The pork chop was fragrant, and the dessert was especially delicious. Su Nian nodded in praise. Chu Beichen smiled and said, "After we get married, we can come to Shanghai every year!"
Su Nian thought of the high housing prices here. "Isn't the housing here very expensive? I can't bother Grandma every time I come here. It would be great if we had our own house!"
Chu Beichen reached out and wiped the cream off Su Nian's face. "House prices are very expensive, but not so expensive that I can't afford it. The money I have is enough for a down payment on a three-bedroom apartment!"
Su Nian was surprised. Chu Beichen had only been working for three or four years, and the down payment for a house in Shanghai would have to be at least 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, right? She suddenly remembered that Chu Beichen had been speculating in stocks, and that was probably how he made his money.
"Really," Su Nian was happy. She didn't have her own home in her previous life. After being tricked by Su Jianchun back to his hometown, she refused to marry the stupid younger brother of Su Jianchun's girlfriend and was locked up by her family.
Two months later, penniless, Su Nian escaped at night and hitched a ride to the provincial capital. At that time, Quzhou Medical College had just begun its new semester, and after Su Nian earned his first paycheck, he immediately called Lin Yuemei and asked her to apply for leave on his behalf.
After Lin Yuemei received the call, she agreed verbally, but actually ran to the Student Affairs Office to report Su Nian, saying that she had not taken the exam for no reason last semester and was not reporting for the new semester.
At that time, all students of Quzhou Medical College enjoyed state subsidies to varying degrees. Naturally, the school could not tolerate an unorganized and undisciplined student like Su Nian. After investigation and verification, it immediately announced the expulsion of Su Nian.
Su Nian had no choice but to stay in the provincial capital to make a living.
"Su Nian? What are you thinking about?" Chu Beichen saw Su Nian in a daze and waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Do you want to live here?"
Chu Beichen raised the corners of his lips, his smile a little mischievous, and added, "I mean after we get married?"
It had only been a month since they confirmed their relationship, so it was still too early to talk about marriage. Su Nian avoided answering Chu Beichen's question and asked him, "What are we going to do after dinner?"
"Zhongmao is right next to it. Grandma gave me some money. How about I buy you a chain?" Chu Beichen suggested with a smile.
"No, grandma was just joking, why are you joining in the fun?" Su Nian was embarrassed and annoyed. When the two of them were discussing that day, Su Nian did not stop them because grandma was old and it was difficult for her to refute her. But today, Chu Beichen was not so lucky.
Chu Beichen understood. The two of them had only been in a relationship for a month, and it was indeed a bit hasty to ask his grandmother to give him a gift.
"Okay, then let's not buy anything. We can just go shopping, right?" Chu Beichen readily followed Su Nian's lead and immediately continued with what she said.
By the time they left the red house, it was completely dark, and the dim streetlights lit up the roadside. The winter wind was a bit bleak. Chu Beichen wrapped his scarf around Su Nian and turned up his collar.
"I have to leave for work on the fifth day of the New Year," Chu Beichen's voice was a little lonely. Before he met Su Nian, he felt that it would be the same wherever he was. Now that he had Su Nian, Chu Beichen was reluctant to leave.
Su Nian thought for a moment, hurried a few steps, and followed Chu Beichen closely. "I said I was resigning last week, but Old Chen came to give me a banner, so I was delayed. I'll submit the report when I go to work tomorrow!"
"That's great!" Chu Beichen didn't want to be separated from Su Nian for even a second, "You haven't been to my house yet!"
"Beichen, the New Year is coming soon. Is it appropriate for me to go to your house?" Su Nian was a little embarrassed.
