After the beginning of spring, Sanya invited the Hao brothers to help repair the house. Of course, the two brothers stopped working, and it was his son and his apprentice who did the work.
Nowadays, commodity prices have risen much more than before, and labor costs have also increased. The cost of repairing a house is several times higher than before.
Sanya was busy with the clothing store, and he didn't know much about it, so he left it to Wu Zhengqing.
Seeing the money flowing out like water, Wu Zhengqing was heartbroken. It was not easy to make money, but he couldn't help spending it at all. He wanted to save costs, but the design drawings were given by Tian Shao, and Sanya asked him to strictly follow the drawings, so he wanted to save money.
Neither can money.
The renovation of the courtyard house was very troublesome and took three months to complete. After the house was repaired, Sanya and Miaomiao came over to take a look.
When Miaomiao saw that she had her own dance studio and toy room, she was so happy that she immediately started dancing in the dance studio, singing that only mom is good in the world.
After she finished dancing, Wu Zhengqing said jokingly: "Only mom is good, isn't dad bad?"
Miaomiao immediately said that her father was very good, and kissed him on the cheek: "Dad, you and mom have worked hard."
Wu Zhengqing felt sweet in his heart.
The house has been repaired, and the next step is to decorate it. Over the years of selling clothes, Sanya's aesthetics have improved to several levels: "I want to use mahogany for the furniture, what do you think?"
Wu Zhengqing also prefers furniture made of traditional wood, but mahogany is more expensive. He suggested using cheaper wood such as rosewood.
Sanya said with a smile: "After moving this time, if nothing unexpected happens, I will live here for a lifetime. I will use better furniture, after all, it will last for decades!"
"Don't worry about debts. My second brother-in-law's business is better this year than last year. He made more than 600,000 yuan in just half a year. My second sister asked me two days ago if I don't have the money, so I can lend him some more money."
She has already saved more than 300,000 yuan. She just needs to renovate and buy furniture. Erya doesn't need the money urgently, so she hasn't paid it back. It won't be too late after the house is completed. Anyway, the interest will be calculated based on the date and it won't take up any money.
Second sister’s bargain.
Wu Zhengqing knew that Nie Suozhu made a lot of money, but he was very stressed thinking about owing so much debt. Hearing this, he felt a little guilty: "Sanya, I'm sorry, I only have such a small salary, and I am often too busy to take care of it.
Go home. You have to make money and take care of the children. It’s hard work.”
Sanya smiled and said: "You serve the people and protect citizens' property and life safety. I am proud of you."
Wu Zhengqing felt very excited after hearing this.
Sanya made a big deal this time. All the furniture in the house was made of mahogany. In addition, she also spent a lot of money to buy a huanghuali wood table and two chairs.
After Tian Shao found out, he smiled and said, "Why are you suddenly interested in old furniture?"
Sanya said with some emotion: "Sister, I still think the things from our ancestors are good."
At first, she thought that Western-style furniture such as sofas and Simmons were fashionable, and she didn't understand why Tian Shao liked those old furniture. But as she grew older, her mind changed, and she felt that these old things were more beautiful and more durable.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Huanghuali wood and purple sandalwood are very rare now. These things will become more and more valuable in the future. You should keep them well."
Sanya has also bought some antiques over the years and keeps them, knowing that the price of those old items changes every year: "No matter how valuable they are, I will not sell them, I will just keep them for myself."
Tian Shao smiled. She also had the same idea. She could just keep the antiques for herself to appreciate. However, she had an agreement with Tan Yue that after a hundred years, she would leave some for her children and donate the rest.
It cost more than 50,000 yuan to renovate the house, and more than 90,000 yuan to buy furniture and appliances. When Wu Zhengqing settled the accounts, he felt numb. Just such a house cost less than 400,000 yuan.
After seeing it, Sanya felt a sense of accomplishment and had a new idea: "In the past, the house was so crowded that I didn't even dare to ask my parents to come and live at home. Now that the house is spacious, my parents can come and live at any time."
Wu Zhengqing felt that she was overthinking: "My parents are not even willing to go to the eldest sister's place. We are so close to the second sister, and they are even less likely to come and live."
Sanya did not refute his words. Tian Dalin and Li Guihua still had traditional ideas and felt that Erya should be allowed to take care of her in her old age. Of course, in the past, they thought her temperament was unreliable, so they wanted to stay in Sijiu City and let Tian Shao take care of her until she died. But now
, then they must be following Erya and Suozhu.
"I won't come to stay, but I can invite them to come over and eat delicious food. When Siya and the others come back at the end of the year, there will be two tables in the house and it will be lively."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhengqing expressed that when he moved, he wanted to invite his comrades, friends and subordinates with whom he had good relations to come over and acknowledge him.
Sanya said: "Our house is so beautifully decorated, will it have any negative impact if your subordinates see it?"
Wu Zhengqing smiled and said: "Everyone knows that I have a wife who can make money, and they also know that I have changed to a bigger house. It would be bad if I don't invite her. Don't worry, I will definitely hire reliable people."
Not to mention that I asked a lot of people to inquire about the house at the beginning, I just said that during the decoration, I kept going to the new house, and everyone in the house knew about it. As for being talked about, I have become used to it in the past few years. Anyway, I have no money.
She came from the right place and was not afraid.
Seeing that he wasn't worried about being gossiped about, Sanya naturally had no problem with it. The more people who moved to the new home, the more lively it would be, making the house more popular.
After returning home and leaving Miaomiao, Sanya said, "When it's time to move in, shouldn't you tell your parents too?"
After all, it would be their fault not to mention such a big thing as moving.
Wu Zhengqing paused, and followed his original intention to wait until they moved before talking. However, her second sister-in-law had acquaintances in Sijiu City, and it would be another dispute to gossip about her.
The next day, Wu Zhengqing called Wu's mother.
When Wu Mu heard that they were moving, she asked, "Last time I just said they were moving to a bigger house. How big is it?"
Wu Zhengqing said: "It is smaller than my aunt's house. It has been installed now and I will move there by the end of the year."
Thinking that Tian Xiu bought the house and the Tian family were all there, Wu's mother didn't want to go: "Your second sister-in-law is taking Pengpeng back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year this year. Your eldest brother won't be off this year either. I'm going to go with your dad during the New Year."
At your elder brother’s place.”
Wu Zhengqing would have been disappointed before, but now he is relieved. If his mother comes over, his mother-in-law will definitely have something to say.
Wu Zhengqing said with a smile: "It's okay, you go to my eldest brother's place to save the two of you from having to spend the New Year in a deserted way."
Wu Mu hummed and then asked: "Zhengqing, tell me honestly, how much does Tian Xiu earn a year? Your sister-in-law said she earns at least five or six hundred thousand a year."
Wu Zhengqing would patiently explain in the past, but now he doesn't want to waste his time: "Mom, you believe whatever my sister-in-law says, so why don't you borrow money when she asks you to borrow money?"
