Chapter 199 Changes
Several months passed in a flash.
Now it's the end of the year again.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and Zhao Yi had already returned to the repair shop to work.
Xu Chao had already been a formal maintenance technician in the garment factory. He had been dating his girlfriend for several months and had decided to hold their wedding in early spring.
"It's so cold, and you're still playing in the snow outside, and you don't even bother to do anything about it."
Zhang Jing watched her two little ones making a snowman in the yard and came to Zhao Yi's repair shop to complain.
"What should I do? Should I join in the pile?"
Zhao Yi glanced at Zhang Jing and smiled.
If they wanted to control Zhang Jing, they would have taken out the cane long ago. One word she said was much more effective than Zhao Yi's. The two little guys dared to reason with Zhao Yi, but they didn't dare to reason with Zhang Jing.
"I'm worried they'll catch a cold. What's so fun about snow?"
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
"Aren't you going to Kyoto for the New Year this year?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked, changing the subject.
"We just went to Kyoto on August 15th, so we won't go this year. Anyway, we've already bought the house, so we can go there occasionally to stay for a few days after we retire."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Many courtyard houses in Kyoto were in a hurry to be sold. Zhang Jing bought two courtyard houses under Su Hong's introduction. One of them was relatively small. It was said to be relatively small compared with those courtyard houses in Kyoto. It was more than twice as big as the house where Zhao Yi's family lived now.
It only cost four thousand five hundred dollars.
Nowadays, many courtyard houses are priced at around 10,000 yuan, so Zhang Jing was lucky enough to have found a bargain.
"Su Hong asked you to bring all your savings with you, but you only brought 5,000 yuan. You've been together for so many years, are you afraid that she'll cheat you?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and smiled.
"There are only four of us in our family, how can we live in so many houses? Su Hong thought I didn't have money, so she lent me 10,000 yuan to buy one. I said no, but she said it was okay and there was no rush for me to pay it back. She said we can pay it back slowly when we have money, which made me feel embarrassed."
Zhang Jing said this a little embarrassedly. When mentioning this, Zhang Jing felt a little sorry for Su Hong. The family had more than 20,000 yuan in savings, but Zhang Jing only brought 5,000 yuan.
Su Hong forced Zhang Jing to borrow 10,000 yuan, and Zhang Jing couldn't pay it back immediately. She was afraid that Su Hong would not trust her if she knew she had savings, which would affect their relationship. So she had to postpone the repayment for two years.
Zhang Jing was really reluctant to spend money to buy the courtyard house, but she could not resist Su Hong's constant persuasion, and she even paid for it out of her own pocket. Ten thousand yuan is a lot nowadays. Not to mention that the two of them are just good friends, even if a relative has so much money, you may not be able to borrow it from him.
So Zhang Jing really cares about Su Hong and is afraid that Su Hong might misunderstand something. It is a great blessing to meet a friend like this in a lifetime.
"Who told you not to trust others?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
Zhao Yi didn't know what inside information Su Hong had about the Siheyuan, he just knew that the housing prices in Kyoto in the future would be outrageous.
Although I have never been to Kyoto in my previous life, I know that the housing prices in Kyoto are astronomical.
"I don't believe I can go there with 5,000 yuan. I just didn't expect her to let me spend so much money."
Zhang Jing smiled.
"But we won't lose anything from this. Su Hong helped me rent out the courtyard house. We earn 300 yuan a year, which we can consider as interest to Su Hong."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Three hundred yuan a year is equivalent to many people's annual salary. As for who the property was rented to or for what purpose, Zhang Jing did not ask, but just took the property certificate back.
"As the head of the family, I still can't figure out the purpose of Su Hong doing this."
Although Zhang Jing believed in Su Hong unconditionally, she still couldn't understand why. What was the point of having more houses? Her family couldn't live in all of them. Even the courtyard house she bought could accommodate three generations of her family without any crowding.
"You ask me, how would I know? But Su Hong is well-informed and will definitely not harm you."
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said.
Although Zhao Yi didn't know Su Hong's purpose, he still chose to believe Su Hong.
Every year, she would send clothes, shoes and other things to Zhang Jing and the two little ones, and occasionally some rare toys. Zhang Jing had heard about Su Hong's family background, and such a family would not want anything from Zhang Jing.
The hair on her legs is thicker than the waists of Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi combined. She casually took out 10,000 yuan and lent it to Zhang Jing. Even though Zhao Yi already had more than 10,000 yuan in the bank, he would not be willing to lend it out like this no matter how good their relationship was.
The most you can borrow is one thousand yuan, and that only applies if the relationship is very good and the other party is in real trouble.
"Boss, how have you considered what Su Hong said?"
Zhang Jing suddenly changed the subject and looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Let's give it a try. Since they trust us, we can make a living by running the restaurant."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
Su Hong wants to invest in the South. A special economic zone has already been established in the South. Su Hong plans to let Zhao Yi go with her to see if there are any suitable business opportunities so that Zhao Yi can make some money.
If anyone else had said so, Zhao Yi would definitely not go. But since Su Hong asked someone to take Zhao Yi there, Zhao Yi still decided to go and take a look, as if he was asking for leave from the department store.
The two chatted for a while and then it was time for dinner.
At this time, there were a lot of people coming to eat.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, aren't you going to grab New Year's goods this year?"
"Why rush for New Year's goods? I've already booked a banquet here for New Year's Eve. I'm too lazy to prepare it myself."
"Yes, it's convenient to order it here. I can save up some meat coupons at home and buy some meat to go to my relatives' house to show my face."
The people who came to the restaurant to eat were chatting happily. Many of them had already reserved tables, but they would not eat in the restaurant. They could just come and take the food home to eat.
You have to pay a lot to buy anything at the vegetable market, so it’s more cost-effective here.
It's lunch time.
Zhang Jing also started a meeting with a few people.
"We'll have a holiday on the 28th. Are you going back or staying here?"
Zhang Jing looked at everyone and asked.
"Little sister, we have hosted more than 30 guests. Can we just leave?"
Zhang Xiang looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
"I have already discussed this with Master Liu Wentao. The reunion dinner is always the same, with one dish of braised fish and one dish of braised pork, and no other dishes. Start packing your things today if you are going to go home. I will take you to the bus station at noon tomorrow.
If you want to stay here, I will prepare food for you during this period. ”
Zhang Jing started distributing this month's wages.
The smiles on their faces grew even wider after they received their wages.
"Cousin, we are going back to celebrate the New Year."
Li Baoyu and Li Baoqin immediately raised their hands and said, since they could not help here, they would go home and reunite with their families.
Chen Jiao and Chen Min also raised their hands and said they wanted to go home.
Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen hadn't seen their son and daughter for more than half a year, so of course they wanted to go home.
"Then I'll take you to the bus station at noon tomorrow."
Zhang Jing nodded and went back home to prepare gifts. She let Li Baoyu and his sister take back the gifts from their eldest uncle, second uncle and grandparents, and let her second brother take back the gifts from her own parents.
