death of hope

Chapter 271 "Corporate Warrior" (187) Ordinary Life

The three of them sat down at the chic solid wood tea table and discussed in detail, took out their calculators and began to calculate house prices, handling fees and taxes.

The estate agent, Mr. William Hancock, a Mormon, quoted an unbelievably low price.

At such a price, in the crowded high-rise apartment building like a pigeon coop in downtown New Brisbane, you can only buy something that faces a dark and damp three-bedroom apartment.

At Signus [-], the same price can buy a two-story Gothic mansion with a large yard and lifetime ownership of the land.

"Wait!" Sigurdlifa's eyes lit up: "Mr. Hancock...you mean, not only the ownership of the house...this land is also ours?"

"Yes, ma'am," the realtor joked.

"Unless the star explodes or aliens drive humans away, this land will always be yours. Unlike other planets that have a 70 to 150-year title deed, your descendants will always have the right to inherit."

"This..." Sigdrifa trembled with excitement, "This is also... great, exactly what I want!"

Sigdelifa lived with her grandmother in her childhood, was bullied by creditors, worried that her children would repeat such pain, and became socially phobic because of this, and never fell in love.

Owning your own home, you no longer have to worry about rent, and you can leave real estate for your children after you die. You have unlimited visions for a better future.

"You're shaking." Lynch held his fiancée's hand: "Want to live here?"

"Hmm! It's even a dream! Plant flowers in the yard, raise a few puppies and cats..."

"It's warm and feels like home. Indeed, I'm also very satisfied, so it's decided, Mr. Hancock, please show me the contract."

"It's decided so soon? Settling the family business is a big deal, please read the following clauses...Not everyone can adapt to the life of Signus V..."

"No need, I trust you and I like this planet, so sign here and put your fingerprints on it, right?"

"I still suggest that you think carefully."

"I, a soldier, am a rough old man. I don't have the patience to read these documents. Have you brought a wireless POS machine?"

"Bring..."

"Then what are you waiting for, just swipe your card."

Lynch paid a 15% deposit with a credit card on the spot, and he had to go to the local bank to pay the full amount. With his deposit and good reputation, it was not a burden.

Meeting such a straightforward client, the real estate agent also saves worry and effort, and gets a commission commission after showing someone a house. Mr. Hancock's joy is beyond words.

Not only is the security and environment excellent, but Signus [-] is also famous for its government affairs.

The work efficiency of the Housing Authority can be called a miracle. If it is in New Brisbane, the house transfer procedures may not be completed in a week.

Everything was done quickly here, which is enough to show the integrity and efficiency of the local civil servants.

When the designer of the mansion and the original owner, Professor Busakinney, learned that his work was about to be transferred to the Federation veterans,
I offered my blessings at the first time, and attached the design drawings of the mansion and the maintenance methods of the Gothic vault in the email.

Everything went so smoothly, they only spent two days in the hotel, and the next afternoon after paying the full amount, the two moved in with their luggage.

Sigurdriefa took off her shoes and ran around barefoot,
Rolling on the plush carpet, hair, clothes, and silk stockings were covered with dust and fluff, ran to the yard, swinging on the swing, giggling at the swimming pool water, like a primary school student who just finished his summer homework.

The original owner gave away all the collections in the wine cellar. Lynch and the real estate agent stood by the window with glasses of wine and watched:

"To be honest, the first time I saw you two, I was quite apprehensive. Looking at your face, I thought you were an upstart from other places with a fierce and unreasonable personality."

"now what."

"Mr. Lynch, you are much easier to get along with than you look. I am sorry that I judge people by their appearance. Your fiancée does not have the airs of an adult. She is beautiful and has a cute personality. She reminds me of my little niece."

"Let her play like crazy, she has too many burdens and needs to be released."

"Ahem...Since the two of you have decided to make your home at Signus [-], the best way to truly integrate into the local community is to join the Mormon Church..."

"Mr. William Hancock, I didn't expect you to work part-time as a missionary in addition to being a real estate agent."

"You're joking. You don't mean to preach. It's just a suggestion. I have to remind you that for a successful man like you, joining the Mormon Church has many benefits..."

"For example?"

"It's convenient to avoid taxes, and... you can legally marry many wives."

"Hush! Be quiet, she'll shoot me dead."

"Hahahaha! Welcome, Mr. Lynch, it doesn't matter whether you join the Mormon Church or not, what matters is your character, and we will be friends from now on! Here, this is the crispy apple pie baked by my wife, please Taste, two."

"Thank you! I will definitely visit you someday!"

After staying for a few days, it was not as comfortable as I imagined. The toilet occasionally failed, and there were many places that needed repairs.

I need to adapt to the new environment. I have lived in a neighborhood with chaotic law and order for a long time, and I have forgotten the cultural exchanges in the community.

Now that he has made up his mind to live an ordinary life, he must first integrate into the circle of local Mormons, and he must also be patient.

Seeing that the house had a new owner, the neighbors in the block came to express their welcome with the food they cooked. These big families consisted of a husband and several wives, and there were too many children to count.

A boy with red hair and his younger brother with freckles were frightened by Lynch's height and appearance. Their calves were trembling, and they hid behind their mother to peek.

Lynch took out a small-scale metal space battleship model,
This is a souvenir to commemorate the great victory of the Battle of Saturn's Ring, and it cannot be bought in the market at all. The two boys immediately fought for it, and it didn't stop until Lynch took out another model.

The boy's parents thanked him repeatedly, thinking it was just a delicate toy, and if they went back and checked the value of the model online, they would be shocked.

After fighting for more than ten years, several boxes were filled with various medals and souvenirs.
Lynch has a carefree personality, he doesn't value these extraneous things, and he gives valuable things to children as toys.

The local tradition is that the new residents also invite everyone to eat home-cooked pies. As the hostess of the mansion,

Sigdrifa's cooking was tested and, without incident, a mess, overcooked or undercooked.

Out of politeness, everyone didn't say anything, swallowed it hard, and said it was delicious. Children don't know how to act, so they spit it out.

"I'm sorry...I'm so stupid..." Sigurdlifa was so ashamed that her neck turned red,
She didn't understand why, when she was in college with a scholarship every year and was a Valkyrie on the battlefield, she was stumped by a baked pie.

For Mormons who are quite traditional and conservative, it is really a shame that the hostess knows nothing about housework.

Interestingly, the local men don't seem to care much about the bad pies,
Cavalier and aristocratic blood, model body, cool and heroic appearance, blond hair and silver eyes, but those with normal orientation will inevitably take a few more glances,
These extremely conservative Mormon men seem to have forgotten the rules and regulations, their eyes are wandering on their chests and thighs,
The Mormon wives didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact they were already gnashing their teeth with jealousy, and they would inevitably complain when they went home, and let the children see a joke.
