The next day, the family went to Songcheng Scenic Area. At noon, Grandma refused to eat there and preferred to eat two steamed buns or instant noodles.
The tofu pudding here is also salty; none of them suit my taste.
He Wenlin had her father drive her to KFC for a fast food meal.
Compared to Lou Wai Lou and the Western-style meal that cost "over ninety yuan" last night, Mrs. He thought this lunch was delicious!
Back in Shaoxing, Lin Fei asked the fast food restaurant employees if Grandma He found West Lake fun.
"It's not fun at all. It's just a big lake with decent scenery, which looks better than ponds and fishponds in the countryside, but we didn't get to eat a decent meal."
The tofu pudding was salty, and the vinegar fish was awful. We barely touched any of the dishes on the table. Don't go to that famous restaurant again; it doesn't suit our taste at all and it's a waste of money.
Last night's Western-style meal was the same. I saw the beef at the next table wasn't even fully cooked; they were just cutting it up and eating it like that. Linlin, you used to say you wanted to study abroad, but please don't go. Who can stand the food like this?"
Hearing Grandma He's complaints, the local employees looked surprised: "You don't eat savory tofu pudding? How do you eat it?"
Lin Fei: "Let's add white sugar."
He Wenlin said, "Dietary habits vary from place to place. When we were little, we ate cucumbers with sugar, but in many places, we added vinegar. Grandma, let's go to the capital this winter vacation and eat Peking duck, or we can go to the provincial capital of our hometown."
"Let's go to the capital!" He Wenjun said excitedly. "Sister, I want to see the flag-raising ceremony."
“Okay, let’s go watch the flag-raising ceremony, climb the Great Wall, and eat Peking duck,” He Wenlin said. “But you have to do well on your exams first.”
He Wenjun patted his chest and said, "No problem!"
"Ring ring~"
Just then, He Wenlin called.
Zheng Juan's phone call.
"Mr. He, we have many houses for sale in Shuling, both two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. Are you interested?"
"Isn't Shuling next to Baijia Village? Those are resettlement houses, right?"
"Yes, it's near Baijia Village, and it's also resettlement housing," Zheng Juan said with a smile. "The price is cheap, around 1200-1300 yuan per square meter. Do you want to buy?"
"You can go and take a look."
The area is relatively remote, so prices are currently lower. However, in a few years, with more migrants and the rise of electric scooters, the area will be filled with out-of-towners who commute by scooter every day, making it easy to rent out apartments.
He Wenlin contacted He Ling, He Shan, He Wenjun, and Peng Liang one by one, asking them if they wanted to go see the house.
As for He Wenhua and Xu Haibo, forget about them. They just bought their houses recently and probably can't afford to pay for them right now. Besides, building their own houses would be more cost-effective than buying them.
As for Lin Fei, his mother disagreed with buying another house, and most of his salary went to his mother to pay off the loan. His mother also said that the house still needed renovation, so she really couldn't afford it.
He Wenjun said, "Linlin, I haven't finished paying back the money I owe you. I don't have the money to buy a house."
“I’ll pay the down payment for you, and you can pay the loan yourself for twenty years,” He Wenlin said. “Let’s buy a big one this time.”
He Wenjun is already eighteen years old, and he will probably get married in two or three years. This time he bought a big house for himself to live in.
He has almost paid back all the money he owed He Wenlin. He earned several thousand yuan during the Spring Festival, and with his year-end bonus, he paid it all back to He Wenlin. This year, he had a thousand yuan deducted from his salary every month, so he has paid back almost ten thousand yuan. In addition, he also has his monthly salary from last year and rental income.
He Wenlin lent him a total of 40,000 yuan, and he has already paid back 30,000 yuan.
Her brother's abilities are average, and without her help, he has no idea when he'll be able to afford a big house on his own.
He Wenlin is willing to help those who deserve it, within her capabilities.
“If I buy a house, I won’t have money to buy a car,” He Wenjun said. “I probably don’t have much money in my account. I even had to borrow money to buy a car, let alone a house…”
“Cars depreciate, so it’s okay not to buy one. It’s not very useful to you now anyway. Second brother, you’re not young anymore. You’ll be getting married in a couple of years. Let’s buy a big house. I’ll lend you the down payment, and you can pay the loan yourself every month. It’s fine to take out a loan for twenty or thirty years.”
“Linlin is 1,300 yuan per square meter. A whole apartment would cost over 100,000 yuan. I’d need to prepare at least 50,000 yuan for the down payment. It’ll take me a long time to pay it off.”
“I’m not worried about lending money to others, so what are you afraid of, you who are in debt? I wouldn’t lend money to others.”
"Hehe, I know, I know I'm the best, the most important brother in your heart."
"Shut up! Bring your ID tomorrow!"
...
The next day, everyone went to see the house in a large group.
Buying a house is as easy for He Wenlin as buying cabbage.
She plans to build a villa in the future and wants to buy an old-style house in Shanghai, so the houses she buys now are all investment properties, and therefore none of them are very big.
This is a newly built resettlement house; some parts of the community are still under construction.
He Wenlin bought three two-bedroom apartments. He Wenjun didn't have any ideas, so He Wenlin chose a large apartment on the fifth floor for him. Peng Liang chose a two-bedroom apartment, and the He Ling and He Shan sisters also each chose a two-bedroom apartment.
In one go, Zheng Juan sold seven houses, and she was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
Because He Wenlin was a long-time client of hers, and these businesses were brought to her by He Wenlin, she gave He Wenlin a lower commission rate, and she also favored He Wenlin when negotiating prices.
So the transaction price is basically around 1,100 yuan per square meter. He Shan didn't have much money, so she bought a second-floor apartment, which is the cheapest, at 1,000 yuan per square meter.
