May Day is coming.
Chen Ru had great performance last year and received a generous year-end bonus at the end of the year. Together with the salary saved by the couple, by May this year, Chen Ru had some savings again. The two houses she bought with a mortgage last year are finally going to start renovation.
In the same residential complex, when Chen Li accompanied Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong to look at houses, Chen Ru bought two small apartments of 105 square meters, while Chen Li bought a large apartment of 156 square meters, which was on a different floor in the same building as Wen Ying's home.
Chen Li didn't want to live in the neighborhood where she lived next to Lin Lin's family ever since Pan Li caused trouble there. After Yu Wenhao was arrested and she no longer had to pretend to be poor, Chen Li started to renovate her new house. Now that the renovation of the new house is completed and Wen Ying is on vacation, Chen Li invited Wen Ying and her family to visit the new house.
Wen Ying's family is also going to renovate their house, so this can serve as a reference. The decoration industry is complicated, and Chen Li must remind Wen Ying's family of the pitfalls she has stepped on.
Chen Li and Deng Shangwei already had several million in savings, and Qin Xianming allocated an additional quota to Deng Shangwei. Deng Shangwei's career was on the fast track, and he was not short of money for decoration. Wen Ying was wondering halfway whether she would see a magnificent new house with a strong local tycoon style.
The minimalist style that was popular more than a decade ago has few fans now, and the black, white and gray color combinations are not popular either. Now, wealthy bosses choose mahogany furniture and beige floor tiles. They don’t want simplicity, but luxury.
That's still good.
Some people like to decorate their homes in KTV style. As soon as Wen Ying enters the house, she will subconsciously look for the microphone and want someone to come on the fruit plate!
The Chinese style is actually quite beautiful, but the prerequisite is that the whole house must be unified.
The living room was furnished with mahogany furniture, but the bed was a soft-padded European-style bed, which looked quite strange.
Wen Ying was already fantasizing wildly before she even entered the house. When she entered the house and saw that the sofa in the living room was not made of mahogany, she felt relieved.
Hey, it’s not that frivolous, it looks quite warm.
"What's that expression on your face? Are you relieved?"
Chen Li laughed at her, and Wen Ying felt embarrassed and didn't dare to say that she underestimated Chen Li's aesthetic ability.
Chen Li's house is in European style. In Wen Ying's eyes, this decoration style is definitely not trendy, but the hostess's intentions can be seen everywhere. There are many green plants in the new house to absorb odors. There is a vase on the coffee table, which contains fresh flowers bought by Chen Li, which are gorgeous and tempting.
A happy family brings joy to life.
Wen Ying's eyes felt a little hot.
In her previous life, my aunt had no shortage of houses. After the divorce, my uncle gave all the family savings to my aunt. My aunt didn't know how to invest elsewhere, so she bought all the money into houses. My two cousins, Deng Jie and Deng Hao, are one a playboy and the other a idler. It is true that they can only live like this because they have a wealthy family.
But what’s the use of having so many houses? No matter when Wen Ying comes, Chen Li’s house is always cold and indifferent. They are too lazy to even grow a pot of flowers. It doesn’t feel like home, and no matter how much money you have, it’s meaningless.
Now Chen Li is enthusiastically talking about the layout of her home, looking completely different from her previous life:
"There are four rooms, and one extra room can be used as a study. Deng Jie and Deng Hao don't need a nanny to look after them all day, and I don't plan to hire a live-in nanny. I'll just hire a cook and clean auntie who can come in during the day and go home at night. This house will be just our family of four living there."
Chen Li took Chen Ru and Wen Ying to visit each room.
Chen Li’s new home now has a dedicated study!
In fact, the previous house also had four rooms, but Chen Li never thought of arranging a study.
After all, neither she nor her husband Deng Shangwei are considered cultured people, and having a study is just for show and is not used very often.
Things are different now. In the past six months, Chen Li and Deng Shangwei have been reading books. It would be nice to have a study in the new house with a computer. They can check information online and work from home.
It turns out that computers can not only play Minesweeper and Solitaire, but also connect to the whole world with a network cable. Although the information content on the Internet in 2005 was far less abundant than that more than ten years later, Chen Li didn't know the future, but she felt overwhelmed at the moment.
"I also signed up for a computer training course."
Speaking of this, Chen Li felt a little embarrassed.
Neither Chen Ru nor Wen Ying laughed at her, and Chen Li immediately became calm.
What was taught in the computer training class was not complicated. It was just teaching Chen Li how to use office software. It sounded simple, but Chen Li didn’t even know such a simple thing before!
Now that I think about it, I really wasted a lot of time in the past.
"Sister, you used to say that my dating delayed my college entrance exams, but I didn't really think so. After all, Shang Wei and I have a good relationship, and we both supported our family on our own without going to college... Now I feel a little regretful. Even if I didn't go to college, I shouldn't have given up studying."
Chen Li spoke sincerely, and Chen Ru nodded gently: "Just know that I'm doing this for your own good!"
I finally understood this when I was 31 years old.
Chen Ru glanced at Wen Ying standing beside her and said: There is still something I don’t understand!
Wen Ying just thought that Chen Ru's eyes were not implying anything about her.
Chen Li had long noticed the strangeness of the mother and daughter.
What's going on? Weren't they in a good relationship some time ago?
Chen Li winked at Wen Ying.
——Why did you make your mother angry?
Wen Ying didn't move at all.
Unless Manager Chen can figure it out on his own, no one's advice will be of any use this time.
The three were touring the room, while Wen Dongrong and Deng Shangwei were having an awkward chat in the living room.
Deng Shangwei offered Wen Dongrong a cigarette, but Wen Dongrong took it but didn't light it. Deng Shangwei laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, have you really quit smoking?"
You have to quit.
All the money for cigarettes has been handed over.
The 500 yuan private money subsidy was returned.
