It was almost noon, but Cheng Tianyuan still didn't call.
The weather in June was unbearably hot, so Xue Ling couldn't go out to look for him, so she simply stayed at the newspaper office for lunch.
The aunt in the kitchen said with a smile: "I bought too much vegetables and meat today. Fortunately, Xiao Xue came back, otherwise there might be a lot left."
Xue Ling stuffed a big orange for her.
"Thank you, auntie, the food you cooked is delicious, I still miss it all the time!"
The old aunt happily took it and said: "You are pregnant with the child, so you need to eat more!"
The weather is hot and there is a big fan in the office. Everyone gathers under the fan to eat.
While everyone was eating, they were discussing the matter of "Wangjiang Garden".
"Yesterday I showed Xiao Xue's little flyer to two of my neighbors. They were very excited and asked me questions. They all wanted to buy one of the sets."
"My useless son is almost 20 years old, and my wife has been planning to buy a nice apartment in recent years so that he can find a wife for him in the future. She looked at the list I brought and said that the air on the riverside is nice.
Okay, there is still an elevator, and I said I must go and have a look next week. I guess I will have to take half a day off then."
"How big do you and your wife plan to sell it?" Liu Xing asked.
"It should be at least 100 square meters! Two bedrooms, one living room, and other things should not be too small. The young couple will have children in the future. If it is too small, it will be too crowded in the future. We are people who have been there and understand the helplessness of small houses. Can
It’s worth fighting for a little more for your children.”
Liu Xing smiled bitterly: "You and aunt have high wages, so it will be no problem to buy a bigger one. But I am different..."
After Wang Qing heard this, he picked up his rice and couldn't eat much.
Xue Ling was pregnant with a child, and her appetite was much greater than before. She ate two chicken drumsticks one bite after another.
She was full, and after resting for a while, she took out two large oranges and broke them open.
"Everyone, let's have some fruit after dinner."
Everyone continued chatting and asked her if she also wanted to buy a house.
"You and your lover both work here, and now you are about to have a child. You can't keep renting an apartment. If there is a good real estate, settle down quickly. People are like birds, they all need a nest."
"Yes!" Xue Ling explained with a smile: "I have decided to buy two apartments, one to live in myself and one for my parents-in-law to live in. We want to buy the apartment opposite, which is right after the elevator, at the stairwell, and we happen to be the only two apartments.
.This makes it easier to take care of the elderly. You can hear them when you shout, which is very convenient."
"Wow!" Liu Xing exclaimed: "Two sets?! How big do you want to buy?"
Xue Ling replied: "They are all big sets, both are 200 square meters."
"Oh my god! How much does that cost? More than 10,000!"
"Xiao Xue, your lover makes so much money by opening a store? Hasn't it only been half a year?"
"Xiao Xue must have made a lot of money selling clothes, right?"
Xue Ling laughed, hehehe, not daring to tell the truth.
You only said two things, and everyone got this expression. If you said thirty things, you would be scared to death!
Because Boss Liao was willing to reduce the price, the twenty sets were only over 60,000 yuan, which was more than 10,000 yuan less than she estimated. She planned to raise an extra 10,000 yuan to buy ten more sets.
"My wife's business is pretty good. I sold clothes last two times and made a small profit, so I plan to take the opportunity to buy two sets."
Director Liu clicked his tongue twice and muttered: "No wonder you want to go into business, you can make a lot of money!"
"Hahaha..." Xue Ling said: "Doing business is risky and tiring. It's not like you can make money by sitting in an office, using your brain and writing."
Director Liu snorted softly: "Although money is all money, there is a difference between big money and small money!"
Deputy Director Zhen heard that Xue Ling's family wanted to buy two large houses at once, and was secretly envious.
Wang Qing is the same. Thinking that we are all colleagues, Xue Ling and his wife can buy a big house in one go, and there are two houses. However, his lover cannot even buy a small house, and half of the money is borrowed.
It's better not to compare. Such a comparison made her feel mixed and uncomfortable.
Feeling sad, aggrieved and helpless, I quietly hid in a deserted corner and sobbed softly.
After a while, Xue Ling came over with Liu Xing.
Liu Xing was shocked when he saw her crying!
"What's wrong? Are you suffering from heatstroke? What's wrong with you?"
He quickly took out the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
Wang Qing pulled him over, wiping his tears and refusing to answer him.
Liu Xing cared about her as anxiously as an ant on a hot pot.
"Why are you crying? Just tell me!"
Xue Ling held him down, motioned him to sit down, and whispered to him Wang Qing's mother's decision.
"Auntie hopes that you can spend more money to buy one more room, just buy one of the apartments."
Liu Xing's face turned pale, his lips moved twice, and he leaned against the wall in a dejected manner.
"I...an extra room costs 600 yuan. I have already borrowed 1,000 yuan from Xue Ling, and it will take more than half a year to change it. If I borrow it again, how long will it take for me to pay it back? Moreover, we are not getting married.
Money is needed. Money is needed everywhere. No matter how frugal I am, I can only save about 150 yuan a month at most..."
Wang Qing is weak by nature, and when he heard what he said, he burst into tears.
Liu Xing closed his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be at a loss.
Both of them were quiet, no one spoke.
Xue Ling looked worried and couldn't help but stepped forward: "Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way -"
Liu Xing's eyes were dull and he murmured: "What can I do? If my parents help me borrow money from relatives and friends, I can barely scrape together an extra six hundred yuan. I already have the money to buy a house, how can we still have money to get married? How can we still pay for it?
Do you have money to live on?”
Xue Ling sighed and explained his thoughts to them carefully.
"Earn slowly, pay back slowly. I have an idea, please listen to it. Liu Xing buys a set from me. I agree that you should pay a thousand yuan first, and use the rest to get married and live a good life. Then you
You and Wang Qing can make money slowly, and you can pay me back a hundred yuan a month, and you can pay it back in less than two years, so what are you afraid of?"
Liu Xing was stunned and blurted out: "Where did you get the house? Don't you want to buy a big apartment?"
Xue Ling made a hissing gesture and explained: "I bought a lot of apartments for the owner of 'Wangjiangyuan', more than one, and they are all located near the river. The apartments are located near Wangjiang. The location is neither high nor low.
It's on the seventh or eighth floor. When the time comes, you two will go pick it out. If you choose a set you like the most, buy it from me. The price is the same as Boss Liao's. I'll let you pay back the money slowly."
Liu Xing and Wang Qing looked at each other and were overjoyed at the same time.
"Really?! Can we pay it back slowly?!"
Xue Ling nodded heavily: "We are friends, why not!"
It's a pity that there is no such thing as a housing loan in this era. If there was, with their income, they wouldn't have to worry about it.
Liu Xing was so excited that she grabbed her hand.
"Xue Ling! From now on, you will be my boss! My brother! From now on, I can do anything you want me to do, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Wang Qing sniffed and smiled with tears in his eyes.
"Ling Ling...thank you...except for this, I can't find any other words to say."
Xue Ling laughed and said: "Boss Liao sold it to me at a cheaper price, so I still made a profit."
Liu Xing smiled and said: "If you can let me have a wedding room to get married first, let me get through this difficulty and pay it back slowly, even if I sell it for thirty-five or forty, I will be willing to do it!"
"Thirty is thirty." Xue Ling squeezed their hands and whispered: "Then it's settled. Ah Qing, don't tell your mother about this, just say that Liu Xing is willing to buy one of the sets.
I want you to marry him as soon as possible. There is no need to let other people know about this, do you understand?"
Liu Xing burst into tears of gratitude and understood that she was taking care of her own face.
