90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Xie Yan smiled playfully and tried to comfort Xie Jianhua.

"Dad, I'm fine. Didn't I disobey Mom? I know how to protect myself. I'll tell Dad if I have any problems in the future."

Xie Yan took Xie Jianhua's left arm again and continued to act coquettishly: "Dad, let's not talk about this. Do you have anything else to tell me? I always feel that you are worried today."

Xie Jianhua was isolated from the things happening around him by an invisible barrier. He was immersed in his own sea of ​​thoughts, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, again and again.

That rhythm seemed to mirror the rhythm of his inner thoughts. After a long moment, he slowly raised his head, his thin lips parted slightly, his voice low and hoarse, carrying the calmness of thought and a hint of bewilderment: "Yan Yan, if Daddy and Mommy are no longer together, who will you choose to live with?"

When those words came out of her parents' mouths, the little girl's originally bright and sparkling eyes suddenly widened with disbelief. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but it was stuck in her throat.

After a moment, she slowly lowered her head, a few strands of hair falling down, covering her face, and her shoulders shrugged slightly, as if she was suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out. After a long while, Xie Yan raised her head and took a deep breath, and the shock on her face was gradually replaced by calmness.

She didn't expect that Xie Jianhua wanted a divorce now. This idea came to her about three years earlier than in her previous life. She didn't know whether it was because she sent Lin Luping to the detention center that triggered a chain reaction.

However, it was not easy to get a divorce in that era, especially when Lin Luping did not want to divorce.

Xie Jianhua and Lin Luping still had tens of thousands of yuan in savings. That was in 1999, when tens of thousands of yuan could buy a commercial house in a county town, or even a house in a provincial capital.

In order to support Lin Luping's high consumption, Xie Jianhua was reluctant to even pay for his own adult education tuition, resulting in most of his fellow teachers now being undergraduates or postgraduates.

In 2000, the veterinary station next door merged with the veterinary station in Lianghe Town, and he had his first and second male colleagues.

In the previous life, it was that male colleague who had advised Xie Yan to leave Lin Luping many years after Xie Jianhua's death.

When he retired, he had already held a senior professional title and was a well-known veterinary expert in the local area. He had not been working on the front line for a long time and even supervised graduate students to engage in scientific research in veterinary epidemic prevention.

Xie Yan bit her lip. She couldn't let Lin Luping take away her father's money.

In her previous life, Lin Luping gave all her father's inheritance to Yao Yadong and his son. In this life, Xie Yan would never let such a thing happen.

The most important thing is that they don’t have a house yet, and Lin Luping doesn’t owe any usury yet, so cutting ties with her as soon as possible is the best option.

If they wanted to kick her out of the house, they would have to produce evidence of her affair with Yao Yadong, or they could have their father Xie Jianhua make a fuss about her being in jail.

"Dad, of course I'm following you!"

After hearing his daughter's answer, Xie Jianhua finally felt relieved, but he still had one problem, which was the house.

Director Chen has already given them a lot of face by allowing them to live in the family compound for three months.

The coal mine also allocated housing to the workers, but the conditions there were very poor and it was far away from where Xie Yan studied. Moreover, the two were now preparing for divorce, so it was even more impossible for them to live in Lin Luping's staff dormitory.

He wanted to discuss with his daughter about buying a commercial house in Lianghe Town.

Xie Jianhua took the time to take a look. There were two real estate projects being developed nearby, and he couldn't decide which house was better.

One is near the Peninsula Community, which is very close to factories and schools and can be said to be the most prosperous area in the town.

The mass grave behind a family compound is remote, but close to the hospital and veterinary station. It only takes Xie Yan about 20 minutes to walk to school.

The first community is called Hongqi Community, and the price is more than 500 yuan per square meter.

The second community is called Lantian Community, where the price is more than 400 yuan per square meter.

He once tried to sound out Lin Luping's opinion. Zhang Na lived near the Hongqi Community, and Lin Luping meant to buy a house in the Hongqi Community.

After thinking for a long time, Xie Jianhua expressed his thoughts to his daughter and then asked for her opinion: "Yan Yan, what do you think, where should we buy?"

Xie Yan flipped through the book and said without looking up, "Buy a house in Lantian Community."

Xie Jianhua squatted down gently, his eyes level with Xie Yan's, and asked in a gentle tone: "Why did my baby choose Lantian Community?"

Xie Yan tilted her head, placed her finger on her chin, thought for a moment, and said with sparkling eyes, "Because the center of the town will move towards that direction in the future."

Xie Jianhua smiled and touched his daughter's hair: "How do you know?"

Xie Yan frowned, a little hesitant. "Dad, you're a veterinarian, and you know that neither animals nor humans should be too close to factories. Factories generate dust, air pollution, and noise pollution. It's not a good idea for Hongqi Community to be so close to factories, so as a municipal decision-maker, you will definitely plan the factory into an industrial park and separate it from the residential area. Industrial production land has been there for decades or even centuries, so the chances of relocation are slim, so it can only expand in the original location. Therefore, Lantian Community must be the center of the future development zone."

When Xie Jianhua heard his daughter's clear and logical words, his eyes widened instantly, his eyebrows raised high, and his body leaned back slightly: "Baby, who taught you all this?"

Xie Yan shook her head and made a helpless gesture with her hands. "Dad, no one taught me. This is what I saw and thought of myself. Just do as I say. Our family bought a house in Lantian Community, and we want to buy the largest unit on the first floor."

Xie Jianhua was curious when he heard what his daughter said. He was eager to know why his daughter specifically said she wanted the largest apartment on the first floor.

"Yan Yan, why do you want to buy a house on the first floor? Houses on the first floor are particularly full of mosquitoes, rats and ants, and the design makes it easy for the sewer pipes to be clogged. Dad is thinking of buying a house on the second or third floor, where there are fewer mosquitoes, rats and ants and the sewer pipes will not be clogged."

Xie Yan smiled mysteriously, shook her head, and rejected Xie Jianhua's idea without hesitation: "Dad, the first floor of Lantian Community has the most room for appreciation."

She knew that Xie Jianhua couldn't understand, but as a reborn person, she knew it.

In this province where people love playing mahjong, a house on the first floor can be used as a mahjong parlor, a convenience store, or even a courier receiving point.

Each option can increase the value of the house.

After all, the third floor they bought in their previous life was not worth much.

Lin Luping was very envious of the neighbors who bought the first floor and could still earn a lot of money after retirement.
