Chapter 1599 - 1061: Heroine of the Republic 35
Ten days, half a month has passed, yet she still hasn’t been able to find out who has a house to sell.
However, she did find out about the housing price in this area, using New Coins, fifty to one hundred can buy a space of ten to twenty square meters.
If it’s a whole small courtyard house or bungalow, it would be at least three hundred to five hundred.
Converted to the current old coins, you’d have to add four more zeros.
With her current financial strength, it is absolutely sufficient; the key is that she has money but no house, everyone wants to buy a house to expand space, but in a situation where everyone relies on unit housing, you simply can’t buy one.
In the new school, she is not considered a temporary worker, but rather like a specially invited temporary teacher, charged per class, without participating in the unit’s various welfare benefits, just an hourly fee, nothing else.
Want to find a piece of land to build yourself? That’s even more impossible. Since it’s been a while with no prospect, simply better to live in the countryside.
At worse, suffer a bit from the commute back and forth; in later times, there were still people who commuted from Tianjin and Hebei to Beijing to work!
What is this considered? In comparison, isn’t it just about an hour of the journey? If really driving or something, it might just be ten minutes or so, really not far.
Just like that, An Yi began her teaching journey, if one day she comes across a good opportunity at noon, she could take her sisters to a restaurant.
Although the restaurants are all developing towards public-private partnerships now, it doesn’t yet affect her eating, the real impact on eating is after the issuance of food stamps.
By the end of August next year, food stamps will be almost popular nationwide, this is what traditional unified purchase and sale means.
Even though she and her sisters are in one school, she has to rush to the high school, so the chances and times they meet are limited.
Yet she inquired from teachers about her sisters’ study situations, they belong to the diligent and hardworking kind, talents or not, have already lost the advantage of age, but if they keep up this pace, they can enter high school.
If they can go to high school, then why bother with night school?
Their current living expenses come from her, it’s still good this year, next year’s first half is not a problem, but if by the second half when food stamps begin to be issued, eating at school will also require food stamps, where can she manage so many food stamps?
Therefore, cooking herself becomes especially important.
When everyone needs food stamps to get by, exchanging grains for food stamps is too wasteful, so before this, she needs to find a house, as long as there’s a place to shelter from wind and rain, she can’t afford to ask for more.
Early September, at the high school department, an elderly professor intended to sell a room in his small yard to treat his only son.
An Yi heard this news in the office, she was initially delighted, but later realized they were treating illness, how could she be happy?
Low profile, low profile.
Yet one couldn’t help but inquire about the price, the old professor lived in the County No. 1 High School staff compound, all are bungalows here.
Perhaps because the old professor held certain level, so his home counts as courtyard bungalows, two rooms in the hall, one for guests, one for living, two side rooms on the left, one kitchen and one storage room on the right, very traditional architectural structure.
This household also possesses a yard, though not spacious, but at least the vegetables grown are enough for the whole family.
The old man has two sons, the younger one is ill, the old couple live in the hall, the two sons each live with their child in the left wing room, one family per room, and the room they plan to sell is next to the kitchen, the storage room. Although called a storage room, initially it was built using bricks and tiles, their daughter lived here before getting married, occasionally returning, still managing inside.
The younger son has kidney disease, chronic illness, the asking price for that room is quite reasonable, New Coins eighty yuan, old coins 800,000.
The room has already been tidied up, just needs the walls painted, independent wiring for water and electricity, and moving right in is possible, though windows and doors are a bit shabby, if truly moving in, just breaking down the old ones and replacing with new would do.
The price isn’t really the issue, being able to buy it is not easy, what is she hesitating about?
The old professor’s identity, though not involved foreign matters, but he knows many people, what if someday her innocent buyer identity gets implicated?
What if they follow through and ask her where the money to buy the house came from, how does she explain?
