"The decoration and furniture are a bit old-fashioned, but they are all genuine mahogany. If you buy this house, spend some money to renovate the walls, floors, and furniture, you can move in directly."
The house that Zhao Dafa introduced to the couple happened to be on the same street where Zhao Dafa lived, but the house was a bit old, and it was built before the liberation.
Red brick walls, black tile roof, and an independent courtyard.
Shen Mingzhu fell in love with this old house at first sight. Not only was it quiet with its own entrance and courtyard, but it would also be a fortune after being demolished and rebuilt in twenty years.
This location is in the city center, and it will definitely be a prime business district in the future! Even if it is not demolished and rebuilt, the value of this house will increase exponentially.
Shen Mingzhu was secretly excited, "Brother Zhao, how much does this house cost?"
"One hundred and eleven."
Zhao Dafa calculated the cost for the couple, "The house has two floors, two living rooms, a kitchen, three bathrooms, five rooms, and an indoor area of 220 square meters. The courtyard and terrace are free. Oh, and there's a basement, which can be used to store some sundries and wine. It's very nice."
It’s really beautiful.
Thirty years later, such an old house would cost at least tens of millions.
"Brother Zhao, I like this house very much, but the price is a bit high. To tell you the truth, the most we can come up with is 9,000 yuan."
Zhao Dafa scratched his head and said, "How about this, I'll make an appointment with the landlord some other day, and you two can sit down and talk."
"good."
On the way back, seeing Shen Mingzhu's happy face, Pei Yang couldn't help but smile.
"Do you like that house so much?"
Shen Mingzhu looked at him, her eyes and eyebrows bright with spring, "Don't you like it?"
Without waiting for Pei Yang to speak, she counted on her fingers and imagined, "Five rooms, one for the two of us, one for each of the two children, and the remaining two rooms, one for the study and one for the guest room."
The most important thing is that living in a private house with its own yard is quiet and comfortable, and you no longer have to listen to the nagging of people in the family compound.
Pei Yang held her waist, his deep voice full of doting, "Since you like it so much, then buy it."
"Don't you need to look for something else?"
After deciding to buy a house, this is the first house they look at.
Pei Yang pinched her fair chin and said, "Why are you so distracted? You've already met someone you like, but you still want to look at someone else?"
Shen Mingzhu slapped his hand away with a snort, "Don't you have to compare prices before buying something?"
Pei Yang looked at her with a dark look in his eyes. "I don't need to compare prices. I'll buy it once I see it."
Shen Mingzhu blinked, "Are you talking about me?"
Pei Yang smiled, "Not that stupid."
After a pause, he continued, "This is the house, no need to look at anything else."
Shen Mingzhu said she had no objection.
The date for the interview with the landlord happened to be Saturday, so Shen Mingzhu also took Pei Ziheng with her so that he could see the new home.
The owner of the house is a young woman. It is said that the house was occupied by the older generation. Her two brothers went abroad, and she married and moved abroad.
After my parents passed away, the old house has been empty for several years.
A decades-old house like this will only be lively if someone lives in it. If it is empty, it will decay in a few years.
"I have lived in this house since I was born, for 20 years. If I didn't want it to go bad, I wouldn't sell it."
Upon learning that Shen Mingzhu wanted to move to a bigger house because her family had a baby, the young woman readily lowered the price by 500 yuan as a sign of sincerity and blessing.
In the next few days, we will raise money, make transactions and transfer ownership.
When handling the transfer procedures, Pei Yang insisted on writing only Shen Mingzhu's name.
In his words, "Our family is complete only with you."
No one can predict the future, but at this moment, Shen Mingzhu clearly felt the man's sincerity and commitment.
She accepted the affection.
After completing the transfer procedures, Shen Mingzhu returned to the old house.
Standing in front of the door of the old house, tears started flowing down her face without any warning.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Wife, what's wrong? Are you crying for joy?"
Shen Mingzhu looked at the father and son with tears in her eyes, crying and laughing, "I have a home now."
Although she has been here for quite a while and has gradually built a family, a career, love, kinship and friendship, it is not until this moment that this ancient and elegant old house is engraved with her name.
It is a house that belongs to her completely, regardless of whose daughter-in-law she is or who her husband is.

Just like a tree that has taken root, it now has a place to belong.
Although Pei Yang could not understand her thoughts, he could feel her joy and emotion from the bottom of her heart.
This made him feel that it was a very wise thing to write his wife's name on the house title deed.
Pei Ziheng stretched out his little paw and grabbed his mother's hand, his pretty little face looking thoughtful.
It turns out that a big house can give mothers a sense of security.
When he makes money in the future, he will buy many big houses for his mother.
…
Regarding buying a big house, there was someone who was happier than Shen Mingzhu's family of three, and that was Zhao Yun.
From now on, the two families will live on the same street. Not only can he go to and from school with Pei Ziheng every day, but he can also go to Pei's house for meals every day!
Although you have bought a house, you still need to renovate it if you want to live comfortably.
After all, it is a decades-old house. The wires, pipes, walls, floors, doors and windows all need to be replaced with new ones, and some old and unnecessary decorations also need to be removed.
According to Shen Mingzhu's requirements, it doesn't matter if the furniture in the house is a little old, but it must be clean and bright.
Pei Yang was busy with the food factory and the decoration of the new house. He tried to let her stay in the new house for her confinement and also had to take care of her.
Shen Mingzhu felt distressed when she saw the man becoming visibly thinner and haggard. However, she really couldn't help. She could only try her best not to cause trouble to the family. She was very careful when going out every day, insisted on walking and exercising, listening to music and the radio, and keeping a good mood.
Pei Wenping took care of everything for the newborn, including underwear, bottles, diapers, quilts, milk powder, pajamas, maternity pads, toilet paper, toiletries, etc. Even the nanny who could take care of her during the confinement period was hired by Pei Wenping.
Shen Mingzhu often felt that her greatest contribution to having children was providing a belly.
The due date is August 7, which is the beginning of autumn.
On the 4th, Pei Wenping came to Shen Mingzhu's house and reminded her to go to the hospital two days in advance to give birth, so as to avoid being in a hurry.
Shen Mingzhu thought it made sense and started packing after dinner.
In fact, she didn't need to pack much, as Pei Wenping had already prepared everything for her, and packed them into the luggage bag according to categories. She only needed to put her household registration booklet, birth certificate, and prenatal examination booklet in.
Perhaps because she would have to go to the hospital to give birth tomorrow, Shen Mingzhu was a little anxious and tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep.
Pei Yang coaxed her for a while and then fell asleep himself.
Just after twelve o'clock, Shen Mingzhu suddenly felt something strange in her body and hurriedly woke up Pei Yang beside her.
After Pei Yang woke up, he felt the bed sheet was wet. He stood up and turned on the lamp. He turned his head to look at Shen Mingzhu and asked, "Wife, did you wet the bed?"
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she wanted to kick him under the bed.
