Don’t say that buying a pair of leather shoes is snobbish or flattering. Adult love is so simple and direct. Where there is money, there is love.
It's better for Xiang Liwei to spend time and money to buy things for him than for Xiang Yaoyao to try to get registered in his family without spending a penny, right?
After the two entered the house, Xiang Hongqi quickly poured water for his nephew and asked about his recent situation.
Xiang Liwei drank some water while curiously looking at the furnishings at home. "Second uncle, my aunt isn't home? I still have the knee pads and insoles my mother made for her."
No one in the family is home. Xiang Lili and Yin Gan went to keep in touch with their relationship. Zhang Jidi said yesterday that he wanted to visit his elder sister Zhang Aihua.
Xiang Hongqi touched his nose and said, "Uh, she went to visit her eldest sister. Liwei, you put the things there. I will help you send them to your aunt when the time comes."
Neither the uncle nor the nephew was the type to chat, so after they talked about some ordinary things, the atmosphere became cold.
Xiang Hongqi suddenly thought of what Xiang Lidang had said a few days ago: "Liwei, come over to my house next weekend. My third son has bought a house. Let's get together and have a nice meal."
That’s right, Xiang Lidang and his future brother-in-law Yin Gan have been looking at houses a lot recently. They were very secretive and thought that no one knew about it.
Finally, they weighed the pros and cons and bought a bungalow with a yard.
The house is rather small, with only four rooms in total, but the family renovated it just a year ago, so the house is in good condition in all aspects and you can move in right away.
The owners of the house are an elderly couple. Their children have all achieved better development in W City and have been unwilling to move.
As a result, at the beginning of this year, the old lady accidentally fell while washing clothes in the creek at the door, and another old man suffered a lumbar muscle strain and was difficult to take care of.
They feel distressed when they see their children running back and forth to take care of the elderly.
I might as well sell the house here and move to W City to live with my children in my old age.
The price they offered was also relatively low. The price of four rooms was almost the same as that of three rooms in an apartment building, which was only 1,300 yuan. It was a very good place for a young couple to live with their children.
The most important thing is that this house is behind the coal plant, close to the river, with nice scenery, very quiet at night, and convenient facilities nearby. It is very convenient to live in after buying it.
There are always some procedures to go through when buying a house, and it takes time to process, so I kept putting it off until now to tell you all.
When Xiang Liwei heard that someone had bought a house, even if he had no emotional intelligence, he knew to smile and congratulate him: "That's great, Third Cousin is so amazing, he was able to buy a house on his own!"
Coincidentally, Xiang Lidang is the third child in his family, and also the third child among the male members of the Xiang family.
The eldest uncle Xiang Ligong from Xiang Hongwen's family is the eldest, the second uncle Xiang Liguo from Xiang Hongqi's family is the second, Xiang Lidang is the third, and Xiang Lihua is the fourth.
Except for a slight change in Xiang Liguo's ranking, the ranking of Xiang Hongqi's children is the same as that of other children in the family.
Then there is Xiang Liwei, the fifth child. His eldest uncle Xiang Hongwen's youngest son Xiang Lishi is the sixth child. His third uncle's adopted younger brother Xiang Lizheng is the seventh child. (He died young and is not included in the ranking.)
Among so many people, Xiang Lidang was the first to buy a house with his own ability.
Seeing his nephew's happy face for his family's great event, Xiang Hongqi said with relief: "Don't forget to come and warm the stove. You don't need to bring these gifts since you just started working."
He planned to discuss it with Zhang Jidi in the evening and was already having a headache about the wording.
However, Xiang Hongqi still told Xiang Liwei not to buy a gift. He knew that his nephew had just started working and certainly didn't have much savings. He could buy him one when he had the chance in the future.
Xiang Liwei silently kept this matter in mind. He had already planned to send a message home in the afternoon to get some money as a gift.
Regardless of whether Second Uncle was being polite or not, Xiang Liwei knew in his heart that who would have the nerve to go to someone else's house for a banquet on such a happy occasion without giving gifts?
I don’t know if others can do it, but Xiang Liwei doesn’t have the nerve to do it.
When facing Xiang Hongqi, Xiang Liwei promised repeatedly: "I definitely won't bring any gifts, just some household items to warm the hearth for my third cousin and add some joy to his family."
Having said that, he has already thought about the general items to give as gifts. It's basically the same for a new house, so he can choose from those gifts.
Xiang Liwei was very envious of Xiang Lidang for being able to buy a house on his own, which was rare among young people.
It's great to have children supported by their parents. Xiang Liwei doesn't even know where his wife is. He also wants to have his own home with a wife and children.
He tried to refuse Hongqi twice, but seeing that his nephew was so determined, he looked reproachful but felt relieved in his heart.
He actually has a wealthy family and is not short of gifts. It's just that this give-and-take attitude makes people feel good. Who would want to only give without receiving?
The two of them talked about what had happened during this period, and Xiang Liwei wisely said goodbye.
Xiang Hongqi stuffed a pen and two notebooks into the man's hand and said, "Here, I won this in a competition held at Erbo's factory last month. You'll definitely need this as a teacher."
Originally, he was planning to give them to several children in his family who were about to go to school, but when Xiang Liwei gave him the leather shoes, he had no choice but to reciprocate.
The main reason is that I am short of money, otherwise I would just give the money to my nephew and let him use it however he wants.
Xiang Hongqi understood very well the difficulties faced when he first arrived in the county. Thinking of the pain he had experienced back then, he really couldn't bear to see his sincere nephew go through it all over again.
