"Let's buy one for our son and leave it there for now. Oh, and we also need to go look at some storefronts."
Given its location in the city center, it doesn't matter where you buy a house.
"Hey comrade, we're also thinking of buying a storefront. Do you know if storefronts are for sale?"
"Of course we're selling, but the price is a bit high. Are you sure you want to sell the storefront?" The saleswoman was still a little worried about the couple's financial situation.
"Take us to have a look first." Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to buy a large set, whether it was for opening a small supermarket or selling home appliances.
"Alright, please follow us."
The woman thought that no matter what, these two had already paid deposits for two apartments, so taking them to see them wouldn't be a big deal.
A row of storefronts on the ground floor facing the street. Right now, it's just a shell.
"That's all. It will look really nice once all of this is finished and the renovation is complete. Right now, it's just a framework."
Ye Xiaoxiao followed the woman to look at several rooms before asking about the prices.
"The initial price for these storefronts is around 50,000 yuan. Since they're for business, the price will definitely be higher," the saleswoman said somewhat embarrassedly. Perhaps she was new to this industry; she had never sold anything at this price before.
"Okay, then order one for us too."
"What? Are you crazy? Where did we get so much money?" How could Li Chenyang not be shocked? The two apartments were already worth over 40,000 each. Now they want a storefront for over 100,000. Even if you sold him, he wouldn't be worth that much.
"Shut up. I don't have it, but my brother does. Let's settle this first, and I'll pay my brother back when I make money. What are you making such a fuss about?"
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't possibly tell Li Chenyang how much money she had. However, she was using her older brother as a shield for now.
The woman glanced at Li Chenyang, then looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
Because it's rare to see a woman make the decision to buy a house; usually it's the whole family or just the couple, but it's always the man who's talking.
After booking a 50-square-meter storefront, the two exchanged village phone numbers.
Then I went home. On the way back, I bought a roast chicken and some other food.
It was already late afternoon and almost dark when I got home.
Little Li Xinyue hadn't seen her mother all day, and when she heard her mother's voice, she immediately started crying loudly. She clung to her mother and wouldn't let go.
Li Zhonghao is interested in food. All five boys in the family are now surrounding Li Chenyang.
"Uncle, what did you buy?"
The third son has two sons, one named Li Zhongfei, who is five years old, and the other named Li Zhongyu, who is three years old.
The fourth son's eldest son, Li Zhongming, is five years old, and his youngest son, Li Zhongyuan, is three years old. They were both born in the same year.
The two daughters-in-law are sisters. Liu Juan helped take care of them both during their postpartum period, which saved them some trouble. There were no conflicts between them.
"Sit down, everyone. There's roast chicken. Sit down, everyone. Uncle will take it to the kitchen and cut it up. Everyone, have some." The roast chickens these days are quite substantial, quite large, not the kind that's the size of your palm.
Li Chenyang was followed by a string of little kids. The third and fourth sons and their wives had been busy growing vegetables in the greenhouse for the past two years and had no time to take care of these little ones, so they usually left them at their parents' house to play by themselves.
"What did you go to the city for today?" Liu Juan pulled Ye Xiaoxiao into the house. Li Jianguo was also at home.
"Mom and Dad, here's the thing, we're planning to buy a house in the city, and we'll transfer our family's small shop to you to manage. After all, you two are getting old, and running a small shop will allow you to easily earn some income in the future."
The convenience store is no longer the tiny shop it used to be; it's expanded by more than half. And because it's quite close to the school and located at an intersection, business is still pretty good.
"What? You're planning to move to the city?" Li Jianguo was quite surprised, not expecting that his son, who was only seven or eight years old, was already going to the city.
"Well, it's still early. I heard it will take another six months, until Hao Hao is in third grade."
However, Li Jianguo had also heard that his in-laws' side had been doing quite well in recent years. They had two capable older brothers, so they were indeed able to afford to buy a house. In addition, the eldest son and his wife had been running a shop and a repair shop in recent years.
"Do they have enough money?" Li Jianguo thought to himself that he had just borrowed 10,000 yuan from his in-laws. He didn't know if they had enough. He couldn't help them much.
"Well, you don't need to worry about that. I definitely have enough money. If not, my older brother will lend me some."
Ye Xiaoxiao wasn't foolish enough to make any overly definitive statements. She also didn't want people to think she had money to burn.
However, the couple still spent over a hundred yuan to have a telephone line installed for their small shop in the county. This way, even if they move to the city later, they can still contact their family.
In August of 1992, during the summer vacation, his family finally moved into room 606 on the sixth floor of Xingfu Community. They were among the first group to book the apartment.
So you can choose any of them. The 150-square-meter sunroom cost 58,000 yuan. The renovation alone took several months, and then another six months for ventilation before we finally moved in.
"Wow, this is our new home?" Eleven-year-old Li Zhonghao, holding his three-year-old sister's hand, went inside and kept wandering around. They explored every single room.
"It's so big and beautiful!" Li Zhonghao, who had lived in a mud house since birth, was extremely excited. He had only ever seen houses like this on television.
"Wow, Mom, this TV is different from ours."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought to herself that it was different. That was a large color TV that the system gave away after completing the task of buying a house. Now it would probably cost three or four thousand to buy.
