Chapter 251 Buying a House
Deng Chengxin looked calm and said firmly, "Absolutely no problem!"
He continued to explain.
"As long as pregnant women maintain a regular sleep schedule, get enough sleep, maintain a stable and happy mood, and study and work moderately, it will actually benefit their physical and mental health. If the training location is a good environment and the pace is reasonable, it will not only not harm their health, but will also keep their minds active, which is beneficial to the development of the fetus. Don't worry, just go with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhiyu finally felt relieved.
Now that even Uncle Deng said so, he felt even more confident in supporting Ruan Chuxia in pursuing her dreams.
He knew how important this opportunity was to Ruan Chuxia.
She wants to realize her own value and shine on a higher platform.
And that's what he, as her husband, least wants to see.
She was forced to give up her dreams and miss out on her future.
After thinking about it, he called Ruan Chuxia aside.
He looked at her tenderly.
"Xiao Xia, how about... we buy an apartment near the school in Jing City?"
Buy a house?
Ruan Chuxia's eyes lit up instantly.
yes!
How could she not think of it? All along, her attention was focused on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
After all, that's where she started from scratch in her previous life.
From an ordinary resident, he gradually rose to the position of department director.
Because this memory was so profound, she neglected Beijing.
The potential of this capital city is equally immeasurable.
"OK!"
She agreed without hesitation.
"That's a great idea! Let's start looking at houses now. The sooner we decide, the better!"
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Xiao Zhiyu felt relieved.
He was worried that she would hesitate.
After all, I am busy with work and may not be able to go home every day.
If she lived alone in her original house, she might feel lonely.
Especially now that she is pregnant, she needs someone to accompany and take care of her.
"Then let's hurry up and go look at houses while you can still move around. Don't delay too long."
Ruan Chuxia nodded and began to think seriously about it.
Although Beijing's current housing prices are not particularly high, the city will experience a round of rapid housing market growth.
If she can seize this opportunity, not only will she have a convenient place to live during the years of her studies.
More importantly, the value of this house will inevitably appreciate significantly in the future.
In the long run, this is undoubtedly a practical and cost-effective investment.
"But...about buying a house, shouldn't I tell my parents first?"
She suddenly realized that she couldn't make the decision on her own.
This is not a small expense.
What's more, once they buy a new house, she and Xiao Zhiyu will have to move out.
This means that they are about to become independent from their original extended family.
She was worried that Guo Huaqin and Xiao Zhenwu would have some ideas.
Xiao Zhiyu smiled, his eyes gentle and firm.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to them about this."
His tone was calm, as if he had thought it all through.
"Don't worry about your parents. They're most concerned about your health and the baby's. You're pregnant now, so everything naturally has to focus on you. They'll definitely support you in making sure you're comfortable and have peace of mind while you're pregnant."
Sure enough, the next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Lu relented.
After listening to Xiao Zhiyu's explanation, they immediately expressed their agreement.
Guo Huaqin held Ruan Chuxia's hand.
"The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body and not get too tired. Once you've settled down in the house, I'll let Mrs. Min move in to take care of you."
"Sister Min is very careful in her work. I can rest assured that someone will take care of you when you eat and rest."
Xiao Zhenwu also nodded.
"Yeah, buying a house closer will make it more convenient for commuting to school, and it's also good for your health."
With the clear support from her family, Ruan Chuxia felt much more at ease.
My mind was completely focused on the important matter of choosing a house.
She thought over and over again about several locations with great potential for future appreciation.
But when she actually checked the locations, she found that these places were too far away from the medical school.
After careful consideration, she had no choice but to give up these ideal locations.
Finally, she made a decision: to give priority to houses near the school.
It’s close enough that you can walk to and from school.
Although the houses in these areas are generally old, practicality is more important.
The Medical University is located in the old city center of Beijing.
Most of the houses in that area are small street-facing houses built in the last century.
The courtyard wall is mottled with red bricks and gray tiles.
Most of these old houses are small, have poor lighting, and their walls are in disrepair.
…
But these shortcomings are ultimately outweighed by one biggest advantage: it is too close to the school.
For a pregnant woman like her who needs a regular schedule and avoids overwork, such convenience is simply irreplaceable.
She and Xiao Zhiyu looked at several houses in succession.
Finally, their eyes fell on a house in a quiet alley east of the school.
Xiao Zhiyu squatted down and knocked on the ground. Judging from the sound, he thought the structure was quite solid.
Ruan Chuxia stood at the door.
He looked again at the school gate which was so close.
A sense of peace quietly arose in my heart.
Although the conditions are average, the place is still clean and orderly.
At that time, private house buying and selling was not common.
If you want to buy a house, you have to rely on yourself to ask around, ask people for directions, and find clues bit by bit.
The two happened to run into a few old men who were basking in the sun and chatting under an old locust tree at the entrance of the alley.
Ruan Chuxia looked at Xiao Zhiyu and quietly pushed his arm.
"Go to the canteen and buy some candy and give some to them."
Xiao Zhiyu immediately understood and nodded.
Not long after, he came back with a bag of fruit candy.
Ruan Chuxia took the candy and walked forward with a smile.
We chatted about family matters for a while.
Ruan Chuxia naturally brought up the topic.
"Hey guys, is there anyone in this alley who wants to sell their house? We're looking for a place to settle down nearby."
One of the old men in a hat squinted his eyes.
"You guys want to buy a house? That's not common."
Xiao Zhiyu immediately took over the conversation.
"Yes, I work in Beijing, my company is stable, and my wife is about to graduate and wants to stay here to develop her career. We are planning to buy a house in preparation for our wedding."
"Are you two a couple? Are you planning to start a family?"
One of the old men had a look of surprise in his eyes and an air of disbelief in his tone.
"Well, the marriage is basically settled."
Ruan Chuxia responded softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
She quickly changed the subject.
"Uncle, is there anyone selling a house nearby? If there is a suitable house, we would really like to take a look."
An old man with a pipe in his mouth was leaning lazily against the mottled wall.
"There aren't many houses for sale. Even though the houses here are old, it's still hard to buy. Most of them are allocated by work units, and private transactions are not allowed!"
Ruan Chuxia's heart skipped a beat.
She had been worried about this for a long time, but she didn't expect that the reality would be more difficult than she thought.
Want to pay for it?
There's no way.
