Young people or middle-aged people who work outside the home, many people are renting houses.
In the eyes of Chinese, renting is not a happy thing, renting a house often symbolizes that you can't afford to buy a house, buying a house is a big thing in life, it needs to empty the savings for many years, and need to bear the debt of twenty or thirty years, but after buying a house, you will always feel that it is much more decent than renting a house, whether you live after buying a house or eating soy sauce noodles, people still have a real sense of home, and renting a house always means that it is drifting, whether it is a luxury apartment or a suburban villa, for renters, None of this is your ultimate destination.
Let's talk a little bit about renting.
【Buildings from the 1950s】
I believe that young people living in first- and second-tier cities have never seen the buildings of the 1950s, and they have rarely heard the stories of that era.
Xiao Yang just graduated that will rent an old house, this house is close to the highway, commuting is very convenient, this is a set of winery family homes built in the late fifties, the house is old, like the teaching building of the middle school in the past, the door is a one-meter-high iron railing, each household shares a corridor, most of the residents here are elderly people and parents who accompany their children to school nearby, several old people often sit in front of their homes to bask in the sun, Xiao Yang every time they walk by the old man, some of them will greet warmly, Some will "pay attention to the gift" of Xiao Yang and watch Lao Yang walk to the corner of the stairs. However, it is rare to see other young people walking outside, and they may have the same psychology as Xiao Yang, thinking that living in such an old place is a very humiliating thing.
【Dazaiyuan】
Xiao Yang has changed many residences, including more than a year in the courtyard, which is also the longest time he has rented a house, when he and his girlfriend rented two hall houses, the house is the kind of red tile house in the countryside, surrounded by this type of house. The yard lived about six or seven households, the east of the hall house two is the landlord of the old two, for the elderly people, the east side of the house is large, so the landlord lives in the east of the hall house, the rest of the rooms are all rented out, the east room is a family of four, the child is nearby to go to school, has lived for many years, and the landlord has a good relationship, the south room two rooms have a man who works the night shift, next door is a single mother with a child to live there, the west house is a young girl, Xiao Yang is impressed by her, the little girl looks very beautiful Xiao Yang often peeked at the window of his room to fetch water next to the water pipe, and heard that the little girl worked in the supermarket, and Xiao Yang already had a girlfriend, so he never talked to the little girl.
【The most expensive rental】
After Xiao Yang got married, he did not buy a house, but for the sake of face, he still rented a house in the community, the rent of this house was the most expensive time in his rental journey, the house was the top floor, there was no elevator, Xiao Yang and his girlfriend climbed the stairs every time, they felt that they were exercising, the house was a new house, the furnishings inside were clean and tidy, but the annual heating fee and property fee were also a big expense for Xiao Yang, and later, they had their own son, holding the child to climb the stairs became a test. The couple eventually bought a small high-rise with the help of relatives and friends, sometimes waiting for the elevator, but for Xiao Yang, waiting is also happy, because he finally does not have to rent a house anymore.
Renting a house and buying a house are the same as living, but the rented house always feels like home, because you may spend time and money to create your own space, and after buying a house, you feel as if you have a home, no matter whether the house you bought is big or small, whether it is new or old, it belongs to you after all, so that you have a sense of home.
