1469 [1468] Housewarming

Chapter 1469 【1468】Moving to a new home

On May Day, the harvester factory held a grand handover ceremony. This was also the first time that their family of five stepped into their family home.

There are two houses on one staircase, east and west, and they are west houses, on the fourth floor.

Walking into such a community, Ding Wei couldn't help but think of the old houses from the 1970s and 1980s in later generations.

The wall is still a cement wall with no tiles. The outside is painted with a gravel-like paint. There is no insulation layer. The internal walls are not whitewashed. The floor is all cement. Even the ground looks uneven and smooth. Every household has no doors or windows and is bare.

The corridor has a somewhat shabby interior.

Despite this, everyone is still very happy, because this is their own house, and there is no so-called shared area, and no property fees are calculated for you. In the future, it will be managed uniformly by the factory, and you can just pay some so-called health service fees.

Housing costs couldn't be lower.

Seventy-six square meters, three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom and one balcony, transparent from north to south, two bedrooms facing the sun, one bedroom facing the north, but the one facing the sun is connected to the living room, and the other one has a storage room similar to it.

The balcony, the north-facing bedroom is the smallest, next to the dining room, kitchen and bathroom.

The overall layout was okay. After my parents saw it, they immediately gave the bedroom that faced the sun the most and was connected to the living room to my brothers. There were many of them.

The two of them live in the one with a storage room and balcony. The remaining one is small. After putting down the wardrobe and desk, there is a bunk bed, which is just right for the two sisters.

Although the two sisters' house is small, it does have a window. The only disadvantage is that it doesn't face the sun, but it doesn't matter. After all, they are students. They go out early and come back late, so they don't need to bask in the sun.

The four brothers live in one room. Even though they don't come back often because of work and study, they still have what they should have.

My parents also agreed to arrange their bedroom with two bunk beds, a wardrobe, and a desk, and connect it to the living room without opening a door. Once the door is opened, the light in the room will not be enough, and then the curtains will be drawn.

The balcony in the living room is very large. After installing security windows, you can place flowers and plants. In this era, there are no floor-to-ceiling windows or bay windows that protrude outward. There is only one window.

There are radiators in the house, which proves that the unit plans to use a boiler. In the winter, each household will pay a heating fee.

Every household has electricity and faucets, and these have been passed over. In other words, if they decorate the interior and finally install doors and windows, the home can be moved in directly.

My father initially planned to spend a thousand yuan on hard decoration. In fact, the house had almost all the soft furnishings. Although they were all second-hand goods, they had already found someone to repair and paint them, and even hired an experienced craftsman to do the work.

There are three removable bunk beds, which are a bit more spacious than ordinary iron bunks, not so narrow, and longer because my sons are taller.

After that, it became even more difficult for my father to come home because he had to sell building materials, doors and windows. Later, it was too difficult for the factory to see everyone, because most of them required tickets, so we simply discussed with other manufacturers and put the stalls directly into the factory. No tickets are required, but the price will increase.

It was a little more expensive, and my father was so happy that he immediately ordered all the building materials needed in the factory.

But there are also people who choose to hire someone to decorate it themselves for more than ten or twenty yuan. It doesn't matter. The house has been handed over anyway. How to decorate it next depends on the strength of each house.

The father wants his daughter to go to junior high school and live in his new house. The main reason is that the furniture in the house has been ventilated and the hard furnishings are not polluted, so as long as the hard furnishings are completed, they can move in directly.

After that, my parents started to worry about the decoration of the new house. Regarding the decoration, the family even got together and drew a decoration drawing. So there were sample drawings for how to decorate, because the conditions in this era were limited, and their family was buying a house.

He was already jealous, so Dad decided to dress down.

Of course, the doors, windows, wires, lights, etc. all have to be of the best quality. The floor will be polished with cement directly, and there is no plan to lay the floor. The cost of wooden floor is too high, and marble is even more expensive. Let’s live like this for a few years.

At the end of June, Ding Cailian was admitted to the city's health school, and she finally chose to become a nurse.

Ding Wei thinks this job is not bad. After all, health schools in this era assign jobs, and they will all be regular workers in the future. As long as they learn the skills, it is all skills. It is a good profession. Although she thinks the teachers are better, but

Ding Cailian felt that she was not suitable to be a teacher, so she finally chose health school.

Ding Jianxin, who had repeated grade one year, was admitted to the rural middle school. No matter what, he was finally admitted to junior high school, which was better than graduating from elementary school and returning home to farm.

Ding Wei entered County No. 1 Middle School without any suspense.

Ding Lan and Ding Jianshu will both enter the third grade of junior high school in the fall.

On Army Day, August 1st, the Ding family moved to a new home.

The doors and windows are all newly made and brand new. Although there is still a bit of paint smell, it does not affect the overall effect. As long as it is ventilated regularly, it will be fine.

The walls are all whitewashed, and the wires, lights, and curtains are all in place. Unfortunately, there are no anti-theft windows to install. The front door of the house is an iron door on the outside and a wooden door on the inside, with double layers of security.

The brothers' bunk beds and the wardrobes in the three bedrooms were all made by remodeling old furniture after Ding Zhenlong measured the dimensions in advance.

The tables, chairs and benches in the living room, which is also the main room, are all the ones used by the ancients. They are painted with shiny red paint and look very festive.

The door frames of all their furniture are Chinese red, which is a characteristic of decoration in this era. Ding Wei did not object and let the couple go with the flow.

The dining table in the restaurant is a square Eight Immortals table and Eight Immortals chairs.

In the era when there were no refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, or fans, this could free up a lot of empty space.

At first, Ding Wei thought the red was a bit too eye-catching, but as the classical furniture with all Chinese characteristics was placed one by one, she realized that her parents had a good sense, because the bright Chinese red created a festive and warm atmosphere in the home.

Features, fortunately the curtains are light colored, otherwise it would really affect the light in the room.

The study desks in each of their houses are also made from old furniture. The desks in their parents' house do not have bookshelves. The desks in my brother's and theirs' houses not only have summer vacation, but also have two decent bookshelves built for them.

There was still a smell in the house, so they lived in a rural house for two months during the summer vacation. Dad ventilated all the houses in the city, and also bought kitchen supplies and briquettes from time to time, because there was no such thing as this in this era.

Natural gas and induction cooker, so briquettes are used for cooking.

When moving the briquettes up, the whole family moved together, walking down one trip after another. Although it was hard work, Ding Wei gradually got wet at the corners of her eyes as she looked at the increasingly decent home, because they finally settled in the county town. For this

Year, she waited for eleven years.
