"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it then."
Xu Manman thought of something and turned to look at the side profile of her "husband" driving. "By the way, Jin, do you want to rent out those empty houses in Hai City and Jing City?"
Although she has no land in the Special Administrative Region, she had an obsession with houses in her early years, so Xiao Jin accumulated a lot of real estate. If she rented them out, she would be a wealthy landlady.
"Some small courtyards have been rented out, while the villas and large courtyard houses have not been moved."
Those that remain and don't move basically occupy land of unknown size. These days, few families can afford to rent them, and those who can afford to rent can buy their own.
Moreover, those courtyards and villas were renovated by Jin Zichu himself according to the host's preferences, so there is really no need to rent them.
If he hadn't been afraid of it being too conspicuous, Jin Zichu would have planned to include all these properties in the betrothal gifts.
"The big house is really out of stock, so let's just leave it there for now and live there ourselves later."
They were all renovated by Xiao Jin according to her own preferences, and those houses will not be available for purchase in the future. She is not short of money, so she will keep them and enjoy them one by one in the future.
Since Xu Manman doesn't need to buy land, they don't need to stay in the special zone for long. There is nothing fun here at this time.
So they drove directly to Yangcheng. According to their route back to the north, it was actually a detour, but the eldest cousin was in the Yangcheng Military Region, so since they were there, they had to go and see him.
On the way from the Special Economic Zone to Guangzhou, you have to pass through Dongguan.
Xu Manman looked at the road outside the window, her eyes full of nostalgia. "Jin, you know, I spent six or seven years in Wancheng in my previous life, and in the end, I think I also left here."
Xiao Jin naturally knew, "Man Man, do you want to go and take a look?"
Xu Manman leaned against the car window and shook her head. "No, I just miss it a little. The place where we used to live is still a wasteland. What's so good about it? Besides, there won't be another Xu Manman born in the 1990s in this lifetime, right?"
Xu Manman asked the last sentence while staring at Jin Zichu.
Jin Zichu let go of one hand that was holding the steering wheel and clasped his fingers with Xu Manman's. "Manman, Xiao Jin will always be with you."
It seems like nothing was said, but it also seems like everything was said.
Xu Manman didn't continue to ask the question and shook Xiao Jin's hand.
The roads nowadays are not like the asphalt, reinforced concrete roads of later generations. Most of the roads in the middle are dirt roads. A good black car has turned into a gray car by the time it enters Guangzhou.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived downstairs of my cousin Xu Jianbing's house.
When Xu Jianbing rushed back after receiving the news, he was also shocked. "Did you drive here from Gangcheng? Where did this car come from?"
If he remembered correctly, his father had called him before and told him that the couple were going there by plane. He was thinking that they would not take a plane but should take a boat to Guangzhou. He would then arrange to pick them up at the dock. He didn't expect that the two would drive over without saying hello.
Xu Manman replied, "I bought it second-hand in Hong Kong. It didn't cost me much."
Xu Jianbing was stunned when he saw the car logo in front of him. He hadn't spent much money yet, but just looking at the logo, he knew that the price would not be enough to cover it even if he sold it.
"When did you leave? Why didn't you call in advance? Did you go through the Special Administrative Region? Did everything go smoothly on the way?"
Faced with such a long list of questions, Xu Manman decisively gave the task of answering them to her "husband".
"I crossed the border in Luohu this morning. I had planned to spend two days in the Special Administrative Region, so I didn't rush to call. Later, I changed my plans and decided to rush over that day. The journey was relatively peaceful."
Xu Jianbing nodded, "Manman still has some time before school starts, so I think we can stay in Yangcheng for a few more days."
"I hope my elder brother and sister-in-law don't mind."
"We are all family, there is no need to be polite."
Sister-in-law Zhao Jingjing came back a little later. "I'm sorry, Manman, Zichu, the hospital has several emergencies today and they're short on staff, so I didn't ask for leave in advance."
Xu Manman was holding her one-year-old nephew and walking around. "Sister-in-law's work is important. We don't treat ourselves as outsiders. There's no need to take time off to entertain her."
Zhao Jingjing still felt a little embarrassed when looking at her cousin.
She only has a junior college degree, which is sufficient for the hospital. However, she is not outstanding in the Xu family where all the members are college students. Especially the beautiful girl in front of her is a PhD who has returned from studying abroad. It is inevitable that people will feel inferior when standing in front of her.
Moreover, her parents-in-law and husband love her very much. If she doesn't treat them well, will her family have any thoughts about her?
Xu Manman gently poked her fat nephew's double chin with her fingers, making the child show his little teeth.
"Pengpeng is in a nursery now. Can they take care of such a young child?"
