However, Ye Beiping still accepted the money, thinking that he would have Aunt Li bring over some delicious food that evening.
In those days, the best gift to give during festivals was meat. Ordinary families couldn't bear to give it away. Giving a pound or two wouldn't look good, and they couldn't afford to give more, so it was better to give something else.
After composing themselves, Ye Beiping led everyone toward their new home.
Although it's a bit far from the main city center, it's not exactly in the suburbs. Besides, Ye Beiping had already calculated that Hangzhou's development would definitely start from the surrounding areas, with the demolition of these old neighborhoods in the city center coming last.
This time I bought two courtyard houses. If they are demolished, the compensation will be based on the area, and it will definitely be a lot of money.
The main issue is that there are no property ownership certificates or similar documents now, and these won't appear for another ten years or so. Therefore, the best time to make a large-scale purchase was around the early 1990s.
Everyone on the way had a smile on their face.
Even the Jiang brothers were very happy. Although they weren't the ones buying the house, who wouldn't want to buy a house in a city like this?
Jiang Hai had already discussed it with Jiang He. They planned to take the money back home during the Spring Festival this year to build a new house, and then buy a house in Hangzhou next year after they made some money.
In fact, Ye Beiping had also told Jiang Hai that buying a house in Hangzhou was a good choice, not only as an investment, but also as a preparation for settling down in the future.
Jiang Hai understood the difference between rural and urban household registration.
Twenty minutes later.
The journey, which should have taken only ten minutes, became slower because the tricycles were carrying a lot of cargo and the summer heat made everyone move more slowly.
We even took a short break along the way.
Finally arriving at their new home, Ye Beiping invited everyone to come inside for tea.
Everything here was already taken care of a few days ago when Ye Beiping accompanied Su Xinyi shopping.
Aside from high-end items like air conditioners, Ye Beiping didn't need to buy any more things like televisions and electric fans.
No one thought about moving things first; instead, they all wiped their sweat and crawled into the house.
Jiang He, in particular, would light up as soon as he saw an electric fan, find a place to plug it in, and immediately turn it to the third speed setting.
Whew!
The electric fan's fan also attracted the attention of those around, but no one tried to take it from the river.
After all, the river is a guest.
Ye Beiping glanced at the rather desolate yard and thought that he could plant some flowers and plants there later.
As for Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin's idea of growing vegetables, he hadn't even considered it. Vegetables can be bought from outside. Growing them yourself would involve fertilizing and making the whole yard stink, making it impossible to eat.
Just as I was about to go inside, Jiang Hai came out.
"Brother Jiang Hai, don't you want some water?"
"No." Jiang Hai shook his head, then frowned as he glanced at Jiang He, who was hogging the electric fan in the room.
Just as they were talking, Ye Beiping noticed and reached out to grab Jiang Hai's arm.
“Brother Jiang Hai, I also bought the place next door, so you won’t need to stay in the hotel anymore. Just move in.”
“This…” Jiang Hai glanced at the courtyard next door and smiled somewhat embarrassedly: “How can this be? After all, you paid for it. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to move in.”
This isn't him being pretentious.
After all, he had been through the real world, and no matter how good his relationship with Ye Beiping was, living in a house bought by someone else was never a good thing.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him."
Moreover, everything that Jiang He and I have now, although it is the result of our own hard work, still requires Ye Beiping to give us a chance.
Even if they worked for other bosses, they wouldn't earn this much money; it's all thanks to Ye Beiping.
Jiang Hai felt really bad about taking Ye Beiping's money and living in Ye Beiping's house.
Ye Beiping, of course, saw through Jiang Hai's thoughts and immediately smiled: "Brother Jiang Hai, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. I actually bought this courtyard house to use as staff dormitories."
Staff dormitory?
This configuration, which was only available in state-owned factories, left Jiang Hai momentarily stunned.
Ye Beiping seemed to be making a fuss over nothing, and this courtyard could only accommodate a few people.
With yards in the front and back, isn't it a bit of a waste to use such a nice house as employee dormitories?
Ye Beiping saw that Jiang Hai was still hesitant and continued to persuade him: "Actually, you know Hou Baolin and Wu Di. They came here with no one to rely on. They came to rely on me. It's not good to let them stay in a hotel every day, so I got this house for them."
"There aren't many rooms, only four. Originally, I was thinking that you, Jiang Hai, Wu Di, and Hou Baolin would share the room, but now Jiang He and Wu Di have gone to Shangcheng District and are renting their own places. So it'll just be you and Monkey, which will save you some money since you don't need to rent a place."
"Besides, I bought this house as an investment. Brother Jiang Hai, you know that the housing prices in Hangzhou will only continue to rise. It won't do to leave it empty and without any people. It's perfect to use it as your staff dormitory. It's a win-win situation."
After hearing so much from Ye Beiping, Jiang Hai felt a little embarrassed if he didn't stay.
Although I still felt this was not a good idea, considering my current situation, I really couldn't stay in a hotel indefinitely.
I've thought about renting a place, but I'm too busy every day to look at any.
"Alright, thank you, Beiping." Jiang Hai finally agreed.
Ye Beiping patted Jiang Hai's arm and said, "No need to thank me. We're all on the same side. You and Jiang He have been so supportive of me. I'll definitely treat you well in terms of material things in the future."
