Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

In the following days, I contacted my parents, not every day, but at least once or twice every two days, telling them how to decorate the house and about work.

Although Zhang's father and mother never asked the little girl about her relationship, from what she shared about her room decoration and work situation, they at least knew that the little girl was doing well at work.

Zhang's mother knew that Zhang Yu had previously rented a small house for one thousand yuan, but now she had rented a large room, so of course she had to ask about the price.

Zhang Yu: It’s not bad, three thousand, with a separate bathroom and a large balcony.

Zhang's mother knew that the prices in S City were not comparable to those in small cities, but when she found out that a room cost three thousand, she gasped.

Zhang's mother thinks that her pension is not high, but not low either, just over 3,000. As a result, her pension is the price for Zhang Yu to rent a house in S City.

Zhang's father was listening nearby and heard his daughter say on the phone that the rent was three thousand yuan a month, which made her very happy.

He just felt that as an experienced father, he couldn't let his daughter think he was making a fuss.

However, he did not participate in the subsequent conversation between the mother and daughter, but sat quietly on the sofa, thinking about his own things.

Zhang Yu: I can rent a house that is closer, but the commute time is long and the monthly commuting fee is expensive. Now I just walk every month, and occasionally when the weather is good, I ride a bicycle.

Zhang Yu: And I had just received a bonus, not much, just five thousand, but I was a newcomer at that time.

Zhang Yu didn't want her parents to know about the stupid things she had done, so she said that she was a newcomer at that time and her share of the bonus was a bit small.

Zhang’s mother: It’s good to have a bonus. Your current income is higher than many people.

Zhang's mother thought about Zhang Yu's income. The income was high, but the expenses were also high. It could not be measured by the consumption level of a second-tier city.

Zhang Yu: I won 50,000 yuan in the lottery a few days ago. Are you surprised? Are you happy?

Although they are an only child, Zhang Yu never thought of telling them about winning the lottery. It’s not that she didn’t want to tell them, but they would tell their relatives at home.

From the original owner's memory, these relatives actually did not live badly, but they could not help but frequently mess around with the house, and every time they bought a house they had to borrow money from the original owner's parents.

As soon as everyone knew that she had won a jackpot of 20 million, all her relatives would come forward and ask to borrow money.

Zhang's mother never thought that her daughter would buy lottery tickets, and what she didn't expect was that she actually won the 50,000 yuan jackpot. This made her very happy: Not bad, better than your dad. Your dad has bought lottery tickets for so many years but has never won a prize.

When Zhang's father heard Zhang Yu say that she had won a prize of 50,000 yuan, he was so excited that he wanted to grab the microphone and have a good talk with his daughter, but Zhang's mother didn't give him a chance.

Zhang's mother: Even if you win the lottery, you can't spend it lavishly.

Zhang Yu knew that his parents were used to saving money: It’s okay, if I complete the task this time, the bonus will definitely be a lot, at least tens of thousands.

Before Zhang's mother Jin exclaimed: Mom and Dad, I want to work hard for another year or two, and then I can buy a house in S City with the down payment.

When Zhang's mother heard that Zhang Yu was planning to buy a house, she habitually said: There is no rush. You are a girl. When you get married, the man will prepare it. At worst, you can buy it together with him.

Hearing the expected answer, Zhang Yu was a little helpless: Mom, this doesn’t exist now. If my income is enough, I want to buy a house of my own.

Zhang Yu: Even if I get married and the man buys a house, it will be his house. If we have a fight after marriage and he tells me to get out, where can I go?

Zhang Yu: It was the middle of the night, and I had to stay in a hotel with my luggage. But if I had a house, when he said that, I would immediately take my luggage and go back to my own house.

Zhang Yu: And when you and dad come to S City to visit me in the future, you will have a place to stay. You can stay as long as you want. Don’t worry about my in-laws’ faces.

Zhang Yu: Besides, I have to pay rent for a house in S City. Instead of paying the rent to the landlord, I might as well save the money to buy a house.

Finally, Zhang Yu said simply: Look, your uncles, aunts, and uncles and aunts all own more than one house, but our house was allocated by my father's unit.

Zhang Yu: Of course the location is good, the school district is good, and there are good hospitals nearby, but it’s also an old house. Our family hasn’t bought a house, but we haven’t saved much money. My uncles and his family borrowed money from us to buy a house. Have they paid it back?

Thinking of the behavior of her husband's family and her own family, Zhang's mother couldn't help but say embarrassedly: It's not that our family hasn't encountered any problems.

Soft-hearted, that's right. Only soft-hearted parents can give birth to a soft-hearted daughter. Forget it, their personalities have been determined. No matter how you try to correct them, it will be useless.

Zhang Yu: Yes, if something happens at home, we will pay you back. Mom, I want to buy a house.

Zhang Yu: When I get married, you can come to S City and you will have a place to live.

Zhang Yu: My uncle and his family have owed money for so many years, it’s time for them to pay it back. Our family has also run into trouble.

Zhang's mother nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to your uncle and the others about it."

Zhang Yu knew that it was impossible to get the money back relying on just the two of them, and she didn't have any expectations. She just wanted them to know that it would be difficult to get the money back that they had lent out.

Zhang Yu originally wanted to spend money to buy new home appliances for his family, as the existing appliances at home were already very old.

But now, she has made up her mind that the home appliances still need to be replaced, but she cannot use her own money, so she has to use her parents' money.

This is to save them from having some money in their hands and finding all kinds of reasons to borrow money from their relatives.

After talking to Zhang Yu for a while, Zhang's mother hung up the phone and told Zhang's father about her plan to buy a house in S City.

Since Zhang Yu started working in S City, Zhang's father has been following the news there and knows the housing prices there. "Xiao Yu is planning to buy a house in S City?"

Zhang's mother nodded, "Yes, Xiaoyu said that the housing prices in S City are expensive, and the rent will become more and more expensive."

Father Zhang nodded, "Yes, if Xiaoyu doesn't plan to get married in the next few years, it would be more appropriate to buy a house."

Zhang's mother was still thinking about how to discuss this with Zhang's father, but she didn't expect that he would agree to buy a house. "But the houses in S City are very expensive."

"The development in S City is better than here. Xiaoyu will not come back. She will get married in S City in the future."

"It's better for her to buy a house now, otherwise she will have to pay rent to the landlord." Zhang's father is now worried about "whether the mortgage will be stressful."

"If I take out a loan, how much money do I have to pay to the bank?" Zhang's mother remembered that a colleague at work bought a wedding house for her son and said that the interest was higher than the principal.

"Do you think we can pay the money all at once?" Zhang's father pinched his nose. "It's easy for us to lend money, but it's difficult to get the money back."

Mother Zhang sighed softly, "Yes."

It’s easy to lend money, but it’s not easy to ask for it back. “They will definitely tell girls that it’s better to wait until they get married before buying a house.”

"They said they were short of money and so on." Zhang's mother could guess what they were thinking now.

Yes, Zhang's father sighed helplessly, "No matter what, we still want money."

"Also, no matter who asks for money in the future, you can't lend it to them." Zhang's father didn't think they could get the money back, so all they could do now was not to lend money to them.
