It's that kind of thing, well, how should I put it?
Festive clothes.
Bright red. If retro style started in later years, that would be considered trendy. But in this era, everyone imitates Western fashion. Jiang Yunxiang's outfit makes her look like she comes from the countryside.
Seeing Ye Cheng's strange look, Jiang Yunxiang felt a little embarrassed. "Um, I only wear this outfit during holidays. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Ye Cheng really wanted to say there was a problem and that any clothes would be fine, but seeing his sister-in-law's expectant gaze, he could only force a smile. "Sister-in-law, it's fine, DouDou's. We should be heading out soon."
Jiang Yunxiang is going out, and Dou Dou will definitely follow.
"Oh dear, I forgot to wake DouDou up. He hasn't had breakfast yet."
After saying that, she turned around and went inside to call her son.
Ye Cheng was speechless. Women really do change when it comes to dressing up.
"Sister-in-law, don't eat breakfast every time. Let's eat in the city later," Ye Cheng called out through the curtain.
"Ah, well... alright then, your sister-in-law will pay for your breakfast." Jiang Yunxiang woke Dou Dou up and put on an outfit she had picked out last night, the kind she only wore during holidays.
Dou Dou was still a little groggy from waking up when Ye Cheng carried her to Li Yong's place.
Along the way, several older women, seeing Jiang Yunxiang like this, all asked her questions out of curiosity.
"Sister-in-law Ye, you're dressed so beautifully, are you planning to go to the city?"
Whenever someone asked, Jiang Yunxiang would deliberately slow down and explain with a smile.
"Oh dear, my son Cheng is going to the city to buy a house, and I'm just going along to take a look."
"Buying a house in the city, that's impressive."
"Yes, he's doing well now. He even said he wants to buy a house for DouDou to use for school."
"Oh, then DouDou can go to school in the city from now on. Getting into university will be a piece of cake for her."
"Hahaha, I hope so."
Hearing her neighbor's compliments, Jiang Yunxiang smiled happily.
Ye Cheng could only follow along with a forced smile. It would probably take less than half an hour for the whole village to find out.
After finally getting to Li Yong's place, Jiang Yunxiang suddenly saw Xiao Hu there and asked curiously, "Is he also going to buy a house?"
“Sister-in-law, let him go with us and broaden his horizons.”
Xiaohu is my brother, and he'll definitely prosper if he follows me. I should take him out to broaden his horizons more often.
Jiang Yunxiang sat in the passenger seat, while Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu sandwiched Dou Dou between them in the back seat, and the car set off.
Once in the city, Ye Cheng asked Li Yong to find a place to stop for a while, and let Jiang Yunxiang and Dou Dou eat their breakfast. He also had some for himself.
The main reason is that there are many different kinds of breakfasts in the city, including things like xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
The pine needle soup dumplings not only have the aroma of meat, but also the unique fragrance of pine needles. DouDou ate a whole basket by herself and was extremely satisfied.
"How is it? Are the xiaolongbao delicious?" Ye Cheng took a tissue and wiped the oil off Dou Dou's mouth.
"Delicious, Uncle, it tastes much better than the steamed buns Mom makes."
This kid speaks in a very straightforward way, clearly not yet having experienced the harsh realities of life. Ye Cheng quickly corrected him.
"Mom makes breakfasts with love, they're different. This one isn't healthy, Mom's is healthy, you understand?"
"But it doesn't taste good," DouDou said with her big eyes.
Ye Cheng closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, Baozi, your second uncle can't save you. With your level of understanding, you'll suffer a lot in the future."
No pain, no gain; no need to masturbate when you grow up.
Ye Cheng plans to buy a school district property for Donghai No. 1 Primary School this time.
Donghai No. 1 Primary School is located on Wenming Road, next to several commercial buildings. Of course, they are not the kind of commercial buildings that we would call "commercial buildings" in later generations, but rather apartment buildings, which are what we would call old and dilapidated neighborhoods in later generations.
After dropping the four people off, Li Yong drove away; he still had goods to haul.
After getting off the car, Jiang Yunxiang looked at the gate of Donghai No. 1 Primary School, then stared at Ye Cheng in disbelief.
"Ah Cheng, Dou Dou will really be able to study here in the future."
"Ah, as long as we've bought a house, let's go and see if there are any real estate agents nearby."
Ye Cheng randomly went into a convenience store, bought a pack of cigarettes, and immediately found out that there was a real estate agency a little further ahead.
The real estate brokerage industry grew alongside the housing market. Later, the major brokerage firms basically monopolized all the listings for secondhand homes, and people generally turn to brokerage firms when buying or renting a house.
Because of the rule that intermediaries charge commissions based on transaction prices, the intermediary industry has also given rise to many top salespeople with annual salaries of over 10,000 yuan.
The four of them walked along the road. Along the way, people kept glancing at Jiang Yunxiang and secretly laughing, making Jiang Yunxiang extremely embarrassed.
"Ah Cheng, is it because my clothes don't look good?"
Ye Cheng thought to himself, it's not that it looks bad, it's just that it's too conspicuous. He and Xiao Hu just casually wore slippers when they came out. Although it looked a bit sleazy, it was still considered normal.
Jiang Yunxiang's statement is really a bit exaggerated.
"Well, sister-in-law, it's because your clothes are so pretty. They've never seen them before and wanted to take a second look." Ye Cheng lied to save Jiang Yunxiang from embarrassment.
"Ah, have none of the city folks ever seen clothes like ours before?"
"That's right, yours are all handmade, while theirs are made in textile factories, they're far inferior."
After chatting for a few minutes, we arrived at the real estate agency. Its name was straightforward: Wenming Real Estate Center. It was a small shop with various advertisements pasted on the door, and several agents were sitting inside making phone calls.
As soon as the four of them walked in, the real estate agents looked them up and down, but none of them came over to greet them.
Real estate agents have seen countless people. Judging from Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu's appearance, plus Jiang Yunxiang's attire, they can tell that they come from the countryside and have little purchasing power. Coming here would be a complete waste of time for them.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ye Cheng went directly to a woman who was idle; she was actually only in her early thirties. He approached her and struck up a conversation.
"Hello, we'd like to see the house."
The older woman gave Ye Cheng a snobbish look and said lazily, "Well, there's a sign at the door, go see for yourselves."
"This attitude? Damn," Ye Cheng smirked. "You think you can get away with this? You're still being indulged, aren't you?"
"What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you treat a real estate agent?"
The older sister rolled her eyes, about to speak, when she saw a well-dressed middle-aged couple walk in. Her expression instantly changed, she shoved Ye Cheng aside and rushed over, greeting them warmly.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, you're here! Planning to buy something today?"
The man smiled and said, "I brought my wife to take a look and learn more."
"Oh my, sister-in-law is here! Come, sit down, let me tell you something."
Ye Cheng frowned. "Damn, they know you guys are snobs, it's too obvious."
He grabbed the woman and said, "We were here first, shouldn't you greet us first?"
