Chapter 101 Moving Again
University life is quite dull. Every day I go back and forth between the dormitory, teaching building and library.
After half a semester, Wen Jiajia only had a good relationship with Jiang Ruowang in the dormitory, and the others were just ordinary roommates.
But there are no major conflicts. We all worked hard to get into university, and study comes first in life. We don’t have time to form small groups.
Without a mobile phone, work or the distraction of taking care of children, Wen Jiajia devoted herself to her studies.
She is not considered a person with high IQ, but there are indeed people with high IQ in her class.
Wen Jiajia was almost exhausted during her first exam. There were 32 students in her class, and her score ranked 26th.
Can you tolerate this? Of course not!
Strangely enough, Wen Jiajia often went to buy houses around the school during that period.
I was still running around the city. Where was I going? I went to the scrap collection station and bought a lot of scrap iron to make a water bottle.
Wen Jiajia even synthesized 8 bicycles, ranging from 50% to 80% new, and sold them all within a week.
The money from selling the bicycle, plus the money from selling the water bottles and cotton cloth, made her savings exceed 1,000 yuan! You know, this amount of money can buy a house, even in Haishi.
Wen Jiajia was so happy about making money that she almost forgot about studying, and was hit hard by the ranking.
She also has to save face and set a good example for the two sisters Wen Chun and Wen Xuan.
The two sisters always ranked in the top three in the class in every exam and never dropped out. She couldn't be ranked in the bottom three, right? Otherwise, she would feel guilty when she taught the two sisters to study hard.
Wen Jiajia learned from her mistakes and started to focus on her studies. On average, she spent two hours in the library every day, and she was able to catch up on the lessons she had missed.
By the time of the final exam, she ranked eighth in the class, which was a reward for her hard work for half a semester.
Early July, the end of term holiday.
Wen Jiajia went home alone, carrying a bag of this year's popular clothes from Haishi.
The colors of clothes have become bolder recently. Finally, the whole street is not filled with blue, green, black and white.
When Wen Jiajia got home, she was wearing a yellow shirt with a knot at the hem, which looked quite stylish. Unfortunately, she didn't have any jeans to buy at that time, as this kind of shirt would look better with jeans.
When they got home, Wei Dai and his friends were overjoyed.
Wei Dai was actually fine, as he had made six trips to Haishi this semester. Fortunately, Wen Jiajia had money in her pocket, and reselling synthetic items was more profitable than she had imagined, so she didn't care about the small price of the train ticket.
Wen Chun and Wen Xuan were so happy that they jumped up and surrounded Wen Jiajia, chattering non-stop.
Wen Xiaomei looked at her with a strange look and then burst into tears.
Wei Dai would sometimes take his younger sister to school so that she would not fail to recognize her mother.
After the reunion dinner, Wen Xuan complained: "Aunt, my uncle-in-law always comes to see you from Monday to Saturday, and I can't go with him."
Wen Jiajia reluctantly put down her chopsticks, rubbed her round belly and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Your uncle's rest time is irregular."
The food at home is so delicious. My cousin's cooking skills have improved. Now the food she cooks is almost as good as those in state-owned restaurants. Wen Jiajia thinks she needs to raise her cousin's salary.
In fact, when she had her salary increased previously, she had also given her aunt a raise. Now that she is not at home, her aunt has to spend more time and effort to take care of three children, so she has to raise her salary further.
Wen Xuan pouted: "But I miss you so much."
"My vacation time is the same as yours now, so I can be with you for more than a month."
Wen Jiajia actually thought about letting her two children transfer to Haishi, but because it was too troublesome, and she would probably have to come back after graduation, she gave up the idea.
night.
Wen Jiajia, who finally slept in a big bed again after several months, was so comfortable that her eyes were about to close. She moaned and groaned, then rolled over and over in the bed.
"It's so comfortable! You don't know how uncomfortable I was with the bed in the dormitory during the first half month of school. I couldn't even stretch out!"
She stretched out her limbs on the bed and lay in a "big" shape.
He added: "If the school had not prohibited it, I would have thought about buying a house and living outside. Well, forget about the bed, I'll get used to it even if it's not suitable. It's just the bathhouse for taking a bath..."
Wen Jiajia shook her head and said, "I just can't adapt. Especially in the summer, I have to take a shower every day and fetch water every day. It's still more comfortable at home."
Wei Dai was sitting at the desk reading a book, scratching his ears and cheeks.
It's a changing situation. Last year it was Wen Jiajia who was tortured there, and this year it's Wei Dai's turn.
After hearing what she said, Wei Dai put down the pen in his hand and turned around and said, "How about I go with you to look for a house when school starts and see if we can buy one. Even if we can't live there, we can still go there to take a shower on weekdays."
Wen Jiajia was stunned. That’s true.
"Besides, you always say that the sooner you buy, the sooner you can enjoy it. Things like a house will not go bad if you buy it and leave it there, so you don't have to move out like you at the end of the school year. Also, buying early and renovating early can help get rid of the furniture smell," Wei Dai added.
Wen Jiajia's eyes gradually lit up, and suddenly she sat up straight: "Speaking of houses, I've picked four. Two are courtyards, and two are buildings."
Wei Dailai became interested: "What do you mean?"
Wen Jiajia: "One of the courtyards is 168 square meters, and the other is 120 square meters. One is 5 minutes away from the school, and the other is 10 minutes. The courtyard 5 minutes away is not really a courtyard, but a small western-style building, but it is a small western-style building built with blue bricks, which is a bit foreign and a bit old. If you buy this one, you have to renovate the whole house, because the outside looks okay, but when you walk in, the wooden floor creaks and it is easy for mice to crawl in."
"What about the other set?"
"The other one is just an ordinary yard, and the ownership is a little unclear. But it's cheaper. The front one is priced at 2,800, and the back one is 1,500."
It’s much cheaper!
Wen Jiajia continued to talk about the suites: "The other two suites are in our school's family compound, just on different floors. One is 98 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The other is 118 square meters, also with three bedrooms and two living rooms. However, the latter one can be divided into four bedrooms. But there is also a disadvantage, that is, you have to use the public toilet. The price of the two suites is 1180 for one and 1350 for the other."
“…It’s almost like a bungalow!”
Wen Jiajia: "What do you think? The most popular property right now is a building."
Wei Dai thought for a moment and said, "For the same price, I still think a bungalow is better."
Wen Jiajia laughed “hahahaha” and lay on the bed like a shrimp: “You finally think that the bungalow is better than the building?”
Wei Dai said stubbornly: "I'm just talking about the same price situation."
Then he changed the subject abruptly: "Which house do you think is good?"
"Of course I think the small western-style building is good. It's just expensive, and the decoration costs must be expensive too. The small western-style building has three floors. Just imagine the decoration cost..." It will empty my pockets.
The latter sentence was spoken in a low voice.
While Wen Jiajia was studying hard, she didn't actually give up selling things completely, it was just that the frequency of selling things decreased significantly.
And most of the items sold are bicycles and watches, both of which can be sold at high prices.
So the money saved this semester increased from 1,000 to 3,800, which really made Wen Jiajia realize what it means to make money faster than robbing money.
Three thousand eight hundred! Her and Wei Dai’s annual salary combined was less than three thousand eight hundred, and it was quite far away.
Wen Jiajia was afraid that she would be robbed when she was returning by train!
Wei Dai thought about it and said, "If possible, you should buy a small western-style house. It's close to your school and has a large area. Isn't the reason we buy houses for convenience?"
The third daughter in the family would need at least three rooms when she grew up. Add in the room for the couple, and it would be four. If the cousin hadn't returned by then, it would be five.
Jiajia also wants a study room, Wenchun and Wenxuan want a building block room, and even the little sister joins in the fun and says she wants a greenhouse.
He wants to get a dog.
When I think about it this way, the building is really not big enough for me.
Wei Dai: "There should be enough money at home, so we can start the renovation after we buy the house. I'll try to get some furniture and cement tickets."
Wen Jiajia thought of the cement in the synthesis system and said, "I can get cement... I have a classmate who has some connections in the family."
Wei Dai had no doubts, this would save a lot of trouble.
The familiar nine o'clock arrived and the room fell into darkness.
When Wei Dai lay on the bed, he was still mumbling something to himself while reciting the book.
Wen Jiajia couldn't help but ask, "Will your division commander really push you to go to the Army Command Academy?"
"Yeah! You can't fool me." Wei Dai turned over and hugged her. "Besides, the documents have been sent down. Let me report in mid-September."
Wen Jiajia gave him a thumbs up in the dark: "You are amazing."
Perhaps Wei Dai was stimulated by the idea of going to college, and he began to study independently at the end of last year.
Wen Jiajia coached him for a period of time and was almost heart-attacked by anger. From then on, he made up his mind: he would never be a teacher in his life, even if he had to kill pigs!
She has a bad temper and can easily get nodules from anger.
However, Wen Jiajia's guidance was particularly effective for Wei Dai, so he was valued by his teachers and recommended for further studies.
Wei Dai's academic background is his shortcoming, but he will be able to move up further after further studies.
The summer vacation passed quickly.
Wen Jiajia's decision not to be a teacher was shattered because she opened a tutoring class in the family courtyard, giving one hour of tutoring every night to those who were about to take the college entrance examination.
She didn't charge any money. It was just that many people came to her to ask her about homework, and she thought it was too much trouble, so she just set up a tutoring class for everyone to study together.
She was also bored staying at home. In the hot summer, Wen Jiajia didn't want to go out to the city at all. She could only stay at home.
But even though she didn't charge any money, she still gained a lot from the tutoring class.
For example, fish and shrimp, as well as various snacks. There is no shortage of meat in the family these days, and there is no need to buy vegetables. Wenchun, Wenxuan and the younger sister eat fried dough twists, rice noodles and other things every now and then, and the faces of the three sisters seem to be rounder.
Wen Jiajia's cram school was very effective. It had only been half a year since the college entrance examination, and she still remembered a lot of knowledge points.
Moreover, college is amazing: the knowledge points that you thought were extremely difficult in high school become much easier after you enter college.
Word spread quickly, and even people in nearby villages knew that there was a great tutor in the military compound, and they flocked to the students in the military to borrow his notebooks to take notes.
Wen Jiajia never thought that she didn't have the patience to be a teacher, but she had the talent to be a teacher!
She only went to the city three times during the entire summer vacation.
In Linhe City, she did not dare to sell bicycles, a high-volume product, on a large scale, and only visited Hao Qingying and Lin Yunfei's homes.
During the holidays, she still took the train back with Hao Qingying. The girl was tortured by mathematics and regretted choosing accounting as her major countless times.
Lin Yunfei still works in the medical glass. She has been promoted and asked Wen Jiajia for some study materials, preparing to go for further studies when she has the opportunity in the future.
As for Shayue, her home was a bit far away, so Wen Jiajia did not go.
The vacation passed by, and when school was about to start, Wen Jiajia and Wei Dai came to Hai City and bought the western-style building.
"This is a really big project." Wei Dai said after seeing the yard, "Both the yard and the house need to be repaired. They must have been built thirty or forty years ago."
Wen Jiajia: "More than that, the owner said it was bought 50 years ago. He wants to get rid of it as soon as possible...otherwise he would be reluctant to sell it, and it will definitely be worth a lot in the future."
Wei Dai smiled and said, "No matter how valuable it is, it is for people to live in."
Wen Jiajia looked up and saw that the glass in the house was beautiful, but some of it had been scratched and broken.
Then there was the floorboards in the house, which had peeled off in many places or had gaps where dust could hide.
As for the walls, some places were black, and some places were gray. As for the furniture, most of them were broken and old. Wen Jiajia shook her head. It was impossible to live in the house without a major renovation.
Afterwards, Wen Jiajia asked her teacher to invite a worker, who was registered with the street office and could take on some house renovation projects.
This guy is really capable. Wen Jiajia comes out to check it out once a week, and every time she finds that the house has undergone big changes.
First of all, the floor in the house was replaced, and it no longer squeaks when you step on it.
Then the walls were scraped and repainted, the glass was replaced, and some places were even poked open and then rebuilt.
Wen Jiajia also asked him to renovate the bathroom in the house, and it looked almost the same as it would have been decades later.
Then there is the yard. My younger sister likes flowers, so Wen Jiajia specially asked her to clear an area in the backyard to plant flowers.
The walls were raised and solid doors were reinstalled.
Finally, the only problem left was the furniture.
But the man said that his father-in-law was a professional furniture maker. Wen Jiajia went to see the samples and thought they were good, so she entrusted the matter to his father-in-law again.
After a busy day, an entire semester was almost over, and the house was completely finished when Wen Jiajia was about to take her final exam.
Standing in front of the house, Wen Jiajia was filled with emotion.
Anyway, in her previous life, she would never have thought that she could buy a house here.
The first floor of the house is the living room, dining room and kitchen.
The second floor is the bedroom, with two rooms. The third floor is also the bedroom, with three rooms.
There are large balconies on the second and third floors. You can open the French windows to get to the balcony and look down to the street.
The road is lined with green trees on both sides, and occasionally a car passes by, the scenery is quite nice.
After the exam, Wen Jiajia did not rush home, but bought soft furnishings for her home.
The biggest expense should be cloth. Fortunately, Wen Jiajia was not short of cloth, so she didn't spend much money.
This made Wei Dai a little puzzled. Why did it seem that Wen Jiajia's money was more durable than others'?
Obviously, there wasn't much money missing at home, so where did she get so much money?
But Wen Jiajia responded to his question confidently, "Only you are allowed to have a way to make money, not me."
Wei Dai was speechless.
By August, Wei Dai successfully got a vacation, and the family packed up and went to Hai City.
Plans cannot keep up with changes, and Wen Jiajia originally didn't want Wen Chun and Wen Xuan to transfer to Hai City.
But Wei Dai had to go to the provincial capital for further studies for a year, so the three children in the family had to go to Hai City.
Time flies. In 1978, the family moved from the quiet family compound to the big city and started a new life.
