She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 748: Buying a House, A Must Buy
Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Buying a House, A Must Buy
Being assigned a job as a college graduate was akin to having a secure job like the city people.
"We don’t have enough money."
Although he had made some money over the past two years, buying a house in the city was virtually impossible for him. Moreover, he needed capital to continue doing business.
"Second Brother bought his house early. Now, the prices rise year after year. If you don’t buy this year, next year it might increase by half. Moreover, buying early can let Da Shu and Xiao Shu start their studies in the city sooner, which would further their chances of getting into university."
There was logic in those words.
"Let me think about it."
He was just strolling around, yet somehow the conversation had turned to the matter of houses.
When he got home, he mentioned it to his wife.
Da Shu’s mother remembered their earlier plans to send their boys to the city for schooling so that they could possibly get into a university. Upon hearing that Da Bao had scored another double hundred, she firmly said, "We must buy the house. In a few days, you should hurry to the city to look around. Once we buy the house, we’ll find a school and let Da Shu and Xiao Shu start school in the city this term."
This utterly stunned Zhao Tianhai.
"Wife, isn’t this too soon?"
Da Shu’s mother shook her head, "It’s not too soon. Getting them into a university and securing jobs for them will make them city people. Don’t you want our sons to go to university and become city people?"
Zhao Tianhai didn’t dare say no. If he did, his wife would surely deal with him.
Meanwhile, when Zhao Tianhai had left, Zhao Tianhe turned to his uncle, "Uncle, I heard Second Brother has made some money. Keeping money without spending it can make one restless. It might be better to use that money to buy a house in the city. Property prices in the city keep rising every year, like my apartment last year, which increased by more than two hundred."
Seeing that his uncle seemed not to be upset, Zhao Tianhe continued, "Moreover, the quality of education at our brigade’s primary school really can’t match that in the city. Most of our teachers are junior high students; there are hardly any high school graduates."
That was indeed true.
"Xiao He, you’ve really grown up."
Zhao Tianhe, embarrassed, touched his head, "I learned it all from hanging out with Third Brother and my sister-in-law."
As they spoke, they went to invite some elders to Zhao Tianhe’s house for a feast the next day.
On Yun Xiaoxiao’s side...
A group of people came out of the movie theater and went to the park.
The movie theater was really crowded.
"Mom, what’s that over there?"
Only then did Yun Xiaoxiao follow the direction Xiao Bao was pointing and saw it was ring tossing.
She saw ring tossing here.
It was almost unbelievable.
"Let’s go have a look."
"Dad, I want that pencil."
Two men took action and bought rings for two yuan to toss.
They managed to hook a few items.
The kids didn’t mind, settling for their second-favorite choices.
"Little sister, where are you going to play tomorrow?"
"Second Brother, when does your noodle shop open?"
Second Brother Yun waved his hand, "I’m not in a hurry. Since the shop opened, I haven’t taken a day off. Now that it’s the holidays, I want to rest for a few more days."
Second Brother Yun wasn’t lying; that was true. Ever since he opened the shop, he truly hadn’t taken a day off. When others were on holiday, his business was better. When the factory didn’t take holidays, he had good business in the mornings and evenings.
He had to get up at five and only got home at eight in the evening. He could take a nap at noon.
"Indeed, you need to rest well for a few days. Your Second Brother used to work in a restaurant where he still got meat. Now he has lost quite a bit of weight."
He was completely worn out.
