Chapter 127 Farewell to Ping'an County
"Aunt Rong, you can have my shop too."
"When Uncle Long comes out, you go to the department store to watch the shop, and Uncle Long will be in charge of delivering the goods."
"I don't need any money, can you give Xiaopeng a discount?"
Li Fang said with a smile.
"Xiaofang, you're closing your stationery store down too?" Xu Rong asked anxiously.
"I'm not doing it anymore." Li Fang nodded.
"Qingshu is going to teach in the provincial capital, and we're also planning to have a child. I'm going to be a housewife for a few years."
Her face was full of happiness.
"That's right, having children is the most important thing," Xu Rong said with a smile. "Xiao Fang, you tell me, how much is the transfer fee?"
The People's Department Store has a large customer flow and does very good business.
“You don’t need to give me money.” Li Fang shook her head. “Just give Pengdi a discount of one thousand yuan.”
According to the agreement just now, Wang Peng needs to write an IOU for 70,000 yuan, plus the stationery wholesale business, in exchange for the Li family's Santana car.
After considering for a few seconds, Li Fang said, "Okay, it's settled then."
"No, are you all asking for my opinion?" Wang Peng said, both amused and exasperated.
“Aunt Xu, give that thousand yuan to Sister Fang, and I’ll write you an IOU for seventy thousand yuan,” he said.
"No way!" Li Fang glared. "Listen to me, the number 70,000 is unlucky."
The siblings were polite to each other for a long time, but in the end Wang Peng compromised and accepted his cousin's kindness.
He wrote an IOU to Xu Rong and signed a transfer contract.
She transferred all her stationery inventory, delivery tricycles, and customers in the county and countryside to Xu Rong.
The next day, he drove his Santana to the vehicle management office to complete the car transfer procedures.
This is his first car across both lifetimes.
A few days later, news suddenly came from the relevant departments that the demolition compensation had been received.
Wang Peng went to the bank immediately to check and found that there was an extra 40,000 yuan in his account.
When his house was demolished, he chose to receive a 100-square-meter house as compensation, plus 40,000 yuan in compensation.
Wang Peng withdrew 30,000 yuan to pay off his debts.
The debt is still 39,000.
“Aunt Xu, I will pay off the remaining debt as soon as the developer hands over the property,” Wang Peng said.
"No rush," Xu Rong laughed. "I'm not short of money now, haha."
Her compensation for the demolition also arrived in her account, instantly turning her family into one with 100,000 yuan in savings.
"Xiaopeng, how about this?" Xu Rong said, "I'll give you some more money, and you can use the demolished house to pay off your debt."
“That won’t do.” Wang Peng shook his head. “Ping’an County is my hometown, and I definitely need to have a house there.”
In another ten years or so, the housing prices here will rise to 7,000 yuan per square meter, and 100 square meters would cost 700,000 yuan.
It can only be sold for 40,000 now.
Even with inflation, he still wanted to wait until the price rose to 700,000 before selling.
The relevant departments convened a meeting with all residents affected by the demolition and demanded that they all move out within ten days.
Wang Peng's home is filled with old furniture and has nothing of value.
Transporting it to the provincial capital wouldn't be cost-effective, so I simply disposed of all the furniture at a low price.
I packed up my clothes, blankets, and other valuables, and drove my cousin and her husband to the provincial capital.
Cars speed along the highway.
"Brother Peng, what are your thoughts on leaving your hometown of Ping'an County, where you've lived for eighteen years?" Chen Qingshu asked with a smile.
"I don't really have any particular thoughts; my days are quite fulfilling," Wang Peng said.
These past three years since my rebirth have been alright.
Not only did he get into university, but he also received a car and had 40,000 yuan in savings.
“Brother Peng, the Wenxin Garden community has been handed over to residents. Once you pay the final payment, the house is yours.”
“My dad went to check out the apartments in the neighborhood, and they were all unfinished. They definitely need to be renovated before we can move in.”
Do you have enough money for renovations?
Chen Qingshu asked.
“That’s enough,” Wang Peng said. “Don’t worry about me, I can take care of myself.”
“Pengdi, you can stay at my house for now, and move out after the renovations are finished,” Li Fang said.
No one can live in the new house during the renovation period.
Wang Peng shook his head. "I'm staying at Mingzhu's house."
My second uncle, second aunt, and younger cousin are all staying at my older cousin's house; there's really no other place for them to stay.
At 2 p.m., the car arrived in the provincial capital.
Wang Peng came to the steel mill's residential compound and left the quilt in the trunk at his cousin's house.
After chatting with my second uncle for a few minutes, I drove to the sales office of Wenxin Garden.
I paid 25,000 yuan for the house and received the keys to my new house.
The new apartment is located in Unit 3, Building 6, on the second floor, east-facing unit.
He used the key to open the door.
The house was filthy, with construction debris everywhere.
"Mr. Wang, do you have any renovation needs?" asked Dong Fang, the property manager.
"Do you have the renovation contractor's contact information?" Wang Peng asked in return.
“My brother owns a renovation company. You can talk to him.” Dong Fang took out a business card from his pocket.
Hongyuan Decoration Company.
Manager Dong Jiaqiang.
The address is not far from the residential area.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the boss later," Wang Peng said.
"Okay. You look at the apartment first, I'll go check out the other floors." Dong Fang left with satisfaction.
Wang Peng wandered around the various rooms, studying how to decorate his new home.
After a long while, he locked the door and drove to Hongyuan Decoration Company.
There are many renovation companies on this street.
Wang Peng drove slowly, and after a long time, he finally found Hongyuan Decoration Store and met the owner, Dong Jiaqiang.
"Mr. Dong, could you give me a renovation plan?" Wang Peng said. "I'm a homeowner in Wenxin Garden."
"My clients who come here for renovations are all residents of the Wenxin Community," Dong Jiaqiang said. "Did my younger brother, Dong Fang, refer you to me?"
“Yes,” Wang Peng said. “Since it was a friend’s introduction, you should give me some discounts.”
“No problem,” Dong Jiaqiang readily agreed.
The two spent a long time discussing the matter and finally came up with a renovation plan that satisfied Wang Peng.
“Mr. Wang, if we renovate according to this plan, it will cost a maximum of five thousand yuan, including water and electricity work,” Dong Jiaqiang said.
"Too expensive." Wang Peng shook his head. "Too expensive. I can only give you four thousand yuan at most."
"Are you kidding me? That's impossible!" Dong Jiaqiang stood up abruptly.
"Brother, go ask around on the street, no one will do it for you at this price."
"Don't get agitated." Wang Peng stood up and smiled. "I'll go get some food first, and we'll talk again this afternoon."
Home renovation is not a small expense, so of course you should compare prices from different vendors.
Wang Peng started his car and began looking for the next renovation company.
There were so many renovation companies on both sides of the road that he didn't know where to go.
Suddenly, a young man reached out and stopped the car.
Wang Peng snapped out of his daze, slammed on the brakes, rolled down the window, and was about to yell at someone.
"Huh? Brother Lei?"
Wang Peng hurriedly stopped the car. "Brother Lei, it really is you!"
"Who else could it be but me?" Du Lei laughed and got into the passenger seat.
"Brother Peng, long time no see." He took out a cigarette and offered it to Wang Peng.
"You're right, long time no see!" Wang Peng waved his hand, refusing the cigarette. "Brother Lei, are you really planning to give up your studies?"
"It's not that I want to give up, but my grades just have to be abandoned." Du Lei lit a cigarette and sighed.
His grades weren't bad, but unfortunately he didn't perform well on the exam and couldn't even get into a vocational college.
"Brother Lei, why don't you repeat a year?" Wang Peng patted him on the shoulder.
