the next day.
Had breakfast.
Su Mingcheng didn't go out. He stayed at home, thinking about how to grow old better.
Of course Su Mingcheng didn't really chew on his old age.
His gnawing at old age is also a 'fake gnawing at old age'.
He will arrange the money he gets from his family and will not use it randomly.
"Mingcheng, how about you find a job?
I have a friend, she is
That's a good place. Many people want to go there. How about I help you ask? "Zhao Meilan discussed with Su Daqiang last night and thought it would be better to find a job for Su Mingcheng.
They were not at ease if Su Mingcheng was allowed to start his own business.
"Mom, didn't I tell you? I want to do import and export business with my classmates. I don't want to find a job."
"But..." Zhao Meilan wanted to say something else.
"Mom, just let me try. If it doesn't work, you can help me find a better job."
"Okay." Zhao Meilan had no choice but to agree.
Su Daqiang wanted to persuade Su Mingcheng to work steadily, but he looked at Zhao Meilan, shrank his head, and did not dare to speak out.
"Mingcheng, don't you have a sorority party today? Why don't you clean it up quickly?" Zhao Meilan asked.
Zhao Meilan was concerned about everything about Su Mingcheng.
"It's not interesting, I don't want to go." Su Mingcheng was not interested in the fraternity party between classmates.
"It's okay if you don't go. Just rest at home." Zhao Meilan followed Su Mingcheng in everything and was very partial to Su Mingcheng, her second son.
"By the way, Mom, isn't my eldest brother going to Stanford? I won't buy the car. I'll raise the money for my brother first." Su Mingcheng's words stunned Su Daqiang on the side.
Su Daqiang looked at Su Mingcheng in surprise, "When did Su Mingcheng become so sensible?"
In addition to working, Su Daqiang usually stays at home and hangs around Zhao Meilan.
"My family has become sensible." Zhao Meilan smiled happily, "Don't worry, your dad and I will find a way to deal with the money, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Oh." Su Mingcheng responded casually.
Su Mingcheng knew that Zhao Meilan was determined to sell the house.
However, Su Mingcheng did not intend to persuade.
Because persuasion is in vain.
In the TV series, Zhao Meilan sold the room where Su Mingyu lived.
Then, Su Mingyu had no place to live and could only live with Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan.
There is a little confusion here.
There are three rooms on the second floor for three children.
Su Mingzhe went to Chou Country.
After that, he never came back.
Why not sell Su Mingzhe's house?
In addition, even if Su Mingyu's house is sold, why not let Su Mingyu live in Su Mingzhe's room?
In the TV series, Su Mingyu had no place to live, so she could only sleep on the table at home, which made her restless and affected her study.
This plot design is a bit too blunt and deliberate.
Not long.
Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang went out.
They want someone to sell a house.
Su Mingyu had breakfast and had been studying in the room.
The same is true for Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingcheng was fine and planned to go out for a walk.
Although Su Mingcheng didn't plan to work, he had to find something to do.
Around 2007, Su City was also well developed.
Riding his bicycle past the stock exchange, Su Mingcheng saw many people gathered there, seemingly chatting animatedly about something.
“You can’t trade on weekends, why are there so many people?”
"By the way, 2006 and 2007 were a bull market, and many stocks increased more than ten times. Now is the time for everyone to speculate in stocks."
"How about opening an account?" For Su Mingcheng, getting money from the stock market is the easiest thing.
The weekend is over.
Su Mingcheng defrauded 3,000 yuan from his family, saying that he was about to graduate and had plenty of money to spend.
After leaving home, Su Mingcheng went to open an account first.
Then, went to school.
In the last week of college, students are all busy looking for jobs or internships.
There is no one in the dormitory.
Su Mingcheng went online to read stocks.
In the dormitory, Su Mingcheng has a laptop.
At home, Su Mingcheng has a desktop computer.
But Su Mingyu had nothing.
This is Zhao Meilan's partiality.
Look at domestic stocks, and then look at ugly stocks.
The whole morning passed.
At noon, someone came back from the dormitory.
"Mingcheng, you didn't go out to look for a job?" Wang Lei was dressed in a suit, obviously going out for an interview.
Wang Lei's family is from a rural area. His skin is somewhat dark, he is not tall, neither fat nor thin. He studies well, is quite proactive, and is down-to-earth. He is a qualified wage earner.
"I'm not looking for you anymore." Su Mingcheng responded.
"Why aren't you looking for it? You've already found it, right?"
"No, I plan to find something to do by myself instead of working part-time."
"Start a business? You can do it, Mingcheng."
"Not really. I don't know what to do yet. I don't want to work anyway."
Have a casual chat.
Had a meal.
Take a break.
The other two people in the dormitory have not returned and should be busy looking for jobs.
Wang Lei went out to find a job again.
Su Mingcheng was fine and went to play basketball.
Stayed at school for a few days.
Su Mingcheng is fine.
Either stock trading, writing a graduation thesis, or playing basketball and exercising.
Su Mingcheng's body is slowly getting stronger.
this day.
afternoon.
Su Mingcheng goes to play basketball again.
Wang Lei also followed.
Wang Lei was in a good mood and said he had passed the first test and was waiting for the second test.
There were a lot of people on the basketball court. Su Mingcheng and Wang Lei found a few people to play with.
Because there are so many people, rotation is required. Whichever side scores ten goals first wins.
Three-pointers and two-pointers are the same.
Su Mingcheng played very restrained, but even so, he still played the best and shot the most accurately.
After winning three games in a row, Su Mingcheng took the initiative.
He picked up the water on the side and was about to drink it when he noticed a girl staring at him.
"Julie?" Su Mingcheng looked over and was a little surprised.
Because that girl is Su Mingcheng's wife in "Everything Is Fine".
Julie has fair skin, cute appearance, petite figure, good temperament and other aspects.
Looking at each other with Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li blushed and left.
Julie is from the school next door.
She accompanied her roommate to the basketball court here.
After arriving, my roommate went to cheer for her boyfriend.
Julie is fine, just take a look.
It turned out that Su Mingcheng was good at basketball, tall, thin, and energetic, so he took a second look.
"What are you looking at?" Wang Lei asked.
"What's that girl's name?"
"do not know."
"Can you help me find someone to ask?"
"What are you doing?"
"What do you think?" Su Mingcheng showed a smile that everyone understood.
"Just wait, I'll ask." Wang Lei inquired.
After a while.
"My name is Zhu Li. She is from school 985 next door. Her roommate's boyfriend is..."
"Julie? Do you have a boyfriend?" Su Mingcheng's purpose was very clear.
"What's wrong? Did you fall in love at first sight?" Wang Lei said with a smile.
"That's right." Su Mingcheng admitted directly.
Now Su Mingcheng's face is thicker than the city wall.
"Damn it, you are... Spring is really here, it's the season of breeding offspring."
"Tell me, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, but I heard that there are many people chasing her."
"A lot? Count me in. Who is her roommate's boyfriend? Let's make an appointment to have dinner together and ask Julie to come." Su Mingcheng is very capable.
"Damn it, you're not serious, are you?" Wang Lei was stunned.
"This can still be false."
"Then why don't we call all Zhu Li's roommates?" Wang Lei hesitated, a little embarrassed.
"What do you mean?"
"I heard that Zhu Li and the others in the dormitory are all beautiful." Wang Lei also had an idea. We are all young people with simple ideas and purely like beautiful girls.
Su Mingcheng looked at Wang Lei, "Do you want to breed too?"
"roll!"
Friday.
noon.
Hotel next to the school.
Su Mingcheng met Zhu Li as he wished.
Of course there are others.
"This is..." someone briefly introduced.
Wait until the introduction is finished.
Su Mingcheng extended his hand to Zhu Li and said, "Hello, I am Su Mingcheng."
"Oh, hello, my name is Zhu Li." Zhu Li shook hands with Su Mingcheng with a blush.
"We met a few days ago, right?" Su Mingcheng sat down next to Zhu Li while talking.
Su Mingcheng took the lead, and Wang Lei and the others were also unambiguous. They each focused on the target, sat on the edge, and found a topic to chat.
Zhu Li seemed to have a good impression of Su Mingcheng and didn't mind Su Mingcheng's initiative.
Others were talking and laughing.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
eat and drink.
"Are you free tomorrow? Let's climb the mountain together." Su Mingcheng took the initiative to ask Zhu Li.
"Not tomorrow. I have to go shopping with my mother to buy clothes tomorrow."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"It should be possible the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, then we'll be there the day after tomorrow morning and we'll call you then." Su Mingcheng had already asked for Zhu Li's phone number.
"Okay." Julie agreed with a slight blush.
Wang Lei and the others also made appointments individually, some agreed and some did not.
Same as Delhi.
afternoon.
Su Mingcheng returned home.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"You're back? Are you tired? You've sweated so much, drink a glass of water." Zhao Meilan hurriedly motioned to Su Daqiang to pour some water.
"I'm not tired." Su Mingcheng hesitated, "Mom, let me tell you something."
"What happened? Did you get into trouble again?" Zhao Meilan asked.
"What, I'm going mountain climbing with a female classmate the day after tomorrow." Su Mingcheng had no intention of hiding what happened with Zhu Li.
"What? Hiking a mountain with a female classmate?" Su Daqiang screamed.
Before Zhao Meilan could say anything, Su Daqiang called out first.
Su Daqiang stared at Su Mingcheng with wide eyes.
Zhao Meilan rolled her eyes at Su Daqiang, "Mingcheng, tell mom, are you your girlfriend?"
"Not yet. We just met. We had lunch together and thought it was pretty good."
"What's your name? Are you from your university?" Su Daqiang asked hurriedly.
"My name is Zhu Li. She is from the 985 school next door. She studies finance. Her family"
"It's a good university, and my family is full of intellectuals." Su Daqiang was happy.
Su Daqiang was very happy that Su Mingcheng could find a girl from a good family.
"Is she an only daughter?" Zhao Meilan's eyes lit up. Her focus is different.
"I'm looking for clothes to wear the day after tomorrow." After chatting for a while, Su Mingcheng went up to the second floor.
Downstairs, Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan continued to chat about Su Mingcheng.
At first they were quite happy.
"I went to a good university and studied well."
"The only daughter in the family has less trouble."
"My parents are both intellectuals and well-educated."
However, Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan didn't chat for a few words.
Somewhat worried.
Why?
Because of lack of money.
Su Mingcheng graduated.
It's time to find a girlfriend and think about marriage.
But these days, getting married is not a simple matter. It's not like two people can just get a marriage certificate if they see each other right.
It requires some hard conditions.
For example: house, car, bride price, etc.
Su Mingzhe wants to go abroad, which requires a lot of money.
If Su Mingcheng gets married and buys a house, he will need more money.
But there is no money!
Su Daqiang lowered his head, not knowing what to do.
Zhao Meilan thought for a while, "No, just sell a few more rooms."
Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang have asked people to sell their houses in the past few days.
The room price is not bad.
Selling a house and adding in family savings would be enough for Su Mingzhe to study abroad, and also enough for Su Mingcheng to buy a car worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
But selling one house is no longer enough.
"How many rooms will be sold?" Su Daqiang was a little unhappy and his voice was low.
He doesn't want to sell the house.
Under normal circumstances, no one would sell the house they live in.
Unless, you have to sell.
"House prices are not low now, so all the houses upstairs should be sold." Zhao Meilan was also helpless. She didn't want to sell her house, she was forced to sell her house because she had no choice.
"All sold? Where will Mingcheng and the others live?" Su Daqiang mainly asked about Su Mingyu.
Because Su Mingzhe doesn't need to live abroad when he goes abroad.
After buying a house for Su Mingcheng, Su Mingcheng also had a place to live and didn't need to live there.
Only Su Mingyu still needs to live at home.
"Mingzhe and Mingcheng are both easy to talk to. As for Mingyu, let Mingyu join us. She will go to college soon." Zhao Meilan had no choice but to arrange it this way.
At this time.
"Mom, why are you selling the house?" Su Mingcheng asked deliberately. He came downstairs and happened to hear it.
Su Daqiang glanced at Su Mingcheng with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Meilan smiled fondly, "If I don't sell the house, how can I buy you a building?"
"Why buy a building?" Su Mingcheng pretended to be stupid.
"Don't you have a girlfriend? You've graduated from college. It's time to think about your marriage." Zhao Meilan smiled.
"Marriage? Isn't it too early?" Su Mingcheng continued to act stupid.
"It's getting late. If you get married earlier, I can have a grandson sooner." Zhao Meilan said.
"Yeah, it's not too early." Su Daqiang was very happy at the thought of being able to hold his grandson, and he didn't care about Su Mingyu anymore.
"Then how do you sell the house?" Su Mingcheng acted very selfishly at this time, a typical gnawing at the old man.
"I discussed with your father and planned to sell the house upstairs.
Part of the money will be used for your eldest brother’s education.
The rest will be used to buy a building for you.
The full payment is not enough, but you can pay a down payment and pay back the rest gradually. "Zhao Meilan has finally made up her mind.
"In this case, that's okay. I'll buy a two-bedroom house. I'll live in one room and Mingyu will live in the other room." Su Mingcheng still had a conscience and considered Su Mingyu.
"Don't worry about Mingyu, she can squeeze in with us." Zhao Meilan didn't want Su Mingyu to be related to the new house and affect Su Mingcheng's marriage.
"I wonder how much the house price is now?" Su Mingcheng didn't say much about where Su Mingyu lived. When the time comes, he will buy a house and let Su Mingyu live in one room.
"House prices are not low. They have been rising in recent years." Su Daqiang interjected.
"Dad, do you think housing prices will become more and more expensive in the future?" Su Mingcheng asked.
"No, it can't keep rising, right?" Su Daqiang's idea is shared by many people, and they all feel that it can't keep rising.
But in the next ten years, housing prices really kept rising.
And it’s so high that many people can’t afford to buy a house.
Later, most of those who did not have a house could no longer afford it.
No one will buy a house anymore.
Even if buying a house is encouraged, not many people will buy it. Because I can't afford it.
"Dad, I think housing prices will continue to rise, and they will rise sharply. Look, there are more and more people coming from other places.
They definitely want to buy a house. If there is demand, housing prices will rise." Su Mingcheng said some data, and the migrant population in Suzhou City is increasing.
"So, the prices of buildings outside are going to increase? Then you have to buy them quickly!" Su Daqiang became anxious.
"Yes, Dad, buying a house earlier means saving money." Su Mingcheng said.
"It's time to buy a house as soon as possible." Zhao Meilan was also a little anxious.
