Chapter 693 694. The Third Brother’s Friends and New Work Arrangements
Yue Wenxuan had just given each person $5,000 in pocket money and a pair of big gold bracelets, and now he was going to buy each person a house, and it was a house in Kyoto. The surprise came quickly and suddenly.

Even Yue Hongying, who was always carefree and didn't care much about money, felt her heart pounding. She felt that she was too excited at the moment, so she quickly covered her chest, trying to calm herself down as soon as possible.

Except for Yue Hongxiu who was not present, Yue Wenxuan's other six children have also entered middle age. They all understand the difficulties of life and the significance of a house in Kyoto.

In addition to Yue Hongying, several of Yue Wenxuan's children all have children studying in Kyoto. If their family can have a house in Kyoto, it will undoubtedly be a great joy.

Yue Wenxuan had already prepared a place for his children to stay in Kyoto. After they arrived in Kyoto, they could live in their own house, which was very convenient. But the house they lived in did not belong to them personally after all. If they could have a house of their own in the future, it would naturally be a different feeling.

Yue Hongying was the first to speak, "Dad, I love the house in Huaqiao Park so much! Whether it's the community environment or the interior decoration of the house, I never dreamed that it would be so good.

If you are willing to give me one, I really can't refuse it!
Even if I can only come here once or twice a year, I will feel very happy. "

Yue Wenxuan was quite pleased to see his second daughter's frankness, and said cheerfully: "You are quite good at choosing. Since you like the house in Huaqiao Park, then you can pick one first.

Since I have promised to buy a house for each of you, I have to make you satisfied. "

Seeing that the other children were still hesitant, Yue Wenxuan didn't care what they were thinking and continued:

“You don’t have to rush to make a decision right away. After all, this is not an urgent matter and you can take your time to think about it.

Although the houses in Overseas Chinese Park are nice, they may not be the best choice from the perspective of future appreciation.

If you ask me, the courtyard houses in Kyoto are a scarce resource. In my opinion, they have a higher potential for appreciation in the future.

At this stage, the houses in Overseas Chinese Park are indeed too expensive. If you use so many dollars to buy a courtyard house, it is enough to buy a courtyard house with three entrances, and the location is also very good.

I don't lack this little money. I bought the house in Overseas Chinese Park just to live comfortably at the moment, but you can't ignore this issue.

If we take a long-term view and consider the property appreciation over the next few decades, Siheyuan should be a good choice.”

The second son, Yue Hongtai, immediately responded, "I think what our father said makes sense. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose the Siheyuan.

Even if I don’t consider the future appreciation of the property and only consider the housing area, I would definitely choose a siheyuan.

Just like what my dad said, buying a house in Huaqiao Park is enough to buy a three-story courtyard house. With such a large yard, there are dozens of rooms, which can accommodate many people and is spacious. Just thinking about it makes me feel that it is a good deal. "

Yue Hongtai has always been good at calculating. For him, the advantages of the Siheyuan are so great that he doesn't need to think too much and can make a decision immediately.

The eldest brother Yue Hongguo also said: "The house in Huaqiao Park is indeed very good, but if compared with the three-courtyard courtyard, I think the area is too small and not cost-effective.

If I had to choose, I still think that the houses in Huaqiao Park are too expensive. The price is unacceptable. Siheyuan is more economical and affordable. "

"I also think Siheyuan is good, but I heard that large Siheyuan with clear property rights are not easy to buy. If I can buy one, I will choose Siheyuan."

After the eldest sister Yue Hongyan finished speaking, she looked at her younger sister and said, "Hongying, I would advise you not to rush into making a decision. For such a big matter, it would be better for you to go back and discuss it with Shuguang.

This is a cost of $10,000 or $20,000. Don’t make a decision so rashly or you will regret it in the future.”

The third brother Yue Hongmin also advised: "Hongying, I think what the eldest sister said is right, you should think carefully before making a decision.

Just think about how big the courtyard house with three entrances is, and how big the house in the Overseas Chinese Park is. There is no comparison at all!
Since the cost is about the same, of course I should choose the bigger one, I can’t go wrong.”

After listening to everyone's advice, Yue Hongying became a little hesitant and said, "What you said makes sense, so I'll think about it again. Buying a house is indeed a big deal, and we can't make a decision too rashly."

Since Yue Wenxuan had given his analysis, he certainly supported the children in buying the courtyard house. Seeing that Hongying was still a little hesitant, he said to her:
"If you just want to stay in Huaqiao Park occasionally, these houses are ours. You can come and stay anytime, for as long as you want, and no one will chase you away."

In Yue Hongying's mind, her father's image has always been very high, and what he said before has never been wrong. Since her father said so, she no longer hesitated and decided to buy a courtyard house.

Seeing that the children had reached a consensus, Yue Wenxuan continued:
“Buying a house is a very troublesome thing, especially buying a large courtyard house, there are more things to worry about.

The first condition is clear property rights. Houses with historical disputes must not be purchased.

There is one more important condition - the house must be vacant and there cannot be any tenants in it.

Tenants in the courtyards are assigned by work units or streets. Although they are not the owners, it is very difficult to ask them to leave. Even if it can be done, it is a laborious task.

In addition, the address and the preservation of the house are also very important, which depends on the actual situation. "

After all, Yue Wenxuan's children are not from Kyoto, so they may not be aware of these matters that need attention. He needs to make these matters clear in advance, so that the children don't spend money and still get angry, which is unnecessary.

After explaining the things to pay attention to when buying a house, he continued:
"You guys are going to stay in Kyoto for a few more days, so take advantage of your free time to get a comprehensive understanding of the housing purchase situation.

Once you have a clear understanding of the general situation, you can arrange for the children to handle the house buying task.

Buying the house of your dreams is not an easy thing. You must not be in a hurry and just take it slow.

I just pay the money and don't worry about it. As for the budget for buying a house, it doesn't need to exceed 20,000 US dollars.

But there is one thing I need to remind you of: the current price of a Siheyuan is not too high, so if you find a suitable one, it will definitely be a good deal to buy it right away.

But if you keep delaying, the price of the courtyard house will definitely continue to rise. The longer you delay buying a house, the higher the price will be, so you should be mentally prepared. "

Yue Hongtai said regretfully, "It's a pity that we only took a few days off. We can only stay in Kyoto for three days at most and learn about the sales of Siheyuan. This short time is definitely not enough to buy a house."

Not only Yue Hongtai felt regretful, but others also felt regretful. For them, buying a house was a big deal, and it was something that could make people highly excited. The most important thing was that the budget was high enough, and it was as high as 20,000 US dollars. Holding such a large sum of money to buy a house, it must be a happy thing!
Except for Yue Wenxuan, everyone else present enjoyed the house-buying process. No one found it troublesome, and no one felt tired.

Unfortunately, time does not permit, so I can only leave such a beautiful task to the children.

Yue Wenxuan's children were all very happy. Today was their first day in the capital. Not only did they reunite with their father whom they hadn't seen for several months, but they were also reunited with Yue Hongan's family whom they hadn't seen for more than ten years. They were all very excited.

They were already very happy, but they didn't expect their father to give them an even bigger surprise. Five thousand dollars of pocket money and a pair of big gold bracelets would be fine, after all, they had had a similar experience before, and although the surprise this time was even bigger, everyone had a certain psychological tolerance and could still accept it.

But my father gave me so much!

In addition to this small token of appreciation, he even promised to buy a house in Kyoto for each of them, with the highest budget reaching an astonishing 20,000 US dollars.

Although they have gradually become accustomed to their old father's generosity and lavish spending, the budget of $20,000 for buying a house has kept them extremely excited. Even when lying in bed, they were still too excited to fall asleep.

After all, Zeng Danling is Yue Wenxuan's wife who lives with him day and night, so she knows him much better than others.

Although she didn't know how much property Yue Wenxuan had in Hong Kong Island, she was sure that it must be an astronomical figure.

With such a large fortune as a backing for the family, Yue Wenxuan allocated some money to the children in advance so that they could adapt in advance. Zeng Danling had no objection to this and also supported it.

Moreover, when her husband distributed his property to his children, he did not leave out her daughter's share. Even though Yue Hongxiu was still far from being able to get married and was only sixteen years old, what she received was no less than what her brothers and sisters who had already started a family received.

Zeng Danling doesn't care much about money. As long as her husband can treat her equally, she will never interfere in household affairs.

Zeng Danling had no complaints about her husband's actions today, but she was a little unhappy.

When she is with her husband, Zeng Danling never hides her feelings in front of him. If she is unhappy, she will of course show it.

Zeng Danling entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed. He sighed first, then said in a self-pitying tone:

"I always thought I was still young before, plus people flattered me, saying I looked like a 30-year-old. I was flattered so much that even though I knew I was already 44, I still couldn't help but feel a little happy.

It was not until today that I realized that these were just illusions. They are all half-buried people. No matter how young they look, some people have seen it for more than ten years, and I am afraid they have seen enough. "

Yue Wenxuan couldn't help laughing.

There is a big age gap between his wife and him. As a man who has lived several lifetimes, Yue Wenxuan has been more tolerant of his wife since they got married.

If it were in modern society, with such a huge age gap, Zeng Danling would probably often act like a spoiled brat to him, or even become arrogant because of her favor.

But Zeng Danling didn't. Maybe it was because of her personality, or maybe it was because of the times and her rough experiences, Zeng Danling has always behaved virtuously and generously since she married him.

Yue Wenxuan rarely sees someone in such a playful mood as today.

Having lived together for nearly twenty years, they knew each other's temperaments and personalities so well that Yue Wenxuan could guess what his wife was thinking just by the tone of her voice.

Yue Wenxuan had just given each of his children a pair of large gold bracelets, except for his wife. Even though Hongxiu's pair of gold bracelets were now in his wife's hands, they were only kept for her temporarily, not something he gave to his wife.

Zeng Danling would even care a little about this matter, so how could Yue Wenxuan not think of it?

Instead of rushing to explain, he opened a drawer, took out two jewelry boxes and stuffed them directly into his wife's hands.

"This is a gift I carefully selected for you at a jewelry store in Hong Kong Island. Do you like it?"

Zeng Danling originally thought that her husband was careless and did not consider her feelings, but she did not expect that he would specially prepare a gift for her, which surprised her a little.

She didn't rush to open it, but complained: "Since you prepared a gift for me a long time ago, and brought it all the way from Hong Kong Island, why didn't you give it to me earlier?"

"If I gave you these two gifts right after we met, I'm afraid you would be scared and you might not accept them.

After so many days of adapting, I think you should be able to accept it."

His wife was not a stingy person, so Yue Wenxuan did not give any further explanation.

"You have a point. With a husband like you who is so bold and generous, even if I am still ignorant, I will become more courageous and have a broader vision as I get along with you day and night."

Zeng Danling untied the red ribbon on the jewelry box and said, "I want to see what's in these two boxes. You're afraid of scaring me. Am I that narrow-minded?"

After finally untying the red silk ribbon, Zeng Danling opened the lid of the box and what came into view was a pair of crystal clear Hetian jade bracelets.

A pair of jade bracelets lay quietly at the bottom of the box, emitting a warm and soft light. The texture of the jade bracelets is pure and flawless, just like the finest mutton fat. It must have been tempered by nature to condense such crystal and translucent.

Zeng Danling gazed at the pair of jade bracelets, feeling inexplicably moved.

She was not an ignorant village woman and had a certain appreciation for jade bracelets. In addition, the texture of this pair of jade bracelets was so good that even an outsider who only knew a little about it could tell that this was a pair of extremely rare and hard-to-find top-grade jade bracelets.

"You are right. I really can't afford a rare mutton-fat jade bracelet like this one."

After a pause, Zeng Danling continued, "It's so precious and so beautiful! I really like it. But I am a government official after all, so I definitely can't wear such precious jade bracelets to work. I can only keep this pair of jade bracelets as a private collection and admire them occasionally at home."

"As long as you like it, it's fine. Wearing it at home can also make you feel good. I think that's enough.

Besides, people’s ideas will not always be so conservative. One day, they will become more open and tolerant. I believe that after I give you this pair of jade bracelets, you will be able to wear them out openly one day.”

Zeng Danling admired them for a long time and then put them on her wrists.

"Is there such a precious gift in the other box?" Zeng Danling asked.

Yue Wenxuan said: "Open it and take a look. What matters is not whether it is valuable or not, but whether you like it or not."

Zeng Danling opened the second box again, and inside the box was a string of sparkling pearl necklaces.

After seeing this necklace, Zeng Danling exclaimed "Ah" and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Yue Wenxuan has lived with his wife for so many years and knows that she particularly likes pearl jewelry, especially pearl necklaces, which are definitely her favorite.

Zeng Danling carefully took out the pearl necklace and admired it carefully under the light.

This pearl necklace was not produced in this space, but came from the collection of the Han family's treasure house.

There are a total of twenty or thirty pearl necklaces in the Han family treasury, and this is the most valuable one that Yue Wenxuan picked out.

This string of seawater pearls are all of average size, with each pearl having a diameter of about 22 millimeters, and each pearl is round and nearly flawless, with almost no flaws. The most important thing is that the glossiness is extremely strong. Under the light, this string of pearls shines brightly, which is extremely rare.

The more Zeng Danling looked at it, the more she liked it. Holding the pearl necklace in her hands, her heart was pounding.

"I know you like pearl necklaces, and I have always wanted to pick the most beautiful pearl necklace in the world for you. This pearl necklace may not be the largest, but it must be the most dazzling in terms of luster. The first time I saw this necklace, I felt that you would definitely like it. Seeing your happy expression, it seems that we are in sync with each other."

As Yue Wenxuan spoke, he picked up the pearl necklace and put it on Zeng Danling himself.

Thanks to the cosmetics supplied by Yue Wenxuan's space, Zeng Danling looks only about 30 years old, and her appearance is still the most beautiful in her life.

Under the light, the snow-white skin is bathed in sparkling pearlescent light; both the beauty and the pearls are most stunning in the world.

The next day, the family had originally planned to climb the Great Wall together, but a visitor suddenly came to the house, and the third son Yue Hongmin had to stay to receive them.

The guest who came to the house was named Ai Liqun, who looked to be about fifty years old. He was once the leader of the third brother Yue Hongmin. Yue Wenxuan had heard about him before and knew about his deeds, but today was the first time they met.

Ai Liqun was originally from Kyoto. His family background was once considered prominent. He had been working in the military, but later retired due to illness and went to Quancheng.

Originally, Yue Hongmin and Ai Liqun had an average relationship. There was not much difference in age between them, but the gap in their ranks was too large. They only occasionally interacted at work and could not be considered close.

Ai Liqun was a very upright person, but it was inevitable that he would offend some people at work. In addition, during the most serious years, his father and brother both got into trouble, so he was not spared and was demoted to the lowest position.

Fortunately, he had a good base among the masses and no major problems were found after several consecutive investigations, so he was not sent to labor camp. Instead, his job was reassigned to become a toilet cleaner.

Ai Liqun fell from the peak to the bottom, but he still had a large family to support and his life was extremely difficult.

Yue Wenxuan didn't know how the third brother got in touch with him. He actually became friends with such a person and helped him a lot over the years.

The third brother occasionally talked to his father about Ai Liqun. Yue Wenxuan knew about Ai Liqun but had never met him.

The third brother opened the door and welcomed Ai Liqun and his wife in.

Ai Liqun put the big bag of nutritional supplements in his hand on the ground, tightly grasped the third brother's hand, and said excitedly:

"Hongmin, why didn't you call me when you came to Kyoto? If I hadn't called you back at that time, I wouldn't have known you were in Kyoto."

"You are well-informed. I was planning to visit your home tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to hear the news first and come over."

Yue Hongmin hadn't seen Ai Liqun for nearly two years, and he was also very excited to see his old friend again.

When guests came to the house, Yue Wenxuan had to chat with them. He stood aside and said to Ai Liqun:
"I've always heard the third brother mention your name over the years, and today we finally meet. Stop standing and talk, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Ai Liqun and his wife sat down opposite Yue Wenxuan, and Ai Liqun said respectfully:
"Uncle Yue, I should have visited you at home a long time ago, but my reputation was not very good in the past few years. I was worried that I would bring you trouble, so I never dared to visit you."

Yue Wenxuan said: "I can understand your situation at that time, it was caused by special circumstances.

Fortunately, everything is over, so I won’t talk about the past. I heard from the third brother that you were transferred to work in Kyoto two years ago. Is your work going well? "

The third brother once mentioned to Ye Wenxuan that his friend Ai Liqun was transferred to the police department, and his position was not low, which was considered a high-ranking position with great power.

When the third brother talked about this incident, he was happy for his friend but also a little envious.

Ai Liqun said: "At the beginning, it was really difficult to carry out the work, but fortunately, there have been great changes in the past two years, and I have gradually gained a firm foothold."

Ai Liqun's wife sat nearby, listening to the conversation while looking at the decoration and furnishings in the living room inconspicuously.

What she saw and heard today surprised her.

She is also full of gratitude to her husband's friend Yue Hongmin. Without Yue Hongmin's help over the years, the couple and their children might not have been able to get through the most difficult years in peace.

During those most difficult years, there were other people who extended a helping hand to the couple, but the help provided by others was limited. Only Yue Hongmin's help to the couple was huge and lasted for several years.
