The first commercial housing estate in Guangzhou was built with a large amount of Hong Kong capital, so in many aspects, it also adopted the model there. For people now, buying a house with a mortgage is a new thing.
Whether now or in the future, banks like housing loans, because for banks, the most secure and profitable business is mortgages.
Qin Rou's family has booked a house. Their wallets have shrunk by more than half, and they have to bear the mortgage of this era. Fortunately, the monthly repayment amount is really not much.
If you look back from thirty or forty years later, you will feel that the loans in the 1980s and 1990s are like a joke. This cabbage price is a good deal.
But for people nowadays, a house that costs a few hundred yuan per square meter is really not a bargain. After all, many people's annual salary is only a few hundred or a thousand yuan.
"It costs a lot of money, and we have a mortgage. Boss Xiao Lu, our family must make a lot of money." Thinking of their family's first house, Qin Rou was very excited. This is the first commercial house! A house in Guangzhou!
After the first one, is the second one far away?
"Why do you insist on buying a house?" Lu Yan supported his wife's decision, but still asked her with a smile.
"You miss an old place. Although all the major government agencies and state-owned enterprises will distribute houses, if you change your unit, the house you are given will no longer belong to you..."
"I like things that belong to me. The house we bought will be ours in the future. Even if we return to the island or come to Guangzhou in the future, we will have a safe place to stay."
"Buy a few more houses in the future." Qin Rou is ambitious. The current house is only bought in Guangzhou. In the future, they will also buy a house on Qiongzhou Island.
"Okay, buy a few more if you like."
"We have so many children in our family, so we have to buy a bigger one."
Who wants to live in a small house when they can live in a big house? When Qiongzhou Island develops in the future, Qin Rou also wants to own a few sea view rooms. Of course, sea view rooms are not suitable for living. They are not used for long-term residence, but for vacation and leisure. In such a good place, it would be great to have a sea view room resort hotel.
There are many hot springs on the island, maybe I can open a hot spring villa and a mango and lychee plantation...
Qin Rou raised her hands to cover her face. She thought to herself that she was just interested in this kind of eating, drinking and playing.
"Have you bought a house?"
"Did you really buy a house in Guangzhou?"
"Is it necessary? How much did it cost?"
...
After returning to the military academy's family building and learning that Lu Yan's family bought a house in Guangzhou, people around them were a little confused, because their advanced training class was about to end, and it wouldn't be long before Lu Yan would return to the island base and be transferred to be the chief of staff of a certain detachment.
Qin Rou has been studying in Guangzhou for three years. In 1982, which is the beginning of next year, she will graduate from Lingnan University in Guangzhou. If she wants to go back to the island with her husband, then there is no need to buy a house in Guangzhou. That's 80,000!
Why buy a house with so much money? It's not like she doesn't have a house to live in.
Zheng Mantang was amazed: "The family next door actually bought a house in Guangzhou? Isn't this crazy? Do you think Lu Yan's wife would want to stay in this prosperous city after studying in Guangzhou for a few years and not want to go back to the island with him?"
"If you ask me to choose, I can't bear to leave Guangzhou. It's so good here. She is a young woman, beautiful, and a college student. She can live comfortably in the big city. Why should she go back to the island with him?"
Zheng Mantang gloated: "If you ask me, he shouldn't have let his wife take the college entrance examination. Look, she has been studying in the big city for a few years, and her heart has become wild. She likes the hustle and bustle of the city. How can she be willing to go to a remote and poor island?"
"If they live apart, they will soon get divorced."
"There have been so many divorces in recent years, all because of those who got into college and returned to the city. No one wants to stay in the countryside, and they all run to the city."
"If Lu Yan and his wife get divorced, their four children will be pitiful..."
His wife Tang Yurong was cleaning the kitchen, and she said, "Don't talk nonsense. The Lu couple has a good relationship. The other day I saw Xiao Lu riding a bike with Xiao Qin. They don't look like they are getting divorced. You are the only one worrying about it."
Zheng Mantang said, "Just because they have a good relationship now doesn't mean they will have a good relationship in the future. Didn't the educated youth couples in the countryside have a bad relationship? Once they had the choice to return to the city, were there many who abandoned their husbands and children?"
"If there weren't many, there wouldn't be so many divorces!"
"What kind of novels are those young female sanitation workers reading recently? They are all about pursuing freedom and love! As long as the spark of love is ignited, what does marriage matter?"
Zheng Mantang sighed: "Those books, there are also books about father and son both falling in love with the same woman."
Tang Yurong: "You are an old man, why do you know so much about these books?"
Zheng Mantang laughed: "It's because you scold me every day for not keeping up with the times, so I have to read the new and hot things of this era."
Tang Yurong: "...There are more than these, there is also a nephew whose uncle likes to dress up as a woman and go home for revenge."
Zheng Mantang exclaimed: "Where did you see it, there is also this thing?"
"On TV."
"The TV series shot outside are so fresh."
Zheng Mantang: "I still don't know enough."
Tang Yurong laughed at him: "I know you are surprised by what you have seen."
"Then you know so much, don't you think that the beautiful Xiao Qin is going to pursue her own love?" Zheng Mantang's psychology is very contradictory. He can't stand Qin Rou, a beautiful woman who does things out of the ordinary, but he is also envious of Lu Yan and his wife, who have both children and a happy family without quarrels.
He thinks that this loving couple in the Lu family is pretending!
In front of them, the couple pretends to be decent and loving, but when they go home and close the door, who knows what is going on inside?
If they really had a good relationship, why didn't Lu Yan lock his wife by his side and let her take the college entrance examination? If she got into a crappy university, she would have gone wild and run away with another wild man sooner or later.
These women who have some culture like the romance of flowers, snow and moon, and the kind of young men who wear small glasses, are gentle and elegant, and can say sweet words. Qin Rou may have been blown by such young men in school for a few years, and she wants to pursue love with these romantic young men.
These soldiers are locked up in a small place every day, dumb and unable to speak. If they marry a smart woman, this woman will definitely have her own little thoughts.
"Her man is going back to the island, and she is still planning to buy a house in Guangzhou. Who will live in this house for? We soldiers don't have many vacations a year, and she might bring other men to live there in the future. Even if she brings a man there, Lu Yan? How would Lu Yan know?"
"You said Lu Yan is about to become a detachment chief of staff, how come he can't even think of this? He just trusts this woman too much."
Zheng Mantang analyzed the house-buying behavior of the Lu couple downstairs, and then thought about the romance novels that were gradually becoming popular on the market. Under this trend of pursuing true love, Chief of Staff Lu Yan's head was glowing green.
Tang Yurong rolled his eyes: "Can't you just hope for others to be better? What's wrong with buying a house? If it were me, I would buy a house if I had money. Having a house makes me feel at ease."
"You women are at ease, but Lu Yan, as a man, must be uneasy. Do you think I should remind him?"
"Remind what?"
"Tell him to be careful of his wife, Xiao Qin, who is going to pursue true love."
Tang Yurong felt that his husband Zheng was really confused. "Xiao Lu and Xiao Qin already have four children and live a down-to-earth life."
"What's a child? What's four children? Can children be an obstacle to love? It's impossible. The books say that love can break through all worldly ethical restrictions. A father and a son can fall in love with a woman, so can't she, a woman who has given birth to four children, freely pursue her own happiness?"
"Xiao Qin has graduated from college, her soul and mind are liberated, and she wants to pursue her own love!" Zheng Mantang became more and more excited as he spoke.
Tang Yurong picked up the broom and swept the floor, saying, "Love? She loves their Chief of Staff Lu, what other love does she want to pursue?"
Zheng Mantang: "You don't understand this, times are different now..."
Tang Yurong: "Why don't I understand? I think it's not Xiao Qin who should pursue love, but... I want to pursue love."
Zheng Mantang: "???!!!"
His eyes were about to pop out, "You pursue love, what love are you pursuing? You
have five sons already?" Tang Yurong rolled his eyes: "Have you forgotten what you said just now? Can children stop love? True love can break through all worldly ethics. What's wrong with me having five children? Can't I pursue true love?"
Zheng Mantang: "..."
"You said these words to your husband?"
Tang Yurong: "So what if I said it? Do you love me? You care about others pursuing love, but why don't you care whether I pursue love or not?"
Zheng Mantang: "I don't know whether I love you or not, but I don't know how to live without you by my side."
Tang Yurong was stunned, "It's been so many years, and we're still just making do."
"Just make do, and a lifetime will pass."
"Make do?" Zheng Mantang put his hands on his hips, "Why do you say that they are in love and we just make do with our lives?"
Tang Yurong was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Zheng Mantang was in a particularly bad mood. He strolled to Lu Yan's house and saw the family making dumplings. Qin Rou was mixing the stuffing, Lu Yan was rolling the dough, and the two older brothers Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize were making dumplings. The two younger sisters had their hands covered with flour and smeared some on their older sister's face and on their younger sister's body.
"Bad Doudou!"
"Stinky Rongrong!"
...
"Old Zheng? Do you want to take some dumplings with you?"
"Are you making dumplings? Are we going to eat dumplings tonight?" Zheng Mantang held his chin and looked at the family. The couple brought four children, two sons and two daughters. The sons looked like their fathers and the daughters looked like their mothers. The family atmosphere was particularly warm.
"Your transfer order has come down, right? Are you going to the island soon?"
"Soon, when my wife's semester is over, we will go back to the island together."
Zheng Mantang asked, "Xiao Qin, you are studying in Guangzhou. Do you plan to stay in Guangzhou to work in the future?"
He felt that this woman was ambitious and would definitely stay in Guangzhou, a big city.
Now that she has bought a house, she will definitely live in a building in the big city and is unwilling to go to the island to suffer.
Qin Rou picked up the dumpling skin, picked up the filling with chopsticks, and casually said, "Old Zheng, have you forgotten? I run a farm on the island, so of course I have to go back to manage the farm."
"You haven't been to Qiongzhou Island yet? You are welcome to visit our house when the time comes. There is not much else on the island, but there are a lot of fruits."
Doudou said, "Mom, are we going to the island?"
"Yes."
"We want to eat mangoes, lychees and big pineapple honey!!"
Little Dumpling said happily, "There are also a lot of coconuts on the island."
"There are also little squirrels and monkeys."
Lu Weizhou laughed and said, "Your second brother was robbed by a monkey when he was a child."
"Wow!!! Monkeys!" Doudou and Xiao Rongrong exclaimed with their hands on their faces.
"Is it the kind of monkey in the zoo?"
"It's a macaque."
"Isn't Brother Dumpling a six-eared macaque? Why would a macaque steal something from another macaque?"
Lu Weizhou: "Because they are not united."
"Hey, hey, hey!!" Dumpling, whose true identity was exposed, was very dissatisfied: "As the older brother, what are you teaching your younger sister?"
"Dou Dou and Rong Rong, who do you say is the six-eared macaque? You are the two little monkeys, the two kiwis."
"Brother is the peach!"
...
Listening to the children's quarrels, Lu Yan smiled, picked up the rolling pin, and sprinkled some flour on the board, "Wife, my face is a little itchy, help me soothe it."
"Where is it?"
"Here, a little further down, yes, that's it."
Zheng Mantang curled his lips, "Old Lu, your family is really noisy."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Your five sons are not noisy?"
Zheng Mantang: "..."
So heartbreaking!
At least they still have two sweet little cotton-padded jackets, while his family has five military coats that will suffocate their father to death.
Zheng Mantang changed the subject and said: "Your family is going back to the island, why do you still want to buy a house in Guangzhou."
"My wife likes it!"
"We will buy a house on the island in the future." Qin Rou kindly suggested: "Old Zheng, if your family has the opportunity, you can also buy a house."
"House? We don't buy a house."
Zheng Mantang felt that there was no need to buy a house. At his level, the family housing allocated to him was big enough, so there was no need to buy a house.
What's the use of commercial housing now? As long as you have a unit, don't you have welfare housing?
After strolling around Lu's house, Zheng Mantang returned to his own home. Tang Yurong laughed at him: "What? What did you say when you went to Lu's house?"
"Don't gossip and disturb other people's relationship. It's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. It will bring bad luck to ruin someone's marriage." Tang Yurong has watched too many TV dramas nowadays and can speak a few truths. Although there are many strange characters and plots in TV dramas, they are generally family-friendly.
"Haha, you don't know this couple yet? You're about to step on my face and say that they have a good relationship. What else can I do to gossip? I think this Lu guy has already lost his mind. He's OK in his career, but when he gets home, his mind is full of his wife."
"Who says they are true love, unlike the two of us who are just making do with each other."
Zheng Mantang: "...They are also living together."
"Yes, they are living together, and we are just making do with each other."
Zheng Mantang was so angry that he felt stuffy in his chest: "What's wrong with making do with each other? Can't they still get divorced?"
"Watch less TV dramas, these TV dramas are misleading. You are a mother of five children, and you are still pursuing true love."
"You should read less romance novels and hang out with other girls. How can both father and son fall in love with the same woman? If the six of you really fall in love with the same woman, then I..."
Zheng Mantang: "...what do you want to do?"
Tang Yurong: "Nothing, I suddenly felt that no young girl would be blind enough to fall for you."
"If the six of you fall in love with the same woman, that would be terrible."
Zheng Mantang: "What's so terrible about that? Can the six of us love other women besides you?"
Tang Yurong: "..."
"I'm going to talk to Xiao Qin about this!"
I didn't expect that their old Zheng could say such a thing.
Zheng Mantang blushed: "You old woman are so shameless, how dare you say such a thing to others."
Women are really confusing, just get by with your life.
"You tell Xiao Qin, then I'll go tell Xiao Lu."
Tang Yurong: "Then you go and tell them, I won't say anything."
Zheng Mantang: "..."
"Qin Rou, Jiang Qiaoqiao said you bought a house in Guangzhou? Really? She said she saw your name."
As soon as they returned to school, many people in Lingnan University knew that Qin Rou had bought a house in Guangzhou. It was promoted by the big mouth Jiang Qiaoqiao. Jiang Qiaoqiao was the one who had opened a clothing factory with Sun Hongping before. Now the clothing factory completely belonged to Jiang Qiaoqiao's family. Sun Hongping and a few others were squeezed out by Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Qiaoqiao made a lot of money. She also bought a house when the property was launched. When she returned to school, she immediately started to advertise.
Sun Hongping almost couldn't eat after hearing these words. She cursed Jiang Qiaoqiao in her heart and wished that her clothing factory would close down as soon as possible.
It's just a shitty clothing factory.
"Sun Hongping, Qin Rou from your dormitory seems to have bought a house as well."
"Really? She bought a house as well?!"
"When can we have our own house in the city?" "
Jiang Qiaoqiao said that many bosses from Hong Kong have bought that house. Many people who invested in factories have bought houses there."
...
When Qin Rou returned to school, the news of her buying a house had already spread, but she didn't care. It was not a big deal, not to mention that it was her last school year and she would have very few days in school.
After Chu Ye knew that she bought a house, he was very envious: "Qin Rou, that's great! How big is the house you bought?"
"One hundred and one square meters."
"It's quite big. Which floor is it on?"
"The fifth floor."
"That's great. I've never lived in a house on the fifth floor. Ah, that's a tall building."
Sun Hongping said on the side: "I will buy a house here in the future."
She thought about Jiang Qiaoqiao and secretly hated that Jiang Qiaoqiao and Qin Rou were going to live in the same community.
Sun Hongping remembered the name of this community, thinking that she would move into this community one day in the future, and she would also buy a house here.
"Qin Rou, you bought a house in Guangzhou. Do you plan to stay in Guangzhou in the future?"
"It's more than 700 yuan per square meter. How many years will it take me to save enough money to buy a house?" "
Think of a way to make money. Now I'm assigned to a unit and I can't make money as an individual business owner. In my hometown, there are also many people who open factories to make money. When they heard that I was studying in Guangzhou, they all envied me. Every time they brought some fresh things back to my hometown from Guangzhou, they could sell them at a high price."
This is the advantage of studying in Guangzhou. If there is anything new here, you can bring it back to your hometown and sell it for double the price!
Qin Rou said, "I'm going back to Qiongzhou Island. My pearl factory is there."
"Your man is there too!"
Sun Hongping's eyes lit up, "Are you really not staying in Guangzhou? There are more opportunities to make money in Guangzhou. Why don't you stay in Guangzhou and go to such a faraway island?"
She thought Qin Rou was really stupid. Guangzhou is so prosperous. She bought a house here, but she didn't want to stay here and wanted to go back to the island.
When Sun Hongping became a big boss in Guangzhou, Qin Rou would still open a breeding factory on the island!
"Their factory is on the island, so of course we have to go back to the island. Qin Rou, let's go to the island to visit you in the future."
Qin Rou agreed immediately: "Okay, welcome to the island, the beaches and coconut trees there are very beautiful!"
"Really? Then I must go and see it, and also go and see the place where you cultivate pearls."
"When I have money, I will buy a pearl necklace to wear."
This semester is over and summer vacation is coming. Qin Rou has almost finished all her courses. She packed her things and was about to go back to Qiongzhou Island with Lu Yan. Lu Yan's transfer order came down and he was going to be transferred to a certain detachment as chief of staff.
This time, their whole family was going back to the island together. Lu Yan now lives in a guesthouse near the pier with his four children. Their furniture and appliances in the military academy's family building have been moved to the pier warehouse. After staying in Guangzhou for a few years, they were going to move back to the island.
Qin Rou packed her luggage and dragged her suitcase downstairs. She saw one big and four small children downstairs in the corridor. Lu Yan brought the children to the school to pick her up.
Doudou and Rongrong were visiting their mother's dormitory for the first time, and they looked around curiously. Zhouzhou and Dumpling were not quiet either, and if they were not waiting for their mother, they would have wanted to walk around.
The five of them, father and daughter, were very eye-catching, especially the twins Zhouzhou and Dumpling, and Doudou and Rongrong, and the handsome man next to them.
"Wow, they look exactly the same!"
"Two pairs of twins standing together."
"These two kids really look like their dad."
"Are they the kids of Qin Rou from the Department of Business Administration? The two daughters look a lot like her. Has she married and had kids?"
"That's right, this man is her husband."
"Are the twin brothers next to them her sons? The daughters are hers, but the sons aren't? These two kids are this old, they must be left by his ex-wife?"
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling heard these discussions: "..."
Lu Weize said: "Brother, why do people say you're not my mother's son?"
Lu Weizhou: "Isn't your mother my mother?"
Doudou: "Brother's mother is also Doudou's mother."
"It's Rongrong's mother!"
Lu Yan: "..."
Qin Rou went downstairs with her suitcase. As soon as she walked out of the corridor, a man in a white military uniform immediately took the suitcase from her.
Qin Rou looked up and saw his handsome profile, smiling sweetly: "What are you guys talking about?"
"You're saying that mom is Rongrong's mother."
"She's Dumpling's biological mother!"
...
"Qin Rou, are these children yours?" Zhang Qi, who was on the same floor, dropped his jaw in shock.
"They are mine. They are all my biological children. The two elder brothers look like their father, and the daughter looks like me."
"They are really your biological children. You are really good at giving birth!!!"
"Go and call your aunt to have a look. Aunt, please put on your reading glasses and take a look at Qin Rou's sons and daughters!"
The aunt in the dormitory put on her reading glasses and walked out of the room at the stairs. When she saw the two pairs of siblings, she couldn't help but take off her glasses immediately. "Am I seeing things? Why are there double visions?"
"What double vision? These are two pairs of twin siblings!"
Qin Rou smiled and said, "Aunt, I didn't fool you before. My two sons and my two daughters are all my biological children."
Aunt: "Really? You are really good at giving birth. Oh, mom, how old are your sons? They look a lot like their father. You won't have trouble finding a partner in the future."
"If my granddaughter wasn't still young, I would have wanted to get engaged to you."
"Two handsome boys in the future!"
Lu Yan and his wife took their four children and left the school. Chu Pigeon ran upstairs. Several women from the dormitory came to their dormitory and asked, "Are those really the two pairs of twins born to Qin Rou's husband and her?"
"Really? Didn't you see that the twins are so good-looking!"
Chu Pigeon was particularly regretful: "Her two sons are so handsome. What would it be like if I had been born twelve years later? I could still catch up."
Zhao Shanshan laughed at her: "You should hurry up and find a partner to give birth to a daughter. Maybe you can catch up."
"No, no, how can I catch up."
"I really envy Qin Rou. She married such a good man and has four beautiful children. Her two little girls are so cute. They look like her. They are two beauties."
Qin Rou and her husband took their children on the ship. Doudou and Rongrong were still young and could not remember much. They were very excited when they got on the ship. They were like two little mice and ran around in the cabin.
"Sea! Sea!"
"So many ships!"
"One, two, three, four, five..."
The two little girls shouted happily. It was always exciting to see the vast ocean. There were many ships at the pier. Just like counting the train carriages when taking a train, you also have to count the ships at the pier when taking a ship.
Lu Yan held his two little girls and watched the sea.
Doudou asked Qin Rou who was standing next to her: "Mom, can we go fishing on the boat?"
"You want to fish? The fish want to fish you too."
"Brother is two little sharks."
"What about Doudou and Rongrong?"
Lu Weizhou said: "A grouper."
Lu Weize said: "Two starfish.
" Qin Rou said: "Little goldfish."
Lu Yan: "Mantis shrimp."
"Bad dad, bad mom, bad brother!!"
"Rongrong is a giant whale! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!!!"
"A giant whale that's bigger than the boat!"
"Swallow the little shark in one bite."
The sisters Tian Dou and Rong stayed in their father's arms, with their hands opened beside their mouths, making a "ferocious" move like a big fish hunting.
Lu Weizhou: "..."
Lu Weize: "..."
These two girls are very ambitious.
The ship is moving forward on the sea, and their whole family is about to arrive at Qiongzhou Island and return to the base family compound.
