This is the time when all the lights are on and it is the time for entertainment after dinner.
While other families either sit together watching TV or warming themselves around the fire and chatting, Cuihua's family is still bustling with activity.
Jian Xiaoxing asked, "Where is your daughter?"
Cuihua nodded towards the house and said, "He's reading in the house. He has an exam soon, but he still wants to play. His father scolded him a few times, so he hid in the house and refused to come out."
As they were talking, Narcissus came out with a cup of water. Her watery eyes looked at Jian Xiaoxing and Shen Ze, then she smiled and went to pour some hot water.
Jian Xiaoxing ignored her and started talking about the house with Cuihua. Before they could say a few words, Shuixian had already filled the pot with water and passed by her. She suddenly said in her ear, "Your boyfriend is so handsome!", then went into the house with a smile.
She didn't react for a moment, but Shen Ze next to her blushed first.
When they are together, there are always people who like to pair them up.
Jian Xiaoxing started bargaining with Cuihua as if nothing had happened.
Without much effort, the price hit bottom.
"Miss, you're an old acquaintance, so I won't hide anything. The owner of this house has passed away, leaving only a son who runs a business in Wancheng. He originally wanted to rent it out to make money, but unexpectedly a tenant backed out. He also heard that the welfare housing for the chemical plant was about to be completed, so he thought it would be difficult to sell the house in the future, so he asked me to sell it. He doesn't expect to make much money, just to avoid losing money. At least a thousand yuan."
Cuihua looked sincere.
Shen Ze agreed without hesitation. This was already far below his psychological price and much lower than the apartment he currently lived in.
Jian Xiaoxing was also very satisfied with the price, but he was worried about the ownership of the houses. Most of these houses were allocated by enterprises to individuals, and the ownership may still be in the hands of the enterprises.
Cuihua assured them about this, saying that the original company had gone bankrupt long ago and the house had long been owned by an individual, but there was no property certificate, so it would be difficult to sell the house in the future and it was only suitable for their own residence.
Jian Xiaoxing asked Cuihua to write a house transfer agreement and make sure the homeowner signed it in person.
Although it took some effort, Cuihua agreed. This meant that it might take some time for her to mail the agreement.
Chen Ze knew that Jian Xiaoxing made this request because he was afraid that the landlord would go back on his word, so he agreed very much. He was not in a hurry to move in anyway, so he was willing to wait.
After the matter was settled, it soon reached Yu Biao's ears. I don't know how he told his family, but his younger brother would climb over the wall into the house from time to time to look for things inside.
Yu Biao tried to persuade his brother not to do such a thing, but his mother defended him: "Your brother is weak, how much can he take? Now the house has been sold, the transaction has not yet been completed, and it is still within our lease period. Why can't he take something?"
His younger brother is in his twenties. He has been weak since childhood, skinny like a little chicken, and has asthma. His mother raises him like a piece of jade in her mouth.
He was able to climb over the wall, and his mother not only didn't say anything about him, but also thought he had grown up.
Later, when he was climbing down the wall, he scraped his knee a little, and his mother stopped him from going.
Of course, Jian Xia didn't know about these things.
Yu Biao didn't dare tell her this, so he just coaxed her and let her and his mother continue to run the clothing store.
After running the store for ten days and half a month without getting any money back, Jian Xia asked Yu Biao how the business was and whether he wanted her to help manage it.
Yu Biao always coaxed Jian Xia and told her not to go to the store. "Don't worry, my mom has been running a street stall for so long, she's very good at talking now. Maybe it's because it's just after the Chinese New Year and everyone has no money in their pockets, so business is bad."
His mother had a different response: "Why did you ask her to come? I'm already old, I've walked more roads than she has walked bridges, and I'm better than her at everything! Just coax her and make her follow you steadily!"
Yu Biao naturally understood what his mother meant. Now they rented a house near the clothing store, which was 60 square meters and very spacious. It had running water, a toilet and a bathroom, which they had never dared to imagine before.
The rent is a little expensive, costing 500 yuan a year. All the money earned from the clothing store goes into buying the house.
Seeing that his younger brother had nothing to do all day, Yu Biao suggested that he help out in the store with some work within his ability, but his mother retorted:
"What can your brother do with that body? I work so hard just to make sure he doesn't have to do it. You should take some time to keep an eye out for suitable girls and introduce one to him. He's not a kid anymore, it's time for him to think about that."
His younger brother stays at home all day. When he wakes up, he eats and watches TV. Now he is even addicted to watching movies in the video hall.
He didn't go to Jian Xia's video hall, which showed serious TV dramas. Instead, he went to some colorful video halls with small dark rooms. Anyway, he spent one or two dollars without feeling any regret. If he ran out of money, he would ask his mother for it.
Ever since Yu Biao spent the night with her during the typhoon, Jian Xia's relationship with him has become much closer than before. Yu Biao just explained these things casually and she no longer asked about them.
Anyway, the video hall business has always been good, and she has a good income. For a while, she seemed to have achieved success in both love and career.
Sometimes Jian Xiaoxing simply didn't come to the video room to avoid seeing them being so affectionate.
I don’t want to go back to my uncle’s house, otherwise my aunt will become suspicious.
She thought the two sisters were together!
So she just read in the office at night.
The office is warm, so a light sweater will be fine.
Every time she felt tired while reading, she would feel warm in her heart when she thought that Chen Ze across from her was also working overtime under the desk lamp.
