What to do with Pei Zhiqiang's job is a question that remains unsolved for now.
After all, he didn't have any special skills, and the Pei family had no connections in the city to help him find a better job, so the plan of the whole family moving to the city had to be put on hold for the time being.
The Pei family decided to buy the house first.
The Pei family first went to the city to find a real estate agency and asked them to help find several suitable houses. Finally, they chose a property called Mingmen Community, which was relatively close to No. 18 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School.
This property was sold out a few years ago, so if you want to buy a house here, you can only buy someone else's second-hand house.
Led by the real estate agent, the Pei family went to Mingmen Community for an on-site observation and looked at about three houses.
The first one is a second-hand bare house, and the other two have been simply renovated, but they are on higher floors. The second one costs 850 yuan per square meter, and the third one is cheaper.
The savings of the Pei family plus Pei Tiantian's 70,000 yuan totaled about 110,000 to 120,000 yuan. Among the three houses the real estate agent showed them, the third one was the cheapest because the owner was in a hurry to sell it and it only cost 700 yuan per square meter, so they planned to buy the third house.
This house has an area of 105 square meters. Wang Ruizhen walked into the living room and found that the lighting in the living room was not particularly good. However, compared with the first and second houses, this house is already relatively suitable.
Wang Ruizhen said to Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhi: "What do you think?"
Pei Zhiwen: "Let's go with this set. We still have to buy furniture. It's almost done."
Pei Zhiqiang: "I have no opinion."
"Tiantian, what do you think?" Wang Ruizhen asked.
Pei Tiantian shook her head: "Grandma, I'll listen to you."
Wang Ruizhen nodded, and she told the real estate agent that she planned to buy this house.
The real estate agent showed an extremely sincere smile on her face, and she was preparing to go to the company with the Pei family to sign the contract.
As the group was walking to the gate of the community, Pei Tiantian suddenly noticed two familiar figures.
The one walking in front is Jia Shuhong, and the one behind is Ma Xiangdong
Pei Tiantian shouted: "Teacher Ma, Aunt Jia!"
Ma Xiangdong quickly turned his head and found that it was the little girl Pei Tiantian. He also saw several adults standing behind Pei Tiantian.
Ma Xiangdong had also met the Pei family before, so he naturally recognized them. So he introduced them to Jia Shuhong and told them that they were Pei Tiantian's family members.
When Jia Shuhong found out, he walked up to them and greeted them.
Looking at the somewhat confused eyes of the Pei family, Ma Xiangdong explained to them that Jia Shuhong was his aunt whose throat was cured by Tiantian.
The Pei family finally understood.
Ma Xiangdong asked: "Are you here to visit relatives?"
Wang Ruizhen said: "No, the children in my family will go to school here soon, so we plan to buy a house near the school, so that it will be convenient for the children to go to school."
"So that's how it is. What a coincidence, I also live in this community." Ma Xiangdong said with a smile.
Pei Tiantian stared with her round grape eyes, full of surprise.
She thought she would rarely have the chance to meet Ma Xiangdong again, but she didn't expect that Ma Xiangdong would soon live in the same community with her.
Pei Tiantian said with a smile: "Teacher Ma, it turns out that you also bought a house here."
Ma Xiangdong: "I didn't buy it. This community was built by my uncle's company. It's free, so they gave it to me for free. It's a waste if I don't live in it."
Pei Tiantian: “…” Teacher Ma’s ability to attract hatred is still as good as ever.
The most deadly thing is to show off your wealth invisibly.
Ma Xiangdong was also very surprised, but he was still very happy to see Pei Tiantian again.
The whole city is so big. The Pei family chose his community. Doesn't this mean that he and Pei Tiantian are destined to be together?
Pei Tiantian blinked her grape eyes and smiled and said, "Then I can go to Teacher Ma's house to eat. Teacher Ma, you won't reject us, right?"
When Ma Xiangdong heard this, he looked at her with amusement, "Little girl, come whenever you want. Don't worry, Teacher Ma will not be unable to treat you to a meal."
Wang Ruizhen was also very happy. Ma Xiangdong lived in this community, and Pei Tiantian and the others would live here from then on. If anything emergency happened, at least there would be an adult they could rely on.
Jia Shuhong asked, "Have you found a good house?"
Pei Zhiwen: "Okay, I'm going to sign the contract now."
Ma Xiangdong: "Which house are you looking at?"
Wang Ruizhen said it was the house 8-3 in building 2.
Jia Shuhong said: "The eighth floor is a bit high. Tiantian is still a child. It is very tiring to climb up and down every day."
Pei Zhiwen said: "It is indeed a bit high, but this house is already good compared to the other ones, and most importantly, the price is more than 100 yuan cheaper per square meter than the other houses we looked at, so we decided to buy this one."
Jia Shuhong pondered and said, "Xiangdong and I both live on the third floor of Building 2. You can go up with us and take a look."
When the Pei family heard this, they thought that Jia Shuhong invited them to her home, so they nodded and asked the real estate agent to go first, and they would go to the company to sign the contract later.
After the real estate agent left, the Pei family followed Ma Xiangdong and Jia Shuhong to the third floor.
Ma Xiangdong's house is 3-1, and Jia Shuhong is opposite him, 3-2.
This apartment has a good layout, so when it was launched on the market a few years ago, Jia Shuhong not only gave one to Ma Xiangdong, but also kept one for herself.
After Jia Shuhong opened the door, he let the Pei family in and showed them around the living room, kitchen, and four bedrooms. Jia Shuhong said, "What do you think?"
Wang Ruizhen looked around. The house was very big, about 130 square meters.
There are smooth tile floors, solid wood furniture, leather sofas, and complete home appliances.
"The decoration is really nice." Wang Ruizhen exclaimed.
However, perhaps because Jia Shuhong seldom comes to live here, although the house is fully furnished and looks expensive, it lacks a bit of popularity.
Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang also nodded. Of course it was good, but the only drawback was that it was too expensive. All these furniture would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars in total.
Seeing that the Pei family was quite satisfied, Jia Shuhong said, "Do you want to take another look at this house? See if there is anything that needs to be renovated."
Wang Ruizhen felt more and more puzzled after hearing this. Since Jia Shuhong rarely lived in this house, why was it necessary to redecorate it? "No need. This house is good enough. There is no need to change anything."
Pei Tiantian stood aside, and a guess gradually emerged in her mind. Could it be that Jia Shuhong wanted to give this house to them?
The next moment, Pei Tiantian's guess was verified. Jia Shuhong said, "If you are satisfied with this house, I will give it to you."
Jia Shuhong's voice was very calm, but as soon as she finished speaking, the whole room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The Pei family members were all stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ma Xiangdong felt a little complicated, but not too surprised. In fact, when Jia Shuhong called the Pei family up to see the house just now, Ma Xiangdong had expected this.
But what he didn't expect was that his aunt was the most direct person. She didn't beat around the bush and just gave the gift as soon as she said it would be given.
"How can this be possible? How can we take your house for no reason?" Wang Ruizhen was the first to come to her senses and quickly refused.
Everyone in the Pei family could see that Jia Shuhong was not an ordinary person, either in her dress or her conversation.
But the Pei family had never seen anyone directly say that he wanted to give someone a house.
Jia Shuhong said: "How can you say it's for no reason? If it weren't for Tiantian, I would still be unable to speak. You can just consider this house as my thank you gift."
Pei Zhiwen: "Before you asked Teacher Ma to bring gifts to our home, we accepted them. Ginseng and abalone are enough as a thank you gift. Giving a house is too exaggerated. We will never accept it no matter what."
Although Pei Tiantian felt it was a pity, she also knew that this was the style of the Pei family.
Pei Tiantian pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Jia, thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. We brought money today. We have money in our hands and can buy a house by ourselves!"
Ma Xiangdong smiled and tried to smooth things over: "How about this, Tiantian, since your family is going to buy a house, why don't you just buy my aunt's house? You can live here and become my neighbor across the street, so we can take care of each other."
Ma Xiangdong's words were very touching, but they couldn't afford Jia Shuhong's house.
Jia Shuhong's house is larger than the 105-square-meter house they just looked at. It should be the largest apartment in the community. Including the furniture in the house, the price is conservatively estimated to be more than 150,000 or 160,000 yuan.
"We only have 120,000 yuan, which is probably not enough."
Jia Shuhong shook her head. "120,000 is more than enough. I didn't spend any money on this house. The only things I spent money on were the furniture. You really don't need to feel too burdened. I don't live in this house often. Leaving it idle here is a waste. Isn't it good to sell it to you?"
Ma Xiangdong also persuaded the Pei family to buy this house, saying that his aunt already had many houses and this one was not a big deal.
Pei Tiantian: “…” Woohoo, hearing this, she felt even more sour.
After Jia Shuhong and Ma Xiangdong persuaded them, the Pei family finally nodded.
They stopped cooperating with the real estate agency, and then Jia Shuhong took them directly to transfer the house.
After everyone's unanimous agreement, the name on the property certificate was written as Wang Ruizhen.
After the transfer procedures were completed, the Pei family invited Jia Shuhong to have a simple meal together.
The Pei family wanted to take care of Xie Jiagui's business, so they took Jia Shuhong and Ma Xiangdong to the imperial kitchen for dinner.
Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan were still busy in the lobby. When they saw them coming, they asked about the progress of the house purchase.
Pei Zhiwen told them that not only had he bought the house, but he had also bought the largest one, with all the furniture in it, and he had saved on decoration, spending a total of 120,000 yuan.
Wan Cuilan still couldn't believe it. Such a good thing could happen. Wasn't this a huge bargain?
Wang Ruizhen introduced Jia Shuhong's identity to them. Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan then realized that it was because Pei Tiantian had cured this person's eyes before that she sold the house to them at a low price.
Wan Cuilan and Zhou Wanhong both had to sigh that they were indeed very lucky.
Of course, all this is because of Tiantian. If it weren’t for Tiantian, they wouldn’t be able to buy the house at a low price, let alone pay the full price for the house.
During the meal, Pei Tiantian sat next to Jia Shuhong, calling her "Auntie" all the time and introducing various dishes to Jia Shuhong.
The little girl was talking excitedly, and her cleverness was so appealing to everyone.
Jia Shuhong looked at the little kid tenderly. She was so clingy and adorable that she was extremely happy and wanted to hug him and kiss him a few more times.
However, because Jia Shuhong and Ma Xiangdong had things to do in the afternoon, they didn't say anything else to the Pei family after dinner, and they left in a hurry.
The Pei family returned to the village with the contract in their arms. They really didn't expect that it would be so easy. They didn't have to decorate the house themselves or buy furniture themselves, and they just bought such a good house.
Wang Ruizhen carefully put the contract into her drawer, thinking that when school starts, the children can move in directly with their bags, which is really convenient.
Pei Zhiqiang said: "In the final analysis, all this is Tiantian's credit, but Teacher Ma's aunt is indeed a down-to-earth person."
Pei Zhiwen also sighed: "People say that the richer people are, the more stingy they are. It seems that this is not always the case."
After all, offering a house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for free is something that not everyone can do.
The news that the Pei family bought a house in the city quickly spread throughout the village.
Everyone in the village was sighing that the Pei family was indeed wealthy. In order to send their children to school, they bought a big house in the city. I heard that it was fully decorated and people could move in directly. It must have cost a lot of money.
Everyone in the village was chattering and asking how many tens of thousands of dollars the Pei family had spent.
The Pei family members kept their mouths shut and refused to reveal any number to them.
After Zou Hao completed the last course of treatment for his leg, he bid farewell to the Pei family at the end of August.
Wang Ruizhen said: "Haozi, take care of yourself. When you get to Beijing, remember to write us a letter to let us know you are safe."
"Uncle, when you get to Beijing, you must take good care of yourself, eat and sleep on time, and also, you must write to me every month!"
Pei Tiantian looked up and said reluctantly.
Zou Hao nodded, then bent down and hugged Pei Tiantian. He also glanced at Gu Rong, reached out and touched Gu Rong's little head, and said softly: "Take good care of Tiantian for me."
Gu Rong nodded, of course.
Zou Hao said goodbye to the Pei family again, then turned around and left with his bag.
Zou Hao's long legs allowed him to walk powerfully, without any sign of damage.
Zou Hao has returned to being the strong soldier he once was, and now he is about to embark on an unknown road.
Pei Tiantian looked at Zou Hao's back and could only pray silently that he was safe in Beijing.
