【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 148 The Impoverished Mother-in-Law in the Period Literature 28

The chicken bone soup base, the wontons and dumplings cooked in it were all very delicious. Yun Xi drank two large bowls, and Zhou Tingyu and Zhou Guanxue ordered three bowls of dumplings and ate them all, including the soup. The children also burped from eating.

"Madam, how much is it in total?"

"five yuan."

"Okay, you have good skills."

"Hey, I hope you eat well."

auv?

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, nodded, and left with a smile.

We passed by a grocery store and bought a few bottles of mineral water. We each got one to drink when we were thirsty in the evening.

"Give me the clothes later and I'll wash them."

Yun Xi was worried about the cleanliness of the washing machine, so she planned to wash it with washing machine cleaning liquid first, and then wash the clothes with the strong laundry detergent she bought from the system.

Zhou Tingyu said awkwardly, "Mom, we don't need to wear pants anymore, right?"

"Of course not. You can just leave that and your socks in your room and wash them. You'll get sick if you try to throw them in the washing machine."

Yun Xi was disgusted.

She let Dadan take her younger brothers to take a bath and go to bed while she went to take care of the clothes. She would make sure they were washed clean before coming back, and then distribute them to each room and hang them next to the radiator.

When she returned to the house, the children were already asleep. Yun Xi took a shower, sat next to the radiator to dry her hair, covered the children with quilts before going to bed, took a quilt and fell asleep on the sofa.

The house with heating was not cold at all in the middle of the night. Yun Xi slept soundly. In her dream, she bought many houses and made a lot of money from rent every month.

After waking up from the dream, Yun Xi felt lost and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The system laughed at her, "Buy a lot of houses? Houses in the capital city cost 1,910 square meters. How many can you afford with that little money?"

"At least you can buy a courtyard house. You will definitely become rich in the future if you keep it."

Yun Xi has thought it through. Buying an apartment is not cost-effective. It would be better to buy a courtyard house, which will appreciate in value in the future.

Yun Xi remembered that there was a star who came to the capital to film a movie. He was persuaded to buy eight courtyard houses at once. At that time, he was ridiculed for buying junk. But what happened in the end? Ten or twenty years later, who wouldn’t envy him?

The price of a medium-sized courtyard house is about 500,000 yuan, and she has 600,000 yuan in her savings account, which is enough.

I went to try the famous douzhi for breakfast. I only ordered one bowl. Everyone took a sip and spit it into the trash can with a bitter face. Half a bowl was left and no one could finish it. Zhao Guohong couldn't bear to see the waste, so he picked up the bowl, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp, sipping it for a long time.

"Idiot, if you can't get used to it, don't drink it. Why are you trying so hard?" Yun Xi handed over a fried dough stick, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Hurry up and change the taste of it."

"A bowl costs a few cents."

Zhao Guohong smiled innocently.

In the morning, we drank soy milk and ate fried dough sticks, at noon we had roast duck, and in the evening we had a banquet. I also bought each of us a down jacket and pants. At the end of the day, we didn't do any real work.

"I'm going to deliver something to Lingling tomorrow, and I'll also go find the real estate agent to ask if there's any house for sale."

Lingling studies at a 211 college and is guaranteed a job after graduation. She envies those who have a stable job.

"Fourth Uncle, Auntie, why are you here? Did you have a smooth journey? Is everything okay at home?"

"Let's go to the capital and take a look around. How are you these days? Is studying hard? Your parents are doing well. I asked them to bring you something. Can you see if there's anything missing?"

Zhou Fu asked with concern.

"My mother likes to send me food and clothes. They're not precious things, so Uncle Si can eat whatever he wants." Zhou Lingling said gently and generously, "Everything is fine at school. I go to the library to read every day and occasionally go out with my tutor to meet people. There's not much pressure."

Zhou Fu took out a big red envelope and said, "That's fine. This is the red envelope that Fourth Uncle gave you. Take it and have something delicious. This place is far away, so we won't be coming over for the New Year. Are you going back during the summer vacation? Niuniu will be in sixth grade next year, which is a critical time."

Zhou Lingling simply refused a few times before accepting it, saying that she would go back for the summer vacation and would be happy to teach the children.

The two sides chatted about the recent situation of Zhou Lingling's family and then parted.

Zhou Lingling returned to the dormitory. In the four-person dormitory, only one person had returned home, and the other three were all there. She climbed onto the bed and opened the red envelope. There was indeed 20 yuan in it. When she opened the package, she found that it was not the cotton-padded clothes and food she had expected, but a set of bedding with a letter and 200 yuan inside.

"It seems that the family really makes money."

One of my roommates asked curiously, "Lingling, what did your family send you?"

"Quilts and bedding. I called home and said I was cold, and my mother remembered it." Zhou Lingling smiled and didn't mention the money.

"The place where Lingling studies is really grand. There's a big gate and it looks like there's a car parked inside." Zhao Guohong was envious.

Zhou Tingyu nodded. "Lingling was so rustic when she was little, like a naughty monkey. Now look at her now that she's in college, she's so polite and generous. She's really different. Niuniu, you guys should study hard and try to get into college too."

Wang Lili patted Dadan on the shoulder and said, "Did you hear that? Study hard."

"Oh, Mom, I know!"

Dadan held his head and ran to the other side.

"This kid!"

Yun Xi kept paying attention to the names of the shops along the way. When she saw a real estate agency by chance, she quickly led her people in.

"Are you looking to buy or rent a house? We have a lot of houses here and the prices are affordable."

The salesperson was a little scared when he saw so many people. Could they be looking for trouble after being cheated?

Zhou Tingyu glanced at his mother and said, "Show us some houses."

"Okay, come and take a look. We have pictures and maps of the houses. You can see the interior of the house clearly at a glance, and the surrounding environment is also very clear. You can also ask for school district housing or other requirements. Apartments and large villas are popular recently, and we have a lot of houses here."

The salesperson had no idea of ​​their situation and tentatively took out pictures of buildings and villas.

Yun Xi was not in a hurry to state her purpose. Don't be too eager when buying things, and don't state your purpose too early, otherwise there won't be much room for bargaining.

Several children came over to look at the house, and after looking at it for a while, they all said that it was not as convenient as their home.

"If there's someone running around upstairs every day, wouldn't that be too noisy?"

“The buildings are too small.”

"Yeah, the top floor is big enough, but it's too high! More than ten floors, it looks scary."

……

The children were talking to each other, pushing away the house drawings with disdain and looking at the villa drawings. The salesman muttered to himself, "Your house seems so good."

"Dad, this villa is nice. It looks just like home."

"Don't talk nonsense. Our home is just a small house in the countryside. It can't compare to a villa." Zhou Tingyu scolded, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the villa. Rural people still prefer to live in separate houses. It's convenient to grow some vegetables in the yard and raise chickens.

"Mom and Dad, do you have any ideas?"

Zhou Guanxue picked up a picture of a villa and handed it to Yun Xi. Yun Xi looked at it and said, "The house is nice, but it shouldn't be in the city center, right?"
