Chapter 181
Since she met her parents, Jian Li's little mouth has been chattering non-stop. When Wang Mengmei goes to bed at night, she hugs her daughter and still sighs about how much she has grown up.
As a result, when the family went out the next day, she felt that her feelings from last night were all empty talk.
This doesn't look like a grown-up girl at all!
He calls "Mommy" all the time, as if he is still a little baby.
The 1.73-meter-tall little "baby" Jian Li went out shopping and eating with her parents. In such a cold day, of course they went to eat mutton hotpot.
After eating shabu-shabu, we went to watch the flag-lowering ceremony and took a commemorative photo at Tiananmen Square.
The wind is cold and the flags are lowered, and another year has passed.
Jian Li watched the fading red sun disappear in the horizon, and the dark blue sky was dotted with sparkling stars. There would never be another moment like this that could make her feel happiness so concretely.
New Year, here she comes!

Cheng Yu had no classes in the afternoon, so after finishing her morning classes, she went to Peking University to wait for her brother to finish class.
When Tao Xingjian walked out of the campus, he saw his sister wearing bulging clothes and kicking stones under her feet.
"Brother! Why are you leaving class so late?"
We agreed to watch the fireworks display tonight. If we go later, we won’t be able to get a good seat!
Tao Xingjian raised his hand and looked at his watch: "No need to go so early, we will be in time if we drive there at three o'clock."
After a pause, Tao Xing asked, "What's up with Jian Li today? I saw she didn't come to class."
Cheng Yu: "Her parents are here to spend the New Year with her...Brother, why are you paying attention to Xiaoli? Could it be that you are..."
Tao Xing frowned, he felt that his sister was overthinking. Not to mention that Jian Li was younger than him, he always treated her as his sister. Just because Jian Li was Cheng Yu's good friend, he would not have any thoughts beyond the scope of the relationship.
"You think too much."
Cheng Yu was furious: "What do you mean I think too much! You dare to say you don't want to deduct Jian Li's usual points!"
Tao Xingjian: …
When Cheng Yu saw that his brother didn't say anything, he became even angrier and chased after his brother, demanding: "Xiao Li's grades are very good. Besides, you don't even check the attendance, so why are you so strict with my friend? If you really deduct Xiao Li's usual scores, I will... complain to my parents!"
Tao Xingjian helplessly raised his forehead and said: "What do you think of me... I didn't deduct it."
He felt that he was being too nosy and that he only asked this question out of concern for his sister's friend. This was completely the mentality of an elder, how could it become like this.
Cheng Yu looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
Cheng Yu was still worried. She felt that she had always been taken care of by Jian Li, who had become a good friend with great difficulty. If Jian Li's points were deducted because of her ignorant brother, how would she face Jian Li in the future?
Cheng Yu thought to herself, naughty brother, finish the class quickly and stay away from my little pear!

After Jian Feng became rich, he especially wanted to dress up his wife and daughter.
The jadeite on Wang Mengmei's neck was bought by Jian Feng.
Jian Feng also wanted to buy some expensive jewelry for his daughter.
"I see little girls love diamonds. Daddy will buy you a diamond?"
As he spoke, Jian Feng caught a glimpse of the necklace hanging around his daughter's neck. It was a gemstone necklace in the shape of a bright yellow sun.
This was given to me by my daughter’s classmate. But a little girl can’t have just one gem. She needs more than one.
Jian Li said with disgust: "I don't want diamonds."
Diamonds are not as valuable as gold.
"So what do you want?"
Jian Li thought for a moment and said, "A house."
Her editor Jiang Rou has been urging her to start a new chapter for a long time. Jian Li has been preparing for it.
Not only was Jian Feng paying off the rental loan, but Jian Li herself also had a mortgage loan.
There is pressure to repay the loan, but Jian Li still wants to buy another house.
Jian Feng looked as if he had expected this, and said to Wang Mengmei, "Look, what did I say?"
Wang Mengmei was also puzzled: "Why do you like buying houses so much...Okay, your dad came here this time to talk about this matter."
Jian Feng said to his daughter cheerfully, "While we're here, your mother and I are planning to buy a house here. This way you can live here from time to time. You don't have to live in school with four people in one dormitory. Your mother was so upset when she went back last time, saying she had no place to put your things."
In fact, Wang Mengmei did not have such a deep feeling a few years ago, but now when she occasionally thinks about the past, she always feels that her daughter has suffered a lot since she was a child.
Especially when I think about the time when Jian Li was in the first grade of junior high school, she was misdiagnosed by a quack doctor. Why was I so ignorant at that time? I should have brought my child to the capital for a checkup!
Now that we have money at home, we can discuss and take our time with the loan. After all, Jianfeng's business makes money quickly, and things are getting better at home. The most urgent thing is to improve our daughter's living conditions. In the past few months, every time we called her, she would say, "I'm going to get some hot water."
When Jian Feng asked, he found out that his daughter went to the water room to fetch water every day. She carried such a heavy thermos up to the fourth floor every day. After hanging up the phone, Jian Feng asked Wang Mengmei seriously if she could donate a water heater to the school.
In the end, I was defeated by reality. I regretted not having enough money when I needed it.
Jian Feng only regretted that he could easily bid for a fortune of several million or tens of millions, otherwise he would have donated a batch of water heaters to Peking University right away!
The water heater is nowhere to be found, so the two of them are going to buy a house.
Jian Li was hit on the head by the sudden news and was stunned for a moment.
Wang Mengmei: "Buy a house, so that either of us can come and see you when we are free. Didn't you say before that you missed Wang Facai? If you can take care of her, I will bring Facai with me. Anyway, your father and I are running around now, so we can come whenever we want, it's very convenient."
Wang Mengmei tried to make it sound easy, but actually buying a property in the capital was not the best option. After all, the most important thing for the two of them to do now was to expand production as much as possible. Once the fortune came, they had to keep up with the pace.
but……
Both of them missed their daughter too much. It wasn't obvious at first when they were at home, but Jian Li was always chattering, making the noise of three people. She would occasionally cause trouble, giving them a headache.
But when their daughter really left, the two realized that it was not that their daughter couldn't leave them.
But they can't leave their daughter.
The two of them comforted each other, saying that the child had grown up and would be back from winter vacation one day. Parents should not be selfish. Once their daughter left home, they should not confine her to the small place of their hometown.
But no matter how much I think about it, I still can't let it go.
Now that they had money, the two of them rushed over to look at houses.
I thought Jian Li would be very happy to hear this news, but Jian Li looked touched but helpless.
"What? You don't want to buy a house?"
Jian Li shook her head, then nodded, and finally said casually: "I'll take you to have a look."
Jian Li first ran out to make a phone call, then hurried back.
Wang Mengmei wondered: "Why is this girl so secretive?"
Jian Feng seemed to be thinking about something.
Fortunately, the place was not far away, so Jian Li took her parents to the house she bought. It was close to a key primary school and a middle school. Although it was not as hard to find a house as it was later, there were many white papers looking for houses on the bulletin board in the community.
Jian Li took her parents to unit one of the fourth floor and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with gentle features. She happily invited Jian Li to come in, and was a little surprised to see the person behind her.
Jian Li: "These are my parents. They happened to be nearby today, so we came together."
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I'm just surprised that your parents are so young."
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman took out an envelope from her bag and said, "Here is one year's rent. Please count it."
Jian Li took it, glanced at it casually, and then gave the other party a receipt.
"Do you mind if I show my parents the house?"
Middle-aged woman: "It's up to you. Our things won't be moved in until the afternoon."
Jian Li took her parents to look around the house. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a regular layout. It had all the basic furniture. Jian Li had not made any changes to the interior decoration since she bought it.
After a brief look at the house, Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei said nothing.
Jian Li greeted the tenant and then walked out of the room with her parents.
“This is the house I bought—one of them.”
Jian Feng looked at his daughter raising her head with a proud expression, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.
This is his daughter Jian Feng.
Wang Mengmei was unusually silent the whole time, and finally exhaled a puff of white air: "Such a big thing..."
Forget it, there’s no point in saying more.
If the idea wasn't big, she wouldn't be Jian Li.
Jian Li smiled like a little mouse stealing sesame oil: "I made all this money from drawing comics. I wanted to give you a surprise."
It was indeed a surprise that took Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei a long time to recover from.
But after the surprise, the two began to worry: "Should we still buy the house?"
The daughter bought it for investment, but it couldn't solve the current housing problem. But if they bought a house that the whole family could live in, Jian Li also gave them some information about the house prices in the capital, which was beyond their expectations.
"Why are houses so expensive?"
Jian Li thought, where are we going now?
The 21st century has just begun, and the truly valuable things are yet to come.
Especially since the Olympic Games will be held in a few years, the capital will also introduce a purchase restriction policy, and social security will not be purchased for less than five years, and various events will strengthen the national strength...
Jian Li held her parents' hands and said, "Buy it! Why not?"
In another six months, news about the Olympics will be out, and it will be even more expensive then!
