Zhonghai City.

Jiang Feng followed the navigation and arrived at a residential area.

After parking the car, Jiang Feng called his cousin's wife to tell her that he had arrived and then told her the exact location where he parked his car.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng began to look around the community in front of him. This was a relatively mature residential community. When he drove over just now, he had already seen public facilities such as shopping malls, vegetable markets, hospitals, and schools near the community.

After waiting for a few minutes, my cousin's wife Qi Haiyan came over.

"Cousin-in-law!"

"Xiao Feng!"

After greeting each other, Jiang Feng took out two large bags of gifts from the car, one of which contained cigarettes, alcohol, tea and packaged dried seafood, and the other contained fresh fruits bought on the way here.

"Cousin, please lead the way!"

Seeing this, Qi Haiyan reached out to take it and said politely, "Xiao Feng, it's enough for you to just come. Why did you bring so many gifts? It's really too polite."

"Cousin, let me carry this. I heard from my aunt that you are pregnant and you can't get tired!" Jiang Feng moved his hand holding the bag away to prevent his cousin from taking over.

Then he smiled and explained, "It's nothing, I just bought some fruits, the rest are gifts from customers."

Qi Haiyan led the way and said with a smile: "We are all from the countryside, how can we be so delicate!"

Jiang Feng skipped the topic and looked at the community in front of him and asked, "Cousin, this community looks pretty good. Renting a house here shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Qi Haiyan sighed as she walked, "Not only is it not cheap, the rent alone is five or six thousand a month!"

Jiang Feng asked: "Which room is it from?"

Qi Haiyan said: "Two bedrooms and one living room."

Jiang Feng said: "If you add in the water and electricity bills, property fees, gas fees, transportation fees, and food and drink expenses, then no matter how much you save, it will still cost tens of thousands a month. The cost of living in this big city is really different."

Qi Haiyan nodded and said, "The cost of living here is indeed high. Your cousin and I spend about 12,000 yuan every month. Fortunately, your cousin has a high salary, and after deducting these expenses, we can still save a lot of money every month. However, if you want to buy a house you like in this city, it is really not something that can be done in a short period of time."

Jiang Feng said: "This is Zhonghai after all, one of the four first-tier cities, so the housing prices are naturally ridiculously high. In fact, it is most cost-effective to work and earn money here, and then buy a house and settle down in a third- or fourth-tier city."

Qi Haiyan sighed: "We don't really care. The main issue is the future education of our children. Without a local hukou and a house, it will be very difficult for our children to go to school here."

"Indeed, the issue of children's reading in this era has stumped countless parents."

At this point, Jiang Feng asked, "Cousin, my cousin earns 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. After working for so many years, he should have saved up a lot of money, right?"

Qi Haiyan smiled and said, "He has only had such a high salary in the past two or three years. He only had 15,000 yuan a month before. However, he lives a regular life and does not spend money lavishly. He has saved hundreds of thousands of yuan, but this money is far from enough to buy a house in this city!"

Jiang Feng asked: "Cousin, what price range of house are you aiming to buy?"

Qi Haiyan replied: "At least a three-bedroom and one-living room house, not too far away, and with a total price of less than five million."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Let's take five million as an example. A 30% down payment is one and a half million. Adding miscellaneous expenses, one and a half million is definitely enough.

My cousin has saved several hundred thousand yuan now. If he works for another two or three years, he will be able to save more than one million yuan. I will let my aunt and others support the rest, and buying a house will be basically no problem.”

As they were talking, the two had already entered the elevator. Qi Haiyan nodded while pressing the elevator button and said, "Well, your cousin and I have planned this. When the child is born and weaned, your aunt will help take care of him. I will also find a job here and try to save enough money for a down payment on a house when the child goes to kindergarten.

This way, when the children go to primary school, they won’t have to worry about not having a school to go to.”

Jiang Feng immediately said, "Cousin, you know I've been doing pretty well lately. Buying a house is a big deal in life. If you need anything, just let my cousin tell me. I can get three or five hundred thousand for you."

Qi Haiyan was really moved when she heard this.

How difficult it is to borrow money in this era? Even if you have not experienced it, you have basically heard about it. Even if you know that many relatives and friends have a net worth of millions or even tens of millions, if you ask to borrow only 100,000 or 80,000, or even 30,000 or 50,000, there is no hope.

Of course, he won't just say no, but will find all sorts of excuses to prove that he has no money, which may even be harder than yours.

After this or twice, anyone with any shame would never ask him to borrow money again.

But then again, we can't blame people for not lending money. The main reason is that there are too many people in this society who don't pay back their debts. Many people have suffered a lot of losses like this and no longer trust anyone.

The one who owes the money is the boss, who the hell can afford to offend him?

So, in this day and age, if your relatives and friends lend you money without hesitation as soon as you ask, you should really cherish them! If you still have a conscience, don't cheat those who treat you sincerely, otherwise you will end up in trouble sooner or later.

Just think about it, it is so difficult to ask others for a loan, let alone relatives and friends who take the initiative to lend you money when they see you are in trouble. Having such relatives and friends is really a blessing from the previous life.

This is why Qi Haiyan was so moved. This cousin is sociable and is really willing to help when she is in trouble.

After walking out of the elevator, Qi Haiyan took the key to open the door and said gratefully: "Xiao Feng, thank you so much. If there is really any need, we will ask you again."

"You're welcome, cousin. When I was a kid, I went to my aunt's house to play, and my cousin often took me up the mountains and down the rivers. It's my duty to provide some help to the best of my ability when you need it."

Having said that, Jiang Feng followed his cousin's wife into the house and asked, "Cousin's wife, do you want to change your shoes?"

Qi Haiyan said: "No need to change, just come in!"

After entering the rental house and putting the gifts away, Jiang Feng sat on the sofa and looked around.

This rental house is simply decorated, but it is made very cozy by my cousin's wife, giving a homey feeling. The entire living room is clean, and it is obvious that my cousin's wife has done a lot of cleaning.

Although I haven't seen the bedroom, just looking at the living room, I can tell that it must be not much different.

In general, the living environment is acceptable.

My cousin’s wife is indeed a hardworking woman.

"Xiao Feng, have a glass of water!" Qi Haiyan poured a glass of boiled water in a disposable cup and said.

"Thank you, cousin." Jiang Feng took the water and took a sip.

Qi Haiyan asked: "Xiao Feng, are you here in Zhonghai for tourism or business this time?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I came to Hangzhou mainly to do some business this time. Now that I have finished my business, I want to take a look around the area to see if I can find a suitable partner for my sister."

Qi Haiyan nodded and smiled: "It's time for your sister to find a partner!"

Next, the two chatted casually for about half an hour before cousin Liu Junxiong came back from get off work.

After Liu Junxiong entered the room and greeted his cousin, he asked the same question as his wife: "Xiao Feng, are you here to travel or do business in Zhonghai this time?"

Jiang Feng repeated what he had said to his cousin's wife, then stood up and said, "Cousin's wife, you are pregnant now, is there anything you should avoid eating?"

Qi Haiyan said: "Except for cold foods like crabs, I don't really restrict myself from other foods. I eat everything, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy."

"How about we have hot pot tonight?"

"Of course, let's go eat hot pot."

"Then let's go!"

"Walk!"

…

Hangzhou City.

A hot pot restaurant.

Ling Li had dinner with her best friend Pei Ying again.

After eating a few pieces of tender mutton, Ling Li said, "Sister Pei, I went on a blind date a few days ago!"

Pei Ying's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in surprise, "No way? It's only been a short while since you asked Master Jiang to be a matchmaker, and you've already arranged a blind date? Is it so efficient?"

Ling Li scalded two beef balls for herself and said, "I also think it's too fast, but I have to say that Master Jiang is really good at matchmaking."

Pei Ying blinked and said, "Lily, from what you said, are you quite satisfied with the result of this blind date?"

"How should I put it? Judging from our current relationship, it's OK. Everything meets my requirements." Ling Li blew a few breaths at the beef balls and said.

Pei Ying asked curiously, "Where is the man from? How old is he this year? What does he do? What is his family background?"

Ling Li smiled and replied, "He is also from Hangzhou, 33 years old, a professional fisherman, his family runs a small factory, and he doesn't have much background."

Pei Ying also blanched a few pieces of tender mutton and asked with some surprise, "You said he meets your requirements in every aspect. What do you mean?"

Ling Li took a bite of the beef ball, chewed it carefully, and after swallowing it, she replied: "Sister Pei, you know, when people like us are looking for a partner, what we fear most is that men love our money instead of us.

If the 'love' is bought with money, then it has no meaning to us at all."

Pei Ying nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Sometimes being too rich can be a problem as it makes it difficult for them to meet true love.

Ling Li drank a sip of sour plum soup and continued, "The man that Master Jiang introduced to me, although he has no ambition, no career, and no business talent, has one very rare thing about him, that is, he is not after my money, but is truly interested in me as a person."

Pei Ying swallowed the mutton in her mouth and asked, "Lily, how do you know that the other party is not after your money?"

Ling Li smiled and said, "Sister Pei, we women are all intuitive in this regard, just like when a man sneaks a peek at a certain part of your body, even if you don't look at him, you can feel his gaze.

What's more, my parents have also met him. If he is not like this by nature, he must be a movie star. It is not easy to hide it from my parents. "

“That makes sense!”

Pei Ying nodded, and then said with emotion: "Doesn't that mean that you have really found the love that belongs to you?"

Ling Li shook her head and smiled, "It's too early to say I've found love. I can only say that I have a chance. At least I have a suitable target to date, unlike before when I didn't even have a target to date."

Pei Ying praised: "It seems that you really made the right move!"

Ling Li said: "Master Jiang is indeed unmatched in matchmaking. No wonder Wang Wenjie praised Master Jiang so much in front of me when I called him before."

Pei Ying seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.

Ling Li ate the beef ball she had just bitten, and then said with a smile: "Sister Pei, let me observe him for a while. If I find that he is really suitable for me, I will introduce Master Jiang to you and let him find a man suitable for you. I believe that with Master Jiang's ability, he can definitely do it."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Pei Ying did not refuse this time. She did not believe in Master Jiang's ability to predict marriages, but she believed in Master Jiang's matchmaking ability. The two were not contradictory.

The former is something illusory, while the latter is obvious. Let’s not talk about other people for now. The fact that he can find satisfactory partners for Wang Wenjie and Ling Li is already an outstanding ability.

"Haha, that's right. We sisters have been single together until now, so let's do it together. No one should be left behind."

"Well, I hope that day will come, and we can drink sour plum soup instead of wine together."

"Well, cheers!"

"cheers!"

…

Zhonghai City.

XX hot pot restaurant.

Jiang Feng and the other two were eating with their mouths drooling. This hotpot is indeed a favorite of Chinese people and they never get tired of it.

Qi Haiyan ate her fill early. Pregnant women all have one thing in common: they get full quickly and get hungry quickly when eating. So she sat on the side, watching the two cousins ​​drinking and chatting with a smile on her face.

If you just eat, even if you eat slowly, it is very rare for you to be able to eat for an hour.

But if you drink, then the time is hard to say. Some great people can drink from morning to night, or even from today to tomorrow. It is common.

Jiang Feng and his cousin didn't drink that much. They only drank until about 7:30 in the evening and then dispersed.

When it came time to pay the bill, the two cousins ​​rushed to pay, but in the end Jiang Feng was defeated by his cousin.

The most important thing is that Jiang Feng also has to take care of his cousin's face. His cousin works here, and he has come all the way here. If he comes out to eat, he has to pay the bill as his cousin. My cousin might feel a little embarrassed.

Besides, a hotpot meal only costs a few hundred yuan, which is not a big burden for his cousin's income, so Jiang Feng just let him do it.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Jiang Feng said, "Cousin, you guys take a taxi back. I'll get a room nearby and drive to your place tomorrow."

When we went out to eat before, I knew we would be drinking, so I didn't drive.

Liu Junxiong said, "Xiao Feng, now that you are at my cousin's place, why do you need to go out and get a room? Just stay here with me. I will buy some cooked food and beer to bring back, and we will continue drinking in the evening."

Qi Haiyan also said enthusiastically: "Xiao Feng, we still have an empty room. I will make the bed for you later. You can live in our house. Don't waste your money to get a room. Besides, it's rare for you and your cousin to get together. It's good to live together and chat more."

Liu Junxiong nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, listen to your cousin's wife and stay at my place tonight."

Seeing his cousin and his wife were so enthusiastic, Jiang Feng couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, then I'll bother my cousin and his wife!"
