Chapter 84
"How dare I."
"Having a black-hearted father like you, I really feel sorry for An An."
"What does it have to do with that kid?"
"When this child grows up and looks back, he will find that the path he has walked most often is his father's routine."
"Then are you willing to follow my routine?"
"It's too late to worry about it, what's the point?"
"Hahaha, that's enough, dear, just your words are enough."
"Well, let's not think about the future. The most important thing is to live well in the present. How about that?"
Zhong Miao touched his Adam's apple and whispered to him.
How could Pei Ze not surrender? "Okay, I'll listen to you and live a good life first, but you are not allowed to leave."
"Yeah, I'm not leaving." She moved up and kissed him on the face.
"It's time to cook the dumplings in two hours, so don't tease me."
"I want to play, and you're the funniest, so just bear with it." Zhong Miao pinched his face. His face was so handsome, and it completely suited her aesthetic taste. No wonder she never got tired of looking at it.
"You bad girl, let me bite you." Pei Ze pretended to counterattack, and Zhong Miao immediately retreated one meter away. She was so fast that if someone with poor eyesight didn't see well, they would have thought she had teleported.
"No, only I can bite you, and only I can play with you."
"Are you still being unreasonable?"
"You're just being unreasonable." Zhong Miao pounced on him like a cat, scratching him with her two claws.
Pei Ze couldn't stand this, so he grabbed the cat's paws and opened his mouth to bite them. Zhong Miao moved quickly and used the cat's head to defend himself.
Tired from playing and fighting, Zhong Miao fell asleep.
Zhong Miao was in a daze when she heard Pei Ze calling her, "Wife, get up. It's time to eat dumplings."
"Yeah." He turned over and continued to sleep.
"If you don't get up, I'll carry you over."
"Well, what time is it?"
"It's eleven o'clock, Dad and the others are back."
"Yeah." Zhong Miao sat up in a daze. Pei Ze carried her directly to the edge of the kang and sat her down. He bent down to put her shoes on and put her down jacket on.
Pei Ze didn't expect her to be able to walk on her own at all. She was dazed and fell again while walking.
He picked her up, opened the door and walked towards the main house.
The cold wind outside blew on her face, and Zhong Miao finally woke up. "Alright, I'm awake, I'm awake, put me down quickly."
Pei Ze put her down, and the noisy sounds came from the main room. The young couple pushed the door open and went in with the help of the light. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the steam from cooking dumplings, which was hot and hit their faces.
"Mother-in-law, Aunt Zhou, how much is left to cook?"
"It's done, Miaomiao, hurry inside and eat, there's a big table."
"Okay."
Pei Ze and Zhong Miao helped bring the cooked dumplings into the house. There was another round of clinking of glasses and toasts, and everyone had a happy look on their faces.
An An hasn't even eaten a few dumplings yet, but he's already thinking about setting off firecrackers. The child can't sit still anymore.
Pei Ze glared at An An, and An An became obedient, eating dumplings obediently. This child was a good eater to begin with, and now he had an even bigger appetite, eating a whole plate of dumplings.
"Dad, I'm done eating, let's go out and set off fireworks."
After the meal, Zhang Weilan and Zhou Yunshan cleared the table, and Zhong Ming and Pei Ze took out the prepared firecrackers.
When you are ready, put on your coat. Everyone has a lot of firecrackers.
It seems that the father-in-law and son-in-law have a common hobby of setting off firecrackers. Pei Ze bought a lot, and Zhong Ming bought even more. This is enough to set off for more than an hour. There are so many that Zhong Miao can't even lift them.
Several rows of red fireworks were laid out at the entrance of the courtyard. Zhong Miao and Li Tongtong took An An to play with all kinds of strange-shaped fireworks, and sighed from time to time.
As soon as it was twelve o'clock, Pei Ze lit the firecrackers at the door. The crackling sound rang out instantly. The family covered their ears and smiled at each other. On the cold winter night, there was an unconcealable warmth in their hearts. The new year has begun again.
-
Starting from the second day of the Chinese New Year, the threshold of Zhong Miao's house was almost broken down, and more and more people came to pay New Year's greetings. Zhong Miao couldn't help but sigh. Last year, except for Li Guodong's brother and sister, Erwa, and a group of terrific relatives, no one came to their house. They probably thought his family was poor.
It is true that when you are poor in a downtown area, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the village, you have close neighbors. This year, the situation is different.
By the sixth day, Zhong Miao couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Pei Ze to replace all the gifts and send them back.
Pei Ze didn't like doing this, so he asked Li Guodong and Erwa to help send it back, and from then on, he closed the door to visitors.
Li Guodong's wedding was scheduled for March, and Li Hongmei's for April. The two long-suffering daughters of the Li family were finally accepted by their husbands and wives. The old couple were so happy this time that they told everyone that their children were getting married and they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
The winter vacation is both long and short. During this time at home, Zhong Miao painted an oil painting in preparation for the spring and summer art exhibition.
In addition to painting, she also helps An An with her winter vacation homework, and her life is very leisurely.
As the holiday was coming to an end, the family returned to their small home in the city a few days in advance.
Zhong Miao had no idea what kind of surprise Pei Ze had prepared for her.
Two days before school started, Pei Zelin woke up Zhong Miao when he went out. He had something important to tell him. He was so busy being intimate with his wife last night that he forgot to tell her the serious matter.
"Wife, wake up, I have something to tell you."
"Well, go ahead." Zhong Miao didn't even open his eyes.
"Don't go anywhere today. I'm going to the factory first. I'll come back to pick you up when I'm done. Let's go out together."
"Why are you going out?" Zhong Miao didn't even open his eyes, his voice was soft and a little reluctant.
"You'll know when the time comes."
"Yeah, okay."
Pei Ze received a positive answer and he was satisfied.
-
Zhong Miao sat in the passenger seat and Pei Ze drove for more than twenty minutes.
When they arrived at the destination, he parked the car and took Zhong Miao to a small building.
Zhong Miao looked at the unfamiliar small building, with a construction site behind it. She didn't understand what Pei Ze was going to do, and her mind was full of question marks.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a large space inside with some building materials piled up.
The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa smiled as soon as he saw Pei Ze coming. He stood up and walked quickly to greet him. "Oh, President Pei, you are so welcome. Welcome, this is your wife. I've seen your show, and you have a unique temperament. I was lucky enough to see your paintings at the exhibition, and they were truly stunning."
This politeness confused Zhong Miao, and Pei Ze followed suit, "Mr. Li, what are you talking about? I'll just bring her over to take a look today. If my wife is interested, then it's a deal."
"Boss Pei is such an open-minded person. Please follow me, I'll show you the model."
"good."
Zhong Miao didn't say a word. Before she could figure out what Pei Ze was trying to say, she was pulled away by Pei Ze.
Arriving at a side hall connected to the main hall, Mr. Li invited them to look at the model. "My sales office isn't finished yet, and we don't even have a sign yet. Mr. Pei and his wife are so kind. I'll introduce it to you two. This is the model of our Hongyun Home. We're just starting out now, and when it's finished, it'll be all single-family villas and small houses."
Hongyun Home? Zhong Miao's eyes widened. She understood. "Do you have a map? I want to see the location first."
"Yes, yes. I'll get one for you right away. Please wait a moment while you take a look around." Mr. Li said and went to get the map.
"Are you going to buy a house?" Zhong Miao asked Pei Ze.
"Well, didn't you say you wanted to buy a villa? Now's your chance."
Zhong Miao was shocked. When she came here just now, there was nothing around. This place was very deserted and she didn't know the way. But when she heard the name Hongyun Home, she had an idea in her mind. If it was really the Hongyun Home in a few decades, it would be difficult for them not to make money.
In her previous life, Zhong Miao invested in a lot of high-quality real estate. Not to mention having three burrows, she even has thirteen.
This Hongyun Home is the best located old villa in the city. This area was later developed into a commercial area. Although the houses in this community are old, the location is good and the house types are also square old villas. The area is not large, but it is very spacious.
Why is it spacious despite its small area? It is because there is no basement and it only has two or three floors. Many villas built later have 3+2 or 4+1 structures, that is, villas with three floors above ground and two floors underground. There are also staggered floors, which require a lot of climbing stairs, but the insulation in winter is very poor and it is very cold.
In Zhong Miao's opinion, such a villa is just five floors of affordable housing. It is not bright at all and the floors are too high. It would be tiring to install an elevator. Moreover, there are still many villas without elevator shafts, making it impossible to install an elevator.
Besides, it is difficult for a basement to be damp. It is of little use except for parking cars. Who can go down there every day? You have to climb several floors, and the ventilation and lighting are very poor.
It is extremely difficult to find a purely two-story house like this one, as they are either old buildings with a long history. Good villas are extremely rare.
Although Zhong Miao didn't buy the house in his previous life because he thought it was too old, he really thought it was a good house.
If this Hongyun Home is that villa area, then it would be completely different. The base price of this house was five million. Although the investment value is limited, it has special living value.
Zhong Miao stared at the sand table. The more she looked at it, the more it resembled the villa. She became excited. Who wouldn’t like a big villa? Looking at the large yard on the sand table, her heart was already moved.
Mr. Li came back quickly with a map and explained to them the location and the future development direction of the land.
Zhong Miao immediately confirmed that it was the Hongyun Home, "How much is your house?"
"You are my benefactors, Old Li. The construction site has just started. I won't hide it from you. I haven't sold a single unit yet. I'm not financially well-off. Alas, this is a pre-sale property, so few people dare to buy it. But I promise that it will be completed by the end of the year."
"If you find one you like, I'll give you a big discount. Let me explain it to you first. After all, each house has a different design and price."
"Okay, tell me about it." Zhong Miao became interested.
"Hahaha, Mr. Pei is so lucky. His wife is so open-minded. Let's take a look from the front row first..."
This villa area references foreign architectural styles and has quite a few features. Zhong Miao had seen second-hand houses here before, and although he couldn't remember them completely, he had some impression of them.
Following Mr. Li's explanation, Zhong Miao was able to find the specific location of the house in her impression on the sand table. Only then did she realize that the house she had seen in her previous life was not the best location in this villa area, nor was the house type the best.
After talking about the specific location and the size of the garden, Zhong Miao took a fancy to the two units with the best location, which had large areas, large gardens, were far away from other people's homes, and were small single-family houses with sufficient privacy.
Mr. Li took out the folder next to him and showed the floor plans of the two sets to Zhong Miao. Zhong Miao liked them at first sight. These two-story villas were much better than the three-story villas next to them that she had seen before.
"How much are these two sets?"
"This unit was originally priced at 120,000, and this one was 150,000. If you reserve a room now, the lowest price is 80,000 and 100,000, which are not small amounts. You can pay in two installments, with a 30% deposit and the rest to be paid when the project is completed at the end of the year."
The 120,000 and 150,000 yuan that Mr. Li mentioned are just the starting prices, which means that he is giving big discounts. Nowadays, very few people are willing to spend so much money to buy a house.
Moreover, Qingzhou City currently has no villa products. This is the first villa park he has developed. The main purpose is to increase its reputation first. When it develops better and better in the future, people will naturally recognize him as a developer.
He is an ambitious man and is optimistic about the future trend of villas. After all, in this rapidly developing era, there are more and more rich people. As long as he becomes famous, he doesn't believe that he will not be able to sell the villas at a high price in the future.
If he wasn't a little short of funds, he would have thought of waiting for a few years after building it and selling it after the surrounding area developed. He would definitely be able to sell it at a high price. But now, he was not sure. After all, he visited so many bosses, and only Pei Ze was interested in the villa.
