The Pentium Era - South to North

Next, everyone discussed how to buy a house. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao, including Mayor Niu, didn’t know anything about houses in Chongqing, so they asked He Hongmei’s parents to help introduce them.

Dad He quietly asked Zhang Chen beside him, Mr. Zhang, do you have a budget for this?

What this means is, is there any limit on how much money can be spent? Zhang Chen shook his head and said no.

Dad He understood, he raised his voice and told everyone, in my opinion, just buy it from our place. Our place is now connected by buses, and it is convenient to get in and out. In the future, the planned urban light rail will There is also a stop near our place.

"Yes, we can do it there. This villa is better than a building. If brother wants to use it, you can dig a piece of land and grow vegetables in the yard in front of and behind the house. There are several families there. I saw them all. I’m growing vegetables myself,” He’s mother said.

"How much does it cost?" asked my aunt.

"All the new houses there have been sold out, but some people have resold them. The price is a little more expensive now than when we bought it. The undecorated ones cost more than 800 square meters. The decorated ones are a little more expensive, 300 per square meter. A house of more than one square meter costs about four to five hundred thousand," said He's father.

My aunt was startled, looked at Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao secretly, and stopped talking.

Zhang Chen asked He's father, is it convenient for children to go to school there?

"Convenient." Dad He stretched his head to look at his younger brothers and sisters at the next table and said to them: "The boy goes to elementary school, right? There is a newly built elementary school nearby, and the girl goes to junior high school. Which school in Chongqing city? As long as you pay a sponsorship fee of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, you can attend. You can live on campus during the week and go home on weekends."

Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "She is now in a rural middle school and also lives on campus."

He’s mother said: “If anything happens if we live there, we’ll be right next door, so it’s easy to just call.”

Zhang Chen looked at Xiao Zhao and said to her, "Then let's go there tomorrow and have a look?"

Xiao Zhao nodded and said yes.

Xiao Zhao's parents were anxious and shook their heads quickly. Xiao Zhao's father told Zhang Chen that it was too expensive, too expensive, and it cost a lot of money.

"Brother, don't be afraid. The house there is just like money in the bank. Look, when we bought it, it was only more than 600, and now it is more than 800. We have made money by buying a house. I earned back all the interest," He's father and Xiao Zhao's father said.

When my aunt saw that both Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao agreed to buy a villa, she also thought that living in a single-family house would definitely be more comfortable than living in a building. She said:

"That's right. Keeping this money in the house is better than the IOU you need to exchange for that urea bag. Xiao Zhao, I will go with you tomorrow. Auntie will make the decision."

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao both agreed.

Next, talking about the Chinese New Year, Zhang Chen said, didn't we order a van on the 28th? Why not let him pass by? Auntie, we will ask the driver to go to the countryside to find you, your family, my uncle's family. , bring grandma, and come to Chongqing together. We will open all the rooms for you here.

We will ask this hotel tomorrow if it will be able to host New Year’s Eve dinner. If it does, we will book it here. If not, we will book it at a hotel in the city that does New Year’s Eve dinner. We will celebrate the New Year together in Chongqing and have fun together before going back. , Auntie, do you think this is okay?

Before Mayor Niu said anything, He Hongmei's parents said, "This is good, this is good. Chongqing is also very lively during the New Year."

Chief Niu said, "It's good, even your little uncle, I still want him to guard your house."

"Auntie, as my uncle said earlier, I don't even plan to live in this house anymore. If the glass breaks, just let him smash it and don't worry about him." Zhang Chen said.

Mayor Niu was still a little reluctant to part with it. She said, "That's a new house."

"Whether it's a new house or an old house, as long as no one lives in it, it's an empty house, so don't worry about it," Zhang Chen said.

Xiao Zhao bumped his knee with his knee under the table. Zhang Chen understood that what he said was a bit heartless. Not only was his aunt reluctant to part with it, I'm afraid Xiao Zhao's parents were even more reluctant to part with it. There, after all, It is their home. Before the new home is determined, or even before the heart has settled in the new place, that place is their only home.

A person can live in many places, but in his heart, there is only one home. This is a psychological coordinate that is naturally generated through subconscious and inadvertent comparisons.

In Yongcheng, even if Zhang Chen has always lived in the troupe, he will not consider the house in the troupe as his home. Only the small room at home will he consider it as his home.

And when he and Xiao Zhao got married and had Zhang Xiangbei, they retreated to their parents' home. Even if they rented at the landlord's house, they would still believe that it was their home, a home. When one person says he is going home, another person will not mistakenly think that he is going back to his parents' home. He knows that he is going back there.

When it came to going back to Yongcheng, the other party knew that he was going back to his parents' house.

This is even more true for the generation of Xiao Zhao's parents. No matter how dilapidated the home is, they were the ones who, like swallows, brought in mud and grass bit by bit to build it. It was because they did their best to build it. The greatest possibility is to create a nest for your children. Every inch of the home has their hard work. Wherever you lightly say "leave him alone", you don't have to worry about him.

Dad He said that he didn't need to worry about him. That was because their hearts were already set in Chongqing. The home in their hearts and the villa in Chongqing had become one, so he could and was qualified to say that he didn't care. Who are you, do you think you can outlaw everything if you have money?

Zhang Chen reached out under the table and shook Xiao Zhao's hand as an apology. Xiao Zhao shook it, meaning it didn't matter.

"Where's your uncle? Can you help me take a look?" Xiao Zhao asked.

Yes, Zhang Chen thought to himself, how could he forget that there are Xiao Zhao, her uncle, and her second uncle in their village?

Zhang Chen thought of a very strange thing. It seems that in many places, whether in rural areas or in cities, they are the woman's natal family, and they feel closer to her than her uncles.

In fact, this is also easy to understand. When brothers get married, there will always be reasons why their parents will support this one more or that one more. The sons will have their own thoughts, and there will also be the issue of family separation. , issues of dividing family property, issues of parental support, there are always many problems that will cause conflicts of one kind or another between brothers.

In daily reality, everyone always believes that a married daughter is just water thrown away. If you get a gift back to the family, your relationship with the family is basically over, and the division of family property will not be involved. You, those who want to come back to divide the family property after getting married, are very rare in rural areas, and in cities, you are also criticized.

It's not your turn to divide the family property, and it's not your turn to support your parents. There will be no conflict of interest between you and your brother. You can decide which brother to be closer to based on your own likes and dislikes. Many times, brothers will end up fighting each other. After breaking the blood, the sisters turned into peacemakers.

And for children, even more so, the uncles and aunts on the mother's side have no conflict of interest with your family, but in terms of relationship, they are the same as the relatives on your father's side. In the name of relatives, and there is no conflict of interest, the two parties are certainly close.

In many customs, "uncle" is given the highest status, surpassing that of uncles. This also means that since there is no conflict of interest, the uncle can drink a bowl of water evenly.

"That uncle of yours is as honest as your father." Chief Niu Xiang pointed at Xiao Zhao's father and said to Xiao Zhao, "Your second uncle is a bit more cunning."

Mayor Niu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to your village, scold you, tell your second uncle to watch, and then say I'll take your parents to my place to celebrate the New Year and take them out to play. I asked your second uncle to look at it, but he didn't dare not look at it because he was afraid that I would scold him."

When Chief Niu said this, not only He Hongmei and He Dongmei, but also their parents laughed. He Hongmei asked:

"Auntie, you are so powerful, everyone is afraid of you scolding you?"

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao laughed. Zhang Chen thought to himself, you don't know the origin of the name Niuxiang Chang.

Head Niu laughed and said: "Afraid, afraid of my scolding. Even the secretary and mayor of our township are afraid of me. If it weren't for me, Uncle Xiaozhao would have been bullied to death."

Everyone laughed, and Xiao Zhao said angrily, "I'm not afraid of you."

"Yes, yes, you are the only one in the whole township who is not afraid of me. When I was studying, you came to me crying and asked me for one yuan and two cents to buy the "Xinhua Dictionary". He said that he would not bring it with him the next day. For those who were made to stand by the teacher, my aunt only had eight cents in her pocket, and she had to run out and borrow four cents to give back to you."

Niu Xiang grew up talking carelessly, and everyone laughed again. Xiao Zhao blushed and cursed:

"Stingy guy, it's been so many years. I still remember the forty cents. I'll pay you back. I'll pay you back the forty cents later."

Chief Niu laughed, and she said yes, then I charge interest, and you have to pay me back four yuan. Oh, no, I gave you one yuan and two. I borrowed the four cents, and I still have eight cents. Woolen cloth.

"Okay, I'll pay you back twelve yuan later." Xiao Zhao shouted, and everyone laughed.

In the dead of night, the two of them were lying on the bed. Thinking of what happened during the day, Xiao Zhao felt sad again. She said to Zhang Chen, dear, what are you talking about? When you don’t have much money, every time you come back. Everyone is happy at home. Now that they have money, they even arrived in Chongqing and couldn’t even return home.

"I think we did something wrong in this matter. We harmed our parents," Zhang Chen said.

"Why did we do something wrong?" Xiao Zhaoqi asked.

"You think, we should give the money quietly, just transfer the money to the bank cards of your aunt and uncle, or just leave the money with them, so that when your parents need it, you can just come and get it from them. As a result, we remitted money through the post office, and we couldn’t fit in one remittance slip, so we needed several remittance slips.

"The rural postman is so quick to talk. Every time he takes a remittance slip and delivers mail door to door, he is broadcasting it once. This is to inform those people that this month's money has arrived, so you can hurry up and borrow it. If it’s too late, it won’t be there anymore.”

Zhang Chen said and Xiao Zhao nodded, thinking that this was really the case. Xiao Zhao sighed and said:

"Well, I'm also worried about my parents. Even if they have tens of millions, they won't be willing to spend an extra hundred. I just thought about sending more. They have a lot of money, but they are always willing to spend it. If I had known this, What kind of money should we send? They couldn’t spend all the cash we gave them in a year when we left last time.”
