Liu Jingze said, "Of course I'm not in a hurry. I want to get it done before we have the wedding banquet. Transferring ownership of a house is not as simple as changing the name. The house is mortgaged, so the loan must be paid off first. This house originally had 14 months to pay off the mortgage. I have already submitted an application to the bank and will pay it off in one lump sum next month. When the time comes, I will prepare relevant supporting documents, such as the property ownership certificate, ID card, and household registration booklet. I may also need to have the house appraised to see how much it is worth. After paying various fees, such as deed tax and stamp duty, I can transfer ownership."
Hearing this, Su Tiantian said a little worriedly: "Then the tax will also cost a lot of money?"
Liu Jingze said, "Don't worry about these things. Dad will ask Secretary Wu to help take care of it. You and I will go to the real estate transaction center to sign. Oh, and please send me the front and back of your ID card. I think the apartment will be transferred next month."
Su Tiantian took a photo of the front and back of her ID card, sent it to Liu Jingze, and then said, "Brother Jing, are you planning to go home tomorrow?"
Liu Jingze nodded: "Yes, I plan to go back tomorrow afternoon. Do you think you are free to have lunch with me at noon? I will pick you up on the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month."
Su Tiantian said, "I should be free tomorrow at noon. I have a company party tonight, so I don't think we'll have one tomorrow at noon. I have three days of wedding leave, plus the weekend, so I want to take a five-day break starting from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I'll then look at the wedding and take care of anything that needs to be dealt with. Otherwise, my work here is about a three-hour drive from home, and sometimes it's not convenient to go back."
Liu Jingze said, "You have five days off, that's great. We can look at furniture, buy jewelry, look at wedding dresses, etc., and we can also tell you what kind of wedding photos you like to take."
Su Tiantian said, "Zhihao sent me a list of things I need to do before getting married. He said it was compiled after his girlfriend discussed it with her married cousin and best friend. It was originally meant to be used for their wedding, but he's giving it to me as a reference so I can see if there are any additions or revisions. He'll also use it as a reference when the time comes. I'll send it to you."
Liu Jingze laughed: "It seems that my brother-in-law is also in a hurry to get married."
After Su Tiantian sent the message to Liu Jingze, she leaned on his shoulder and smiled: "If Aling's brother and I hadn't been married, Zhihao would have wanted to get married a long time ago. He said that Aling's brother is now afraid of being pressured to get married."
Liu Jingze stroked Su Tiantian's long hair with his slender fingers and asked, "Tiantian, what kind of necklace did you buy? Do you like the jewelry in Liangming's store? If so, how about buying hardware from them as well?"
Su Tiantian was wearing an apricot-colored shirt with a petal collar and a black suspender skirt. She slowly unbuttoned the two buttons on her shirt, revealing a section of her collarbone. She took out the gold necklace and said, "Brother Jing, do you think this necklace looks good? Does it complement the Guanyin pendant?"
Liu Jingze's hand gently stroked Su Tiantian's face. His movements were gentle and delicate, and with a bit of affection, he kissed the mouth that had just been chirping. Su Tiantian was unable to react for a moment. After the kiss, Liu Jingze said, "It looks very beautiful."
Su Tiantian felt shy at this time, turned around, fumbled for her small bag, and then took out a jewelry box and handed it to Liu Jingze. Liu Jingze was a little surprised, but still took it and opened it. Inside was his gold necklace with a gold round blessing pendant on it.
Liu Jingze said: "Is it for me?"
Su Tiantian nodded: "It's a matter of reciprocity."
Liu Jingze immediately felt satisfied: "It looks great, please help me put it on."
Su Tiantian picked up the necklace and stood up, half bent down and carefully helped Liu Jingze put it on. Liu Jingze, who was wearing a black shirt, looked really good in the necklace.
Liu Jingze said, "Tiantian, you have to go to the party in two hours. Why don't you take a rest first?"
Su Tiantian said, "I slept for two hours in the car, but I'm not too tired. I'm going to the party. Brother Jing, what are you eating? There are no kitchen utensils here."
Liu Jingze said nonchalantly, "Ordering takeout or eating instant noodles is fine, no big deal. Tiantian, let me show you some photos." Liu Jingze opened his phone. When Su Tiantian saw the photos, she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "This is you and me when we were little. This one has a little boy in it. He's very cute. Who is he?"
Liu Jingze said, "This is my cousin, Ren Zhengxuan. Don't you remember him? He used to come to my house and these photos were taken by my uncle. But it's been so long, and even though the photos have been laminated, they've faded a bit."
Liu Jingze flipped down another photo.
Su Tiantian said: "Zhihao is also in this photo, Jing Ge, please send these photos to me. I rarely took photos when I was a child, and these photos are so precious."
Liu Jingze said, "There are eight photos of us in total. Look, this one is a photo of me, you, my cousin, and your brother. I sent these eight photos to you. When my uncle heard that I was going to marry you, he found the album and took a photo with his phone and sent it to me. It's not very clear. He said the negatives might still be there, but he was afraid that even if he found them, they might not be usable, so he looked for them first. He said he would give me the photos the next time I visit his house."
Su Tiantian said, "That's great. When are you going to visit my uncle?"
Liu Jingze sent the photo to Su Tiantian and said, "When we get married and hold the wedding banquet, we should go to my uncle's house in person to invite him to the wedding banquet. That way it will show our sincerity. I will ask Dad when it is a good time to go."
After happily saving the photos Liu Jingze sent to her phone album, Su Tiantian said, "Brother Jing, while we still have time, how about I accompany you to the supermarket downstairs to buy some daily necessities and check out some restaurants?"
Liu Jingze said, "Okay, since you are attending a dinner party in this community tonight, just sleep here. You can go back to the company's apartment tomorrow. After you buy everything here, you can come and live here anytime. Here are the keys to this house. I have made a set for you, and a resident card. I went to the property management to get an extra one. You can swipe the card to enter the community in the future." Su Tiantian took the keys and card handed over by Liu Jingze and put them in the compartment of her small bag.
The supermarket was large, overflowing with goods, but not crowded; perhaps some people were still on vacation. Liu Jingze pushed the shopping cart, and Su Tiantian noticed she had quite a lot to buy: towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, instant noodles, paper towels, plastic cups, slippers, mineral water, teacups and teapots, a small washbasin, garbage bags, and hangers. She put whatever she found suitable into the cart.
Su Tiantian said: "Brother Jing, I think we should buy a refrigerator and a washing machine first."
Liu Jingze said, "I forgot to measure the size of the refrigerator, washing machine, and stove. I don't know what size to buy. Let's measure them tonight. Should I buy a tape measure first?"
