Chapter Fifty-Four: Buying a House

  My uncle has been busy with company and house buying matters every day since he came back.

  After the uncle found the owner of that land and paid the money at once, he began to plan to find someone to build a high-rise building on that land. He found many contractors, and finally found a relatively honest and responsible contractor, signed an agreement, and started work quickly. Of course, during this period, Uncle Dad and Mom also found relationships, entrusted people with things, and found Wu Hanwen's father. After handling many certificates, the construction of that land was ensured to be legal.

  Considering that the high-rise building on that land won't be completed in a year or two, my uncle started planning to buy a house. My uncle went to many property sales offices of various neighborhoods, such as Xianghao Garden, Yinxia Jiayuan, and Bailingyuan.

  One day at lunch, my uncle said: "Sister, brother-in-law, I've seen many sales offices recently and think that Jingyaxia community is the best. The building has good lighting, large floor area, not too high a floor, more sunny rooms, and it's just started selling with many discounts. Most importantly, I think the location is great, the environment is very good, there are entertainment facilities for the elderly and children, and the price is reasonable, so I've decided on that one."

  Mom said: "Oh, classic and elegant, it's not far from our home either, that place is pretty good."

  "Sister, you think so too. But sister, I'm planning to buy two sets, one set for Xianfeng in the future. Do you want to buy some too? It's a good deal now."

  "My mother said, 'What about us? Let's talk about it later, we don't even know when this place will be demolished yet. We're used to living here too. Besides, I wanted to use this money to help your sister's husband open a big hotel, but he said Mr. Lu had helped him greatly and that's true, both of us have received kindness from others, now thinking about going solo is also worrisome.'"

  Dad was scolded by mom for secretly trading stocks, and now he's just following her orders without saying a word. I couldn't sit still anymore, buying a house is really a good investment now, in five years the housing prices will skyrocket, when our place gets demolished, the housing prices will be ridiculously high, some people can't even afford to buy one house in their lifetime.

  I smiled and said, "Mom, let's just buy a house, when we're relocated in the future, it'll be great to live near Uncle and his family. You can also take care of Grandma more easily. Besides, decorating a new house is cheaper now, who knows what the situation will be like in the future? We have money on hand now, so we should invest it. If we just leave it sitting there, it'll only depreciate. You've noticed how prices are rising, right? Clothes are more expensive than before too. Otherwise, when we're relocated in the future, our money might only be enough to buy one house, what then? Cousin has a house, I want one too... And the money Dad and I made from stocks is over 6 million, plenty to spare."

  I exaggeratedly and coquettishly described the situation afterwards. My mom laughed and said, "Oh my, our baby is afraid of not having a house to live in? Your uncle bought a house for your cousin as their future marital home, you want one too?"

  "I want it, I want it." My mom teased me and said: "You're really not afraid of losing face. Look at your uncle, he's lowering his head when he hears about the wedding house. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, your dad said that you also encouraged him to trade stocks, and you secretly invested some money too. Tell me the truth, where did the money come from?"

  I pouted and said, "Dad, you're selling me out." "Hurry up, don't try to be funny." "It's just that someone paid for the writing, don't worry, it's a legitimate source." "What? No wonder you always liked to scribble around on the table, I didn't know you were busy with this kind of thing and actually made some money from it."

  Cousin brother said with a smile: "Aunt, it's not just earning some money, but should have earned a lot. Cousin sister must not have given all the money to uncle for stock investment. The things cousin sister wrote are quite popular, including Conan that dad bought yesterday, and also diary of girls, diary of boys, and bad kids in class 5-3, etc. She only told her about Conan, but I saw the others when she was taking a nap. Hehe, sorry cousin sister, you've already said you wrote it, so I'll just say everything now. This secret has been kept by me for a long time, and finally I can share it with someone."

  I stared at my brother for a while, and he revealed all my secrets. My mom was a bit unbelievable, saying "Oh my god, baby is really that capable?" I nodded, and my mom came over to hug me, saying "I really gave birth to a talented girl! Let's talk about that Conan, your dad hasn't even seen it yet, I didn't expect it to be from our baby's hands. Your little brain is full of weird things... Since it's something you worked hard for, I won't take it away from you. But now that you're in 6th grade, you need to be careful, don't fail to get into the top middle school, or you'll regret it later."

  "Mom, don't worry, I absolutely won't affect my grades."

  "It's time for the mid-term exam, I'll see how you do this time. Let me tell you something, I've decided that we're going to buy a house, and not just one, but two!" "Yay yay yay, mom is so awesome!" "What?" "I mean it's great, really considerate." I was too excited, and the words just came out, "Stop flattering me, you always do this."

  "Uncle also laughed and said: 'Really didn't think my niece is a talented girl, no wonder that day you saw Conan's suit and smiled foolishly, it turns out so, say, what do you want, uncle will give you another gift.'"

  "No need, Uncle bought Conan for me to accompany him, don't let Uncle spend more money, Uncle has been busy lately too."

  "Xiao Xiao is still angry with Uncle, speak up."

  "Well, Uncle, I heard that Huagong has a new self-service restaurant, so please take our whole family there on Friday night to have a meal. Reward our stomachs and relieve your hard work for many days."

  "That's still a matter of one sentence. By the way, brother-in-law, when you and sister are free, let's go to the sales office and buy the house?"

  After discussion, they decided to go on Saturday morning, my cousin and I, and grandma can also come along. On Saturday, we arrived at the sales office of Jingdianya, the sales lady enthusiastically introduced us to the house, as soon as she heard that we wanted to buy four suites and pay the full amount in one go, her face lit up with a smile, busy running around, extremely enthusiastic.

  In the end, my uncle bought a second-floor and a fourth-floor unit. He said that the first floor was damp and not good, but in order to let my grandmother climb fewer stairs, he chose the second floor. My mother, on the other hand, chose two third-floor units, saying that if they felt too small later, they could always connect the two units together to live in.
