Early the next morning, Cheng Zhiqian and Yang Yingsong came over.
Cheng Zhiqian returned to his clean, tidy and energetic appearance.
After getting the marriage certificate, the four of them went to a restaurant to celebrate.
Looking at the marriage certificate in Cheng Zhiqian's hand, Li Qiumei sighed.
I originally planned to live alone for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to get married again.
Yang Yingsong peeled a few melon seeds for Yang Huaihua: "Huahua, my parents went back to their hometown in the countryside after retirement.
Tomorrow, the two of us will go back and tell them the good news.
So that they don’t have to keep urging me to get married and have kids, I can give them a one-step solution this time.”
Yang Huaihua nodded: "Okay."
Li Qiumei patted her and said, "So now you are only responsible for nodding and shaking your head."
Yang Huaihua hummed, "Yes, I follow my husband wherever he goes. I'll just let Yang Yingsong arrange everything."
Cheng Zhiqian took Li Qiumei's hand and said, "Qiumei, let's go home and decorate the new house."
Li Qiumei was unhappy: "Cheng Zhiqian, didn't I tell you last night that I would not live with your family?
When I buy a house, I will use it as a new home."
Yang Yingsong smiled: "Qiumei, do you mean to ask the head of the group to come to your house?"
Yang Huaihua answered first: "What do you know? Qiu Mei means that she and Cheng Zhiqian want to live alone.
This way there will be no family conflicts and life will be less stressful.
If your parents live with you, I won’t go to your house either.
Cheng Zhiqian, since you promised Qiu Mei, you can't go back on your word."
Cheng Zhiqian scratched his head and said, "I don't regret it. I just thought that I haven't bought a house yet.
Why don't you use my room as your wedding room first, and then slowly finish it after the wedding."
Yang Yingsong winked and said, "This is our leader's first marriage, you should understand that he is anxious, let's have the wedding night first and then buy a house.
Come on, come on, let’s eat quickly. After lunch, we’ll go find Aunt Sun.
The old lady is very familiar with the houses in this area and knows who is buying and selling houses.
Leader, give her a few dollars and ask her to find you a good house.
With any luck, it will be done today.”
After dinner, Yang Yingsong wanted to send Yang Huaihua back to rest: "Huahua, looking at houses is a physical job. You are pregnant, so don't join in the fun.
I can just go and help out at our house."
Yang Huaihua refused to give in: "Qiu Mei buying a house is such a big deal, I have to go and take a look at it too."
Yang Yingsong was helpless with her. Li Qiumei found that these two people with similar personalities seemed to get along well after marriage.
Aunt Sun is an old lady in her fifties. She has short hair that reaches her ears and is pinned behind her ears with two straight clips. She speaks quickly.
"You came just in time. Section Chief Liu from my son's unit has been transferred, and both he and his wife have been transferred back to Beijing.
I heard that this house needs to be sold urgently.
Come on, I'll take you to see it."
Aunt Sun pushed out a tricycle and said, "Let's go by bike."
Yang Yingsong rode a tricycle pulling Yang Huaihua and Aunt Sun, while Cheng Zhiqian and Li Qiumei followed them at a quick pace.
Arriving at Fuchun Street, Aunt Sun pointed to the houses on the right and said, "This is the residential complex. It was built only a few years ago. I went in and saw that every room is brightly lit.
Moreover, this house is better built than those in the neighboring communities.”
Li Qiumei asked her, "Auntie, does your son's family live here too?"
Aunt Sun shook her head. "How could my son be qualified to live here? He's just an ordinary employee. To live here, you have to be at least a deputy section chief."
Yang Huaihua asked, "Will the company take back the house?"
“No, several of them have already been sold.
Although this house is welfare housing, I qualified by scoring based on my position and length of service, and then paid for it.”
"Then why doesn't your son buy it?"
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Their company has built another building on the street behind. I guess he will be the next one to buy.
Although the location over there isn't as good as this one, it's a new house and it's much cheaper than this one."
Li Qiumei remembered that the provincial hospital was nearby. She had been hospitalized here in her previous life. There were tall buildings on both sides of this street.
That means this area was later demolished.
When they arrived at the gate, Aunt Sun jumped down and said a few words to the old security guard, and the old man opened the big iron gate.
This house has a total of five floors. The house that Aunt Sun mentioned is on the third floor. It is said to be 75 square meters, but the actual area is about 100 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Just as Aunt Sun said, this house is square, open from north to south, and the distances between buildings are also very wide.
Aunt Sun took Li Qiumei to a small bedroom.
"Look, go out from the back door of the community, walk past the red house, and next to it is Hongqi Primary School.
This school teaches better than the No. 1 primary school in the city. If you buy a house here, it will be very convenient for you to pick up and drop off your children in the future."
Yang Yingsong nodded: "The teaching quality of this Hongqi Primary School is indeed the best in North City.
In the future, I will also send my son here to study."
Li Qiumei laughed and teased him: "Why don't you teach it yourself instead of sending it to me?"
"It is our responsibility as parents to choose the best school for him," Yang Yingsong said confidently.
Aunt Sun patted Li Qiumei and said, "There's a vegetable market diagonally opposite the school. I've been there before. It's crowded and they sell all sorts of things.
Also, look at my memory. The provincial hospital is nearby and only takes a few minutes to walk there.
The reason this house is priced so high is because it is convenient in every way.”
Yang Huaihua asked Yang Yingsong, "How far is this house from my home?"
"It's not far from our house, just a few blocks away."
Yang Huaihua was unhappy: "I was talking about where I live now, not your home."
Yang Yingsong said with a playful smile: "We are one family now. Your home is my home."
Yang Huaihua reached out and pinched Yang Yingsong on the waist.
Yang Yingsong grinned: "Huahua, this house is a bit far from where you live now. You have to take several buses to get there."
Cheng Zhiqian told Aunt Sun: "Take us to see other places."
A few people followed Aunt Sun to look at several more houses, and they always felt that the first one was better.
After some bargaining, I finally bought it for 1,500 yuan.
Section Chief Liu and his wife were educated youth who went to the countryside back then. They had no relatives here, so they simply left all the furniture and appliances to Li Qiumei.
Sitting in the house she bought, Li Qiumei was very happy. She could sleep here tonight and no longer had to worry about being homeless.
Li Qiumei drove both Cheng Zhiqian and Yang Yingsong out.
"Sister Hua, we've been busy all day and haven't had time to tell Ruyue about our marriage.
I'll go find her tomorrow, and when you return from Yang Yingsong's house, come and join us."
"Ding ding ding." Someone knocked on the door.
