Two years later, during the summer vacation, He Wan 3 was going to Beijing to inspect the current project.
It just so happens that Agnes Chow has a vacation during this period.
The family of three drove their private car to Beijing.
Along the way, Zhou Xiyao ate the snacks that Yun Shudai had prepared for them.
Hamburgers, fries, cookies, and small cakes should be packaged in a way that makes it difficult to tell that they are not within their expiration date.
Zhou Ting'an especially loved that hamburger.
Yun Shudai prepared a family bucket for them, with five or six hamburgers, which He Wan carried in a small bamboo basket.
While He Wan was eating, Zhou Ting'an noticed that her daughter had fallen asleep in the back.
While eating a hamburger, he said softly, "If this were available here, it would definitely sell very well."
He Wan smiled and said, "Maybe it will be available in the capital."
Zhou Ting'an's eyes lit up, showing some anticipation.
When the family of three arrived in Beijing, Aunt Gu had already cleaned the yard for them.
"Auntie, thank you for your trouble."
"There's no need for you to cook today. The family has prepared a meal, and your Uncle Gu is waiting for you."
How is Uncle Gu's health?
"I'm fine, Xiyao. Come here and let Grandma Gu hug you. Oh my, you've grown so tall. Grandma can hardly carry you anymore."
"Grandma Gu, I drink milk every day. I promised my mom I would drink more than her."
"Well done."
Zhou Ting'an looked at her daughter's playful and adorable appearance and felt extremely gratified.
When the group arrived at the compound, not only was Uncle Gu there, but also Tian Tian and her husband.
There was also Brother Gu, whom she hadn't seen for many years, and Sister-in-law Gu. It was the first time she had met Sister-in-law Gu. She was also a soldier, and their child was only two years old.
She was quite familiar with Tian Tian, but she wasn't very familiar with her partner either; she heard he worked at the Grand Theater.
Their child is already three years old, older than Brother Gu's child.
He Wan prepared gifts for them.
The children's toys were prepared with Lao Yun's help; one boy's was a water gun, and the other girl's was a doll.
Uncle Gu had a very special lighter, and Aunt Gu had a woolen overcoat.
Brother Gu's bag is a military book, Sister-in-law's is a designer handbag, and so is Tian Tian's.
His lover was wearing a leather jacket.
Looking at the handbag, Aunt Gu praised cheerfully, "Wanwan, you really know how to choose gifts. This bag is just what I wanted."
Tian Tian slung her hand over her shoulder and said, "Wanwan, is this bag a new product from Hong Kong? We don't have this style here."
"This is an overseas style. I had someone buy it for me there. They said it's a new style this year and it's very popular there. I also think it looks good, and I have one myself."
Tian Tian exclaimed, "This must be very expensive!"
He Wan smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."
"I love it, I love it so much!" Tian Tian's husband is Zhang Peng, who is now a director at the Grand Theater.
They work in the entertainment industry and love fashion. This leather jacket looks pretty good; one of my colleagues at the theater has one.
Zhang Peng and Tian Tian are classmates and know each other well. Zhang Peng is a lively and cheerful person.
She knew that Brother Gu and Uncle Zhou Ting'an were from the same social class, and that he could become completely absorbed in this book.
Sure enough, a few people have already started discussing it.
Zhang Peng really couldn't agree with his brother-in-law and father-in-law; he was completely bewildered when he heard them talking.
So I squeezed into the group of women to talk.
"Wanwan, I heard that those buildings under development in the new district are all your investments? I heard that our grand theater might move there in the future. How are you going to share the profits from those buildings?"
"Those buildings didn't generate any profit; they were given away for free."
"Oh, it's a gift? Then aren't you foreign businessmen losing money?"
He Wan smiled and said, "It's worth it. That ten-story office building not far away is mine."
Tian Tian said, "Isn't that place not far away very close to the park? That's a great place."
He Wan nodded: "Yes, I plan to rent it out and use it as an office building."
Sister-in-law Gu said, "Rent it out. Is anyone renting out the house now?"
Tian Tian said, "Yes, now that individuals are allowed to do business, they must need a place to do business."
He Wan nodded: "Yes, many people are starting companies now."
Zhang Peng quickly did the math and said, "That's a lot of money."
Aunt Gu, who was standing nearby, said, "That's right. Take our workplace, for example. There used to be a wall in front of it, but last year they tore it down and built small huts, which are all rented to vendors. I collect the rent, and the profit is quite substantial. Also, our workplace has a large vacant lot, and the leaders said they plan to develop it into housing next year, with some units going out and some being sold. Wanwan, I heard there are some commercial properties in Shanghai that are selling well."
“Auntie, the apartments are selling like hotcakes. I also invested in one of these complexes, which will be ready for occupancy next year. More than half of them have already been sold.”
Zhang Peng said, "What? So many have already been sold before the building is even finished?"
"Yes, there is a general shortage of housing in cities now. If there are houses like this, individuals who can afford them and have some savings are willing to buy them."
Aunt Gu said, "Your Uncle Gu and I won't be allocated housing by our work unit. However, the unit has an internal price, which is 20% lower than the market price."
He Wan smiled and said, "Auntie, if that's the case, you and Uncle Gu can buy a set. Even if you don't live there in the future, it will appreciate in value when you sell it."
Tian Tian said, "Mom's workplace is close to us, Mom, can we buy it?"
Zhang Peng said, "Tian Tian, we have a house."
