Through Thick and Thin

Time flies, this year is approaching the end of the year again.This winter seems to be much colder than usual, with several snowfalls.

It doesn’t snow much in Lu Chuiqing’s hometown, so when it snowed heavily for the first time this year, he happily took a broom to the yard to sweep the snow, but he slipped into the house in less than 10 minutes.

The heating was turned on in the room, and Xiao Zhan took a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa in the living room, wearing only a piece of home clothes.

Seeing Lu Chuiqing shaking the snowflakes on his shoulders on the steps of the gate, and walking in with steam in his hands, he stood up, stuffed the warm coffee cup into Lu Chuiqing's hands, and said, "Don't sweep it anymore. ?”

Lu Chuiqing shook her head: "It's fun...but it's too cold."

Recently, Lu Chuiqing was able to post photos of Guan Xiaoluo's baby in her circle of friends from time to time. The daughter's name was chosen by Xiao Luo, and her name was Yuan Xiaojia.

Xiao Jia is now four months old. She has been raised by their family and is fat and fat. She wears a small bib and thick cotton clothes, and her hands and feet are tightly wrapped.

Lu Chuiqing was looking at Xiaojia's photos in Moments, with the corners of her mouth raised high, when she heard Xiao Zhan sitting on the side saying: "Xiaoqing, I will accompany you home this year."

Lu Chuiqing raised his head in surprise, Xiao Zhan said that he wanted to accompany him home, which meant he wanted to see his parents.He looked at Xiao Zhan, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak for a while.

Xiao Zhan: "If you can't do it this year, you can do it next year."

Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan will be dating for two years in a few months. His parents have long wanted him to arrange a time to meet Xiao Zhan. Take a look at the other party's situation.

Lu Chuiqing: "Is it okay with your family?"

"My mother plans to travel abroad with a few of her friends this year. I just say hello to my father. He won't object."

"Well, you can go back with me, my parents have long wanted to see you." Lu Chuiqing paused, and said a little embarrassedly, "I really want to celebrate the New Year with you too."

I heard from Lu Chuiqing that this year when her son's boyfriend will come to celebrate the New Year together, Mother Lu was overjoyed and asked Lu Chuiqing a lot of things about what Xiao Zhan likes to eat, what he likes to play, whether they plan to travel, etc. Question, Lu Chuiqing repeatedly told her mother that she didn't need to prepare anything, and that the two of them could arrange what they needed when they went back.

Three days ago, the two returned to Lu Chuiqing's house. Mother Lu had been waiting for her son to come back, and opened the door happily. When she looked up, she saw another tall young man standing beside Lu Chuiqing, happily saying "Oh With a sound, he greeted his health with great enthusiasm, and led Xiao Zhan into the room.

Lu Chuiqing was put aside by her mother, with a helpless expression on her face: "Mom, you don't care about me when Xiao Zhan is here..."

"Oh son, do you still need entertainment? Come in quickly."

Xiao Zhan gave Lu Chuiqing's parents a pair of wristwatches and a box of good wine, and there was everywhere the politeness and respect that a junior meeting for the first time should have.

Lu Chuiqing's parents saw it, and finally a big stone fell to the ground in their hearts.Since the time when Zhuangqing and Xiao Zhan have been dating, they have always had a lot of worries in their hearts. They are worried that Zhuangqing will be threatened by someone using his job position, and that he will be played with his feelings——

However, now it seems that they do seem to be overwhelmed.

When the family was having dinner, Lu Chuiqing's parents chatted with Xiao Zhan from time to time. They were both teachers, and their insight was naturally higher than ordinary people. After observing it, Xiao Zhan's words and deeds were really shocking. They are relieved.

In the evening, Xiao Zhan and Lu Chuiqing naturally slept in the same room, but Lu Chuiqing's room was not as spacious as Xiao Zhan's house, and the bed was only a slightly wider single bed.

Lu Chuiqing felt that Xiao Zhan, who was used to the life of rich people, suddenly lowered his standard of living, no matter what, he might not be used to it.

"It's okay, just squeeze a little bit." Xiao Zhan didn't mind, and sat on the edge of the bed, "If you can't sleep, you can sleep in my arms."

Lu Chuiqing was fetching pillows for Xiao Zhan in the closet. Hearing this, she couldn't help but throw the pillow in his arms, blushing and said, "My parents are right next door."

Xiao Zhan took the pillow and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't say what I was going to do."

"...After two years, I will change to a bigger house."

"You can change it now."

As far as the money Lu Chuiqing has saved now, it is more than enough to pay the down payment for a big house and a mortgage.What's more, the futures commission that Xiao Zhan said to give him last time, although Lu Chuiqing only took 100/[-] according to the market price in the end, it was still the after-tax price, and there was a total of more than [-] million.

He replied: "Actually, I mentioned it to my parents before. They said that the two of them live together. It's fine now. Let me buy it after two years. In fact, I am afraid that I will be under pressure to repay the loan after working for two years." .”

Lu Chuiqing paused for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's just right that you're here. I'll try to persuade them in the next few days, and I'll just say that you didn't sleep well when you squeezed together with me at night, so they have to consider changing to a bigger bed. If you have a big bed, you need a big room, and if you have a big room, you need a big house!"

Xiao Zhan especially likes Lu Chuiqing's cute and clever little places from time to time, as if being gently scratched by a kitten's paw.Every time he thinks about it, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise.

Lu Chuiqing took her pajamas and went to the bathroom opposite the bedroom to take a shower. Just as she walked out the door, Mother Lu suddenly came out from the next bedroom, grabbed her son, and walked a few steps to the side.

Lu Chuiqing: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Favourite, your dad and I just checked the price of the pair of watches that Xiao Xiao gave us on the Internet, and your dad and I were frightened, one would cost 7 to 10,000 yuan!" Mother Lu With a terrified expression on his face, "Just buy two watches for [-]+?! This is too expensive!"

Xiao Zhan discussed with Lu Chuiqing when choosing a gift. From Lu Chuiqing's point of view, he certainly didn't agree with Xiao Zhan's behavior of buying the right watch for 10,000+—but there was no way, this is a person like Xiao Zhan At the ordinary consumption level, buying these two watches is like buying two boxes of eggs in the supermarket by Lu Chuiqing. As the saying goes, you can’t use ordinary people’s thinking to think about the thoughts of rich people, because rich people will always have greater insight than ordinary people. .

What Xiao Zhan first set his eyes on was actually the more expensive pair, so expensive that he had to add another zero at the end, but was stopped by Lu Chuiqing immediately, who insisted on subtracting a zero, and even wanted to subtract two zeros.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan also had a heart, Lu Chuiqing agreed to the pair's watch of more than [-] yuan.

Hearing this, Lu Chuiqing said helplessly: "Mom, you and Dad can keep it, this brand of watch can't be bought for tens of thousands, it's already considered cheap. Xiao Zhan is like that, this little money is good for him It’s really nothing to say, if you don’t accept it, you will disappoint him instead.”

After Lu Chuiqing persuaded her for a long time, Lu's mother finally nodded reluctantly, still telling her son to thank Xiao Zhan for his kindness.

Lu Chuiqing smiled and said: "Mom, when I have money in the future, I will buy you any expensive watch you want!"

Lu's mother patted Lu Chuiqing's head: "Okay, why am I wearing such a good watch? You should go take a bath and go to bed early with Xiao Xiao."

That night, Lu Chuiqing still slept with Xiao Zhan, and was half hugged into his arms as he said.

On a winter night, in a small bedroom that is not spacious but very warm, Lu Chuiqing sleeps soundly leaning against Xiao Zhan's arms. The chest on the back dispels the last bit of coldness of the night for him, leaving only endless warmth.

After several days of persuasion by Lu Chuiqing, Xiao Zhan was moved out by the way, and her parents finally relaxed a little bit about buying a house. The house has been settled for a few days.

It seems that Lu Chuiqing has finally finalized a new real estate. This real estate was only launched for sale a month ago. Although the location is not in a downtown area, it has all the shops and transportation facilities that should be available. It is not far from the school where his parents teach. , very suitable for elderly people to live quietly and comfortably, and it has been selling very hot recently.

When Lu Chuiqing showed the information of this real estate to her parents, Lu's mother was quite surprised: "Son, you also like this place? Your cousin's daughter and her husband also bought a wedding house here."

"Cousin's family?" Lu Chuiqing paused for a moment, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face, "Cousin's family...do they still owe us money?"

Speaking of these relatives, Lu’s mother felt a little angry. She was not a relative at first, but she borrowed 6 to [-] yuan before, and she didn’t pay it back for two years. Now she said that her daughter and son-in-law are going to buy a house when they get married. Money is tight and I won't pay it back.

Lu Chuiqing: "Mom, how do you know that they will also buy there?"

"Your cousin's family likes to show off, don't you know? He has long said that he wants to buy the high-level executives there." Lu's mother waved her hand, "Isn't his son-in-law a department manager of some company? It is said that the annual salary is hundreds of thousands When the annual salary is hundreds of thousands to pay back our family's money, I cry poor."

"Mom, it's okay." Lu Chuiqing replied, "I'll buy you and Dad a duplex house. They live in high-rise buildings. You don't usually meet them, but you can still make them envious."

"Why buy a duplex? Waste of money."

"If you want to change it, change it to a bigger one."

Mother Lu thought about it for a while, and then compromised: "Son, if you don't have financial pressure, you can change to a bigger house. When you have a baby in the future, the house will be more spacious."

Lu Chuiqing curled her lips slightly: "Mom, you think so far..."

"Where is it far? I see it is close." Lu's mother smiled and patted Lu Chuiqing's shoulder, "Xiao Xiao's child can accompany you to see us, does it mean that their family agrees? Sure enough, my son is begging People like it."

Lu Chuiqing was a little blushed by her mother's words. Seeing that her son was about to slip away again, Lu's mother stretched out her hand and pulled him back, saying: "Okay, mom is serious with you, you can't afford the money for buying a house this time." Use Xiao Xiao’s. No matter how close you two are, it’s still just a romantic relationship, and it’s fine to give some gifts at ordinary times. As long as there is no joint property after marriage, our family must not use Xiao Xiao’s money for such a big event as buying a house.”

"Mom, I know." Lu Chuiqing replied firmly, "Xiao Zhan knows me well, so he will definitely not mention it."

Lu Chuiqing paused, and deliberately snorted to make her mother happy: "Mom, your son and I are rich now, no worse than my cousin's son-in-law, just buying a house, why do I need Xiao Zhan's help?"

Mother Lu smiled joyfully, and asked, "When are you going to see the house?"

"Just tomorrow, it's okay to stay at home anyway."

Mother Lu: "Tomorrow? I remember your cousin said the other day that their family seems to be planning to pay the money in the next two days. It seems to be tomorrow. Let's not meet them again."

"It's okay if you meet them. They hand it over to them, and we'll see ours."

Early the next morning, Lu Chuiqing's family went to the new real estate to look at the house. As expected, the real estate was selling very well, and the entrance of the sales center was full of cars.

Lu Chuiqing referred to Xiao Zhan's opinion when looking at houses recently, but for people like Xiao Zhan, the first choice for buying a house is to enjoy a house rather than a life-style house, and I really can't give Lu Chuiqing any particularly valuable reference.

Finally, when Xiao Zhan heard that Lu Chuiqing had decided to come and see this real estate, he said: "This real estate and Mixiangshan are both owned by Xilin Real Estate, and they are the same owner."

"Ah? Really?" Mixiangshan is the name of Xiao Zhan's real estate, Lu Chuiqing said in surprise, "I thought the owner of Mixiangshan only made that kind of high-end real estate."

"Do all of them. Their most profitable real estate is actually a mid-range one."

Lu Chuiqing faintly heard some special meaning from Xiao Zhan's words, and tentatively asked: "Do you know that boss?"

"Not knowing."

It's not surprising that they don't know each other. If they really knew each other, Lu Chuiqing would have to sigh again for the closeness of the rich people's circle.

However, before Lu Chuiqing could speak, Xiao Zhan said again: "But I know his daughter."

"Both he and his daughter attended the real estate trust fund forum last time. His daughter is a very powerful person. She is now the CEO of their group. His daughter was also planning for the mid-end real estate market of their group at the beginning." Xiao Zhan She said with a slight smile, "I can ask her and ask her to contact the general manager of the real estate here. She must have an impression of you and should be able to give you a discount."

Sure enough, Lu Chuiqing still couldn't escape the fate of sighing.
