Chapter 598 True Retirement Life

The old man panicked when he saw the misunderstanding and offensive remarks in the live broadcast room. He hurriedly explained: "Dear netizens, you misunderstood! My children are actually very filial, and we live in the same community. I want to buy a big house purely for personal reasons!"

After hearing this explanation, Lin Yuan immediately spoke to comfort him: "Everyone calm down, let's listen to the old man's specific situation." He turned to the old man and asked gently: "Old man, can you tell me in detail why you want to buy a big house?"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Yuan gratefully, and then slowly said: "Actually, my children are all fine, they live in the building next door. But you know, young people have their own lives, and we old people also have our own ideas."

He paused, a longing look on his face: "I have discussed with a few old friends that we want to buy a big house and live together. In this way, we can play chess, cards, and chat together, and take care of each other. The children are busy with work, and we don't want to bother them all the time."

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room changed instantly. The previous offensive remarks disappeared, replaced by amazement and envy.

"Wow, this is real retirement life!"

“It’s so cool! Living with old friends makes me happy just thinking about it.”

"I also want to live like this in my old age, but unfortunately my friends nowadays are all busy with work."

After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. He realized that this was a very interesting way to provide for the elderly, which might resonate with more people. So he continued to ask: "Old man, your idea is really great. Can you tell me more about how you came up with this idea?"

The old man smiled and said, "In fact, this idea has been brewing for a long time. We have known each other since we were young, worked together, and retired together. Now that our children have their own families, we thought, why not make the rest of our lives more exciting?"

His eyes sparkled with excitement. "We plan to buy a large four-bedroom house, with one bedroom for each person and a common activity room. We can cook, watch TV and play chess together. If any old friend is not feeling well, the others can take care of him in time. This way, we will not disturb the children's lives and we can live happily."

Netizens in the live broadcast room were fascinated by the video and expressed their envy and support. Some began to @ their brothers and sisters, saying that they wanted to emulate this way of retirement. Some people even joked that they would discuss it with their girlfriends and do the same when they retire.

Lin Yuan watched the lively discussion in the live broadcast room and was secretly delighted. He knew that this topic had aroused strong resonance among the audience and might become a new social hot spot. He decided to continue to delve into this topic and provide more professional advice to the elderly while also satisfying the curiosity of the audience. After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Yuan's eyes sparkled with excitement. He realized that this was a great opportunity to not only demonstrate his professional knowledge, but also to inspire more people to think about the issue of elderly care.

"Old man, your idea is really great!" Lin Yuan praised sincerely, "This 'friend-style retirement' model is indeed very creative. However, choosing a suitable house still requires considering many factors. Can you tell me what specific requirements you have for the house?"

The old man nodded with a smile, "We have discussed this. First, the house should be big enough, preferably with four bedrooms or more. Second, we hope the floor is not too high, preferably with an elevator. And we hope the surrounding environment is quiet, preferably with a small garden, as we all like to grow flowers."

Lin Yuan listened and thought quickly in his mind. He knew this was a rare opportunity. "Old man, I have written down your requirements. According to your description, I have several houses that may be suitable for you." He turned on the computer and quickly called up the information of several houses. "For example, this one is located in Cuihu Garden in the east of the city. It is an upscale community. There is a five-bedroom house for sale. It covers an area of ​​200 square meters and is on the third floor with an elevator. The community has a beautiful environment and a central garden. Most importantly, the surrounding supporting facilities are complete, with supermarkets, hospitals, and parks, which is very suitable for the elderly to live in."

The old man nodded repeatedly, his eyes lit up. "Mr. Lin, this house sounds great! I wonder how much it costs?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The listing price of this house is 380 million. Considering that you are buying it together, it is not too expensive. Moreover, I can negotiate with the seller to see if the price can be lowered a little bit."

The live broadcast room was immediately in an uproar. Netizens said that the price was very reasonable, and some even began to calculate how much each person would have to pay if they bought a house with friends.

At this moment, a striking comment caught Lin Yuan's attention: "Old man, buying a big house is good, but you also have to consider the daily expenses! The water and electricity bills, property fees, etc. are not small."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he knew this was a good starting point. "This netizen asked a very good question." He looked at the old man and said gently, "Old man, have you considered the issue of daily expenses?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "To be honest, we haven't really thought about this issue carefully. Mr. Lin, can you give us some advice?"

Lin Yuan nodded and began to explain in detail: "First of all, the daily expenses of a big house are indeed higher. For example, water and electricity bills, property fees, heating fees, etc. However, considering that you are living together, these expenses can be shared, so it won't be too high relatively speaking."

He paused and continued, "Secondly, I suggest that you consider some energy-saving measures. For example, installing solar water heaters and using energy-saving lamps. This can reduce some expenses in the long run."

"Finally," Lin Yuan's tone became more serious, "I suggest that you make a detailed financial plan before buying a house. Calculate your fixed monthly expenses and set aside some emergency funds. This will prevent your quality of life from being affected by financial problems in the future."

The old man nodded repeatedly, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face. "Mr. Lin, you are absolutely right! We really should plan it well. Thank you so much for giving us so many valuable suggestions."

The audience in the live broadcast room were also impressed by Lin Yuan's professional knowledge and left messages saying that they learned a lot. Some even said they would save the video for reference when buying a house in the future.

Lin Yuan looked at the comments in the live broadcast room, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He knew that through this live broadcast, he not only helped people in need, but also demonstrated his professional ability. More importantly, he triggered people's thinking and discussion on the issue of elderly care.
