Chapter 222 Zhang Xuyuan's Big Move
Chu Yueqin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her elder brother and sister-in-law leave happily.
Deep down in her heart, she didn't think that helping her eldest brother's family was such a happy thing, but she felt very relieved that she could make her father not worry.
"Brother Cheng, I'll prepare a few dishes for lunch so your brother and you can have a couple of drinks." Chu Yueqin invited with a smile.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was about to answer, he heard a car horn.
The people living in this family compound have seen cars in Yanjing, but it is rare to see cars in their own yard.
So Cheng Xuyuan and Niu Wanjia and his wife looked towards the yard almost at the same time.
Downstairs, a black car was parked in the yard. When Cheng Xuyuan came out, Fang Yuqing got out of the car.
"Yuqing, wait a moment."
As he spoke, he said to Chu Yueqin: "Sister-in-law, my friend wants me to go out for a while. How about this, let's have dinner together tonight."
Although Chu Yueqin was considered successful in her career, she didn't have many opportunities to ride in a jeep, let alone a sedan like the one in front of her.
She knew very well that those who could ride in such a car were not ordinary people.
What's more, the girl who came out was really beautiful, and it seemed that she had a special relationship with Cheng Xuyuan.
"Xiao Cheng, you go and get busy first, I'll make some more delicious food tonight."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Okay, you don't need to prepare the wine, I still have two bottles of good wine!"
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan simply packed up his things and went downstairs carrying his bag.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan getting into the car, Niu Wanjia couldn't help but say, "I thought the gap between me and Xiao Cheng was big enough."
"But I didn't expect that the gap would be even bigger than I thought."
Chu Yueqin said calmly: "Then you should work harder, otherwise, you may not even have the chance to drink with Xiao Cheng in the future!"
Hearing this, Niu Wanjia remained silent.
Although he felt that Cheng Xu was far from being a forgetful person, many times, as people's identities and status changed, some relationships that were originally very familiar would become subtle.
I really need to work hard!
"By the way, we're out of meat coupons at home. Go borrow some from Old Sun's house. I'll make some dumplings for you and stir-fry some meat dishes tonight."
Chu Yueqin did not notice her husband's expression, but made arrangements in a deep voice.
After hearing the arrangement, Niu Wanjia agreed and walked towards his colleague's home not far away.
Cheng Xuyuan got into the car and found that there was not only Fang Yuqing in the car, but also Fang Yuning was sitting in the passenger seat.
However, at this moment, what he felt most deeply was not the two people in the car, but the air conditioning in the car.
The cool air conditioning makes my skin feel like it's bursting with cold.
At this moment, Cheng Xuyuan felt as if he had returned to his previous life.
Air conditioning, cola, and instant noodles are the three must-haves for a homebody in summer! "Air conditioning is still more comfortable!" Cheng Xuyuan said sincerely.
Qin Wenhui smiled and said, "The air conditioning is comfortable, but it's a pity that I can't sleep in the car."
"Xuyuan, is this where you live? It's too... too noisy."
When Fang Yuning heard Qin Wenhui's words, she couldn't help but glare at him.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the noisy children around the car, then glanced at the tube-shaped building, and suddenly felt that this house was noisy.
When I write something myself, I basically don’t have to think about it, I can just take it out of my head.
But the living experience here is really not good. Not to mention a shower, there isn't even a toilet.
Cheng Xuyuan suddenly thought of the Overseas Chinese Apartment in Huayuan Village.
According to the information in my memory, it seems that free buying and selling can be done there.
If I could buy one, not only would my living conditions be greatly improved, but I would also be closer to Yenching University.
It's OK to ride back and forth in the summer, but if it's winter, then...
"It's just too noisy. Sometimes when I'm writing something and just when I have an idea, I hear the crying of a child." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: "Alas, I end up hearing a beating of the child, and then I forget everything!"
Qin Wenhui couldn't help laughing, but no one could help with things like the house.
The couple's housing was allocated to a newly built two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment thanks to his work in the foreign trade company. I don't know how many people are envious of them.
So he had no way to comfort Cheng Xuyuan about this matter.
Just when he was about to say something in response, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly said, "Brother, I heard that someone is selling a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment in Huayuan Village. Can you help me find out about this?"
"You...you are planning to buy a house yourself?" Qin Wenhui asked in surprise.
In Qin Wenhui's memory, houses were allocated by work units.
Although Cheng Xuyuan's living quarters were much worse, overall, the company had allocated him a house.
Buying a house, who would buy a house if they have money? Wouldn’t it be better to share the house?
What’s more, the houses in Overseas Chinese Apartments are notoriously expensive!
If someone who came back from outside bought it, it would be normal, after all, they have money, but Cheng Xuyuan...
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's serious expression, Qin Wenhui felt that Cheng Xuyuan didn't seem to be joking.
Before he opened his mouth, Fang Yuning said, "Xiao Cheng, I've heard of it, but that house is expensive, and most people can't afford it."
"I heard that someone bought one a few years ago and spent more than 10,000 yuan!"
Cheng Xuyuan was mentally prepared for this.
He smiled and said, "Sister, as long as it's within 15,000, I think I can still accept it."
Fifteen thousand!
Fang Yuning couldn't believe his ears.
Her family conditions are relatively good compared to her peers.
In the past few years, with the support of their parents and the savings of the couple, the total amount is only two thousand yuan.
This is something that many people cannot catch up with even if they try their best.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Cheng actually wanted to spend 15,000 yuan to buy a house.
This…this…
"Cheng Xuyuan, you are not kidding, right?"
When saying this, Fang Yuning looked at Cheng Xuyuan with half belief and half doubt.
Fang Yuqing, who was sitting next to her, was also a little surprised at this time.
She has never worried about life. Whether it is the living expenses given by her parents or the living allowance of less than 20 yuan per month, her life as a college student is very easy.
Since tickets were needed for buying things, her mother Meng Fanjin was in charge of it, so she didn't have to worry at all.
But now, the huge number of fifteen thousand still made her head buzz.
In the end, it was Qin Wenhui who spoke.
He took a breath and said, "Xiao Cheng, isn't fifteen thousand too expensive to buy a house?"
"Given your current situation, I think you should be able to get a decent house after you graduate."
"What about the money? You might as well..."
He couldn't think of what to buy with such a large sum of money.
After all, you need a ticket if you want to buy something.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Brother, I think I can get a better house after I graduate."
"But this wait is too long."
"My current living conditions have somewhat hindered my writing. Besides, I might as well buy a house if I have money now instead of keeping it in the bank!"
"Stay here first!"
Qin Wenhui said nothing more. Although he felt that what Cheng Xuyuan said made some sense, this move was really too big!
It's a bit unbearable! "Xiao Cheng, how much money do you have now?" As Fang Yuqing's sister, Fang Yuning didn't have too many scruples when speaking and spoke directly.
Cheng Xuyuan also said happily: "Sister, my current savings should be more than 4,000."
"But I believe that the royalties from "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will increase."
"Fifteen thousand yuan, that's basically enough in half a year."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said: "If it doesn't work, I'll write more."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked relaxed, Fang Yuning really wanted to ask, do you think writing is as easy as pouring beans?
But looking at the calm Cheng Xuyuan, she felt that for Cheng Xuyuan, this might really be that simple...
"Yuqing, do you think Xiao Cheng should buy a house?" Fang Yuning asked his sister.
Fang Yuqing's fair face flushed with excitement, and she smiled and said, "If he didn't have that much money, he naturally wouldn't buy it."
"Now he has enough money, and the shabby building of the Literary Association has affected his writing. I think it would be better for him to buy a house."
"And it's close to the school, so he doesn't have to run back and forth."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's words, Fang Yuning shook his head.
Her sister was really obedient to Cheng Xuyuan and always considered things from his perspective. She didn't think about the fact that she had been taken advantage of by Cheng Xuyuan so early on. It would be difficult for her to turn things around in the future...
Just when Fang Yuning was lost in thought, she heard Qin Wenhui say, "Xiao Cheng, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
"But buying a house still depends on luck."
"With luck, I'll meet the right one soon."
"If you're unlucky, you might not see one for two or three months."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. I'm busy at school, so please keep an eye on it for me."
"If I really don't see him for half a year, it means I can save money."
While they were chatting and laughing, the car had already stopped in front of the bank.
Since all preparations had been made, the remittance vouchers were quickly withdrawn.
There were a total of 180 remittance vouchers worth 1,800 yuan, which could be said to be a thick stack.
Qin Wenhui had already set his eyes on a color TV. He wanted to buy a 17-inch Sharp color TV, and he was also interested in the price. At the Friendship Store, it would cost more than 1,500 yuan.
Of course, it was the overseas remittance vouchers! After Qin Wenhui took out the overseas remittance vouchers for buying the TV, he asked Fang Yuning to take out two thousand yuan from his bag.
Obviously, Qin Wenhui was very familiar with the situation of exchanging overseas remittance vouchers.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the two thousand yuan Qin Wenhui handed over, counted out five hundred from it and handed it to Qin Wenhui, saying, "Brother, if you are exchanging this for someone else, I won't say anything, just exchange it normally."
"But if you and Sister Yuning buy things and give me more money, it will be a bit awkward."
"That's it!"
Fang Yuning wanted to say more, but Fang Yuqing had already pulled her arm and started talking in a babble.
Therefore, under Cheng Xuyuan's insistence, in the end, Cheng Xuyuan only asked for 1,500 yuan instead of the 1,500 yuan in overseas remittance vouchers.
After saving this money and adding it to his previous royalties, Cheng Xuyuan's savings officially exceeded 4,000 yuan.
The following things went extremely smoothly.
Fang Yuning and his wife bought the color TV they had been dreaming of, while Cheng Xuyuan spent about 80 yuan to buy a fan at the Friendship Store.
On the way home with the color TV, Qin Wenhui whispered to Fang Yuning: "Yuning, after hearing about Cheng Xuyuan's generosity, I suddenly feel that this color TV is not so attractive anymore!"
Fang Yuning didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.
Today is the second update, please support me by the end of the month! (End of this chapter)
