Chapter 160: Fleeting Years
After the summer vacation, the house in Jinxiu Garden was so quiet that it was hard to get used to it. Even the little kid Yang Liuliu would hold up his chubby face and say solemnly, "I miss my brother and sister so much!"
But soon, everyone adapted quickly. After all, those who went to work went to work, and those who went to school went to school.
When you are busy, no one has time to be sentimental.
The year 2000 came to a successful conclusion amidst a busy schedule.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren took advantage of Wang Shan working on the computer in her room to do another accounting.
The mortgage for Hua'anyuan was finally paid off. Not only did the investment in the Internet cafe pay off, but the remaining money plus the money Wang Xiuren earned this year was enough to pay off half of the loan for Taoyuanju.
"In another two months, we will be completely debt-free!" Wang Xiuren stretched comfortably.
Lin Qiu also smiled and closed the account book, "Don't work so hard in the future."
She continued to count on her fingers, "Over the past few years, we have saved up a total of seven houses, a convenience store, and an Internet cafe. From the Internet cafe, convenience store, and rent, we will have tens of thousands of dollars in income every month."
Wang Xiuren shook his head. "Who knows how long the Internet cafe business can last? In the second half of the year, the Internet fee will drop from 10 yuan an hour to 5 yuan an hour. If you book it overnight, it will only be 3 yuan an hour. The profit will definitely not be that high in the future."
"That's true. Prices are rising every year."
Lin Qiu is in charge of the store's purchase and shipment, so she knows the prices very well.
"So, I should make more money while I'm still young." Wang Xiuren lowered his voice again, "From what Teacher Guo said, Shanshan is probably going to pursue a career in painting. If she wants to continue like this, she needs to prepare more money, right?"
Lin Qiu nodded, "Nothing is cheap when studying art."
"And what if, I mean what if, our Shanshan wants to go abroad in the future, we have to prepare more tuition and living expenses for her." Wang Xiuren thought of the two children that Adage's family sent to study in the United States. He heard that the annual expense was six or seven hundred thousand.
Lin Qiu looked at him with admiration, "You think long-term! I haven't thought of this yet."
"Isn't this the example of Adage's family?" Wang Xiuren looked back at his daughter's room. "Although the two of us can't compare to Adage's family, Shanshan is no worse than other children. As long as she has this idea, we as parents must do our part."
Lin Qiu agreed very much, "Then when we have extra money, I think we should buy a house."
"Buy more?" Wang Xiuren was a little surprised.
Lin Qiu's eyes were determined, "I've thought about it, we don't have the ability to do anything else, so let's just buy a house and collect rent!" Look, from the year we came here to now, how many times has the rent increased? Buy it now while we can still afford it, so that we can make money even when we lie down. ”
Wang Xiuren pondered for a moment and felt that Lin Qiu was right. "Then I'll listen to you! I'll go take a look at the property when the time comes."
"This time, we won't look at commercial housing."
"What are you looking at?"
“Look at the self-built houses in the urban villages.”
"Will their village agree?"
Wang Xiuren had seen the extraordinary clan relationships here with Axing and Adage, and did not think that outsiders could easily buy self-built houses.
"I'm not looking for them to buy land and build houses." Lin Qiu thought of the news he heard in the store a few days ago, "I heard someone say that a villager in Longhua sold his house and went abroad."
Wang Xiuren was a little skeptical. Although he didn't know whether the self-built houses of local villagers could be bought and sold, Pengcheng was a special economic zone and the land definitely could not be bought and sold.
"I'll go check with Ah Xing first before making a decision!"
Lin Qiu thought about it and realized that he still had a loan of over 100,000 yuan to pay off, so he was not in a hurry. "Okay, it's better to find out more."
The couple then packed up their things and prepared to go see what Wang Shan was doing.
What is Wang Shan doing?
Wang Shan is chatting with Huang Jiahao on QQ!
Huang Jiahao, also known as Ah Hao, learned that Wang Shan was also playing "Minesweeper World" during a dinner between the two families before the New Year, and the two quickly started communicating.
Ah Hao taught Wang Shan some game skills which helped Wang Shan's minesweeping skills quickly improve.
So the two of them would take a few minutes every day to chat about games on QQ.
Ah Hao also lent Wang Shan the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that his cousin left to him.
However, later on, the two had a disagreement about whether Li Xiaoyao liked Zhao Linger or Lin Yueru.
Ling'er!
Li Xiaoyao must like Zhao Linger the most!
How could he possibly like Lin Yueru?
After school started, Wang Shan and Ah Hao would greet each other when they met at school, and occasionally borrow extracurricular books from each other, which shocked her good friends Huang Xinxin and Sun Jiayi.
That day, when Huang Xinxin and Sun Jiayi heard Wang Shan and Huang Jiahao say "Let's talk about it on QQ tonight" in the cafeteria, their gossiping spirits burned.
The two of them mysteriously brought Wang Shan to the banyan tree under the teaching building, and held Wang Shan's arms on the left and right.
"Student Wang Shan, tell us the truth, what happened?" Huang Xinxin smiled gossipy.
Wang Shan was confused, "What's going on?"
Sun Jiayi asked directly: "Do you like Huang Jiahao?"
"Ah ha?" Wang Shan finally understood what they were talking about.
"Brother Ahao and I have known each other since we were young, and his father and my father are good friends." Wang Shan explained.
Huang Xinxin heard it and said, "Wow, they are childhood sweethearts!"
Wang Shan saw her good friend like this and said with a frown: "If that's the case, Xinxin, you and him are also childhood sweethearts."
"How come?"
Huang Xinxin and Sun Jiayi said in unison.
"Because he and we went to the same nursery." Wang Shan added: "You both have the surname Huang, maybe you are from the same family?"
Huang Xinxin widened her eyes, looked at the excited Sun Jiayi, and directed the topic to her: "Jiayi, do you like Huang Jiahao?"
Sun Jiayi's face turned red instantly.
Seeing her friend blush so easily, Wang Shan was puzzled: "Why?"
"Huang Jiahao is so handsome!" Sun Jiayi clenched her fists.
"He is the most handsome in the whole school! His school uniform is always the cleanest and his sneakers are the whitest. He also has good grades and knows martial arts!"
Wang Shan thought it was just average. "Let me tell you, the older brothers in Pengcheng University are really handsome!
The topic suddenly changed direction.
“Is this true or false?”
"Of course it's true! He's more handsome than Alec Su and Nicholas Tse!"
"Wow! Call me next time you go to Pengcheng University!" Huang Xinxin looked expectant.
"Aren't you going to the English interest class?" Wang Shan reminded.
"Ah!" Huang Xinxin wailed, "Can I learn to paint too?"
Sun Jiayi added: "Your mother won't agree!"
......
The three of them were laughing and playing together.
