Mother Wang rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Of course it's a step back. In the past, we just pursued love and got married when we thought we were compatible. There was no need to worry so much."
"That's true." Father Wang nodded.
Xue Yang and Wang Xiaoxiao both laughed.
Mrs. Wang was not embarrassed and explained: "When we were young, every household's financial situation was similar. Rich families could be considered very wealthy if they had more than one or two hundred yuan. The difference between ordinary families was not big, and they could only get one month's salary."
We had almost the same salary and similar expenses. At that time, we just watched movies and got married as soon as we found each other. We didn’t need to think too much about other things, because everyone’s situation was the same.”
"Yes." Dad Wang remembered the good times of his youth, with a gentle and yearning look on his face: "At that time, the pressure on the younger generation was not as great as it is now. Studying, falling in love, and working were all done step by step."
Mother Wang said warmly: "The income gap is not big. Teachers get a few dozen yuan a month, and comrades workers also get a few dozen yuan. Everyone has a stable income and lives a simple and simple life frugally."
"Don't worry about the house." Dad Wang said: "It was a dormitory at first, then a small house after getting married, and then it was a collective housing. Although our income was not much, the pressure was never great. Then when you were born, at that time
It's a bit more tense, but when you get a few years old, we'll become more relaxed again."
Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but yearn for it: "People were much more honest back then, weren't they?"
"Haha!"
It was the environment that caused them to be overly stressed and had to be cautious about their marriage and the future."
Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but mutter: "Without the help from your family, it would be absolutely embarrassing to rely on the two of us to make money to buy a house in the imperial capital and raise four children!"
"How dare you give birth to four!" Xue Yang smiled bitterly: "Two would be too many!"
Father Wang smiled slightly and whispered: "So, you should thank your elders for leaving such a rich foundation for you, so that you can stand on the shoulders of your predecessors and receive their protection and support."
"Yes!" Mrs. Wang agreed: "If you were just children from ordinary families, I'm afraid things wouldn't go so smoothly."
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded.
Xue Yang smiled and said: "Xiaoxiao and I have no worries about divorce. Anyway, since we started getting together, we never thought about getting divorced in the future."
Wang's father and mother looked at each other and smiled happily.
"Most people who fall in love at a young age stay together to consolidate the beauty of love. You are getting married for love, so you don't think too much about it. However, my little sister is different...she is looking for a partner on a blind date."
"Yes! The blind date is for finding a marriage partner. The situation is different."
Wang Xiaoxiao reminded: "Since you understand the nature of blind date, you have to see it through."
"We have seen through it all." Mother Wang smiled bitterly: "How can we not see through it? Right? Everyone in today's society is so realistic, and my little sister can't do it if she doesn't follow the trend."
"Yeah." Father Wang whispered: "House prices in small counties are too high now. The small house I bought for her the year before last was more than 5,000 yuan per square meter, and it didn't even come with repairs. Xiaoxiao helped her with the savings around her.
Together with our many years of savings, we finally bought the apartment. We have saved money little by little for decoration, and hope to decorate it by the end of this year."
Mother Wang sighed helplessly: "Since we were young, we have always lived frugally. You two are also very worry-free, and we don't need to pay for it. But I didn't expect that our savings for most of our lives are only enough for an adobe house.
The area is not too big, just over 100 square meters."
Dad Wang whispered: "What I mean is don't rush to decorate, because she still has to live with us at home. We will wait until she confirms the marriage relationship and then decide whether to decorate or not."
"What do you mean?" Xue Yang asked, "Maybe I can't live there?"
Dad Wang explained: "She said that the other party also has a house, not far from his work, not far from hers. If the two finally get together, she will move in and live with the other party. Because the husband's apartment is already
It is well decorated and ready to move in at any time.”
"She also said that the apartment her family bought for her will be simply renovated and then rented out." Wang's mother said: "Save some money around. Young people have a lot of expenses, and the expenses of raising children will be even higher in the future.
If you are big, you have to have some extra income, otherwise your standard of living will be lowered."
"Very good!" Xue Yang nodded: "My little sister is very thoughtful in arranging things. You two don't have to worry too much."
Wang Xiaoxiao patted her husband next to her and said: "Dad, Mom, you get your salary every month, we don't have to worry about you. I discussed it with Yangyang. When I bought the house, he was still starting a business, and there were also others around me.
I don’t have much money, so I can only help a little. Now that he is financially well-off, I will also collect the rent for the property in his name in the second half of the year. Suddenly, there is a lot of money around him. The money for the decoration of the new suite will help us
Please help share the burden."
"Yes." Xue Yang said cheerfully: "We've got it all covered."
Wang's father and mother were shocked and stopped in a hurry.
"No, no, no! When we first bought the house, you were able to help us pay for it, which has already reduced our burden a lot. If we want to rent it out, we can simply decorate it, there is no need to make it so fancy. We have been saving for almost two years, so it should be enough.
.”
Wang Xiaoxiao said coquettishly: "What are you doing! Why are you so nervous? Just listen to me first, okay?"
"Okay, you say it, you say it." Mother Wang smiled fondly.
Wang Xiaoxiao analyzed carefully: "If the decoration is better, the rental price can be higher. In addition, we are also making other plans. You have lived in the school's fund-raising housing for more than ten years, and there was almost no decoration at the beginning.
It has become old after so many years of use. Yangyang told me that he hopes that after the new house is renovated, it will be dry for a few months and then you can move in. We will take the opportunity to renovate the fund-raising house and then you can move back."
"No, no, no." Father Wang quickly shook his head: "It's such a waste of money... We live well, so we don't need to move. We have become an old man and an old lady, so we don't need to live in such a good place."
Mother Wang couldn't help but nod her head: "Yes, yes! We are at this age and we don't need to live in such a good environment. The fund-raising housing is very good, so we don't need to waste money."
"Oops!" Wang Xiaoxiao became anxious and scolded: "Old people can only live in old houses? Who said that? Who stipulated it?! How can you think so!"
When Wang's father and mother saw their daughter being angry, they couldn't help laughing.
"No one has a rule, but isn't it the case for most people? It is an unwritten rule of society that the elderly live in old houses."
