Chapter 205 One Million
Cheng Qiao's steps back were much faster than her steps out. She wanted to enter the space as soon as possible and take a good look at what the extra room looked like. Her consciousness was unable to enter this room.
"Qiao, you're back. How are you?"
Cheng Qiao told Li Huan that she was going to look after the shop, so when Li Huan saw her come back, he came over excitedly. However, even if Cheng Qiao didn't say it, he knew that it was done.
"you guess?"
"If my wife takes action, she will surely succeed immediately."
Li Huan patted his chest proudly and said with certainty. Cheng Qiao nodded with a smile, took out the deed and handed it to Li Huan.
"Two acres of land, how much is it?"
"you guess."
"Fifty, no, eighty."
Cheng Qiao rolled her eyes at him, stretched out a finger, and made four circles. Li Huan's eyes narrowed. Ten thousand yuan, could he have misunderstood?
Cheng Qiao nodded, indicating that he understood that it was correct, it was ten thousand yuan.
"Wow, it costs 10,000 yuan for just two acres of land. In my hometown, it only costs more than 20 yuan to apply for one acre of land."
When Li Huan learned that Cheng Qiao spent 10,000 yuan to buy two acres of land, he couldn't help but be amazed. This land must be made of gold, how could it be so expensive?
Cheng Qiao smiled. With ten thousand yuan, she not only bought two acres of land, but also upgraded the space. It was really too cheap and too cost-effective, but she would not say these words.
"Li Huan, we need to take a long-term view and expand our vision. I can tell you for sure that in another 20 years, these two acres of land will not be worth 10,000 yuan, but more than 1 million yuan."
"Clang"
The teacup in Li Huan's hand fell to the ground, scaring the three children who were just about to wake up from their drowsiness. Little Cheng Li was so scared that he cried out "wow".
"Li Huan~"
Cheng Qiao glared at Li Huan angrily, then quickly picked up little Cheng Li and coaxed him softly. Seeing little Cheng Li's aggrieved expression, she glared at Li Huan again.
Li Huan scratched his head in embarrassment. His wife was right to scold him. He was too short-sighted. A mere one million yuan made him drop the teacup in shock. It was just one million yuan. He had never thought about it before.
Xuhui looked at Cheng Qiao with sparkling eyes. He remembered Cheng Qiao's last words deeply. One should have a long-term vision and a broad vision, but how can one do it?
"Mom, how can I broaden my horizons and expand my vision?"
Cheng Qiao: “…”
She doesn't know either. She only knows that the times will progress and develop, and they must keep up with the progress of the times, otherwise they will be eliminated.
"You'll understand when you grow up. You'll be like your dad. In the past, you thought you were rich when you saw 1,000 yuan, but now it's not surprising to see 10,000 yuan."
Li Huan saw Cheng Qiao's dilemma and tried to make amends in time. Xuhui nodded as if he understood, and suddenly asked:
"Dad, do you have 10,000 yuan?"
Li Huan was embarrassed. Cheng Qiao nodded, but then took out the land deed and showed it to Xuhui. Ten thousand yuan was exchanged for a land deed.
Xuhui was shocked. He suddenly understood what it meant to have a long-term vision. Just like this land deed, it was only worth a few dozen yuan in Xiangyang Village, but it was worth ten thousand yuan in a big city.
"Mom, I understand."
Cheng Qiao took back the deed and saw the light in Xuhui's eyes. She knew that he really understood. However, Li Le next to him seemed stupid, with his mind full of the thought that his second sister-in-law actually had 10,000 yuan.
She knew that when Cheng Qiao first married into the Li family, she had a huge sum of more than 800 yuan on her, and she was proud of it. But she never expected that her second sister-in-law could actually come up with 10,000 yuan. It was too shocking.
Cheng Qiao felt amused. If Li Le knew that the box her mother left for her contained not only a savings book with her name on it and nearly 30,000 yuan, but also a dozen gold bars, what kind of expression would appear on her face?
"Alright, this deed is a secret between the five of us. No one can tell anyone about it after we go back."
Li Huan looked at Xuhui and Li Le with a serious face. If the villagers knew that they spent 10,000 yuan to buy two acres of land in Chuncheng, their future life would be miserable.
Xuhui nodded resolutely, but Li Le was a little hesitant. Could it be that he couldn't even tell his mother? Li Huan was a little at a loss. He looked at Cheng Qiao. Whether he could say it depended on his wife's words.
"I can tell you, but you have to tell mom and don't let anyone else know."
Cheng Qiao knew Li's mother too well. She was timid and fearful of things, but she had a strong heart to protect her children, so she would never tell anyone about such a big thing.
Li Le swallowed secretly. His second brother's eyes were too sharp. Otherwise, he should not tell his mother. If his mother accidentally said it, it would be a big trouble.
"Come on, let's go out for a nice meal and celebrate."
Cheng Qiao knew that she had no chance to enter the space now, so she simply took the children out for a walk and waited until late at night when everyone was asleep.
Although the night in Spring City is not full of lights and music, the electricity is on, and warm lights shine through the windows of every household, with figures faintly visible through the windows.
There are also state-owned restaurants, cinemas, and department stores that open very late. The lights from the doorways illuminate a large section of the road, which is bustling with people coming and going.
Unlike Xiangyang Village, after the sun sets, the whole village is pitch black. Apart from the sound of the wind and the occasional roar of wild beasts on the back hill, basically no one goes out.
Li Le suddenly understood what the book meant about people striving for higher places. Originally, she just wanted to live in a county town, but now, she has understood her own needs.
"Sister-in-law, I want to work in a big city in the future."
"Well, study hard and get into a big city."
"Can I?"
"Can."
Li Le held Cheng Qiao's arm affectionately. As long as his second sister-in-law said it was okay, it would definitely be okay.
Back at the guesthouse, Cheng Qiao looked at the sleeping Li Huan and the children, but did not enter the space. She had a hunch that the extra house in the space would definitely give her a big surprise, so she wanted to save the surprise for last.
The five people checked out of the room early in the morning, carrying their bags and getting on the return long-distance bus. They happened to meet the same bus that came here. It turned out that there were two long-distance buses, one from the county town and the other from Chuncheng.
"Hello, hello, you are home."
The conductor enthusiastically pulled Cheng Qiao to his side, and the driver happily shook hands with Li Huan. The conductor reserved the best seats in the two rows behind the driver for Cheng Qiao and the others.
After talking, I found out that the two of them caught so many thieves that the leaders were very happy. They gave them the title of heroic partners and gave them bonuses and certificates.
Cheng Qiao and Li Huan were also very happy. Although they refused the medal, doing good deeds without leaving a name is also a merit, and gold will always shine.
The car door closed and started slowly. Xuhui no longer dared to open the window. Cheng Qiao held little Cheng Li in her arms and prayed in her heart that they would be safe on the way home and that nothing unexpected would happen.
