Just at this time, Tian Nier also came to the door.
"Zhengzheng, Dazhuang and I want to open a shop, so I hope you can help us."
Xia Ruzheng was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly want to open a storefront?"
"Hey! It's all because of the current government. There's nothing we can do. Without a storefront, you're not allowed to operate. It's okay where I am, but I can't always let Dazhuang push the cart around! I heard that some people who were caught had to pay thousands of dollars to get their carts back, and they might even be arrested. So I thought of getting Dazhuang a storefront so that everything would be more convenient and he wouldn't be chased around like a thief."
Xia Ruzheng knew that the urban management had indeed begun to regulate street vendors. Xia Ruzheng did not deny that street vendors did have some impact on the city's image, but he did not want to say much about what the higher-ups did. He only thought that the couple had finally established themselves in Guangzhou and had their current family. The old and young in the family all depended on them!
"That's no problem. How do you want me to help you?"
"I just want you to help me keep an eye out when I'm looking for a store. You're more experienced in this area. Of course, if you have money, it would be even better if you could lend me some money."
When Tian Nier said this, she was frank and didn't seem particularly timid or lacking in confidence. She was still the straightforward northern girl.
"Of course, there's no problem with looking after the store. As for borrowing money, it depends on how much you need. You know Zhichao has a project coming up lately that's going to cost a lot of money. I can still come up with a few thousand dollars, but tens of thousands might be a little more difficult."
Tian Nier showed a happy expression: "I'm satisfied with just a few thousand yuan. You know, Dazhuang and I just got a piece of land and want to build a house. We used to send back any money we had back home, so money is a bit tight."
Xia Ruzheng was very clear about Tian Nier's family affairs, because Tian Nier liked to discuss things with Xia Ruzheng, and Xia Ruzheng also tried his best to give her some good advice. After a while, Tian Nier trusted Xia Ruzheng very much. This time, it was Xia Ruzheng's idea to get a piece of land to build a house.
Xia Ruzheng said, "It's okay, I understand. Go back and see how much you need. I'll see how much I can move. If it's not enough, I can ask someone else for you."
"Okay!" Tian Nier left contentedly.
Of course, Xia Ruzheng had to tell Wen Zhichao about this matter. Whenever it came to using family money, Xia Ruzheng would tell Wen Zhichao so that he would have a clear idea of what was going on.
Wen Zhichao agreed generously: "We can still spare a few thousand yuan. If they need it urgently, just give it to them first!"
Besides Tian Nier being a warm-hearted older sister, Tian Dazhuang is also a good person. Whenever he needs something, he only needs to shout and he will come to work silently. This kind of person may not have great talent, but he is like a brick paving the road, making people feel stable and reliable.
With Wen Zhichao's approval, Xia Ruzheng felt relieved and finally lent 8,000 yuan to the couple. Although Tian Nier said that 5,000 yuan would be enough, Xia Ruzheng knew that their family still had to build a house, and borrowing 5,000 yuan would probably be tight.
After the house was demolished, there were still a lot of old bricks there. After asking Tian Nier and Tian Dazhuang, they found out that they didn't mind, so they gave the old bricks and tiles that took up a lot of space to the couple. Then they asked their construction team to spend more than ten days to help the couple build the house. Of course, they paid the construction team for their work.
Tian Nier didn't know how to express her gratitude. This was more than just saving money.
Xia Ruzheng naturally hoped that she would not be polite. Life is all about you helping me and I helping you. Unexpectedly, Tian Dazhuang quietly went to the construction site and worked for more than a month.
By the end of the year, the foundation of the entire building had been dug, and with Mr. An's approval, it was almost ready.
However, the actual construction will have to wait until next year.
Xia Ruzheng said: "I'm afraid we'll have to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in this project!"
Wen Zhichao nodded and said, "Yes, five hundred thousand is a conservative estimate. I want the best glass so that I can create the best observation deck."
Xia Ruzheng thought that with Wen Zhichao's personality, it would be fine if he didn't do it. But if he planned to do it, he would definitely want the best. Mr. An probably also supported this idea. After all, it was the old man's own design drawing.
For the old man, originally, they would have to charge a hefty design fee for designing such drawings. However, they said that they hoped Wen Zhichao would do a good job in building the building, and not build shoddy projects, or just focus on the aesthetics without considering practicality. Therefore, the two of them considered a lot in terms of building materials. This made Yang Guang run around a lot, and he even contacted foreign countries to see if they could get high-quality steel and building materials.
Speaking of which, this is also something that makes old scientists feel frustrated. The country needs it, but does not have the technology in this area, so it can only import it from abroad, and the money is earned by foreigners in vain.
This year, Xia Chunfu also spent the New Year in Guangzhou, and Xia Ruzheng didn't want to go back even more. Wen Zhichao didn't even mention this matter, so Xia Ruzheng took it as his consent.
It was Xia Chunfu who asked about this matter.
Xia Ruzheng said, "Zhichao is very busy, how can he have time to go home for the New Year? Don't worry, Dad, I know."
Xia Chunfu said, "I don't know about you, girl? You're just pretending to be dumb until he tells you, right? It's been several years since I went back for the New Year. Your mother-in-law and the others haven't seen this eldest grandson yet, right? Are you really not going to show him to them?"
Xia Ruzheng didn't want to talk about this kind of thing. Her life was perfect now. The most imperfect thing was probably her husband's family.
