After quitting 996, I became the master of the deserted planet
Chapter 2 Daily life at home
After taking the high-speed train for an hour, Chu Jiao received a text message saying "Li City Tourism Resort welcomes you". Chu Jiao knew she was almost home.
Chu Jiao heard from her grandfather that Li City used to be a small county town. There was a big lake on the northern outskirts of the city, located on a small hill. The water was relatively clear, and the tap water in the county's residential buildings was taken from there. It was the main source of domestic water in the county. Due to the government's vigorous development and maintenance, it has now become a tourist resort with some fame in the surrounding area, and Li City has also become a tourist resort city.
The high-speed rail station was just opened in the past two years. When Chu Jiao first went to college, she had to take a three-hour bus to go to school, get off the bus and then take the subway to go to school. It was quite a hassle. Now it is quite convenient to go home. The construction of her hometown is getting better and better.
As soon as I got out of the high-speed rail station, I saw Chu's father standing at the exit. He was looking around at the exit, and when he saw Chu Jiao, he quickly went over and took the suitcase from her hand.
"Dad, when did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?" Chu Jiao hasn't seen her father for a long time. The last time they met was when she went home for the Chinese New Year. Dad Chu doesn't like to video chat as often as Mom Chu. He usually calls only when he has something to do.
When Chu Jiao was a child, her father worked away from home most of the time and they only saw each other a few times a year. After her father was at home for a long time, Chu Jiao went out to college. From childhood to adulthood, her mother was with her more often, so Chu Jiao could act coquettishly with her mother without restraint, but was relatively silent with her father. However, whenever she wanted something, her mother would nag her, and her father would always satisfy her unconditionally. In the eyes of her rural relatives, her father was spoiling her.
"I watched the time and drove here for about ten minutes. I left home half an hour early and saw you shortly after arriving."
The two of them walked directly to the parking lot of the high-speed rail station. On the way, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city, Chu Jiao felt that it was really good to be home. No matter how prosperous a big city was, it was not as comfortable and relaxing as the place where she grew up.
Twenty minutes later, Chu's father drove into the community, and Chu Jiao returned to her long-awaited home, a small detached villa in the middle of the community, with an area of more than 300 square meters and a small courtyard of 100 square meters outside.
This house was bought at a bargain price, as it was a school district house. At that time, Chu Jiao's family lived in the countryside. Chu Jiao had always had good grades in junior high school, and her teacher said she could enter the best high school in the city.
At that time, the high school had just moved into the new campus. Because it was a newly planned new urban area and was relatively remote, there were only two residential areas around it that were similar in construction, and the others were just fenced-off areas awaiting construction.
The community we live in now is just to the west of the high school, just across the street. Chu's father and mother chose this community for the convenience of Chu Jiao's schooling. They originally wanted to buy a small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room of about 80 square meters, and leave it empty after decoration to get rid of the smell. When Chu Jiao goes to high school, they can move in directly, and then Chu's mother will come to accompany her.
At that time, this place was relatively remote and you couldn't even see a taxi when you went out. Most of the people who bought houses were people with the same ideas as Chu's father and mother, so small houses sold particularly well. The rest were large suites and several single-family villas that no one wanted. The suites were pre-sale properties and would not be delivered until a year later.
The villa is ready for purchase. There are only five villas in the entire community, built in the middle of the community. Because they are not selling well, the developer is offering discounts. The 380-square-meter villa is priced at yuan and can be obtained directly after completing the formalities. At that time, the pre-sale houses of more than square meters in the community cost more than yuan.
When Mr. Chu was young, he went out to work with others for a few years, and then he went out on his own as a small contractor. After a few years, he saved some money, and he couldn't wait for the pre-sale house, so he directly bought the detached villa in front.
After spending most of his savings to buy the house, Dad Chu was busy looking for a decoration company and it took half a year to complete the decoration.
The underground first floor is a utility room, where things that are not usually used can be placed. There is a garage of about 30 square meters at the back of the first floor. The garage door faces the big iron gate of the villa. There is also a small door inside the garage that leads directly to the stairwell of the house. In front is the main gate, and outside is the 100-square-meter yard. Chu's father had flagstones paved and two large flower beds built with stone bricks along the corners of the yard where you can plant some things. There are two large rows of shoe cabinets on both sides of the first-floor door. The kitchen, dining room and living room are all on the first floor, and there is also a room reserved for Chu Jiao's grandparents to live here if they come over. On the other hand, it is inconvenient for him to climb stairs as he is old, and there is no elevator at home, so it is more convenient to live on the first floor. There are three rooms on the second floor, one for Chu Jiao and one for her parents, and a guest room for relatives to stay in. The rooms are all paved with wood and the outside is covered with tiles, which makes it easier to maintain. The attic on the third floor is used as a leisure area, with a row of large cabinets against the wall, and the ground is covered with wood. There is also a large platform in the attic. Dad Chu installed a sunroom, which is more convenient for drying clothes in winter without worrying about rain or snow. The house is decorated according to practicality, without too complicated areas, so it is easier to maintain.
When Chu's father's friends found out that he bought this house, they didn't understand why he bought a house in the city. Since he had already moved to the city, why didn't he buy one in the city center? Buying in such a remote suburb is still in the countryside. He already has a house in his hometown, and his daughter will go to college in only three years of high school. He felt that there was no need to spend so much money on this.
Less than a year after the Chu family moved into their new home, the elementary and middle schools across from the high school began recruiting students. This area became the one with the most schools in Liyang City, meeting the schooling needs of students at all stages. As a result, housing prices skyrocketed, and it became difficult to find a house. In two years, housing prices rose from more than 3,000 yuan per square meter to 11,000 yuan per square meter, several times more. Relatives around said that Chu's father had bought the right place.
In recent years, as people have had their second or third children, the demand for large houses has been relatively high. Houses of this size in Chu Jiao's location have become scarce.
The car drove into the garage, and Chu Jiao went straight into the house through the small door. Mother Chu was cooking dinner in the kitchen. The familiar smell of food wafted through the house. Mm, it was the smell of mother.
I ran to the kitchen and hugged my mother and acted coquettishly for a while, and took a few bites of the freshly cooked food. Dad Chu also came over.
"Jiaojiao, Daddy has put your suitcase in your room. You can figure out how to pack it. Dinner is almost here, so you can do it after dinner."
"Dad, I'll go now. It's not much stuff, so I'll be there in a moment. Datou's package is on the way, and the courier should be able to deliver it tomorrow."
"Do you want me to pick it up for you tomorrow?"
"No need, the express delivery of large packages should be delivered to your door, I can just sign for it directly, you can go about your business without worrying about me."
"Okay, I'm in the small supermarket in front anyway, call me if you need anything."
When buying a house, on the recommendation of the sales lady, he also bought a shopfront near the south gate exit of the community. It has two and a half floors, with a total area of about 300 square meters upstairs and downstairs. The top attic was a gift. It cost more than yuan. At that time, Mr. Chu thought that this place was close to the school, so he could buy a shopfront and rent it out or open a small supermarket.
Later, when Chu Jiao was in her sophomore year, the company that Chu's father had contracted for went bankrupt. The company ran away without paying the debts when the project was almost completed. Chu's father had no way to pay the workers' wages out of his own pocket. His savings were almost gone. He used the remaining money to simply renovate the storefront, opened a small supermarket on the first floor, and rented the upstairs to an after-school tutoring class. He could earn more than 100,000 yuan a year.
Chu Jiao thought that if she didn't want to go to work at home, it would be nice to work in the small supermarket at home. This should be the reason why her mother Chu let her go home.
Chu Jiao returned to her room and just finished cleaning up when she heard her mother calling her to eat. She went downstairs and saw the table full of her favorite dishes and said, "This is life!"
Mother Chu was both angry and amused when she heard this. "Eat quickly! The food is getting cold."
As the family of three ate, Chu's mother asked Chu Jiao, "What are your plans now? It would be nice to study and take the civil service exam. Isn't it popular among college students now?"
"Don't listen to your mother. Take a rest for a while. If you can't find a job, look for a job next year." Dad Chu felt sorry for his daughter. He hadn't seen her for half a year and she looked like she was about to be blown away by the wind.
"I haven't decided yet. I'm going to take a break and relax for a while. I'm so tired from working overtime at the company. I need to take it easy before looking for a job."
"Look at your face, it's pale. Do you want to see a Chinese doctor for treatment?" Mother Chu was thinking about asking someone to find a good Chinese doctor.
When Chu Jiao heard about Chinese medicine, she thought of the bitter Chinese medicine that made her tremble. She shuddered. Her throat was shallow and she would vomit as soon as she took the medicine. She couldn't drink any of this Chinese medicine. "Mom, I'm fine. I don't need to see a Chinese doctor. I just don't get enough sleep. Go home and eat well, drink well, and sleep well. I will recover soon."
After dinner, Chu Jiao strolled back to her room, and she was the only one left at home.
Dad Chu had to go to the supermarket and sit for a while. This place was close to the high school, and students who had finished their evening self-study would come here to buy things. Dad Chu would not close the store and go home until around ten o'clock. Anyway, it was close to home, and he could get home in three to five minutes. Mom Chu liked to play mahjong, so she hurried to the chess and card room after dinner.
After taking a shower, Chu Jiao fell directly onto her oversized bed.
When renovating the house, the bed frames were all made by hand by carpenters. The wood was all genuine solid wood boards. They look simple but are very strong and durable. Although the beds bought from outside look good, they will become shaky after a long time.
The beds in all the rooms at home are 1.8 meters long. The bed in Chu Jiao's room is 2.2 meters by 2.5 meters. This large size was her special request. She likes to roll around on the extra-large bed and feels very happy. At that time, Chu's mother was still muttering that a 1.5-meter bed was enough for a couple in the countryside, and a little girl thought a 1.8-meter bed was too small. However, it was Chu's father who was in charge of the decoration, so of course he met her requirements. After all, it was a made bed, so it would only take a few more pieces of wood.
The quilt on the bed had just been dried in the sun by Chu's mother. Chu Jiao put on a grass green quilt cover with small floral patterns and lay on the soft quilt with the air conditioner on. She felt so comfortable that she fell asleep unconsciously.
When Chu Jiao woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside. She picked up her phone and saw that it was almost noon. After washing up and going downstairs, her mother Chu was already preparing lunch.
"Mom, what are we having for lunch?" Chu Jiao walked into the kitchen and hugged her mother from behind and acted coquettishly.
Mother Chu smiled as she was hugged. "Look at you. It's already late and you're still asleep. You haven't had breakfast yet, and your dad wouldn't let me wake you up. Are you hungry? I cooked noodles for lunch and you can eat them soon. I'll cook rice for dinner."
After lunch, Chu's mother went to take a nap, and Chu Jiao also went back to her room to lie down and play with her phone. Not long after, she received a call. It was the courier who delivered the package. After signing for it, she opened the package and packed it up. It was almost time for dinner.
At dinner in the evening, Mother Chu said that they were going to the countryside the next weekend. Grandpa Chu had only one son, Father Chu, and Father Chu had two older sisters. The three families had agreed to go to Grandpa's house for dinner together on the weekend. It just so happened that Chu Jiao went home to visit the old man.
"Then I will get up early tomorrow morning. Good night, Mom and Dad." Chu Jiao went back to her room first. She had to go to bed early or she would not be able to get up in the morning.
