Han Aiguo was shaken by her so that the corners of his mouth turned up, and he held her hand. Her waist, “Tell me, what do you want?”
After he saw through it at a glance, Su Yue chuckled and said directly: “Let’s buy a house in the provincial city so that Aimin can stidy in school and live in it, and it can be used by our family in the future to stay. The provincial capital here will be a first-tier city in the future, with a developed economy and frightening housing prices. Buying a house now is a very good deal. If you don’t buy it now, it will be worse. ”
Han Aiguo has always agreed to her requests, and will help to implement them after agreeing. At this moment, he thought about it for a moment before nodding and agreed, “Then I will find out if there are any in the provincial capital. If I find out about the house that is on sale, I will take you to see it.”
Su Yue rushed to him and kissed him, her eyes flickering at him, full of admiration, how could she have such a wonderful husband.
No man could bear to be looked at by a woman like this, let alone his beloved woman. Han Aiguo couldn’t bear it anymore. Immediately, a tingling sensation spread to his limbs. He stopped talking and quickly pressed her down. After peeling off their clothes apart again as it counts as a errand fees and thank you fees for him.
——
Han Aiguo moved quickly. Within half a month, he found a nice house. It was in the center of the provincial capital, opposite a high school. The location was very good, and it was convenient to go to and from school. It was very suitable for Su Yue.requirements.
The owner is eager to transfer because he is anxious to move to another province and will never come back again.
Su Yue was moved when she heard about the location. The location was in the city center. Not only would it be convenient for her children to go to school, it would be even more convenient for her to open a private restaurant.
When buying this house, she not only considered the appreciation in value and her children’s education, but also considered her future career. She had opened a private restaurant in her previous life. This was her career and her lifelong hobby, and she would not give up in this life either. Although it is not possible at the moment, when the reform and opening up takes place in a few years, she will open her own private restaurant in the house she bought.
But she hasn’t said this to anyone yet.
Taking advantage of Han Aiguo’s rest that day, the two decided to take their two children to look at the house. After all, they were going to the provincial capital. They might as well take Old Mrs. Han with them and go shopping. Going to the provincial capital in this era is very difficult and is a occasion to be happy about.
Sure enough, knowing that her son was going to take her to visit the provincial capital, Mrs. Han was so happy that she got up early in the morning and put on her best clothes. Her hair was neatly combed, not to mention she was very energetic.
Dabao and Xiaobao knew that their parents were taking them out to play. Although they didn’t know what the provincial capital was, it didn’t affect their excitement at all. After the two little ones got dressed, they pulled on Su Yue’s pants and looked at her eagerly, kept urging: “Mom, walk quickly, walk quickly.”
Su Yue pinched the fat on their fat faces, “Eat breakfast before leaving.”
The two of them ran to the dining table obediently, climbed onto the dining table and sat down obediently, holding spoons with their mouths open, as if they were waiting for food.
Su Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she thought about it. From the birth of the two children to the present, They have never been out, and have not even taken them to the commune. Having grown up in this family compound, it is inevitable to be excited about going out.
After the family finished their meal quickly, they headed towards the gate. They had to take a shuttle bus to the commune first, and then take a bus from the commune to the provincial capital.
The two children had never been in a car before, so they were very happy to sit in the car. Dabao was quite well-behaved, and sat on Su Yue’s lap without moving. He just looked at the scenery outside the window curiously with his dark eyes. When he sees something interesting, he points out the window and calls out “Mom”. At this time, Su Yue only needs to lower her head and kiss him and he will be happy.
However, Xiaobao was so naughty that he couldn’t sit still at all. He stood on Han Aiguo’s lap and leaned against the window with his butt sticking out, looking out, exclaiming “Wow, wow, ah, ah, ah, ah” from time to time, just like a country bumpkin generally.
The two little guys were chubby, white and tender, and their facial features inherited Su Yue’s exquisiteness. They were very cute. They looked exactly the same. Most of the people in the car were attracted to them and looked at them. The little guy’s lovely words and actions revealed a kind smile. Some old people even praised their two children to Mrs. Han, which made Mrs. Han talk about her grandchildren with great interest. She couldn’t stop talking, which was also funny.
Two hours later, the family of five finally arrived in the provincial capital and found the transferred house according to the address.
This is a half-sized courtyard. It is located at the entrance of an alley. It is very easy to find. The area is neither big nor small. Although it is a bit shabby, the layout is quite good, especially there is a courtyard inside. Su Yue likes it very much. In the future, the children don’t have to worry about having no place to play, and it’s also very convenient to dry their clothes and quilts.
The house is divided into two parts, the front and the back. There are three rooms in the front and three rooms in the back. Next to the yard are the toilet and kitchen, and a well.
Although there are not many rooms, it can be built into a two-story building in the future, which will have enough space, and the front can be used as her private restaurant, and the back can be used as a family residence.
After looking at everything inside and out, Su Yue liked this yard very much, but she didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she asked the homeowner with a bit of hesitation: “How much do you want for this yard?”
They are a middle-aged and elderly couple. The man said: “I won’t hide it from you. We, the old couple, have lived in this house for more than ten years. We built every brick and tile by ourselves. If it weren’t for the fact that our only son has settled in another province, They want to take us there for retirement, but we, the old couple, are reluctant to sell it. We are in a hurry to leave now, and we won’t open our mouths. This house is sincerely priced at 5,500 yuan. If you can accept it, I will sell it to you.”
” Five thousand five hundred yuan?” Old Mrs. Han was startled at first and started to bargain: “This is too expensive. Please give us little less price. I think this house is very old. If we want to live in it, there are many places that need to be repaired, which is a lot of money. Calculated inside and out, it is not cost-effective for us.”
The hostess waved her hand, “The price we want is already low enough. You go and look elsewhere. You can’t buy such a big yard for 5,500 yuan.”
Old Mrs. Han said, “But the house is too shabby. If it were new, we wouldn’t need to repair it. For 5,500 yuan, I can live in it, but we have to spend money to repair many parts of your house. This is estimated to cost several hundred to one thousand yuan, which adds up to a lot. If we have to give much money, we might as well buy something else that is better. That is to say, we only talked to you because you and your wife have been sincere. Since everyone is sincere, you can give in a little. ”
Su Yue and Han Aiguo looked at each other and silently admired Mrs. Han. When it came to bargaining, she was still a good old lady. She took the initiative to step aside and let the old lady play freely.
Mrs. Han and the owner of the house, you and me. They talked for more than half an hour, and don’t know how much talk they wasted because one wanted to sell and the other wanted to buy, and finally the deal was settled for five thousand yuan.
Su Yue felt that buying such a yard for five thousand yuan was really worth it. In her opinion, this was such a good bargain from the perspective of future development. She immediately went to the relevant departments with the owner couple to go through the purchase and sale procedures, transferred the property rights of the house to her own name, and then handed over the money she brought in front of everyone.
The couple didn’t expect the buyer to be so forthcoming. They thought it would take a few months to sell the house, but they didn’t expect it to be done so quickly. Although it was 500 yuan less than expected, She was still very happy in her heart. After bidding farewell to Su Yue’s family politely, she gave the key to Su Yue and the couple left.
With the key in her hand, Su Yue was extremely happy, even though all the money in her hand was spent. She was about to become a pauper, but looking at the huge yard in front of her, thinking that this yard was hers, her heart bubbled up. She immediately waved her hand and said to Dabao and Xiaobao: “Let’s go, mom will take you to see our new house! ”
Dabao and Xiaobao immediately responded to their mother’s call and followed behind her to play.
Old Mrs. Han and Han Aiguo walked behind. Although the old lady was also happy, she was very hurt, “Aiguo, what are you doing? Yueyue had to buy so expensive house. It cost five thousand yuan in one go. All her money must have been spent on this house. What will you do in the future? You still have two children to raise. ”
Han Aiguo patted her shoulder and said, “Mom, what’s there to worry about? When has your daughter-in-law ever done anything unreliable? She will definitely not suffer a loss if she wants to buy it. Besides, if the money is gone, I still have a subsidy, which is enough to support our family. ”
Hearing what her son said, Mrs. Han waved her hands and said, “Forget it, you’ve bought everything. I won’t talk about it anymore. We can still live a little more frugally in the future. ”
Han Aiguo smiled and told Su Yue to wait here and he will go to the high school to talk to the principal about Han Aimin coming to school.
Su Yue asked him to go, and she took Mrs. Han and the two children to look at the house and figure out what needed repair and what things should be purchased for Han Aimin to come and live in.
After the two of them had made their plans, Han Aiguo also came back from school and said to Su Yue: “Once the matter is settled, just let the fourth child come to school directly when the new semester starts.”
Mrs. Han was very happy, “Now the fourth child can come over, and I can take care of him in the future. He is just growing up. If he doesn’t eat well, he will definitely not grow up. At home, he has those stingy two sisters-in-law. How can they give the fourth child something good to eat? This kid is just growing tall. Not gaining weight, getting thinner year by year. ”
Su Yue knew that Mrs. Han was thinking about the fourth child, so she patted her shoulder and comforted her: “Mom, when the fourth child comes to school, we can come here to the compound when we have time. We will give him a good care and we can see each other often in the future.”
Old Mrs. Han nodded endlessly.
The situation in the house was almost done. Thinking that there was another important purpose today, Su Yue took the family to the street, “Let’s go and have a nice walk. It’s a rare visit to the city. ”
Although the current provincial capital looks very shabby in Su Yue’s eyes, it is still much better than the villages and communes. At least it is neat and clean, and there are many large and small cars. Dabao and Xiaobao are like country bumpkins entering the city. The two brothers held hands and walked and ran, looking here and there curiously.
There are no entertainment projects in the city these days, except for movie theaters. But the movie theaters are only visited by young people who are in love. Their family is very old and taking children is not suitable, and the current movies are really not interesting, so she just ruled it out.
However, there are people selling melon seeds and ice water in front of the cinema, as well as ice cream and popsicles. The weather is getting hot now, Su Yue then bought two ice creams, one for Mrs. Han to try, and the other for herself and her two children to eat.
The eyes of the two children were bright when they saw the ice cream, especially the snack lover Xiaobao, who was so greedy that he licked his lips, he hugged Su Yue’s calf and shouted: “Mom, give me a bite. ”
Dabao also swallowed secretly and stared at the ice cream in Su Yue’s hand.
Although the weather was hot, Su Yue didn’t worry about letting her child eat such cold food. It would be bad if he had a fever and diarrhea, so she said: “This is too expensive, we can’t afford so much. Let’s share it. Dad and mom will take a bite first, and then I’ll give you two, okay?”
Although Xiaobao is a greedy little cat, he is willing to share. He nodded immediately and urged: “Mom, dad, hurry up. ”
Su Yue snickered in her heart, opened her mouth and took a bite. She ate a quarter of the ice cream in one bite. It was so cold that she took a breath, and it took her a while to swallow it.
Dabao and Xiaobao looked disappointed. A large piece of popsicle made a dull “Ah” sound. Dabao blinked, twisted his little hands, and looked at Su Yue closely without saying anything. But Xiaobao became anxious and pulled Su Yue’s trouser legs to jump up. “Mommy mommy! ”
Su Yue ignored him, handed the ice cream to Han Aiguo again, winked at him, and said: “Mom has eaten, now it’s dad’s turn to take a bite. Dad usually works so hard to make money, so I must give him a bite.”
The two children could not refute, they could only stare at Han Aiguo nervously, for fear that their father would eat as much as their mother.
Han Aiguo took the ice cream with a smile in his eyes, and bit off half of the ice cream in one bite under the nervous gaze of the two children, only a few trembling little bites remained.
Dabao pursed his lips, but tried hard not to cry. Xiaobao couldn’t bear it anymore, and immediately cried “Wow”, wiping his eyes with blurry tears. Said: “Dad is bad, mom is bad!”
Su Yue felt no guilt and handed the remaining ice cream to his mouth, “Then do you want to eat it? If you don’t eat it, mom will eat it all. ”
Hearing this, Xiaobao immediately stopped crying and reached out eagerly.
He took the ice cream, opened his mouth wide, and bit it in one bite, as if he was afraid that the last bit would be eaten by his mother again.
However, he still remembered his brother, so he left a bite in the end and handed the ice cream to Dabao reluctantly.
Dabao took it. He didn’t swallow it like Xiaobao. Instead, he licked it slowly under Xiaobao’s eager eyes. He licked it as he walked and ate the ice cream for a long time. Xiaobao was so attracted by Dabao’s way of eating that he almost couldn’t stand it. While walking, he watched Dabao eat ice cream and kept swallowing saliva. Su Yue almost burst out laughing at the sight.
Not far away, Su Yue happened to see a bookstore on the roadside. With a thought, she took her two children inside. It happened that the two children had reached the age of enlightenment. She bought some simple books to educate them and teach them how to read.
The two children were also very curious about the bookstore. They raised their heads and looked around curiously. Su Yue let them run and looked along the bookshelves one by one. She found that there were not many books in it, except for Chinese quotations and some expired Journals, magazines, or textbooks for each grade, but she didn’t need any of these.
At this moment, Dabao ran over and tugged on her pants, pointing to a bookshelf in the corner to show her, “Mom, I want to buy it!”
Su Yue followed him and found many children sitting on the side reading, abd the shelf is filled with little books and pictures. There are many rich pictures in them that even children who don’t know how to read can understand them. No wonder Dabao fell in love with them.
Su Yue made a selection and bought two little books for her two children and a children’s story. After paying, the family left the bookstore.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Yue went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bottle of Vaseline, a box of balm for the old lady, and a box of cream for herself to wipe her face with. There was no way, there were not as many skin care products in this era as in later generations, you can only use this protection to protect your skin from dryness and cracking. The prices of these skin care products are not cheap, but few people use them, and they are not as popular as daily necessities, so they don’t require tickets, which is very good for Su Yue.
Old Mrs. Han had no interest in skin care products. She kept staring at the fabric and wool counter. Finally, she spent money and tickets to buy some fabric and wool, and then went back to make clothes and knit sweaters for the two little guys.
After all the shopping was done, the family ended their trip to the provincial capital and headed back home. They visited many places that day. Except for Han Aiguo, everyone else was tired. The two children even fell asleep on the way back and didn’t wake up until they got home.
————
Han Aimin arrived at the army within two days of returning from the provincial capital. Knowing that he would not have to go back to study in the village in the future, he was very happy and well prepared. He packed his clothes, daily necessities, schoolbags, books, etc. They were all packed and brought over. What surprised Su Yue even more was that he actually sold the bicycle he had been using in his hometown, and gave the money and tickets to Su Yue as soon as they met.
“Sister-in-law, the bicycle is yours. I originally wanted to bring it here to use, but I couldn’t bring it on the train. My third sister-in-law knew that I was coming here to study, so she came to me and told me that I couldn’t use it anyway. She got in and asked me to leave the car to her. I said I would sell it to her at a low price, but she scolded me for not treating her as a family member. I thought she just wanted to take advantage of me, so I didn’t tolerate her, and immediately found someone to sell. After selling the bicycle, although the price is thirty yuan less, I still got a bicycle ticket so that my sister-in-law can buy another one here.”
It had to be said that Su Yue was very satisfied with this kid’s performance. She laughed loudly, patted his shoulder, and asked: “Then was your third sister-in-law angry with you?”
Han Aimin chuckled, “No, when she knew I sold the car, her face turned pale. She was so angry that she didn’t even give me food to eat, but I’m not afraid of her either. I have money, I can eat anywhere.”
Su Yue especially liked this boy’s quick energy and said, “I’ll go to buy one again tomorrow.”
