If you buy a courtyard house and the whole family can live in it, in the future Chu Guangming will need a house when he gets married, so at most he will be given one room as a bedroom. It's not as comfortable as it is now. It has a bathroom, a kitchen, and a spacious living room.
Zhang Xiaoming thought for a moment and said: "I doubt that kid has thought of this. It is probably Guangming's idea. Guangming is a good kid. Let's help him, and he also knows how to help others."
Chu Guangming often went to Ye Fan's house recently without mentioning anything about it. Ye Fan couldn't help but say: "And he's very strict."
"That's right." Zhang Xiaoming said, "He asked me not to tell outsiders. I thought you were not an outsider, and you wouldn't spread the word. I just thought you might already know it when I said it. I didn't expect you didn't know." After a pause, Sigh: "This kid is good!"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "We will take the express south on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. We will spend New Year's Eve in the port city and go to the harbor to watch the fireworks. Will you go?"
Zhang Xiaoming pointed at himself: "Me? No, Xiaoying and the children -" suddenly realized something, "Our whole family is going?"
Ye Fan: "Pay for it yourself."
Zhang Xiaoming said without hesitation: "It should be. By the way, shall we go gloriously?"
"He's not free. There are few workers in the factory and we have to work overtime. We have a holiday on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to prepare for next year's Asian Games." Ye Fan said, "Construction is going on."
Zhang Xiaoming: "The construction object is still there?"
Ye Fan responded to Zhang Xiaoming by saying "good things come in hard times". Zhang Xiaoming thought about how he had been on a blind date for many years. If it hadn't been for Cheng Zhenhua's warm-heartedness, he might still be alone today: "You really can't force it. Don't you want to fly?"
Ye Fan: "Planes are not as stable as trains. I would rather go back and forth than worry about being scared along the way."
Ye Fan was speechless and wanted to laugh when he talked about airplanes.
She went to Hong Kong City to buy machines before, and several of her classmates were very excited when they heard about flying. Everyone looked disheveled when they got off the plane. Some are airsick, some are afraid of heights, and some are neither, but when the strong wind encountered a few bumps on the way and the plane bumped a few times, he thought he was going to be doomed, so he kept his feet on the ground and sighed, "It's good to be alive!"
After passing the customs and returning to the mainland, everyone took the initiative to mention taking the train.
Zhang Xiaoming had never flown before and did not dare to take one. Hearing this, he said: "I can go there without taking a plane. Ask Xiaoying later."
Ye Fan was speechless: "As if you can't afford to fly? Others don't know. I don't know. Is that store making a fortune this year?"
Zhang Xiaoming reminded her to keep her voice down.
Yu Wentao's niece and son-in-law were sleeping on top of the two of them. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Brother Xiao Ming, let's get the goods together. Who knows how much each one will earn in one trip? If you say you have no money, I believe my sister-in-law. She The more you earn, the more you spend. You live between home and shop every day, and you don’t smoke or drink. No one will believe you if you say you don’t have money.”
Zhang Xiaoming glared at him: "Next time, go to the Commodity City by yourself!"
Yu Ginkgo's husband ignored him: "Sister-in-law, can I still buy it if the house price is so high?"
There were no students in front of the school during the summer vacation, and Yu Gingxing's husband had no business. He heard that Ye Fan was going north to sell goods, so he went there twice in one summer vacation. With the money earned during the summer vacation and the previous money, it is not difficult to buy an 80-square-meter house.
But now that the house price changes every few days, he always feels that he will lose money if he buys it.
Ye Fan: "Choose one that is close to the school. If your child goes to college, it will be worth it even if the house is expensive."
Zhang Xiaoming said: "Do you know how much it costs to make up a day for Guangming?"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Yu Gingxing sent moon cakes to her aunt. I heard Yu Wentao said that she would spend 30 yuan to study with her all day long. At that time her husband exclaimed: "Grab the money!"
Yu Gingxing's husband nodded and said, "If it's fifty yuan per square meter, even if it's one hundred yuan more, it's still worth it." Then he added, "This is the first time I know how valuable it is to go to a good school."
Sleeping across from him was Yu Wentao's nephew. He went to the south to deliver goods, and by the way, he paid New Year's bonuses and wages to the staff of the Hangzhou office for Ye Fan. He opened his eyes after hearing this: "Those two in your family are not good at studying. If you ask me, you really need to buy another one, give the shop to your son, and give the house to your daughter. Your son will take over your class, and your daughter will go to help in your sister-in-law's shop."< br>
Yu Ginkgo's husband was unhappy: "How well do you and your family study?"
"I will definitely go to a technical secondary school. I have already thought about it. My girl will learn to make clothes, and my boy will learn to repair machines. From now on, I will ask them to work in Chang Da Shao Factory."
Ye Fan was surprised: "I thought you wanted them to become dragons and phoenixes."
He got up: "Our family is stupid. If my sister-in-law hadn't married Uncle Geng, my generation would have been extinct."
Zhang Xiaoming wanted to say how could it be so exaggerated. Suddenly it occurred to me that uncle Yu could not afford a wife before. Although Uncle Yu had a makeshift family, without the help of relatives, Yu Wentao's eldest nephew might have starved to death in 1960.
He added: "If they follow my example of running a business, my daughter will be kidnapped, and my son will be sold to some black coal mine to mine coal." Business is tough every year.”
Ye Fan wanted to praise him but also wanted to laugh: "You are so self-aware."
"I used to think I was pretty good, but compared to the young guys you've been looking for in the past two years, I'm just a solid stick." After he finished speaking, he lay down again, "But, sister-in-law, don't worry, no one would dare to do anything with me. Seven twists and three.”
Ye Fan: "You guys should rest. Go back to the capital and help me move. It will take several days to move the pieces here and there."
On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, several people returned to the capital. On the morning of the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yu Wentao's nephew and niece-in-law came to help. They also called Yu Hongwei and his brother and sister-in-law over.
Chu Guangming took him to help him a little.
Ye Fan kept the porcelain vase containing jade ornaments by himself and asked everyone to help Yu Wentao move it first.
Yu Ginkgo's husband pointed to the Bogu stand: "Sangu, is this mahogany? How about I help you dismantle it?"
Yu Wentao: "Ask your sister-in-law."
Yu Hongwei heard it in the courtyard and asked Ye Fan if he wanted to dismantle the mahogany furniture.
Dabao immediately said: "Demolish it!"
Ye Fan: "Where can I put it if I dismantle it? There is a book shelf in the new home. It is also made of good wood." "Put it in the guest room." Dabao has always thought that the guest room only has one bed and looks shabby. Ye Fan was speechless. The guest room was unoccupied all year round. What's the use of keeping it so well maintained? "You can tear it down and install it."
Dabao nodded: "I asked Uncle Hongwei to help."
Ye Fan: "I have to take care of my children."
Yu Hongwei immediately said that he could leave it to his sister-in-law.
Ye Fan choked and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
The original plan was to finish the work in one day. Dabao needed a Bogu shelf, an Arhat bed, and a wardrobe. It was not until the 20th night of the twelfth lunar month that everything was completed.
Except for the vegetables in the courtyard, Ye Fan's family kept everything clean. Ye Fan came over for the last time, and Aunt Li came over to take a look and said, "You can rent it out."
Ye Fan: "Ask my mother-in-law later. She will rent it out if she doesn't mind the trouble."
"What's the trouble? There are so many rooms in your house that people can live in. If you rent them all out, you can pay for groceries." Aunt Li said enthusiastically, "I'll ask you later. Find some people you can get along with."
However, Han Dawei approached Ye Fan first and offered to rent it to his sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
People there didn't dare to come out. Han Dawei proved with practical actions that you can make money by working hard, so his brother-in-law and sister-in-law wanted to come out and give it a try. Han Dawei made an agreement with Chang Guangrong that the woman would work in his factory and the man would sell braised pork.
Han Dawei sells cold dishes and breakfast and has no time to pack the braised food. He also decided to hand over the breakfast stall to his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law when they came over, and he would sell breakfast in the store. The popularity there had increased in the past two years, and there were no less people who didn't want to make breakfast than here.
Ye Fan then signed a contract with him, and the rent would be paid to Yu Wentao every three months starting from February of the Gregorian calendar.
Yu Wentao calculated the monthly rent and couldn't finish buying cauliflower. After Han Dawei left, she asked Ye Fan: "Should we also rent out the old house?"
Ye Fan: "I don't have time to go to the old house."
Geng Huihui came out from behind: "Auntie, I'm free."
Ye Fan: "But there are still a lot of things in that room. Are you going to clean them up with Dabao and Erbao?"
Geng Huihui: "Who will pay the rent to?"
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows: "Who do you think it should be given to?"
There are two unemployed people in the family, so Geng Huihui is naturally embarrassed to compete with her younger siblings for this little money: "I think we can find a biscuit box or a chocolate box, put the money in the box, and then put it in grandma's house to use as our pocket money." .”
Ye Fan: "You discuss it with Dabao and Erbao. They think it's troublesome, but you can't blame me for not being able to live."
Geng Huihui went to the back room to look for Dabao.
Dabao asked her if her luggage was packed.
I will go south to Hong Kong City tomorrow afternoon. I will stay out for half a month and need to pack a few sets of clothes. Geng Huihui didn't pack anything. Geng Huihui whispered: "If you don't have any clothes or shoes over there, ask your aunt to buy them."
Dabao was stunned for a moment, and immediately put the clothes back, taking only one set of change of clothes.
In the afternoon, Geng Huihui took the bus to her parents' house and left a letter to her parents. In fact, it only had four words - going on a trip!
Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye to call Geng Benben again. There was no one at home, so don't take a vacation after the new year.
The next day, the door was closed and the family left in great numbers. But not including Geng Sensen and Geng Leilei. Geng Sensen is in a state-owned unit and is very busy at the end of the year. Geng Leilei is following the project. However, the two brothers couldn't go if they had time. A few days ago, Ye Fan received a call from Yang Mengxia. Her father was seriously ill and asked Ye Fan to remind the two children to go south immediately because their workplace was on holiday.
It was the first time for Dabao, Erbao, Chu Guangming and others to come out. It was very strange along the way - it was covered in ice for thousands of miles when we set out. After a nap, we opened our eyes to greenery. After another nap, it was summer and we were as excited as if we were coming from the mountains. Just like it came out.
Seeing them so happy, Ye Fan felt that just being in the car was worth the price of admission.
In order not to miss the New Year's Eve fireworks, Ye Fan and his party passed the customs when they arrived in Pengcheng. Fortunately, I completed the formalities early and arrived in Pengcheng without much delay.
Ye Liangliang was also there during this trip. Looking at the fireworks in the sky, she jumped up and down happily and exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, it’s so nice here!"
Before Ye Fan spoke, Chen Xiaohui said: "These fireworks are bought from the mainland."
Ye Liangliang opened her eyes wide in shock.
Chen Xiaohui nodded to make sure she heard correctly: "There is a place in the mainland that has more fireworks than these and is more beautiful than these."
Ye Liangliang: "Why didn't I know?"
"You don't know that it's as hot as summer in the south. Our country is so big, you don't know how many places there are." Chen Xiaohui said, "That place is far from the capital, and a trip there is about the same as a visit to Hong Kong. Do you want to go? I’ll take you there during the summer vacation.”
Ye Liangliang nodded repeatedly, and then went to find her sister Erbao.
Ye Fan: "Children have good memories."
"I didn't lie to her." Chen Xiaohui said, "If I hadn't said this in time, she would definitely come here to study and settle down in the future. I lost my sister-in-law's only daughter when I went out, and my sister-in-law would have hated us both. If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken her with me. She comes.”
Ye Fan smiled: "Should I thank you?"
Chen Xiaohui nodded: "Send me a brand-name bag!"
Ye Fanxin said, how rude: "Every time you go to work, you dress like someone who picks up rags. Even if you carry something real, people will think it's fake and think you're vain!"
