In mid-June, He Wenlin spent more than a week alone in Shanghai and found a villa she liked, priced at 26 million!
Unfortunately, someone else offered two million more and bought it.
He Wenlin also wanted to pay more to buy it, but... she wasn't that wealthy yet.
Even with a down payment of 30% of the original price, it would have been a struggle for her to buy it.
But now someone with even more money and resources has offered a higher price, and she has no choice.
If you're not as rich as others, you can't be as assertive.
Since she couldn't afford a Western-style house, He Wenlin planned to buy an ordinary villa, since she would need to live there anyway.
She stayed in Shanghai for another week, and finally spent 3.5 million yuan to buy the villa, and took out another 3.5 million yuan loan.
However, since she was underage, no one dared to do business with her. When she was going through all the formalities, her parents also came.
This villa is fully furnished; you can move in immediately with just your belongings.
"Since we didn't manage to buy the villa, I'll just stay here from now on. When you come to Shanghai, you won't need to stay in hotels anymore."
Aunt He laughed and said, "You might as well stay here. It's not like you're being wronged."
"It may feel wronged, but the old houses still have a certain charm."
“Then you shouldn’t have spent millions to buy this place. You should have saved the money to buy a villa. Villas are too expensive, over 20 million! The down payment alone is over 8 million. If you buy this place and there are other properties for sale tomorrow, you’ll be even less able to afford it.” Aunt He found the thought terrifying, but the house was indeed beautiful, and she liked it.
“This place is fine too, it’s good,” said Mr. He. “Your grandma wants to grow some vegetables, so I think it’s perfect to set aside a section of this garden for her to grow vegetables.”
“I have to go to school, and Grandma can’t come alone. There’s no one to talk to her,” He Wenlin said. “We can’t keep living on the second floor. We should buy a big villa in Shaocheng and set aside a couple of plots of land to grow some chili peppers or something.”
Last year, He Wenlin originally planned to buy a villa in Shaoxing, but then thought about saving the money to buy a townhouse instead. Now that she can't buy that one, she might as well buy a villa instead.
We'll talk about villas another time.
This stuff is already scarce.
It was already the end of the month when I got home from Shanghai.
He Wenlin thought the college entrance examination results should be out by now, so she called to inquire about the results, but the line was busy the whole time, it seemed that many people were asking about them.
At the end of the month, He Wenlin's homeroom teacher, Ms. Liu, told He Wenlin that she had scored 601 points!
"Six hundred and one points! Teacher, are you sure? Did I really get six hundred and one?" He Wenlin was excited.
Six hundred and one points!
It's not Tsinghua or Peking University, nor Fudan or Tongji University, but in this era, scoring 600 points is already considered outstanding.
He Wenlin was very satisfied with this result.
She knew she wasn't cut out for Tsinghua, Peking, or Fudan Universities, so she was very satisfied with her results.
"You scored 601 points!!!" Upon hearing the voice, Mr. He's eyes widened, and he pressed for an answer.
He Wenlin nodded vigorously: "Yes, 601 points!"
"Hahaha." Father He roared to the sky, "There's not a single scholar in our He family, but I never expected this, hahaha, you scored 601 points! Hahahaha."
Mr. He was so excited that he took out his phone to share (show off) the news to his relatives.
"Big sister, Linlin's college entrance exam results are out! 601 points! Hahaha, just like me, just like me~"
"Third sister, how many points did your Guodong get on the college entrance exam? 530? Our Linlin got 601 points, hahaha."
Hearing her father's boastful words, He Wenlin's aunt wanted to rush into the phone and hit him!
You said Linlin got 600, so why do you have to ask her son how many points he got?
Mr. He called other people.
Without exception, I want to beat him up!
However, the news that He Wenlin scored 601 points in the college entrance examination spread quickly.
He Wenlin wasn't the first college student from her village, but she was the first to score 600 points on the college entrance exam!
Mr. He has made up his mind: no going to Hong Kong! It's pointless.
He's going back to his hometown and will be hosting a three-day feast!
The village dogs all need to be taken care of!
Before going back, He's father was showing off by buying more than a dozen cases of drinks to give away to his regular customers at the fast food restaurant.
When his regular customers saw him giving out drinks and grinning like an idiot, they naturally wondered what good thing had happened to him.
Mr. He: "How did you know my daughter scored 600 on the college entrance exam?"
"What? Your daughter scored 600 points?"
"Wow, that's amazing! When I was in school, I only got a total of 60 points across seven subjects, but she got over 600. Congratulations, Mr. He!"
"Mr. He, are you planning to hold a banquet?"
"Hahaha, we'll definitely set it up, we'll definitely set it up." Dad He's mouth never stopped moving.
In addition to serving drinks to customers, the fast food restaurant's employees each received a 50 yuan bonus this month.
After He Wenlin filled out her college application, her father invited local relatives and friends over for a meal.
A score of 600 is common in big cities and prestigious universities, but it's rare to find in villages and towns, especially in rural areas.
"Linlin, which school did you apply to?" He Yongping asked. "Don't go to a school that's too far away, otherwise it will be difficult to see each other."
He Wenlin said, "I applied to schools in Shanghai, so I can come back on the weekend."
"That's not far."
Mr. He laughed and said, "Once she's an adult and gets her driver's license, we can buy a car and she can drive back home for dinner on weekends."
He Wenlin's birthday is at the end of the year, so she is not yet 18 years old and therefore cannot take the driving test.
She plans to take the exam as soon as she reaches the required age, so that she can drive herself around more easily in the future.
