Chapter 105 Go home and buy a house Qin Xiao, can you afford it?
Due to bad weather, the family was delayed on the road for one more day, and only arrived in the capital on the morning of the fourth day.
"Do you want to go to the mall to buy gifts before going back?" Qin Xiao glanced at the little girl.
Jiang Tang shook his head, "No, let's go home first."
“They’ll be happier if it arrives home earlier than the gift.”
I told them I'd be back in a couple of days, and they must be waiting anxiously at home.
After Jiang Tang finished speaking, Qin Xiao didn't plan to stop the car. He drove into the capital and drove all the way to Zhou's house.
An hour and a half later, the car stopped steadily in front of Zhou's house. Jiang Tang turned around and looked at this familiar place, her brows relaxed slightly. She asked Qin Xiao to honk the horn, then she opened the door, got out of the car, and went to the door to ring the doorbell.
She waited quietly at the door. After a while, Zhou's mother ran out holding Zhou An. When she saw Jiang Tang at the door, she immediately ran over to open the door for her in surprise.
Even the usually gentle mother Zhou couldn't help but shout out in excitement. Jiang Tang looked at his mother and brother with a frown.
As soon as the door suddenly opened, Zhou An immediately stretched out his two little hands towards Jiang Tang, calling her sister as he did so, without any sign of not recognizing her sister. Seeing how hard the little boy was trying, Jiang Tang smiled and walked over to hold Zhou An in her arms. The little guy immediately grinned and clung to her arms.
Zhou's mother looked her daughter up and down, making sure that she was not thin or sick, and with tears of joy in her eyes, she finally went home.
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Mom, if you have anything to say, go home and talk. Let Qin Xiao drive the car in first."
"Okay, okay." Zhou's mother opened the door and let Qin Xiao drive in.
He sat next to Jiang Tang and took his daughter home.
Qin Xiao parked the car before taking Qin Chuyang out. Little Heidan got out of the car dazedly, and faced with the unfamiliar environment, he stuck close to his little master.
Zhou's mother brought them in, went to the kitchen and poured some water and placed it on the tea table.
"Qin Xiao, Tang Tang, you must be hungry. Mom will give you some dry cookies to eat while I go to cook."
"Mom, don't be busy, just sit down and rest for a while."
Zhou's mother also wanted to accompany her daughter, so she sat down after hearing Jiang Tang say that.
Qin Chuyang was playing with Zhou An and Xiao Heidan, and he was quite serious as a grown-up. Zhou An also listened to him obediently.
"Are you really not planning to leave this time?" Zhou's mother looked hopeful.
Jiang Tang tilted his head and glanced at Qin Xiao, then said "hmm".
"The last time Qin Xiao came to the capital, he had already looked at houses. He will confirm it in two days and buy it and settle it."
"That's good." Zhou's mother was really happy. Now she didn't have to worry about her daughter suffering and being helpless.
It couldn't be better for the young lady to stay here. No matter how good Qin Xiao is to her, at least if something happens to her, she will have a place to go.
Zhou's mother chatted with Jiang Tang for a while before rushing everyone to rest.
"You guys drove here, you must be tired after all the hard work these days, you should take a rest, I'll call you for dinner later."
Jiang Tang was indeed tired, so he agreed obediently. He had been traveling for several days, and he couldn't relax much even when he was resting in the hotel on the road. Now that he was back home, he could finally relax his tense spirit.
Zhou's mother boiled some hot water for them. After the couple took a shower, they took Qin Chuyang to his room to sleep. Zhou An, who had just had a happy time playing with his brother, followed Qin Chuyang happily. Jiang Tang had no choice but to let Zhou An sleep with Chuyang. After settling the two little kids, the couple returned to their own rooms.
Jiang Tang lay on the bed, humming in comfort, all the fatigue of the past few days disappearing.
She yawned in Qin Xiao's arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It felt like I slept for a very long time.
Zhou's mother said she would call them, but in fact she was reluctant to do so. When Jiang Tang woke up from her sleep, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. She felt a little limp from sleep.
He turned his head and buried himself in Qin Xiao's arms, saying in a muffled voice, "Qin Xiao."
Qin Xiao stroked his aunt's hair with his fingertips and responded in a low, hoarse voice.
Jiang Tang wrapped his legs around Qin Xiao, held Qin Xiao's neck with his hands, and snuggled in his arms, "If you want to get up, hold me."
Qin Xiao grasped the little girl's waist with his hands, lifted her up from the bed with a little force, got up directly by holding the girl's butt, took his coat and put it on Jiang Tang, picked her up and walked out.
Jiang Tang then decided to come down by herself, and walked out the door behind Qin Xiao on her heels. When she got downstairs, she found that her mother had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to come downstairs.
The kids are all up and playing with An An.
At this time, Zhou's father, who had been called by his wife at work, also rushed back.
As soon as she got home, she shook hands formally with Qin Xiao. Before she could say anything, Zhou's mother, who was afraid that her daughter would be hungry, hurriedly washed her hands and arranged her to sit at the table.
At the dinner table, Zhou's father finally had a smile on his face.
"It's good to develop here. The market is big and information is definitely more circulated than in the county town."
He looked at Jiang Tang after he finished speaking, "It will be convenient for Chuyang to go to school next year."
Jiang Tang nodded, "This is what Qin Xiao and I planned."
Qin Xiao nodded, "Let's go look at the house tomorrow. If we decide early, we can move in before the end of next year."
Zhou's mother frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay at home for a few more days. There's no rush to buy a house. Take your time to choose. You can live here for the rest of your life. I won't rush you."
"Mom, don't worry, Qin Xiao has already selected a round."
"If you choose it before the New Year, you can move in right after the New Year."
Jiang Tang looked at Zhou's mother with a smile, "Besides, we have a new home now, and we will come over to accompany you and dad during the New Year."
Zhou's mother agreed helplessly. Since her daughter said so, how could she not agree? Besides, the sooner she bought a house, the sooner she would feel at ease. At least she would not want to go back to the county town anymore.
The family finally got together again and had a happy meal.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room and watched TV. The TV at home was still the same black and white TV, so Zhou's father and mother just watched it for fun, nothing special.
Mother Zhou looked at An An clinging to Qin Chuyang and said helplessly, "See if Chuyang is willing to sleep with An An at night. If he is willing, let the two little ones sleep together. If not, let him sleep alone."
Jiang Tang looked at Qin Chuyang, who seemed like an older brother to An An, and agreed with a smile.
This was only their first day back, and Zhou's parents didn't want them to stay up late, so after watching TV for a while, the family urged them to go to bed.
Qin Chuyang was very happy that his younger brother was going to sleep with him. He was a little man now and could sleep by himself, but his younger brother was still young and not a man, so he could take care of him.
After Jiang Tang coaxed the two kids to sleep, he returned to the room. He yawned as he looked at the person half-lying on the bed. Then, smiling, he threw himself on top of him and buried his head in Qin Xiao's arms.
Qin Xiao inserted his knuckles into the little girl's hair and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you happy?"
Jiang Tang looked up at him and nodded, "Yeah."
Qin Xiao put his hand on the little girl's waist, lifted her into his arms, opened the quilt and covered Jiang Tang, "Go to sleep."
Jiang Tang nodded dazedly and said "hmm".
"Good night."
"Good night."
—
The next morning, after Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao finished their meal, they asked her mother to look after Qin Chuyang, and the couple went out to look for houses without stopping.
Qin Xiao didn't drive, and didn't move the things he brought back from the car, which was not very convenient, so the two of them took a taxi directly to their destination.
The first place they went to was a new-style apartment. Nowadays, many families in the hutongs are allocated houses on a household basis, and many of them are apartment buildings like this.
The location is good and the public facilities are complete. It is already a very good apartment building here.
Qin Xiao had also taken a fancy to a property before, so he brought Jiang Tang here. As soon as they arrived at the destination, the acquaintance who had brought him here before was led upstairs. When he saw that he was really back, the man knew that the deal was done, and he enthusiastically introduced the property to the couple along the way.
As soon as they entered the house, Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao looked around. The apartment had all the basic facilities, four bedrooms and a living room with a kitchen and bathroom. There was also a gas stove in the kitchen, which was something you couldn't see in the county town, but now this new apartment had been installed.
The person who brought them up kept introducing them.
"Qin Xiao, this place is really nice."
Jiang Tang looked at Qin Xiao with a smile, "We have a gas stove at home, so we don't have to burn coal anymore. It's quite convenient."
“The facilities are complete and the furniture is all there. If we don’t like it, we can change it.”
Jiang Tang thought it was a good idea. They were not short of money now, so buying a house now would definitely make them a steady profit. They could buy one first and then buy more if they saw a good one later. There was no purchase limit now, which really was very friendly to them.
Qin Xiao responded, and the little girl didn't pretend to be upset. She immediately went on to flatter Jiang Tang by saying a lot of nice things.
Qin Xiao only asked in a low voice, "Like?"
Jiang Tang nodded, "Yeah."
After Qin Xiao negotiated with the person, he took Jiang Tang to see the second house he had liked before. This time it was a more ancient courtyard house.
The girl had specifically mentioned it to him before, and Qin Xiao found some ways and looked at several courtyard houses. Now he came here to see if the girl likes it.
The owner had other houses and wanted to sell this courtyard house to go abroad, so he wanted to sell it quickly.
Jiang Tang did not hesitate at all and took action directly. He transferred the money within a few days and was extremely proactive.
Qin Xiao just let her do what she wanted until the host received the money which was given to him readily after he had specifically mentioned the price. Seeing Jiang Tang being so generous, he inexplicably felt that he had been at a disadvantage.
Obviously, he had raised the price on purpose, but I was still confused after the sale.
Jiang Tang didn't care. He bought two houses without hesitation and lay down peacefully at home for a few days.
Qin Xiao arranged for people to clean up the courtyard first. After everything was cleaned up, he personally moved the things that he had brought back from the car over there.
After Qin Xiao came back from moving the things, and after dinner, Jiang Tang rested his head on Qin Xiao's chest and looked up at him, "Qin Xiao, take me to the brand store in the mall tomorrow."
Qin Xiao stroked the little girl's hair with his fingertips and nodded slightly.
"Um."
Jiang Tang turned her head to the side, leaned against the man's arms, and yawned softly, "Have you moved all your things over?"
"We've moved in. I'll take you to see the store tomorrow and then find a decorator to go over there and fix up whatever's missing so you can move in."
"That's good. Can it be completed before the end of the year?"
"Of course, the workers also want to celebrate the New Year. If we pay them, they will naturally speed up their work."
Since he said so, Jiang Tang felt relieved.
The next morning, after Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang finished their breakfast, they went to the clothing store that Qin Xiao and his friends had previously picked out in the capital.
When the couple arrived, Mo Baian was busy in the store. When he saw them come in, he came out to greet them with a smile.
"How is it? It's OK, right?"
Mo Baian looked at Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao, and he was very satisfied with this brand store.
The store was crowded with people, and it looked like it was being run very well. Jiang Tang looked at Mo Baian and said, "Aren't you a designer? How come you're a salesperson?"
Mo Baian smiled and waved his hands, "I am happy to see that the clothes I designed are liked by everyone."
"Besides, this is just a temporary thing. Once we hire a few more people and train a store manager, I won't have anything to do anymore."
"Come on, let's go in and take a closer look." Mo Baian took Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao into the store.
The decoration inside the store is grand and bright, which is more eye-catching than other clothing stores in the mall. The styles are basically trendy and the latest models. No wonder there is a large flow of people and it almost attracts all the customers.
After Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao finished reading it, they felt that it would be no problem to open a few more chain stores throughout the capital next year. It would be perfect to hand it over to Mo Baian and Ruiyan. If Ruiyan returns to Pengcheng in the future, she can also open a store there.
After visiting the store, the couple said hello to Mo Baian before going to the courtyard. Jiang Tang looked up at Qin Xiao and said, "You can find someone to renovate it when the time comes. There's no need to make major changes. It's okay to keep it a little more antique."
It would be best to keep it in this somewhat old state, Qin Xiao nodded.
The little girl seemed to particularly like this kind of courtyard house. He didn't feel anything, but he just listened to the little girl.
Jiang Tang raised her hand and pinched the man's face, "Go home, Chuyang is still at home."
Qin Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl. He bent down and kissed her lips, and said hoarsely, "Do you like this place so much?"
Jiang Tang hugged Qin Xiao's waist with both hands and looked up at him, "A little bit, when we get used to living here, we can change a few more apartments, or buy a villa in the suburbs and live there when we have free time."
"Qin Xiao, you can afford it, right?"
A smile appeared in the man's dark eyes and he responded.
Jiang Tang lightly stood on tiptoe, raised her face and kissed Qin Xiao on the lips, "That's good, we can also buy a few houses in Pengcheng. If we get tired of living here, we can go to Pengcheng to live for a few days."
The little girl seemed to have some wild thoughts, but Qin Xiao let her do whatever she wanted. It didn't matter where she went, as long as she took him with her.
