Chapter 147: Their House
There weren't many styles of furniture in the department store, and Chen Jintao felt there was nothing to choose from.
I chose two wardrobes that I liked, two upright cabinets, and finally a set of chairs and benches, and that was it.
But they had quite a lot to choose from, which was a big deal for the department store. After all, there weren't many people in this town who were willing to spend so much money.
So the salesperson was quite enthusiastic and offered to deliver the goods to their door.
Shen Jintao naturally would not refuse such a service.
After telling each other the address and agreeing on a time, they went to other places to look at things.
It mainly depends on what you need in the kitchen, such as bowls and chopsticks, which you have to buy, as well as pots. Anyway, I bought a lot of miscellaneous items.
Placing these things in the house makes the place look more like what it is.
They had to take these things back by themselves, but both of them could carry them.
Time flies so fast. After being so busy, the whole day is gone.
Fortunately, the furniture issue was settled and the items were delivered to the house.
However, since Uncle Li had not moved all his things away yet, they only put them there temporarily and nothing else was moved.
I guess we have to wait until Uncle Li finishes dealing with everything before we can actually move in.
It is actually very simple for Uncle Li to deal with these things. He just invites his neighbors to come and choose, which is equivalent to a half-buy, half-giveaway deal.
Everyone was quite happy. After all, Grandpa Li's house was only built a few years ago, and the furniture inside was quite good. So the neighbors were willing to spend a little money to buy these furniture back home, as they would always be useful.
It can even be said that the furniture in Uncle Li's house is considered to be very good in this area, and everyone still likes it very much.
Some families have children who are about to get married but don’t have enough money to buy new furniture, so using Uncle Li’s furniture would be a great choice.
I originally thought that it would take until the next day to completely finish buying all the furniture, but I didn’t expect to finish it on the same day.
Uncle Li handed the key directly to Shen Jintao, "I will give you the key to this house. If you are worried, you can change the lock yourself."
Chen Jintao felt quite embarrassed. After all, it was already quite late at this time. "Uncle Li, where are you staying tonight?"
"I'll just find a guest house to stay for one night. My son and daughter-in-law will pick me up tomorrow morning."
Uncle Li said cheerfully.
"You could have dealt with the bed tomorrow, why did you clean it all up today?"
"It's okay, it's okay. My son will borrow the company's car to pick me up tomorrow. I have packed up the other things at home, and I have asked someone to help me take them to the guesthouse. So I will just stay there and keep an eye on those things!"
There was nothing more to say after Uncle Li said that. Huo Beichuan said calmly, "Uncle, it's already quite late at this time. How about we take you there?"
Uncle Li waved his hand and said, "No, no, go and do whatever you need to do. I am very familiar with this area. I can't leave even with my eyes closed. It is really late. You should go home. This house belongs to you. Although I am no longer the owner of this house, I still hope you can treat it well."
Uncle Li has a lot of feelings for this house. After all, he built it brick by brick himself and put a lot of effort into building it. All the family’s savings over the years are in it.
It is because his son and daughter-in-law are now successful, have jobs in the city and have been allocated a big house, and because he thinks it is inconvenient for an old man like him to live here and he cannot take care of them, that he wants to take him away. Otherwise, Uncle Li would really be reluctant to sell the house.
"That's fine!"
Since everyone said it was not necessary, Huo Beichuan didn't say anything else.
After Uncle Li left, Shen Jintao took out the padlock she had bought in advance and looked at her man with a smile, "Do you think I am very foresighted?"
Huo Beichuan looked quite cute. He looked around very seriously and nodded solemnly, "She is really smart!"
Chen Jintao just wanted to make a few jokes, but she didn't expect the man to be so serious. She felt a little embarrassed by his look and quickly turned around to change the padlock.
She turned around and smiled at her husband, "Look, this house belongs to us now. When we go back and tell our parents the news, they will definitely be very happy."
"It's better not to tell them that this house was bought first, otherwise it might scare them." Huo Beichuan said.
"That's true!" Shen Jintao herself had also thought about this question.
I had no intention of telling them right away from the beginning.
So I decided to wait for a while before buying a house.
"Then tell them that the house is rented. How about three dollars a month?"
Huo Beichuan certainly had no objection.
To be honest, when he just got married to his wife, he was still thinking about raising her well, making her plump and white, and making her worry-free.
Who could have thought that my wife would be so powerful? Not only can she support herself, but her ability to make money is better than even those who flatter her.
Later, I heard my wife talk about how she knew the future would develop, and there was even less to say.
Having a prophet's daughter-in-law is even more incomparable to him.
After all, the money for buying the house was basically earned by my wife herself, and it was not given directly to her parents' home. However, he would have no objection even if it was really given directly to her parents' home.
"Sure, they don't know how much it costs to rent a house in town anyway, so let's just say three dollars is about right."
In fact, for such a large house with a shop, three dollars a month is really not expensive.
"It's decided then. Let's tell mom when we get back."
Xu Xuemei has been busy cleaning up now and business is still good today.
It’s not any worse than yesterday. After all, thanks to yesterday’s efforts, the reputation of popcorn and milk tea has been spread.
A lot of people came to buy today, many of whom were not available yesterday. Don’t they have to hurry up today?
I made popcorn four times today, and each time I filled a big bucket. This bucket was not the paper tube used to hold popcorn in later generations, but a super large wooden barrel.
But today, with the help of her sisters-in-law from her mother's side, Xu Xuemei was still able to handle the work, not to mention Liu Guifen.
After her sisters-in-law from her mother's family learned how to sell things, Xu Xuemei and Liu Guifen were responsible for running back home and transporting the finished goods to the town one batch at a time.
