Chapter 267 Changing Rooms
"If you hadn't said that the house was good, I wouldn't have set my sights on it. As a result, people went through so much trouble to plan for it, and you still wronged them. They are so aggrieved..." Lin Xiangnan hummed and climbed up as soon as he got the ladder.
"Yes, yes, you are wronged. My good daughter, I have wronged you." Hu Meili felt sick at the end of her words.
She quickly changed the subject, "Have you asked Gu Zhenhua about your plan to change houses? What if he disagrees? "
Lin Xiangnan said calmly: "I have already informed him."
It is enough to let Gu Zhenhua know about this. As for whether he agrees or not, it is not within Lin Xiangnan's consideration.
"So you've decided on this?" Hu Meili asked doubtfully, "Why do I feel like this is going so smoothly?"
"I'm so lucky, is there anything I want to do that won't go smoothly?" Lin Xiangnan asked back.
"It seems so. You have always been very lucky. But..."
"No buts. You said at the beginning that you liked it and wanted to live there. I have already mentioned buying a house to Huang Xiaogang, and he agreed. If you hold me back now, I will lose face." Lin Xiangnan looked alert.
"I didn't tell you not to buy it." Hu Meili muttered softly, "You have made up your mind, can you listen to me?"
When Lin Xiangnan came to Beijing, he spent 4,000 yuan to buy a house, and then moved all kinds of furniture and appliances into his home, each of which cost a considerable amount of money.
The expenditure of several thousand dollars directly raised Hu Meili's threshold.
If I renovate the courtyard I live in now, it will be expensive and troublesome. If I replace the house, I will only spend a thousand yuan more, which doesn't seem to be too much.
Under the influence of Lin Xiangnan, Hu Meili's bottom line is getting lower and lower.
Fearing that the night would be too long and dreams would arise, Lin Xiangnan quickly finalized the matter, "I will find time to go over the formalities with Huang Xiaogang tomorrow. We will move directly the day after tomorrow."
"So soon?" Hu Meili suggested, "Let's wait until Sunday. Your eldest brother and the sixth brother are there and can help move things."
"Since it's a replacement, we have to vacate the yard we live in now and give it to them. Huang Xiaogang can either live there himself or rent it out to relatives and friends. We are all in a hurry."
Lin Xiangnan said with emotion: "Actually, I quite like this yard now. When I have money in the future, I will definitely buy it back from Huang Xiaogang."
Although the house is in my hands, I still have to act when it's time to act.
With this attitude as a prelude, Hu Meili will not be too surprised when she finds out in the future that this house is also under Lin Xiangnan's name.
"It's enough to have a place to live. I want to buy a second one. You have so much money that it's hot to the touch."
"I have a house. But my two children don't have one yet. I have to prepare something for them?" Lin Xiangnan didn't mind his children relying on him for support, so he left them with capital to live comfortably early on.
"Yeah, and there are kids."
Hu Meili fell into deep thought. She remembered that when Lin Xiangnan persuaded her to buy a house in the first month of the year, he said that she would sell the house after graduation... Why is she thinking about buying a second house now? And she felt that Lin Xiangnan was right.
Hu Meili did not support Lin Xiangnan buying a house before.
But during this period, more and more people have returned to the city, and there have been more cases of real estate buying and selling. After seeing it so often, Hu Meili seems to have gotten used to it.
People's cognition will change with the environment.
After a few years, Hu Meili will not only not feel that she has too many houses, but will feel that she has too few houses.
So Lin Xiangnan didn't argue with Hu Meili, she just tried to fool her.
The current situation is changing so quickly that Hu Meili will be forced to adapt before long.
The new house is close by, so moving is not a problem.
Moreover, Huang Xiaogang's group was very capable and they all came to help on the day of moving.
While they were busy, Huang Xiaogang and others did not forget to explain the reason for changing rooms to the people around them who were watching the fun.
"I was knocked unconscious at the time. If Comrade Lin Xiangnan hadn't saved me, I would have died in the alley."
"I even suggested giving her the house for free, but she refused and insisted on exchanging it for the house, and even gave me another 1,000 yuan."
"I have never met such a kind-hearted person. So nice!"
Lin Xiangnan added with a noble look, "One thousand yuan, my family's salary can save up for two years, I won't be greedy for such a small sum."
Hu Meili is not a modest person. She had already started bragging with people on this street.
All three children in the family are college students, and my daughter and son-in-law both have good jobs and high salaries.
The class has been created, and it doesn't seem out of place to live in that nice house.
Hu Meili originally thought that Lin Xiangnan was extravagant enough, but after moving into the new house, she felt that when it came to spending money, Lin Xiangnan was not even on the list.
"Xiao Nan, how do I use this toilet?"
"Just press it."
Hu Meili looked surprised and said, "You actually know how to use it."
"I've seen it in the store before. I wanted to buy it before." Lin Xiangnan replied calmly.
Hu Meili secretly felt lucky that she didn't stop Lin Xiangnan from changing rooms. Otherwise, Lin Xiangnan would make trouble at home sooner or later. Lin Xiangnan couldn't stand good things and wanted them whenever he saw them. Even if she stopped him for a while, Lin Xiangnan would still make trouble later...
As for the modern furniture in the new house, developed countries have used it decades ago, but China is underdeveloped, so even now, Hu Meili finds it difficult to accept it.
"I can't sleep well at night living in this house. I'm afraid someone will come and steal my things."
"Stealing tiles or stealing toilets? No thief can carry off either of them." Lin Xiangnan sat comfortably on the sofa and bounced.
"You're right. There have been a lot more petty thefts lately than before."
Lin Xiangnan retorted, "Thieves only steal small things outside, how can they steal from your home?"
Apart from the lack of mobile phones and WiFi, her life now is not much different from that in the future.
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Lin Xiangnan took out a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, crossed his legs and started drinking it.
Even at night, Lin Xiangnan slept very soundly. After waiting for so long, he finally moved to a new home and slept on a new bed. Lin Xiangnan felt so satisfied.
She could live through hard times, but now that she had the conditions, Lin Xiangnan would of course choose a better life without hesitation.
Lin Xiangnan had adapted well to the new environment, but when he left his new home for school the next day, he looked at the gray street outside, then looked back at his room, and suddenly he felt the same way as Hu Meili.
“These two environments are so disconnected.”
When he looked down at the 28-inch bicycle he was riding, Lin Xiangnan felt even more amazed.
I always feel like I am both foreign and rustic.
