A meal of mutton hotpot cost more than ten yuan.
After eating, they would hold hands and stroll on the street to help digest the food. If they came across any delicious snacks, they would buy some.
It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that the three of them returned to the hotel to wash up and rest.
The next day, Chen Wang got up first and went out to buy breakfast.
"Your lease expires at noon today. Are you still renewing it?"
Just as I went downstairs, I heard a voice from the front desk.
Chen Wang stopped, looked at the woman sitting behind the front desk, and walked over.
"Please extend our lease for two more days!"
Even if you have found a house today, most of the formalities cannot be completed.
I paid another 72 yuan and extended the room for two days.
I have to say that consumption in the capital is really extraordinary.
After two days, all expenses added up to more than two hundred yuan.
Of course, the biggest expense is still the rent.
After buying breakfast and bringing it back to the hotel, my wife and the little girl also got up.
After breakfast, Chen Wang took his wife and little girl out and took the bus to the place where they had viewed the house yesterday.
From a distance, I saw Xiao Tang already standing in the public telephone booth waiting.
Chen Wang raised the watch on his wrist to check the time. There were still more than ten minutes until the agreed time of eight o'clock.
"Brother Chen!"
Xiao Tang also saw them and waved and greeted them with a smile.
"Xiao Tang, you're here so early?"
Chen Wang quickened his pace and walked towards him with a smile.
"No, I've only been here a few minutes."
Xiao Tang smiled and looked at Lin Xiuqin and the little girl behind him.
"This must be my sister-in-law and sister, hello!"
"Hello, big brother!"
The little girl responded with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin also smiled and nodded.
"Brother Chen, what do you say? Should we continue to look at the houses we saw yesterday, or should we look at new ones?"
Xiao Tang looked at Chen Wang and asked.
"Let's look at a few new ones first. I'll compare them with yesterday's. If you think yesterday's set is better, we can go look at it together."
Chen Wang expressed his thoughts.
"Okay, let's get started now? By the way, have you had breakfast?"
“I ate it!”
"Okay, let's go, let's take a look at the house first, and you must give me a chance at noon to treat Brother Chen and the others to a meal."
"I'll talk to you later."
"Okay!"
Xiao Tang smiled enthusiastically and nodded, walking in front to lead the way.
In the following hours in the morning, Chen Wang and his two companions, led by Xiao Tang, visited several courtyard houses.
Most of the courtyards are rather dilapidated. According to Xiao Tang, many owners of the courtyards want to sell their assets and immigrate abroad to live.
Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In this era, there is no doubt that most Chinese people think that the moon is rounder abroad.
But in just a few decades, these immigrants will regret it.
At noon, Chen Wang and his two companions had lunch at a nearby restaurant at Xiao Tang's invitation.
The dishes were all relatively affordable and didn’t cost much, but they tasted very good and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
"Xiao Tang, take us to see the second set we saw yesterday and the last set of courtyards. Let my wife compare them and finally decide which one to buy."
Chen Wang said with a chuckle.
"Okay, no problem."
Xiao Tang nodded and agreed with a smile on his face, which was a reassurance.
"Brother, you are so kind to your sister-in-law."
Walking side by side with Chen Wang in front, Xiao Tang turned his head to look at Lin Xiuqin and flattered her with a smile.
Before, he was wondering why Lin Xiuqin didn't speak all morning. It was not until they had dinner together just now that he found out that Lin Xiuqin was unable to speak.
Therefore, in his opinion, Chen Wang, who is tall, handsome, rich, and yet can be so good to a mute wife, is something he admires very much.
Working in this business in the capital, he has seen many wealthy people living lavishly, spending money like water on the beautiful women around them, but not even willing to give living expenses to their wives at home.
"Your sister-in-law is very kind to me, but you just didn't see it."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
The conversation between the two reached Lin Xiuqin's ears, causing a gentle smile to appear between her brows.
"Is that so? That's a relationship where everyone can support each other and everyone will envy you. That's even better."
"Haha...Xiao Tang, with your ability to speak in a pleasing way, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
"Thank you for your good words. I hope so!"
Xiao Tang also laughed happily.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Chen Wang asked casually.
"Not yet. I'm an outsider. I just want to make more money and buy a house in the capital to settle down. Then I can consider this matter."
Xiao Tang replied with a smile.
Chen Wang patted his shoulder and advised him with the tone of an experienced person: "Listen to me, a man's career is indeed important, but don't delay starting a family. When you really make enough money to buy a house, the girl who approaches you at that time may not really like you."
Xiao Tang was stunned when he heard this.
There was no mobile phone or Internet back then, and the relationships between men and women were mostly pure and innocent, so few people heard such words.
However, Xiao Tang is also a smart man. After a little thought, he can understand the deep meaning of this sentence and think it makes sense.
"Brother, you know a lot."
The way Xiao Tang looked at Chen Wang changed, and there was a bit more admiration and respect in his eyes.
Chen Wang waved his hands in amusement, thinking that the gap between the rich and the poor was not big enough and the news was not spreading fast enough.
In a few decades, even elementary school students will understand these principles.
After about half an hour, we visited the two courtyards that Chen Wang thought were the best yesterday.
"Wife, you decide. Think about which one you like best and we'll buy it."
Chen Wang looked at Lin Xiuqin and said.
Lin Xiuqin frowned slightly, looked around, and thought seriously.
"Brother, I think the last set we watched this morning was better."
The little girl spoke.
Chen Wang thought about it, smiled and shook his head, "That house does look new, but we are not buying it to live in. It doesn't matter whether the house is new or old. The main thing is to look at the location, area and layout, which are more important for the future appreciation of the house."
"Really?"
The little girl tilted her head, looking confused.
When Lin Xiuqin heard what he said, she compared the conditions of several courtyards in her mind, and finally made a gesture to Chen Wang.
She thought the previous one was the best.
"It seems like we are in sync. I also think the previous one is better."
Chen Wang smiled cheerfully, then looked at Xiao Tang and said, "Xiao Tang, let's just say the same thing, 14,800, right?"
"Yes, yes. If you have enough patience, I can negotiate with the landlord and try to give you a lower price, but this will take time."
Xiao Tang said with a smile.
"No, I can agree to this price, but I want to sign the contract as soon as possible. I'll sign it in the next two days, and then I'll go back home."
"That's no problem. I can go to the public phone booth and contact the owner right now."
