Yang Lijun and her three friends studied in the morning and processed reports submitted by the company in the afternoon. Their lives were very regular, but also very fulfilling.
"Sister-in-law, did you and Haiyin go straight to your junior year?"
"Well, that's all we can do. You two can only be sophomores now."
"Yes, there are still two years before we graduate," Qin Shuang sighed.
"It'll be soon. By the time you graduate, Ruiyang and the others will be all grown up. Mom said that Dad will hire a tutor to come to our house to teach them when they turn three."
"Sister-in-law, what do you think? Should I teach them?" Tang Feiyan's eyes lit up.
Yang Lijun shook her head. "It's unlikely. Mom has such a good education, but Dad didn't arrange for her to teach your four older brothers. He hired tutors instead. How could he let us teach them? The four of us should help Mom with the company's affairs more."
Zou Haiyin and Qin Shuang both nodded, while Tang Feiyan wilted. She knew her father-in-law would never allow a boy to be raised by a woman; it was just wishful thinking.
Li Cuihua didn't come today. Pengfei is getting married, and the bride's family is coming today. Zhang Hongmei will also be going over for lunch.
"Mom, is Third Grandma really willing to let Pengfei go to another place?" Qin Shuang asked curiously.
“This is good for Pengfei. He can accumulate more political achievements while he’s down here, and he’ll come back in the future.”
"Won't Pengfei feel resentful? Ping An will be directly under Wei Yu's command. No need to go to other places."
"There should be some degree of it. But Pengfei knows he doesn't have Ping An's strength."
I asked him about it, and he said he also wanted to go to another city.
"Mom, did Chongyu also go directly to Weiyu's subordinates?"
"Yes, this is your uncle's idea."
"When my uncle came back last time, I felt he was different?"
"Mom, I feel the same way. It seems like my godfather has become much more cheerful."
"Hehe, I really hadn't noticed," Zhang Hongmei thought to herself. This guy was naturally delighted; he and Annie had discussed the Chinese names for their two children. Rick would be named Liu Yanyu, and Catherine would be named Liu Puyue. Liu Jingze was also easily satisfied.
At noon, Zhang Hongmei went to Liu Maocai's house by herself.
The woman's family seemed alright; at least none of them were particularly awful.
When Pengfei introduced Zhang Hongmei as his aunt, her family was very surprised, thinking she was Pengfei's sister. They even thought of asking if this pretty girl didn't have a boyfriend and offering to introduce her to someone.
Er Ya and San Ya were all there, only a few children were not.
Liu Jianguo and his wife also came over. Their little girl, Liu Tingting, is now three years old. She has fair skin like her mother, but she's still too shy and doesn't like to talk. However, she's much better than last year, so it seems Jiang Yan has noticed it.
Pengfei's girlfriend, Han Zijing, knew that Han Zijing was Pengfei's stepmother, but they got along quite well. Because of this, Zhang Hongmei had a better impression of Pengfei's girlfriend.
They had lunch at a restaurant, and the whole family was arranged to stay there. The wedding date was July 28th.
With five days to go, Cheng Guangxu had already prepared a house for them, but the woman was a little dissatisfied and hoped for an apartment building. However, since it was already this late, he let it go.
That evening, Han Zijing's family was all together. "Zijing, why don't you want an apartment?" her sister-in-law asked in confusion.
“I’m going to work in another city with Liu Pengfei. He’ll be the deputy county head directly. Even if there’s an apartment building, we won’t be able to live there. Let’s wait a few years until we come back and buy one. There’s no need to argue about this now. Besides, we’ll both have jobs in the future. We can save money and have our families help us keep an eye on things. If we find a suitable one, we’ll buy it.”
"Okay, as long as you know what you're doing, living in an apartment building is great, it's clean."
Han Zijing nodded, "I know, sister-in-law. After the wedding here, we'll go back to our hometown. The homecoming ceremony will be held here."
“After you called back last time, we talked to our relatives, and they weren’t very satisfied. After all, you’ve married into a family in the capital. But since you don’t want to do it, this is the only way I can do it.”
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble."
"What's the trouble? This is your own life, you can live it however you want. But if you get bullied, we'll stand up for you."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. You've all seen his family members; they're all easygoing. Even Pengfei's stepmother is alright. Besides, we don't live together anymore. It'll just be the two of us from now on, so there won't be any conflicts."
That's what Sister-in-law Han said. She was quite satisfied after meeting all of Pengfei's family members today.
Pengfei's house was all decorated. The next day, Pengfei took his family to see it. They could still make up for anything that was missing.
The Han family looked at the courtyard house, and all their dissatisfaction vanished. The house was quite nice, and the appliances inside were things they had never seen before. Seeing that they weren't poor, it was clear they valued Pengfei highly.
Han's eldest sister-in-law leaned closer to Han Zijing and asked, "Your in-laws didn't provide you two with any financial assistance, did they?"
"No, his grandma gave him two thousand, his dad gave him two thousand, his three aunts each gave him one thousand, his uncle also gave him one thousand, and the money from his friends was also given to me. They didn't give us any money."
"Okay, that's good. With so much money in your hands, quickly have Pengfei buy an apartment. Make sure it's all bought before you leave."
“We all have houses to live in now. The houses were given to us by his second aunt. The banquet was paid for by his third aunt, and the furniture and appliances were provided by his aunt Hongmei.”
"Are you stupid? What's the use of keeping money? It's better to have your own house."
"Alright, I'll call Pengfei over and discuss it with him."
Liu Pengfei brought over a thermos to make tea for his father-in-law's family.
"Pengfei, do you think with all this money we have, we could buy an apartment in the capital?"
“Okay, Aunt Wang Ying has a lot of connections. I’ll call her in a bit. Actually, I also think buying a house is the best option. Since you like apartments, let’s buy an apartment.”
Sister-in-law Han was very satisfied with Liu Pengfei's words. She was certain her sister-in-law would be in charge of the household in the future. Besides, judging from her sister-in-law's words, her brother-in-law's aunt was quite capable; their lives would surely be better.
Liu Pengfei called Wang Ying in front of his father-in-law's family and told her about his plan to buy an apartment.
How much money do you have?
"Auntie, I want to spend 10,000 yuan to buy a house."
"Then let's buy two sets. Tomorrow, take the money to the service company, give it to the accountant, and also your and your spouse's household registration booklets. The day after tomorrow, you can pick up the property ownership certificates."
"We've chosen the third floor for you. This floor is good; even if you don't live there, you can rent it out and earn back the money to buy a house in less than ten years."
"Okay, Zijing and I will go deliver the money this afternoon."
