In the early days of our marriage, my husband and I lived in a shabby neighborhood that was a shabby, damp and musty. The walls are peeling, the window frames are rotting, the roof is leaking, and they are woken up to the sound of dripping water every night. The neighborhood is surrounded by factories, and the whole place is filled with smoke and dust. Perhaps because of this terrible living environment, my husband and I started to work harder, hoping to save enough for a down payment to buy our new house as soon as possible. However, when I finally hadBuying a houseI was carelessly chosen on the wrong floor. At first, I felt very depressed and felt that I had made the wrong choice. However, as time went on, when I received the keys to the house, I realized that this wrong choice turned out to be an unexpected surprise.
Living in an old community in Liaocheng City, the living environment is harsh, full of dampness and musty smell. The walls are peeling,windowsDecaying, leaking roofs. Cigarette butts can be seen everywhere and there are swarms of mosquitoes on the walls. The area around the complex is filled with factory smoke and dust, and sunlight cannot penetrate the house. Every day, the roar of the machine and the noise of pipe cleaning can be unbearable. And the second floor where I live is even worse in the spring and summer, the house is full of mosquitoes, even when it is closedwindowsIt can also be suffocating because of the stuffiness. There was also spreading mold on the walls of the toilet. In order to improve this terrible living environment, my husband and I worked hard to work overtime, and we also did not let go of holidays, hoping to save enough for a down payment to buy a new house as soon as possible.
I was going to buy a south-facing high-rise house, but when I went to the sales office to look at the model, I found that my favorite floor had been sold out on the first day of opening. All that remains are some poorly lit middle and lower floors. After the persuasion of my friend, I finally decided to sign a house on the 8th floor. I chose this floor because 8 is an auspicious number in traditional Chinese culture, and the height of this floor is also moderate, making it easy to take elevators and stairs. In addition, the view from the 8th floor is also very good, and it is close to the park complex. However, when I posted the ** of the signing ceremony to the circle of friends, I was blamed and criticized by my girlfriends and friends. They said that the house I chose had poor lighting, and the 8th floor was too low, so I didn't deserve my pleasure at all. Some people even said that I was superstitious and asked me to choose a new floor with good feng shui. This made me feel very frustrated and guilty.
After a few years of low periods, it is finally time to hand over the house. When I inserted the key to open the door to my new house, I was shocked by what I saw. The bright sunlight shone in from the room, and the window had a beautiful view of the park and even the smell of flowers. At this moment, my heart was filled with surprise and gratitude. The husband also couldn't wait to arrive, he was a little unhappy because of the traffic jam, but when he saw the beautiful scenery, he was also very surprised and satisfied. We excitedly walked around the new house, evaluating every detail. I finally understood that choosing the 8th floor was not a mistake, on the contrary, it brought me an unexpected surprise.
In the process of buying a house, I came up with some insights. First of all, buying a house is a very important thing that needs to be carefully considered and not too impatient and impulsive. My choice was clearly confused by the numbers and did not take into account the follow-up questions. Secondly, don't pay too much attention to other people's eyes and comments, and listen to your heart at critical moments. Finally, I also realized that there are many advantages and charms of low floors, and it is more important to have a comfortable living environment without pursuing too much high-rise buildings.
This wrong floor selection caused me a lot of depression and guilt, but it turned out to be an unexpected surprise. My husband and I felt happiness and satisfaction in the sunshine of our new house. Buying a home is an important decision, don't be swayed by other people's opinions and comments, listen to your heart. Maybe our choices aren't perfect, but each one brings us new experiences and inspirations. Whether it's a tall building or a low building, living in a comfortable environment is the most important thing.
