Chapter 81 What to borrow
Xin Tianyi took Wang Yuxiu back to his own place. The house was located on the outskirts of the city, and the two floors combined were a little over 200 square meters, perfectly adequate.
When the house was first built, it was one of the first single-family villas in the suburbs. The price was low, but it was located in the middle of nowhere, so many people looked at it, but few bought it.
When Xin Tianyi found out, she immediately called Wang Fang and asked her if she could lend her some money as she wanted to buy a house.
I can write an IOU and pay it off in two years.
Wang Fang asked about the price and was very surprised. This two-story house was actually cheaper than commercial housing in the city. After all, it was just in the suburbs.
But Xin Tianyi had a plan in mind. This suburb would soon be expanded. In the near future, it would be connected to high-speed rail and subway, and would completely become the new city center.
Wang Fang immediately said, "Why borrow the note? I'll transfer the money to you later so you can buy two sets."
Xin Tianyi felt that her mother's purchase of a house was like buying cabbages, so she refused repeatedly and just wanted to buy one.
Silly child, that can appreciate in value, what do you know? Wang Fang tried to convince Xin Tianyi, using her own example. The local housing prices had been rising steadily over the past two years, and she had just bought two houses, which had already appreciated significantly.
Wang Fang accurately predicted that house prices in northern cities would slowly rise, and if one did not act now, one would regret it later.
Xin Tianyi was naturally aware of the trends in housing prices, but after her rebirth, she took them with a decided indifference, believing that possessing everything was the true unhappiness. Happiness lay in having money to spend, not too much, but just enough. Therefore, she had never considered using her rebirth to speculate in real estate and become a wealthy woman. She simply wanted to teach, spend time with her family and friends, and live a peaceful life.
Unexpectedly, Wang Fang was very forward-thinking. Without saying anything, she transferred the money first.
Let Xin Tianyi buy two sets.
Xin Tianyi bought two. Because she acted quickly and early, and had the money ready, she had a vast selection to choose from. In the end, Xin Tianyi chose the two quietest apartments, leaving one empty while she renovated the other to her liking.
This renovation took almost a year.
There's no way, she has no money.
Xin Tianyi was determined not to take any more money from Wang Fang for the renovations, so he could only add some things to the house every month with his salary. He also added various other things like laying bricks and painting the walls, and it took a year to complete the project.
There are two bedrooms on the first floor. Xin Tianyi gave the master bedroom with the best sunlight to Wang Yuxiu.
Wang Yuxiu stood in the courtyard, looked up at the two-story Western-style building, and murmured, "I never thought I could live in a house like this!"
But the house was too big, and Wang Yuxiu got bored after living there for two days.
When I have nothing to do, I wander around the courtyard and then walk outside. There are very few people living in the villa area, and no one comes out very often.
At most, he would sit in his own yard. Wang Yuxiu walked from east to west and then from west to east, and could only hear a few dogs barking.
He often sighed, saying that it was too quiet and there was no trace of human life.
While I was worrying like this, someone came to my house.
When Yuan Dabao appeared in uniform, Wang Yuxiu didn't recognize him.
Standing in the yard, looking at Yuan Dabao standing outside the fence, Wang Yuxiu said, "You must have come the wrong way."
"Grandpa, it's me! I'm Dabao." Yuan Dabao quickly took off his hat and said loudly.
Wang Yuxiu finally saw it clearly, and happily went to open the door, saying with a smile: "How did you become so thin?"
"I'm busy." Yuan Dabao walked to the small table in the yard with a bunch of things in his hands and put all the things on it.
"Tianyi has classes in the afternoon, so it will take a while for him to come back." Yuan Dabao asked.
"Yes, we'll be home by six o'clock," Wang Yuxiu said immediately. "This house is a bit far from their school."
"She came back by bus?"
"No, she rides a bike, saying it's good for exercise."
"Ride a bicycle in this north wind?" Yuan Dabao rummaged through the things he brought and pulled out a large leg of lamb. He smiled at Wang Yuxiu and said, "Grandpa, I'll pickle it. We'll roast it tonight!"
Wang Yuxiu was shocked to see such a huge leg of lamb and said quickly, "How can I roast it? It's so big!"
"We have a barbecue grill at home, and we ate here in the summer. I have already bought the charcoal. After marinating it for a while, we can grill it in the evening," said Yuan Dabao.
After he finished speaking, he went to help Wang Yuxiu: "Let's go in, it's too cold outside."
Yuan Dabao knew how to cook as well as eat. He cleaned the lamb leg with ease and then marinated it. While doing so, he chatted with Wang Yuxiu, "Grandpa, this lamb leg is from Xinjiang. It tastes different from the lamb here. Try it later. It's not smelly at all."
Wang Yuxiu laughed: "Good fellow, you have to carry lamb legs from Xinjiang just to eat them?"
"Of course not. Now we're pursuing a quality life." Yuan Dabao marinated the lamb leg and washed his hands. Only then did he have time to look around the house, sighing, "This house is so nice! I almost want to be Tianyi's neighbor."
"It's pretty good, but it's too quiet and boring," said Wang Yuxiu.
By the time Xin Tianyi got home, the mutton was already on the grill. She went around a corner and bought some sesame cakes, which she hung on the handlebars while riding her bicycle. The north wind had blown them all the way, and the cakes had already gone cold.
I quickly took it down and put one on the rack to roast, but Yuan Dabao said he wanted to eat one first because he was starving.
"When will Tianlan come?" Xin Tianyi asked.
"Who knows," Yuan Dabao said. "Last time when Hong Kong returned to China, everyone was there. This time when Macau returns, it's just the three of us."
"Brother, today is Monday. The school is not closed, so how can Wei Ran come?" Xin Tianyi said with a smile, "And Bai Xue, she is also very busy today and can't come."
"Ah." Yuan Dabao sighed again, "Next time we get together, it might just be the two of us."
When Cheng Tianlan arrived, half of the lamb leg had been eaten.
As soon as he arrived, he apologized and said that he had a sudden surgery and came after it was done.
The hospital where Cheng Tianlan works is not far from Xin Tianyi's school, but the two cannot meet often. The key is that Cheng Tianlan is too busy.
She is busy every day, either in the outpatient clinic or performing surgery. Her hair is tied up at the back of her head and she can even fall asleep with her eyes closed while eating.
Wang Yuxiu was full and a little sleepy. He felt too hot sitting in front of the barbecue grill, so he went back to his room.
There were only three people left in the yard.
"Drink." Xin Tianyi said, "The rooms upstairs are all available. Don't leave if you're drunk."
"I had no intention of leaving in the first place," Yuan Dabao said. "I don't want to go back to the dorm. It's filled with the smell of stinky feet."
Cheng Tianlan also shook his head: "No, no, we still have to celebrate our return tonight."
At this time, Wang Yuxiu suddenly opened the door, stuck his head out and asked the three people who were barbecuing outside.
"I've noticed something. You two didn't bring any family members with you, and you both don't have a partner?"
Yuan Dabao immediately looked at Wang Yuxiu: "Grandpa, I have it!"
Wang Yuxiu was delighted. "Really? Does your mother know? If she knew, she would definitely be very happy."
"I know." Yuan Dabao was a little drunk and said, "But she's not happy. Look, she even arranged a blind date for me tomorrow."
