Lin Xiuyao took over Su Qingmeng's work, "You go eat, I'll do it."
Tang Yanghua whispered to him, "You still dote on your wife so much."
He has seen many people and encountered many things in the past few years, and he feels that Lin Xiuyao's consistency is really rare. Nowadays, those wealthy bosses all look for young and beautiful mistresses, with red flags flying at home and colorful flags flying outside. It is rare to find someone as loyal as Lin Xiuyao.
During his time in Hainan, he discovered that Lin Xiuyao now had a very wealthy family, but he was able to restrain himself and did not enjoy material desires or women. Tang Yanghua felt that Lin Xiuyao would definitely have a great future.
Lin Xiuyao ignored his friends' teasing and handed the grilled oysters to Su Qingmeng and the squid to his son. Tang Yanghua asked, "What about me?"
"Do it yourself and you'll have enough food and clothing." Lin Xiuyao added ingredients to the grill.
"Okay," Tang Yanghua took the brush, "I'll do it."
Kang Kang: "Dad, the chicken you cooked is delicious and sweet."
"I knew you would like it." Lin Xiuyao also came over to the table and sat down to eat crabs.
The three of them ate at the dining table, and Tang Yanghua grilled seafood by himself. "It's not good to let the guests do this alone," Su Qingmeng whispered, "I'll go help."
"No," Lin Xiuyao held her down, "You eat yours." He went over to help, and the two of them grilled a large plate of seafood before coming over to enjoy it.
Tang Yanghua asked, "Is there any wine?"
"No," Lin Xiuyao had been taught by his wife that seafood and beer were a "gout combo," so when he was in Hainan, he seldom ate seafood and never drank alcohol.
"Fortunately, I was smart," he went to the car and took out a few bottles of beer, "I brought my own." Having known each other for many years, he also knew that Lin Xiuyao never drank unless it was necessary, so he brought his own when he came to eat this time.
Lin Xiuyao gave a symbolic advice, "Drink less, it's not good for your health."
"It's okay." Tang Yanghua opened the lid. A little beer was nothing.
As the two men ate, they talked about Hainan's real estate. Tang Yanghua said, "Bank loans are easy to get these days. Are you really not considering it? The larger the capital, the greater the profit. When you make money, you can just pay it back to them."
Lin Xiuyao shook his head and said, "I'd better play it safe." He has a wife and children and doesn't want to take risks. Mainly, he is not that eager to make money.
Kang Kang pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two. Su Qingmeng picked up a squid for him and said, "Concentrate on eating."
"Hehe," Kang Kang focused his attention on the delicious food on the table and ignored the adults' business advice.
The meal lasted over an hour. After Tang Yanghua said goodbye, they strolled to the beach to digest the food. Lin Xiuyao said, "Hainan is really a great place to travel."
Su Qingmeng: "You can build a resort hotel here in the future." As for now, it's not a good time. Lin Xiuyao understood her implication and said, "Wait two years. Sanya would be better."
The three of them spent the 1993 Spring Festival in Haikou. Lin Xiuyao pulled out a television from his space, pretending to have bought it from a department store. How could they celebrate the New Year without watching the Spring Festival Gala? Haikou's electricity supply was now better than in previous years, so at least watching TV was possible.
When the Spring Festival Gala started, the three of them were making dumplings. This year's dumplings were filled with Spanish mackerel. Lin Xiuyao rolled the dough, Su Qingmeng wrapped it, and Kang Kang was in charge of making trouble.
This year's Spring Festival Gala venue is on the second floor, which is particularly festive. The opening performance was a song by children about hanging lanterns. Kang Kang was very envious and said, "Dad, I want to be on TV too."
Lin Xiuyao: "What's the good of being on TV? Those kids can't spend the New Year at home with their parents. They have to perform on the Spring Festival Gala. Unlike you, you are now waiting at home to eat dumplings." He didn't want his son to be an actor because it was very hard.
Kang Kang: “But it’s fun to be on TV.”
Su Qingmeng looked at his painted face and said, "If you want to appear on TV, it's very easy. I'll find a crew for you to experience it when we get back." With her son's face, he should be able to be a temporary actor.
There were a lot of language programs this year, including Huang Hong's "Shoe Shine", Zhao Benshan's "Old New Year Greetings", Pan Changjiang's "Bridge", and Feng Gong's "Auction". They were all very interesting. The three of them went to bed with a sense of unfulfilled desire after watching the end. Su Qingmeng rubbed her cheeks, which hurt from laughing.
The next day, they woke up at nine o'clock. Haikou residents traditionally eat a vegetarian hot pot on the first day of the Lunar New Year. They followed local customs and learned the local recipe from their landlady. They stir-fried dried bean curd sheets, day lily, wood ear mushrooms, and small shiitake mushrooms. The stir-fried ingredients were then placed in a clay pot, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and salt added, and served hot. It was delicious.
After the New Year, Lin Xiuyao sent his mother and daughter home. This time he planned to stay at home for a month.
That day, the agent Xiao Chen called and said that there was a villa for sale on Nanjing West Road, and the two followed him to see the house.
The house is a three-story townhouse, closer to Kang Kang's school. It is a new-style alley with a brick and wood structure, suitable for living.
The house has a 30-square-meter garden. The first floor houses the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The second and third floors contain two rooms with terraces. There are also two attics on the first and second floors, totaling 210 square meters. Living facilities are similar to those in their apartment, including water, electricity, and gas.
Su Qingmeng looked very satisfied, so Lin Xiuyao asked, "How much?"
Xiao Chen said, "The owner wants 600,000." Seeing the two frowning, he quickly said, "The location is good, and the house is well preserved. This price is acceptable."
Su Qingmeng: "Let's go back and think about it. 600,000 is not a small amount of money."
On the way back, Lin Xiuyao asked, "Has this house attracted many visitors? Is it possible for the owner to lower the price?"
Xiao Chen: "There are quite a few people looking at it. Mr. Lin, we are old acquaintances. I won't hide it from you. The price should be lowered a little, but not too much."
Lin Xiuyao's house and his company's shop were all purchased through Xiao Chen. He was generous with his money, so Xiao Chen told the truth. There are not many people who can come up with such a large sum of money now. Others prefer newly built commercial houses. He only revealed the details when he saw that Lin Xiuyao wanted to buy one.
After returning home, the two discussed, "Do you think we should buy it or not?"
Lin Xiuyao: "If you like it, buy it. Although housing prices will drop next year, it doesn't guarantee you'll find the right one."
Su Qingmeng thought about it. Housing in Shanghai is tight right now. It's not easy to buy a suitable villa with clear property rights in the city center. "Okay, let's buy it."
Lin Xiuyao waited for a few days before going to find Xiao Chen. One shouldn't be too hasty in buying a house, as it's easy to be ripped off. He bargained with the owner and finally got it for 540,000 yuan.
Although the house was well preserved, he still found a decorator to redecorate it according to Su Qingmeng's ideas.
Lin Xiuyao set off for Hainan and began to deal with his assets. By April, he had sold all the land and houses.
