However, they didn't buy it in the end because Li Xunjin said that this was also the house Li Yuxing wanted to live in, and they would only buy it after Li Yuxing had seen it and was satisfied with it.
So after selecting a few nice apartment layouts, I looked at a few more houses, noted down the ones I liked, and left, planning to bring Li Yuxing to see them next time.
Shen Qingqing thought about it and realized it made sense. In her previous life, when her uncle bought Huafu Haoyuan, her grandmother had also spent a long time looking at the place before making a decision.
Furthermore, it's important to consider whether the date of purchase is unlucky.
In short, there are a lot of rules.
Shen Qingqing was suddenly relieved that they hadn't told Li Yuxing about their house-buying trip today. Otherwise, according to her grandmother's rules, what they could finish in one morning would have taken her a week or two to complete.
The longer it drags on, the less likely her parents will want to buy it.
However, before her mother went out to look at houses today, she also glanced at the almanac. If it wasn't a good day, they wouldn't have come to look at houses.
After all, her mother had been influenced by her maternal grandmother for so many years and had also begun to learn this set of established rules.
However, once the house is bought, the renovation and moving in absolutely cannot be kept from her grandmother.
Otherwise, the old lady would get angry and start yelling.
Her grandmother's cursing wasn't the kind that involved loud, forceful swearing. If she were to swear loudly, it would mean she wasn't really angry. When she was truly angry, her cursing was sarcastic and veiled, and she would occasionally let out a "humph" from her nostrils, indicating her dissatisfaction.
Hearing a sentence or two is fine, but you can't stand hearing it every day.
So after buying the house, they all went to the Li family's house together.
"Why did you all come here today?" Li Yuxing was a little surprised when she opened the door and saw Shen Qingqing and her family standing outside.
As soon as Shen Qingqing opened the door, she rushed over and hugged Li Yuxing: "Grandma! We bought a new house today and came to tell you. We also want you to help us decide when would be a good time to start the renovations!"
Li Yuxing initially had a smile on her face, but after hearing what Shen Qingqing said, her expression turned into a disapproving frown. She grabbed Shen Qingqing's arm and led her to the living room, muttering as she walked, "Why didn't you tell me about something so important..."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Shen Qingqing silently followed Li Yuxing inside.
Fortunately, after checking the calendar, Li Yuxing confirmed that today was a good day and suitable for buying a house, so she didn't say anything more.
"What date did you just ask me to show you?" Li Yuxing asked, holding the thick calendar in her hand.
"What day is suitable to start the renovation?" Shen Qingqing immediately replied.
The grandfather and grandson chatted back and forth, completely ignoring Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli.
Shen Yangyang, already familiar with the place, went upstairs to find Li Chunchun to play.
Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli had nothing to do either—checking the calendar was something they could do by waiting for Li Yuxing to finish and let them know when to do it—so the couple went to their room to see their youngest son.
Only Shen Qingqing remained, sitting alone beside Li Yuxing.
Li Yuxing flipped through the calendar in her hand very quickly, her five fingers pinching together several pages.
He kept muttering, "There are three auspicious days, and the zodiac signs are compatible. Go and call your mother out and ask her when she wants to start the renovation."
Shen Qingqing remained seated and didn't move: "Grandma, I can handle this. My mom already said I can design the house the way I want, and then find someone to do the renovations!"
Li Yuxing glanced at her and said, "If you don't understand something, just ask your uncle. He knows a lot."
"Yes, I know. It's the renovation team that my uncle found for me. But he hasn't found one yet, so I came to see you first to check the timing!" Shen Qingqing already knew that in her grandmother's eyes, her uncle was the most amazing person in the world.
She remembered that in her past life, when she was taking an exam, she was under too much pressure. After finishing the last subject, she thought she had failed and was in a bad mood. She didn't answer the phone call from her uncle who was trying to comfort her. Her mother said that after her grandmother found out about this, she kept telling her mother to have a good talk with her.
Her uncle himself didn't seem to care, but her grandmother was very anxious and upset. In the end, her uncle managed to calm her down.
She's perfectly fine.
To put it bluntly, dealing with her maternal grandmother is very simple. As long as it doesn't involve her uncle, her maternal grandmother will basically grant her every request.
“Since your uncle hasn’t been found yet, I’ll look at the dates later and add a few more days.” Li Yuxing put the calendar away and flipped through it again.
Shen Qingqing followed along, offering her advice, and after half an hour, they finalized two times.
Just as Li Yuxing was about to put down the calendar, Shen Qingqing remembered what Li Xunjin had told her before he went to the company, and quickly called out to Li Yuxing again: "Grandma! Wait a minute, Uncle said he also plans to buy a new house in Anlu, in Huafu Haoyuan. He went to see a few houses today and was thinking of taking you to see them in a couple of days. Why don't you check the dates too?"
Li Yuxing was surprised for a moment, but then immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"
After considering the zodiac signs and birth dates of all family members, and taking into account auspicious and inauspicious days, Li Yuxing quickly selected several good dates and then put away the calendar.
"I'm going to buy groceries. We'll eat at home tonight!" Li Yuxing said to Shen Qingqing, then grabbed her handbag and headed out.
After the two families had a lively dinner and chatted for a while, they took Shen Hong home.
October ended with the joyous occasion of buying a house, and in November, Shen Qingqing faced her first midterm exam of the first semester of fourth grade.
Then came more good news from Li Xunjin: they had found a suitable renovation company.
Li Xunjin also cared a lot about this niece. After comparing four or five decoration companies, he finally selected two good ones and brought them to Shen Qingqing.
After finishing her practice questions, Shen Qingqing went to the company with Li Xunjin.
Li Xunjin scheduled the two renovation companies to come at different times, one in the morning and one in the evening, leaving an hour of controllable time in between.
Shen Qingqing's impression of the people in the decoration company was still that of a group of chubby middle-aged men who would occasionally wipe their sweat with a handkerchief. She never expected that the person sitting in the conference room was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat refined.
Especially that lens, it looks like it's at least three millimeters thick.
Hearing the door open, the middle-aged man turned around, saw Li Xunjin, and immediately stood up, smiling very kindly: "Mr. Li, hello, hello!"
