a little dizzy: The day she thought about day and night has finally arrived?
Xu Jichang and Su Jingshu sat down on the leather sofa in the living room together. Before she could react, he explained his purpose: "I don't have a place to stay here."

"I want to ask you if there is anyone you know who wants to sell a house?"

Xu Jichang's living needs cannot be met by one or two bungalows.If he wants to buy, he will buy a big yard.

Only Su Jingshu and Du Xiaojing can know the sales information of such high-end properties.

Du Xiaojing was placed on the second batch of lists to enter Beijing, and it would take a few days before he could arrive.

Xu Jichang couldn't wait any longer, so he came directly to ask Su Jingshu.

"Are you buying a house? Let me think about it."

Su Jingshu put her hand on her forehead, and after thinking about it for a while, the answer came to her mind, "I know a family who wants to sell the house in their hands."

"The location is in Haiding District, within the Third Ring Road. The family is the director of a research institute, and the old man in the family is about to be transferred to Shanghai."

"Their house is quite special. It is a private house, not a public house allocated by the employer, so it can be sold."

This hit Xu Jichang's fancy: "Haiding District? That's just right."

"Oh. You will also work in Haidian in the future, right?"

"Well, how big is that house?"

"The size of Sanjin's courtyard is quite good. I didn't ask for a quote."

"If you're interested, I'll call and ask which one right now?"

"Why don't you lead me directly to them. Just ask them face to face."

"Okay. When are you free to come over?"

"Right now."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he stood up, followed by Su Jingshu.

"You've grown taller."

The moment she stood up, Su Jingshu made a new discovery, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"No way, the nutrition is too good."

Xu Jichang smiled, "You are still so young."

"Just your sweet mouth."

Su Jingshu was embarrassed by the praise, and turned her face slightly to avoid it, "There is no one who does not age forever."

"Really. It should be because you have good genes and take good care of yourself."

Xu Jichang gently pinched Su Jingshu's flawless face and held her hand.

"Pfft, nothing formal."

Su Jingshu scolded, but did not pull her hand away.

The two walked out of the door holding hands, and naturally let go of their hands when they reached the door.

The house Su Jingshu mentioned was not far from the teacher's building where she lived, and it only took 15 minutes for the two of them to get there by bus.

The West Third Ring Road of Beijing, a place where housing prices in later generations were as high as 10,000+ or ​​20, is still dominated by various tube buildings and courtyards, with few high-rise buildings.

The units located here are basically universities and research institutes, there are not many party and government agencies, and there are not many factories.

Su Jingshu led Xu Jichang along the road and finally stopped in front of a slightly old courtyard.

"That's it. The landlord's surname is Liu, just call him Dean Liu."

Su Jingshu stood in front of the door and whispered to Xu Jichang, then knocked on the courtyard door, "Dean Liu, I will bring someone to see your house."

There was a rustling sound inside the door, followed by an old voice: "Oh, Teacher Su, I'm here."

Immediately afterwards, the courtyard door creaked open, and the homeowner, who was nearly sixty years old, appeared behind the door and invited the two of them into the courtyard.

"Hello, little comrade."

The homeowner adjusted his glasses and greeted Xu Jichang in a hoarse voice, "It's your family who wants to buy a house, right?"

"No, it's me."

Xu Jichang shook his head and said, "As for whether to buy it or not, you have to see it first before deciding."

The homeowner was surprised after hearing this: The price of this yard is not low.

Can a young boy like him be the head of the family?
Surprised, the landlord didn't say anything after all, to avoid offending Xu Jichang and ruining the transaction.

"This house was built by my old man in 1927. It cost more than 700 yuan in total."

Not only must they not be offended, but they must also patiently introduce the history of this house to Xu Jichang, "There are three rooms in total and seven rooms. There are kitchens, bathrooms and everything."

"As for the quality of the house, I don't need to tell you that you have seen it..."

The landlord said on the side, Xu Jichang slowly walked around and looked at it without making any comments.

It wasn't until he finished looking at the house that he turned to look at Dean Liu: "What's the price?"

"7000 yuan. If you don't mind the furniture, you can keep all the furniture."

Dean Liu said, "Don't be too expensive. This is the market for houses in the capital right now..."

"Okay, it's a deal. We can sign the contract now."

Contrary to his expectations, Xu Jichang agreed happily.

Even in an era when the purchasing power of money is extremely strong, it is not a problem for this group of three-entry courtyards to sell for [-] yuan.

The other party only asked for a price of [-], which showed that he really wanted to sell.

Xu Jichang didn't bother to bargain aggressively anymore, because he probably wouldn't be able to cut the price if he really did.

Dean Liu didn't expect Xu Jichang to be so happy. He was stunned for a moment and quickly excused himself. He turned around and went into the bedroom to get the written deed that he had already prepared.

Xu Jichang was introduced by Su Jingshu, so Dean Liu trusted him so much.

Without this factor, Dean Liu would have suspected that the other party was trying to swindle him or was committing some kind of deception.

It's a deal worth tens of thousands, so I agreed so happily.

Where did this young man get so much money?

Soon, both parties signed the contract, and Xu Jichang took the other party to the bank to withdraw money, and handed the large bundle filled with a cloth bag into the other party's hands: "Count it, if there is no problem, go to the street office and get the certificate."

Unlike later generations who went to the housing and construction department to handle transfer of ownership, these days it is all done at the street level.

Because information transportation is not convenient at present, let alone the Internet.As the grassroots sub-district office, it has a better understanding of the actual situation in its jurisdiction and is more suitable to assume this responsibility.

Dean Liu picked up the bag, took out the money, put it on the ground and counted it. After confirming that it was a total of [-] pieces, he put it back and went to the street office with Xu Jichang.

When he arrived at the subdistrict office and explained his intention, the staff issued Xu Jichang a certificate with an official seal, indicating that the house became his.

There is currently no real estate certificate, only housing certificates and land files.When the real estate certificate appears later in the country, you can use the certificate issued by the subdistrict office as a basis to renew the real estate certificate.

The transaction was over. Xu Jichang invited Su Jingshu to a roast duck restaurant, then returned to the guest house and moved all his luggage over.

In fact, Xu Jichang only carried part of the luggage with him, and most of the luggage would be mailed by Lan Qimei later.

He doesn't want to buy the Liu family's old furniture. He thinks the style is old and plans to buy a new set.

It's just that Xu Jichang doesn't have a wide network of contacts in the capital yet, and he doesn't want to bother Su Jingshu. He can only contact and purchase through people he knows in the factory.

The factory has just moved to the capital, and it's the beginning of everything. Xu Jichang can't add tasks to others, so he has to make do with these old furniture for now.

……

The next morning, Xu Jichang got up and went to the new address of the unit to move things with everyone.

The new site of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory is located next to Beijing Metro Line [-], which is a very advantageous location.

Speaking of which, Beijing is the first city in the country to open a subway. The lines have been in operation for several years. In 72, the requirement that tickets must be purchased with certificates was abolished.

Xu Jichang takes the subway to work in the morning. He feels that there are far fewer subway passengers in this era than in later generations.

Even during the morning rush hour, the subway cars are very empty.

Probably because everyone is very frugal and reluctant to pay for tickets.

Compared with later generations, the subway at this time was a little bumpier.Because Beijing Line [-] was built for war preparations, passenger experience was not the primary consideration during design and construction.

After arriving at the terminal and walking out of the subway station, Xu Jichang faced the sunshine and took in his eyes the new building of his unit.

Compared with the county seat, the new address of my unit is much smaller in size.

The production workshop has not caught up, and the factory offices will not occupy much space after all.

Office conditions are much better.When it was in the county town, the office buildings of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory were all small red brick buildings. After moving to the capital, the exterior facades were all made of stone, making them look much more upscale.

Xu Jichang walked along the curb to the gate of the unit, handed over his ID to the newly recruited security officer, and entered the factory after verification.

As they walked, Xu Jichang had strange thoughts in his mind.

Director Gao’s layout... I really don’t have much to say.

First, the unit was operated from a provincial enterprise to a secondary company of a central enterprise, and then moved to the capital with the status of a central enterprise.

One step after another in an orderly manner, there are probably not many people in the world who can complete such operations.

When he walked to the office building, Xu Jichang did not go to the new office of the dealership immediately. Instead, he went to the factory director's office to report.

Factory Director Gao's new office is located on the top floor of a five-story building, and the area is smaller than in the county town.

Xu Jichang knocked on the oak door of his office. The person who opened the door for him was the secretary of the factory director.

Inside the door, Director Gao was sitting behind the table, looking at the documents seriously.

"Hi, manager."

Xu Jichang walked to the desk and said hello.

"Good morning, you're here so early."

Director Gao put down the document and pointed forward, "Sit down, I'm waiting for you to come over and assign tasks to you."

"You will lead a few people later to move office supplies to the warehouse below. Every item in the office is labeled, so you just carry the bags in."

"The specific arrangement of office supplies is left to each department."

"Good leader, is there anything else you want to do?"

"No more. You go."

After the conversation ended, Xu Jichang took the orders of factory director Gao and selected several strong and strong people from the cadres and workers who arrived one after another. They went to the underground warehouse with him and moved out the furniture bag by bag.

There is quite a lot of furniture, and the weight is even heavier.

Fortunately, people started to join them one after another, and the furniture was finished moving before noon.

Xu Jichang moved his aching arms and prepared to find a place to have a meal outside: the new canteen staff had not yet arrived, so everything had to be done outside.

"Jichang, are you going to eat?"

Just as he walked to the factory gate, Ding Xiawei's bright and charming voice came from behind.

Xu Jichang turned around and saw Ding Xiawei walking towards him wearing a small white floral midi skirt, with an extremely graceful figure.

"Let's eat together."

Xu Jichang said to Ding Xiawei without even thinking about it.

He and Ding Xiawei were from the same production team, and everyone knew that Ding Xiawei introduced him to the factory.Therefore, the two of them can get closer in public without worrying about others being suspicious.

"It is said that Quanjude roast duck in the capital is famous. Shall we go and try it?"

Ding Xiawei walked to his side and suggested.

Xu Jichang smelled a scent from Ding Xiawei and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll treat you."

When he was in the county town, his first woman was Ding Xiawei.

Now that she arrived in the capital, she was the first to interact with him.I have to say, this life is really a bit strange.

The two took the subway to a branch in Quanjude and ordered a roast duck for two yuan.

After a while, the waiter brought the roast duck.

Thinly sliced ​​roast duck meat, plus green shredded cucumbers, and fragrant pancakes really whet your appetite.

Xu Jichang and Ding Xiawei wrapped roast duck meat in flour pancakes and ate it while chatting about their life after arriving in Beijing.

"You lesbians also have three people sharing a room?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"Yes."

Ding Xiawei held the pancake in her hand and used chopsticks to put roast duck meat into it. She shook her head helplessly and said, "There's nothing you can do if it's too crowded. Newcomers can only make do with it."

"I bought a courtyard. It's quite big."

Xu Jichang looked at her and said.

Bought a yard?Or in the capital?
Where did he get the money?Even if you do mountain goods trading, you can't earn so much.

This was Ding Xiawei's first thought.

"How big is it?"

she asked with strong curiosity.

"What, you want to come and live here?"

Xu Jichang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ding Xiawei suddenly looked embarrassed: "Don't. If people know this, I will no longer be a human being."

"This is the capital city, not like a county town. It's big."

"If you don't tell, who will know?"

Uh.

It seems that this is really the case.

Ding Xiawei was a little tempted by Xu Jichang's words, but in the end she was very coy.

After thinking for a long time, she still shook her head: "No. You have Du Xiaojing. It's not good for her to know."

"It's okay, she can accept it."

Xu Jichang said another sentence that made Ding Xiawei even more shocked.
