Chapter 244 Auntie, please help me look for a house
To be honest, the fish at Chunfeng Restaurant tastes pretty good.
But it has not reached this level to make people unforgettable.
But the fish here are not too expensive. A carp weighing more than two kilograms only costs two yuan and fifty cents.
As for the rest, at Cheng Xuyuan's insistence, the two ordered another dish of fried cabbage with oil residue and two bowls of rice.
In addition to four taels of fine grain coupons, he spent another two yuan and eighty cents.
But even so, Fang Yuqing still ate with great enthusiasm.
During the meal, the two people talked most about what they had done in the past few days.
Fang Yuqing's life is relatively simple. Her main activity is to accompany her mother Meng Fanjin to visit several relatives and get together with former classmates and friends.
Also, I just went for a walk on the beach with my sister and brother-in-law.
In fact, compared with Fang Yuqing, Cheng Xuyuan is more monotonous. Apart from drinking, he just gets together with Ma Guangzhong and others to communicate.
However, Fang Yuqing was very interested in the situation of Ma Guangzhong and others, especially when Cheng Xuyuan couldn't sleep after chatting with Ma Guangzhong and others, so he wrote "Our College Entrance Examination" in one breath.
She is proud of her boyfriend's achievements.
But she also advised softly: "Xuyuan, I know that writing often requires inspiration."
"But I don't approve of you staying up all night writing!"
"You also said that when writing something, you should make a plan and write slowly, and you shouldn't rush for success."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's advice, Cheng Xuyuan also secretly reflected on himself.
That time he did go a bit too far, writing more than 10,000 words in one breath. As someone who had come from the future, he knew very well what it meant that the body was the capital of revolution.
Without a good body, everything is zero.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time." Cheng Xuyuan nodded repeatedly and agreed with a smile: "Thank you Comrade Fang Yuqing for reminding me! This won't happen again!"
The two people were chatting and laughing while the fish was eaten cleanly.
"Shall I take you home?" Cheng Xuyuan suggested after taking a look at the scorching weather.
In the past, no matter what Cheng Xuyuan said, Fang Yuqing would listen to him, but this time, Fang Yuqing protested: "There's nothing to do at home. You've slept on the train all night anyway. Why don't we go to the movies?"
Watch a movie? Of course you can.
Although the movies nowadays are all films that Cheng Xuyuan is familiar with, he still needs to cooperate with the little romance of watching a movie.
Of course Cheng Xuyuan would be reluctant to watch it with a few vegetarian guys.
But if you go to see it with Fang Yuqing, you will enjoy it!
So the two of them walked towards the cinema.
Cinema, shopping, Friendship Store...
Sweet times are always short and time passes by unknowingly.
Just as the two men came to a noodle restaurant to eat noodles, the living room of the Fang family was covered with dark clouds.
Meng Fanjin could understand that her younger daughter did not eat at home in the morning.
After all, my little daughter has grown up, and it is normal for her to go out and play with her friends.
However, Fang Yuqing didn't go home all day and didn't come back at night, which made Meng Fanjin and Fang Gengsheng, who went home for dinner, a little dissatisfied!
"Wenhui, Yuqing went out with you today. What did she do? Why hasn't she come home yet?" When Qin Wenhui came to Fang's house to pick up Fang Yuning, he was met with Fang Yuning's questioning.
If Fang Yuning was alone, Qin Wenhui could still turn a blind eye.
But with the looks from his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he didn't dare to deal with it carelessly!
After all, his father-in-law and mother-in-law are not so easy to fool. If he is not careful, they might scold him too!
"Mom, Cheng Xuyuan came back today, and Yuqing went to pick him up. I happened to have something to do with Cheng Xuyuan, so I took Yuqing with me."
Qin Wenhui answered very cleverly.
When Fang Gengsheng heard that Cheng Xuyuan had returned, his expression changed.
This Cheng Xuyuan deceived his daughter into a daze as soon as he came back.
The key point is that this guy has not divorced until now, which is really hateful.
But this guy came back at the right time. I have some things to do and I really want to hear his advice.
Although his suggestions may not be correct, listening to them may give you a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Just as Fang Gengsheng was daydreaming, he heard his daughter Fang Yuning ask, "What do you want to talk to Cheng Xuyuan about?"
"Isn't this the royalties from Cheng Xuyuan? I'm sending it to him." Qin Wenhui was startled when he saw his wife staring at him, and he quickly explained honestly.
Cheng Xuyuan’s royalties have arrived!
Fang Yuning thought of the new TV that her family had recently bought, and her resentment towards Cheng Xuyuan was reduced a little. She asked curiously, "Is Cheng Xuyuan's salary this month still the same as last month?"
Hearing what his wife said, Qin Wenhui said helplessly: "He is a little higher this month than last month."
"This month his manuscript fee is 60 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words. Converted into overseas remittance coupons, the total is more than 2,400 yuan."
"Also, the Tonight News called specifically, hoping that his work could be completed on time with guaranteed quality and quantity."
Qin Wenhui hesitated for a moment and said, "Our manager Wang said that Cheng Xu is very famous in Hong Kong."
"In Hong Kong, there are people who don't like his works, but there are more readers who like them."
"There is even a publishing house that is planning to publish his book Stories about the Ming Dynasty!"
Fang Gengsheng snorted and said, "What's the point of this kid making so much money?"
Hearing this, Fang Yuning curled his lips.
She couldn't treat money like dirt like her father did. On the contrary, she felt that if money was dirt, she would rather let Qin Wenhui become a dung beetle and bury himself in a dung pile than to mind his stink!
How many things can you buy with more than 2,000 yuan in remittance vouchers? Cheng Xuyuan is simply a cash cow. He can make a lot of money just by shaking it.
"He earns more than 2,000 remittance vouchers a month, and I don't know how he spends it! Isn't he worried?" Fang Yuning sighed with envy and sourness.
Qin Wenhui poured himself a glass of water and said with a smile: "Doesn't Cheng Xuyuan want to buy a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment?"
“I contacted him with a company that wanted to sell.”
"They want 14,000 yuan."
"Cheng Xuyuan's current money is still not enough!"
Fang Yuning went to see the houses in the Overseas Chinese Apartment and liked them very much. It was a pity that although he had the taste and vision to appreciate them, his financial foundation was not enough. After all, this thing was too expensive.
When Cheng Xuyuan returned to his hometown, he said that he wanted to buy a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. I thought at the time that he had such determination, which was great.
But now, he actually put this plan into action!
And it’s already come to the stage of looking at houses!
This is too... too what!
"We still need 6,000 yuan to buy the house!" It was Meng Fanjin who spoke. She said with some concern, "Wenhui, tell Cheng Xuyuan not to rush to buy a house."
"It's not like he has no place to live now."
Qin Wenhui felt a sense of care from his mother-in-law.
He immediately understood that although his mother-in-law was not very satisfied with Cheng Xuyuan as a son-in-law, under the current circumstances, it seemed that his mother-in-law had no other choice.
So, she had unconsciously begun to care about Cheng Xuyuan.
This kind of concern is not obvious, but it is expressed inadvertently.
"Mom, six thousand yuan is not a big deal for Cheng Xuyuan."
"It's just two months' royalties."
Qin Wenhui said: "Cheng Xuyuan is going to go look at a house tomorrow. If he likes it, he will need to bargain. It may take one or two months to complete the formalities."
Meng Fanjin nodded, but then she thought about looking at houses again.
Cheng Xuyuan and Qin Wenhui went to see a house. Do they know how to bargain with the owner? Will Cheng Xuyuan suffer a loss in such a big matter as buying a house? And...
Just when Meng Fanjin was secretly worried about Cheng Xuyuan, she saw the door opened and her youngest daughter Fang Yuqing walked in with a happy face.
Seeing Fang Yuqing, Fang Gengsheng's face darkened.
He was a little annoyed that his daughter didn't come home for a day, so he was ready to criticize and spank his little daughter, whom he usually held in his mouth for fear that the baby would melt.
It also gives her some consideration.
But don't do anything out of line, or there will be no end to it! However, before he could say anything, he saw Cheng Xuyuan walking in from behind Fang Yuqing.
Although he had been sitting in the car all night and shopping with Fang Yuqing for a day, Cheng Xuyuan was still full of energy.
He was holding two boxes of snacks in his hands.
"Hello, Uncle Fang, Aunt Meng." As soon as Cheng Xuyuan entered the door, he greeted Fang Gengsheng and Meng Fanjin with a smile.
Fang Gengsheng knew that this was not the time to scold his daughter, so he pretended not to hear Cheng Xuyuan's words, snorted lightly, and said nothing.
Meng Fanjin smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng is back. How about going back to your hometown?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Nothing has changed at home, everything is fine."
"Humph!" Fang Gengsheng said, "You've been in college, and you never come home for a long time. This time when you go back, why don't you stay at home and spend time with your parents? Why are you running around?"
Fang Gengsheng's words were quite distressing.
At this moment, Cheng Xuyuan felt that a surge of resentment was coming straight at him like a brick!
Fang Gengsheng's words came together into one sentence: "Why did you come back? Why didn't you stay at home and be quiet? Why did you come back to Beijing so impatiently and come to harm my daughter?"
But what the other person said makes a lot of sense. No one can find fault with spending more time with your parents.
While his mind was spinning, Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice: "Uncle Fang, I was kicked out by my parents."
"They hope that I will cherish the opportunity and learn more in college."
"My parents stubbornly believed that even when school was on holiday, I could stay in the school library and absorb more knowledge."
"Besides, there are professors in the school, and I can always ask them questions if I have any."
"I have no choice but to come back!"
Fang Gengsheng was speechless when he heard this answer.
He originally wanted to use this excuse to give Cheng Xuyuan a lesson and dampen this kid's enthusiasm, but he didn't expect that this brat would use his own spear to break his shield.
Although it was just a small confrontation, it left him speechless.
Meng Fanjin listened to Cheng Xuyuan's response with a smile in her eyes. How could she not hear that her old man had suffered a loss in the confrontation just now?
And it’s a dumb loss!
He immediately changed the subject and said, "Xiao Cheng, I heard from Wenhui that you are going to look at houses tomorrow?"
"Yes, Aunt Meng, this time, thanks to my brother Wenhui's hard work and help, I was able to find a suitable house so quickly."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Aunt Meng, I don't know much about houses. If I go to see them alone, I'm afraid I'll be ripped off!"
"If you can spare some time tomorrow, why not help me take a look? That way, I'll have a better idea of what's going on!"
