However, the teaching quality of No. 3 Primary School is currently the best, and of course, the housing is also more expensive.
She bought a house in an old residential area, a former factory-owned housing complex, which happened to be within the catchment area of the Third Primary School.
It's less than 50 square meters, but it cost more than 200,000 yuan.
This price is said to be too high; if it weren't for the school district, it would have been less than 3,000.
More than 200,000 yuan gave Ye Cheng a better idea of the situation.
Based on my earning speed, this money should be available in about two months.
After finishing his meal, Ye Cheng started riding towards the Third Primary School of Donghai City. He saw a large gate in the distance by the roadside with the words "Third People's Primary School of Donghai City" written on it.
The school gate is quite impressive and relatively new, having been built in recent years.
Having learned the school's location, Ye Cheng began searching around it. There weren't many real estate agencies around, and it took Ye Cheng a long time to find one.
The situation I learned is similar to that of the lady selling boxed lunches. The houses here range from 4,000 to 6,000 yuan per square meter. Smaller apartments sell better, while larger apartments are less popular.
Ye Cheng went around and found that the situation was basically the same, so he didn't ask any more questions. No matter how much money it cost, he still needed to have his own money.
I rode slowly back to the village, and as soon as I turned the corner, I saw a group of people gathered in front of my house, pointing and talking.
Oh no, is something bad going to happen?
Ye Cheng honked the horn twice, trying to get people to move aside.
"Oh, the second brother is back."
"The second child is really enjoying life now, they even have air conditioning installed."
"Young people are just greedy for enjoyment. We've never used air conditioning in our lives, and we're fine."
After listening for a while, Ye Cheng realized that they were there to install air conditioners, and he finally felt relieved.
Although the villagers said that Ye Cheng was wasting money, their eyes were full of envy.
Widow Zhang also joined the crowd, cracking sunflower seeds as she asked,
"Second brother, you said you need to cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep with the air conditioner on, right?"
"Yeah, usually we need to use an air-conditioning blanket," Ye Cheng replied.
"You even have special air-conditioning blankets?" Widow Zhang chuckled twice and said half-jokingly, "My Xiao Liang is very sensitive to heat, so next time he can come here and use your air conditioning."
Ye Cheng didn't respond to that question, not because it was impossible, but simply...
Why should I?!
Chen Jinhai stood at the back of the crowd, smoking with his head down, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. Ye Cheng was making too much money, and he was starting to lose control of him.
Moreover, they are very high-profile in their actions. They installed air conditioning in such a dilapidated courtyard. It's drafty everywhere, and they still spend money on it. They really have money to burn.
Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Yunxiang quickly came out and spoke to Ye Cheng.
"Acheng, the air conditioner installer is coming this afternoon. Since you're not home, I'll just bring him over."
"Okay, sister-in-law, has it been installed in your house yet?" Ye Cheng asked casually.
This sentence instantly made the onlookers lose their composure. They stared wide-eyed, stopped smoking, and looked at Jiang Yunxiang and Ye Cheng as if they were two complete strangers.
"Second brother, you bought two?"
"You bought it for your older brother too?"
Ye Cheng nodded. "Yes, what's wrong with me buying an air conditioner for my brother?"
Jiang Yunxiang stood in the courtyard, her face beaming as she showed off to the villagers, "Oh dear, I told you long ago that we didn't need to buy it, but Acheng insisted on buying it, and I couldn't stop him."
Everyone rolled their eyes. What a Versailles!
"Your second son is really capable."
"Two air conditioners will cost a lot of money."
"Is Ye Lao Er making that much money now?"
"She's good at making money and still thinks about her older brother. Yunxiang, your Ye family is about to rise to prominence. You're so lucky."
"Now we can finally enjoy life."
"I don't know if they did anything illegal or disorderly. How can they make so much money just from beachcombing? I don't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it? Look at Wang Xiaohu's family, they're living the high life now, all because they hang out with Ye Lao Er."
"Sigh, I always thought this guy was holding back, and he just wouldn't let everyone get rich together."
"Exactly, I've never seen such a selfish person."
A group of villagers were making sarcastic remarks, but Ye Chengcai ignored them.
Ye Cheng's dilapidated house was a single-story building, so there was no issue of working at heights. The two workers quickly finished the installation, and the villagers dispersed.
There were people who were envious, jealous, admiring, and even resentful—all sorts of thoughts were expressed.
With the air conditioner on, Ye Cheng didn't let it sit idle. He took a hot shower and then, in an extremely extravagant manner, smoked a cigarette in the air-conditioned room, filling the room with smoke.
Damn it, that's the kind of extravagant feeling I want.
That evening, Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu 1,500 yuan and then went to his older brother's house for dinner.
DouDou was very curious about the new thing in the house. Holding the remote control, he kept asking his mother, "Mom, when can the air conditioner be turned on? Can I turn it on?"
"Why are you turning it on? It's not hot. We'll turn it on when it gets warmer. Put the remote down right now, or you'll break it." Jiang Yunxiang was getting anxious watching her son running around with the remote.
Looking at the air conditioner installed in the room, Ye Guowei was filled with emotion. Just a month ago, his family was dirt poor, and now, suddenly, ah, they have air conditioning.
Even someone as old-fashioned as Ye Guowei couldn't resist having a few extra drinks that night, and he was quite happy.
Ye Cheng didn't mention the school district housing at first, afraid that they would be scared if they heard about two or three hundred thousand. He would talk about it when he had enough money.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and Ye Guowei won't be going to work. He promised to come and help Ye Cheng fix the gate and the pond.
After finishing his meal, Ye Cheng went home to watch TV.
Nowadays, there are basically no variety shows on TV, only dramas. There are shows like "Xiaozhuang", "Wind and Cloud" and "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre", but there's a bit of an indescribable feeling about them.
The era is a bit out of touch. From Ye Cheng's perspective in his later years, these TV dramas nowadays are simply unwatchable.
Especially with the costumes, props, and sets, the long flowing hair, the blurry picture quality, the slightly exaggerated acting, and the cheap special effects of flying and leaping, it all feels unreal.
Speaking of which, TVB dramas are still the best. They never seem outdated, no matter when you watch them. It's just that you can't watch them in the village.
Ye Cheng watched Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun fight for a while out of boredom, and then fell asleep. The special effects were not as good as those in Journey to the West.
......
First thing to do upon waking up: Check the system.
Luck value: 50+20
Points: 670
Deposits: 17,000
My luck stat is so-so, but I finally have enough points to exchange for a fishing rod for Xiaohu, so the two of us can go fishing together.
Oh right, I think I haven't taken in the fish traps I set out yesterday. I'll leave it for now and take them in when I get back tonight.
Ye Cheng redeemed a new fishing rod and exchanged all his remaining points for exclusive bait.
Everything is ready; we need to get some good stuff today.
