Chapter 504 So thoughtful!
Grandma obviously has something else to say!
Amid the sparks of electric carbide, Chen Kexin suddenly remembered something in her mind and asked anxiously, "Grandma, are you saying that your old family lived here?"
Wang Jiwen looked at his mother in surprise. Could it be such a coincidence?
"Mom, is this true? Is this the house that our family donated before?"
The old lady nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes!"
Wang Qiaolian was surprised and said: "This is too coincidental!"
Chen Kexin quickly thought of something and said seriously, "It's definitely not a coincidence. The relevant departments are aware of the Wang family's past history and are trying to please them."
There was one thing she didn't say: ordinary people are so insignificant in front of the state apparatus.
Wang Jiwen whispered, "I heard that the list of members of the inspection team has been faxed over a long time ago..."
Everyone is not a fool. They were able to return the old house and, knowing that the Wang family were two brothers, allowed them to buy another courtyard house next door. It was obvious that the leader was trying to show goodwill to the Wang family.
Just as they were lost in thought, someone knocked gently on the window and called out, "Mrs. Wang, Mr. Wang...here we are!"
Chen Kexin whispered to everyone: "Calm down!"
Then, she opened the car door and said with a sweet smile: "I'm sorry, my grandmother was a little carsick just now, so..."
Several comrades from the Investment Promotion Office nodded in understanding and said, "No rush!"
The leader of the Investment Promotion Office walked forward respectfully, helped the old lady get off the car and asked, "Madam, do you still remember this house?"
The old lady secretly praised her granddaughter. The child's analysis was so correct. On the surface, she remained calm and nodded slightly, saying, "How could I not remember? More than 40 years ago, I lived here when I got married. Later, the Wang family handed over their assets and this courtyard house to the state, and then they went to live with relatives and friends. I didn't expect that more than 30 years later, I finally came back."
The leader said earnestly: "The superiors said that the Wang family is a patriotic overseas Chinese and is welcome to return to China to settle down. We decided to return the old house to the Wang family as a gift to show our sincerity."
The old lady said politely: "Thank you!"
When the house was delivered, Wang Jiwen was still young.
He walked into the courtyard and found that although the house had been renovated, it still maintained its original layout. The fragments of his memory overlapped with everything in front of him. The scenes of his childhood play appeared in his mind, and his heart was suddenly filled with emotion.
Chen Kexin and her mother supported their grandmother on both sides. The old lady was obviously emotional as she was reminded of her father by the things he had seen.
This large courtyard with five entrances not only has rockery, but also seems to have springs and streams.
The five main rooms look spacious and bright, reflecting the grandeur of northern architecture.
The screen wall, hanging flower gate, long corridor, small bridge and flowing water fully display the delicacy and exquisiteness of southern gardens.
There are obviously lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond, plus fruit trees in the garden. If it is a summer with green trees, the scenery will definitely be charming.
Chen Kexin is jealous. This courtyard house will be worth hundreds of millions in the future. She really wants to buy one!
On second thought, such courtyard houses must be controlled by the higher-ups, so I decided to stop dreaming.
After walking around, the old lady was obviously tired. She walked into the main living room, and everyone's eyes lit up. There was a complete set of neatly arranged rosewood and mahogany furniture inside.
"this……"
The leader hurriedly explained: "Madam, the entire set of small-leaf red sandalwood furniture in the house was lost. We have found a set of ordinary mahogany furniture in the past few days. Please forgive us."
Rosewood is good too!
The old lady said with emotion: "More than 30 years have passed, and after so many things, how could it be preserved? This set of furniture is also very good."
The leader smiled with relief and said, "I'm glad the old man doesn't mind. The house next door is similar in layout. When can you go over and take a look?"
The old lady said to Wang Jiwen, "Awen, mother is a little tired. You can go over and see her later."
"OK!"
A few minutes later, Wang Jiwen and Chen Kexin arrived at the house next door. This courtyard house was indeed of similar size and layout, and was an ancient building with carved beams and painted rafters.
Not only was there no furniture in the house, but overall the view was not as good as the house next door.
"Uncle, do you want to buy it?"
"Of course, just buy a set of mahogany furniture and find someone to tidy it up and it will be almost the same as the one we just had."
Chen Kexin had been secretly calculating in her mind that if her uncle didn't buy it, she would get a bargain.
I was immediately discouraged when I heard this.
Yes, it's rare for two brothers to live next door to each other.
Wang Jiwen looked at her with deep eyes and couldn't help but smile.
When he came back and told his mother about the situation in the house next door, he then expressed his own thoughts.
"...Mother, I want to buy the courtyard house next door and give it to my sister. It will be convenient for you to look after her in the future. When my second brother comes to Longcheng, we brothers can live in this house."
What?
My uncle is actually going to give it to his own house?
So thoughtful!
Chen Kexin looked over there stupidly. Could it be that her uncle saw through her little thoughts?
Wang Jiwen scratched her upturned nose with a distressed look and said, "Your little thoughts are written all over your face. I'm not stupid. I've received so many gifts from you, so what's wrong with giving you a house worth 50,000 yuan?"
move!
Chen Kexin said with sparkling eyes: "Uncle is so nice!"
"You just realized how good your uncle is? Don't be anxious, wait for your uncle to find someone..."
Soon he remembered that he was not familiar with Longcheng, and hurriedly said, "After you buy it, you can find someone to repair it, and then find a place to buy mahogany furniture. I will pay for all these expenses."
Thinking of her uncle's wealth, Chen Kexin nodded unceremoniously and said, "It's a deal!"
The old lady praised with satisfaction: "Awen, this is a great job!"
Wang Qiaolian, who was sitting next to her mother, suddenly became anxious and said, "Mom, brother, the house is too expensive..."
As soon as I said this, I thought of the two hundred rice gold my mother gave me, plus the rice gold red envelope I gave her this time, and I suddenly didn't know what to say.
The old lady patted her hands gently and said, "Lian'er, if you don't accept it, we won't accept the expensive jewelry that Ke Xin gave us either."
Wang Qiaolian was speechless.
Next, Wang Jiwen went to handle the formalities, and Chen Kexin sent her grandmother and mother back.
As soon as they got home, they saw their neighbor Aunt Zhao getting up and rushing over.
"Qiao Lian, Ke Xin, go back and take a look. Your house has been burned down..."
It was like being struck by lightning, and Wang Qiaolian was stunned.
After a moment of daze, Chen Kexin quickly calmed down.
"Ma'am, what was burned? Have you found the arsonist?"
Aunt Zhao took a few deep breaths and said, "Fortunately, we found it in time. It was only your firewood pile and the wooden fence in the yard that were burned. The house is fine, and the criminals were not found..."
Chen Kexin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Qiaolian's pale face softened a little.
"Ke Xin, let's go back quickly."
At this time, Wang Jiwen was sent back by the investment promotion office. Upon hearing the news, he said anxiously, "Ke Xin, uncle should go over and take a look too!"
