Beijing trip
Jian Jiabei's school start date was still two weeks away, but the two adults decided to send him there early. This gave the family time to prepare, and the four of them hadn't traveled in a long time. Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping felt sorry for their son's hard work this year and their daughter who was about to enter the hell of her senior year of high school. They thought it would be a good idea to prepare for their son's college life while also preparing for a family trip.
This matter was decided in this way.
A few weeks after the graduation banquet, in early August, Jian Jianan, his parents, and brother embarked on a journey to Beijing.
"Xiaoqing! Didn't you often fly back to visit your grandparents during your holidays? Why are you still so nervous?"
Jian Jianan said to Shan Jiqing who was sitting next to her.
Shan Jiqing's voice was muffled. "I don't know. Maybe it's innate."
Jian Jianan replied cheerfully: "Okay, in that case, just close your eyes and take a rest, then you might feel better."
"good."
"Give you an eyepatch!"
Jian Jianan was fully equipped and took out the blindfold and took it.
Looking at Shan Jiqing who was resting with his eyes closed in his seat, Jian Jianan fell into deep thought.
This trip to Beijing should be considered a family trip, so why did they bring Shan Jiqing along?
This story begins a week ago.
At that time, Jian Jiabei's college entrance examination results came out, and the adults felt that preparations for going to university in Beijing should be made in advance.
After all, this is their first child to be admitted to college, and they are not familiar with many things.
During a conversation with Xu Jing once, Su Qinxuan mentioned this matter, and Xu Jing's eyes lit up.
"Oh, Lao Dan and I are still worried! Don't Xiaoqing's grandparents miss their child? They've been asking him to come over since summer vacation started, but Lao Dan and I are busy these days and can't go back with him. Lao Dan and I are also worried about letting him fly alone!"
Su Qinxuan knew what she meant by being worried. Wasn't it the fact that Shan Jiqing was almost abducted by human traffickers when he was a child?
Although Shan Jiqing is now an adult, in every parent's heart, he is still a child! Of course they are worried.
Su Qinxuan, knowing Xu Jing's intention, immediately chimed in, "That's easy. We'll send Xiaobei to school, and you can just let Xiaoqing come with us! It's on the way anyway, so we can give him a ride, and it'll be safer."
Xu Jing was waiting for Su Qinxuan to say this, and she immediately smiled. "Okay, okay, okay, I'll leave it to you. Hey, Xiaoqing has traveled with your family before, and with you guys taking care of him, what else can I worry about?"
The two mothers looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
So, the matter was decided.
Jian Jianan watched Shan Jiqing put on his eye mask and get a good rest. Only when he saw his breathing gradually stabilize and his complexion improved did he feel relieved and went about his own business.
There are several routes from Shenzhen to Beijing now, but air travel is the most convenient and shortest one.
Airline tickets are not available for purchase nowadays, but require a certificate of introduction.
Having a certificate of introduction is not enough, there is still the hurdle of ticket price.
Because of the expensive air tickets, even the most basic ones cost 70 or 80 yuan, which is almost enough for a family's basic income for a month.
In this day and age, flying is a luxury, and ticket prices are almost fixed. There are no discounts or promotions on event days. Even on the busiest routes, it is normal for a plane to not be fully occupied.
For example, on the plane that Jian Jianan is sitting on now, she roughly counted when she just got on and found that there are only about 20 people, of which her family plus Shan Jiqing are five people in total, which accounts for about a quarter of the seats.
Jian Jiabei, who had witnessed the incident, leaned over to whisper in his sister's ear, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you so considerate? Shan Jiqing is already a teenager. He can take care of himself. Does he really need you to take care of him?"
Jian Jianan said righteously: "He is airsick! Besides, Xiaoqing is all alone and his parents are not around. It's okay for me to take care of him!" She was simply upholding her friendship with her classmates!
Jian Jiabei looked between the two people suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
"Hey, hey, it's time to eat!" Jian Jianan pointed to the place not far away and cheered to his brother, interrupting Jian Jiabei's thoughts.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Eating is more important.
Teresa Teng's melodious singing voice rang out in the cabin of the plane, and the flight attendant came over pushing a cart.
The sky restaurant has a rich variety of dishes. Jian Jianan ordered sausage and bread, and after thinking about it, he added a serving of ice cream.
The brother ordered a glass of wine in addition to his sister's set meal.
Seeing his sister's curious look and eagerness to try it, Jian Jiabei immediately smiled and said, "Want to drink it?"
Jian Jianan looked at his parents who were busy eating and didn't pay any attention to him. When he found that no one was paying attention to him, he nodded immediately, staring at the wine in his brother's glass with longing eyes like a puppy.
"Yeah! I want to drink it!" The brother asked this question. Did he want her to try it?
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up and he immediately became happy. You know, when they were at home, Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping forbade the two children to drink alcohol. They were both minors, so why would they drink alcohol?
Only during the Chinese New Year would Mom and Dad dip their chopsticks in some wine and give it to the two of them.
But when Jian Jiabei turned 18, especially after he passed the college entrance examination and was going to a place thousands of miles away from home, this ban was quietly lifted for him.
They are all adults, so it’s okay for him to drink a little. I believe my son knows his limits. Besides, he will go to such a faraway place to study in the future, and I won’t be able to control him even if I want to!
But for Jian Jianan, this ban is still valid, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the adults are strictly guarding against it.
"Do you really want to drink?"
“I really want to drink it!”
Jian Jianan continued to send puppy eyes to his brother, hoping to move Jian Jiabei's hard heart.
"Come."
Jian Jiabei moved the wine glass closer to his sister. Jian Jianan was about to take the remaining wine from his brother's glass and pour it into his own cup. Unexpectedly, the next second, Jian Jiabei took the glass back and said coldly, "No."
He was quite disgusted. "Why are you drinking alcohol at such a young age? You're already 18, so you can drink it. Go drink your soda!"
Jian Jianan was furious: "Brother!"
"Don't be so loud!" Jian Jiabei was extremely serious, with the authority of an elder brother.
"It would be terrible if Mom and Dad heard us. We would both get scolded!"
Jian Jianan was furious. "Are you kidding me?" You said it as if you weren't the one who tried so hard to get a few sips of wine with me before!
In front of his sister, Jian Jiabei slowly took another sip of the wine. The wine was mellow and had a strong grape flavor. Well, you know what, being an adult is good. Not only can you drink, but you can also hold the wine glass in front of your sister to make her happy.
But are you sure she is happy?
After lunch was distributed, another crew member came over pushing a cart. This time it was filled with various cigarettes and cigars, as well as Moutai!
The lunch just now and the cigarettes and alcohol now are all free. As long as you buy the plane ticket, you can get them without paying extra money. Therefore, Jian Jianan poked his brother who has always been frugal and signaled him to look quickly.
Jian Jianan poked his brother and pointed him in the direction of the car, but he didn't expect him to show resistance. "Why smoke? Smoking is very harmful to the lungs. Just drink a few sips of wine. Don't smoke. You can't smoke even when you grow up, understand?"
Her brother rarely spoke to her so seriously, so Jian Jianan could only nod obediently, which was considered as her agreement.
"That's right, don't you need to ask Xiaoqing to wake him up to eat?" After eating and drinking his fill, Jian Jiabei was suddenly in a good mood and somehow brought up Shan Jiqing.
"No need." Jian Jianan said as if it was a matter of course, "No need to call him, I've already left some for him. He's sleeping soundly now, and waking him up now will make him even more uncomfortable. He can eat whenever he wakes up."
The flight of several hours passed in a flash. After Jian Jianan slept for a while, the plane had landed at Beijing Airport. Jian Jianan and his brother got off the plane, and his parents went to arrange the luggage and other things.
Shan Jiqing, who had just woken up, was still confused and his mind was not even very clear. Jian Jianan held his hand and walked forward in a daze. Jian Jianan walked to the front and looked back at his friend who looked like he was at the mercy of others, and couldn't help laughing.
"Xiaoqing, you look so confused now. Are you going to follow me wherever I take you? Be careful or I'll sell you out and make you help me count the money!"
Shan Jiqing took the packed lunch that Jian Jianan handed to him and said slowly, "Okay, okay, there's no need to count the money, I'll help you count it!"
His mind was still not clear, so Jian Jianan stopped teasing him and said goodbye to him honestly.
Soon it was time for Jian Jianan's family to say goodbye to Shan Jiqing. Shan Jiqing's grandparents had already arranged a car to pick him up at the airport. Jian Jianan's family of four had to stay in other parts of Beijing for a week to do things.
When Dan Jiqing got on the bus to go to school, he was still reluctant to leave, looking back every few steps. Finally, Jian Jianan couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him towards the car, saying softly: "You go, we have to see each other at school in two weeks anyway."
This is true. Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing, who are about to enter their third year of high school at the start of the school, will not have a full two-month summer vacation because of the school's policy of paying attention to and making arrangements for college entrance examination candidates. School will start in the second week of August, and they will have to enter their third year of high school early.
"Okay." Since Jian Jianan said so, Shan Jiqing could only say goodbye to her and leave.
"Goodbye, Nannan. Have fun in Beijing! If you have any questions, feel free to come to me!"
What Shan Jiqing wanted to say more was that he could take Jian Jianan to have a good time in Beijing. After all, Beijing was already his second home to him.
However, Shan Jiqing knew clearly in his heart that Jian Jianan came to Beijing to stay with her family because he had important things to do, so he could only swallow these words regretfully and just keep them in mind to see if he could find an opportunity in the future.
Seeing his sister finally leaving after saying goodbye to everyone, Jian Jiabei commented, "Why are these two kids so clingy? I can't stand it."
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping laughed. If the person who said goodbye to Jian Jianan in such a close manner was someone else, the two parents might be a little nervous, but this was Shan Jiqing, who they had watched grow up, and they knew his family character very well, so they would not make a fuss.
Jian Jiabei's sense of crisis immediately surged. He turned to his parents seriously and instructed, "Dad, Mom, I won't be home after school starts. You have to keep an eye on Nannan. I'm worried she'll be deceived by these brats. Don't you think they're a bit close? This brat has someone he can trust, so why is he targeting my sister and taking advantage of her?"
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping laughed again. The two adults looked at each other and left Jian Jiabei muttering there without saying a word.
They had heard it so many times that they were used to it. This was how sons and daughters were. Although bickering and quarreling were inevitable, the care and concern that only siblings could have was also common.
Jian Jianan watched Shan Jiqing get in the car before skipping back to his family and happily asking Su Qinxuan, "Mom, mom, where are we going now? Are we going to my brother's school now?"
"Not yet. Although I've received the acceptance letter, Xiaobei's school won't start the admission registration process until the end of August. There's no need to go so early, or they won't be open even if you go."
"Let's go to the hotel and put our luggage there first, then we can go have some fun in Beijing!"
"Yeah! I love traveling!"
Jian Jianan cheered. Although Jian Jiabei was also very happy, he felt that he was not like the Jian Jianan who had never seen the world, so he clenched his fists and put them in his trouser pockets, remaining calm. However, his excited face betrayed his true mood.
Speaking of which, they go on short trips many times a year, but the last real long-distance trip seemed to be the trip to Hong Kong, and he was looking forward to it very much!
The family first went to the Great Wall Hotel to check in. This kind of thing was already a piece of cake for them. After completing the check-in procedures, they went into the room smoothly.
In the next few days, the family of four really put their plan of coming to Beijing for fun into practice. They climbed the Great Wall, visited the Drum Tower, and visited several tourist attractions around Beijing.
Anyway, even Jian Jiabei, who was most anxiously looking forward to his future school, forgot for a moment what he was doing there.
Seeing that the journey was halfway through, the two adults finally remembered the ultimate purpose of this trip. Su Qinxuan slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, we came here for an important matter. We have to check out the location today, otherwise we may be too busy in the next few days and have no time to come over!"
Jian Jiabei asked casually, "Is there something serious going on? Are you in such a hurry?"
Su Qinxuan kept it a secret: "You'll know when you get there."
Seeing his mother's expression, Jian Jiabei, who had been indifferent to the matter, also became interested. Then, sitting in the car, he felt that the direction the car was heading was a little wrong. Was it heading towards...
"Mom, why do I feel like this car is heading towards my school?"
Su Qinxuan didn't embarrass her son on this question. She nodded quickly, confirming his answer, "Yes, that's right. The place we are going to now is indeed the People's Public Security University of China."
Huh? Why go there? If Jian Jiabei remembered correctly, didn't they go for a walk around the school after resting well on their first day in Beijing?
After all, that is the school his son will go to in the future. Jian Jianan was still shouting beside him, "Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle." He had to go and take a look right away.
Jian Jiabei still remembers how he felt that day. The campus was not open to the public. He stood opposite the school and listened to his parents chatting with the security guard at the gate.
"My son will start school in September, so I brought him here early. His mother and I also came to check out the surroundings. Otherwise, we would always be worried if he went to school alone."
"Oh, that young man over there must be your son, right? He's truly a talented man. No wonder he was able to get into our Public Security University. Parents, don't worry. Our Public Security University is a great place. You don't have to worry about job prospects or the campus environment!"
Jian Jiabei listened to his parents' humble yet proud tone, and looked at the buildings on campus, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
This is the result of my hard work for more than half a year!
Now, Jian Jianan, who was listening in the car, was also confused, but she didn't say anything else and just followed her mother.
The car drove to the People's Public Security University of China, but did not take the main road in. Instead, it turned left at an intersection.
"We're here, let's get off the car." Su Qinxuan said to his son and daughter.
As soon as Jian Jianan got out of the car, he looked around. Did they come to a residential building this time?
All you see are residential buildings, elderly men and women coming and going, and young men and girls pushing their bicycles passing by them, looking at them curiously. The atmosphere is very full of life.
The Jian family was extremely surprised and looked at their parents for help. However, they didn't expect that their parents were looking around for someone and didn't notice their daughter's gaze at all.
Jian Jianan had no choice but to secretly ask his brother: "Brother, do you know why my parents came here? Did they tell you any gossip in advance?"
Jian Jiabei was also confused. "No, they didn't tell me anything. I'm also surprised that they came here suddenly!"
Jian Jianan held his chin up in his hand, as if thinking about something. "Is that so? That's strange. You said that before mom and dad do something, they either tell you or me. Anyway, they have to inform one of us. What are they planning to do here today? Why are they so secretive?"
Just as the brother and sister were muttering to each other, the person Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping were looking for came over. It was a young girl who trotted over to Su Qinxuan's side and quickly apologized, "Sorry, Boss Su, there was a traffic jam over there, so I'm a little late."
The little girl came running, and she didn't even have time to catch her breath when she got close. After saying the first sentence of greeting, she kept panting softly.
Su Qinxuan was very good-tempered and comforted the little girl: "It's okay, it's okay. We just got here too, and you're not late."
The little girl took a breath, and after she calmed down, she smiled. "Okay, okay, my name is Liu Shan, you can just call me Shanshan. Let me show you the houses around here."
What Brother Li, who introduced her, said was true. Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping were indeed a pair of kind people with good tempers. They didn't get angry when they saw that she was late. Brother Li introduced her to a good job. When she goes back, she must treat him to a good meal to thank Brother Li.
Jian Jianan is such a perceptive person. He knew why they came here from what Liu Shan said.
Her eyes sparkled, and she deliberately slowed down her pace and walked with her brother behind the three adults. She poked her brother and said, "Brother, Mom and Dad are going to buy you a house. Are you happy?"
Jian Jiabei was stunned and subconsciously denied it, "Buy me a house? Why do you want to buy me a house? What's the point of buying me a house?"
Jian Jianan was very disappointed. "Of course it's convenient for you to go to school. Otherwise, why would we buy a house here at the Public Security University? Of course, we thought it would be inconvenient for you to live alone in school. So we bought you a house nearby. That way, if you need to go out of school for something and miss the curfew and can't go back to the dormitory, you can come to the house to study."
When Jian Jiabei heard this, he was immediately shocked. "Why waste this money! A few years ago, a house would cost less than 100,000 yuan. Now, buying a house in the capital, the price must be close to 100,000 or 200,000 yuan! Besides, if you are worried that I will miss the curfew, then this is completely unnecessary. I have always been a good student who abides by the rules. Besides, even if that situation really happens, I can open a temporary guesthouse outside. It's only a few dollars. Buying a house just because of this is too uneconomical!"
Jian Jiabei's reaction was very strong. "And how do you know if it's buying a house, it can't be renting? Renting saves so much money compared to buying a house. I believe that my parents are smart people and should know which one is more cost-effective!"
Any common-sense person can figure out which one is cheaper and which one is more expensive, let alone businessmen like my parents.
Jian Jianan raised his finger and shook it, looking at his brother with an expression that said, "This child is incorrigible." "Do you believe it's buying a house? If it's renting, you can just tell your subordinates to handle it. Only if you buy a house would you specifically ask an agent to come and take a look."
Seeing that her brother didn't believe her at all, she simply made a bet with him, "Let's make a bet and see whether to buy or rent a house in the end. If I say so, you have to agree to one of my requests!"
Jian Jiabei laughed and said, "If you agree, then agree. What do you want first?"
Jian Jiabei believed that the request made by his little sister would not be excessive and would be within her ability.
"Okay, that's what you said." Jian Jianan's eyes rolled, as if he had been prepared for this, and he immediately said, "How about this, if I win, when the third year of high school starts, you go and suggest to Mom and Dad that if I can balance my studies and business, then you can let me continue to participate in the operation of our family business and ask Mom and Dad to be less strict."
Jian Jiabei smiled helplessly when he heard this. He had just thought that his sister would not make excessive demands, but now he wanted to take back what he had said before.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You really, you really made a very difficult request to my brother."
When Jian Jianan enters the third year of high school, her parents will definitely pay more attention to her academic performance. What she said now is to let herself be his agent. If Jian Jianan's academic performance declines at all, she will become the target of her parents' anger.
Jian Jianan looked innocent, "Brother, will you agree to my request? Didn't you just say you would agree to my little request? A gentleman's word is as good as gold. You're already a college student, you're not still lying to me, your high school sister, are you?"
Jian Jiabei was helpless, as he realized that his sister had set many traps for him in places he didn't know about, just waiting for him to step into them.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, isn't that enough?"
"That's more like it!" Jian Jianan became happy.
The agent, Liu Shan, walked in front, introducing the environment here to Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping. "Boss Su, Boss Jian, I found several places based on the requirements you sent me, and this community is the one that best meets your requirements."
"This Mingfu residential complex is right next to the People's Public Security University, only a five-minute walk away. Not only is the environment harmonious and the distance short, but most importantly, many of the residents here are former graduates of the Public Security University, including their families and faculty members. In short, they're all connected to the People's Public Security University next door, so the community's reliability is rising. You don't have to worry about its safety; it can protect your children's personal safety to the greatest extent..."
Su Qinxuan was very satisfied when she heard this. The distance and the environment were all meaningless. What she cared about most was safety.
Jian Yangping thought for a moment and turned back to wave to his son, "Come on, Xiaobei, come and take a look. Are you satisfied with the place you're going to live in from now on?"
Jian Jiabei asked, "I quite like this environment, but Mom and Dad, you haven't told me why you called me here. Are we going to rent a house?"
Before the two adults could answer, the agent smiled and said, "Of course it's buying a house. Is renting a house really that complicated?"
He actually said something similar to Jian Jianan. Jian Jiabei and his sister's eyes met. In this bet, Jian Jianan won.
Jian Jianan made a gesture to his brother, meaning, I won, you remember to agree to my request, don’t forget it!
What could Jian Jiabei do? He could only helplessly make an OK gesture to his sister. After all, honesty and trustworthiness were very important. As an older brother, he had to set a good example of honesty and trustworthiness for his sister.
Jian Jiabei was outside and did not refute what his parents said. He went to look at his future residence obediently.
Mingfu Community is just as the agent said. The community has a convenient environment and is only a five-minute walk from his future university. Moreover, most of the residents there are related to the People's Public Security University. Which thief would be so stupid as to steal from their homes? At least there is no need to worry about safety.
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping were very satisfied with the house they saw under the guidance of the agent, and they decided to sign the contract for the house later.
While having dinner at the Friendship Hotel that evening, Su Qinxuan turned to her son and asked, "Xiaobei, you looked at so many apartments this afternoon. Which ones do you like best?"
Before Jian Jiabei could answer, his sister answered for him, "Room three, room three! I think room three is the best. It has a good layout, three bedrooms and two living rooms, facing north and south. It will be big enough for me and Mom and Dad to stay here later. And it's closest to the community entrance, so you can go to school whenever you want and don't have to worry about being late."
"Well, what about Xiaobei?" Su Qinxuan nodded and asked her son. After all, she was buying a house for her son, so she had to ask the person concerned for his opinion.
Jian Jiabei's face was filled with disapproval. "Dad, Mom, I know the house is a gift from you, but I don't think it's necessary. Also, I've learned in advance that our university will be implementing a semi-closed management system. We have to stay inside the school every day for classes and training. We can only leave the campus if we have a teacher's approval or something important."
Su Qinxuan was puzzled, "But you won't come out to play on the weekend?"
“I can also stay at…”
Before Jian Jiabei could finish his words, his sister interrupted him, "Mom and Dad, you're both missing the point. My brother isn't against buying a house because he doesn't live in it or use it every day. He's just worried about the money and thinks buying a house isn't worth it!"
Su Qinxuan: “…”
Jian Yangping: "..."
So that's how it is. They hadn't thought of this answer.
“Hahahaha! Hahaha!”
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping both held up their heads and laughed. No wonder, it seemed that he hadn't smiled since he took his son to see the house in the afternoon. Now after listening to his daughter's words, he realized that Xiaobei was just worried about the money.
After laughing, Jian Yangping jokingly said, "It's true that no one knows a brother better than a sister. If Nan Nan hadn't said that, I wouldn't have known that this was the reason why you were so resistant, Xiaobei."
When their daughter said this, the two adults understood everything. They knew that Jian Jiabei was a person who cared about money. He had been thrifty since he was a child.
Even if both parents became successful entrepreneurs, would there be any changes?
Other business partners always complained to the two of them, "Why is that bad boy of ours so extravagant with his money? Doesn't he know how hard it is for his father to make money out there? Can't he be more considerate of his father? He really thinks money comes from the wind. That's all my hard-earned money, and if he lets him use it like this, it's like it's blown away by the northwest wind!"
The two of them had never had such worries. On the contrary, they even hoped that Jian Jiabei would be less frugal and spend money more lavishly on himself.
Jian Jiabei saw that his parents burst out laughing as soon as his sister said that. He couldn't help but blush and hurriedly defended himself, "I'm not saying that you can't spend money, I just want to spend it wisely. Money should be spent on worthwhile things. Mom and Dad, don't you think so? Isn't this the truth? Our family needs money for many things right now. Mom, didn't you say that the Nanbei Group plans to move out of Guangdong Province this year and test the waters outside the province? How can we do this without money?"
"And Dad, don't think you've kept it a secret. I accidentally saw a loan document on the coffee table in the living room. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have known that your Shen Ya Garment Industry is on the verge of taking out a loan. How much money must you be in need?" He said this to his father almost heartbrokenly.
Jian Yangping was speechless. How could his son make him sound like a spendthrift who spent money like water?
It’s no wonder that Jian Jiabei thinks this way. It’s true that people in this era have only a few stereotypes about loans. Why was it so difficult to implement the country’s interest-free loan policy before?
It's nothing more than those few reasons. Everyone thinks that you can do as much as you can with the money you have. If you don't have money now, it means you are not capable enough. Only when you earn enough money will it mean that you are capable enough, and you can use your money to do other things.
Otherwise, although you can get a huge amount of money by taking out a loan, the repayment of the loan is such an astronomical figure. If you lose money, not only will you lose the principal, but you will also have to repay such a large number of loans. Wouldn’t that mean you will have to pay off everything and it will take you more than ten or twenty years to pay it back!
Even though it may seem like getting money from a loan is great, you still have to pay it back. It’s not like you don’t have to pay it back!
Jian Yangping replied to his son with a frown on his face, "And Xiaobei, don't worry. Dad didn't take out a loan because he was short of money. On the contrary, it's something that can make money!"
Jian Jianan also chimed in, "Yeah, brother, don't worry too much. Didn't Dad say that you only take out a loan if you can make money? Otherwise, who would take out a loan?"
Su Qinxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Oh my god, Xiaobei, what are you thinking about all day long?"
She carefully explained to her son, "Mom is planning to expand out of the province this year, but we have enough funds. We're not so poor that we can't even afford a house, so don't worry about it."
Jian Jiabei was skeptical and asked several times to confirm, "Really?"
Only after receiving a definite answer did he have an 80% chance of believing it.
Jian Jiabei scratched his head embarrassedly. "Oh, it's all my fault for letting my imagination run wild. But you can't blame me, Dad. Who told you not to keep that loan document in order? I saw it. And Mom, I overheard you talking to Sister Xiaotao a while ago, saying something about not having enough money to open a store. I was worried about you, wasn't I?"
Su Qinxuan was really at a loss for words. How should she explain this to her son? What she said to Yang Tao at that time were all jokes. The people below had been talking about opening a few more new stores, but she felt that it was too hasty and that it had to be done step by step, so she refused.
Unexpectedly, Yang Tao also likes to join in the fun, and kept joking in his ear, "Boss Su is rich and powerful, so why not open a new store? Open one, open one!"
That's why Su Qinxuan replied to Yang Tao with a sentence like, "What do you mean by opening a store? How can we open a new store when we have no money?"
Somehow, Jian Jiabei heard the jokes between the two of them, and he became worried that their family business was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Now that he had been explained, Jian Jiabei suddenly realized that it was all his misunderstanding!
Jian Jianan smiled and teased his brother, "Don't worry, brother. Mom and Dad's business is doing well. Maybe in a few months, when Jinhuiju and Shenya open in Beijing, our family won't have to go back to Shenzhen for the New Year. We can just stay in Beijing!"
Jian Jiabei chuckled sheepishly, "Okay, okay, if that's the case then I won't refuse."
After knowing that his family situation was not so bad that they could not afford to eat, Jian Jiabei was not so resistant. In addition, this house was a gift from his parents to him, so it was difficult for him to refuse.
"I like the third apartment too. Nan Nan is right. The third apartment has a wide view and I can see the scenery across the street..."
Jian Jiabei went to talk to his parents about his opinions. After considering several conditions, Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan decided to buy the third house they saw in the afternoon as a coming-of-age gift and the first gift for Jian Jiabei after he was admitted to university.
When he went to sign the contract the next day, Jian Jiabei solemnly signed his name on the contract. The property certificate would have to wait for a while, and by that time his parents and sister would have returned to Shenzhen, so Jian Jiabei had to go and get it by himself.
When paying, Su Qinxuan said to Jian Jianan, "Since your brother passed the exam this year, Mom and Dad will buy him a house here first. When you pass the exam next year, Mom and Dad will carefully choose one for you!"
Jian Jianan laughed and said, "Okay! But I want to choose carefully myself!"
Jian Jiabei was now walking around in his house, looking around from time to time, "Put a sofa here, it should be made of that kind of fabric, so that it is soft, and you like it too, right?"
While asking his sister, he was already thinking about the future home decoration in his mind.
Jian Jianan teased him, "Are you already looking forward to it? If I remember correctly, wasn't there someone who was full of resistance and yelled at me not to buy a house? Oh, my memory is a bit bad, I accidentally forgot who this person was. How about you help me recall it, brother?"
Jian Jiabei coughed lightly a few times and decided to learn from his sister's thick skin. "Ahem. Yes, who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Who is speaking nonsense in front of my sister? Stand out and let me see!"
"Hahahaha, brother, you are such a jerk!" Jian Jianan rarely saw his brother acting like a naughty child, so he quickly pushed him away with his hand.
The rest of the journey ended with the brother and sister playing and fighting, and soon it was time to go back, but this time, Jian Jiabei was missing from the group going back.
The time for early reporting is approaching, and Jian Jiabei decides to stay in Beijing to prepare early for his upcoming college life.
The family was bidding farewell to each other at the airport.
"Live a good life, and don't forget to study even when you get to college. Xiaobei, you must remember your dreams!"
"Yes, yes, your parents have always remembered what you said to them on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony. Don't forget it either!"
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping kept instructing their son in the airport, but Jian Jiabei showed no impatience and nodded repeatedly.
Even though he has an expressionless face now, Jian Jiabei is very reluctant in his heart. This is the first time in his teenage life that he has to be separated from his parents for such a long time.
No matter how far apart we are, we will eventually say goodbye.
The time for the plane to take off was getting closer and closer. Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping picked up their luggage and walked to the boarding gate, leaving the brother and sister a final time to say goodbye.
Jian Jianan and his brother stood face to face. They were born of the same mother and were the closest siblings. Their faces were 70% similar, and there was a wonderful feeling when they stood together.
"Study hard, I'll be waiting for you in Beijing."
Jian Jianan nodded: "Okay, I will."
"Goodbye then."
"Okay, goodbye, brother."
Jian Jianan turned around and walked towards the boarding gate, leaving her brother Jian Jiabei standing there looking at his sister's back.
Sister, grow up quickly!
He is really looking forward to meeting his sister in Beijing next year.
There are really so many people looking forward to her growing up!
Everyone is looking forward to what kind of surprise Jian Jianan will bring when he grows up!
