"That's okay!" Luo Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief.
She said: "If you want to eat something tonight, I'll go out and buy some food."
Xia Zekai didn't care. He turned around and asked Luo Xincheng, who was playing with his two girls: "Xincheng, what do you want to eat tonight? Let your sister buy some."
"Brother-in-law, anything is fine. I ate a lot at lunch and I don't really want to eat at night." Luo Xincheng said.
Xia Zekai ignored his response and said, "Daughter-in-law, please buy some seafood and cook it for dinner tonight."
Luo Xiyun nodded, put on a coat, took her bag and car keys and went out.
…
Xia Yunhui didn't wake up until after seven o'clock in the evening. When he woke up, he still felt a headache, uncomfortable swelling, and his mouth was extremely dry. He just wanted to drink water.
Seeing his son lying on the small table next to him doing homework, he shouted: "Jingrui, bring me some water."
Dong Fei heard the commotion and asked her son to continue doing his homework. She went to pour a glass of water, added some honey to the water, and handed it to Xia Yunhui.
He drank it in two sips, and finally shook his head: "It's really uncomfortable. I'll have to drink less in the future."
Dong Fei pouted: "I don't even remember how many times I've heard this. I'm tired of hearing it. You should do it first and then talk about it."
Xia Yunhui was embarrassed. There was nothing more embarrassing than failing to do what you promised.
Dong Fei didn't hesitate to say to him: "Are you hungry? I'll heat up some food for you?"
At dinner time in the evening, she couldn't wake him up even if she called him, so Dong Fei didn't bother to call him.
Xia Yunhui took a good nap, felt his stomach, and felt a little hungry. He said, "Do you have anything to drink? Forget about eating. I ate too much at lunch, so I won't eat at night."
"I'll bring you a bowl of millet porridge." Dong Fei said, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Before she entered the kitchen, she remembered something and said: "Yunhui, Zekai called you this afternoon. You were deeply asleep at that time and couldn't wake up. Please remember to wait."
Call him back later."
"Is there something urgent about Zekai?" Xia Yunhui wondered, but he still took the phone and turned to the call history page. The first one was the call history of his cousin Xia Zekai.
After dialing it smoothly, Xia Yunhui was also wondering if he had forgotten something at noon today.
His wife Dong Fei placed a bowl of millet porridge dotted with wolfberries in front of him: "Yunhui, drink it while it's hot."
"Well, I called Zekai, but no one answered." Xia Yunhui muttered, bent forward and took a sip of porridge.
Dong Fei said: "He may be having dinner at this time."
"Well, forget it, I'll call you later." Xia Yunhui threw the phone aside, picked up the bowl with both hands, and drank the bowl of porridge in a few mouthfuls.
Before he put the bowl down, his cell phone rang, and he saw that his cousin had come back.
Dong Fei took the bowl and said, "Give me the bowl and answer the phone."
It was such a coincidence that when Xia Yunhui called his cousin just now, Xia Zekai was busy making scallop meat for his daughter. The girl didn't eat much, but the little chubby girl Tongtong kept shouting for more.
Eat, she never feels like she has enough.
"Dad, please dip me in soy sauce." Tongtong shouted. She rarely gets jealous, but she thinks jealousy is too sour.
When the phone rang, he couldn't answer the seafood soup in his hand.
"Second brother, you woke up." Xia Zekai said with a smile on the phone.
Xia Yunhui himself was happy: "Brother, don't mention it. I was so happy at noon today. I drank too much and now I still have a headache."
"Brother, we don't have any outsiders, please drink less next time." Xia Zekai advised him.
Xia Yunhui thought that I also wanted to drink less, but when the wine was poured into the cup, I just wanted to pour it into my stomach. My stomach didn't obey its orders. This was really difficult to do.
"Zekai, I heard from your sister-in-law that you called me this afternoon for something urgent?" Xia Yunhui asked him.
Xia Zekai didn't hide anything and told the whole story.
"Brother, we were talking about houses at noon today. I have a friend who happened to buy a four-bedroom house in the first phase of Ziyu Garden. He used it for investment. I called him this afternoon.
If you want to buy it, he can also sell it. The house is 140 square meters, which is about the same as the market price, but it is several hundred yuan more expensive than the second-phase house in Ziyu Garden." He explained the matter clearly in one breath.
Before he finished speaking, Xia Yunhui turned on the speakerphone, and Dong Fei, who came back from washing dishes, also heard it.
"Brother, do you know what is going on with his house? It should have been handed over. If the real estate certificate is not obtained, can the transfer be done?" Xia Yunhui asked a few key points.
Xia Zekai thought it was normal, and he said 'hmm': "Second brother, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I bought the house in Ziyu Garden. My friend bought it with me at the time, and we paid for the house together.
, but it is purely an investment, and the rough parts have not yet been renovated. If you buy it, complete the renovation directly, and move in before June next year, there will be no problem at all. By then, you can also transfer Jingrui to the municipal primary school, and some parts
Children of family members in government agencies certainly don’t have to worry about the teaching staff, and the teaching quality is better than the current school in Jingrui.”
"You don't need to worry about the real estate certificate. He is a second-hand housing agent and has many ways to handle this matter."
This was his confession, and it also made his cousin relax.
Xia Yunhui understood a little bit and said, "So we are still the same building?"
"Isn't it just that we go up and downstairs when we are close?" Xia Zekai said on the phone. He said: "My house was just renovated at the end of last month. I should buy furniture at the end of this month. When the furniture is finished, I will buy some home appliances.
We’ll move there next spring.”
This time, Xia Yunhui no longer had any doubts. He said, "Zekai, your sister-in-law and I will discuss this first."
"No problem, brother. If you have agreed, call me and I will tell my friend." Xia Zekai told him.
…
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yunhui looked at his wife and asked her, "You heard it, right? What do you think?"
Dong Fei frowned slightly and said, "I remember the price of existing houses over there is 3,677. How much is the second phase of off-plan housing?"
"Three thousand three hundred yuan, which is at least three to four hundred yuan short, but we can move there before June next year." Xia Yunhui specifically emphasized this point.
"Then do you want to buy it or not?" Dong Fei hesitated before such a big event, so she asked Xia Yunhui again.
Xia Yunhui thought about it for about ten minutes. During this period, Dong Fei went to call her parents over. The three of them discussed the matter and waited for Xia Yunhui to make the final decision.
After Xia Yunhui came back to his senses, he said: "Buy it, I must buy it, even if it is more expensive, it will be fine. I think housing prices will continue to rise, but if we wait for the second phase of housing, it will delay Jingrui's schooling."
"Zekai is right. If you think about the children who are from government agencies, you will know that the teachers are definitely better than those in our schools."
If you buy a house off-plan, you only need to go to school there and not live there. The distance in between is not close, and it is too troublesome to pick up and drop off from the east to the west, which is not realistic at all.
Dong Fei's father Dong Guochuan, who is also Xia Yunhui's father-in-law, has a shining shiny head, which makes it look like he has been bald for many years.
He said: "Yunhui, buy it if you think about it. I think your uncle is a real person and he won't lie to you. You can discuss the price with the landlord. If you don't have enough money, your mother and I will
There is still some pension saved, and we will withdraw it for you to use someday."
"Then let me reply to Zekai. Let's meet him first and see the house before we talk." Xia Yunhui said.
Dong Fei also meant the same thing. She said, "When are you going to look at the house? How about I ask for leave and go with you?"
"Let's do it tomorrow. Don't delay. If it's appropriate, it'll be a worry if it's done early." Xia Yunhui had made up his mind.
He has been looking at houses recently, both new and second-hand houses. He has an idea of what they look like, and he has run enough.
After the family discussed it, he then called his cousin and said he would meet with the landlord tomorrow and, if it was suitable, go check out the house.
There is nothing inappropriate about this, Xia Zekai agreed wholeheartedly.
He knew that Yang Tiande had been stationed at Ziyu Garden for a long time.
…
On Monday morning, Luo Xiyun drove her brother Luo Xincheng to work at Qicheng Adeli Co., Ltd.
After Xia Zekai pulled the two girls out of bed who didn't want to get up, he combed and braided their hair, got dressed, and was busy washing and oiling their faces. He was extremely busy.
After feeling completely alive, he took the two of them to the kindergarten.
On the way back, Xia Zekai called his second brother Xia Yunhui and told him that he would drive to Ziyu Garden and wait there.
After stopping his car in front of the Ziyu Garden sales office, Xia Zekai called Yang Tiande, who trotted over not long after.
"Brother Qi, I asked you to make a trip."
"Bullshit, Brother Xia showed me how to make a fortune, what's wrong with running away!" Yang Tiande said with a smile.
No matter when, tens of thousands of dollars is still money, and no one will give you this money for free.
Xia Yunhui and Dong Fei arrived a little late, mainly because it was difficult for Dong Fei to ask for leave. Xia Yunhui finally drove her to the Post Office Building.
After finishing the work, we came to the Purple Jade Garden again.
After the brothers met, Xia Zekai introduced them to each other.
"Seventh brother, this is my second brother."
"Brother, this is Brother Qi, the friend I mentioned. How about we go up and check out the house first, and then you can chat alone." Xia Zekai felt that he had to avoid suspicion.
When the real estate transaction reaches the time when the owner and the buyer meet, he is not a pure intermediary company. He continues to be in the middle and puts the buyer and seller in a dilemma. It is better to step aside and let them negotiate on their own.
