Wang Qinghe's house is still some distance away from Yuchi District, and it took two cars a full 40 minutes to get there.
Moreover, it is actually a villa area.
Ding Wei then learned that the reason why he couldn't always tell where his house was was not because he bought too much and couldn't remember.
It's because the Wang family is engaged in real estate.
In every real estate development, there must be a few units left for the family.
But the imperial capital is so big, and there are so many large and small real estates. Now if you ask him how many houses he owns, Wang Qinghe really can't tell you.
Well, maybe...this is the trouble of rich people.
…
Listening to Lu Cheng say such words with a smile, Ding Wei felt sore from her bones to her flesh.
She made up her mind - I have to ask him later, what other properties are available in his house? Is there any discount for buying a facade house?
Xie Yan seized the opportunity and asked quickly: "Weiwei, is that enough money? I still have it there. But if you need money, you have to tell me in advance. Now it's basically invested in the stock market."
Ding Wei shook her head: "There is no shortage at the moment. I haven't decided where to buy it yet. What's more, I have money myself."
But now there is no place to use it, so I also invested in the stock market. I didn’t buy much else, so I picked the most familiar big penguin.
Seeing it rising every day, I feel really good.
The two discussed the stocks on hand and felt that the other party understood them too well.
Lu Cheng took them around the garden and green space, and finally arrived at the door of a villa.
…
During this period of time, he felt that his achievements were already quite remarkable, and he felt quite proud of them.
But now I listen to Ding Wei and Xie Yan chatting - they are obviously still so young!
If Mr. Wang and Wang Qinghe, who asked him to help decorate the house, started with their family background, Ding Wei and Xie Yan, who listened to what they said, had worked hard on their own step by step.
There is no comparison between people!
Lu Cheng thought silently: He will have to work hard in the second half of the year.
At the end of the year, no matter what, I have to bring my parents, Xiaohai and son out. The children educated in this big city are really different from those in their poor mountain villages.
…
As expected of its own real estate, this place is probably the king of the building. It is located at the highest point of the entire community. It is quiet and undisturbed. It can also overlook the entire community. The scenery is particularly beautiful.
Standing on the roof, you can even see the lake in the park not far away.
Lu Cheng was flipping through the drawings to show them.
"There are specialized designers for the design of the villa, but Mr. Wang dislikes that they made it too complicated in some places. He happened to see the minimalist decoration of your house, so he assigned the project to me. I hope we can communicate with each other."
This kind of communication has been a huge improvement for Lu Cheng, although at first the designer did not like his informal team in the countryside and used many despicable words.
But those who work outside have never suffered any losses.
What Lu Cheng lacks than him is his vision and acumen in design. He can try his best to achieve the effects required by other designers, and his craftsmanship is solid...
Just by taking one step at a time, the two sides became harmonious.
Of course, hard work pays off, especially in this environment full of opportunities.
After the designers got along well with them, they recommended them to the homeowners for several jobs they took on.
It is estimated that by next month, Lu Cheng's team will add some more people, and he has even begun to inquire about the process of registering a company.
The start of his career makes him speak with confidence now, making him more and more convincing.
…
However, the house had only just begun to be decorated. After Ding Wei and Xie Yan took a look at the designer's exquisite design, they went directly to the rooftop.
The rooftop is semi-open.
Under the cover of the eaves, there was a cool breeze, which was more comfortable than the environment downstairs. Ding Wei took advantage of Lu Cheng to go down to explain to the workers, so she simply watched the scenery here.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel excited about the big house.
At this moment, he was looking at the sparkling water under the sun, and was about to say something to Xie Yan, when he saw that wretched man from before appeared again by the lake in the park without knowing when.
Ding Wei frowned.
There was still some distance between the villa and the park. He could only see it because he was standing high. No matter how small it was, he couldn't see it.
It's just that colorful face that's so impressive that it's unmistakable.
She looked carefully again and found that the little reporter from before had not followed.
And that wretched man did look suspicious. He was walking back and forth by the lake in the middle of the day under the bright sun. He must have something to do.
After a while, another man appeared, and the two chatted together for a while. Their eyes turned to the community where Ding Wei was located.
Subconsciously, Ding Wei shrank her body back.
——This does not look like a good person!
But then she reflected on herself, and she couldn't be so arbitrary just because her parents were ugly.
It was just a glance, and had no other meaning.
But this incident was remembered in her heart.
After a while, she carefully took a look at the corner of the rooftop fence and found that the two of them had dispersed.
Looking down from a high place, you can see the man who was chatting just now bypassing the small gate of the park and getting into the dilapidated iron room on the side.
Xie Yan came over:
"Weiwei, do you like the scenery here?"
…
Ding Wei nodded: "It's quite beautiful, but where is that place?"
She pointed to the lake in the park.
Xie Yan took a look and said, "This should be Wanghai Park."
Lu Cheng was coming up from the stairs. When he heard this, he quickly stretched his head to take a look: "Yes, that iron room is a worker's room! I heard that the lakeside was originally planned to be reorganized, but I don't know why the negotiation didn't happen.
The workers have all evacuated again."
However, this park is very old and the safety measures around the lake are not adequate. Sooner or later it will have to be renovated, so it has not been demolished.
"It's probably still facing those tools."
Ding Wei was thoughtful.
…
Xie Yan's short three-day vacation is about to pass by just one day.
After viewing the house, they probably had new ideas about their future home.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Yan took Ding Wei home directly.
He had already reported this morning, and his parents are probably preparing a big meal at home right now.
This was not the first time I went there, and Ding Wei seemed much more casual.
Now I have a headache - what if the two parents insist on meeting?
Look at the words of thanks on the side - the role of a boyfriend should be reflected at this time.
Ah, headache.
Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned again - in her previous life, she was extremely resistant to even falling in love, and she thought she was a standard non-marriage person.
But now that I met Xiao Xie, I actually thought of such a thing.
Ding Wei couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that what she is resisting is not marriage, but a forced marriage with an inappropriate person.
I think so.
Poverty can crush a person's spirit. In her previous life, the financial pressure was so great that it was already difficult to survive, let alone a marriage that required trust but may not be able to bear the cost.
If you don't even have a place to stay, how can you have time to talk about romance?
…
Xie Yan didn't know what was going on in his girlfriend's little mind. He climbed upstairs with familiarity and just knocked on the door, only to see that there were guests in the room.
"Auntie, why are you free to come here today?"
Ding Wei was also stunned.
I never expected that there would be guests at the family gathering tonight.
She quickly put on a business smile.
Xie Yan didn't expect it either, so he quickly introduced her: "Weiwei, this is my aunt."
"Auntie, this is my girlfriend Ding Wei, just call her Weiwei."
Ding Wei was indeed caught off guard, but fortunately she didn't have stage fright. At this moment, her standard smile was very sincere: "Hello, aunt!"
…
Auntie Xie Yan had a smile on her face and greeted her warmly, but her eyes were scrutinizing her, not revealing anything from her appearance to her clothes.
She also had a smile on her face: "Come, come, sit down and eat some fruit."
She enthusiastically pulled all the fruit plates on the table towards Ding Wei.
Ding Wei couldn't resist the kindness, so she had to pick up two grapes and hold them in her hand.
Mother Xie was quite calm.
After all, when Ding Wei came to pick up Xie Yan in the morning, she just came and sat there for a while - well, something seemed not right.
Looking again, her son had already gone into the toilet. Mother Xie thought for a while and couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she could only press the button for now.
"Weiwei, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Ding Wei smiled and said: "I can eat anything, anyway, my uncle and aunt are good at cooking."
She was not polite, but Xie's mother, Zhao Yunjing, already regarded her as one of her own family members, and now she said as if she was offering a treasure:
"I bought fresh yellow croaker today, and I will stew small yellow croaker for you tonight! Make it spicy!"
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Okay."
Xie's father's specialty dish - small yellow croaker, stewed is so delicious that every time Ding Wei comes to eat, she even takes out the rotten garlic cloves stewed in it and eats it.
Although she only came a few times, everyone knew she liked the food the first time.
So every time I come here, this dish will definitely appear.
…
Xie Yan's aunt looked at her with a smile and asked while cracking melon seeds:
"Wei Wei and Xie Yan are classmates?"
Ding Wei nodded, very politely:
"Yes, but not a professional."
"Hello, classmate, classmate." The aunt said happily, "We are all well-educated."
"But... I heard that you are from Jiangzhou, your hometown, right? Isn't Jiangzhou quite poor there?"
This is a very rude question.
But the aunt also had ideas in her mind.
They thanked Yan for being so outstanding. Nowadays, girls from other places have a lot to think about. Maybe they are also interested in their family background.
This is a question, but also a disguised form of beating.
After all, there were some things that her sister, a future mother-in-law, couldn't say easily.
…
"fine."
Ding Wei's smile remained unchanged: "The country is getting better day by day, and so are our lives. We can't be said to be rich, but our basic life is no problem."
The words were quite official and clearly showed her emotions.
Xie’s mother, Zhao Yunjing, noticed it and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
She was actually quite satisfied with Ding Wei, but when the eldest sister heard about it, she had more ideas.
When Ding Wei and the others came back, the eldest sister had not been here long, and some topics had not been discussed yet. It would be inappropriate to ask this question at this time.
That's her sister's thing, she works neatly, but sometimes what she says is really unpleasant... She is also afraid that the children will feel uncomfortable listening to it.
The aunt didn't change her expression and said with a smile:
"Oh, then you are in luck by asking us to thank you. You two are really old people in the capital, you two are going to get married in the future, and your household registration will not be a problem at all."
"Besides, we thank Yan for being so handsome. If he didn't have a girlfriend, I would have so many good girls in my hands that I would never forget her when I see her."
Ding Wei:……
She tried not to laugh.
She knew that her aunt's pickiness was the pickiness of the old Imperial City people, and she had experienced a lot at work in her previous life.
It's not too much to say I'm angry now, and my aunt's attitude when speaking is pretty good.
Just listening to her... made her want to laugh a little bit.
As for the chubby appearance before Xie Yan, there is nothing that can be done to make the girl unforgettable once she sees him, right?
He is indeed handsome now that he has lost weight, but the problem is, staying at the company and working overtime every day, how many women can he see in a day?
What the aunt said... maybe she didn't even know how Xie Yan got here in the past six months.
Then Ding Wei also laughed:
"Yes, auntie, I also think that I am very discerning. If I hadn't seen Xie Yan's really good-looking face, I would have hesitated for a long time before agreeing to his pursuit."
"Now that I think about it, it's not a loss."
…
What? Is this what Xie Yan himself pursues?!
The aunt's face looked a little embarrassed.
She was originally thinking that since Xie Yan was so handsome now, this foreign girl wouldn't be able to pick on him.
Doing it for a long time is what she pursues...then what else can she say? She has been a bad person for a long time in vain.
She glared at Zhao Yunjing.
I’ve heard about it since the Chinese New Year, but I’m so confused that I don’t understand anything, and I’m afraid that I’ll be so embarrassed today…
Looking at the equally young and beautiful Ding Wei, the aunt's mood is quite subtle.
…
Zhao Yunjing also knew what her sister was thinking, so she quickly smoothed things over with a smile - it was also because she didn't know how to look at children before, so she didn't dare to say too much.
I’m already embarrassed to call my eldest sister.
"Weiwei, I went to see the house decoration with Xie Yan today. How did it go?"
"House renovation?"
The aunt couldn't help but speak.
"We Xie Yan have started looking at houses before graduation. Are we a little too anxious?"
Looking at Ding Wei's eyes again, something is wrong - this girl has some tricks up her sleeve.
"fine."
Ding Wei laughed: "Xie Yan and I are not neighbors. He wants to connect the two families now, but I don't know if the property management company will allow him to do so."
"Today we are just looking at the style for the time being. We are going to ask a designer to design the details."
…
"It should, it should. If you want a place to live for a lifetime, don't be afraid of spending money. Auntie has prepared it here."
Zhao Yunjing laughed: "It doesn't matter if we get through it, I'll live in a bigger house and be happy. When the time comes, I'll get you a big study room, and it will look different."
Ding Wei is also satisfied - this is the attitude she wants.
"No, Auntie, we both have enough money."
The amount of information in these words was so great that my aunt couldn't take it in one breath. She couldn't take it up and couldn't take it down. She choked in her throat. She just felt like there were ten thousand why questions.
Listen to this, this girl already has a house?
Still next to Xie Yan!
Her sister's family background, her aunt can more or less guess, and she can afford to buy a house for her children.
There’s no reason to even buy your girlfriend’s house.
This girl from Jiangzhou has such good family conditions?
Auntie is a little depressed.
Oops, in this comparison, except for their imperial household registration, Xie Yan doesn't have any advantage.
Thinking about it again, after buying a house, the family already has the imperial household registration, so this is even less advantageous!
What a feeling!
It's very complicated.
With this premise in mind, when Auntie looks at Ding Wei, she looks really pleasing to the eye.
Look at this girl, she is young and beautiful, and she is quite mature... She is so good, there must be many young men chasing her.
They thanked Yan and heard that they have been at work recently... How can this young man at work have time to spend with his girlfriend? Oops!
Auntie felt a little regretful.
——I definitely didn’t leave a good impression on others just now!
…
She was holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and she was eating them a little absent-mindedly.
Zhao Yunjing saw it and couldn't help laughing in her heart.
Her eldest sister, oh! She has a simple mind and can see everything she wants at a glance. But looking at Weiwei, she is also completely satisfied. She has such a good temper and doesn't suffer any loss...
They Xie Yan must be managed by such a soft yet strong girl!
So he hurried over and asked proactively: "It will take a while to decorate the house, and I haven't handed it in yet, right? What pattern do you like? I see that everyone is doing cross-stitch now, so I'll give you two big ones!"
Oops, when it comes to cross-stitch, my aunt is very excited.
"I do. I have a two-meter eight-horse picture at home. I will hang it in your living room when the time comes. It will be very impressive."
Ding Wei:……
It's very difficult.
How to refuse this?
But...she has an idea of what to give as a guest next time.
…
Xie Yan just went to the bathroom and went back to the room to pack his things. When he came out again, he found that his aunt was so enthusiastic about Weiwei that she was even a little overwhelmed.
When Ding Wei refused the handed fruit plate for the third time, he quickly sat down in the middle:
"Auntie, don't just give her food, I haven't eaten yet."
The aunt glared at him:
"You kid, why are you so ignorant? It's hard for Weiwei to buy things at school, so she needs to make up for herself during the holidays."
Xie Yan:……
Although it was only a temporary relief, but...
He said seriously: "Auntie, haven't you noticed that I've lost weight?"
The aunt glanced at him:
"I'm not presbyopic yet, so I must have seen it. Let me tell you, you should have lost weight a long time ago. You look so handsome now that you have lost weight! You are just right for our Weiwei!"
"When I was chubby before, now the little girl doesn't like it. It's time to say you are not worthy behind your back."
Xie Yan:……
He remembered the appraising and critical looks of the girls when he was waiting for her downstairs in Ding Wei's dormitory.
——Is it really because I’m not good-looking enough?
And what does auntie mean by this?
Did the fall from grace come so quickly?
But my aunt’s instructions were not over yet.
"But let me tell you, you should be more relaxed. Don't be too thin. If you are too thin, you will look older and it will not match you. Just like this, a little fatter is just right - eat more for dinner."
Xie Yan:……
…
The aunt who was talking about eating more for dinner spent the whole night putting vegetables into Ding Wei's bowl.
Xie Yan lowered his head and smiled sullenly, and was criticized by his aunt for not looking after his girlfriend...
In the end, he had no choice but to keep picking up the piles of vegetables from his girlfriend's bowl, and his aunt had to give him money.
Zhao Yunjing also laughed:
"Sister, stop eating. Children can't eat that much. And you can eat whatever you want. Don't worry about them. Just eat quickly."
The aunt looked at the vegetables piled up like a spire in Ding Wei's bowl, and then she stopped without wanting to finish.
"I'm not afraid that Weiwei is thin-skinned, I'm sorry."
…
When she finally came out of Xie Yan's house, Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the large and small bags of snacks and fruits in her hands and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your aunt really feels sorry for you."
Xie Yan laughed: "No, I'm just afraid that you won't look down on me, so now I'm trying my best to score me points in front of you."
Ding Wei couldn't help laughing: "It's too difficult, I can't stand it."
If it weren't for Xie Yan's presence in the bowl, she wouldn't be able to finish it anyway.
She looked at her boyfriend, who was particularly handsome under the light, and smiled now.
"Lower your head."
"You performed well today and I'll give you a reward."
…
Under the dim yellow street lights, the leaves swayed with the rustling night wind, extremely gentle.
