Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 480: Only selling, not renting
The Lu family was still so lively the next day.

There is an endless stream of people coming to pay New Year greetings.

The first ones to pay New Year greetings are the children.

Not only did they kowtow to pay New Year greetings at home and receive red envelopes, they also organized groups to go to pay New Year greetings.

Kowtow from house to house.

Little red envelopes filled my pockets.

After ten o'clock, more people came.

The people who came to the separate venue all brought their children.

Red envelopes are indispensable.

In the afternoon, Li Zhenguo came.

In the past, it was Lu Changhua who went to his home to pay New Year greetings.

Now it's the other way around.

Li Zhenguo came to Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings.

No one who pays New Year greetings is empty-handed.

Adults give gifts such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea.

This is the first day of the new year.

As soon as it was the second day of junior high school, Lu Changzhong and his wife took their children away.

They have to go to Zhao Huaian's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Like Dahong Erhong, Zhang Laowu, Zhang Laoliu, some people from Beining will also come to Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Niao Yanyan and Wu Xia from Harbin came to pay New Year greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

These days, the Lu family can't stop calming down.

While Lu Changhua and Wang Yao were busy socializing, Han Yinglai called them over for dinner.

This is the first time Han Ying has called them to eat.

Of course I have to give this face.

There were only the old couple of the Han family and Han Ying in the room.

Zhao Ya had already gone to play with Nuomi and the others.

"Why are you so polite?"

Lu Changhua asked carelessly as soon as he entered the door.

"It's just home-cooked food. Why, you don't feel comfortable eating my food?"

After more than a year of adjustment, Han Ying's mentality has changed a lot.

His tone of voice changed back to what it was before.

As soon as he heard what she said, Lu Changhua was very happy.

"Don't tell me, I haven't eaten much of your food."

"Sister Wang Yao, serve it quickly."

Han Ying pulled Wang Yao to sit down.

"Hey, let me go to the kitchen and help out."

"No, no, it's all done, just serve it."

Mother Han said with a smile.

Over the years, the Han family has also celebrated the New Year at the Lu family. Counting on the fingers, it has been several years since they have cooked a New Year's Eve dinner.

Several people sat around the table.

Han Jianhua poured him wine.

Lu Changhua covered his wine glass. He had not recovered from drinking in the past few days.

But the old man still poured him a drink.

Han Ying raised her glass and said: "Changhua, Sister Wang Yao. This time, you have to worry about your children going to school."

"Yes, yes, Changhua and Wang Yao are always looking for people."

Aunt Han also said.

"At this time, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of hands."

After drinking the glass of wine, Han Ying said again: "I plan to let my parents go to Beining to take care of the children. Your children will also go to school in the second half of the year, and we will have to take care of each other then."

"Yes. Nuomi will enter school in September."

Wang Yao said.

"This municipal primary school is behind the municipal government. It's best to rent a house nearby, otherwise it will be a hassle to pick up and drop off there."

Lu Changhua reminded.

"Yes, that's what we plan to do. I don't know if I can rent a suitable one after the year."

Han Ying was a little worried.

"This is how I look at it. It's best to rent it if you can. If you can't rent it, you can only rent the nearest house. Anyway, I just need to go there."

Han Jianhua patted his chest and said.

"Yes, for the sake of the child, you two have suffered too."

Lu Changhua couldn't help with this matter.

Why do you say that?

Think about it, there are too many people who want to enter the municipal primary school, and almost all the available houses around it have been rented out.

It can be said that everyone is queuing up.

Unless you rent it in advance.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the problem of temporarily renting a house now.

"Actually, it's not just you who are worried about this, we are too!"

Wang Yao put down her chopsticks and said.

"Your children, my children, and Hu Dagui's children all need a house in the past two years."

Wang Yao said.

When Lu Changhua thought about it, this was really the case.

No house is enough.

"My wife is right. Not only your family needs it, but all three families need it."

"I think we have to check the situation after the new year. If it doesn't work, we will sublet it at a high price."

"Release at a high price? Do you mean to rent it from someone else?"

Han Ying's eyes lit up.

"That's the only way. I can guess that houses must be in short supply. We can only spend money on them."

"That's a way."

Wang Yao nodded and approved this method.

Han Ying frowned.

"If the price is too high, we..."

"Leave it alone."

Wang Yao looked at Lu Changhua and said, "Since all three of our families need it, I think we might as well do this."

She pondered for a moment and said: "We'd better rent a big house. The children will live here in the future. The parents take turns taking care of them, or directly ask a nanny to take care of them. What do you think?"

"That's a good way."

Lu Changhua agreed.

He looked at Han Ying and asked, "What do you think?"

"Well, of course that's fine."

Aunt Han said: "Isn't that a dormitory?"

"What's wrong with dormitories?"

Han Jianhua said: "It's easier to manage this way. Each family has someone to take care of them for a period of time, so why do they need a nanny?"

Several people studied it for a while, and they all thought that this collective dormitory method was good.

It doesn’t work if you don’t do this now. If you don’t have a house, it’s useless if you have money.

Isn't it great that three children can live in one house?
"Okay, leave this matter to me, Han Ying, don't worry."

"You're not going back for the time being, are you?"

Wang Yao asked.

"I have to go back in a few days, but the child will stay here." "Will you come back when school starts?"

"Yes. I'll be back at the end of February."

When they got home, Lu Changhua and Wang Yao talked about renting a house.

Lao Lu and Mother Lu also think it is feasible.

“I just don’t know how much this house is?”

Mother Lu is a little worried about money.

"It's okay, money doesn't matter. As long as you have a house."

Old Lu could see it.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Lu Changhua followed Wang Yao to Beining.

His main task is to inquire about the houses around the school.

The result was exactly as he predicted.

There are no rentals at all.

Lu Changhua walked around the school several times, but there was not even a shadow of a ghost.

It seems that all the houses in this circle have been rented by parents of students.

It's not the start of school yet, so neither students nor parents have come back.

Now, Lu Changhua was a little anxious.

If you wait until the end of February, when freshmen are admitted, the supply of housing will be even tighter.

She patted her chest in front of Han Ying.

If you haven't rented a house when school starts, it won't just be embarrassing, but your original plans will have to change.

Although it is not impossible to rent an apartment further away.

But being close and allowing the child to sleep for 10 more minutes is good.

No, no matter what, we have to find it.

He walked around here all day and found nothing.

After talking to Wang Yao on the phone and asking her to go back to the farm to be with her children, Lu Changhua lived in Beigang.

I won’t go back until I find a house.

This determination was not ordinary.

The next day and the third day, there was still no house for rent.

Strangely, there is no real estate agent in this area.

He was puzzled.

As I walked outside, I saw a small front door.

This is exactly what a housing agency is.

As soon as I entered the door, there was an old man sitting inside.

"Uncle, I want to ask you something."

The old man looked at him curiously.

"Are there any houses for rent near the municipal primary school?"

"No."

The answer was clean and neat.

"what happened?"

"Haha, it seems you are not from Beining!"

"Uh."

Lu Changhua didn't argue.

"The municipal primary school is a key primary school, and the surrounding houses are very popular. Why use an agent? They rented it out as soon as they introduced each other, and we have no housing at all."

Hearing what the old man said, Lu Changhua felt a chill in his heart.

By now, he knows how the child's parents feel.

This is the feeling of being rich and useless, a feeling of powerlessness.

"However, there is one apartment that is not for rent."

"What do you mean?"

"They are for sale."

"For sale? Can I see the house?"

"Yes, but the price is very high. Let me ask you first if you can accept it."

"how much is it?"

"Forty square meters, top floor. Asking price is 20."

"How many?"

"20."

Lu Changhua took a breath of cold air.

This price is a bit outrageous.

Nowadays, a house in Beining only costs about a thousand yuan.Even though this is a room in a school district and close to the school, this is too outrageous.

"I also know that the price is outrageous, that's why no one buys this apartment. Isn't it still here today?"

The old man said with a frown.

In his opinion, the price is ten times that of an ordinary building. Who would buy this house after being taken advantage of?
He also had no hope.

"Look at the house first."

Seeing that Lu Changhua still wanted to see the house, the old man became a little interested.

He took out a key from the drawer.

"Let's go and have a look."

This is an old building with brick and concrete structure, painted with white dust.

There are seven floors in total. This is a south-facing room on the seventh floor.

Once inside, there is a small wooden table in the living room.

The walls of a bedroom are covered with children's drawings and graffiti.

There is a small kitchen and a pit toilet.

The area of ​​the toilet is probably less than two square meters.

The kitchen window was covered in grease.

There were several old bowls on the windowsill.

Such a shabby house is asking for 20 yuan. Is the owner crazy for money?

"I also know that this house is not worth the price. But this is what the owner wants."

"Well, I have 20, so renting a house further away is enough. It's not cost-effective."

Lu Changhua shook his head and walked around again.

Looking out the window of the living room, it turned out to be the playground of the municipal primary school.

"But, this house is really close to the school. It's really convenient for my children to go to school."

The old man spoke in native dialect and glanced at Lu Changhua secretly.

"Forget it, this house is really not worth it. I'll look elsewhere."

Lu Changhua turned around and went downstairs.

The old man locked the door and chased after him.

"Hey, let me tell you, do you need me to negotiate the price for you?"

"What's the point? Even if the price is reduced by half, it's not worth it. It's boring."

"Look at what you said. Isn't it worth half the price?!"

The old man blinked.

"If you really want it, how about I ask you the price?"

"Uncle, we are all working-class people. It is not easy to make some money. Look, who is buying a house? They are all renting a house. This family is good, it only sells but does not rent. Then let him let it go. I see, there is no house. People should be treated as such big grievances!”

"What are you talking about? If it's for sale, buy it. As long as you sincerely want it, I'll negotiate the price."

Lu Changhua glanced at him.

"Then let's talk."
