Chapter 771 New House?

"Aunt Zhu, I don't know how to describe it." Liu Chengcai didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

"I'll show you something and you'll understand." Liu Chengcai was now in the school dormitory, and he picked up a newspaper from a thick stack of newspapers on the table.

Li Xuemei's pretty face was full of confusion.

"The person in the photo is Aunt Zhu." Liu Chengcai specially selected a newspaper with a photo.

"Oh!" Li Xuemei's eyes widened. No wonder he looked so familiar.

There have been many reports on the news and television in the past two years, but Aunt Zhu on TV and in the news wore glasses and formal clothes, and the viewers looked a little older.

"This, is this true?" Li Xuemei rubbed her eyes, unable to believe it.

"Yeah!" Liu Chengcai nodded.

Li Xuemei's mind was in a mess again. She wondered if Chengcai's father was a gigolo. Then she wondered how she could possibly have anything to do with such a person.

Li Xuemei works in administration at school, so she certainly knows how difficult it is to meet this kind of person.

Not to mention such a large research institute that makes so much money and produces so many results every year.

The newspapers reported how much foreign exchange the technology developed by this institute had created for our country. Anyway, the number was an astronomical one, and no one was surprised at all when they heard it.

I never thought that one day this kind of person would sit at the table and eat with me.

Li Xuemei went home at night and did not live with Liu Chengcai. Although they now have a marriage certificate, they have not held a wedding.

Li Xuemei tried several times that night to explain to her parents, but she didn't know how to explain.

I might as well just be a turtle and wait until tomorrow when I go to see the new house.

Li Xuemei heard her parents discussing the banquet and entertaining guests in the living room from her room, and they were quarreling quietly from time to time.

Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua decided to go to see their daughter's new house the next afternoon to see if there was anything that needed to be prepared. After all, what if there was anything missing?

When Li Xuemei heard her parents' decision the next morning, she nodded. It didn't matter if she was a coward.

After lunch the next day, Wang Hongmei drove to the school first, and then Liu Chengcai picked up Li Xuemei, and then Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunfang.

"The new house was prepared by Chengcai's father, so I just found out about it not long ago. Don't be suspicious when the two in-laws meet them." Wang Hongmei pushed the responsibility onto Liu Hai.

"It doesn't matter how big the house is, as long as I have my own house." Li Jianshe thought the house was not that great.

Wang Hongmei nodded as she sat in the passenger seat: "Let the young couple discuss their own affairs in the future."

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Chunhua also nodded.

"Chengcai, did you take the wrong way?" Li Jianshe saw Liu Chengcai turn the car towards a tall building nearby and was about to enter the parking lot.

As we were talking, the railing blocking the entrance to the parking lot opened, and we could see that there were people inside the small room next to the railing.

"Dad, that's right." Liu Chengcai shamelessly called Li Jianshe Dad.

Liu Chengcai and Zhang Chunhua immediately stared at their daughter. Seeing her keeping her head down and not saying anything, they knew it was true.

"Dad, I actually just found out about this not long ago. I've always known that my dad is very capable, but I didn't expect him to be this capable."

"This house was given to me by my father. It was newly built." Liu Chengcai calls Li Jianshe his father and Liu Hai his dad.

"The whole building!" Li Jianshe was completely stunned. Looking at this large basement with so many lights on, he wondered how much it would cost per day.

There are so many parking spaces, how much do they cost? Now the cheapest parking space on the streets of Kyoto costs 0.51 cents, and the more expensive ones cost 0.50 cents.

"Wow!" Although Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua already knew that this house might be the best house in Kyoto, as soon as Li Jianshe got into the elevator, he knew that this elevator was not cheap.

This elevator is obviously made of stainless steel, and the noise when it is running is very low.

And the elevator has a lot of space, it feels like a big elevator in a hospital.

When the elevator door opened, Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua looked at the shiny new tiles on the floor and the marble on the walls.

"There are two households per floor, but there are a few more units on the top floor, with one household per floor. That one is a bit too big, and it would feel deserted with so few people living here." Wang Hongmei took Li Xuemei's arm.

Looking at the tall, thick and solid door, it’s obvious that the workmanship is not cheap.

"Dad, Mom, come in quickly." Liu Chengcai opened the door and pulled Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua in.

"This house uses floor heating, which is heating installed under the tiles."

"This is the living room." After entering the door, there is a spacious and bright huge horizontal hall.

Li Jianshe looked at the living room with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and felt that it was about the size of a basketball court.

"I didn't know the children's father had prepared a new house, so I didn't listen to the children's opinions when designing and decorating it," said Wang Hongmei.

"This, in-laws." Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua were at a loss as to what to do, although they were both well-informed in Kyoto.

When the two stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, they discovered that the green area around the building was very large and there were walls around the area.

The two looked at each other and felt relieved when they saw that Wang Hongmei loved her daughter very much.

Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua sat on the sofa. The spacious and bright living room formed a sharp contrast with their own narrow living room.

Look at the shape of this sofa and then look at this coffee table.

The two of them visited their daughter's new house carefully, just like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. It was obvious that Liu Chengcai had only just started using the place, because he didn't know what many of the devices were and had to read the instructions to find out.

Ovens, rice cookers, induction cookers, and microwave ovens.

There are several toilets, and several bedrooms have toilets.

The bedroom is also spacious and bright, and the decoration is clean and shiny.

There are also some green plants in the room.

"Oh, I really don't know what to say." After the tour, Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua sat down and didn't know what to say.

"Since Xuemei can be with Chengcai, it is their fate. If his father is willing to give it to her, she can take it. In fact, our family has several courtyard houses in Houhai."

"I knew about these courtyard houses quite early, and Chengcai only knew about them not long ago."

"When the time comes, let Chengcai take you around." Wang Hongmei said again.

Wang Hongmei was also a little overwhelmed. She would talk about the museum matters later.

Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua nodded.

Then the two of them visited other houses in this building and found that the hardware decoration in other houses had been installed, but there was no furniture.

He also saw the one-unit-per-floor apartment on the top floor. Li Jianshe felt that the area of ​​this apartment was larger than his workshop. There was also a garden on the roof, which was full of various green plants. The garden was also a glass greenhouse.

It is also said that the first floor of the building can be used as a gym, the second floor for karaoke, the third floor for a cinema, etc. However, now except for some fitness equipment on the first floor, the rest are empty.

He also said that when he has more grandchildren in the future, he can use one floor as a playground for the children.

Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua were confused after hearing this, because the floors below were higher, and they wondered how many children they would need to have a dedicated playground here.

At the same time, Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua were very worried and afraid to renovate the house because the money came from an unknown source.

In the evening, Wang Hongmei invited Li Jianshe's family to dinner again, and this time they went to a good hotel: "The child's father has an unusual job, so he can't come to entertain the in-laws."

"My dear relatives, stop talking. I, Old Li, have learned a lot today." Li Jianshe said quickly.

Li Jianshe really wanted to ask how his relatives got so much money. He thought it was impossible that they could have embezzled it. This house would probably cost several million to build, and perhaps tens of millions including the decoration.

Who could embezzle so much money?

Besides, everyone knows that the management of the motorcycle factory is very strict.

But there is no way to ask this.

After the three of them finished their meal and returned home, they found that Li Yang had actually returned home to live.

"Dad, Mom, and sister, do you know how much this down jacket costs?" Li Yang jumped up when he saw his mother and the other two coming back.

"How much?" Li Jianshe was now mentally prepared.

"5000. There's a classmate in our class whose second uncle in Hong Kong bought him one, and he had to pay an extra two thousand to get it. It also seemed like there was some kind of points involved, which meant you had to accumulate a certain number of points for buying this brand to get this down jacket." Li Yang said.

"I got it!" Li Jianshe showed a slightly surprised expression when he heard this, then nodded.

"Dad?" Li Yang was a little speechless about his father's reaction. This is 5000. This is 5000.

"Sister? What happened to my dad?" Li Yang turned around to look at his sister.

"Just wear it if it's given to you. Is it warm?"

"It's more than warm. It's so hot in the classroom that I'm sweating. No, sister, aren't you surprised?" Li Yang reached out to touch his sister's forehead.

"Just wear it if it's given to you. Don't ask so many questions, kid." Zhang Chunhua also spoke, with a hint of impatience in her tone.

"Mom, this is 5000 yuan. I feel uncomfortable wearing it. I'm afraid it will get scratched." Li Yang also thought it was fake at first, but his classmates said it was impossible. No one in the world would dare to sell fakes of this brand. He also checked the brands of his clothes one by one, and others said they were all real.

"Then let's change to something else." Zhang Chunhua said again.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Li Yang stomped his feet hard, but was glared at by his father the next second.

"Ask your sister. Tell me, if your mother and I weren't going to see the new house today, how long would you have kept it a secret from us?" Li Jianshe looked at his daughter.

"I don't know what to say either." Li Xuemei now has something to say.

"Also, you all said that Aunt Zhu looked familiar. I asked about this. You can see for yourself." Li Xuemei took out the newspaper again.

"What are you talking about?" Li Yang was confused.

"Ah...! No wonder I said it looked familiar." Zhang Chunhua reacted immediately when she saw the photo in the newspaper.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder, no wonder!" Li Jianshe now understood. No wonder Liu Chengcai's father could give such a building.

"Yes, look at the news reports. There are more than 10 employees who received dividends of over million this year, hundreds of them received million, and even more who received hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands. This year's dividends will be several hundred million." Zhang Chunhua understood after reading the report carefully.

Li Yang quickly leaned over to take a look: "Oh, I was wondering why Aunt Zhu looked so familiar. It turns out that she graduated from the Industrial University next door to us. It is said that their school donated several teaching buildings and laboratories."

"Last year, Aunt Zhu set up a scholarship fund at their school."

"Aunt Zhu's father is an expert in my country's diesel engine field and an academician."

"Uncle Liu is Aunt Zhu's senior brother. Uncle Liu and his teacher made the first precision balance in our country back then. The neighboring Industrial University has always been leading the country in research in the precision industry because of Aunt Zhu's father. I'm also planning to apply for this major." Li Yang wanted to apply for the Industrial University, so he knew more about the school. Besides, there were also children of faculty and staff of the Industrial University in the school.

Moreover, Liu Hai's junior sister has become a celebrity. As a native of Kyoto, everyone would gossip about her, so many people in Kyoto know about Zhu Haiyang's family.

In fact, it is the same in 2020. There is a lot of gossip about all the celebrities in Kyoto, and as a native of Kyoto, you know it all.

"Don't tell anyone about this anymore." Li Jianshe felt relieved. As long as there was no problem with the origin of the house, it would be fine!

"No, are you hiding something from me?" Li Yang finally reacted.

"We went to see your sister's wedding room today. I, your father, have seen the world, but today I feel like a bumpkin." Li Jianshe said after taking a sip of water.

"Aunt Zhu is so rich, so is Uncle Liu's house an apartment building? An apartment building with an elevator?" Li Yang reacted immediately.

"It's more than just a building. The living rooms are probably as big as a basketball court. The largest house is even bigger than our workshop." Li Jianshe was very happy to think that his daughter would live in such a house in the future.

At the beginning, Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua were very satisfied with Liu Chengcai and had no objection. After all, he could stay in the university as a teacher, so there was no possibility of any problem with his character or academic performance. As for his family, they had even less to worry about!

First of all, the young couple have their own jobs and can handle everything on their own because they have come from that era.

Although Liu Chengcai came from a single-parent family, his mother worked in the township government so she shouldn't be doing badly.

So the old couple liked Liu Chengcai very much when they met him for the first time.

"That's impossible. Did you see it wrong? How can there be such a big house?" Li Yang was a little unconvinced.

"If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. Go to bed quickly and get up early to study tomorrow. If you don't do well in the college entrance examination, you'd better join the army." Li Jianshe said angrily.

I muttered to myself: Until I saw it with my own eyes today, I wouldn’t have believed that there was such a nice and big house.

Li Jianshe saw that Li Xuemei didn't say anything, so he asked, "Are you hiding something from us?"

"No, no." Li Xuemei was thinking about the museums and quickly shook her head to deny it.

I decided in my heart that after we get married, I will let Liu Chengcai explain to my parents why I have to live in fear here alone.

"If you have any problems in the future, you must tell us. Fortunately, your in-laws are kind people. If you had faced those snobbish people, how would you let your parents face you today?" Zhang Chunhua began to lecture her daughter in a bad mood.

"Yeah!" Li Xuemei lowered her eyebrows and nodded pleasingly.

Li Xuemei also wanted to say that Liu Chengcai said that he would bring her parents to live with them after they got married.

"Sister?" Li Yang felt something was wrong.

"Go to sleep, don't think too much now." Li Xuemei felt relieved.

At night, Li Jianshe and Zhang Chunhua lay in bed, looking at their own house and thinking about the house they had seen during the day. They suspected that they were dreaming.
