Because it's not far, it only takes ten minutes to drive there.
After seeing Mayor Liao off, the young man got into the car and said, "Let's go back to the office. You can go straight home when we get back."
Xu Xiangyang naturally had no objections, replied "okay," and drove back.
Neither of them spoke on the way back, and they parted ways after they returned.
Xu Xiangyang returned the keys to the office before heading home.
By this time, the morning rush hour had passed, and there weren't many people on the road.
He returned home, and everyone was waiting for him to come back for dinner.
"Xiangyang is back, come and eat." Wang Zhongshan saw him enter the house and told Grandma Wang to bring out the food.
Xu Xiangyang washed his hands and then sat down on the stool.
I didn't do much today, but I still feel mentally exhausted.
He ate something quickly and then went home.
His family assumed he was in a bad mood and didn't ask any further questions.
After Wang Xiumin saw him leave, she said to Wang Zhongshan, "Dad, is Xiangyang having trouble at work? He doesn't seem very energetic."
During this time, she was worried about Xu Xiangyang. After all these years, she had only doted on him. Now that there were two more children, Xu Xiangyang was still the one she cared about the most.
Wang Zhongshan frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense. We can't help Xiangyang with anything. Just cook some good food when you're free."
What help can these women comrades possibly provide?
However, he did think about whether or not he should do it.
Xu Xiangyang returned to the house, locked the door, and then entered the space. There weren't many things inside, just grains, food, and outdated clothes.
He prepared the cash, deciding to go out and do something worthwhile later.
Xu Xiangyang has been thinking about how he can make money lately.
He now realizes that housing prices are not high, so he wants to hoard houses in large quantities. However, the movement is still ongoing, and if anyone discovers that he owns a lot of houses, he will definitely be arrested.
This is no different from the landlords of earlier years; they both monopolize power.
However, if we don't buy a house now, the price of houses will probably keep rising after the movement ends; that's bound to happen.
Xu Xiangyang didn't want to be a fool to buy when prices were low and then wait until they went up.
People nowadays aren't sensitive to real estate; as long as their home is big enough to live in, that's enough.
That's usually how it is. Buying a house not only requires spending a sum of money, but also buying other things. So how will you live after that?
We can't just say we'll eat today and talk about it tomorrow, can we?
Xu Xiangyang went out to check the time, and seeing that it was almost time, he went directly to the other side of the road.
He first went to a gold shop and exchanged his money for gold bars. Then he kept 200,000 yuan as a reserve and exchanged the rest for gold bars.
That way he can use it when he gets back, and he won't have to worry about losing the money and it becoming worthless.
After returning to his space, Xu Xiangyang put the gold bars he had exchanged and the gold bars he had received from Director Liu together.
These things are for future use, and he also has tens of thousands of yuan in cash, so now he's thinking about where to buy a house.
After taking a shower and leaving the room, he suddenly heard people talking outside, and their voices were quite loud.
He stood by the window and listened carefully; it was Aunt Liu from next door coming over.
"Xiumin, you know my family's situation. It costs five hundred yuan to get a wife, and I'm short two hundred yuan. Can you help me out?" Aunt Liu's voice was full of helplessness; she had no other choice.
They've only been neighbors for six months, and it's just not right that they're asking for money now.
Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes, as if he had remembered something.
Wang Xiumin was wrapped in a thick cotton-padded coat, her mind in turmoil. She did have money, but it was all given to her by Xu Xiangyang, and she had to save it for her child's future wedding.
She could lend it out now, and who knows when it would be returned. It wasn't that she didn't trust Aunt Liu, but she was worried that if it took too long, it would delay the money needed for her child's wedding.
She said with a troubled expression, "Sister-in-law, you know my Xiangyang is already twenty years old, and he might bring a girlfriend home any day. If we don't have money, I'm afraid it will delay his marriage, don't you think?"
Aunt Liu didn't look too good, but she understood that everyone in the family had sons, so of course she would understand.
She wouldn't have gone to this door if she hadn't really run out of money to borrow from, since they were just neighbors.
At this moment, Xu Xiangyang came out and then pretended to casually see the two people.
He greeted her in surprise, "Aunt Liu is here! Why don't you come inside? It's so cold outside."
Aunt Liu smiled awkwardly. Borrowing money was never a pleasant thing to say, which was why she didn't go inside.
"It's okay, I'm not cold! I'll just say a few words and then leave." She wanted to try again; if it didn't work, there was nothing she could do.
Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Aunt Liu, just tell me what's wrong. I'll definitely help you if I can. We're neighbors, after all. As the old saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, right?"
Hearing this, Aunt Liu felt truly warm inside. No matter what, the child's words were very kind.
Wang Xiumin, who was standing to the side, was a little anxious. "This child, they came to borrow money. They've already said that. How can things be okay if they don't lend the money?"
She tugged at Xu Xiangyang's clothes, but he pretended not to notice, which infuriated her.
Aunt Liu said, "Xiao Xu, it's like this, my son Liu Qing is getting married, right? We don't have enough for the bride price, so I'd like to borrow two hundred yuan from your family. I promise to pay you back before the new year next year, no problem at all."
They have three workers in their family, and their monthly salary is about one hundred yuan. But with so many people, they can't save enough money for anything.
However, saving up two hundred yuan in a year is not impossible; it's quite easy.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Is that all? Qing-ge's wedding can't be delayed. Mother, go inside and get the money."
His generous attitude infuriated Wang Xiumin. This child really doesn't know the value of daily necessities when he's not in charge of the household!
Two hundred yuan, you just lend it out like that?
This silly child!
But since the words had already been spoken and the money was earned by Xu Xiangyang, she had no choice but to go back and collect the money from him.
Aunt Liu was also surprised by his quick agreement and was extremely grateful to Xu Xiangyang.
"Oh, Xiao Xu, you've really helped Aunt Liu a lot! Don't say anything more, just tell me if you need anything in the future, and I'll definitely take care of you!" She was very happy, she hadn't expected this child to be so considerate.
That saying is so true: a close neighbor is better than a distant relative! This child is so good, so sensible! I thought it was impossible to borrow money today, but to my surprise, this child actually agreed!
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Liu, now that you mention it, I do have something I'd like to ask you for a favor!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu quickly assured her, "Tell me, I'll do anything I can for you."
The other child has already offered to help, how could she refuse? That would be incredibly inconsiderate.
