Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 36 The Rising House Prices

When Josh heard that he wanted Dalton to worship Xie Zihao as his godfather, it meant that his son would join a pagan religion. Although he was not a particularly devout believer in the church, he couldn't accept the concept he had since childhood.

It was Lena, a mother who was eager to love her son, and she also thought clearly. In addition, she was born in a musical family that was not as conservative as Josh's family, so she immediately said:

"That's great! Dalton doesn't have a godfather yet, and Lance is no outsider, Josh, I'm afraid Dalton will be hurt again..."

Facing his wife's expression, Josh couldn't hold on any longer. Having a strong godfather is also a kind of support for his son's growth, and the obstacles in his heart were also forgotten.

The old father asked Xie Zihao awkwardly:

"Then what do I, Dalton, need to prepare? Am I going to board like a church school?"

After hearing this, Xie Zihao explained in a funny way:
"It's just to solve the talent problem for the child. It's not about accepting him as an apprentice. You don't need to study with me. You only need to come over to me on weekends and if you have time, let me check it regularly and study how to solve this problem."

Before he agreed, his teacher, Josh, began to worry about gains and losses, but although he felt a little pushed by the old lady Ellis and Lena, but because of the teacher who was good with Josh in his memory In addition, he also has the idea of ​​​​studying the special talents of the father and son, so he acquiesced in this matter. Anyway, he is just a godfather, and he does not have to arrange the education and growth of the other party like a father.

The Josh couple breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It turned out that they didn't ask them to send Dalton out as an apprentice, but it was like going to a private clinic to seek medical treatment. As a middle-class family, they naturally experienced this kind of thing. Therefore, the Lamberts have no obstacles in their hearts.

Lena said happily:

"Then it's decided. Today is a happy day. Everyone please stay and have dinner. It's also to celebrate Dalton becoming Lance's godson. By the way, Lance, you accept Dalton as godson, do you still need it?" A baptism or something like that?"

Xie Zihao replied:

"I don't need those, just ask Dalton to toast me a cup of tea, and then we can celebrate together!"

After all, it is just a godson, like a cheap godson, but not an apprentice, there is no need to make a fuss, and there is no need to worship the ancestor.

Naturally, everyone did not refuse, especially the two psychics, Ellis and Melinda, who rarely participated in such lively celebrations due to their own talents, and seemed very interested.

Speaking of celebrating, because the Lambert family was devastated by this incident, and they didn't have any ingredients at home, they decided to go out to eat. Lena thought that some religions would have taboos about eating, so she asked Xie Zihao:
"Are there any etiquettes and taboos in your sect? For example, are there any foods that cannot be eaten?"

Xie Zihao replied casually:
"Although our sect also worships ancestors, it's just respect for ancestors. We don't believe in any gods, but only believe in the ideas of our sect! In terms of precepts, in addition to not violating conscience, doing evil deeds that cannot be tolerated in the world, that is, You can’t betray these few rules of the sect, the others are relatively loose, and there are not too many dogmas and precepts.”

"And we don't have any taboos about eating. Only during certain large-scale ceremonies and sacrifices, in order to keep the heart and mouth clean, we can't eat big meat and irritating food. Other times are optional."

After hearing what Xie Zihao said, even Josh, who is a Protestant, couldn't help laughing:
"Sounds great, I think your sect is more of a philosophical school than a religion."

Of course, this meant that he was already inclined not to treat Xie Zihao as a heretic.

The group talked and laughed, and had a sumptuous dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant.

For western food, Xie Zihao prefers the style of countries around the Mediterranean such as Italy and Spartania. The food from Eastern Europe and Germany is also acceptable. The most unacceptable food is the food from Northern Europe and China. The originator of dark cuisine.

Of course, modern society is not 100 years ago. You can find relatively suitable food dishes in various regions. As long as you don’t deliberately choose to challenge your taste buds, you won’t starve to death.

After the celebratory dinner, the three parties prepared to leave.

Ellis, the old lady, was the first to bid farewell.

"Now that the commission has been completed, goodbye everyone, we will contact you when we have time."

The Josh family also respected the old lady who helped save their family, and thanked him several times before watching Ellis drive away.

Then there are Xie Zihao and Melinda. Xie Zihao hasn't bought his own car yet, so of course he wants to go back with Melinda's Beetle.

It’s not that the original body couldn’t afford a car, but that in the years from high school to university, because of the developed transportation, there are school buses and light rail, and the security in Tangren District is also good. Many children take the school bus or go to school by themselves.

When he went to college, he spent most of the four years going to class with his best friend's car. The two families were only one block apart, and the university campus was not too far away, so there was no need to buy a car.

Of course, part of the reason is that the original body's parents died in a road robbery, which made the original body somewhat resistant to driving.

Otherwise, at the age of teenagers in the Commonwealth, which teenager doesn't urgently want a car of his own?

After being separated from the Lambert family and getting into the co-pilot, Xie Zihao sighed:
"I didn't expect the ghost to be so close to us. Now I really have the urge to sell the house and move far away from Los Angeles!"

Melinda said while driving:

"As far as I know, weird events will happen all over the world, and Los Angeles is not bad."

"And if you want to sell the house, you must inform me. I like your house very much. Even if you want to borrow money from my dad for another loan, you must buy it."

"I'm just joking, this is an ancestral property that will definitely not be sold! And the house prices in Tangren District will rise further in the future!"

Xie Zihao was talking, but he was also complaining in his heart.

Just kidding, a fool would only want to sell the house if he knew the price of the house would increase.Moreover, the residence in Chinatown also gave him a sense of familiarity and peace of mind that he still lives in the East.

Melinda, who was driving beside her, heard what he said, and couldn't help but roll her eyes regardless of her appearance, and said exaggeratedly:
"Damn, the current housing price has already made me almost desperate, how can it go up again?"

As a psychic, Melinda's income is still very high for her age group. Since the 90s in the Federation, at least generally only gold-collar workers or middle-level managers of large companies can earn an annual salary close to [-] eagle pounds. The income is ten times that of the average worker, a proper middle class.

Put it in the East at the same time, that is, the annual salary is more than 40, and you can buy a few houses in a big city for a year.

But even though Melinda has saved tens of thousands of pounds in deposits, her favorite house has always been the Xie family, a big house with at least a second floor and a living area. It is in several prosperous areas of Los Angeles that she is optimistic about. The price of the house made her daunting. Even if she sold it with a loan, she asked about it. At least [-]% of the down payment was required.

Once the bank checks the accounts, maybe some problems will be found.

Xie Zihao thought in his heart, in the future you will understand that the housing prices in Los Angeles will definitely rise so much that you will know what real despair is.

"You know, I'm relying on the rent my parents left for the store and the room above to get me to pay for expensive private college without having to go into debt or go to college at all. So you should know the area The real estate value preservation rate is extremely high.”

Melinda, who has just graduated from university for two or three years, naturally understands these situations.

After all, competition in well-known federal private universities like Nantah University is fierce, and the tuition fees for commoner majors are sometimes more expensive than those of the top majors. Some places are actually reserved for wealthy children who want to go to prestigious schools but do not have good grades. Prepared, those who are not short of money.

And Xie Zihao is studying in this kind of major. Of course, he should be admitted by his own ability, and the cost should be much less than those rich children who come in with donations from their families. It's just that there are no scholarships and scholarships for top students like other majors. Genius' tuition-free treatment.

Then Xie Zihao gave her an analysis and said:
"In addition, have you noticed that the number of foreign immigrants in Los Angeles has increased significantly in the past two years, especially the immigrants from the east. The addition of these immigrants will undoubtedly further drive up the housing prices in Chinatown!"

Although Melinda knew that what Xie Zihao said was probably true, she still couldn't believe how far the house price could go.
