When Li Chu said that, Wang Ziwen and Li Qin realized that their younger brother had to declare the family's assets every year because of the special nature of his work.
Thanks to his younger brother, their family's assets have been investigated several times. Fortunately, although the couple had been leaders for many years, they never stole anything they shouldn't have.
So all these years have been peaceful.
"I think that even if housing prices continue to rise in the future, they can't just keep rising without any end in sight. After all, people need to live in these houses. Oh, if a house goes up to tens of thousands of yuan, who can afford it?"
Li Qin still felt that her brother's claim that housing prices would continue to rise was a bit exaggerated. What are houses for? They're for people to live in. If prices rise so high that no one can afford them, then who will buy them?
Hearing his sister's words, Li Chu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Tens of thousands of yuan per square meter? Decades later, people will have to go to places outside the fourth or fifth ring road to buy houses that cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.
According to the people of Beijing today, this place is a rural area, and many parts of that area are no longer part of Beijing.
However, he did not refute his sister's words again, because people nowadays simply cannot imagine the housing prices back then.
After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the four of them sat in the living room and continued discussing Jia Yuan's marriage.
Nowadays, it's mostly the groom's family who has to worry about things when it comes to weddings. Ding Qiunan has already helped Li Qin sew several quilts and made a new wedding dress for Jia Yuan.
Wang Ziwen got a TV ticket and a voucher for a single-tub washing machine for her two children's new home. Whether they buy them or not is up to them.
The man's side cleaned up the house, furnished it, and even bought Jia Yuan a bicycle, a gold ring, and a pair of jade bracelets.
Wang Ziwen and Li Qin are already very satisfied with these, but Wang Jiayuan herself is extremely satisfied.
On the wedding day, the groom and his friends will ride bicycles to pick up the bride.
The banquet was held at the restaurant that Xu Damao and his family had just opened.
The four of them were chatting when Wang Jiayuan and the others returned after finishing their meal.
"Oh, you guys have already discussed it all over there?"
When Li Chu saw his nephew and niece return, he asked them what was going on.
"Uncle, Aunt, there's really nothing to discuss. It's mainly about trying out the dishes. My brother and I don't know anything about running a business, so we'll just do as they say. Anyway, we're not involved in the business."
Wang Jiayuan sat down next to Ding Qiunan and reached out to hug her aunt's arm.
When Li Qin saw Jia Dong holding his grandson, she quickly came over.
"They're asleep!" she said softly, then gently took the baby from her son's hands.
“She was running around and having a blast over there. On the way back just now, Jia Dong held her in his arms and she fell asleep within two minutes.” Cao Xiaojuan said as she helped her mother-in-law take off the clothes from the child in her arms.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carried the child into the bedroom.
Xiaoyu still sleeps with his grandparents at night, and Cao Xiaojuan is now enjoying a peaceful and carefree life.
When they first got married, she insisted that they live on their own. Later, after they had a child, she thought about taking care of the child herself. However, after only two days of taking care of the child, she made the child sick. After the rest of the family moved in, she realized that it was really nice to have her mother-in-law help take care of the child.
She doesn't have to worry about anything. When she comes home from get off work, her mother-in-law has already prepared the meal. Sometimes, when she and Jia Dong are busy with work, her mother-in-law even washes the clothes for the three of them.
After living together for several years, her relationship with her mother-in-law has gotten better and better. If you ask her to move back to her own home now, she won't agree at all.
Li Chu looked at his niece sitting next to his wife. Because she had gone to university, Jia Yuan had already become an old maid who was almost thirty years old.
In this day and age, there are almost no girls who are still unmarried at nearly thirty.
Wang Jiayuan felt a little strange being stared at by her uncle. She touched her face and asked, "Uncle, why are you staring at me like that?"
"I think that little girl who used to ask me for candy every time she saw me is finally getting married."
After Li Chu said that, Wang Jiayuan seemed a little embarrassed, and at the same time, she felt a little sad.
Before long, she will become someone else's wife, and this place will become her family home. When she comes back, she will be a guest.
Thinking about this, her eyes reddened.
"Uncle, thank you!"
"Huh? Why are you thanking me so formally?" Li Chu was genuinely confused by his niece's thank you, not understanding what she meant.
Wang Jiayuan turned her head to look at her uncle, pursed her lips, and then said, "Thank you for giving me that room over there and for tidying it up for me."
Li Chu smiled, waved his hand, and didn't respond to her words. Instead, he turned to his nephew and asked, "Jiadong, what's your opinion on this matter?"
"Uncle, I don't quite understand what you mean by asking?"
"Your uncle is asking if you would agree to give that house to your sister if you're unhappy about it."
Li Qin, who came out of the bedroom, spoke directly, and as she spoke, she made a point of looking at the expressions on her son and daughter-in-law's faces.
Both of them behaved normally. Cao Xiaojuan showed no other reaction whatsoever; she simply walked over, picked up the thermos, and filled everyone's cups with water.
Wang Jiadong glanced at his mother strangely, then turned to Li Chu and said, "Uncle, that house was given to my sister, not to anyone else. Why should I be unhappy?"
After he finished speaking, he paused to think for a moment and then continued, "Xiaojuan and I discussed it. My dad gave Yuanyuan a TV ticket and a washing machine ticket, right? We'll take care of one of them."
"No way, brother, how can I let you and my sister-in-law buy this?" Wang Jiayuan quickly refused as soon as Wang Jiadong finished speaking.
"Yuanyuan, don't be in such a hurry to refuse." After refilling everyone's water, Cao Xiaojuan put down the thermos and came over to sit on the sofa.
"Your brother and I have been living at home for the past two years, and our parents have taken care of all our food, drink and daily necessities. We originally planned to buy two items for you at the same time."
"But we just finished bidding on that restaurant, so buying everything together is a bit of a hassle for us. But buying one item is still manageable. You're our younger sister, so giving you some dowry is only right."
“Jiayuan, now that your brother and sister-in-law have made their decision, you should discuss it with Lin Li later.”
Seeing that her father had said that, Wang Jiayuan could only nod silently, and thanked Cao Xiaojuan again, her eyes becoming even redder.
Ding Qiunan looked at her niece sitting next to her with amusement and patted her leg: "Jiayuan, you should be happy to be getting married, don't act like this."
