The Gu family’s engagement banquet was somewhat anticlimactic, and some of the entertainment arrangements originally planned after the banquet were also cancelled.
After Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning left the Binhai Hotel, seeing that they had plenty of time, they decided to go to Junshan Mansion to look at houses.
After all, we have decided to buy a house, but Yu Zhiming, the future owner, has not inspected the house on site, which is a bit excessive.
"Zhi Ming, Third Grandpa and the others left without expressing their opinions. It must be acquiescence, right?"
Yu Zhiming, who was driving, pondered and said: "It should be tacit approval, but it is impossible for your third cousin to get married in the short term, at least in a year or two."
Gu Qingning sighed softly and said: "To put it in an inappropriate way, wouldn't you rather marry a good prostitute than a cheating wife?"
"If the third cousin can really let go of his grudge, and the girl can really change her ways and be single-minded from now on, they may live a happier life."
"Hey, Zhiming, I said if..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted: "Don't ask me such hypothetical questions, it's meaningless."
Gu Qingning pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I won't ask."
After pausing for a moment, she asked curiously: "When you were doing physical examinations on those celebrities at your cousin's club, did you find that many of them were living disorderly lives?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and added: "There are also quite a number of famous ladies who are clean and self-sufficient."
"Even better than you!"
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "When I was in the rebellious stage, I almost went astray."
"Fortunately, my brother is very strict."
"Zhi Ming, you have to thank my big brother properly, otherwise the person in front of you will not be the original and flawless me."
Yu Zhiming glanced at this shameless guy...
More than an hour later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the two drove to the No. 12 building of Junshan Mansion.
Yu Zhiming looked up and observed the exterior of the building, and found that no walls were peeling off, and it looked quite new.
The neighbor's balcony is either sealed or decorated with flowers and plants, so there is no sense of clutter.
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning took the elevator directly to the top floor, entered the unlock code and entered the house.
Openness is Yu Zhiming's first feeling when he walks into the house.
The area of this living room is almost as big as Zijinyuan’s residence, and it is still five to six meters high.
Spacious floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to see the outside scenery.
It feels quite refreshing.
Yu Zhiming followed the jumping green lemon and visited the kitchen, bathroom, elderly room, servant room and guest room.
Then, the two of them went to the second floor through the wooden stairs, and looked at the master bedroom, the second bedroom and the study in turn.
“Very good!”
Yu Zhiming commented with satisfaction, and then said to Qing Ning: "The master bedroom is big enough, it should be able to hold all the things you left at your brother's place, right?"
Gu Qingning said happily: "Of course I can fit it in. I don't have as many things as you think."
"It's just..."
She pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Given the current relationship between you and me, isn't it a little bad for me to live in the master bedroom so grandly?"
Yu Zhiming said oh, and said very considerately: "Since you don't want to, then just stay in the guest room."
"I think the guest room is quite large."
Gu Qingning immediately changed her words and said: "Who said I am not willing? I am willing! No one can snatch the master bedroom from me."
"Whoever dares to snatch her, I will bite her to death!" She also showed her little white teeth in cooperation.
The two of them walked around upstairs and downstairs.
Yu Zhiming also deliberately felt the noise in the second bedroom and living room, and then left.
When the two walked out of the residential building, they saw a familiar figure standing in front of their Mercedes-Benz.
Zhou Mo!
"I saw this car upstairs."
Zhou Mo pointed to Building 8 in front of him and chuckled: "It looks like Dr. Yu's car."
"Remembering that Dr. Yu said you wanted to buy a house here, I came over to take a look. It is really Dr. Yu's car."
She asked again with excitement: "On this building?"
"Do you like it?"
"Decided to buy?"
Gu Qingning took Yu Zhiming's arm and replied first: "It's a duplex on the top floor. I like it very much. When Zhiming saw that I liked it, he decided to buy it."
She extended her warm invitation: "When we move here, we will come over to attend the housewarming party."
"That's for sure." Zhou Mo replied with a smile.
After the two people finished speaking with smiles, Yu Zhiming got the chance to speak.
"Zhou Mo, you didn't go to your mother's studio to help, so your relationship with your mother is still at a stalemate?"
Zhou Mo looked bitter and said: "It's not just a stalemate, it's getting worse."
"My mother asked me to pay the rent, and also share the food expenses, aunt's salary, water and electricity bills, etc."
"If you calculate this, more than half of your monthly salary will be lost."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Didn't I leave you half of your salary? Is it enough for you?"
Zhou Mo said pitifully: "My mother also said that since I have grown up and worked and made money, this means that I should be paid monthly alimony as a sign of filial piety."
"My mother asked for eight thousand!"
"In this case, it won't be enough even if I hand over my entire monthly salary. I have to maintain my own car."
Yu Zhiming said happily: "Your mother is forcing you to submit and apologize, so why not admit your mistake?"
Zhou Mo said firmly: "Let's forget about small conflicts. This is a matter of principle. I absolutely cannot give in."
"Doctor Yu, if you have any errands to do in the future, just let me do it."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said "Okay".
Zhou Mo said happily: "Doctor Yu, Qing Ning, if you have nothing else to do, why don't you stop by my house to have a rest?"
Yu Zhiming declined politely: "I won't go this time. I want to go home and have a good rest to prepare for the next week's work."
Talking about next week's work, Zhou Mo asked: "Dr. Yu, your online registration method has changed dramatically, do you know?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head.
Zhou Mo said: "The original method of quickly grabbing the number has become a lottery. The patient himself needs to submit a selfie and simply fill in the physical symptoms."
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the registration system will randomly select fifty patients from all the patients who submitted their information."
Yu Zhiming explained: "The purpose of changing the registration is to avoid scalpers."
He asked again: "Has the registration fee changed?"
Zhou Mo replied: "Not yet, it's still one hundred and two."
Yu Zhiming said softly, according to the previous plan, his registration fee will not be changed until New Year's Day.
The first thing to change the registration method is to try it out first.
When Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan, he called his mother first, but no one answered.
He called his eldest sister again.
This time, the call was answered quickly.
The eldest sister told him, "Lao Wu, there is a funeral in my hometown, and my parents went back to the village early in the morning."
"Who died?"
"The father of your elementary school classmate Wang Binglei!"
"Isn't that man in his fifties? Disease? Accident?" Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
The eldest sister sighed softly during the call: "That guy is just a drunkard."
"I was drunk last night and somehow fell asleep in the yard. It was freezing cold. When I found out, I was already freezing cold."
Yu Zhiming said oh, and then persuaded: "Sister, tell your parents not to be this red and white director."
"Now we all live in the county town. It's not convenient to go back, and we don't lack the money."
The eldest sister chuckled and said: "Let's let our parents do the work, they can't sit still. During the time when we moved to the county town, our dad also went out for walks all day long, looking for people to play chess and chat with!"
"My mother took out and washed all the bedding at home, saying that she would keep them warm when you come back during the Spring Festival."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "Sister, you might as well learn to drive. Once you learn to drive, it will be convenient if you have something to do with your parents or go back to the village."
The eldest sister refused: "I'm stupid and can't learn. Besides, your second sister's family and your third sister's family are now more active. If my parents and I have anything to do, just give me a phone call."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said with pride: "Sister, you must know, right? I'm going to buy a big house."
"After the Spring Festival, you and your parents can come to Binhai with us. The house is big enough to live in."
Yu Zhiming persuaded again: "Sister, your son, your daughter, and your husband are all in Binhai."
The eldest sister hesitated for a moment on the phone and said, "I can be anywhere, the problem is my parents."
"If my parents insist on staying, I have to stay."
"Although my parents are in good health and don't need to take care of their daily diet, there are always people around them."
"After all, they are all in their sixties."
This is indeed a problem...
Yu Zhiming pondered and said: "Sister, during this time, you should be beating your parents' ears and doing some ideological work to make them want to come to Binhai."
"I can do this."
The eldest sister smiled and said worriedly: "Lao Wu, when you buy a big house, you must do what you can, so as not to suffer too much famine."
"There is someone in the village next door who bought a house in the provincial capital. He lost his job and got sick. He said that the house had been repossessed by the bank."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said: "Sister, don't you trust me? I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
"That's true. You've been sensible since you were a child, which makes people reassuring."
The eldest sister praised him during the call, and then continued: "Lao Wu, talking about the guy in the next village, someone even asked about him, saying he wanted you to see a doctor or something."
"But then there was no sound again."
"What's the specific situation of that person?" Yu Zhiming asked.
The eldest sister said on the phone: "It was because of body pain and general weakness. I had been treated in the provincial capital for several months, but it had no effect, and the family's money was all gone."
"Now I heard that the house is gone!"
The eldest sister said sympathetically: "The sound stopped later, probably because I ran out of money, right?"
"The cost of going to Binhai to see a doctor is definitely much more expensive than in the provincial capital."
"I also heard that the man's wife also took the children back to her parents' home, saying she wanted a divorce."
The eldest sister said angrily: "Today's husband and wife are like birds in the same forest and cannot withstand adversity."
"Lao Wu, let me tell you, in Murakami alone, only two couples got married this year, but only four couples got divorced."
"Today's young people are taking marriage less and less seriously. Lao Wu, don't imitate them."
"Marriage is not a trivial matter..."
Hearing this, Yu Zhi secretly said that it was indeed true.
Nowadays, the eldest sister is just like his parents. If anything happens, he can always bring it to his head and give him a lecture or two.
Qing Ning's little head came over and shouted: "Sister, Zhiming and I will be in love forever."
The eldest sister laughed on the phone and said: "I know, Qing Ning, you are a good girl."
"Qing Ning, if Lao Wu bullies you, just tell me and I will vent your anger and beat him."
Yu Zhiming pushed Qing Ning away.
"Sister, I have nothing else to do. I'm hanging up the phone..."
