Chapter Eighteen: Strange Things
When Bi Lizhu returned with the fruit, the two sisters had already calmed down.
But she felt that her two daughters were unusually clingy tonight.
Moreover, he was particularly close to An Jianping, and treated her no differently than usual.
But this contrast made Bi Lizhu feel rather neglected.
That night, as the couple lay in bed, she couldn't help but ask, "Was there anything I needed to do when I went out?"
"Why are Ah Yu and Ah Xiang acting so strangely tonight?"
“What’s so strange?” An Jianping immediately disagreed.
Tonight's closeness between my two daughters is something I haven't experienced since they grew up and became more sensible.
An Jianping was a little unaccustomed at first, but once he got used to it, he couldn't wait to enjoy it as much as possible.
Naturally, he couldn't stand what his wife said.
Bi Lizhu rolled her eyes at her husband in the darkness. How could she not be surprised?
In the past, even though these two children would cut fruit without being asked, they would still put it on a fork and hand it to him.
Although neither of them forgot her.
But Bi Lizhu always felt that she was just an accessory.
In addition, he also talked with An Jianping about Jiangcun and his work, etc.
You should know what happened in the past.
Except on very rare occasions, the children seemed to have little interest in their work and lives.
When they talk about it, the children listen.
But if the conversation is too fragmented, the children will lose patience.
So the couple usually discuss things amongst themselves.
There's never anything like tonight.
Not only did the two daughters listen carefully, but Ayu actually gave her husband some advice.
Judging from An Jianping's appearance at the time, it must have been somewhat useful.
They truly deserve to be called college students.
Even though it can't be completely compared to those who have worked for so many years.
There's also a fair amount of information to understand.
The two sisters naturally had no idea what was happening in their parents' room.
Even lying quietly in bed, the sisters' excitement did not diminish in the slightest.
In the darkness, An Songxiang suddenly asked softly:
"Sis, do you think... what Dad said just now was true? Are we dreaming?"
"What do you mean, is it true or not?" An Songyu rolled over after getting out of bed, answering somewhat absentmindedly:
"Does that mean we have a lot of loans under our names?"
"Does it mean that we will all have homesteads and houses in Jiangcun in the future?"
"Or... if the land is demolished, will the compensation money also be ours?"
By the end, An Songyu's voice was barely audible.
But in the darkness, An Songxiang, who was listening intently to her words, heard everything clearly.
Her excitement suddenly subsided.
Yes, their father talked a lot tonight, but he didn't mention that this decision was made jointly by their parents.
In other words...
Even he himself probably doesn't know how Bi Lizhu will react after she finds out about this!
"Sister, do you think brother should still buy that house?" It's already April.
It had been less than a month since the couple got married.
If we don't buy this new house soon...
“These past few weeks, haven’t you taken your sister-in-law back to Jiangcun?” An Songyu lay flat on the bed.
Looking at the partition of the bunk bed: "Your holiday time is about the same as my brother's, didn't you go back to the village together?"
“It’s all the way back!” An Songxiang hesitated when she mentioned this: “But in the village, I don’t know what my brother and the others are looking at!”
"Anyway, whether it's the new district, the next village, or our village."
"My brother has taken my sister-in-law through this place time and time again."
"But they never mentioned what they wanted to see or what they were thinking along the way."
"Of course I didn't know either."
"Perhaps they need to discuss it among themselves before telling us!" An Songyu raised an eyebrow slightly.
In her memory, neither her sister-in-law nor her brother were the type to act impulsively.
Therefore, the more carefully the two observed, the more it showed that they also had some ideas.
An Songxiang remained silent for a while before replying with a particularly disappointed tone, "I guess so!"
Hearing her tone, An Songyu slightly opened her mouth, wanting to comfort her.
But for a moment, I didn't know where to begin.
After all, in An Songyu's mind, the three siblings had long since become their own families.
The days when we felt lost because we grew up and became estranged from each other are long gone.
For the next few days, An Songyu went to work as usual.
Until Friday night.
Bi Lizhu looked at An Songlin and his companion who had returned for dinner together and asked:
"Songlin, how long do you and Aying plan to go and finalize the house selection?"
Originally, they were supposed to pay for the house outright.
The procedures for buying the house can naturally be handled by An Songlin alone.
But now, buying a house has changed from paying in full to taking out a loan.
The two families agreed that the young couple would get their marriage certificate first, and then go to process the paperwork together.
To be honest, the Xuan family was naturally very unhappy about this.
This was guaranteed by An Songlin and An Jianping together.
The house was bought with a loan.
However, the young couple will not be responsible for the mortgage payments for the time being.
Even judging from the situation in Jiangcun, after An Songlin's house in Jiangcun was built.
As long as you manage the business well, it's normal to have plenty of money, let alone have to pay the mortgage.
Moreover, Anjia discussed with them that they would not buy the house with full payment for the time being.
It's not just about building houses in Jiangcun.
They're even planning to lease land in Jiangcun and start a farm stay business with the villagers!
In this way, even if the young couple takes out a loan to buy a house, it won't be a burden.
They could even get another house in Jiangcun.
With this in mind, the Xuan family naturally acquiesced to the idea of taking out a loan to buy a house.
Strangely enough, the young couple had already gained their family's approval.
But they don't seem to care much about buying a house.
As Bi Lizhu was thinking this, she saw An Songlin and the other person put down their chopsticks at the same time.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Bi Lizhu subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Before she could speak, An Songlin looked solemnly at his father:
“Dad, I’ve discussed it with Aying, and we’re going to postpone buying a house for now.”
As soon as An Songlin said this, Bi Lizhu slammed down her chopsticks.
She looked at the two of them with an extremely pale expression and asked in a deep voice:
"Songlin, is this really something you discussed with Aying? Or is it something you wanted to do yourself and specifically persuaded Aying to do?"
An Songlin looked at his mother helplessly.
He knew that his mother was particularly sensitive about his recent marriage and house purchase.
But they didn't even ask him a question, and they didn't believe him at all!
Isn't that a bit too much?
"Auntie, this is truly the result of serious discussion between Songlin and me." Xuan Ying grasped An Songlin's hand and looked earnestly at Bi Lizhu:
“During our recent holidays, we visited Jiangcun, Lincun, and the new district.”
"I've also looked at new housing developments in Rongdi and Liangdi."
"After looking at it, we realized that the Hongye Mansion we want to buy now is not the most suitable one."
“Especially the surrounding schools. There is only one primary school around Hongye Haoting, and there is no middle school at all.”
"Not to mention high school."
"However, when we were looking, we found that several plots of land, both good and unsuitable, had already been fenced off."
"It looks like a new residential area will be built soon."
"Moreover, there is a piece of land in Rongdi, which is near Rongdi Academy. Although Liangdi is a bit far from Shuncheng No.1 Middle School, it is not too far."
"If school districts are designated, I should be assigned to Shuncheng No.1 Middle School."
"When that happens, it will be much easier to get into Shuncheng No.1 High School."
