Chapter 84 Siheyuan
What Jiang Yingying never expected was that He Yan's so-called accompanying him out and so-called accompanying him to a place was actually accompanying him to look at houses!
Or to be more precise, He Yan said, he was going to see their wedding room.
During the hospitalization, He Yan, together with Lin Guifang and Qin Xin, the three of them asked Jiang Yingying indirectly and learned that Jiang Yingying liked the courtyard house.
After He Yan had the idea of getting married and submitted his marriage application, he started to think that in order to get married, he must own a house!
Although he was going to return to Yun Province after he recovered from his injury, the family compound arranged for him was arranged by the army.
He, He Yan, also wanted to arrange a house for Jiang Yingying to live in after marriage.
They can't just stay at home when they come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year or visit the elderly. That would be too bad.
Absolutely, absolutely, Yingying and their future children must not be wronged.
So, during He Yan's hospitalization, especially the last month, he acted sneakily for a while, asking about the house without telling Jiang Yingying.
At this moment, he took Jiang Yingying to see the house.
They first went to pick up someone, who was He Yan's childhood friend, Shen Linzhe, who was also the person who was running errands for He Yan outside during this period.
Shen Linzhe is very good at talking. As soon as he got in the car, he never stopped talking.
"Sister-in-law, I finally see you. No wonder my brother Yan decided to get married. It turns out that sister-in-law is so beautiful."
“Oh, sister-in-law, I’m Shen Linzhe, two years younger than Brother Yan. Sister-in-law, do you have any sisters at home?”
…
Shen Linzhe was a chatterbox. He talked non-stop as soon as he got in the car. He was glanced at by He Yan and decisively became quiet.
Jiang Yingying laughed a little, and didn't know how these two people knew each other and became friends.
Yes, my friend, Jiang Yingying knows He Yan. If she didn't really regard him as a friend, why would she bother him with this matter.
Similarly, if Shen Linzhe didn't really regard He Yan as a good friend, how could he take on the troublesome task of looking at a house.
There are three houses in total that they are interested in. These three houses are the result of Shen Linzhe and He Yan's discussions and running around for more than half a month.
The first one is a small Western-style house. No one has lived in it for a long time and it is a bit dilapidated, but after some renovation, it can be a pretty good house.
Jiang Yingying was quite satisfied, but she didn't decide on it.
Aren’t there still two places that we haven’t seen? For the second place, Shen Linzhe said that the location is a bit off, but this location will definitely be a first-tier one in a few years!
Moreover, the second house is a courtyard house. The owner found a way to go abroad, so he bought it.
The third place is closest to the compound, it is also a quadrangle and has a good location.
Jiang Yingying looked around and found that she was actually very satisfied with all three places! ! !
However, the money on hand is not enough. A small villa is cheaper, about 6,000 yuan, while a courtyard house costs more than 10,000 yuan.
The second place is two thousand yuan cheaper than the third one, at 13,000 yuan.
Jiang Yingying found it a little difficult to make a decision. If she had to choose, given her limited funds, she would choose a courtyard house.
If she had money, she would want all three houses!
It's a pity that she still has too little money.
Jiang Yingying looked at He Yan, "This is the best place. It's close to the main compound. If we really move in in the future and want to go back to the main compound, or if uncle and Ping An want to come and see us, we can get there in no time."
They were now standing in the courtyard of the third quadrangle, and Shen Linzhe also said: “This house is really good, close to the compound, just turn a street and it’s there.”
He Yan looked at Jiang Yingying and asked, "Then let's book this house?"
"Well, here it is!" Jiang Yingying said, "Comrade Shen, wait for us for a moment," she pulled the corner of He Yan's clothes, "I'll go back and get the passbook first, and then we'll go get the money."
"The money for buying the house will have to go into your savings account. When we make money in the future, we can slowly balance this account together."
"It's your passbook. The money I gave you is yours." He Yan raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head. "You have to go and withdraw the money."
He said, "But you don't need to touch your passbook. This is your betrothal gift. The old couple paid for it. They have already transferred the money to me."
Jiang Yingying glared slightly, wondering why the betrothal gift was so extravagant.
In this day and age, more than 80 yuan is considered good, and the best betrothal gift is three turns and a ring.
On the second day of their relationship, He Yan handed over all his savings to her, which amounted to several thousand yuan.
The bonus and subsidy he received for this mission was also one thousand yuan.
During the first month of hospitalization, after someone who was said to be his good friend visited him, He Yan gave her another 20,000 yuan, saying that it was the money he had invested and deposited with him over the past two years.
Now that I'm back in Beijing and getting married, I took out half of the money from him and kept the rest for further investment.
Also, there was the small box of jewelry and gold bars that Lin Guifang gave her.
Now, we have to buy a house as a betrothal gift.
When her name was actually written on the title deed, and seeing that He Yan intended to write only her name, Jiang Yingying inexplicably felt a little sad.
She asked the housing manager to add He Yan's name as well, "Didn't they say this is a wedding room?"
She said, "The wedding room must have both of our names written on it."
He Yan heard the words "wedding room" and "our" throughout the whole process. He said cheerfully, "Okay, write it down. Write our two names on it."
Shen Linzhe had spent a lot of effort to help them look for houses during this period. Jiang Yingying and He Yan discussed inviting him to dinner. He Yan turned the car and invited him to a private restaurant for dinner.
At this moment, there are still private hotels, but they are located in secret places and are mostly family hotels.
However, the restaurant that He Yan found was in a courtyard house. There were several small compartments in one room, so people could eat in them without disturbing each other.
In the middle of the meal, He Yan said he had something to go out for, and after a while, Shen Linzhe said he was going to the bathroom.
When He Yan and Shen Linzhe came back one after another, thirty minutes had passed. Fortunately, the meal was only half served at this time.
"Why don't you eat first? Didn't I tell you not to wait?" He Yan said.
“I’m not hungry yet,” Jiang Yingying said, “Comrade Shen…”
Fortunately, as soon as Jiang Yingying said this, Shen Linzhe came back.
The three of them had a very pleasant meal. At the table, He Yan and Shen Linzhe took good care of Jiang Yingying, and Jiang Yingying and Shen Linzhe also got along well.
In particular, the two of them had a special affinity for food.
Shen Linzhe knows about food, Jiang Yingying loves to think about food, and the two of them are chatting enthusiastically, while He Yan still has a sour feeling that he can't get involved in the topic.
However, he was immediately coaxed into submission by Jiang Yingying.
After the meal, He Yan drove Shen Linzhe back to his residence at the newspaper office.
Before they parted, Shen Linzhe said that he would definitely take them to eat all kinds of delicious food in Beijing next time.
When I returned to the compound, He Jingqi and Lin Guifang had not returned yet, Aunt Qin was not at home either, and the two children had not yet finished school.
Jiang Yingying turned around and saw He Yan took out three pieces of paper.
