Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Looks Familiar(1/2)
On the way here, Xu Renshan told his wife about some preparations he had made in his hometown.
The new house in Jinjiang Huating has just started to be renovated this year. It will definitely not be possible to move in during the Chinese New Year. Not to mention that my wife is pregnant and has higher requirements for air quality. The newly renovated house will not be able to breathe for a few months.
Since I would definitely go back to my hometown in Lizhou several times this year, it was not suitable to stay in a hotel, so Xu Renshan asked someone to look for a quasi-new house that had been renovated but no one had moved in yet.
In the past few years when housing prices in Lizhou have skyrocketed, investors have a lot of houses in their hands, as well as a lot of houses that have been renovated but not yet occupied.
After checking several house information sent by the agency, Xu Renshan chose a high-rise residence in Longyu Tiancheng. The decoration style was decent, the area was about 140 square meters, and the price was around 2.2 million.
The original owner has renovated the house for more than two years and has not yet moved in. It is almost ready to move in.
When he saw the house, Xu Renshan immediately paid the full price without any intention of bargaining.
It's hard to buy good things when you have money, and the eight-digit balance in his bank card will depreciate anyway.
"When did you buy it?"
After hearing what her brother said, Xu Jiaoqian asked in surprise.
The housing prices in Longyu Tiancheng are only higher than their current Jinshuiwan community. A house costs 15.6 million yuan.
The younger brother didn't even discuss such a big matter with her. It was like he had no elder sister.
"I bought it a few days ago. Didn't I tell you right away?"
Noticing the elder sister's eyes that looked like they were carrying knives, Xu Renshan replied very matter-of-factly.
To be honest, he just bought a house with over two million yuan. His previous investment of more than one billion yuan did not even blink an eye.
In addition, this can also be considered as a preparation for giving my sister a house at the end of the year.
The profit of Yuming Tea Company alone is enough to explain all sources of funds.
"Yuxuan, a man shouldn't have too much pocket money, otherwise he will spend it carelessly."
Seeing her brother's indifferent expression, Xu Jiaoqian spoke to her sister-in-law in a serious tone.
Women are in charge of money, which is the tradition of their old Xu family.
Although she knew that the milk tea chain company opened by her brother had made a lot of money, she couldn't spend it like this if she had money. It wouldn't be a waste if the two brothers didn't come back to live very often.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. There is nothing wrong with being diligent and thrifty in managing your home.
"I know, sister."
Nodding in agreement with her sister's classic quotation, Shi Yuxuan also explained for her husband: "However, we may go back to Lizhou often in the future and buy a house to live in. It is better than staying in a hotel."
Shi Yuxuan still likes the little surprise that her husband has hidden from her.
The house is not expensive, but the decoration style is the European simple style that she likes, which shows that her husband is attentive.
"Sister, Yuxuan is pregnant. She can't come back and stay in a hotel. The sanitary environment is not very good."
After his wife helped him, Xu Renshan gave the strongest reason.
They have gone back to their hometown in Lizhou to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. He can't hide this happy event from his sister anymore, otherwise he may lose his ears in the future.
It just so happens that I take this opportunity to speak out and kill two birds with one stone.
"real?!!!"
Hearing her brother's words, Xu Jiaoqian looked at her sister-in-law next to her in surprise, and then asked excitedly: "How long?"
For Xu Jiaoqian, she now has a stable job, two children, and a happy family. If there is anything else that is her biggest concern now, it is the issue of her younger brother's heirs.
As the only male member of the old Xu family, his younger brother shoulders the important responsibility of passing on the bloodline of the old Xu family. However, the other party has been married quietly for more than half a year, and there is no news from his sister-in-law.
It's better this time. My sister-in-law is pregnant. The Xu family doesn't have to worry about future generations, and they won't be blamed by their ancestors in the future.
Although as a new youth in the 21st century, Xu Jiaoqian should not be so traditional, but having been dependent on her brother since she was a child, she has an unusual sense of responsibility.
The eldest sister is like mother, but she has raised her younger brother as half a child since she was a child.
"Almost a month and a half."
Seeing her sister's surprised look, Shi Yuxuan was very happy.
After other women got pregnant, they all had parents and elders to share their happiness with, but Shi Yuxuan, who didn't have a good relationship with her cousin's family, had no one to share her happiness with except for her cousin.
Now that her husband's sister is here, Shi Yuxuan has tasted the happiness that ordinary women share with their families after pregnancy.
"Is there something wrong with your body?"
At this point in time, Xu Jiaoqian rolled her eyes at her brother who was hiding from her, but she had no time to educate him and immediately became concerned about her sister-in-law's physical condition.
The most important thing now is to let my sister-in-law have a good pregnancy.
"I just went for a physical check-up this morning and everything is fine."
Feeling her sister's heartfelt concern for herself, Shi Yuxuan answered with a smile.
"Really, then you usually..."
Xu Jiaoqian was a little excited and asked a lot of questions, almost forgetting that it was dinner time.
As the sister-in-law, Shi Yuxuan also answered all questions.
Although my sister is not a doctor, as someone who has given birth to twins, Shi Yuxuan still has a lot to ask for advice.
"Brother-in-law, what have you been busy with recently?"
Xu Renshan, who was ignored by his elder sister, ate the food casually and asked his brother-in-law who was sitting next to him.
"What else can I be busy with? Just take care of the city appearance and manage the small stalls and hawkers. Recently, there are several documents a day, and I am so busy that I can't even touch the ground. Well, the focus next week is to rectify the road-occupying business on Nanyuan Road.
..."
When it comes to his work, Xu Baoguo no longer complains as before, but has begun to adapt gradually.
As a qualified public servant, Xu Baoguo will not slack off because of his busy job. It was his own choice to transfer.
At least, he doesn't work so much overtime on weekends now. He can spend time with his wife and children at home, and his family relationship is much more harmonious.
"That's really busy."
Xu Renshan nodded and listened to his brother-in-law's story and echoed.
To be honest, the urban management brigades in other first- and second-tier cities have been established for many years and have mature teams and management mechanisms. However, the urban management brigades in Lizhou, a small county, have only been established for two or three years, and the top management does not pay much attention to team building. It is just dirty work.
All the hard work is done in the city management department.
Seeing his brother-in-law having a headache, Xu Renshan wondered if he could find a chance to help and let his brother-in-law change to a more relaxed position.
You shouldn't need to bother Uncle Shangguan with this matter. You should be able to ask Sister Shangguan for help.
Of course, Xu Renshan shouldn't just talk nonsense before things are done.
When the order comes down, my brother-in-law can naturally move the brick wherever he wants.
"Baoguo, Yuxuan and I will go to the living room to talk for a while. You can clear the table."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, seeing his brother-in-law being rushed to the kitchen to wash dishes, Xu Renshan also took the initiative to help.
In the night breeze, Xu Renshan, his wife, his sister and his family walked out from the gate of the community and arrived at Longyu Tiancheng Community, 500 meters away.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, this is your room key."
After making a phone call to the property manager in advance, Xu Renshan and his wife walked hand in hand to the gate of the community and saw a female staff member running over from a short distance away.
The two little guys, Lele and Xuanxuan, had already taken the lead and ran towards the small fountain not far away, followed by Xu Baoguo and Xu Jiaoqian.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Taking the key, Xu Renshan smiled and thanked him.
Not to mention, the property management of this community is pretty good.
He bought this house before and deposited 50,000 yuan in management fees at the property, part of which was used to pay for regular cleaning by hourly workers.
"It should."
Her eyes fell on the other person's handsome face for a moment, and the female staff member smiled and asked, "Do you need me to take you there?"
"No need, we can just go there by ourselves."
"Then if you have any questions in the future, you can call our office at any time."
"OK."
Nodding, Xu Renshan took his wife's hand and walked forward leisurely.
Soon, the two walked to the fountain in the middle of the community. Seeing this, Xu Jiaoqian shouted to a pair of children: "Lele, Xuanxuan, let's go, let's go see my uncle's new home."
"Okay."
When they heard that they were going to play at their uncle's house, Lele and the others found it even more novel. They quickly recovered from the attraction of the fountain.
Compared with the 120-square-meter house in Xu Jiaoqian's home, this 140-square-meter four-bedroom apartment is obviously much more spacious, and the European simple style makes people feel that the space is very large.
"Wow, my uncle's house is so big."
Apart from anything else, Lele and Xuanxuan's first impression was that their home was bigger than theirs.
