New Year’s Eve, in the machinery factory compound.
A whole string of firecrackers was hung on a long bamboo pole. After the crackling sound of firecrackers, the New Year's Eve dinner began.
"Come, Xiaoyun, I'll give you a toast. Welcome to our home and join our big family. I wish you academic success and everything goes well in the new year!"
Zhao Xianglan picked up the teacup and offered tea and wine to express her welcome to Yun Guyuan.
"Thank you, auntie!" Yun Guyuan stood up and replied.
Comrade Yi Jianshe got drunk last time and lost face. On New Year's Eve, with all the good food and wine, he didn't even touch his favorite wine. He awkwardly picked up some food for Yun Guyuan: "Alright, eat the food!"
After spending a few days with him, although I don't want to admit it, this guy is really good.
Yun Guyuan had not felt such a warm family atmosphere for a long time. Even though he couldn't get a word in most of the time, he felt relaxed physically and mentally just by watching Qingqing interact with her family and listening to them chatting.
While staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, Ms. Zhao Xianglan mentioned what Yi Qingqing had told her about buying a house two days ago.
"Qingqing will definitely work in the capital in the future. If the company can't give her a share, it is indeed necessary to buy a house. But don't we have a place to live now? The factory is also planning to build another one. Why do we need so many houses? No one lives in them! There are probably not many people who rent houses in Nanping County. It's probably impossible to rent them out after buying one."
Yi Zhigang didn't quite understand. He felt that it was safest to keep the money in his hands. If he used it to buy a house or something, if something went wrong, it would all be wasted.
He would rather not covet those possible gains than waste the money his family had worked so hard to save.
"Fool! Qingqing has already said that as for 'investment', houses in big cities like the capital and Hai City are better!" Su Cai patted her husband. She felt that what her mother-in-law and sister-in-law said made sense. "Zhigang, you may not have noticed that the allocated houses in our factory have long been insufficient. The plan to build an additional building has been put forward for a year or two, but the small earthen slope behind our compound is still in good condition, and no one has come to see the site. I'm afraid that the addition of the building will not be implemented for a while. As my sister said, there is a high possibility that it will be delayed and fall through. Moreover, as far as I know, the efficiency of our factory is not very good, so the application for building a house has not been approved. The number of new employees has also been decreasing in the past two years."
"Really?" Yi Zhigang had only heard about the construction of additional housing, and when he thought about what his wife said, it seemed that there really was no action at all. "Alas, my brain is only enough for practical work, so I won't give orders blindly. We have mom, sister, and wife as our three military advisors, so you just need to discuss and do it!"
"I didn't expect you to make the decision," Zhao Xianglan glanced at him. She knew her son's character very well, so she turned to talk to her daughter-in-law, "Xiao Su, although Qingqing proposed this, I am also optimistic about it, but our family has already divided the work.
You should make your own decisions about your family affairs. As for Qingqing, your father and I will take care of her for the time being. When she gets married and starts a family, she will live out her own life like you do, and then she can take care of us together in our old age.
So you don’t have to worry about anything now. If you think this method is good, give it a try. If you don’t think it’s good, forget it.
There is only one thing: success or failure is a personal choice. If you fail, you cannot affect the relationship between family members and you have to bear the responsibility yourself.
After all, Qingqing mentioned this because she sincerely thought it was a good way to make money, and it was for your own good, not for any other reason."
Yi Qingqing is well aware of the future development momentum of the real estate industry and knows that buying a house is a profitable business with no loss, but Ms. Zhao Xianglan does not know this!
It could be said that everything she said now was to help Yi Qingqing avoid future troubles and to eliminate the possibility of her good intentions leading to resentment.
Yi Qingqing felt that she had learned something new from her mother.
Section 216
"Mom, don't worry, I understand."
Su Cai was also a smart person, so she naturally heard the truth in these words. Her mother-in-law thought too much about her sister-in-law, and she envied her sister-in-law for having such a caring mother. But she was not unhappy, or felt that her mother should favor her son and leave more things to her son. Instead, she felt that she was lucky to marry into such a family and that her daughters were lucky to have such a sensible grandmother who did not favor boys over girls.
She doesn't think that parents' things should belong to the children. After getting married and starting a family, children should support the elderly instead of worrying about the elderly's things.
The elderly can give their things to whoever they want, so when her mother-in-law and father-in-law mentioned that all their income would be used to support her sister-in-law's studies and dowry, she didn't object at all.
Besides, when they just got married, her mother-in-law and father-in-law gave her and her husband enough support. She was getting married for the second time, and her wedding was even more grand than her first. She lacked nothing, and they also helped a lot when she gave birth to her child. That was enough for her.
Su Cai had survived such adversity and understood one thing: one must be able to stand on one's own feet in everything.
If the wall you built collapses, the worst that can happen is that you can just build it again and it will still be able to shelter you from the wind and rain. But if the mountain you are relying on runs away, that would be truly despair, because you don’t know where to find another mountain.
Only what you earn yourself is the most solid. If you have an opportunity right in front of you, you'd be a fool not to fight for it. Su Cai held Yi Qingqing's hand and said, "Sister, your idea sounds feasible to me. Please tell me the tricks of buying a house in detail and I'll think about it. Don't worry, if you really make money in the future, I'll give you a big red envelope. If you lose money, I'll give you a smaller one. In short, your brother and I are very grateful that you thought of us for this opportunity. Just like I told you, investment is risky. We are the ones who want to make money, and we should bear the risk!"
"Haha, then I'll just wait for the red envelope from my sister-in-law!"
Yi Qingqing was very happy. Her sister-in-law was a sensible person and she was happy to help such a person, so she started to tell her about it right away.
Although she had never been to the Housing Authority Bureau in person, Comrade Li Mengxue was a frequent visitor to the Housing Authority Bureau. Not to mention the Housing Authority in the imperial capital, she had also visited the Housing Authority in Hai City.
Yi Qingqing also knew that she had set her sights on the house and land in Pudong! However, that area was still a suburb within a suburb, with no houses available, and even less land for sale.
In fact, if you buy a house in a good location in Haishi and the capital, you will make a profit. If you buy a house in the suburbs, you will also make a profit. The suburbs today will become the city center in the future.
