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, so there was no need to worry so much."
"That's true."
Father Wang nodded.
Xue Yang and Wang Xiaoxiao both laughed.
Mother Wang was not embarrassed and explained: “When we were young, every household’s financial situation was similar.
A wealthy family can be considered very wealthy if they have more than one or two hundred.
There is not much difference among ordinary families. They receive about the same salary every month and have similar expenses.
At that time, it was just about watching movies, getting married as soon as we met, and we didn’t need to think too much about other things, because everyone’s situation was the same.”
"yes."
Father Wang recalled the good times of his youth, with a gentle and yearning look on his face: "Back then, the pressure on the younger generation was not as great as it is now.
Reading, falling in love, and working are all done step by step."
Mother Wang said warmly: “The income gap is not big either.
Teachers get a few dozen yuan a month, and so do worker comrades.
Everyone has a stable income and lives a simple and simple life frugally."
"Don't worry about the house."
Dad Wang said: "At first it was a dormitory, then after we got married it was a small house, and then it was a collective house.
Although our income is not much, we are never under much pressure.
Later, when you were born, it was a bit more stressful, but when you got a few years old, we became more relaxed again."
Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but yearn for it: "People were much more honest back then, weren't they?"
"Ha ha!"
Xue Yang smiled and said: "There are honest people at any time, it is just the environment that creates them.
Now the environment has changed, and so has the mentality.
In the final analysis, it is not that today’s young people are too realistic and do not pursue love, but that the environment has caused them to be under too much pressure and have to be cautious about 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: "Both 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!"
Mother Wang echoed: "If you were just children from an ordinary family, 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 their love.
You got married for love, so you didn'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 see clearly."
Mother Wang smiled bitterly: "How can we not see through it?
Right?
In today’s society, everyone is so realistic, and little girls can’t do anything if they don’t follow the trend.”
"Um."
Father Wang whispered: "House prices in small counties are extremely 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 include repairs.
With her savings, Xiaoxiao's help, and our years of savings, we finally bought the apartment.
I’m saving money little by little for renovation, and I hope to be able to decorate it by the end of this year.”
Mother Wang sighed helplessly: "Since we were young, we have always lived frugally.
It's also very worry-free for you two. We don't have to pay for it.
Unexpectedly, my savings for most of my life were only enough for an adobe house.
The area is not too big, just over 100 square meters."
Dad Wang whispered: "My little sister means don't worry about the decoration, because she still has to live at home with us.
After she confirms the marriage relationship, she will decide whether to decorate or not."
"What's the meaning?"
Xue Yang asked: "Maybe you can't live there?"
Dad Wang explained: "She said that the other party also had a house, not far from his work and not far from hers.
If the two finally get together, she will move in with him.
Because the man’s suite has been renovated and can be packed in at any time.”
"She also said that the apartment her family bought for her would be simply renovated and then rented out."
Mother Wang said: "Save some money around.
Young people have a lot of expenses, and the expenses of raising children will be even greater in the future, so they need to have some extra income, otherwise their living standards will decrease."
"fine!"
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 paid 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 I didn't have much money, so I could only help a little.
Now that he is financially well-off, I will also be collecting the rent for the property in his name in the second half of the year, and he suddenly has a lot of money around him.
Let us help share the money for the decoration of the new suite."
"right."
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 you want to rent it out, 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. It was barely decorated at the beginning and 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 left dry for a few months before you can move in.
We will take the opportunity to renovate the fund-raising house, and then you will move back."
"No no no."
Dad Wang quickly shook his head: "What a waste of money... We live well, there is nothing we need to move."
You have become an old gentleman and an old lady, why do you need to live in such a nice place?"
Mother Wang couldn't help but nod: "Yes, yes! We are all of this age and we don't deserve to live in such a good environment.
The collective housing is pretty good, so there’s no need to waste money.”
"oops!"
Wang Xiaoxiao became anxious and said angrily: "Can old people 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 any rules, but aren't most people like this?
It is an unwritten rule established by society that the elderly live in old houses."
