Xu Cheng turned around and asked the clerk to open the door. After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Chu Tian, ​​"Brother Chu, don't worry. I will tell the clerk not to talk nonsense outside."

Chu Tian said "hmm" and walked towards Sun Long who was looking towards the stairs.

"Sun Long, talk to me?"

Sun Long reacted and nodded, "Okay."

The two came to a single room on the first floor that had just been vacated this month, and Chu Tian pointed to a chair beside him.

"sit."

After Sun Long sat down, Chu Tian looked at him and said bluntly, "You told me today that you wanted to marry Lifang, and I'm not surprised to see her react so strongly. I guess you know what Lifang went through in her hometown before, right?"

Sun Long nodded and answered honestly, "I know. Before we were together, when I confessed my love to her, she told me that she had a mental breakdown in her hometown before, so she would not go back."

Chu Tian looked at him in surprise, thinking that Wang Yanfang reacted so strongly just when he mentioned going back to his hometown to see his relatives, but she had no reaction when she mentioned it to Sun Long in person?

Sun Long saw Chu Tian looking at him, smiled and said frankly, "Brother Chu, no, Uncle Chu, I like Yanfang. I like her positive attitude every day, I like her gentle and kind heart, I like..."

"A reasonable person would know that her previous experience was due to bad luck on the man's side, so what does it have to do with her? The only thing that might be relevant is that Lifang's luck was also bad, and she met an unreasonable family..."

After a pause, she added, "But after Lifang broke off the engagement with the man, her luck improved. After arriving in Xinjiang, she had her uncle and aunt who cared about her in every way, her great-grandmother who loved her, Xinxin, Pingping, and Lele who were very close to her, and the store clerks who had a good relationship with her..."

"For the next few decades, she will still have me. I will always be with her and share everything with her!"

Chu Tian had seen too many vows of love in the future, so he was not moved by such nice words. Instead, he said calmly, "You don't care about her past experience now. Not only do you not care, you even feel sorry for her experience. That's because you like her now."

“But who can say for sure after decades?”

"Besides, you're the most promising one in your family. You've established yourself in the city's bus station through your own efforts, and your monthly salary is not low. Your parents definitely hope that you can find a partner who is better in all aspects and can help you in your career. You..."

Before Chu Tian finished speaking, Sun Long interrupted him. He looked at Chu Tian seriously and sincerely, "Uncle Chu, when I decided to pursue Lifang, I told my parents about it. Although my parents can't read a single word, they also expressed their understanding of Lifang and support for me because..."

He took a deep breath and answered, "Because my eldest sister was just like Lifang, she met the wrong person. However, she later met my current brother-in-law. So, my parents, my brothers, and my sisters all understand Lifang's reluctance to return home..."

Chu Tian looked at Sun Long in surprise. Seeing his serious expression, he thought for a moment and replied, "I'm just a cousin. I can't fully represent Lifang's parents, so I still have to say something to her parents."

Sun Long smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."

Chu Tian nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "I want to ask, what are your future plans? Do you want to rent a house forever? Or?"

Sun Long had really thought about it. He smiled and replied, "Uncle Chu, you know, our unit currently doesn't have any staff dormitories, so I've been renting a house from you. However, our unit leader told me that the higher-ups are already discussing building a staff dormitory this year. I'm not sure if that's true."

Chu Tian touched his chin. "The passenger station is going to build a residential building for family members? Why haven't I heard about it? Are they looking for the municipal construction team?"

Sun Long shook his head and answered honestly, "I don't know."

After a pause, he replied, "But I think we should contact the city construction team..."

Chu Tian chuckled, "What do you think?"

Sun Long nodded and said, "I think so because our superiors have a good relationship with the municipal construction team. Besides your construction company, there is only the municipal construction team in our city. If our superiors didn't come to you, they would definitely come to the municipal construction team."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I've saved some money over the past two years. If there's still no definite news before the spring of next year, I plan to buy a house myself. I don't have much money, and the houses around you, like Uncle Chu's, are too expensive. I probably can't afford one, but a place a little further out should be okay."

"As long as you have a plan in mind, I'll call home when I get to the company tomorrow."

Chu Tian nodded. The housing prices around their house have gone up. If they want to buy a house with a medium-sized yard in front and a good location, four or five hundred yuan would be enough. But now, let alone four or five hundred yuan, they might not even be able to buy it for seven or eight hundred yuan.

They are not fools. Seeing the good business of Chu Tian and others, they don't have the money to tear down the house and build a building like Chu Tian did, but they can carve a door out of the wall facing the street and either start a small business themselves or rent it to others. However, there are still fools. Some people see that their house is so valuable and also think about selling it.

For example, some time ago, the owner of the house next door to him wanted to sell the house. However, his family not only wanted to make money, but mainly because his daughter was deceived and got pregnant before she got married, which was a disgrace. So he didn't plan to stay here anymore and planned to sell the house.

The house next door covers an area of ​​less than 500 square meters, but has a good location. It is separated from Chu Tian's house by a wall. He asked for a high price of 1,500 yuan, and many people refused to buy it when they heard it. He thought the location was good, and Yao Xiujuan thought her store was too small, so he bargained for 1,200 yuan and bought it.

The building where she lives now is composed of two 500-square-meter courtyards combined. I remember that these two 500-square-meter courtyards only cost 1,100 yuan four years ago. At that time, Mrs. Chu thought it was a sky-high price when she heard that two courtyards cost 1,100 yuan. However, since she moved to the city and chatted with the old ladies living around her, she learned that the housing prices in the city change every day. She sighed and admired her grandson's long-term vision.

So when Chu Tian spent 1200 yuan to buy the yard next door, she didn't think it was expensive, but she thought it was cheap...

Upstairs, Wang Yanfang, lying in bed, had completely calmed down. She held Old Lady Chu's hand tightly, "Grandma, I..."

Mrs. Chu snorted and said softly, "Be good, don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore, just take a nap, okay?"

Wang Yanfang nodded and said "hmm", then slowly closed her eyes at the gentle voice of Old Lady Chu.

Old Mrs. Chu coaxed Wang Yanfang to sleep and did not leave the room until she fell asleep.
