Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

Wen Xin took Li Yan and began to wander around the alleys of Beijing.

"Mom, do you really want to return to Beijing and settle down?"

Li Yan looked at the familiar blue brick high wall and touched the weathered ancient tree gatehouse. He seemed to see his younger self carrying a schoolbag, running with his friends, and disappearing at the end of the alley.

How could I not miss it? It’s the place I dream about all the time.

Wen Xin looked at the light in Li Yan's eyes and couldn't help but wet her eyes.

In her previous life, my mother didn’t even have time to visit my grandmother. Instead, she stayed in a hospital in Beijing for a month after falling into a coma.

I was such a jerk that I didn't take good care of my mother when she was healthy. What's the point of spending all my money without taking off my clothes after she became terminally ill?

I can't let my mother have any regrets in this life.

Wen Xin hugged Li Yan's arm and gently leaned her head on her shoulder.

"Mom, let's buy a courtyard house. When you have time, come and live here often. When Dad retires, you can come and settle down here."

Li Yan tilted his head and rubbed his cheek against his daughter's soft hair: "Okay, let's buy a courtyard house, a big one, after all, we are rich."

Wen Xin held back tears and burst out laughing.

"It doesn't have to be too big. We have a small family. A yard that's too big would have too many empty houses and would be uncomfortable."

......

Taking advantage of the Spring Festival reunion, Wen Xin talked to his uncle and aunt about stock trading, and of course reduced the investment amount to one tenth.

Even so, the whole family was still shocked.

"But ha, I think that stock trading is risky. There are ups and downs, and there is a lot of speculation involved."

Wen Xin made an analysis based on facts.

She also didn't want to mislead them into thinking that this would definitely be a huge profit.

Li Haotian looked at his sister with admiration.

"Xinxin, why did you say you were studying history? You are a good candidate for studying finance or economics. Why don't you change your major?"

Wen Xin hurriedly shook her head: "No, I don't want to. I can make some money by doing odd jobs, but I don't want to make a living from this for the rest of my life. I don't like it."

The plan of buying a courtyard house was also put on the agenda, and my uncle and aunt naturally started to help inquire about it.

In fact, the general opinion is to buy a new building, which has much better facilities than this old house.

But Wen Xin shook his head: "This type of courtyard house is a non-renewable resource. Every time one is sold, there is one less. The more time passes, the more valuable it will be."

My uncle and aunt also nodded, and began to discuss whether the Liu family should sell the east wing, so that grandma's house would have a complete courtyard.

Wen Xin had already tried to test the waters, but the Liu family was still reluctant to sell it.

Just wait.

Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday when there are so many relatives and friends visiting, my uncle and his family actually found several courtyard houses for sale.

In fact, Wen Xin has been wandering around the alleys every weekend for the past six months and has already had a general goal.

Everyone looked at each house one by one, and finally decided on a yard next to Houhai.

A neat and tidy small courtyard house with three main rooms and two side rooms, three east and west wing rooms each, and three back rooms.

What everyone likes is that the house is relatively large and the yard is spacious enough.

There are two crabapple trees and a peony with strong branches in the yard. Judging from the fallen leaves on the ground that have not been cleaned up, they must be growing quite vigorously.

Wen Xin also paid attention to one more thing: the road in front of the yard was very wide, and there was a reverse seat outside the door that could park two cars.

In a dozen years or so, this will become extremely valuable in the alleys of Beijing.

The homeowner is a man in his forties who plans to go abroad and offered 30 yuan.

"Uncle, are you going abroad to do business or to find a job somewhere?" Seeing that the man did not look well-educated, Wen Xin could not help but ask curiously.

"Go out and work. My cousin has worked there for several years. He earns much more washing dishes than I do driving a taxi. There is gold everywhere."

"So you will settle abroad in the future?"

The man shook his head: "I still want to return to my roots. I want to make some money while I'm young, and then return home to live comfortably in my old age."

"We calculated that if we work for 20 years, we can save 7-8 million RMB. Then I can buy a house and live comfortably in my old age."

Wen Xin's heart skipped a beat and he felt extremely sympathetic.

In another twenty or thirty years, this courtyard house will be worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"Uncle, have you ever thought about this? The country is developing very fast now. It's actually very good to make money in the country. Besides, by the time the seven or eight million yuan is gone, this yard might not be able to be bought back."

It's not that she is a saint, but after knowing this story and foreseeing what will happen when he returns to his country as an old man, she feels very uncomfortable.

Moreover, this house is not their only choice. There is another one that is also very good, but it is not as close to grandma's house as this one.

The man laughed out loud:

"You are a very thoughtful girl. If we buy this yard, its value will definitely increase, but you said it will increase to 7 or 8 million... Well, let's not talk about that. Now there are two families who want to buy it. As long as the price is right, I will make a move immediately."

"I have almost completed the formalities here, and my wife and children have gone there in advance. As for development, we are far behind others. Even if you give us another 100 or 80 years, we still can't catch up."

Wen Xin let go of his worries.

Respect other people's fate. If you are determined to sell it, then let's follow the normal process.

Everyone went back home first, discussed the matter carefully, and also contacted the surrounding neighbors to inquire about the history of the house.

After confirmation, the two sides bargained again and reduced the price to 27 yuan, and paid a deposit of 2 yuan. Soon, on the first day of work after the Spring Festival holiday, the transfer procedures were completed.

Li Yan wanted to write Wen Xin's name alone, saying that sooner or later he would leave it to his daughter, so as to save himself the trouble.

But Wen Xin insisted on adding Li Yan's name.

A sense of belonging is quite important. Although her mother doesn't care, she hopes her mother can be happier.

Grandma stood in the yard, looking at the house with blue bricks and black tiles, and almost burst into tears.

This will be my daughter’s home in Beijing in the future.

Her side will always be her daughter's home. But she knows that every time her daughter comes back, she is going back to her parents' home. The apartment in Jinshu Huayuan is occupied by her granddaughter.

Now, my daughter finally has her own house not far from home and has settled down there.

The daughter that I have been worried about for half my life is coming back to me.

Thousands of miles away in Yuncheng, Wen Chengzhi was walking around the house excitedly.

My daughter has bought a big yard in Beijing.

Who says having a daughter is not as good as having a son? I would not trade my own daughter for any number of sons.

A few days ago, I went to visit my relatives in the village to celebrate the New Year, and everyone sympathized with me for not having a son.

You are so short-sighted. Even if ten of your sons were tied together, they would not be as good as my daughter.

If I tell you, you'll be so jealous that you'll die.

......

When Wen Xin and Li Yan returned to Yuncheng, it was already the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Wen Chengzhi looked at the passbook and the property certificate, listened to the descriptions of his wife and daughter, and finally he could jump around without caring about his image.

The next day, Wen Chengzhi and Li Yan went to the home of Director Liu of the electrical appliance factory to pay New Year's greetings. This has been an unshakable etiquette for many years.

Wen Xin didn't go because he was afraid of meeting a bad family.

She now really wanted to stay away from the Chai family, preferably never to see them again. Even thinking about them made her feel unlucky.

But the more you don’t want to see it, the more you see it.
