The family of three drove the car downstairs. Chen Xi and Xiao Jiming looked at the trunk full of things and smiled bitterly.
The temperature was close to 40 degrees, and the temperature in the trunk was ridiculously high under the sun. Paper towels were okay, but rice and cooking oil were definitely not allowed to be placed inside.
Xiao Jiming chuckled and said: "I was happy when I collected it, but I will die if I move it upstairs."
Chen Xi sighed and said, "It's really time to change the house."
The couple groaned as they unloaded things from the trunk.
Xiao Yan couldn't help, so he stood on the side and said, "Why move? Let's buy a house."
"You think you can buy Chinese cabbage!" Chen Xi laughed and said, "You can buy it today? You can move in after buying it?"
Xiao Yan said with a smile: "Let's buy one that can be moved in with a bag."
"It would be nice if it was that simple." Xiao Jiming motioned to Xiao Yan to put things in the corridor together. The car was blocking the road. There was a car in the yard that wanted to go out. He couldn't delay others for too long. "Your aunt's house, front and back It took me half a year to move in."
Xiao Yan didn't take it seriously. In the final analysis, it was all about money. As long as the money was in place, he didn't believe it could be done within a few days.
The three people ran up and down several times and finally moved all the pile of things to the seventh floor.
Chen Xi and Xiao Jiming were soaked with sweat, and they had to use the air conditioner for more than ten minutes to calm down.
Of course Xiao Yan was fine, but he was afraid that they would become suspicious, so he used his skills to break out into a sweat.
The whole family lined up to take a shower. Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "We won't be cooking today. Let's go out to eat. After that, we'll go find an agent. This is a shabby house! I really don't want to live there all day!"
…
When Liu Mo returned home, his parents and younger brother were having lunch, and two floor fans were blowing at them.
Seeing her come back, Liu's father asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I had dinner with my classmates outside." Liu Mo responded, changed his shoes and prepared to go back to his room.
Mother Liu threw her chopsticks down and said, "Eating out every day for free? It's not like there's no food at home!"
Liu Mo whispered: "This is a guest invited by a classmate."
"When I ask, it's a treat from a classmate!" Mother Liu glared and said, "Why do people treat you every day? You don't need to treat me back? Let me tell you, don't waste the red envelopes given by your relatives without feeling sorry for them! These are all favors. , We will all pay it back when the time comes, damn girl, you refuse to hand it over to me!"
"Mom!" Liu Mo said aggrievedly, "I only received more than three thousand yuan. I have graduated from high school, so I must have some entertainment."
"What do you mean only more than three thousand!" Mother Liu shouted: "I have worked hard for a month and this is all! Ha! It's only more than three thousand! Let me see if you make more than three thousand! Look at this person's Zhang Ting, she went to work as a summer job as soon as she got off. She didn’t ask for a penny from her family, and she even bought some clothes for her mother. How about you! You only know how to spend money, but you don’t even know how to help with household chores!"
Liu Mo defended, "I washed my clothes this morning."
Mother Liu became even more angry when she heard this, and reprimanded: "Is it enough to just wash clothes? Have you mopped the floor? Did you help pick vegetables? Your father and I work so hard, and we have to rush back to cook every day. Why don't you go to school?" There’s no other way, now that I’m on vacation, I still only know how to play!”
"Okay, okay." Liu's father advised from the side: "She finally got into college, it's time to relax."
"Why should she relax? No money for college? No money for living expenses? The family is so difficult, why can't she help share the burden? She is such an adult and is not sensible at all. You are used to it!"
Liu Mo ran into his room with his head lowered and closed the door hard.
"How dare you slam the door! It's such a disgrace to you!"
"Okay, okay, let's eat."
Liu Mo squatted behind the door, hugged his knees, and shed tears silently.
…
The process of buying a house for Xiao Yan's family was not smooth.
After dinner, Chen Xi made an appointment with a real estate agent. The family looked at seven or eight places with the agent, but none of them were satisfied.
Either the community environment is too poor, the distance between buildings, and the parking spaces are unreasonable.
Or there is something wrong with the floor and floor plan.
There is another house that is even more outrageous. The elevator is stopped. When asked, it turned out that the owner had a conflict with the property management. No one took care of it for several days. The house is on the 25th floor, and the agent can no longer deceive him.
Xiao Yan finally realized how troublesome it was to buy a house. His parents helped look at the house in Qianhai City in his previous life, so he didn't worry about it during the whole process.
Returning to the agency's store again, the family of three was a little uninterested.
"Your housing is not very good." Chen Xi complained to the agent.
"The main reason is that your requirements are too high. You need a good location, a good environment, and you have to move in. This kind of house is really hard to find."
The agent said something with a smile and ran out to buy iced drinks for the three of them.
Those who view the house together as a whole family must be high-quality customers. From their words and demeanor, it can be seen that the financial status is at least average, so the agent entertains them very thoughtfully.
The agent said to Chen Xi: "Sister, how about we lower the standards? I have a few rough houses that will definitely meet your requirements."
Chen Xi and Xiao Jiming looked at each other, somewhat moved.
They are not willing to make do with other aspects, so they can consider the rough parts, which is nothing more than spending some energy on decoration.
Xiao Yan looked at the house information posted on the wall with great interest, and one of them caught his eye.
"How did you sell this?" he asked, pointing to the message.
The agent took a look at it and replied casually: "Well, it's a bit expensive."
Xiao Yan asked: "How expensive is it?"
"Almost two million."
"Two million?" Chen Xi was a little curious when he heard it, and asked: "Do we still have a house worth two million?"
The best house in Hubian County only costs more than 5,000 square meters per square meter. How big is 2 million?
She leaned over and took a look, but it was a villa.
"Are you crazy?" Chen Xi bared her teeth and glared at him: "You still want to buy a villa!"
"It's not like I can't afford it!" Xiao Yan stared back with a smile.
When the agent heard the conversation between mother and son, he immediately became energetic. This villa had been listed with him for a long time. The owner was eager to sell it, so he lowered the price and raised the agency fee.
If he really wanted to sell it, he could make a lot of money.
Then he took over and said: "Sister, if your family's conditions permit, this house is definitely worth it. I don't have money. If I had money, I would have bought it myself."
Chen Xi pursed his lips: "For two million, you can go to Qianhai to buy it with a little extra money. Spending two million to buy a house in this small county is just crazy."
Xiao Jiming also shook his head and said: "In this poor place like ours, no matter how nice the house is, it's not worth so much money."
When they said this, the agent became even more confident that they could afford it, and said with a smile: "You get what you pay for, how about we go take a look? It doesn't matter if you don't like it."
Xiao Yan's interest also grew, and he pulled Chen Xi and Xiao Jiming out.
"Let's go around and have a look. It can open your eyes even if you don't buy anything."
