Xue Ling was very grateful for her elders' thoughtfulness and consideration, and replied with a smile: "Dad, Mom, if I want to buy it, I have to buy it for you. We are a family."
Liu Ying couldn't help but be curious, glanced at her wife, and then asked: "Ling, do you really want to buy a house in the city?"
"Yes." Xue Ling replied: "That place is close to here, only a ten-minute walk away. I plan to simply decorate it, and we will move in in a few months. Parents, you also have a set, and I will let you pick it up when the time comes.
Live, you can live wherever you want."
Liu Ying was so excited that she shed tears and whispered: "But... it should cost a lot of money, right?"
"Don't worry." Cheng Tianyuan interrupted in a warm voice: "Lingling has her own arrangements."
Cheng Muhai had great trust in Xue Ling's abilities and said with a smile: "Then it's up to you. Just take as big a step as you can, just don't force it."
Liu Ying was no more far-sighted than her husband, and muttered in a low voice: "In my opinion, we need to save some money. It's too hard to make money, so we can't just buy a house. Don't you want to buy land in our village? We don't even farm.
Now, you are going to buy land instead. The land is so wide, why do you still want to buy a house..."
In her opinion, although her daughter-in-law is great at making money, she is also great at spending money!
The car cost more than 30,000 yuan. She had never seen so much money in her life.
Not long ago, I told the village chief that I wanted to buy 200 acres of land. It should be a piece of land that can be used to build a house. It doesn't matter whether it is fertile or not.
If a house is built on two hundred acres, how much wider the land will be! You have to buy here and there, and one person only sleeps in such a small room - why waste money!
"Haha!" Ahu said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry! My sister-in-law is already rich!"
Everyone laughed!
Liu Ying muttered: "You can't spend money recklessly even if you have money! Ling Ling has a hard time making money, so I have to tell her to spend less and save money for personal use."
Cheng Tianyuan was about to speak again - Xue Ling poked him lightly and said with a smile: "Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I won't spend money recklessly after I buy a house."
Seeing that she listened to him, Liu Ying smiled with dignity.
"Lingling is the most well-behaved... Tiger mother, our Lingling has been very well-behaved since she was a child. She has been like this since she was a child."
Ahu's mother nodded and stared at her son.
"See?! You have to find a good wife like Lingling in the future! Look! Listen to the old people! As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old people, you will suffer the consequences. Young people who can listen to the old people are good people.
!”
Ahu nodded hastily: "I know, I know."
Chen Min ate half of his meal when he suddenly remembered something and smiled.
"I have good news for everyone."
Everyone raised their heads one after another and looked at him.
Chen Min whispered: "I... Our family, Axiang, has a partner. She will be hiring someone next month, and she will get married before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Really!? Good news!"
"Congratulations! Why haven't you heard of it before?"
Chen Lan answered with a smile: "My future brother-in-law is my eldest sister's colleague. They both work in the same factory. When my eldest sister first entered the factory, she didn't know anything. That man was very diligent and kind, and he taught her a lot. The two of them taught her a lot."
Just like that, we got closer and closer, and we came together."
"How wonderful!" Ah Hu's mother wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled happily.
Ahu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I will give my cousin a big red envelope then!"
"We also want to wrap up a big red envelope." Xue Ling said.
…
It's night, and the breeze on the riverside is a bit strong.
Some factories in the development zone have night shifts, but most do not. Workers go out to buy things and take a walk at night, and business at night is occasionally better than during the day.
By the time all the customers were gone, it was already past twelve o'clock when the restaurant closed.
Chen Min yawned loudly and closed the window.
"Brother Hu, it's a little late. You don't have to ship the goods tomorrow anyway, so why not just stay and sleep."
Ahu sat in the corner blowing smoke rings and replied: "Anything is fine!"
Cheng Tianyuan cleaned the outside of the store and walked in.
Ahu suddenly stood up and shouted: "Brothers! Let's go to the riverside and have a few drinks!"
Cheng Tianyuan and Chen Min both laughed.
"Okay, but only beer."
The store now sells five or six cases of beer every day, and there are more than 20 cases stacked on the second floor and in the warehouse. There is no shortage of beer at all.
Chen Min took some peanuts and cashew nuts, while Cheng Tianyuan took three cans of beer, and the three of them walked out of the store in a row.
The river breeze is strong at night, and it feels very comfortable when blowing on my body.
Ahu was drinking beer, looking at the beautiful river scenery, and humming a simple folk song intermittently.
Cheng Tianyuan twisted up the beer bottle and knocked on his.
"drink!"
Ahu laughed, took a big gulp, said "Ah!" happily, and continued humming.
Chen Min was eating peanuts and curiously asked: "Brother, you seem to hum this tune often? Where is it? It sounds like a folk song."
"It's a folk song." Ahu took a long breath, then looked sad, and the smile on his face froze.
Cheng Tianyuan and Chen Min looked at each other and felt that Ahu had something on his mind.
"What's wrong? Could it be related to...Axiang's getting married?"
Ahu smiled and whispered: "My cousin finally has a good family, which is a good thing. I'm happy for her. My...my...good family has already married."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows.
It turns out that Ah Hu actually has a sweetheart! No wonder he always refuses when other people propose marriage to him.
Chen Min licked his mouth and whispered: "Brother, you have been back for so many years, why are you still thinking about it? I thought you had given up long ago! Over the years, my aunt has been dating you every three days, but you always
She is just making excuses. She only has a son like you, so you can't keep dragging her out like this!"
Ahu let out a long sigh and looked at the hazy crescent moon in the sky.
"I have stopped thinking about it for a long time... I have to let it go if I can't let it go. I also think I have to get married, but I don't know who to marry! If you ask me to have a blind marriage, then I would rather be alone for the rest of my life. At least.
We need to be able to see each other and be able to chat, right?"
He looked at Cheng Tianyuan and said with a smile: "Don't expect to be as loving as A Yuan and his wife, but you have to be able to talk and get along."
Chen Min glared at him and said angrily: "If you don't take the initiative to date, how do you know who will get along with you! Isn't this an excuse?!"
Ahu blew the beer bottle and nodded slowly.
"It makes sense. I have a shadow in my heart, so I'm afraid!"
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "This girl betrayed you? Right?"
"Not really." Ahu replied in a deep voice: "She thought I was dead... so she married a young man from the same village. The next year I went across the mountains and ridges to find her, but it was too late... it was too late."
Chen Min whispered: "Brother Hu once went to Qinghai when he was running long distances. He met a good girl there and fell in love with him. He was about to propose marriage to her family, but he was sent out to drive a sports car at the last minute.
.The car overturned in a valley, and he was crushed in the cab. He was washed away by the river as soon as he got out. The car friends couldn't find him and thought he was dead."
