Li He brought along He Fang, the two of them washed their faces and combed their hair, looking refreshed. Locking the door, they went out for a stroll around the city. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

All the way to the Ditan Temple Fair.
As one of the four old fairs, the Ditan Temple Fair had flourished again in recent years. It was different from the other temple fairs, this place was dominated by stalls, noisy and crowded. When Li He just entered, he found a stall selling candied haws, and bought a skewer for He Fang. They ate as they strolled around the temple fair.
Gazing at the shops along the street, the lush green and red floral cloth, the fashionable clothes, some young ladies and young wives could not move a single step.
Those simple and honest young ladies, timidly pinching the few meagre coins in the corner of their pockets, pretending to comb their messy bangs and sideburns with their hands. Stopping their steps, they stared anxiously at the fashionable clothes hanging high up in the shop, imagining how they would look like if these fabrics were to be made into a coat, what would they look like when they wore it.
Most likely they had never worn such beautiful foreign cloth in their entire lives. Lowering their heads, they looked at their green coarse coat that had turned white from washing, and their patched shoes. Thinking of the empty vats at home, the young ladies sensibly lowered their heads and bit their lips, no longer looking at the floral cloth.
The young lad was looking forward to buying a new pair of leather shoes, to replace his ridiculed pair of thousand-layer leather soles.
The women in charge of the house were thinking the most, the earthen pot that had been used for over ten years had cracked, should they buy a new one, or find a tinkerer to continue using it?
The soap was long gone, should they grit their teeth and use their meagre wages to exchange for half a soap head?
That wooden comb was sold really cheaply, they really wanted to buy one for themselves … …
Just like that, people came and went in front of the roadside stalls along the way. Everyone asked for prices, and all kinds of voices mixed and clamored in the air above the temple fair. All kinds of smells mixed with the fragrance from the food stalls and spread in the air of the street.
Li He brought He Fang to eat the candied haws and dried persimmons. After they bought the sesame flaky pastry, they took a fancy to the steamed cakes. Nowadays, the portions of food were really big. Halfway through the shopping, they ate until their stomachs were full. He Fang looked at the steamed meatballs in sugar water, tofu and wild vegetable soup, which she had never tried before. Even Old Bei had a small appetite for them.
Along the way, Li He saw workers in overalls from time to time, chatting and laughing in groups of twos and threes.
The men and women walked on the road with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. They wore green and blue overalls with the factory logo printed on their chests and trousers of the same color and texture.
"Are you from the Second Textile Factory? I'm from a factory. "
"First Factory? I heard that you have two taels of meat every month? "
"That's right. It's not bad in Beijing."
"That's good. Our Second Textile Factory gives you two taels of sugar every month."
The young man and the young woman chatted, and their conversation attracted the envy of the people around them.
After passing through a few streets and two alleys, a big house suddenly appeared in front of Li He in an alley not far from the main street!
Li He could not help but be tempted. This was the location of the city center.
"Big sister, do you know which house is selling around here?" Li He casually asked the middle-aged woman next to him.
The woman looked at He Fang and smiled meaningfully. "Young man, are you in a hurry to get married? Which unit is it? The unit must solve the problem for you after you get married! If they don't agree, then go and make a fuss. Even if they give you a house, don't think it's too small. Wait for a few years and give birth to a few more children, then you can apply for a bigger house. [Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net w

Everyone knew that the men in the capital were good at talking and were famous. The big sisters in the capital either did not speak, or once they started a topic, they would definitely become a chatterbox. The world was cold and humorous. There was no chance for you to interrupt them.
Li He quickly interrupted. "Big sister, I am in a hurry to buy my own house."
"You don't want the house given by the unit for free? You want to buy it yourself?" The big sister asked curiously. Her eyes inadvertently glanced at He Fang's stomach.
Li He quickly brought He Fang away. He refused to go into the crowd of women and specifically asked the old man.
"Master, does anyone have a house for sale?"
The old man rolled up his sleeves. He was a man in his fifties. He was not tall, had a kind face, and wore a big black felt hat.
He was wearing a green cotton jacket. It was a little old, but it was clean and spotless. The exquisite buttons of the same color were neatly fastened. He pointed to a courtyard and asked. "Look at that courtyard. What do you think?"
Li He looked up. There were green tiles, white walls, and cornices. It was a typical Siheyuan building.
The two courtyards were uneven in height. In the morning mist, it looked like an ink painting. He could not help but exclaim, "What a beautiful house!"
"It was returned last year! But there are former tenants in it. Although I have the property certificate, I can't drive them away. "The old man sighed.
He Fang asked curiously, "Since it's your own house, why can't you make the decision?"
The old man sighed. "Before it was returned, the house was managed by the housing management bureau. A lot of people were arranged to live in it. Although I have the deed, the tenants can't be driven away."
Li He understood what the old man said. Although it was still private property, many people were forced to live in it, turning it into a large courtyard.
The tenants living in these properties were protected by the policy. Although the owners had property rights, the owners could not drive them away in any way. Only when they voluntarily moved out or found another house could they vacate the original house and return it to the owner. Moreover, during the time they lived in the house, they would only be paid with the fixed rent of the public rental house. With such a large area, the owner would definitely not be happy to only charge a dozen yuan a month.
But if someone lived in such a house, would he easily move out?
Even if you wanted to move out, you had to have a house to move to.
Most of the people living here are ordinary people. If you want to wait for them to save enough money to buy a house, then you can wait. You'd better make a will and let your grandson continue to wait. I'm afraid you and your son won't be able to see that day.
Li He was helpless. It seemed that buying a house was not an easy thing to do in this day and age.
Li He couldn't care so much now. He had to buy the property rights first.
Li He followed the old man around the courtyard. There were two entrances to the courtyard, but because it was blocked by the compact buildings around it, there was a stove on the street, and there were piles of junk in front of the door.
It was a mess, tightly squeezing this building, as if they wanted to compete with it for territory.
There were bungalows built at the back. A rough count showed that there were at least a dozen families living on the left and right.
Outside the door was a mess of junk and a metal stove, leaving only a meter-wide walkway for pedestrians to pass.
It was almost noon. Someone was cooking at the door. When she saw the old man coming in, she didn't greet him and lowered her head to fiddle with the stove. After he walked over, the woman spat fiercely behind the old man.
Li He saw that the old man's expression was calm, so he pretended not to see and walked around the woman.
"I live here too." The old man opened a room and fiddled with the wall for a while. He turned around and came out with a wooden enamel box.
"This is the deed of the house." The old man handed over a piece of paper.
Li He took it and looked at it carefully. The location and area of the room were all right. When he saw the red five stars on the official seal, he was completely relieved.
Just now, he was afraid that the old man would take out the invalid deed of the house to tease him again.
"Master Li, how much do you want to sell it for?"
Master Li smiled and said, "When my father bought it, he spent three thousand yuan."
He Fang had been following behind and didn't say anything. At this time, she interrupted, "Master, there are no good people living in this courtyard of yours."
Li He glanced at Old Man Lee. Old Man Lee smiled and said, "You little girl, can you wait for me to finish talking? Although my house looks messy now, who knows how the policy will change in the future. These messy people will be kicked out sooner or later. I'm getting old, so I want to buy a new house and live a quiet life. I can't stand this kind of torment anymore. "
Li He thought that the old man's words were right, so he didn't hide it, "Grandpa, name a price. If it's suitable, we'll go to do the transfer tomorrow."
Old Man Lee got close to Li He's ear and whispered, "2000 yuan! I want 2000 yuan! "
Li He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He pretended to hesitate for a long time and finally nodded solemnly, "Okay! I'll do as you say. 2000 yuan. "
"Can you really afford it?" Old Lady Li was surprised.
Li He smiled and nodded. He made an appointment with Old Man Lee and left.
