Chapter 326 Loan to buy a house
This was true. Chen Chunhua noticed that Lin Shuying had gained some weight on her face, but not the kind of fat. She looked just right, round and healthy, much better than the shriveled, yellow-haired girl.
"You've been really hard-working during this time, mother-in-law." Chen Chunhua thanked Huang's mother. "When this child is on her own, she eats in the cafeteria when there is one, and likes to mess around when there isn't. I was worried she couldn't take care of herself. Now that you're watching over her, her father and I feel much more at ease."
After a whole night, Mother Huang finally heard the person on the other side calling her "mother-in-law". Her eyes were so smiling that they could not be seen.
"Oh, we're family now. Shuying is just like our daughter, so we definitely can't let her go hungry, right? Shuying, from now on, just tell Auntie what you want to eat so she can buy the food early and you can come and eat after get off work!"
…
Lin Shuying felt really comfortable living in Shanghai, and the Huang family was really good to her, so Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua were relieved.
But if you want to get engaged, you still have to discuss your requirements in advance. Otherwise, once the engagement is made, you will have to get married in the future unless something unexpected happens. It will be troublesome if you regret it then.
The Lin family’s requirements were very simple. First of all, the couple must have their own wedding house instead of living together with their parents-in-law.
Huang Xinli now lives with his parents in a 70-square-meter apartment, which was the staff dormitory allocated by Huang’s father’s former school.
The area is not even as big as the apartment that Lin Shuying lives alone now. I remember very clearly when Chen Chunhua bought it for her. It was 98.95 square meters, which cost almost one hundred yuan.
Chen Chunhua meant that it would be best if the Huang family had enough money to buy a new house. The extra house could be rented out and could also provide some additional living income for the future couple.
If I can't buy another house, I'll live in Lin Shuying's house. Anyway, it has everything a house should have, and I don't even need to buy furniture like a refrigerator or a color TV.
But the Huang family will definitely make compensation somewhere else. As for what compensation?
Liang Shengdi suggested buying a car for the young couple. Shanghai is so big, and she thought it would be tiring for them to ride bicycles.
Lin Shumei asked if she could buy her sister a set of gold jewelry? Earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets are all necessary, because she's getting married!
Lin Shuchao said he heard that it is popular in Guangzhou to buy mobile phones, which can be used to make calls wherever you go. It is very cool, so why not buy one?
…
Mr. and Mrs. Huang: ...Then it would be better to buy a house, at least we can actually live in it.
"We were hoping that Xinli's company would allocate him a house, but seeing as he's only been working for two years, the possibility of him getting one soon isn't very high."
Mother Huang rubbed her hands. "As you know, his father and I are both teachers. We have some savings, but not much. If you agree, we can pay the down payment first, and then we two old people will pay the mortgage for them every month. What do you think?"
Nowadays, very few people take out loans to buy houses. After all, it is no different from being in debt. If it weren't for Chen Chunhua and the others sitting opposite her today, Mother Huang would not have proposed this plan.
After all, people who do business can psychologically withstand this kind of advance payment.
As expected, Chen Chunhua didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. Isn't it just buying a house with a mortgage? And how many people can actually buy it in full later?
"Sure, a down payment is enough for you, and the couple can pay the rest themselves." Chen Chunhua is not the kind of person who will ask for more. The current housing prices are definitely still very expensive compared to wages, but paying off the mortgage slowly, dozens or hundreds of dollars a month, is really nothing.
If it really doesn't work, she can also give some support to Lin Shuying.
Huang's mother didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to, so she showed her utmost sincerity.
"Whenever we get engaged or married, we'll definitely set up a few tables at the hotel. You can come and try out the hotel's dishes, mother-in-law. Oh, and there's also a good time..."
"We can wait until after the Chinese New Year and pick a date together." Chen Chunhua said with a smile, "Then we will definitely hold a wedding in the village. This girl is marrying far away, and we must not miss this wedding banquet for the relatives and friends in the village."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mother Huang responded quickly, "We will also pay for the wedding banquet over there..." She had inquired about the customs of Yue City before, and it seemed that the man's family had to give the woman's family a sum of money for the wedding banquet.
Chen Chunhua waved her hand and said, "Well, we will pay for the village banquet. After all, it's a wedding banquet here. The two children like each other and have a long life together. That's the most important thing. There are no other rules."
"Yes, yes, mother-in-law, you really hit the nail on the head." Mother Huang held Chen Chunhua's hand, "We only have this one son, and everything that Old Huang and I have in the future will belong to them. The most important thing is that the two little ones can live a good life."
…
It was three days later when the family left Shanghai.
Although they had traveled to Shanghai before, Huang Xinli still took them on another tour. Chen Chunhua also went to see Donghua. Donghua also gritted her teeth and bought a small house in Hudong this year, saying that she might move her store here to do business next year.
They also made another big purchase at the department store. The sisters Lin Shuying and Lin Shumei were still muttering that the most important things for their family in Shanghai were those department stores. Without them, the Lin family from top to bottom would not be able to survive.
The most convenient way to get from Shanghai to Jiangxi Province is either by train or by boat. A large ship takes more than ten hours, or about an entire night, to get there.
The second class cabin has 4 people in a room, the third class cabin has 8 people in a room, and the fourth and fifth class cabins have wooden chairs.
Lin Guoqing booked three first-class cabins, one for him and Lin Shuchao, one for Chen Chunhua and Lin Shumei, and one for Liang Shengdi.
Everyone had a good sleep before going to Jiang Province to see the second brother.
The first camera they bought was given directly to Lin Shuying. Later, when they had time to stroll around the area, they found that they still wanted to take pictures, so they bought another one.
I also brought my camera with me this time and took a lot of photos in Shanghai, which I couldn’t take on the boat.
Liang Shengdi sat on the sofa in the first-class cabin, with her head and chest held high and her legs crossed, while Lin Shumei was holding a camera and looking for an angle not far away.
"Grandma, lift your chin a little higher, that's right! That hand is on your knee, and the other is holding the sofa arm...
Stretch it out a little more, yes, yes, yes! That’s the feeling…
Don't move! 1! 2! 3! "
"Crack!"
The image of Liang Shengdi as a noble and cold old lady was preserved, waiting to show off her former elegance to her great-grandchildren in ten or twenty years.
