I changed a house with a flat floor of 155, but I didn't expect to change it to a bigger "pit"

The heavy rain in summer and the sun in winter are my biggest fears.

That hard-won 155 bungalow leaks and gets moldy when it rains heavily, and there is no sunshine in the house in winter.

I often think, is it really necessary to change this big house that was originally changed to improve the living environment?

In 20 14, during the Spring Festival when the university was about to graduate, my parents paid a down payment of120,000, and bought me a house in my hometown county.

It is really not easy for rural children to buy a house in the city. If this was a few years ago, buying a house was something that our family couldn't even think about.

1993, I was born in a remote village in a county-level city in central Jiangxi. My family has been farmers for generations. Apart from the state-owned mountains and fields, the only property is a three-story self-built house built in 200 1 year, and another floor was added in 2008 and 20 13. Whenever I talk about this house at home, my parents will smile bitterly: a three-story self-built house has been built for more than ten years. The top is new and the bottom is old, which is simply not like an era.

A three-story building with a total cost of less than 200 thousand has been built for more than ten years, which is enough to illustrate the economic difficulties at home. However, it also shows that my parents are working hard for this family and for raising my sister and me. Although their income is not too much and their life is not rich, their days are getting richer with their own efforts and going out to work. Looking at the hard work of my parents, I have been particularly sensible since I was a child. In their words, I never let them worry about studying since I was a child.

As the hope of the whole family, my parents hope that I can be a teacher or a civil servant after graduating from college, have a stable income, work in the city, and get rid of the fate of being a farmer like them completely. Before the Spring Festival of 20 14, parents who went out to work returned home from Guangzhou. In the process of visiting relatives and friends, they found that more and more relatives and friends bought houses in the city.

My parents, who have never had the idea of buying a house in the city, suddenly discussed with me and said, "In another semester, you will graduate from college. I heard that if you get married now, you need a house in the city. If there is no house, it is difficult to find a wife. " However, they only have 50,000 to 60,000 savings, and they can't afford the down payment. Just when we were hesitant, we learned that we were going to buy a house, and several aunts expressed their support. They can lend us a down payment and let us see the house first.

So, my parents and I took time to shuttle through this strange county town 40 kilometers away from home and saw almost all the new buildings. My hometown county is a county-level city, the economy of this province is OK, and the registered population ranks second in the province. As long as they are doing business and working outside, as long as they are making money and have the idea of buying a house, they will buy a suite at home. Even if the house is empty, they can't live a few times a year, and a bunch of people will rush to buy it. Gradually, the old city can't accommodate so many people, the new city is getting bigger and bigger, and some new areas with scattered properties have appeared in the new high-speed rail zone and the new logistics park.

When buying a house for the first time, the funds are limited. Our first consideration is the price. From the new city, you can see the new high-speed rail area on the edge of the city. The price here is relatively cheap, because high-speed railway station is just a planned piece, and there is no movement at all. In the new high-speed rail zone, we took a fancy to a residential area under construction, and we still have one year to pay the house. In my favorite neighborhood, I took a fancy to a small apartment, 1 10, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Nine floors were selected for 17, and the unit price was around 3,800, and the down payment required was120,000. With the help of several aunts, I got enough down payment. Because I haven't worked yet, I bought it in the name of my parents and made a mortgage loan.

My parents' idea is that if the loan takes a long time, the interest will be more, so I have only borrowed for ten years, and I have to pay more than 3,000 yuan in mortgage every month. 20 15 before the Spring Festival, my parents and I went home for the Spring Festival, which was just the time to hand over the house. When we got the key to the gate, we were so excited that we rushed to our new home without stopping. I didn't know what north-south opacity was until I walked into this house on the ninth floor. Only by opening the entrance door and forming convection with the living room window can you feel the wind inside the house.

However, when we bought a house for the first time, we didn't care too much. When we bought a house, we just felt that the middle household was small in size and low in price, and the down payment was 40 thousand to 50 thousand less than that of the side households. Father said that there is no perfect house, and the light on the ninth floor is good, and finally there is a place to live in the city. The most important thing is that it can be used as a condition for my marriage. Since I delivered the house, I seem to have become emboldened to go to town. Even if the house is not decorated, I haven't moved in yet.

However, every time I apply for a civil servant's home address, I always replace the country I have been filling in with the unfinished building in this city. I can't wait to let the world know that I have a house in the city. We are looking forward to what it will look like after the renovation, and we are going to save money for a year to go home and decorate. 2065438+June 2006, my parents quit their jobs in other places and returned to their hometown, ready to do some small business and get rid of the long-term rush. At that time, I opened an online shop and took an examination of civil servants. I can work and study anywhere, so I followed them back to my hometown.

After returning home, we discussed the matter of decorating the house. In order to save money, I searched for pictures of decoration cases everywhere on the Internet, discussed the general style with my father, bought materials myself and hired workers myself. After half a year, it was finally decorated before the Spring Festival. After the renovation, my father calculated all the expenses, plus furniture and appliances, and the whole house was renovated, which only cost 6.5438+million.

When we finished decorating, our neighbors upstairs and downstairs came to see our house and said it was well decorated. They also asked us if we wanted 200,000 to 300,000. We laughed to ourselves and our hearts were filled with joy. It seems that 6.5438+10,000 yuan has the effect of 200,000 yuan. It is said that in the first year of renovation of a new house, you should enjoy yourself and spend the next year in it. So, on the afternoon of New Year's Eve in 20 17, we rushed from the countryside to the city, took our grandparents over, and the new house officially moved.

We allocated three rooms for the New Year's Eve sleep. A parent, a grandfather and I, a grandmother and an unmarried sister, three rooms are just right. That night, I slept in my new house. Apart from the joy of moving to a new house, I began to worry about the future: If I get married and have children in the future, will this three-bedroom house not be enough to live in? Must be changing four rooms, right?

But I'm just thinking about it. I just bought a house and just finished decorating it. The money at home is running out. Where can I get money to buy a big house? 20 17 10 I have lived in my new house for more than half a year. Occasionally I feel that the north and south are not transparent, the ventilation is not good, and the indoor area is small. But for rural people, living in the city is good, and I began to enjoy the leisure of this small city.

But not long after, I passed the examination of public institutions, was admitted to a unit 300 kilometers away from home, and left my new home where I haven't lived for a year.

2/3

After working in the field for a year, because I can't afford to buy a house, the economic obstacles make my life in the field full of confusion. 2065438+July 2008, I passed a civil service exam and returned to my hometown as I wished, feeling the sureness of having a house at home and the sense of belonging of going home to see my family every day.

Not long after I came back to work, I talked about a girlfriend. I am 25 years old and began to be urged to get married by my family. I think, to get married, you must have a bigger house. After marriage, my parents will occasionally go to the city, and my grandparents in my hometown will definitely come to live several times a year. I will have my own bedroom after having children. In this way, three rooms are definitely not enough. You have to buy a four-bedroom house before the family can barely live.

In addition to the lack of rooms, the lack of north-south permeability is also a problem of this house. Thinking of this, I am more determined to change houses. In addition, the monthly payment for the house has always been borne by my parents. Because I used to work in other places, I had daily expenses such as renting a house and eating, and I didn't save any money, so my parents wouldn't let me repay the mortgage. Now I'm home, and my expenses are small. When I change my house, it's my turn to pay the mortgage, so as not to put pressure on my parents.

After these considerations, I began to discuss with my parents. With their consent, I'm going to sell this house in the new high-speed rail area first, and then buy a bigger one when I get the money. In March of 20 19, the house price at this time, stimulated by the shed reform, increased a lot compared with the time when it was bought in 20 15. However, because our house is not transparent from north to south, it has not risen much. After many buyers bid, I was in a hurry to change rooms, because the price was almost the same, so I sold it.

After the money to sell the house came to hand, except for the money to repay the loan in advance, there were only more than 400 thousand left. We have begun to look at houses in a new way, because most new buildings have been converted into shacks. If you are in a hurry to get married, you can only look at second-hand houses. At this time, house prices are not what they used to be. The unit price of most houses is more than double that of the first house bought before, generally between 8000 and 65438+ 10000 square meters.

I think it will be difficult to buy a suite or the four rooms I want. There are few four-bedroom houses. I saw several sets of four rooms, because the price is too expensive, and the total price is 654.38+0.2 million, which I can't afford. At this time, an intermediary will take me to see the three rooms, although the price is mostly within my budget of 654.38+0 million, and the floor is also good and transparent. But because it was decided that there must be four rooms before changing rooms, it is unacceptable to look at those good three rooms and not like them at all. After looking at the apartment for several months, from 2065438 to July 2009, I finally saw a suitable four-bedroom apartment.

Although the residential area where the house is located has been built for six or seven years, the environment inside is still good and the facilities are relatively new, which is the best in the county. The building where this house is located is a small villa with seven floors, one staircase and two households, and the pool area is small. The house I like, with two bedrooms and three living rooms, has a total area of 155 square meters. The price is 654.38+0.05 million, which is also suitable. The only drawback is the low floor, which is located on the second floor. However, this shortcoming can be ignored. It was summer, and the indoor lighting was good. The front and rear buildings are also small houses with low floors.

I don't think the lighting problem should be serious. In addition, our budget is around 6,543.8+0,000, and the price of 6,543.8+0,500 is almost appropriate. At that time, we also learned that the total price of the three floors upstairs, even if it is only one floor higher, is 200 thousand more. If you can't afford the third floor, you have to buy the second floor. When looking at the house, the neighbor across the street also said, "This is a small house. Not many people live there. It's quiet and the house is big and comfortable. You can buy it. "

At that time, I thought this was the best house for me. After determining the price, I happily went through the transfer formalities with the landlord and got a mortgage loan. I took out all my money and paid the down payment. At this time, my girlfriend and I have known each other for a year. Both parents met and talked about getting married. They are scheduled to get married in May 2020. Look at the time. I'm getting married in less than 10 months. In order to get married and live in a new house, I gritted my teeth and went to the bank to borrow 200 thousand decoration loan. The renovation loan has to be paid back more than 5000 yuan every month, and the monthly salary has been paid off. There is not much left, but in order to live in time, the pain is worth it. When the renovation was completed in September, I saw the sunshine shining in the depths of the room, which was better than when I was looking at the house.

I study geography in high school. I know that the height angle of the sun is lower than that in summer, and the angle is inclined, so there is more sunshine in the room. Just when I was happy for the light in my room, I found myself being hit in the face by my geographical knowledge. During the renovation in June 5438+065438+ 10, the sun angle became lower and lower, and under the shelter of the south house, the sunshine time in the house gradually shortened. In February of 12, the sun can only shine into the house at 8-9 am, and then it is blocked by the house in front until the sun goes down. Only then did I realize that geography had been learned for nothing.

In winter, the height angle of the sun becomes the lowest, and the distance between me and the house in front is not long enough, which causes the sun to be blocked by it. Facing the fact that there is no sun in the cold winter, I began to feel a little lost and regretful, blaming myself for being too impatient. However, thinking of the approaching wedding day, I have no choice. I comfort myself that winter is very short. Besides lighting in winter, the house has many other benefits, such as quiet, cool in summer, large area and many balconies.

With a little unhappiness, in order to improve the brightness of the room, I decided to give priority to light colors such as white. By June, 5438 +2020 10, the wall putty was ready and the latex paint was brushed. The wall painted in winter is not easy to dry, so it is decided to carry out the next construction after the New Year. In the Spring Festival of 2020, I encountered an epidemic. After the New Year, I am not allowed to enter the community. I decided to wait until the seal was unsealed before the next renovation.

3/3?

It was not until March 2020 that the epidemic was controlled and the community was unsealed. When I came home, I scraped white putty powder and painted white latex paint. Winter passed, and the room was bright with sunshine.

Originally thought, the broken heart got some comfort at this moment. Unexpectedly, more terrible problems are waiting for me. I walked room by room, looking forward to the appearance of all the furniture and appliances after completion, and looking forward to everyone having their own room after the family moved in. I walked from room to room and came to a second bedroom in the north. I found several palm-sized places on the wall near the window. Scraped putty is the same as old bark. Some of it sticks to the wall, others fall to the ground, and the wall is full of potholes.

It's over. The house is leaking. I thought it was a water leak by the window. Careful inspection and observation on rainy days turned out to be a problem with the design of the house. When it rains, the water from the eaves upstairs just flows to the leaking outer wall of my house. The more it rains, the more water there is, so it seeps into it. After determining the reason, I immediately found the property. The door-to-door staff said that water leakage on the outer wall of this community is very common. At present, there are more than 100 registered households, which need to be solved one by one. I said, it's my turn

The property said that if it is urgent, it is recommended to spend money to solve it. I thought to myself, this is the house I just bought, and I encountered such a problem before I moved in. If I wait any longer, all the putty on my wall will fall off. In desperation, in order to avoid causing greater losses to the house, the property could not be solved for a long time, so I simply installed a canopy outside the wall at my own expense to drain the water from the eaves upstairs to the ground.

The decoration cost so much money, not hundreds. After installing the awning, the decoration began to advance step by step. Due to the epidemic, the wedding date was also postponed from May to 10. I bought household appliances and furniture one after another before marriage, and the decoration came to an end. 5438+ 10 After the wedding in June, my wife and I moved into a new house. After moving in, we used the north second bedroom, which used to leak rain, as our study. Besides the bedroom, the study is the place where we spend the most time every day. There was nothing unusual at first until the rainy season came. Every time it rains heavily, we find that after the last repair of the study, although it is better, there will still be water marks on the wall. Especially in the rainy season, not only the wall leaks, but also the wooden tables and chairs in the room are covered with mold in the humid environment, and the room is full of musty smell, so I dare not stay long. In desperation, I moved all the wooden furniture in the study to the balcony of the living room. The study can only be empty, and my wife often complains that she bought a house for nothing.

This time, I think it is impossible to solve the problem by myself, so I will let the property waterproof the external wall again. After many unsuccessful negotiations with the property, I discussed with my neighbors who also had water leakage problems in the house and went to the online political platform to complain. A few days later, the complaint had an effect and the property finally agreed to pay compensation. A few months passed, and it was not until the end of 2020 that the property was repaired, and the leaking position was waterproof. After this maintenance, the water leakage problem has been further solved. However, due to the design defects of the house itself, it is difficult to fundamentally solve the water leakage problem. Looking at the heavy rain, there are still slight water stains on the wall, and my heart is very uncomfortable. I also know that the property has come forward to make up for it once, and it is more difficult for them to make up for it again. I also thought that in case the water leakage problem can't be solved, I will shovel the putty near the window of this wall and paste the tiles when I have time, which will always solve the water leakage problem, right? You can't see the water stains on the wall, can you? But our work and life are too busy to take care of.

Since the last time I moved my desk to the balcony of the living room, my wife was frightened by the musty smell of the previous study, and almost never entered the door of the study. I often comfort myself and comfort her. After all, this is our first house to get married. Besides low floors, poor lighting and slight water leakage, there are still many advantages. I feel comfortable living here for so long, and I really don't like it. I will buy another one when I have money. I said I could change rooms in the future, but I know in my heart that changing rooms is just talk. It's really difficult to change another house. At present, my monthly salary is paid off by the decoration loan, and my daily expenses are not enough. I will face the problem of raising children in the future, and I don't know when the mortgage will be paid off. What for the house?

Faced with the troubles brought by this house, I am embarrassed to tell outsiders that I am afraid that people will laugh at me for buying a second suite, so I can still buy a house like this. Time passed like this, and we gradually stopped thinking about water leakage. In a blink of an eye, the rainy season of 202 1 has arrived again, and it is not surprising that there is a slight water leakage in the heavy rain. One day in July, the property staff came to collect the property fee for the New Year. I said angrily, if the water leakage problem is not solved, what property fees should I pay?

At this point, the attitude of the property has changed greatly, and the property fee has not been raised immediately. It is promised that someone will repair the water leakage problem. This time, the efficiency of property can be said to be very fast. The day after it was repaired, my doorbell rang. It turned out that it was just repaired yesterday, and today I collect property fees at home. I turned the property staff back: I said why this maintenance is so efficient. It turned out that I was in a hurry to collect money. Let's wait until it rains to see if it leaks. There will be little heavy rain in the second half of the year, so it is estimated that it will wait until next year. Unconsciously, 65438+ February also arrived, and the winter without sunshine that scared me came again.

Looking at the master bedroom, only my wife and I often live, my parents occasionally sleep in the second bedroom, and the other two rooms are basically unoccupied. Even if the child is born, it will only use one room, and family members and relatives can come or squeeze in occasionally.

Facing the situation of four rooms now, I was lost in thought. Was it really necessary to buy four rooms at the beginning? Winter will soon pass, but another one scares me. Can summer with heavy rain be far behind?
