Chapter 1276 I am a cold stone, but you warm me up
It was freezing cold, with snow and wind blowing.
But when Li Xiangnan walked towards the backyard, he felt that the swan snow looked a little cute at this moment.
Taking a look at the agreement in his hand, the lights in the house were still on, waiting for him to come home, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
Pushing open the door, Qin Ruobai, who was leaning against the end of the bed sewing tiger-head shoe soles, suddenly turned back and looked at him. His expectant expression immediately turned into watery warmth. He inserted the long needle into the soles and stood up with a smile, "You're finally back!"
Li Xiangnan put his bag on the table, took off his military coat, brushed off the snow at the door, and then hung it on the hanger behind the door. He smiled and said, "Miss me?"
Qin Ruobai came over and patted the snow on his head, saying tenderly: "It's natural to miss you!"
She smiled as she finished speaking, walked over and closed the door, and immediately reminded him, "But I have something to remind you. I called your hospital, and if no one answered your office, I knew you were back... He Dashuang from the Intermediate Court came to see you at night, and I don't know what it was about..."
"Guess!" Li Xiangnan put the agreement behind his back.
Seeing his little action, Qin Ruobai stood on tiptoe and put her arms around his neck, smiling and said, "Is it a good news? You seem to be in a good mood!"
"Those who know me best are like Bai!" Li Xiangnan smiled slightly and waved the agreement in front of her face, "Take a look!"
After loosening the hand that was around his neck and taking a look at it, Qin Ruobai exclaimed, "Did you buy their house?"
"It's still the big house in the central hall!" Li Xiangnan smiled, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
"1500 yuan?" Qin Ruobai took a closer look at the amount and sighed, "It's so expensive!"
Li Xiangnan had naturally anticipated his wife's reaction.
It is now 1980, and the real estate in Yanjing is at a stage where policies have been opened but the market has not yet started.
why?
Transactions are theoretically allowed: housing commercialization policies have been introduced, and private housing purchases have been recognized by the policy.
However, it is difficult to implement in practice: the dominance of the housing allocation system, the lack of market-oriented supporting facilities, the insufficient purchasing power of residents, and the failure of financial policies to liberalize allocation have led to very few actual transactions.
The cost of this 100-square-meter main house alone is as high as 1500 yuan. Some ordinary people cannot save this much money in their entire lifetime.
Ruobai’s surprise was naturally expected!
Now that everyone is at the stage of solving the problem of food and clothing, where would they have spare money to buy real estate?
Therefore, real estate transactions in Yanjing are almost at a standstill. The most important reason is that the purchasing power of ordinary people is really lacking.
But Li Xiangnan is rich.
This is the result of tasting the advantages of policies under the environment of reform and opening up.
"Have you ever been to He Dashuang's house?" Li Xiangnan gently pressed his shocked wife to the edge of the table and poured her a cup of tea. "That house is definitely a good deal for 1500 yuan! Of course, I asked him to keep the vintage matching furniture inside!"
Li Xiangnan is a person from later generations, so he naturally knows the value of this house. Moreover, any yellow pear wood chair in this house will be priceless in the future.
He watched a program and remembered clearly that a high-backed official hat chair made of square Huanghuali wood from the late Ming Dynasty was sold at auction for HK$2015 million in 992, which was an industry record.
Although these things of He Dashuang's family will not reach such a high level, they can be collected as if they were worth a lot of money.
So for the 1500 yuan, Li Xiangnan did not bargain, and even offered the other party more than twice the price based on He Dashuang's only offer of 600 yuan, which was completely beyond the current housing and collection prices.
"I do know that his house is quite big, but I don't have much impression of anything else!" Qin Ruobai collected her thoughts and knew that her husband was not the kind of person who liked to make decisions on impulse. She thought, "So he came to you at night to sell the house? Out of nowhere, he..."
At this point, she paused, and suddenly realized, "No way? The Zheng family's affairs... is he going to clean up the Zheng family's mess? The Zheng family will definitely have to pay for this time, and he came to He Dashuang and asked him for help? He himself has no money, so he can only sell the house? But he sold the house to help the Zheng family, this, this... what is this old He thinking!"
"Zhou Yu fights Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten!" Li Xiangnan also sighed, "But last night I read the letter of guarantee Qin Chunlian wrote to He Dashuang, saying that she would follow him wholeheartedly in the future! I feel that this time, Qin Chunlian is not joking. If she can really live a good life with He Dashuang in the future, it will be worth selling this house!"
Qin Ruobai exclaimed, "Of course, He Dashuang sold his ancestral home for her! If she doesn't treat him well, she's really heartless! I didn't expect that He Dashuang still loves her. It's really not easy for a man to do this for her! He has lost all his past!"
At this point, she held her husband's hand again and said with a smile, "You didn't add insult to injury, nor did you deliberately lower the price or add fuel to the fire. You came to my rescue and raised the price so high. Xiangnan, you did a good job! I believe He Dashuang knows it in his heart! He sold this house for a good price!"
She stood up to prepare water for Li Xiangnan to wash his face and feet. As she did so, she sighed, "I just hope He Dashuang can keep this wealth and live a good life with Qin Chunlian! Don't do anything weird again!"
"Who said it wasn't?" Li Xiangnan sat on the bed, picked up the tiger-head shoes embroidered by his wife and looked at them, feeling warm in his heart, "Let's not talk about them. After we return home for the New Year, I want to take you to a place!"
Qin Ruobai squatted in front of him, took off her husband's shoes skillfully, and asked with her head tilted up, "Where? What do you do?"
"You'll know when you get there!" Li Xiangnan pursed his lips, raised his hand to stroke Qin Ruobai's face, and said gently: "My current mission is to make you pregnant! As long as I can make you pregnant, I'm willing to do anything!"
"Does the place you're going to have anything to do with the child?"
"Ok!"
Qin Ruobai shuddered all over, stood up and climbed onto her husband's knees, slightly opened her crimson lips, and touched his lips.
"Xiangnan, I know you love me very much!"
"of course!"
"Me too!"
The couple, one sitting and one squatting, smiled at each other.
When love is in the air, any words seem pale.
……
And at this moment, the He family.
He Dashuang sat on the armchair in the middle hall, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking up at the painting of pine and crane hanging in the center with a nostalgic look in his eyes.
"Old He, stop watching and go to bed!" Qin Chunlian brought a basin of warm water and placed it on the ground.
"Hmm!" He Dashuang didn't turn his head and sighed slightly, "I can't look at it for many more times, I'll take a closer look..."
As he was talking, he suddenly stood up, looked at the squatting Qin Chunlian with a look of shock and surprise, and exclaimed: "Chunlian, what are you doing?"
Qin Chunlian pulled a small stool and sat down, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said gently: "Sit down, I'll wash your feet! I've never done this for anyone in my life, Lao He, please sit down!"
He Dashuang stared at the woman in front of him in amazement. He saw the tenderness in her eyes. His eyes suddenly turned red and he sat down as if possessed.
"Chunlian, you...what's wrong with you...don't put yourself in a difficult position...I don't need someone like you..."
"When you gave me the letter of guarantee, I was really moved. I admit that I have suffered a lot for you in this life! But who told me to love you? For you, I am willing to do anything, even if I have to sell this house... Even if you said at that moment that you would follow me wholeheartedly in the future, as long as you were serious for that second, I think this life is worth it..."
"Old He!" Qin Chunlian took off his socks, pressed his feet into the water, and gently washed and rubbed them. She looked at the slightly swollen feet with emotion and said softly: "Even if I am a cold stone, I have been warmed by you!"
He Dashuang was shocked.
Qin Chunlian raised her head, terrified, "Old He, why are you crying? Why are you crying?"
She raised her hand to wipe his tears, but suddenly realized that her hand had just been used to wash his feet, so she shuddered and retracted it, "My hands are dirty... I'm sorry!"
"It's not dirty, it's not dirty!" He Dashuang grabbed her hand.
Eyes facing each other.
One with tears in his eyes, the other with tears in his eyes.
……
The courtyard tonight.
A love that's like aged wine.
