Becoming a top student in the literature of the era

Chapter 74

There were no real estate speculators in this era, and there were no developers of later generations. The houses in the county were either self-built houses or old houses in family homes.

If you want to buy a house at this time, it is not as convenient as in later generations. If you want to buy a house, you can search everywhere by yourself.

Moreover, buying and selling is strictly prohibited. Only workers from large factories or school teachers can buy houses in the county because of their work needs.

Yang Ci and Yang Jiayou traveled around the county for several days, and finally found several families who wanted to sell their houses with the help of Tian Jiaojiao's mother's family.

At first they were reluctant to sell the house to Yang Ci, fearing that selling it to a countryman would cause other troubles. Later they found out that Yang Ci came to school and got first place in the county. Only after the commune issued relevant certificates for Yang Ci did they be willing to sell the house to Yang Ci.

Because I want a house close to the school, the location of the house cannot be too remote. So after picking and choosing, they ended up with only two houses that were pretty good.

One of the two houses is a Tongzi building by the roadside, and the other is a family compound where many people live in the same courtyard.

Tongzilou is relatively close to the County No. 1 Middle School. It is a small two-bedroom apartment with only two bedrooms and one living room.

Cooking, laundry, toilets, and bathing are all in the corridors of each floor. There are seven or eight families living on one floor.

Then seven or eight households share the same kitchen and toilet, which is generally very inconvenient to live in.

Moreover, the corridors of Tongzilou are extremely narrow, and every household’s coal stove is placed at the door. The stove is simply made of a few bricks, and a wooden board is placed on it to serve as a chopping board. There are still briquettes piled under the chopping board, and sometimes I have to worry about the briquettes being stolen.

The other family home is larger, with three bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The location is a little further away than the previous one, but the house is relatively spacious and has a separate bathroom, so the privacy is relatively better.

However, this house is a bit expensive, because most of the houses in most counties are Tongzilou, and the houses are small two-bedroom or one-bedroom. Family homes like this are mostly used by cadres, so they are a bit expensive to sell.

Because Yang Ci wanted to take his sister to study together, and the girl used the bathroom with everyone on the floor, Yang Ci felt uneasy no matter how she looked at it.

Yang Ci is really no longer a villain. Yang Menglian is much prettier now than before. Everyone who lives in the village is an acquaintance and they dare not do anything. But if you live in a county town and are unfamiliar with the place, this may not necessarily be the case.

Therefore, compared to the previous one, Yang Ci prefers the latter one. Even if the house at the back is very expensive, he can't afford it even if he drains his small coffers.

But Yang Ci still wanted to buy this house. The worst he could do was borrow some money from his brother and sister first, and then he would find a way to pay it back when he bought the house.

In the end, Liu Xianmei paid for the house. Since Yang Ci was not yet an adult, even if the house was bought, it would be in her name. She was not worried about her youngest son messing around in the future. So I took out the money I had saved for many years and regarded it as an investment for Yang Ci's future.
