Chapter 264
In the end, the Su family bought the Ye family's mansion at an extremely low friendly price of 22,000 yuan. Ye Han would not move out the furniture, so he also gave it to them.
Originally, Ye Han wanted to bear the corresponding taxes and fees himself, but Su Yuanzheng firmly disagreed. He felt that he had taken advantage enough and all taxes and fees should be borne by himself.
In addition to handling the real estate transfer procedures, there are many accounts that need to be transferred, and the water, electricity, and telephone bills also need to be changed to the name of the householder. Fortunately, there are not many people handling these businesses now, and they were all completed within two days.
After all, they had lived there for more than three years, and when they were about to leave, they found that they had quite a lot of luggage. The mother and daughter spent a week packing, and large and small bags and boxes were piled in the yard. The largest number of them were the precious books and materials.
Because there were many valuable items, after careful consideration, Ye Han finally decided not to ship them by post, but instead chose to charter a car to transport them to the capital.
At that time, there were very few people doing long-distance freight transport, and she had to ask an acquaintance at the TV station to find a truck driver willing to take the job. After all, the journey from Yongcheng to Beijing spanned half of China.
If you simply entrust the truck driver to transport the goods and then return to the capital to wait for delivery, it is inevitable that people will feel a little uneasy. Therefore, the safest way is to personally escort the truck.
The final arrangement was that Ye Jiayin and Aunt Shi, with whom she had previously been to Guicheng, would take the train back to Beijing, while Ye Han and another male colleague would be responsible for escorting the train.
Considering the long journey and various possible unexpected situations, they naturally prepared firearms in case of emergency.
The pure road fee for the driver is 200 yuan, and Ye Han will also be responsible for all the refueling, parking, accommodation and meals along the way.
The mountains were high and the road was long, so on the day of departure, they had to set off as soon as the sun rose.
In order to see them off, Su Ji closed the store for half a day. At four in the morning, the lights in the kitchen were turned on. Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu cooked all the Nancheng delicacies that Ye Han and Ye Jiayin liked to eat. After all, it was difficult to eat authentic food after returning to the capital.
At 5:30 in the morning, the truck driver, Shi Hongmei and another male colleague arrived one after another and helped load the luggage and belongings that filled half the yard into the truck.
The car was loaded and a table of steaming hot delicacies was ready.
There was still a big table set up in the front yard. Because it was still dawn, Su Yuanzheng turned on the lights in the yard. The warm yellow light reflected on him before saying goodbye, which always gave people an indescribable feeling.
Since the last trip to Guicheng, Shi Hongmei has followed Ye Han to eat here several times and knows Su Yuanzheng's cooking skills. Of course, she always brings souvenirs every time she comes.
But another male colleague had never eaten at Su Ji's before. When he had it for the first time today, he was full of praise: "Chef Su's cooking skills are really good! No wonder Director Ye always brags to us that he can eat delicious food every day."
Su Yuanzheng said modestly: "It's just home-cooked food, as long as it suits your taste."
"It's perfect! Oh! Director Ye is going back to Beijing, so we won't be able to eat here anymore. What a shame. But don't worry, Chef Su. I'm a local and won't be going to Beijing. I'll come here often. I just saw your menu. Self-service porridge, pork offal, braised food, and uncooked congee. Everything is my favorite."
Unexpectedly, he could gain a future loyal fan today. Su Miao smiled and said, "Okay, uncle, next time you come, we will give you a bigger portion."
"It's a deal!"
Everyone was talking and laughing, except for the driver who was unfamiliar with everyone and was eating silently. He only nodded and said "Hmm! Hmm!" in agreement when someone praised the taste of a dish.
After finishing the meal, it was already dawn. When it was time to say goodbye, Ye Jiayin took Su Miao's hand and said, "Miao Miao, please keep the phone number and address I gave you. We should talk often. If you have time to come to Beijing to play, remember to come and see me."
"Yeah, I get it, Sister Jiayin. Be sure to keep in touch!"
As they were about to get on the truck, Su Yuanzheng put a large package on it. "Xiaoye, the package contains some food, such as shredded papaya, glutinous rice cakes, and rice dumplings. There are also two bottles of mung bean soup. If you have trouble finding a restaurant on the road, you can fill your stomach with it."
"Lao Su! Thank you!"
"Okay! Have a good trip! Say hello to Old Ye for me!"
Watching the car drive away from the alley, Su Miao felt a little depressed. Su Yuanzheng saw that his daughter was unhappy and comforted her: "It's a good thing that Jiayin returns to the capital. Her family is already there. She can be with her parents every day when she goes back."
"Yeah, I know dad, I'm just not used to it."
"I know you're always with Jiayin, and you'll feel lonely now that she's back in Beijing. You could invite other friends to your house, like Wang Xin, Manman, Jiaqi, and the others. It's summer vacation now, so you can come over and do your homework together!"
"Dad, don't worry about me. I'll be fine in a moment. Aunt Ye has transferred the house to us, so our current living arrangements may have to change. We have a lot of things to do later, so we won't have much time to play."
"You should worry less. You'll be in your third year of high school next semester, and then your studies will get intense. So relax this summer. Dad can go with you wherever you want to travel."
"I've already made my study plan for senior year, so you don't have to worry. But I really want to go traveling, so I'll tell you when I decide where to go!"
Su Yuanzheng went to catch up on his sleep. He got up early in the morning, so the shop was closed for half a day. He started preparing ingredients for the dinner market at noon.
Su Miao was very energetic. There was nothing important to do anyway, so he would just wait until he felt sleepy before going to bed. The advantage of having a holiday was that he could eat and sleep whenever he wanted.
She went to the backyard to take a look and decided to move to the backyard with her father. In this way, the front yard and the store would be used exclusively for business, there would be more space for processing ingredients, and they would have a quieter time living in the back.
Aunt Ye and Jiayin kept all the furniture and appliances. After sorting out everything, they asked Aunt Ye to clean the house.
Previously, their family hired a cleaning lady to come to their house every few days to clean. Before leaving, they had told the lady that she didn't need to come anymore. Aunt Ye also gave her a red envelope to thank her for her dedication over the years.
The layout of the backyard room is the same as that of the front yard, and the furniture is similar, so she and her father only need to pack up their things and move in, without having to buy anything else.
Su Miao was still wandering around. Su Hui came in and saw her and said happily: "Miao Miao, the house next door is for sale. Do you want to buy it?"
