Zhang Xue and Ye Kun's parents are all ordinary wage earners in the county town. They were born in 1960s. Their generation has been advancing in times of coerce. They save money mostly for their children to get married and get married.
before, Zhang Xue and Ye Kun's parents bought a suite in the county seat, leaving their children to marry, and they felt that their mission was completed. But the plan to buy a house in Beijing has increased pressure on both parents.
on the day of their national day of home, on the night of September 30, 2016, Beijing suddenly issued a new deal in the property market, demanding that the first down payment ratio increased from 30% to 35%.
a high fever that lasted for half a year, Zhang Xue felt a change in the market and became a buyer's market.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Xue are mixed - feeling that house prices should not be as crazy as they did before, but the proportion of down payments has increased.
in order to make enough of the down payment, Zhang Xue and Ye Kun's parents decided to sell the house they had previously prepared in the county seat.
"as far as I know, many people like us sell their homes in the house (Beijing house) down payment. Besides, the houses in the county towns are not very good to sell and hang out for one or two months before they are sold. It is very difficult to go inventory in three or four cities. " Ye Kun said.
last December, two suites sold, totaling about 900 thousand, plus the total savings of the two families, making up 1 million 600 thousand.

"much happier than me"
with his parents' money, Zhang Xue's heart was a little mixed up. On the one hand, she felt that his parents had been hard money for a lifetime. On the other hand, she had to rely on their parents in the face of Beijing's house prices.
the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end. They will once again live in the daytime and work in the evening. According to the latest benchmark interest rate policy of the first suite in Beijing, Zhang Xue calculates that after buying a house they need to pay more than 10 thousand yuan a month - more than the total of two people.
"as long as we work hard, wages will slowly rise." Ye Kun said, "now the mentality is much better than the beginning of the house, it has been gradually accepted from the difficult to accept."
Zhang Xue feels that his life is arranged and everything is going on step by step. Including being a civil servant is also the hope of parents. She did not feel that life in the system was boring, but rather adapted to the system.
they found that many friends and colleagues around were repeating their experience of buying a house. Zhang Xue said that one of the students from Tianjin in Beijing, who worked in the IT work in Beijing, found it difficult to get a first pay day and night, so they hope to find a girlfriend quickly and then make do with the two to buy a house.
"many of my colleagues work in Beijing. My wife and children are living in the old house. They don't think about buying a house in Beijing. They are much happier than me." Ye Kun felt that he should be contented.
