Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

After Zhong Meihui's family returned to Lu County, the first thing they did was to go to the new house prepared by Xu Shuimiao in Qingshuiwan Garden to see if there was anything else that needed to be added.

"Building 6, Unit 1, this is the right place." Zhong Meihui and Chu Shoucheng brought a bright red nine-piece bedding set from the capital. This set of bedding is fully embroidered, except for the sheets, quilt cover, and pillowcases. , as well as throw pillows, back pillows and other little bits and pieces, which add up to a long-lasting meaning.

"Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, aren't you coming back tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me the time was changed? I plan to pick you up at the airport tomorrow."

Xu Shuimiao was cleaning the house. The solid wood floor had been waxed twice and was now so bright that figures could be seen.

"You are getting married in three days. Time is precious. How can I bother you to pick us up?" Zhong Meihui walked around the house and felt that the small three-bedroom house was well tidied up, even though it was done by a construction team from a small county town. Yes, but there is a modern ins style everywhere. It seems that this refreshing and clean decoration style was liked by some people many years ago.

The only thing that stands out is that Xu Shuimiao posted a lot of happy words in the room and hung up big red lanterns, which is incompatible with the surrounding Instagram style.

"Everything is done according to Wu Mei's preferences, but I know that she made the decoration of her home so simple to save me money. When I look at the decoration of my friends' homes, they always have a background behind the sofa and TV. The wall looks luxurious and grand.”

Xu Shuimiao felt that Wu Mei was too sensible, and couldn't help but feel distressed. His attitude made Zhong Meihui doubt his aesthetic level. When making videos before, Xu Shuimiao was the most professional. The videos he produced were both in terms of picture structure and plot. Moving forward, the expressions of the characters are all on point, but when it comes to decorating the house, they start to get confused.

"I think it's good to be simple like this. The thick background wall will feel oppressive after being used for a long time, and it is difficult to take care of, which will invisibly add a lot of extra work."

Zhong Meihui asked Xu Shuimiao not to change the decoration here, otherwise he would regret it in the future.

"So that's what it means. It seems that I don't understand life anymore." Xu Shuimiao said that the price of this second-hand rough house is only 20 yuan, with a down payment of 6 yuan, and it will be paid off in 20 years, with monthly repayments of 916 yuan.

He and Wu Mei's salary can fully cope with it, so he plans to pay back the remaining tens of thousands of yuan for decoration to Zhong Meihui first, and pay back the rest slowly later.

"You don't have to rush to give it to me. You just got married and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future. When the furniture is sold, just give it to me from the dividends."

Zhong Meihui felt that Xu Shuimiao was too polite. He and his fifth sister had already received their marriage certificate. Legally speaking, they were already a family. What's more, Xu Shuimiao was her right-hand man, and sharing benefits was a matter of course.

"Tomorrow let's go to the Chu family and see what the fifth sister is missing." Zhong Meihui is very satisfied with the new house decorated by Xu Shuimiao. Those big red words "happy" do seem a bit awkward now, but after the wedding, take off the red lanterns and everything will return to normal. .

"I think the decoration style of this new house is too simple. Look at the living room, there is so much empty space. When relatives and friends come, they will definitely say that there is too little furniture."

Chu Shoucheng was not satisfied with the decoration of his new house. Marriage was all about "full". There must be a lot of furniture and electrical appliances in the living room and bedroom. Even if the quantity is not enough, it must be piled up with other soft furnishings. Now it looks empty. Only then did those red decorations stand out.

"Those things have to be included in your sister's dowry. If you move here now, you won't have less things when you pay for the dowry. What's more, the most important thing is that you like the decoration of the house. You don't have to care about other people's opinions."

Zhong Meihui had already made preparations before. She ordered floor lamps, carpets, cushions, ornaments, and some commonly used small electrical appliances and small furniture online. These things were sent to the Chu family's old house and will be moved tomorrow when the dowry is held. come over.

"It turns out that you and Fifth Sister have already discussed it, which has worried me for a long time." Chu Shoucheng has lived here for many years and knows that many people can't accept this minimalist decoration style. They only associate one word with it: poor. I don’t know how many things will be arranged.

Early the next morning, Chu Shoucheng and Zhong Meihui went to the Chu family's old house. As the bride, the fifth sister was busy, fearing that something was not prepared well.

"Sister-in-law, it's great that you're back. I'm so busy right now that I'm just afraid of doing something wrong." After seeing Zhong Meihui come back, the fifth sister of the Chu family suddenly had a backbone.

The first thing the sister-in-law and sister-in-law did after entering the house was to check the dowry. Zhong Meihui looked at the things on the floor and took out her purchase records to match them one by one.

Only then did Chu Shoucheng realize that Fifth Sister's dowry was much richer than he had imagined, and even the pots and pans for eating had been prepared.

Moreover, the pots and pans prepared by Zhong Meihui are not only functional, but also highly ornamental. These things look like they come from a big place, which makes the fifth sister of the Chu family earn a lot of face.

"There are many things here that were ordered in Shenzhen, from Xiangjiang." Zhong Meihui said that some of the things here were gifts from the sister group. When Qian Qiao and the others went shopping that day, they bought them all for everyone. It arrived just in the past two days.

"These things are really good, and they are an eye-opener for the people in the village when it comes to dowry." Chu Shoucheng was very satisfied after seeing these things. He felt that the things here matched the new house prepared by Xu Shuimiao. After putting them all in, he could Fill in the gaps.

"Fifth sister, do you have any money at the bottom of the box?" Zhong Meihui wanted to know how much the relatives at home had given away. Sure enough, the elder sister-in-law was the lowest, only giving 500 yuan, while the second sister and third sister gave 1000 yuan. In addition, the second elder of the Chu family asked her to take back all the gift money, and the fifth sister also had tens of thousands of dollars in the bottom of the box, which was enough.

"Even if it's enough, there's no need to add icing on the cake. Here are 1 yuan. Just keep it secretly and don't tell anyone else." Zhong Meihui secretly gave 1 yuan to the fifth sister of the Chu family, which was regarded as her private money. Even parents and husbands don’t need to know.

"Sister-in-law, I can't ask for your money anymore. You bought half of the things in this house." Fifth sister refused to accept the money. She knew that Xu Shuimiao had already borrowed 10 yuan from Zhong Meihui, plus this The things for a house cost tens of thousands, and if Zhong Meihui gave her more money, she wouldn't know how to repay her.

"When a girl gets married, she has to rely on herself. Your natal family has many brothers and sisters, which is a good thing, but you can't do everything for you like you did in your natal family. If you have more money, we can rest assured."

Zhong Meihui trusted Xu Shuimiao's character, but even if she followed a man like Chu Shoucheng, she would have a lot of troubles. The five sisters of the Chu family might not have an easy life in the future.
