"Alright, you're already a grown-up kid, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat. We should all be together as a family. Do you think you and your parents should be alone here? We're doing this for ourselves, not for you. Don't overthink it."
Yun Xiulan patted her daughter on the back and said with a smile that was not what she meant.
Ning Xiyue let go of Yunmu and sat down, following her words:
"Okay, okay, you're just thinking about yourselves. Anyway, I want to thank Mom and Dad. I'm so happy. Our family will never be separated again. Mom, how about we pack up and go over after the New Year?"
Ning Xiyue massaged Yunmu's shoulders and said, "Go over and clean up the house early. A Yan went back to Beijing earlier. I asked him to help find a house. I'll ask about the house situation when he comes back."
Hearing this, Yun Xiulan nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a firm look:
"Here, my daughter, when Xiao Ji comes back, ask him about the housing prices in Beijing. We won't rent a house, but can go buy one there. A slightly larger one that can accommodate our family, preferably one with a yard so I can grow some vegetables. Don't worry about the money; your mom is rich, and the most important thing is that we live happily."
Ning Xiyue was shocked by Yunmu. She didn't expect that her mother would be the first one in their family to ask to buy a house in Beijing. With such great wisdom, there is no need to worry about getting rich.
Ning Xiyue massaged even more vigorously, praising:
"Mom, you're so generous! You're so far ahead of the curve. Others are still waiting for their workplace to allocate housing, but you've already reached the point of buying your own house with a yard. You're so far ahead of the curve!"
Yun Xiulan was amused by her daughter's flattery and giggled. After laughing, she waved her hand indifferently:
"Well, it doesn't matter what you think or not. The main thing is that your dad and I won't be able to get a house for a while after we are transferred there. We can only live in the dormitory. I, your mom, don't want to live in that messy dormitory, and I don't want to rent someone else's house. It's not comfortable at all.
After careful consideration, I decided to buy a house of my own so that I can live comfortably. You can come home often and Mom can cook delicious food for you to nourish your bodies."
"Okay, I still have a lot of money here. I can add to it if it's not enough. I have saved all the money you gave me before. I am a small rich woman now. It's more than enough to buy a house." Ning Xiyue squatted down again and massaged Yunmu's legs.
Yun Xiulan leaned back in her chair, glanced at her, and waved her hand in disgust.
"Keep that little bit of money for yourself. Your father and I have plenty of money. I think we can buy a house for each of you three siblings. But houses are in short supply, so we can't buy one. It would be great if we could find so many houses."
Ning Xiyue, who was despised for her small amount of money, was so shocked by her mother's generosity that she remained silent and silently massaged her mother's legs.
It turns out that her parents are the rich ones, and she is too narrow-minded.
Seeing her daughter looked shocked, Yun Xiulan changed the subject:
"But if you want to buy a house, Mom won't stop you. You can use your money however you want. Your dad and I won't interfere. We fully respect your decision."
Ning Xiyue nodded silently. She had to buy the house. If she didn't buy it now, she would regret it later. Now that she had traveled through time, she had to fulfill the dream of the relocated residents.
Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Yun Xiulan shouted to Ning Qingyuan in the kitchen, "Second brother in the kitchen, how are things going? Can you come over and stew the goose?"
Ning Qingyuan poked his head out and said, "It will be ready soon. You can come in and prepare first."
"Okay, coming."
Ning Xiyue followed her mother to the kitchen to help.
Just a few minutes after entering, Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan were kicked out of the kitchen by Yun Xiulan because they were in the way. She asked the two siblings to go outside and play with their friends from the former staff quarters.
But at this time, the elder brother and sister-in-law and Comrade Ji who had been out came back with vegetables and meat, so Ning Xiyue decided not to go out to play.
He took Ji Yanming to her room to talk, and directly asked her about the most important thing she was concerned about at the moment:
"Ayan, how's your search for a house in Beijing going?"
"I've found three houses for you to choose from. Let me first tell you about each one."
Ji Yanming took out a pen from his bag, and Ning Xiyue took a notebook from the desk and handed it to him to take notes.
"The first one is a 300-square-meter house with lots of rooms and a very small yard. But it's close to the school. It's less than a ten-minute walk to the gate of your Hua University. The house is also well-maintained, with no messy structures or graffiti. It can be lived in after a simple cleanup."
Ji Yanming said to record each one in the notebook, and write down the area, advantages and disadvantages of the house for Ning Xiyue to see.
"There's another house that's a bit larger, about 500 square meters. It has a large yard with a pavilion and an old apricot tree. It's a bit out of the way, in the suburbs, but close to my uncle's machinery factory branch. It's badly damaged, though, and needs renovation."
"The last apartment best suits your requirements and is the largest. It's an 800-square-meter, two-story courtyard house. The location is also very advantageous for both of us. It's a 20-minute bike ride to Huada University, and it's not far from the factory where my uncle and aunt work. There's a direct bus, and it only takes about 20 minutes at most. It's also well-preserved."
"This one is good. My mother just wants to buy a large house with a yard. Tell me more about this one." Ning Xiyue couldn't help but speak out.
All three are fine, and the last one where my parents live is more suitable as it has a larger area.
Ji Yanming stopped writing, looked up at Ning Xiyue's eyes, and shook his head apologetically.
"It's just that there's a problem with the ownership of this house. Originally, this house was an old family home, but later when the family split up, it was divided between two brothers. Now they own it jointly, with each brother holding half. We've even registered it with the Housing Authority, but now the two parties haven't reached a consensus. One party wants to sell, and the other doesn't. We can only discuss it later when we get there."
It was a bit of a pity, but Ning Xiyue didn't care too much. The key now was to buy the other two houses without any disputes.
Ning Xiyue looked at Ji Yanming with sparkling eyes:
"It's okay. We won't force them to sell if they don't want to. The two houses in front are also very good. I plan to take both of them. Can A Yan help me contact them?"
The last sentence sounded a little naive, and the look in her eyes seemed as if she was acting coquettishly.
