When it comes to houses, it has always been one of the most important topics for ordinary people.
"Weiwei, we'll listen to you. You're our family's lucky star, and what you say is always right."
Liu Guilan was definitely Ye Weiwei's most loyal supporter. She immediately raised both hands in agreement without even thinking. Although her family had only just settled down in Kyoto and had only a little savings, her eldest and second eldest sons both had jobs and earned quite a bit. She and her husband could also occasionally take on some handicrafts to supplement their income. She wouldn't dare say much, but it was enough to cover their household expenses.
This whole family has always been frugal and hardworking, having survived years of famine. They know exactly how to manage their finances carefully. Just a few days ago, she checked her savings and found that she and her husband each had nearly a thousand yuan, while her eldest and second sons could each scrape together four or five hundred yuan.
Weiwei said she wanted to buy property. They couldn't afford big ones, but they could still grit their teeth and buy some small houses or shops in less desirable locations.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye also agreed with their youngest daughter's suggestion.
After they returned from the Northwest, they received a large sum of back wages and allowances. The family earned more money than they spent, and most of the money was saved.
Houses are cheap now, so they can still afford to buy a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). They can buy it and keep it as a gift for their grandchildren or great-grandchildren.
Ye Sange is familiar with all parts of Kyoto because he usually travels around the streets and alleys. When he heard Ye Weiwei mention hoarding houses, he immediately thought of a friend who said a few days ago that his uncle's family had a house to sell. The house was a two-and-a-half-story villa with two courtyards in the front and back. It was quite large and was built with the best materials. It was not only beautiful but also very sturdy. It has been well preserved for many years.
He had even visited that family's home before, and he thought the house was incredibly beautiful and sophisticated, with European-style architecture and furniture, many of which were imported goods worth a fortune.
I just heard from a friend that his uncle is going to sell the house, and he was quite saddened by it.
Now that he's heard what his younger sister said, he might want to think about it.
My younger sister likes beautiful big houses, and that house should fit her aesthetic.
When Ye Sange pulled Ye Weiwei outside to talk, he told her about the house.
Ye Weiwei was indeed very interested.
"After watching the movie tomorrow, I'll find some time to go and check it out there."
Privately built villas like these are rare in Kyoto, so if you come across one, you should definitely buy it.
Putting everything else aside, the land occupied by the two large gardens in front of and behind that villa is worth a fortune.
Ye Huaiyu became interested when Ye Weiwei said she was taking the children to the movies the next day.
"Then I'll go with you and help look after the children."
Ye Weiwei was naturally more than happy to accept it.
Later, for some reason, Mr. Ye, Ms. Ye, and Liu Guilan all wanted to go to the movies together, and even Grandpa Qin said he would join everyone for the activity the next day.
So what was supposed to be their small family gathering turned into a group trip for the whole family.
Grandpa Qin simply had someone book tickets for everyone in advance.
Before going to bed that night, Yan Jin came to Ye Weiwei with his savings book and gave it to her. The savings book contained five thousand yuan.
"Mom, I'm going to buy you a house."
Ye Weiwei found it amusing, "Mom has money, you can keep this money for yourself."
Strict yet extremely stubborn, "Give them all to Mom, I don't want them!"
If it weren't for the fact that the savings book for receiving the pension required going to the neighborhood office every month to collect it, he would have liked to give that savings book to his mother as well.
Looking into the little guy's clear, sincere eyes, Ye Weiwei rubbed his head and said, "Alright, then Mom will accept it. Thank you, son."
Five thousand yuan seems like a lot now, but it will be worth much less in five years. It would be better to use it to buy a property with high appreciation potential or something else for the little one.
Anyway, it's more cost-effective than depositing money in a bank.
The only problem was that Qin Xiao had arranged a five-year fixed deposit for him, but it wasn't a big deal for Ye Weiwei. She could just take five thousand yuan from her to pay for it, and then withdraw the money back to her when the deposit matured.
Yan Jin was overjoyed that Ye Weiwei was willing to accept his savings book. He hugged Ye Weiwei and ran away, his little face flushed.
Qin Xiao saw this scene as soon as he entered the bedroom after taking a shower. He pretended to be angry and said, "You little brat, you're not allowed to hug my wife again next time!"
Yan Jin had become quite familiar with Qin Xiao over this period and knew that his godfather wasn't as serious and intimidating as outsiders described. He turned to Qin Xiao, stuck out his tongue, and made a face, saying, "Godfather is just a stingy guy!"
Qin Xiao pointed at Yan Jin angrily, "You brat, you're discriminating against me! Why do you call my wife 'Mom' but me 'Godfather'?"
Yan Jin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed even more mischievously, "You still won't admit you're a petty person, you even get jealous over a way of addressing someone! Hehehe!"
"You brat! You're always getting out of control and climbing on the roof! I'll teach you a lesson!"
As Qin Xiao spoke, he darted in front of Yan Jin, picked him up with both hands, and tossed him into the air.
Yan Jin was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he hurriedly cried out to Ye Weiwei for help: "Mom! Help me! Please help me... ah..."
The moment he fell, he thought he was going to die. He was so scared that his body stiffened like a piece of wood, his eyes were tightly closed, and his voice became distorted.
However, the pain he had imagined did not come. He was caught firmly by a pair of strong hands, and before he could react, his body was thrown upwards again.
He couldn't help but shout again.
But now, I'm not as scared as I was the first time.
Then, the third time, the fourth time...
Yan Jin was no longer afraid at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of being tossed up and down. He even swung his limbs around in mid-air with a sense of novelty, and his cries changed from fear and terror to excitement and stimulation.
The noise in the room attracted the triplets. Seeing their eldest brother being tossed high in the air by his father, they were all excited and eager to try it themselves, stretching out their little arms and shouting that they wanted to join in.
Qin Xiao then put aside his strictness and lined them up one by one, tossing the triplets over and over.
After playing for a while, the four children became more and more energetic and kept asking to play more.
Qin Xiao was helpless and looked at Ye Weiwei: "Wife, you have to do something about them."
Ye Weiwei rolled her eyes. "You finally get to come home to spend time with the kids, what's wrong with playing with them a little longer?"
It's best to spend all your energy on spending time with your child, so you can avoid bothering her a few times at night.
Qin Xiao had nowhere to turn for help, so he had to make a deal with the children: after the last round, they should all go to sleep obediently, otherwise they wouldn't play like this again.
