It's really good. If his daughter doesn't like it, he would like to persuade her. If it doesn't make money or increase in value, living there will make you feel calm. It's a good place to live.

It was also someone else who sold the house and his daughter bought it for him. If anyone dared to sell his own house so casually, he would have to scold his descendants for being unfilial!

"Dad, after the house transfer is completed, I plan to renovate it and put it away for a while. I will move in next spring."

Shen Wende nodded, "Don't dress up randomly. It will look ugly if you pretend to look different. Don't dress up in a haphazard manner. The furniture and furnishings are also very particular. Your mother and I have nothing to do anyway, so we will keep an eye on it for you."

Shen Xiaojun was eager to do so and quickly agreed.

The next day, her father went to the bookstore and bought several books about architecture, such as architectural catalogs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, illustrations of the history of ancient architecture, the history of Forbidden City architecture, The Most Beautiful Architecture: The Most Beautiful Architecture, and the beauty of the details of ancient architecture...

There is also a book on furniture: a catalog of palace furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Shen Xiaojun: "..."

Those who don’t know still think you always want to build the Forbidden City?

"Dad, the main thing is to live comfortably. Don't really give me a purely ancient courtyard."

Shen Wende waved his hand, put on his eyes and read.

Two days later, the landlord called and said he was waiting for her at home. Shen Xiaojun took the old couple along as usual, this time driving.

When we arrived at the place, the courtyard door was wide open. I got out of the car and knocked on the door. Within a moment, a gay man in his 40s came out.

"Please come in."

The gay man's surname is Fang, and his name is Fang Jianguo.

The two parties had almost no other opinions. After a few words of conversation, Shen Xiaojun looked at the real estate certificate and saw that there were no problems, so he got in the car and went to the housing management office.

Fang Jiangfeng was very defensive. He did not want to remit money, but wanted to count the cash in person.

Shen Xiaojun had no objection. She remembered that there was a bank near the housing management office.

When she arrived and parked the car, she went to get the money, a black plastic bag, put it in her handbag, hugged it to her chest and quickly entered the door of the housing management office. Her father was next to her, and Duan Xia was holding Yao. Yao was waiting at the door of the housing management office.

After entering, Shen Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief.

After completing the transfer of accounts here, Shen Xiaojun handed over 18 in cash.

Fang Jianguo ordered five times in total in front of the waiter. Duan Xia was afraid that he would order less, so she kept staring at it without blinking.

People in the housing management office are not surprised by this kind of thing. When they see someone counting money here, they just take a look and then go about their own business.

What is this?There is also a person who signs a word here and gives a wad of money over there!

After writing it, hand it over to the clerk, who will then pay the final money. I am afraid that some people will ignore the law and defraud people of their money.

"That's right." Fang Jianguo finally finished counting and wiped the sweat from his head, "Then let's settle the matter."

He took out another set of keys and gave them to Shen Xiaojun, "This is the key to the house. I won't go to that house. Goodbye!"

The money was wrapped in a black plastic bag and kept in his pocket, covered with a leather jacket. Shen Xiaojun watched him enter the bank opposite.

I really miss WeChat payment and mobile banking in the future!

Shaking the key in his hand, "Let's go look at the house!"

Yaoyao clapped his hands happily: "House!"

Duan Xia hugged Yaoyao and shook her head, "We Yaoyao also know that mother bought a house?"

Yaoyao's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and his little hands danced up and down excitedly, "I know!"

"so smart!"

As I was driving back, the phone rang. I opened it with one hand and saw that it was Lin Zhe.

Shen Xiaojun drove carefully and asked Shen Wende sitting next to him to answer the phone.

Just after pressing the answer button, Lin Zhe's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Daughter-in-law, when are you coming to Pengcheng? I miss you so much, why don't I come back once!"

Shen Wende coughed twice and said, "It's me, Xiaojun, driving." This made him feel quite embarrassed.

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly went silent. After a while, Lin Zhe's voice rang, "...it's Dad, how are you doing these days? Are the kids bothering you?"

"No, it's okay."

"That's good, Xiaojun will drive. I'll call you later."

"If you have something urgent, you can tell me now."

"No hurry, no hurry, I'll hang up first."

The other end of the phone beeped twice, and Shen Wende pressed the hang up button, "Hang up, I said I would call you later."

Shen Xiaojun suppressed a smile: "Okay, I'll call you back later and it will be the same."

Today's mobile phone radios are not that good. Lin Zhe's voice was loud and the car was quiet, so he could hear what he said clearly.

Duan Xia also smiled: "When will Lin Zhe come back? He has been there alone for almost three months. Aren't the buildings all built and rented out? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"There's other business to do."

"What business?"

Shen Wende: "Why are you asking so many questions? They have their own things to do, and they have to report everything to you?"

Duan Xia glared at him angrily, "I just asked casually."

Shen Xiaojun smiled and didn't say what Lin Zhe was doing.

Duan Xia changed the subject, "Have you told Lin Zhe about buying this house?"

Shen Xiaojun turned the steering wheel and said, "I'll tell you when we get back later."

"For such a big thing as buying a house, you still have to discuss it with him in advance."

"I forgot about it all of a sudden. I will definitely discuss it with him in the future."

After arriving home, Shen Xiaojun dialed back, "It's me, tell me what happened."

Lin Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, "You just scared me!"

Shen Xiaojun sat on the bed and stretched, "It's really rare to be able to scare you."

"Don't make sarcastic remarks. You clearly know that I'm a little scared of your dad. I just said I missed you, and he just said it was me. I almost died of embarrassment."

Shen Xiaojun held back a smile and asked, "Okay, what's the matter with you?"

Lin Zhe then started to speak seriously, "That guy Huang Fugui wants to withdraw from the group."

Shen Xiaojun frowned, "He said that?"

"I didn't say it, but Lao Zhuang and I both saw that he had that intention. We have always been three people working together because we all had little funds at the beginning. Now that we have made money and have enough money, he If you want to eat a big meal alone, it means that he put in a lot of effort and we took advantage!"

"What did Zhuang Yan say?"

"Lao Zhuang's intention can be partly attributed to him. After all, we two outsiders did benefit from his convenience, but to be honest, apart from the first land that relied on his uncle's influence, the rest were not all Lao Zhuang and me. We drank the wine in sips, and we didn’t even share the gifts equally, most of them were paid by me and Lao Zhuang.”

Shen Xiaojun paused and then said: "Even if we give him the profit, he will still withdraw if he wants to. Then let him do whatever he wants. It's already good that we can take advantage of this wave of dividends. If we are not greedy, we should accept it." If you can stop it now and build those buildings and rent them out, you will already be making a lot of money."

Lin Zhe said nothing and sighed.

"By the way, let me tell you something. I bought another yard, 560 six square meters, on Taiping Street. There are three front rooms in the front. It is not far from where we live now. It only takes 10 minutes to walk for the children to go to school. , that yard is very nice, I plan to renovate it and move to that yard next year.”

Lin Zhe: "...you, you really think about it every time."

Shen Xiaojun rolled his eyes at the phone, "Didn't I just think of it? I thought about it a long time ago. It's been so long. Don't you still believe my vision? Anyway, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."

"Okay, I believe you. It's just a yard. We can afford it. The place we live in is too small anyway. By the way...how much does it cost?"

"18."

"...Daughter-in-law, 18 yuan can buy a floor in our city. After it is opened and decorated, isn't it more comfortable than living in the courtyard?"

"Do you still want to live on the flat floor?"

"What big flat floor?"

"It's the kind you mentioned. One or two households live on one floor, and each household has an area of ​​two to three hundred square meters."

Lin Zhe suddenly became interested, "That's pretty good. It would be comfortable to live in a house like this."

Shen Xiaojun chuckled: "Of course it's comfortable. Large flat floors in first-tier cities are called luxury homes. You can see the sea, the river, or the night view. There is everything in the building, and you don't have to go out for beauty and fitness."

I would never have dreamed of a house like this in my previous life.

"Then let's buy a set too!"

Shen Xiaojun blinked, "Okay, work hard, young man."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhe touched his face. His wife called him a boy?

Does this mean that he is still very young in her mind?

Shen Xiaojun started to arrange the decoration of the house, and the first thing he did was to pry open the buried pipes in the floor tiles.

She and Lin Zhe's room, the rooms of Xiaowei, Xiaoyue and Yaoyao, as well as the two elderly rooms, all had to be equipped with additional bathrooms.

She moved the kitchen and dining room to the outermost one in the east wing, renovated the other two east wing rooms into bedrooms and used them as rooms for the elderly, and reserved two guest rooms upstairs.

The west wing is reserved entirely for the three children, and each of the three siblings has one room.

The entire upper floor was opened up and used as a study, piano room, dance studio, and their activity room.

Because the attic floor was previously paved with solid wood floors, and due to age issues, it creaked when stepped on, so Shen Xiaojun replaced them all, re-reinforced the walls with nails like steel bars, and poured cement on the floor.

When Shen Wende saw it, he said she was messing up.

It's just as messy as it is. What she wants is safety, and it won't be obvious when the wooden floor is laid in the back.

There are three main rooms, with the living room in the middle. The east room is Shen Xiaojun and Lin Zhe's bedroom. She hasn't decided what to use the west room for yet. The same goes for upstairs. She has too many rooms and worries about how to fill them up.

But don’t worry, you’ll find out after living there for a while.

The bathroom in the back room remains unchanged and is used as a guest bathroom, while the other is used as a laundry room.

There was originally a back door in the backyard, just in the west corner of the rear house, but it was blocked later. Shen Xiaojun thought of opening the back door again to use it for vehicles to enter and exit, and prepare a room as a garage, and also reserved a space in the backyard. One parking space can be parked outside, while the other two are vacant and used as warehouses.

The flowers and trees have already been transplanted in the backyard, and her father is left to worry about this. According to him, there are particularities to what flowers and trees are raised at home.

Shen Wende ran to the flower and bird market for several days with his hands behind his back.

Change what needs to be replaced, and paint what needs to be painted.

After buying so many houses, this was the first time Shen Xiaojun really started planning and decorating, and it took a lot of effort.

Fortunately, her father was there to help her, otherwise her legs would have become thinner.

Shen Wende also hired an old craftsman to come back and be responsible for making doors and windows.

According to him, the beauty of the details of the Chinese courtyard lies in the ancient windows, which cannot be careless.

After all, this courtyard is a century-old house, and no matter how exquisite and beautiful the carvings are, they cannot withstand the passage of time. If it is to last, these things must be replaced, and Shen Wende requested a one-to-one restoration.

Anyway, it’s a lot of money to spend.

……

After the beginning of winter, the weather changes day by day. It rains so cold that I want to wrap myself up in a cotton-padded jacket. When the sun comes out, it becomes hot again.

Xiaowei Xiaoyue is growing up very fast, and many of her clothes last year were too short. Either the sleeves were inappropriate or the trousers were so short that they could be used as cropped pants.

Nowadays, children are so concerned about their appearance that they don’t like to wear anything that is slightly shorter, and the corners of their mouths are so turned up that they can hang oil cans.

Her store sells young people's fashionable clothes, which are suitable for her and Lin Zhe, but not for parents and children. After the children are on vacation, Shen Xiaojun frees up a day to take the family out to buy clothes.

Shen Wende didn't want to go yet. He now loved to watch the old carpenter working in the yard on Taiping Street. It was Xiaowei Xiaoyue who pushed him into the car.

"I have clothes to wear, so I can just buy them for a few kids. I really don't like shopping." Shen Wende couldn't help but complain after getting in the car. Master Li was going to put glass in the windows today, and he planned to help.

"You have to buy it if you have it. No one thinks there are too many clothes. The clothes I sell to you every year are all thick clothes such as cotton-padded jackets and sweaters. I have never bought you a coat or sweater that is neither thin nor thick. I don't think my mother has many. "It's been cold these days, so you can wear these two sets interchangeably. You can wear them wherever you go." Shen Xiaojun said while driving.

Shen Wende: "It will be time to wear cotton-padded clothes in less than half a month. Even if you buy them, you won't be able to wear them a few times."

"There's still next year. Don't refuse. When we go shopping later, don't give me something you don't like and something that's too expensive..." Shen Xiaojun kept her parents' mentality in mind.

Duan Xia hugged Yao Yao and laughed from behind, "You don't like it in the first place, but you have to say you like it against your will?"

Shen Xiaojun glanced at her mother in the rearview mirror, "I'm going to buy it anyway. It's best if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll choose it for you myself."

When they arrived at the mall, the family started shopping from the first floor, buying clothes and shoes from top to bottom. After shopping, they went to the commercial street. When Yaoyao lost his temper, Shen Xiaojun put him in the store for her sister to watch.

Shen Xiaohua pulled Shen Xiaojun and said, "I was talking about buying a pair of shoes for my parents. You go and choose. I will pay for them later."

Shen Xiaojun: "I've already bought everything. You can wait until next time."

Duan Xia hasn't seen her for a while, and last time she heard that they wanted to buy a house.

Then he asked: "Didn't you say you want to buy a house? How do you like it?"

"While looking at it, Lao Chen has taken a fancy to a house in a community. It has not been built yet, and the house will not be handed over until the end of next year. People say that the purchase price should be lower now. If you wait, it will be gone and the price will rise. We are still deciding whether to buy it or not. After all, we haven’t bought an off-plan house, so we still feel uneasy.”

Nowadays, most people still buy existing houses. If they want to buy one in the future, they will not buy one, unless it is second-hand. If you want to live in a new house, you almost have to wait. If you wait and wait, it may still be unfinished.
