"You really don't remember anything about what happened after you got drunk?" Zhao Yilu asked tentatively.
"What can happen? After I get drunk, I just go back to my room and sleep. I got drunk before coming here, and I know my drinking behavior well. Every time I get drunk, I just go to sleep."
Zhao Yilu thought about it and decided not to let his young wife know such an embarrassing side of him, so he followed her words and said, "Well, your drinking tolerance... is really good! But don't get drunk again next time!"
Fan Hua ignored Zhao Yilu and drank all the remaining millet porridge in the thermos cup. She went to the urinate before lying down on the bed with satisfaction.
"I seem to have slept too long along the way. What should I do if I'm not sleepy anymore?"
She squinted at the red candles on the table and shyly nestled into Zhao Yilu's arms. "Today is our wedding night! How about we..."
Zhao Yi Lu held the little girl in his arms and asked hesitantly, "Are you sure? Will it make you feel uncomfortable?"
They did this three times when Fan Hua was drunk during the day, and Zhao Yilu was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Fan Hua thought Zhao Yilu was still worried that she was feeling unwell after getting drunk, so she immediately said, "No, I'm fine!"
In the past, Zhao Yilu always took the initiative, but today was a rare occasion for her to take the initiative. She originally thought that her big wolf dog would nod and agree immediately, but unexpectedly, he hesitated!
It's your wedding night, and you don't do anything. Is that right?!
Therefore, Fan Hua no longer cared about other things and directly proved her determination with actions...
Zhao Yilu...
Well, it was rare for the little girl to be so proactive, so he didn't care about anything else. He had already written three million words during the day, so he could write another three million words tonight. In short, as long as the little girl wanted to, he couldn't say no!
The crescent moon was only a small crescent this evening, floating in the sky like a small boat on a lake. She looked at the world, and soon she shyly hid in the clouds. I was too embarrassed to look at this shy scene any longer...
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu came to the Xie family with new year gifts. Their purpose of coming to the Xie family today was not to meet Geng Ailing and Xie Yongliang, but to get them to accompany them to meet Xie Yuchuan.
They wanted Xie Yuchuan, who worked at the Beijing Urban Construction Bureau, to help find out whether they could buy the Zhao family's old house.
When Xie Yuchuan heard the purpose of the two people's visit, he immediately said, "I have an impression of that house. It won't be a problem if you want to buy it, and you can definitely buy it at a slightly cheaper price than others.
Because the house was originally donated by the Zhao family, and now Mr. Zhao has been rehabilitated, the country has special subsidy policies for such talents, so they can get preferential treatment!
In addition, the government just issued a policy to sell public housing this year, so in the next few years, as long as you have the money, it will not be difficult to buy a house. "
When Fan Hua and the others heard this, their faces were filled with surprise and they asked anxiously, "When can we go through the formalities? How much money do we need to prepare to buy this house?"
Xie Yuchuan took out a pen and paper to calculate the area of the house and said, "This house is quite large, almost twice the size of an ordinary courtyard house. It will cost about 6,000 yuan to buy it. As for the formalities, you have to wait until the fifth day of the New Year to go to the Urban Construction Bureau after work. But if you have to return to Yangcheng before the fifth day of the New Year, I can also help you handle it!"
In this day and age, it is no longer necessary to be present in person when buying a house. Many procedures can be handled on behalf of others.
Fan Hua excitedly grabbed Zhao Yilu's hand. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She immediately said, "Okay, we'll buy it! Also, Brother Xie, if there are any courtyard houses for sale in a hurry near this house, please keep an eye out for us. We're going to buy another one for ourselves!"
Geng Ailing at the side could not help but say: "Lihua, you usually stay in Yangcheng, you can live with your grandparents in Beijing, and you can live with your grandparents in the future, why do you still need to spend money to buy a house?"
Seeing Geng Ailing ask this, Fan Hua replied very seriously: "Sister Ailing, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own home. It is more convenient to buy a house of your own. In the future, when you want to live in a lively place, you can live with the elderly. When you want to live in a quiet place, you can live in your own home. It is so good. If you and Brother Xie have spare money, just listen to me and buy a house in Beijing. Anyway, money can't make eggs or have children. It's better to exchange it for a house. No one can take it away. Even if you don't want to live there anymore, you can sell it. Believe me, you will not lose money!"
Geng Ailing had saved some money from making clothes for others this year, and Xie Yongliang had saved up a lot of money. It was not a problem for them to spend a few thousand dollars to buy a courtyard house. In addition, she trusted Fan Hua unconditionally, so she made the decision immediately after hearing what she said.
So he said, "Cousin, please keep an eye out for us later. It would be best if it is close to Lihua and the others. We can still be neighbors when we return to Beijing and visit from time to time."
Xie Yuchuan smiled and nodded, "No problem, I'll take care of it. I'll make sure to pick out two good houses for both of you!"
After the matter was settled, Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu took out some money from their passbooks and handed them to Xie Yuchuan. "Brother Xie, I'll give you 8,000 first. 6,000 is for the Zhao family's house, and the other 2,000 is for you to help us keep an eye out for a suitable courtyard house. This is the deposit. When the time comes, please call us to let us know how much is short, and we will remit the balance."
Xie Yuchuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the woman in front of him taking out eight thousand yuan without blinking an eye. In this day and age, there are not many people who can take out eight thousand yuan at once!
He heard that this girl was from the countryside like his brother's wife, but he didn't think so at all. He was afraid that girls in the city wouldn't be as quick and straightforward as she was when it came to taking money.
Zhao Yilu noticed the way Xie Yuchuan was looking at Fan Hua, so he unnoticeably took Fan Hua's hand, coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Xie! We have something else to do at home so we'll go back first and come visit you next time!"
On the way home, Fan Hua's smile never dropped. Zhao Yilu looked at her with amusement, "Are you so happy about buying a house?"
"Of course. Yilu, do you know how many times the number of courtyard houses in Beijing will increase in size in forty years?" Fan Hua asked excitedly.
Zhao Yilu shook his head and followed up with his question, "How many times?"
Fan Hua counted on her fingers. Zhao Yilu watched her count several times and finally counted down to five fingers. He asked, "50 times?"
Fan Hua shook her head: "It's five figures, nearly 100,000 times! A house that sells for a few thousand dollars now can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars in 40 years!"
Zhao Yilu was also shocked, "How could it be sold at such a high price?"
Fan Hua nodded heavily. "In the next few decades, due to inflation and rising prices, money will become less and less valuable. Tens of thousands of yuan will be too common for people forty years from now, but hundreds of millions of yuan are still astronomical figures for ordinary people. So this house is really worth buying. Few people will be able to afford it in the future."
"Should we wait until we have money to buy a few more sets?" Zhao Yilu asked while driving.
"No matter how many houses I buy, it's just the same. Human greed knows no end, and money is something you can never earn enough of. If I use all the money I earn to buy houses in Beijing, it will be meaningless. So I'll keep my favorite house in Beijing for myself, and buy two more for investment when I have the chance."
"It's the 1980s now, and the best times are about to come. When I return to Guangzhou, I will start preparing to set up a garment factory and build up my small business. When we make more money in the future, we can buy houses in several important cities across the country. That way, when we get old and retire, we can live wherever we want! No matter where we go, we will have our own home!"
Zhao Yilu nodded: "Everything is up to my wife, but she is too strong, there is no room for me to show my abilities. I will have to live off her in the future!"
Fan Hua laughed, her eyes narrowed into slits, and patted his shoulder, "Okay, okay, I'll support you from now on!"
Zhao Yilu also laughed. His wife said that he became a famous entrepreneur in Beijing in his previous life. So this time he would be the man behind his wife. His wife liked to make money, so he would unconditionally support her in making money.
And he has to get a higher position and be a good umbrella for his wife! Even if his wife is in a high position and is envied by others, those people will not dare to touch her when he mentions the man behind her!
