Chapter 21 House Viewing Chapter 21 House Viewing

Judging from their attire and temperament, they don't look like businessmen, so they must be farmers at home.

Lin Guoan nodded and asked, "Do you know of any stores for rent nearby?"

"What? You want to open a store?" The vendor was a little surprised. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
Thinking about this, he said, "What kind of business are you going to do? There was no store planning around here from the beginning, and now many people want to open a store but can't. To be honest, many people have asked me about this!

If you are asking about a store, I can definitely tell you there is none, but if you are asking about buying a house, I would know something about it.”

"Is there anyone selling a house?" Lin Liqing asked in surprise.

The vendor nodded, sat down and said, "Aren't there many people around here who are factory workers? Now the factory is distributing houses, and if one person gets promoted, everyone else will benefit. Who would want to live in their own shabby yard when they can live in a building?

Uncle Li who lives upstairs from me has three promising sons. One is a regular worker in the sugar factory, one is a regular worker in the auto repair factory, and the other is a chef in the sugar factory. The wives they married are also regular workers in several factories. They can get a house for three rooms, and the factory stipulates that it is distributed based on the number of people. Whoever has a larger family can get a larger house. Uncle Li and his wife have become the object of competition among their three sons!
But there is a criterion for housing allocation, that is, they don’t have a house in the city. They just happen to have a yard nearby, so they have to sell it! There are many people in their situation, so if you want to buy a house, I can recommend one to you, but buying a store is not an option for you!"

Hearing this, Lin Liqing looked at Lin Guoan and asked, "Are there any houses along the street for sale?"

"Yes!" The vendor said without hesitation, "If you want to buy, I can take you to those families, but you have to wait until I close my stall."

Lin Liqing and her brother agreed.

My eldest brother was making breakfast and was ready to close the stall at around ten o'clock.

After closing the stall, he handed the things directly to his wife and took Lin Liqing and others to the homes of their neighbors along the street.

Lin Liqing frowned slightly when she knocked on the first door. This house was as small as a bird's nest. There was no yard, only a small door. Even a fat person like her had to crawl in sideways. The door was in a corner of the house. Inside was a long dark passage with a room separated on the side. Going inside was the hall. The hall was very small, and they were almost crowded when they entered. At the very edge was a wooden ladder leading to the second floor.

Looking up at the ceiling, you can see that the second floor is paved with wooden boards and is supported by these beams. Based on the layout of the first floor, I guess there should be two rooms upstairs.

There is a small door in the other corner of the hall leading to the backyard. The so-called backyard may be less than six square meters. There is a shed built and a coal stove under the shed for cooking. This should be the kitchen.

The whole house has two floors. The first floor is dimly lit, giving people a very depressing feeling.

The vendor who brought them here was called Huang Jianbing. He was related to the owner of the house, and the two started greeting each other as soon as they entered the door.
