After Lu Heng finished speaking, the old man asked with concern: "How much does it cost? Do you have enough money?"
Qiao Qingqing felt warm in her heart.
When Lu Heng said he wanted to buy a house, his grandfather and grandmother would ask him the reason, but after they knew he was the one who wanted to buy a house, they no longer had any doubts.
At this time, Shi Meiyun also looked at her: "Qingqing, if you don't have enough money, just tell me! The things that were confiscated in the past have been returned to us by the state. Although I don't have cash, I still have a lot of valuable jewelry."
Qiao Qingqing put the things she had taken from the Lu family ten years ago into the items returned by the state and gave them to her mother-in-law.
Including the antiques, calligraphy and paintings that Mr. Lu treasured, all were returned to their owners.
Because of this, even though the Lu family had just arrived in Beijing, both Mr. Lu and Shi Meiyun were very confident.
After all, the Lu family still has a solid foundation!
However, they underestimated their (grand)daughter-in-law.
Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "I don't need your help for now. I'll tell you when I need money."
Shi Meiyun nodded, and the old man said nothing more.
Lu Heng also answered the question his wife had just asked: "The seller wanted 6,000 yuan, but I saw that he only had one entrance and the size was about the same as our house, so I thought it was too expensive. However, he insisted that there was no dispute about his house and many people wanted to buy it. If I wanted it, he could only give me a discount of 200 yuan at most. If I wanted to continue to lower the price, he would sell it to someone else, so in the end I agreed to buy it for 5,800 yuan."
It is now March 1977, and those returning to the city are either those who have been sent down to the countryside in the past decade, or Chinese like this seller.
Next year, there will be a wave of educated youth returning to the city.
By that time, houses will be even more popular.
Therefore, in Qiao Qingqing's opinion, being able to buy a courtyard house at this price now is a very good deal.
After Lu Zhenfeng brought the food, the family started eating and they formally announced at the dinner table that they were going to buy a house.
This is Qiao Qingqing's habit.
Although the children are still young, she hopes to let them participate in major family events from an early age.
She has no control over what the future will be like for her children, nor can she decide what kind of people they will become.
The only thing she could do was to let the children see how their family got along with each other.
Except for some things that were inconvenient for the children to know, Qiao Qingqing basically had nothing to hide from these little ones.
But at the same time, they will also educate their children on "confidentiality", telling them which things do not matter to outsiders and which things can only be passed on among family members.
Under this educational model, the older triplets have learned what "responsibility" and "responsibility" mean.
Therefore, they will take care of their younger sisters consciously, have a sense of collective honor for the family, and take the initiative to take the responsibility of educating their younger sisters, telling them what they can say and what they cannot say outside.
Although children may not be able to keep secrets, it is not a big deal even if they tell the secrets.
In the eyes of the Lu family, it is very necessary to exercise their children appropriately, even if they have to pay a price occasionally, after all, the price is affordable for them.
At this time, Qiao Qingqing took the opportunity to express her thoughts to the children.
"You five are your parents' children. Your parents will not favor any one of you. Therefore, we will work hard to buy five houses. When the time comes, you will draw lots to decide who owns the five houses."
"What mom can guarantee is that each of you will have a house of your own, but mom cannot guarantee that the size and value of each house will be the same, so we use a lottery to decide, which is the fairest way."
"You must also remember that you must never hurt the relationship between brothers and sisters for any benefit in the future. This is the only thing your mother asks of you."
