When Shi Zhijian told Shi Yufeng about buying a house in Causeway Bay, Shi Yufeng was eating.
Because Baoer liked the egg white but not the yolk when eating hard-boiled eggs, Shi Yufeng reluctantly ate the whole egg yolk, and just then Shi Zhijian revealed the matter.
As you can imagine, Shi Yufeng almost choked to death on the egg yolk in her mouth.
Seeing the elder sister's face turning red, Shi Zhijian had to put down his chopsticks and help her pat her back.
"Cough cough cough!" Shi Yufeng bent over and coughed violently. Shi Zhijian brought water over again and asked Shi Yufeng to drink the water, and then swallowed the damn egg yolk.
"You're going to die for talking about this kind of thing while eating!" Shi Yufeng complained to her younger brother.
"The water and electricity here are cut off every three days, so it's not comfortable to live here. Also, the place I'm looking for is in Wan Chai, close to Causeway Bay. It's very close to where Bao'er goes to school. It'll be convenient for you to pick her up when the time comes!"
"Convenience is convenience, but you still have to tell me about such a big thing."
"Didn't I tell you this?"
"What are you talking about? You are trying to kill someone! At least you need to calm down your emotions and tell me tactfully - as you know, I couldn't help but be frightened after being caught by the police once!"
"Sorry, does that scare you now?"
"What do you think? Houses in Wan Chai are very expensive. If they are in Causeway Bay, they will be even more expensive. Where did you get the money?"
"I saved it, okay?"
"Save it? You actually have a small treasury?" Shi Yufeng's eyes lit up. "Come and tell me how much you have saved!"
"Not much!" Shi Zhijian knew that if he told the truth, his sister would confiscate everything.
Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes at the younger man and said, "Dishonest! Where is the house deed? Is there one?"
"Of course." Shi Zhijian hurriedly took out the prepared house deed.
Shi Yufeng took the house deed and looked at it carefully in front of the lamp.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.
"What the hell! Did you buy the whole building?!" Shi Yufeng's eyes widened and his jaw nearly dropped in shock.
“If you buy one floor, they won’t sell it!”
"This...this is the fifth floor?!"
"Yeah, isn't it written on it?"
"How much does it cost?"
"Not much, two hundred thousand!"
"Pfft!" Shi Yufeng fell directly from the chair. If Shi Zhijian hadn't helped her quickly, she might have burped right away.
"Sister, sister, are you okay?" Shi Zhijian hurriedly supported Shi Yufeng and pinched her.
It took a long time for Shi Yufeng to come back to her senses, "Two hundred thousand? Are you lying? How much money do you think you haven't saved? Also, am I dreaming?"
Shi Yufeng pinched her face hard and looked at the house deeds carefully. They were all real and not a dream.
"What the hell is going on?" Shi Yufeng's mind was in a state of confusion. She turned around and grabbed Shi Zhijian: "Ajian, tell the truth and tell me that you didn't do anything harmful to heaven and earth. Our Shi family has been loyal to us for generations.
Never do bad things!"
Shi Zhijian smiled bitterly and said: "Our father is just a shoemaker, how loyal is he?"
"Don't change the subject!"
"did not do!"
"It's better if you don't do it!"
"You believe it?"
"With the house deed, I can't believe it even if I don't want to!" Shi Yufeng cried with joy, "Dear me, do you know that our Ah Jian has become rich and can now afford a tenement building worth 200,000 yuan! It's still in Causeway Bay! It's five floors!
Woohoo!”
Shi Yufeng burst into tears, and then gestured towards Shi Zhijian again.
Shi Zhijian wisely took out the hand-operated shoe sewing machine and placed it on the altar with a serious expression.
Shi Yufeng placed the deed of the house in front of the shoe sewing machine and asked Shi Zhijian to get the incense and candles. Even Jiang Meibao was spared and knelt down to worship her deceased father.
"My dear, this is our new house deed. Please read it carefully first! I will prepare a big room for you when we move. Then we will pay homage day and night. I also ask my father to keep our Shi family safe and sound."
Ah Jian is rich and noble, may Mei Bao succeed in his studies! Amitabha!" Shi Yufeng knelt down and kowtowed very devoutly.
Shi Zhijian kowtowed accordingly.
Jiang Meibao looked confused and turned to ask Shi Zhijian: "Uncle, are we moving? Do we have a big room?"
Shi Zhijian did not dare to speak loudly, so he nodded.
"Okay!" Bao'er jumped up instantly.
…
Shi Yufeng rested her arms on her head and turned her back to the sky. She didn't sleep all night.
All I could think about was that five-story tenement building, imagining moving there and starting a new life.
Now she is still working in a plastic flower factory, but she has figured out that she will not work until the end of the year when she gets a red envelope and a year-end bonus.
After all, I now belong to a wealthy family who owns an entire tenement building. When the time comes, I can just collect rent and act as a housekeeper.
As for my job of washing dishes in the teahouse, I have to quit, but the teahouse business is so busy now, what if I leave and they can't handle it?
At least, I have developed a relationship with the tea house after doing it for so long.
I also thought about the poor neighbors in Shek Kip Mei. Although they were usually noisy and yelled at each other for the bathroom and kitchen, and you stepped on me and I stepped on you, they got used to the noisy and developed feelings for each other. Now they suddenly wanted to move, which made them feel a little bit uncomfortable.
Reluctant to part with it.
Shi Yufeng turned over, and Bao'er was sleeping soundly next to her, with countless long eyelashes.
Shi Yufeng stretched out her hand and patted Bao'er, "As a human being, you must have ideals! Moving to a better place is your biggest ideal all along! Now you can finally move, Shi Yufeng, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
…
the next morning.
In order to move, Shi Zhijian asked Daeshengxiong to drive a truck to load the furniture.
The loudspeaker called three men and rushed all the way to Shek Kip Mei in the smoke.
When the poor neighbors of Shek Kip Mei heard that Shi Yufeng was moving, they all gathered at home to congratulate them.
"Yu Feng, your life is so good, you can move to Wan Chai!"
"Yes, I heard that the rent in Causeway Bay is very expensive!"
In order not to irritate these poor neighbors, Shi Yufeng did not tell her about buying the entire tenement building. She only said that she was moving to Causeway Bay, so everyone thought they were renting a house there.
"A relative of ours lives in Causeway Bay, and the monthly rent is 800 yuan, which is really scary!"
"Yes, there are many rich people there. I heard that some people can buy the first floor!"
Shi Yufeng curled her lips and thought that one floor is nothing. We, Ajian, bought the whole building, which has five floors!
"I also heard that those landlords don't have to do anything all day long, they just play mahjong and collect rent and they get a lot of help!"
Shi Yufeng curled her lips again, thinking, what's the point? Soon I will be that kind of person, are you envious?!
Shi Zhijian saw his elder sister with a rich expression next to him. She was a person who originally liked to show off, but now she was trying hard not to show off. She looked so uncomfortable that she was about to explode. So he stepped forward to save the situation and said: "Don't be idle, everyone. We have some people in our family.
There are many things that cannot be taken away, so just take them if you see what is useful!"
"Well, Ah Jian is still a real person!"
"This hanging salted fish is mine!"
"I want this chopping board!"
"I want this bucket!"
Shi Yufeng didn't expect that her younger brother would be so generous. Just when she was about to stop her, she thought that her identity was different now. She was the future housekeeper and a rich man. Her spare time in the future would be playing mahjong, chatting, and such nonsense.
The salted fish on the wall, the moldy chopping board, and the bucket with a missing gap will all be unnecessary in the future.
What can A Jian say? The new home has everything you need, so you can move in with your bags!
"Everyone, slow down, don't grab! Everyone has a share! Uncle Prawn, no one is grabbing the salted fish from you, don't carry it in your arms! Sister Qinglin, take the chopping board and leave the bucket to Granny Zhu! Liu
Third brother, what are you doing with my wardrobe? I still want that!"
Shi Yufeng put her hands on her hips and stretched out her fingers, commanding the scene like a general.
