Counterattack 1988

Chapter 278
The Haikou where Wang Lin boasted was overwhelmed!
He had to take out the dishes he had at home and cook a big table of meals.

The dishes that were originally reserved for Grandma Shen for the Chinese New Year can be finished in one day today!
Unexpectedly, the second uncle Shen Wenwu's family also came uninvited.

Shen Wenwu's family also has nine members!
Including the nine members of the third uncle's family, plus the three of Wang Lin, twenty-one people!

If this is in a hotel, three tables can be seated.

In the old dilapidated house, it was a bustling scene!
It is estimated that it was the first time in decades that it was so lively.

There are not enough tables, and the bowls and chopsticks were brought from the two uncles' homes.

More than half of the children ate standing up, holding the rice and picking up some vegetables, and they just ate happily.

Shen Xue smiled helplessly, and said to Wang Lin in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of being annoyed by such a big family in my family?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It's not annoying, I think it's quite lively and fun."

Shen Xue said: "I told grandma, and she agreed to build a new house."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "That's great. After the Chinese New Year, we'll hire someone to build it. What color do you like?"

"Me? Well, I like black, white, red and pink."

"Okay, then our house is mainly black, white and pink."

"In the future, we can often go home and have a look."

"Yes, Shencheng is not far from Gusu City, and you can run back and forth in a day. You don't know the benefits of having a house in the countryside! The world is so wide! Isn't it? This is unmatched by villas in the city. "

"Your thinking is quite unique. People in the country only want to go to the city, but you, a city person, miss the country upside down."

"That's right. The literati in our country all have a pastoral complex. When they are rich and powerful, they find a place to live in seclusion and enjoy the mountains and rivers. This is a realm that ordinary people can't reach."

"I know you are not an ordinary person!"

Wang Lin laughed out loud.

This New Year's Eve meal was full of big fish and meat, which filled the relatives of the Shen family.

After eating Wang Lin's food, they liked Wang Lin a little more. They all praised the man Shen Xue was looking for, he was good-looking, he was good-looking, and he could cook!

After the meal, Wang Lin took out thousands of dollars and stuffed them quietly into Grandma Shen's hands: "Grandma, keep it for yourself, don't spend it recklessly, keep it for yourself, eat well, dress well, and use it well." Good! Don’t be reluctant. I’ll give you the money after you use it up.”

Grandma Shen had tears in her eyes: "Wang Lin, I don't want so much money. Grandma can't spend so much money."

"Just keep it! Shen Xue and I will go back tonight."

"It's so late, where is there a car to go back to the city?"

"Grandma, we drove here by ourselves."

"Oh, then you must be careful! Come and play again when you have time."

"After the new year, I will ask the engineering team to come and build the house, and I will contact you when the time comes."

"Well, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you! You are such a good man, Shen Xue is lucky!"

Wang Lin and Shen Xue didn't make any preparations for staying overnight, so they didn't bring any luggage, so they left immediately.

When the second uncle and the third uncle realized it, Wang Lin and Shen Xue had already disappeared. After asking Grandma Shen, they found out that they had returned to the city overnight.

Grandma Shen said: "They both have to work tomorrow! How can they stay for so many days?"

Shen Wenwu asked: "It's so late, where do they take the bus?"

"Don't worry about it, they have their own cars."

Lu Guihua said: "There is a car parked at the entrance of the village. Could it be that they drove it? Where did they get the car? That car costs tens of thousands of dollars, right?"

Grandma Shen said: "The car of Wang Lin's unit! Don't ask me about it!"

Lu Guihua said: "I'll just say it! Wang Lin is just a worker, how much money can he have? How can he afford a car? Let me tell you, my family, Shen Xue, is still unmarried!"

Qiao Lianhong said: "That's right! For a beauty like Shen Xue, marrying a big leader will definitely not be a problem! Then she will marry well, eat hot food, live in a cadre building, and drive in a car!"

Grandma Shen opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, she just smiled slightly, as if to say: What do you know?
Let's say Wang Lin and Shen Xue got into the car.

"It's still early, let's go to Gusu City for a while? Buy some special products and send them home?" Wang Lin asked.

"Ah? Go to Gusu City? Okay!" Chen Xueyan smiled, "You're very interested! I thought you would dislike the countryside!"

"Why? I really like the atmosphere of this big family. Although your two aunts are a bit snobbish, they are not bad people! I can accept it. Such people are suitable for this environment. I am just curious, so How can someone like you produce a beauty like you?"

"My grandfather's family was in very good condition, but later the family fell into poverty. After liberation, it was even more difficult to survive. At that time, there was no family planning. Everyone in the family just had children, and their lives were a lot of money. In addition, in the early days of liberation, the national conditions were difficult, and the family was even poorer. My grandparents could hardly support the family. In addition to my two uncles, there are five aunts in my family. If you think about the population, you will know that it is difficult to even eat Yes. Among the few children, only my father is more promising. He was admitted to university, and at school he and my mother were in love with each other. The two of them got together. My mother married my father, it was all about people, not family Conditional."

"Oh, follow your mother."

"Well, my mother is a rich girl. She is very artistic. She taught me singing and dancing since I was a child. I have a vague impression of my father, but I remember my mother very clearly."

"If your parents were still there, your life would be much easier."

"Of course, it's just that there are no ifs in life. Fortunately, I have you!"

Wang Lin shook her hand.

When the two arrived in the city of Gusu, the lights had just come on, and Wang Lin bought some local specialties and special snacks and left.

Before leaving Gusu City, Shen Xue asked: "Why don't we stay in a hotel in Gusu for one night?"

Wang Lin knew: "We need a work certificate and a letter of introduction. If we want to live in the same room, we need a marriage certificate!"

"..." Shen Xue shook her head helplessly.

Wang Lindao: "We have a car, so we're not afraid. If we really don't want to go home, we can find a corner and just spend the night in the car. I have blankets in the trunk."

Shen Xue smiled and said, "I'm afraid you're too tired from driving. Let's go home! Home is comfortable!"

Back in Shencheng, it was almost midnight.

"Are you still going home?" Shen Xue asked.

"If you don't go home, I'll sleep here with you."

"Really?" Shen Xue asked happily.

"Ok!"

Shen Xue smiled happily: "You are finally reluctant to go home? Are you willing to stay with me outside?"

"I've always been willing!" Wang Lin said, "It's just that we're not married yet. We live together, and others will gossip. This is a company, and there are many people coming in and out."

"I know." Shen Xue said, "That's why I never keep you."

Wang Lin pondered for a while, and said, "I'll look for it and see if there are any old bungalows or private buildings for sale."

Shen Xuedao: "Old bungalows? I know those houses, there are many on Wukang Road, Sinan Road, Yuyuan Road, and Tianai Road. They are all famous people's houses and former residences. There is a lilac garden among them. I heard that it was given by Li Hongzhang. The villa built by my favorite concubine Lilac. Those old bungalows are too big. It’s really deserted for me to live alone. It’s also far away from here. It’s convenient to live here, it’s closer to Tuanli, and it’s closer to Little Bailing, the main reason is that it’s also convenient for you to come and see me!”

Wang Lin smiled and said, "You still don't like old bungalows? However, it may be very difficult to buy old bungalows now. After liberation, more than 90% of bungalows were brought back to the country, and all of them were used as public housing or used as government offices. housing, or dozens of tenants living in it together.”

It is impossible to buy and sell the former residence of a wealthy family.

It is also impossible to buy or sell bungalows that the government has taken over for public ownership.

It was not until the housing reform in 1998 that the Shanghai government allowed old houses to be listed publicly and private sales were allowed.

There are about 200 to 100 old houses in Shencheng, but most of them are state-owned. There are only about [-] houses with private property rights, and no more than [-] houses with clear property rights that can be sold, and more than half of them have to be rebuilt. The money for repairing and rebuilding is no cheaper than buying a new villa.

More private bungalows are still in the hands of descendants of celebrities.

Their family made great contributions to the liberation, and the property was preserved.

But how could such a talent sell his ancestral home?

These old bungalows, which are allowed to be traded, sold for more than one million in the 90s, but no one bought them, because they were too dilapidated, and the money for renovation could buy new buildings, and everyone rushed to buy new buildings and villas.

No one expected that these old buildings would increase by leaps and bounds, reaching tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

Therefore, in the era that Wang Lin lives in now, it is not impossible to buy an old western-style house. If you search carefully, there may be one or two prodigal sons who can't keep the old house and are willing to sell it. This depends on fate and luck. up.

If it's just a pure investment, wait until ten years later to buy it, and the price probably won't rise much.

As for living, Wang Lin doesn't care. He personally thinks that apartment suites are more suitable for a family of several people to live in.

Moreover, the state is now attaching great importance to the reform of housing for employees. In the past, the construction was coordinated by the state. Recently, the power to build houses has been delegated to the hands of the unit.

Maybe starting next year, Shenfang Factory will raise funds to build a batch of unit houses. At that time, he can buy a bigger house, and even use the power in his hand to buy a few more fund-raising houses for himself.

What he was really thinking about was Shen Xue's house.

Letting Shen Xue live in the office building at the beginning was just a temporary measure, a place for her to take a temporary lunch break.

She didn't expect Shen Xue to have feelings for her, and she didn't want to move anymore, she didn't even like the old bungalows!

Wang Lin was planning in his mind and went upstairs with Shen Xue.

The two took a shower together.

"I don't have your clothes to change here!" Shen Xue laughed, "Wear mine? You should be able to wear my clothes, just wear them as pajamas for one night."

"I brought a change of clothes, and I'm ready to sleep with you!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "I have them in my suitcase."

"Really? You've thought about it a long time ago, won't you go home tonight?"

"Well, I won't go home tomorrow night. Let's go play tomorrow!"

"you do not need to work?"

"Not at work. To accompany you."

"it is good!"

Before Wang Lin came out, he had already agreed with Li Wenxiu that he would be out for two or three days.

First of all, he was afraid that if he went to the countryside, Shen Xue would not want to go back to the city that day because of family affection?
Secondly, even if he returned to the city, he still wanted to spend two days with Shen Xue.

Early the next morning, Wang Lin called Shen Xue, and the two went outside to have breakfast.

Those who work at Xiao Bailing's side never saw Wang Lin and Shen Xue come back.

"Wake up so early?" Shen Xue covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, "I only slept for a few hours."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Go home and sleep at night. Anyway, we don't need to do anything today. Let's have a good day and take a little rest in the car at noon."

"Well, that's fine, where are we going to play?"

"Let's go find a house first."

"Old bungalow? Do you really want to buy it for me?"

"Look first! There may not be a suitable one."

"I don't want it too big. I'm afraid of living alone. There are no people around that old bungalow area, and who knows who lived there before? Who died? It's scary to think about it. I heard that there are Haunted house! And there are many haunted houses!"

"I really bought you a bungalow, so I'll ask two nannies to accompany you."

"Huh? Then I don't want it anymore. I don't have any privacy. I'm not used to having servants to serve me."

"You, you won't enjoy it."

"I'm no one's concubine, and I don't have children at home. What kind of nanny should I hire? Then I'm really the eldest daughter of a capitalist."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Then let's go and see if it's okay? Just go shopping. This kind of old foreign-style houses are mostly public houses, and those who have the ability to keep their private houses until now are unlikely to be short of money. It will be sold. We are just going to see if we are lucky. If there is a suitable one, we will buy it first. If you can’t live in it, we will talk about it after we finish the renovation.”

"You're a bit domineering!" Shen Xue chuckled, "I can't even refuse, can I?"

"Shen Xue, to be serious, I want to ask you for a gold medal to avoid death." Wang Lin said suddenly.

"What is the gold medal for avoiding death?" Shen Xue asked in confusion.

"That is, if one day in the future, I make an unforgivable mistake, you must forgive me. You can be angry, you can punish me, but you can't leave me."

"Huh? What mistakes can you make? I'm curious!"

"I don't know now, that's why I called you the gold medal to avoid death, not to ask you to avoid death immediately."

"Are you talking so seriously? Then I have to think about it carefully." Shen Xue rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "You don't want to hide it from me and raise other women outside, do you?"

"No. You are my last woman."

"Ah?" Shen Xue laughed, "If that's the case, then I'll give you the gold medal to avoid death! As long as you don't keep other women behind my back, I can accept your mistakes!"

"Thank you, Shen Xue, you must remember today's words!"

"You really need it?" Shen Xue moved her face closer and smiled, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Wang Lin looked at her tenderly, without speaking.
