Chapter 348
Chen Xia felt a little cold when she saw such a accommodation environment, let alone compared it with his plum garden.
There are now couples in his family, one with a younger brother and one with a younger sister, one with a grandmother and Chen Fang, and Chen Chun occasionally wants to come back to live.
Even if he is qualified to divide two rooms, the total amount of 40 square meters is not enough to live in. Even if he needs XXOO at night, he can't make a slight sound. Can this be tolerated?
What to do?
There are two ways: either drive for half an hour every day and rush back to Meiyuan to live, or buy a house again in Yuezhou urban area.
According to Chen Xia's nature, of course, I chose the latter. After all, this is a regional resident, and no matter how backward it is, it is still a medium-sized city. Ke Town is just a town after all.
As people go to a higher place, the lives of people in the city are good.
In the morning, I sent fresh milk and left the New People's Hospital. Crossing the road was the largest department store. Then I went there to be the Workers' Cultural Palace, the cinema, and the children's park. Life was quite convenient.
Moreover, schools in the urban area are better than Ke Town. For the sake of Chen Qiu and Chen Dong, they also have to choose "school district housing".
Chen Qiu's grades are very good. He was admitted to Kezhen High School and went to the first year of high school. Chen Dong's grades are stable, yes, they are in the class about 45, ahem...
Chen Xia handed a cigarette to Zeng Peinong: "Brother Zeng, you are familiar with this area. I want to ask if there are any houses for sale near our hospital?"
"I think about it," Zeng Peinong took a puff of cigarettes. "I really don't have any in my mind. Who can sell houses these days? I'll ask you for information about what kind of house do you want?"
"Of course it's a big house. If you don't consider the old terrace, there are too many residents in the slums, so there will be more trouble. If I want a house with a separate yard, the price doesn't matter, it's just that it must be big."
Yuezhou urban area is a typical Jiangnan water town. In 1982, the urban area mainly retained the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were the low-rise houses with white walls and black tiles, which looked very poetic and picturesque.
But it feels uncomfortable to live in it. The bungalow is very wet, especially on the rainy days in Jiangnan. Even the underwear is wet and the clothes are not dry.
In summer, the house is sunny for a day and is very stuffy, and in winter, it is very airy and cold.
If there is no separate toilet, men can take a shower in the yard while women can only buy a large wooden basin and sit in it to wash, which is very inconvenient.
Chen Xia would not want to live in such a house. It would be crazy to think about it. He lived in about 70 or 80 households in the same station, and he was so annoyed.
If he couldn't find a good house, he would rather work harder and go back and forth to Kezhen for two hours a day to live.
Zeng Peinong suddenly had an idea, "You said you want a big house, the bigger the better, but I remembered it. There is no big house next to our hospital, but there is a "Western Garden" that is empty, and the house is in the hands of the housing management office. If you have any connections, you can ask."
"Western Garden?"
Chen Xia is not very familiar with Yuezhou urban area and has never heard of such a place.
"Xiyuan is located in the southwest corner of the Mansion Mountains, covering an area of about four or five acres. It is famous because it has a very beautiful Jiangnan garden. It is said that it was originally a royal garden in the Wuyue Kingdom. Later, it became a private residence in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After liberation, it was once used as an office location for the government office, and now it is empty."
Oh, this situation is a bit similar to that of Meiyuan. The only difference is that Meiyuan was later given to the descendants of the Li family, and Xiyuan has always been in the hands of the housing management office.
Anyway, he had come, so Chen Xia decided to go and have a look. In order to establish a good relationship with the future section chief, Zeng Peinong took the initiative to become a tour guide.
Xiyuan is not too far from New People's Hospital, and it takes about 10 minutes to ride a bicycle.
Chen Xia and Zeng Peinong followed Jiefang Road south and then turned Renmin Road, and arrived in a short while.
When he arrived at the place, Chen Xia first looked at the Feng Shui around him.
This place is good. To the north is the largest Fushan Park in the city. It turned out to be the palace city of the ancient Yue Kingdom, which is where Goujian slept on firewood and tasted gall; to the west is the Ringcheng River; to the south there is a road for cars.
In the original history, if Chen Xia had not appeared, the West Garden would have been empty for more than ten years. It was probably transformed into a community park in the late 1990s and opened.
When the two arrived, the Xiyuan Gate was closed tightly. After a few calls, no one answered. Just as they were about to leave, a guard came over from the Fushan Street Office not far away:
"Hey, I see, you two have been wandering around here for a long time, what are you doing?"
Zeng Peinong pointed at Chen Xia and said with a smile: "We both work in the hospital. I didn't hear that the scenery of Xiyuan is beautiful, so I want to come and have a look."
The old man looked at the work permits of the two. Both were section chiefs and his attitude immediately improved.
"What's the best thing about West Garden? I want to see it and wait, I'll find the keys for you."
Well, the key was quickly put in this person's hand. Chen Xia took out a bag of big front door and came out for the old man, and followed Zeng Peinong into the west garden.
The gate of the West Garden opens to the east. When you enter, the first thing that catches your eye is a large courtyard. To the south of the courtyard is an exquisite small garden, with traditional pavilions and rockery.
There was a three-story western-style building on the north side of the yard, which made Chen Xia very surprised. He originally thought that the buildings here should be dominated by traditional Chinese buildings.
The small foreign house is a brick and stone building, not like the domestic style. Minglu is a typical architectural style of the Republic of China, while the small foreign house in Xiyuan is very similar to the old house on the Gulangyu Island in Xiamen.
I guess the owner of this house should be a Chinese overseas in Southeast Asia.
The small foreign house is clean and all the floors are made of wooden. When you walk in, you feel very comfortable. It seems that all the wealthy families in the Republic of China live in such a house.
The house is symmetrical from left to right, with the living room and stairs in the middle, and there are three rooms on the left and right. In this way, there are 7 rooms on the first floor, and Chen Xia's family is only a few people. If you really want to buy it, it will be enough to live in.
Chen Xia was moved.
There are probably few reborn people who have passed by in 2020 who are not attracted to houses. After all, this housing price is too scammed decades later, and housing prices have become a permanent pain for everyone.
Chen Xia was sponsored by his parents in his previous life, so he didn’t have much burden when buying a house, but if he wanted to change a villa and live in it, he was not qualified. Even the terraced houses started with six or seven million yuan, and the villas were sold to more than tens of millions.
"Brother Zeng, are there any good schools near this West Park?"
"Yes, the primary school is the best Lu Xun Primary School in the city. Just walk 300 meters east. You are in Yueyi Middle School and high school. It's a little further away. It takes about 10 minutes to ride a bike along Fuzhi Street."
Is this a far distance? Is this a perfect school district housing in the city center good?
Chen Xia has decided to buy this "Western Garden" at all costs no matter how much it is.
After all, garden-style villas like the city center will definitely be a scarce resource in the future.
