Tiger Police

Chapter 83 House?not a problem

"This box of grapes and two bottles of wine will add up to no more than 300 yuan."

Wang Keyi walked to the table with her things, opened the carton in front of everyone, and pointed: "Now is the peak season for grapes. I see this grape looks like a "sunshine rose". The quality is good, and the market price is about It’s 60 yuan a catty, and this box of grapes is only two catties at most.”

(Note: Kunming speaks kilograms.)
"Look at this wine again. Even if he can't afford Moutai, at least he needs a whole bottle of Wuliangye! Look, it's still in a jar. Write the word "wine" on the red paper and paste it, and it looks like something from the earthen workshop."

Su Xiaolin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, her tone became colder, and she even omitted the title: "Courtesy is less important than others. Ping Tao knows that I like grapes, and I asked him to buy this wine because my dad likes to drink it." .”

She doesn't want her beloved to be slandered casually.

Chen Jun's face was also a little ugly, but Wang Keyi's words were not unreasonable. She didn't know where to start for a while, and fell into deep thought.

Han Yuanqiang persuaded his wife from the side: "How can you say that about someone? After all, he is Linlin's boyfriend. You can't..."

"I'm doing it for Linlin's sake!" Wang Keyi interrupted her husband on the spot: "With Linlin's looks and family background, I have to find a good one no matter what. Just that little policeman, who has no money and no status, he is worthy of Linlin ?"

Su Xiaolin laughed angrily at her plausible remarks: "Biao Aunt, you are too lenient!"

"If you weren't my cousin, I wouldn't bother to care about you." Wang Keyi looked enthusiastic: "Listen to my cousin, I'll introduce you to someone another day, much better than the one you're looking for now."

She obviously had something in her words, Su Xiaolin's heart moved, and she asked with a smile: "Thank you, cousin, for worrying about my affairs, but I still like to find a boyfriend by myself."

"You should meet him anyway!" Wang Keyi was a little anxious: "Let me tell you, that man is very good, he is the vice president of a real estate company, and he looks very talented."

Speaking of this, both the mother and daughter of the Su family and Han Yuanqiang understood Wang Keyi's intentions.

Su Xiaolin decided not to talk to her anymore.

Standing up and gathering the cardboard boxes on the table, Su Xiaolin said, "I'll wash the grapes for you to eat. Mom, it's almost time, let's cook!"

With that said, she picked up the carton and walked to the kitchen.

Chen Jun hesitated for a moment, followed her daughter's footsteps into the kitchen.

I bought a lot of vegetables in the morning, the fish has been cut, and the chicken is stewed in the pot, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

Chen Jun took out a handful of leeks from the refrigerator, squatted on the ground to choose vegetables, glanced at her daughter who was standing by the pool and split the grapes into small bunches with scissors, and asked with some concern: "Linlin, your cousin's words are ugly and right. .If you and Ping Tao really want to get married, the house is a big problem."

"Mom—" Su Xiaolin dragged her voice for a long time, and complained, "Why are you saying the same thing as Wang Keyi! I've said it several times: the house is our business, we can solve it ourselves, and you don't need to worry about it."

She was so angry that she didn't even bother to call "auntie" and called her by her first name.

Chen Jun persuaded patiently: "To buy a house with a loan, your burden will be heavy in the future."

Su Xiaolin put the cut grapes into a basin and turned on the tap: "Although the housing prices in the provincial capital are a bit more expensive, they are not as exaggerated as in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The better ones are only about [-] per square meter, and we don't buy them. For a villa, only two people live in it, and a small apartment of [-] to [-] square meters is enough."

Chen Jun thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "It's true, it's very troublesome to tidy up a big house, and it takes a lot of time just to clean it."

Su Xiaolin smiled while washing the grapes: "Mom, that's how you and my dad came here back then. At that time, my dad's salary was not as high as yours, nor did you have money, and you also fell in love with my dad, and we have lived until now. "

"You child, can you compare with us at that time?" Chen Jun said angrily, "Although our wages were less than tens of dollars a month before, the unit subcontracts the house and does not need to spend money to buy it."

Su Xiaolin didn't argue, she smiled and changed the words: "You are looking at my father's character, right?"

Chen Jun was speechless, and it took a while to recover, shaking her head and smiling bitterly: "You girl..."

Su Xiaolin smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about this matter, I can make up my own mind."

Chen Jun was still a little worried: "You really like Hu Pingtao so much that you really decide to marry him?"

Su Xiaolin slowed down her movements, she immersed her fair fingers in the water basin.Looking at his messy reflection among the ripples on the water, he said seriously: "Yes."

Chen Jun continued to persuade: "I am not saying that he is not good, nor do I dislike the poor and love the rich, but I have to remind you: the work of the police is different from other professions. I work in the sub-district office and have a lot of contact with the police in the jurisdiction. Commuting to and from work is not punctual, and they have to work overtime during holidays when others rest, and they can’t take care of their family when they are busy. When you have a child, all the housework will have to fall on you alone.”

"I know." Su Xiaolin's tone was calm, her firm and strong heart was in stark contrast to her weak appearance: "I figured it out, it's him."

Chen Jun didn't persuade anymore.

She knows her daughter's temper very well, and she believes that the goal will not change, and she doesn't know who she learned from.

Su Xiaolin put the washed grapes into the Shau Kei, and wiped off the water from her hands with a towel: "Mom, I think what Wang Keyi said today may have other intentions."

Chen Jun had already chosen the chives, she leaned up and laughed in a low voice: "You can see it too?"

Su Xiaolin asked: "Is she trying to introduce someone to me?"

Chen Jun said: "Your cousin is also kind. She mentioned this to me last month, saying that she introduced a man to you."

Su Xiaolin made a funny face on purpose: "A good-looking talent, a very rich vice president of a real estate company?"

Chen Jun didn't refute: "Anyway, that's what she said."

Su Xiaolin raised her hand and stretched her waist: "If that man really has such good conditions, why didn't she introduce her to her daughter?"

Wang Keyi's daughter is two years younger than Su Xiaolin, and she is called "cousin".

Chen Jun smiled and said, "You thought about it too? So I never mentioned it to you at all."

Su Xiaolin suddenly realized: "Because you haven't responded, Mom, so Wang Keyi came today uninvited?"

"It should be!" Chen Jun neither admitted nor denied it.

"Then she must be disappointed." Su Xiaolin pursed her lips: "But I still feel unhappy. It's okay for her to come over for dinner whenever she chooses, but she chose today."

Chen Jun was annoyed and amused by her words: "You care so much about your boyfriend? I think it's better than me and your dad."

Su Xiaolin smiled and hugged Chen Jun from behind, and lay on her mother's back affectionately.

……

When he opened the study door and walked out, Su Mu had a smile on his face.

Hu Pingtao is good at Zhao style calligraphy, and Shoujin style and European style calligraphy are also very good.

He has a very good foundation in freehand Chinese painting, and it can be seen that he has practiced for several years.

In a game of Go, Su Mu held the white and won five pieces.

He could see that this young man deliberately released water, and did not deliberately strangle his own dragon on the chessboard.

The only shortcoming of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is the erhu.

But Hu Pingtao said that he can play the violin.

In Su Mu's opinion, this item is barely a pass.

He has a stable official job, eats public meals, and has a good culture... Overall, Su Mu is very satisfied.

Chen Jun and Su Xiaolin's mother and daughter prepared a table of dishes.

Sliced ​​steamed ham is placed on a plate, chicken soup is filled in a large celadon bowl, sweet and sour fish head and tail are complete, fried bean curd skin with chives looks refreshing, dried green peppers are delicious, and shredded lettuce in cold salad is exquisite with knife skills. Thin shredded carrots with bright colors.

Su Mu deliberately pulled Hu Pingtao to sit with him, and he beckoned to Su Xiaolin: "Linlin, bring the bottle of Fenjiu in the cabinet. I'm happy today, let's have a good drink."

Su Xiaolin smiled and said, "Dad, Ping Tao brought you two cans of wine, drink this first!"

"Okay!" Su Mu said happily, "Bring me to see what kind of wine it is."

Holding chopsticks in his hand, Wang Keyi pursed his lips and said, "This kind of packaging doesn't even have a production date or a trademark. If you think about it, you can tell it's loose wine."

Han Yuanqiang hastily tugged at her arm with his hand and gave a restraining wink.

Wang Keyi nudged her husband unhappily and said nothing.

Hu Pingtao saw everything in his eyes, and he turned to Su Mu and said, "Uncle Su, this is rice wine, daughter red that has been aged for several years."

As he spoke, he took the jar from Su Xiaolin, opened the mud seal, and poured a cup for Su Mu.

"This wine is good. It is golden in color and has a strong aroma." Holding the glass, Su Mu picked up a little liquid with chopsticks, and praised repeatedly: "The only shortcoming is that the storage time is short, and the juice can't hang."

"Yellow wine is better than white wine! It doesn't get hot after drinking, and it tastes good." At this point, Su Mu raised his hand to signal to his daughter: "Linlin, you and your mother should try it too."

It's time to sit down.

Su Mu was very excited and drank several glasses.

Wang Keyi was disgusted all over her face, but she was a little curious in her heart, so she took a sip from her husband Han Yuanqiang's cup, smacked her lips, frowned and said, "I thought it was some great wine, but it turned out to be similar to a drink."

The alcohol content of rice wine is far lower than that of white wine.

Su Mu was very upset when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is rice wine, which is rare in Yunnan Province, but it is very popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it can also be used for cooking."

Wang Keyi thought for a while and asked, "Cousin-in-law, are you talking about a bar?"

"Cooking wine is a kind of rice wine." Su Mu was very dissatisfied with Wang Keyi's attitude and didn't bother to explain. He said lightly, "You should read more when you have time! It's fine to say such things at home, so as not to go out and make trouble later. joke."

Literate people never swear by dirty words.

Despite some discordant episodes, the overall atmosphere at the dinner table was not bad.Hu Pingtao had a full meal and drank several glasses with Su Mulian.

Wang Keyi is not a winking person, she didn't mention the car or the house anymore.

Su Xiaolin had already identified Hu Pingtao, so Chen Jun never asked Hu Pingtao more about his family on this occasion.

Su Mu didn't pay much attention to these things. In his opinion, Hu Pingtao's previous performance was at least [-]%.This is a satisfyingly high score.

It was getting late, and it was time to say goodbye.

Su Xiaolin sent Hu Pingtao out, and the two walked slowly along the road in the community.

"Let me drive you!" She blushed slightly.

"How can you drive after drinking?" Hu Pingtao quickly stopped: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I will take a taxi back by myself."

Su Xiaolin felt a little sweet in her heart, she raised her head, put her hands behind her back, and said softly: "I deliberately tested you, it seems that you are not stupid!"

Hu Pingtao was dumbfounded by what she said: "Do I look like an idiot?"

"Of course not." Su Xiaolin said solemnly: "But you are simple and honest, this is an advantage, and I will continue to develop it in the future."

After a pause, she lowered her head and lowered her voice embarrassedly: "My mother said that to get married... you must have a house."

Hu Pingtao is very smart. Combined with what Wang Keyi said at the dinner table, he vaguely guessed something, so he said with a smile: "There must be a house! Otherwise, where will we live?"

Su Xiaolin raised her head and said seriously: "I mean, let's buy a house now! Make a down payment, and we will pay off the mortgage together. This kind of thing has to be done early, the house price is rising every year, and next year it will not be the current price. "

Hu Pingtao smiled so much that his eyes curled up, deliberately teasing her: "It seems that you can't wait to marry me?"

Such shameless words made Su Xiaolin feel ashamed and angry, and stretched out her hand to pinch his waist several times.

Her face turned redder.

Hu Pingtao pulled her into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.

"I've got the house ready, you'll like it."

Hot air gushed out from his mouth and nose. It was so warm that it irritated Su Xiaolin's skin. It was more from the surprise in the other party's words. She quickly raised her head and asked in surprise, "Is it your parents' house? Or yours?" own house?"

"My sister bought it for my parents, but they didn't want it, so they gave it to me." Hu Pingtao explained: "The townhouses in Jinyuan Peninsula are designed in the same style as villas. I'll take you there to have a look."

Su Xiaolin blinked vigorously, feeling that the whole world instantly became extremely unreal.

"...Peninsula...Jinyuan?" She tried to force herself to digest the word.

It is a wealthy area of ​​the provincial capital, and high-quality real estate has been on sale for several years.It is said that the house has long been sold out, and the housing price has been rising all the way over the years, with an average price of more than [-].

"Are you kidding me?" After a long time, Su Xiaolin, who had calmed down, was more willing to believe that this was the beautiful soap bubble her boyfriend comforted her.

"I really didn't lie to you." Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Why don't I take you there right now?"

"How big is your house?" Su Xiaolin thought for a while and asked a more practical question.

"Three floors, as well as the garage and the basement, add up to more than 600 square meters."

Su Xiaolin's eyes widened again, and she blinked in disbelief.

The house where her parents lived was already very big in her opinion, but Hu Pingtao's house was several times larger in size.
