"Don't talk about you. Wasn't I the same at first? I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to adapt to the local climate, that I wouldn't be able to get along with my neighbors, and that I wouldn't know anything in the big city. I didn't even dare to buy groceries... Now that I think about it, I feel that I was too timid!" Xie's mother laughed:
"We are all human beings, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, people in Guangzhou are not xenophobic at all. When we meet neighbors outside, they will take the initiative to say hello to us!"
"Hahaha, it's all the same." Aunt Zhao laughed, "At first I was worried about Shengnan being alone at home, and I thought about not coming. Now I'm glad I listened to Shengnan and came. People in Guangzhou are really friendly."
There is a phone at home, so she can contact Gao Shengnan at any time.
Furthermore, Gao Shengnan is now in charge of the family's business and often has to report to Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. She only needs to chat with Gao Shengnan for a few words when they report. Although they are thousands of miles apart, she can know a lot of Gao Shengnan's dynamics.
Aunt Xie said: "Business is pretty good. I heard that after the Chinese New Year, Xiao and Xiangyi will continue to open a shop!"
Mother Xie said, "Well, I don't understand that. Let them do whatever they want. We just follow them."
Aunt Xie: "Of course you and my second brother and his wife don't have to worry. Xiao and Xiangyi have prepared everything. But my Guoqiang and Xiaomei haven't yet. Our family is still living in Pengfei and his wife's house.
They will probably come over after the Chinese New Year, and it would be inconvenient for us to squeeze in with them. I wonder, if our jobs become stable, can we also buy a house here or something?"
"Sure!" Xie's mother said, "We'll be living here in the future, so we definitely need a house. And my house is very affordable. The house prices in Guangzhou will get higher and higher in the future. If you buy one now while it's cheap, it can also be used as an investment!"
Aunt Xie said, "Oh, then we must buy it! I will go to discuss it with them when I get home tonight. We should be able to afford it if we pool our money together."
Xie Guoqiang, Su Xiaomei and Aunt Xie are all workers with fixed salaries and limited wages. Of course, they cannot buy whatever they want like Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi and Zhang Pengfei.
However, they have been working for some time, and now Xie Guoqiang and Su Xiaomei's average salary is 700 to 800 yuan, so they can still afford to buy a house.
"If you don't have enough money, come to me. I have some." Xie's mother said, "Just buy it near us. If you live close to us, we can play together."
Aunt Xie smiled and glanced at Mother Xie. Mother Xie was a little puzzled: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"No." Aunt Xie smiled, "I just suddenly remembered that our two families were in such a difficult situation that we always had to borrow rice from each other. Now my family can come to Yangcheng to buy a house, and you still have some spare money to lend us for buying a house..."
Mother Xie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I am also very moved. We are really different now than we were in the past!"
"We all are." Aunt Zhao smiled while covering her mouth. After her husband died, she felt that life had no meaning. Who knew there would be such a reversal?
"My daughter Shengnan also said that when she has time to come over, she also wants to buy an apartment nearby!"
Gao Shengnan's current income is second only to Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi and Zhang Pengfei, so it is not stressful for her to buy an apartment in Guangzhou.
"Hahaha, good! That's great!" Xie's mother laughed heartily.
That night, Aunt Xie went home and discussed the issue of buying a house with Xie Guoqiang and Su Xiaomei, and got unanimous consent from the whole family.
So in the next few days, Aunt Xie asked around to see if there were any houses for sale.
Everyone in the area knew that she was going to buy a house. A week later, someone actually came to her door and said he wanted to sell his house.
Aunt Xie was overjoyed, but she was afraid that she would be cheated because she knew nothing, so she asked Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi to help her check.
Xie Qingxiao was busy with business matters, so Lin Xiangyi went to help Aunt Xie negotiate. After agreeing on the price with the landlord, she accompanied Su Xiaomei to the Housing Authority to transfer the ownership of the property with the landlord.
When it was their turn, the staff suddenly called out Lin Xiangyi's name: "Lin Xiangyi?"
Lin Xiangyi looked up and quickly recognized the person in front of her as her high school classmate: "Jiang Yingxue?"
"It's me!" Jiang Yingxue looked at Lin Xiangyi with some surprise and astonishment, "I thought I recognized the wrong person, but it turned out to be you! Wait a minute, I'll handle the formalities for your friend and hand over the work, and we can chat for a while."
Lin Xiangyi and Jiang Yingxue were not that familiar with each other. When they were in school, they were in the same grade but different classes, and they had little contact with each other. They knew each other only because the other was more famous in school.
When they met again several years later, Lin Xiangyi didn't think there was anything to talk about with Jiang Yingxue.
But since Jiang Yingxue said so, she didn't leave and found a place to sit down with Su Xiaomei.
