Chapter 476 The Qin Family's House, Qin Wenbin's Lifelong Event
The new house has three floors and is more than 100 square meters. It looks like an ordinary self-built house in the countryside. When Li Yongshou built it for them, he specially designed the facade in a European style. The first floor facing the road is a storefront. It is not large, but the facade is okay. At the back is a living room, a dining room, a fairly spacious kitchen, and a public bathroom. The second floor has a living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The layout of the third floor is exactly the same as the second floor. There is also a large platform on the third floor with a fence and a small shade. You can make tea, enjoy the breeze, or wash clothes here. Qingpu has strong winds and it is on the top floor. Clothes can dry in less than a day if you hang them to dry.
The backyard was specially fenced off. Unlike the Zhang family, they didn't have a vegetable garden or flowers and grass. Instead, the whole yard was paved with tiles and had a laundry sink and storage room where they could put some things. Cars could be parked next to the laundry sink, which was convenient. In the future, if there were children in the family, they could just close the gate and have space for the children to play in the yard.
Zhang Wanwan came back from Beijing and brought some gifts with her to congratulate Qin Wenjun. After entering the door, she couldn't stop praising: "Not bad, not bad, it looks beautiful and clean, spacious and bright. I can open a small shop by myself in the future. I'm sure the business on the roadside will be good."
As she spoke, Zhang Wanwan stuffed the red envelope into Qin's mother's arms and said apologetically, "I missed your move and missed the four-day banquet. I'm really sorry."
Mother Qin hugged her grandson and smiled from ear to ear. "It's okay, it's okay. You weren't here, but you didn't mean to not come. How can I blame you? Hurry up and go upstairs to sit. The living room on the first floor is not used much, so we'll all go to the second floor."
Zhang Wanwan followed Qin's mother's instructions and went to the second floor. She found that the decoration on the second floor was much more exquisite than that on the first floor. The furniture was also more upscale. The hall was spotless, and one could tell at a glance that the owner took great care of it.
After Qin's mother sat down, she said excitedly, "Wanwan, eat some fruit. Stay for a while and have a meal before going back."
Zhang Wanwan did not refuse and said with a smile: "Aunt, now that you have a house, you should feel more at ease and start looking for a partner for Wenbin."
"That's right! I've also been thinking about finding one for him, but my husband and I are both at the sand farm right now, and the only people we come into contact with are the workers who come from nearby to work. We don't know what their family situation is like, and I don't really understand what's being said here, so I don't dare to agree easily.
In addition, your brother borrowed money to build the house, and we won’t feel at ease until the money is paid back.” Qin’s mother was even more excited when talking about Qin Wenbin’s relationship, but she also had deep concerns. “In fact, the money at home is enough to build the house, but after the house is built, there is no emergency money, so we plan to delay it for another two years. Your brother is anxious, saying that we will feel at ease after the house is built, and he insisted on giving a sum of money, and also said that it should be built well, hehe.”
When it comes to her son-in-law Zhang Baiyan, Qin's mother is extremely satisfied. If asked to praise Baiyan, she can praise him for three days and three nights.
Zhang Wanwan was amused by her. "Aunt, my brother is your son-in-law. He has money to honor you. You can just keep it. Anyway, the family doesn't have any other big expenses right now. In addition, he is in charge of the seafood processing factory this year and earns much more than before. You can just keep it with peace of mind. As for whether to lend it or not, that's just a saying. Don't take it to heart."
Zhang Wanwan knew that Zhang Boyan truly treated Qin's father and mother as half his parents and was filial to them. He paid the money willingly. Zhang's father and mother also knew about it, and they didn't say anything, so it was not her turn to express her opinion.
Mother Qin was even more relieved after hearing this, and said happily: "I want to give your brother 100,000 yuan every year in the future, and pay it back in five years. Anyway, now that we have a house, we don't have any other place to spend money except Wenbin's wedding. We have saved the money for his wedding, and we can do it anytime. By the way, you can also help find out if there are any good girls suitable for him nearby. We are outsiders, and we want to find a local family, preferably one with easy family members to get along with. Also, Wenbin's education level is not high, so we don't care about his education level when finding a partner for him. We just need to be of equal status and have a good personality."
Zhang Wanwan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Qin's mother. "Aunt, you are really insightful. Nowadays, many people of your age not only look at the family background but also the appearance of their daughter-in-law when recruiting a daughter-in-law. They even don't let go of the birth date. I don't understand. Do you think that after looking at these, the couple can really live happily and smoothly without any disease or disaster? It's impossible! How many people who said they were a match made in heaven before getting married ended up getting divorced because of personality incompatibility. There are also some trivial things that can lead to divorce. You really think it through!"
Qin Wenjun joked, "It's not that my mom doesn't read those things, she does, but she doesn't believe them that much. But you're right about one thing, the most important thing is that your personalities are compatible. No matter how compatible other things are, if your personalities don't match, it won't last long."
"Yes, yes, Wenjun is right. This is very important. My son is a repressed person. In addition, he is not good at socializing with his legs and feet. Especially with women, he will run away after just a few words. I am really worried! What kind of partner should I find for him with this kind of personality?" Mother Qin was so worried that she was almost bald.
Zhang Wanwan didn't think it was a big deal. "Aunt, why don't you ask Wenbin? He's at home these days anyway. Talk to him and see if he has any ideas. If not, you can always go find my mom. She loves matchmaking the most, and she doesn't have much to do right now. It's a good opportunity to find something for her to do."
Qin Wenjun smiled secretly and patted Zhang Wanwan in a reproachful manner. How could anyone speak ill of his own mother like this?
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother hurried downstairs to find Qin Wenbin, and her attitude was so unrestrained that no one could believe what she said.
As soon as she left, Qin Wenjun said, "My parents have been so happy since this house was built that they haven't slept for days and nights. Think about our previous house in An County and compare it with this one. You can feel their feelings even without me saying anything."
When people reach middle age, they think that their life will be like this, but they can have such good fortune. For honest people like Qin's father and mother, they would not even dare to dream of it. It is precisely because of this that they cherish and love it so much.
Zhang Wanwan nodded in understanding.
The two of them and a little kid sat there eating, drinking and watching the show, and only went downstairs when Qin's mother called them to go downstairs to eat.
After a while, Zhang Baiyan also came over on an electric bike and joined them for a good gathering.
At the dinner table, Qin's mother couldn't resist her curiosity and asked about some things in Beijing. Zhang Wanwan only talked about what she could say and concealed what she couldn't say. Everyone had a happy meal, and when they left, Qin's father and mother even sent them to the main road.
