Rebirth: I Have a Spiritual Spring

Chapter 73 Make a decision and visit relatives

"What I mean is that since you want to buy, try to buy something bigger. There is only one room difference between a 100 square meter suite and a 120 square meter suite. Instead of buying a 100 square meter suite, it is better to buy a 120 square meter suite. There are four people in our family. , it is best to buy a 150 square meter apartment with four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen, with a large balcony, which costs more than 200,000 yuan more than a 100 square meter suite. This way the house will be more spacious and comfortable to live in. .

Although our current savings are not enough, when buying a house now, we have to pay a deposit first, and then pay the balance after the house is handed over. According to my parents’ monthly income of about 120,000, we can collect the money almost four months ago. The remaining ones are used for decoration. Pay slowly. What do you think? Anyway, our family has nothing else to urgently use money for now. The house bought is a fixed asset. Wasn’t mom worried about renting out the old house? If you move to a new home and rent it out, you don't have to worry about it. You can earn hundreds, thousands more every month! "

Zhang Wanwan looked at Zhang's mother and Zhang's father expectantly. Seeing that they were thoughtful, she continued to persuade: "Mom and Dad, think about it, we buy a house to live in. Now buying a house is almost like living there for a lifetime." Okay, haven’t you lived in a small house enough?”

This sentence made Zhang's mother excited and said: "Okay! People are fighting for their breath. If you want to buy, buy the big one. Listen to the girl! Why don't you just work harder to make money! Your mother can still work for twenty years!"

"Pfft!" Zhang Boyan squirted out his drink without warning, and looked helplessly at his father, "Dad, you don't care about my mother?"

"What do you care? As long as they are happy!" Zhang's father said with infinite indulgence. Thinking that he would buy a house in a few months, his heart became hot and his waist straightened a lot.

Since his parents have no objections, Zhang Boyan will have no objections.

Father Zhang thought that buying a house is a family matter, and Zhang Boyan and Zhang Wanwan will be busy again after school starts, especially Zhang Boyan, who will take the college entrance examination in June, and they cannot be distracted. Therefore, Father Zhang decided to take advantage of the Chinese New Year these few days when the whole family is together. If you have time, go to various communities in the city center. Even if you can't look at houses, you can still get to know the environment of the community, and you will have a good idea.

On the second day of the second lunar month, Zhang's mother got up and got busy before dawn. First, she cooked brown sugar noodles to worship the Kitchen God, and then cooked chicken soup and vermicelli for Zhang Wanwan and the others. Before 6:30, Zhang Wanwan was picked up and washed by her for no other reason. Today, Zhang’s mother will take the whole family back to her parents’ home to pay New Year’s greetings.

In previous years, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother owed a lot of money to their relatives. When I went to visit relatives, I always felt that I couldn't hold my head high, and I didn't have the confidence to speak. If I didn't have any money in my pocket, I would have to slap my face to make myself fat. In addition to red envelopes, I would try to buy as much as possible for the children. Some expensive food just to stop the mouths of the sisters-in-law. Later, the money was cleared, but the house was empty. Every time after visiting relatives, Mrs. Zhang would sigh for several days. Zhang Wanwan didn't understand it before, but she was reborn. All understood.

Mother Zhang is so interested in returning to her parents' home today because their life is better and they can finally feel proud in front of their relatives. If Zhang Wanwan guessed correctly, Mother Zhang should have prepared several big red envelopes.

Sure enough, just after she changed into new clothes, Zhang's mother came in with several red envelopes. Each red envelope contained a hundred-dollar bill. In 2007, a red envelope given by relatives in the countryside was only 80 yuan at most. It is impossible to get the kind of treatment that only a nephew-uncle relationship can provide. Zhang Mu's move will definitely scare a group of people. Zhang Wanwan can already foresee the shocked faces of those relatives.

When Zhang Wanwan was sitting at the dining table, Zhang's father and Zhang Boyan also walked out of the room one after another. A grown man is not as particular as a woman, so he can just give him some instructions. Before Zhang Wanwan finished his bowl of vermicelli, Zhang Boyan had already stood up and put on his shoes, which made her Also anxious.

It was only 7:20 when the family went out.

In the second year of junior high school, there were not many people outside, most of them were moving vehicles. Father Zhang was very excited when he saw those cars, and grinned: "When I get rich, I will buy a car for fun."

"Bang! The house thing hasn't even happened yet and I'm thinking about getting a car. It's true that a man can't do anything with his words!" Zhang's mother scolded her unceremoniously.

Zhang's father didn't say anything back, but still stared straight at the cars passing by. Zhang Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Dad, if you really like it, we can buy it in two years. We bought a house this year. If it's a short time, If you buy a car within the next few years, others will be jealous, so it’s better to consider it after a while.” “Yeah, yeah,” Zhang’s father said. Nodding, he sighed: "I didn't dare to think about cars before, but now that's all, if you really want to buy a car, you have to wait until your brother graduates from college. We don't have much use now, so if you buy one, put it away." It’s not cost-effective to keep it at home! And I don’t have a driver’s license, so if I really want to buy a car, I have to take a driver’s license test.”

Speaking of the driver's license, Zhang's father looked at Zhang Boyan and said seriously: "After you finish the college entrance examination, go and get your driver's license for me so that you are prepared. When you come back from college, there will be people at home who can drive. Only then will you be able to buy a car!"

Zhang Baiyan was helpless, "Dad, this will all happen later."

Zhang's father wished that someone in his family could drive now. After Zhang Baiyan said this, he said Zhang Wanwan. Zhang Wanwan was really speechless. She was only a freshman in high school and it would be two years until she finished the college entrance examination!

Zhang's mother saw that Zhang's father was getting more and more outrageous, so she told him to shut up. Just as the bus was coming, the family took the bus to the long-distance bus station to transfer to the shuttle bus.

Zhang's mother's natal family is also in Qingpu, in the same place as Zhang's father, but they are in the county town of Qingpu rather than in the countryside below the county town. There is no need to transfer to the motorcycle after the shuttle bus arrives.

The shuttle bus to and from the county is open all year round. It is scheduled from morning to night, so you can take it anytime you want.

When the family got on the bus, the ticket inspector stood at the door and shouted, "Qingpu Qingpu, go to Qingpu~"

After waiting for about ten minutes, the ticket inspector said to the driver: "Let's go, let's go, I won't take it anymore!"

As soon as the car moved, Zhang Wanwan immediately leaned against Zhang's father, found a comfortable position, and slowly closed her eyes. Soon, the familiar feeling came, and the whole car shook violently, and the person also trembled.

Zhang's father hadn't been back to Qingpu for a long time. He supported Zhang Wanwan with one hand and grabbed the handlebar with the other, complaining: "Is this a highway? Dirt roads are not so bumpy!"

Others laughed and said, "Come, you'll get used to it. We come here every day. This road has been almost destroyed by large trucks. The master has tried his best to pick the best ones and leave!"

Father Zhang became even more depressed when he heard this. The idea of ​​buying a car was wiped out at this moment. If his car often travels on such roads, I'm afraid it will be scrapped in less than two years, right?

Amidst everyone talking and laughing, the bus stopped bumping unconsciously. Zhang Baiyan, who had been lying on his stomach, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window. He pushed Zhang Wanwan on the side and said, "Little sister, we are almost there."
