"Mom and Dad, don't be too surprised by what I'm about to tell you. I made money, I made seven figures. My uncle said he'll take me to open a bank account this weekend and put all the money in that account for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli both stared at her with blank expressions.
What did they just hear?
How much money has their eldest daughter, who just turned eight, earned?
How many digits?
"Then, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on: whether or not to buy a house in Anlu Town. My uncle has already inquired and found that a new housing development has been built near the porcelain factory, with large houses of 200 square meters, which is only a 15-minute drive from the porcelain factory."
“When Xiaohong grows up, she will have her own room, and Yangyang and I will also have our own rooms, and a guest room. We’ll buy a bare-bones apartment so we can decorate it according to our own ideas. I’m only in fourth grade now. After graduating from sixth grade, I can go to junior high school in Anlu Town, so I’ll have plenty of time to decorate it…”
Shen Qingqing kept talking about things that were constantly impacting and reshaping the mental world of Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli.
However, one sentence in particular touched them: Shen Hong will definitely have his own room when he grows up.
They're still young, so they can sleep in the master bedroom with them, but what will happen when they grow up?
Even if they sleep in the living room, it's still inconvenient for the two older sisters to come out of their rooms.
So the best scenario is indeed as Shen Qingqing just said: one room per person.
“Although the new apartment building might be a bit far from where Dad lives, he has a car now, right? When we return the car to Uncle Zhang, our family will definitely have enough money to buy Dad his own car.”
After Shen Qingqing finished speaking, she pursed her lips and looked at Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli with some nervousness.
Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong have already gone back to their room to sleep; children need a lot of sleep.
After Shen Qingqing stopped, the house became so quiet that only the sound of cars passing by on the road outside could be heard.
Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli remained blankly focused for a long time before finally processing what Shen Qingqing had told them.
With the money Shen Qingqing had as a foundation, the house purchase and renovation that Shen Qingqing mentioned was entirely feasible.
The housing prices in Chaocheng are not that outrageously expensive.
but……
As parents, they also have their own pride. They have considered buying a new house, and in their minds, it is something they, as parents, should consider in order to build a good future for their child within their means.
Instead of letting a child take on the entire responsibility.
Thinking this through, Li Xunli said, "Dabao, keep this money for yourself. When you grow up, you can do whatever you want. As for buying a new house, your parents will work hard. You'll have your own room, and your younger siblings' rooms will be available."
Shen Qingqing blinked. "But I want to buy it now. I want to design my own room so that when I graduate from elementary school, I can move into the new room that I like."
Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli exchanged a glance.
Li Xunli stepped down, and Shen Rongzhou took over: "Dabao, Dad promises you, Dad will work hard and try to buy you a big house with your own room after you graduate, how about that?"
"But Uncle said it's cheaper to buy now than later, and Uncle wants to buy it too." Shen Qingqing still insisted on buying it.
Shen Qingqing immediately rushed between her parents and pleaded, "Buy it, buy it! This way, Mom won't have to work so hard every day. In two years, Yangyang can go to primary school in Anlu Town, and Xiaohong can go to kindergarten there too."
Shen Qingqing was indeed a little troublemaker; in the end, even Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli couldn't withstand her.
They could only compromise and say, "Dabao, how about we think about this some more? When we have time, we'll find some time to go with your uncle to check out that property development you mentioned. If it's really good and suitable, then we'll listen to you and buy it, okay?"
Shen Qingqing immediately smiled, "Okay!"
Once she goes to see it, she'll definitely pester her parents to agree.
If they refuse, then she'll have to ask her uncle for help to buy it first, and then transfer the ownership later.
Now that things were out in the open, Shen Qingqing went to sleep without worry.
On Saturday, Shen Qingqing was taken by Li Xunjin to open a card.
Because she was too young, they could only give her a supplementary card under the name Li Xunjin.
After opening the bank account, Shen Qingqing watched as Li Xunjin transferred over a million yuan from his card to the newly opened account.
When they got back to the car, he gave the card to Shen Qingqing.
"Here you go. You set the PIN for this card yourself, remember it?"
Shen Qingqing stared intently at the card in her hand. Although she already knew she was a millionaire, she still felt a huge sense of unreality when she saw the card and the number in it with her own eyes.
Without looking up, she answered Li Xunjin's question, "Yes, I remember."
"But Uncle, Mom and Dad said they want to go with you to see that new housing development, and I want to go too."
Shen Qingqing looked away from the bank card, carefully put it in her pocket, and then told Li Xunjin about what Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli had talked about a couple of days ago.
“Sure, when would you like to go?” Li Xunjin drove back home.
"We'll have to ask them about that."
Shen Qingqing thought about it for a moment but did not set a time.
Although her father's job changed from two days off a month to two days off on weekends after he was transferred to work at the transportation subsidiary, Li Xunli's schedule was different, so it was necessary to coordinate Li Xunli's schedule.
After National Day, there are basically no holidays in the second half of the year, the nearest one being New Year's Day next year.
“Okay, once you’ve confirmed things with your parents, then tell your uncle.” Li Xunjin agreed.
After Li Xunli got home from get off work that evening, Shen Qingqing immediately asked when they were going to look at apartments.
Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli hadn't expected their daughter to be so concerned about this matter, so they had no choice but to discuss a time on the spot.
"Let's go take a look at it at the end of this month. If it's really suitable and Qingqing wants to buy it, then let's buy it." Shen Rongzhou finally set a time.
Shen Qingqing clenched her fists and gestured.
With this matter hanging in the air, Shen Qingqing went to school as usual while looking forward to the day she would go house hunting.
Finally, on a sunny day with a gentle breeze, they were off to look at houses!
