The Pentium Era - South to North

The next day, He Hongmei came to pick them up. She specially drove a borrowed Toyota Overlord so that Zhang Chen, Xiao Zhao and their whole family could sit down.

He Hongmei told them that her parents had contacted three houses for them. One was not renovated, and the other two were already renovated. The keys to two were at the property, and the owner of the third house had gone there in person. It seemed very urgent.

He Hongmei drove directly to the door of the property center and told them that the homeowner was waiting here and they should check out his house first.

Zhang Chen said yes.

Walking into the club inside the property center, He's father was chatting with a middle-aged man. When he saw them arriving, the two stood up. After introducing them to each other, He's father asked Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao if they wanted to sit down first. Come down for a cup of tea and a chat?

Zhang Chen said, let’s look at the house first.

The man seemed really anxious. After hearing Zhang Chen's words, he quickly said, "Okay, let's look at the house first."

When Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao followed He Hongmei in, Xiao Zhao's parents and aunt had already fainted when they entered the community. They thought, this place looks like something in a painting. They didn't expect it to be a place where people live. At the entrance of the property center, I saw such a high-end place, the floor was as clean as a mirror, how could I dare to follow it?

Rao was the head of Niu Township. When he arrived here, he suddenly felt timid and even spoke softly.

The villa was not far from the property center and was in the center of the community. The owner took them and a group of people to walk there. The villa here was different from Liu Ligan's Peach Blossom Land. It was not an open garden, but every household. The households are all separated by wrought iron fences.

After opening the outer courtyard door and going in, Xiao Zhao and his family were stunned by the scene of the garden inside. The garden was about more than 200 square meters, with fish ponds and rockeries inside, as well as neatly trimmed gardens that were still beautiful in winter. Green lawn.

Xiaofang pulled Xiao Zhao's lapel. Xiao Zhao looked at her. Xiaofang's face turned pale. Xiao Zhao asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaofang asked quietly: "Sister, are we going to live here in the future?"

Xiao Zhao said, yes, do you like it?

Xiaofang nodded "Yeah".

Their younger brother, who was walking behind them with the north, heard it and shouted: "I like it very much. There is a prairie here where you can do somersaults."

After saying that, he really walked away, turned somersaults on the lawn, and ran north. He wanted to imitate it, but he didn't dare to turn, so he could only roll on the ground. His brother laughed and said proudly, You can't turn it over.

Xiang Nan snorted, walked over, deliberately walked in front of his younger brother, put his feet together, raised his hands, and did a backward handspring with a "snap". His younger brother was startled, and even the adults were shocked and couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but applaud.

Xiang Nan stood still, looked at his brother and asked, "Can you do it?"

The younger brother blushed, scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I didn't see it clearly. If you have the ability, do another one."

"Okay." Xiang Nan took two steps back, "pop" again, and everyone applauded her again. Zhang Chen looked at it and knew in his heart that this must be taught by Tan Shuzhen. This is the most basic shuttlecock in their practice room. One of the merits.

The younger brother said: "No, no, it was translated by you girls."

"Shameless, shameless." Xiaofang stood on Xiangnan's side and cursed.

Xiang Nan was still unconvinced, so she said, "Then show me your boys' books and see if I know how to do it."

"I'm going to see the fish." The younger brother shouted and ran towards the fish pond. This time Zhang Xiangbei did not follow him, but followed Xiang Nan. He was probably impressed by Xiang Nan's somersault.

Leaving the children to play outside, the adults followed the homeowner into the villa.

As soon as he walked in, Mayor Niu shouted, "Oh my God, how many people can live in such a big house?"

Xiao Zhao smiled and said, Aunt, you can come and stay too.

"Okay, if I'm angry with your uncle in the future, I'll come here." Chief Niu shouted. Calling like this actually showed that she recognized this place from the bottom of her heart.

This villa has three floors. When you enter the door, you will see a two-story hollow living room with a curved staircase on the side, leading to the second and third floors.

They looked at every room upstairs and downstairs. All the rooms had been decorated. In Zhang Chen's opinion, they were mid-range decorations, but in the eyes of Mayor Niu and Xiao Zhao's parents, they were already quite high-end.

What makes Zhang Chen most satisfied is that this house must have just been renovated and no one has lived in it yet.

Xiao Zhao asked his parents, how is this place? Do you like it?

Her father was so nervous that he couldn't speak. What her mother said was the same as Mayor Niu. She asked, "Is it too big?"

That is to say, everyone likes it.

After looking at the house and walking out, I originally wanted to go to the property center to sit there again, but the sunshine outside was just right, and it was warm on my body. After the owner locked the courtyard door, everyone couldn't help but stand there and start chatting.

Zhang Chen asked the landlord if the place had just been renovated and you hadn’t moved in yet?

The landlord said yes. I originally wanted to move in after the Chinese New Year, but if I wasn't anxious for the money, I wouldn't be willing to sell.

Xiao Zhao was worried that there might be other problems in the process and asked, "Why are you so anxious to sell?"

"The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. The workers below are still waiting there. Their wages have not been paid. A bank loan that was promised has gone through. There are still several payments that have not come in. On this kind of day, everyone is worried. We are tight, and there is no place to borrow money." The landlord looked worried, Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao nodded.

The area of ​​the house is 316 square meters, and the landlord's asking price is 420,000. Zhang Chen looked at Dad He, and Dad He nodded slightly, which meant that the landlord did not raise the price randomly. Zhang Chen was originally buying something. He was a cheerful person, and he said yes, we want this house.

Zhang Chen was so cheerful that even He's father was surprised. He asked, "There are still two more buildings. I won't look at them."

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "I've seen the villas here. The architectural structures are all the same. There's no difference between looking at one villa and looking at two villas. This is it."

He turned to the homeowner and asked, "Are you driving?"

"Yes, yes, I just drove here." The homeowner said quickly.

"Then did you bring everything?"

"Take it, take it."

"Okay." Zhang Chen said, "If you are eager to wait for the money, go through the procedures now."

Zhang Chen turned around and said to Xiao Zhao, "Take your parents to go through the formalities with him, and I'll go to the primary school to find out more."

Xiao Zhao said yes.

"Why, you bought it now?" Mayor Niu was also surprised.

"Yes." Zhang Chen said, "The house is not a green vegetable. We also need to see which area has the fewest insect bites. You can tell whether the house is good or bad after walking around."

Zhang Chen's words are not bragging. You can't change the construction quality of the house. Looking at the house is just to see the decoration. Zhang Chen can't tell at a glance whether the decoration is good or bad? Although the decoration of this place is mid-range, it is well done. The most important thing is that the kitchen and sanitary ware are not from bad brands.

"Auntie, do you have any opinions?" Zhang Chen asked.

Mayor Niu quickly shook his head: "No, no, how could I have any objections to such a good place?"

As Mayor Niu said, he followed Xiao Zhao and the others. She wanted to go through the transfer procedures with them.

Dad He smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, buying a house is really like buying vegetables."

He Hongmei curled her lips and thought, what he bought was not the same as buying vegetables.

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Comparing one another will only make oneself nervous."

"That's right, that's right." Dad He smiled.

He invited Zhang Chen to sit at home. Zhang Chen said, I'd better go to the school and have a look. In two days, I'm afraid there will be no one in the school. If I miss this winter vacation, my children will not be able to study.

Dad He said okay, then you go to that girl's school. I will call her right away. Hongmei's brother-in-law has a classmate who works in the Education Committee and asks him to help contact a school. You go over to the elementary school to talk.

Zhang Chen said yes, thank you uncle!

Xiao Zhao, his parents and Mayor Niu had already left with the landlord. He's father also went back. He Hongmei was going to take Zhang Chen and the four children to the elementary school. Her sister stood there, hesitating for a long time, but she couldn't help it. , she asked Zhang Chen with a blushing face:

"Brother-in-law, did we really buy this place?"

Zhang Chen said yes, this will be your new home from now on. There are so many rooms, you can choose a room by yourself, okay?

My sister nodded quickly.

"What about me?" asked the younger brother.

"You can do it too." Zhang Chen said.

"Then I want to choose that toilet. The toilet is very high-end."

The younger brother said that Zhang Chen and He Hongmei laughed, and the younger sister went to twist his face, but he ran away, shouting as he ran, "Or I will live on the prairie."

"Come back, come back." Zhang Chen shouted.

When his younger brother came back, Zhang Chen told them, "Also, starting from next semester, you will all go to Chongqing to go to school, okay?"

The two of them nodded together, and Xiangnan and Xiangbei also nodded.

Zhang Chen told his sister that at the beginning, you may not be able to keep up with your studies. You may not know many things that your classmates know. Some classmates may laugh at you and say that you are from the countryside, but these Don't be afraid, just work hard and don't care what others think of you, do you understand?

My sister nodded.

"If someone bullies you at school, just talk to Sister Dongmei and she will beat them. Sister Dongmei used to be the bully in school."

He Hongmei said, Zhang Chen looked at her and smiled, and she said: "Why are you laughing? It's true. When I was in school, male classmates didn't dare to mess with me, otherwise He Dongmei would go to him to settle the score."

"so smart?"

"Of course, you want to try to provoke me and see if He Dongmei can find you."

Zhang Chen laughed: "Then I wouldn't dare."

Zhang Chen said to his younger brother: "You are the same, you know?"

The younger brother nodded.

"Also, we are going to your school soon, please be smart." Zhang Chen said.

"How clever?" asked the younger brother.

Zhang Chen was stunned. He couldn't answer the question. He Hongmei said, "Even if you pretend, you have to pretend like the best student in your class."

They arrived at the school. The school had already gone on winter vacation and the teachers had left, but the principal and several leaders were still there. He Hongmei asked Xiaofang to take Xiang Nan to the north to wait for them on the first floor of the teaching building. She and Zhang Chen took The younger brother went upstairs.

When they arrived at the principal's office, the principal was a woman. He Hongmei explained her purpose of visit to her in Chongqing dialect. She asked, "Are you a resident of the villa next door?"

He Hongmei said yes, she just bought a house.

"Which kid is it him?"

The principal nodded his chin to his younger brother and asked. The younger brother immediately bowed to the principal and shouted: "Hello principal!"

The principal laughed: "You are quite clever."

"What's your grade?"

"Report to the principal, I am in fifth grade."

The principal nodded. She and Zhang Chen said that if it was a normal transfer, it would need to go through the district education committee, which would take a little longer. There was another way, which I could decide on right away.

"any solution?"

"That is, if you can pay eight thousand sponsorship fees..."

"Okay, let's hand it over," Zhang Chen said.
