The atmosphere was much colder than when they first met.
Zhang Pengfei and Shen Xiaolan noticed it, and Shen Xiaolan lost her desire to eat. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm a little full. I won't eat anymore."
“You don’t want to eat anymore? You just ate one,” Zhang Pengfei put four in a lunch box, and now there are three left.
"I came here after dinner, and I really can't eat any more."
Zhang Pengfei didn't force Shen Xiaolan to eat anymore after hearing that. He picked up the lunch box and said, "Then take it back and eat later."
Shen Xiaolan did not refuse. If her parents asked, she would say it was a gift from Xiangyi.
"Shall we take a walk?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Okay, let's go for a walk," Shen Xiaolan responded.
The two walked in the People's Park, both of them had something on their mind and were a little absent-minded.
"I went to look at a house with Brother Xiao this afternoon," Zhang Pengfei said "casually".
"Looking at houses?" Shen Xiaolan knew that Zhang Pengfei was interested in buying a house in the city, so she asked curiously, "Is there anyone selling a house now? What kind of house is it?"
"It's an old house. I think it's pretty good and the price is right..." Zhang Pengfei shared with Shen Xiaolan almost every detail of the house he visited today.
Shen Xiaolan thought the house was okay, but said, "Three thousand yuan is not a small amount. Do you have that much money?"
Zhang Pengfei scratched his head: "Yes, it's still a little short."
"Then how do you buy it?" Shen Xiaolan asked, "Do you need my support?"
"Support...you want to lend me money?" Zhang Pengfei was surprised.
"If you are short of money, I can lend it to you," Shen Xiaolan said, "but I don't have much money, so I may not be able to help you much."
She worked under her father as an apprentice. She had no salary, only a little subsidy. The subsidy was of course not high, only about ten yuan a month.
However, because she lived and ate at home and didn't need to spend much money, she saved a small amount of money.
Zhang Pengfei knew her situation, so it was incredible to hear her say that she was willing to lend him money.
He was somewhat touched, but still said: "Thank you, but it's not necessary. Brother Xiao and his wife, as well as my godfather and godmother, said they are willing to lend me money..."
"They actually lent you so much money?" Shen Xiaolan was also surprised when she heard it.
"They are all very good people," Zhang Pengfei agreed.
"Then you have to be nicer to them in the future," Shen Xiaolan said sincerely.
"I know." Zhang Pengfei said. He knew that Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi, and Xie's father and mother really treated him as a family member. How could he be bad to them?
"But there is one thing. I heard that a number of buildings will be built in the city and will be sold at that time," he added, "I am now hesitating whether to buy an old house or a building."
“If you don’t particularly like buildings, I suggest you buy an old house,” Shen Xiaolan said.
"Why? Do you also think that old houses will appreciate in value in the future?"
“Can old houses still appreciate in value?”
"..." Zhang Pengfei repeated what Lin Xiangyi said to Shen Xiaolan.
Shen Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this: "That makes sense, why haven't I thought about it? You should buy the old house. If it's really like what Xiangyi said, you'll make money without doing anything!"
"Okay," Zhang Pengfei grinned, "but why did you suggest that I buy an old house in the first place?"
"You've never lived in a building, so you don't know that buildings have many disadvantages," Shen Xiaolan said, "The space is small, the sound insulation is poor, and any small thing in someone's home can be heard clearly by the neighbors."
"Some buildings don't have toilets inside. To use the toilet, you have to go to the public toilet on the floor. The timid ones don't dare to go out alone at night. The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the neighbors when living in a building! If you don't handle it well, it will be really annoying to gossip about other people every day. After my eldest brother and his wife got married, their company assigned them to a building. After living there for a few months, they ran back home in despair."
Zhang Pengfei: “…” I only knew that living in a building was prestigious, but I never thought that there would be so many messy things.
…
The next day.
Lin Xiangyi woke up contentedly after a good sleep. Xie Qingxiao also woke up but hadn't gotten up yet.
The good thing about building a workshop and recruiting people is that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi don't need to do many things themselves, especially Xie Qingxiao, who had taken on more things before.
I was so busy that I became darker and thinner. I have been more idle recently and my skin has become much whiter. But why are the dark circles under my eyes so heavy? Obviously it wasn't there yesterday.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
It's strange that he can sleep well.
"...Well, I had a nightmare all night," Xie Qingxiao had to say one thing and mean another.
Lin Xiangyi woke up after hearing this: "Having a nightmare? And having it all night long? What kind of nightmare was it? Why did I have a nightmare for no reason? Is there something wrong with my body?"
Was he exhausted by the work in the workshop a while ago?
Xie Qingxiao felt relieved when he saw her gathering the people. He thought that she still had a conscience and cared about him.
"No, I'm not feeling unwell, I just had some random dreams, and I can't remember them clearly now."
Lin Xiangyi placed his hands beside Xie Qingxiao, frowned and thought for a long time, then asked suspiciously, "Xie Qingxiao, have you been worried about something recently?"
Xie Qingxiao has been acting a little weird lately, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
