Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 86 Entering Beijing 63

The 24th day of the eighth lunar month is an auspicious day, suitable for all activities. The auspicious deity is in the southeast, and the god of wealth is in the south.

Xiaomeng hired a moving company in advance to move all the daily necessities they had accumulated over the past month to their new house in Courtyard No. 7.

Although they only lived here for a month, the children have quite a lot of belongings.

First, there's the child's washing machine, kettle, small pot, sterilizer, small blankets, small clothes, suitcases, and storage boxes. Add to that the adults' various pots and pans, and even a minivan wouldn't be able to hold them all.

Xiaomeng and five or six people from the moving company worked for half a morning to put away their belongings.

At 10 o'clock, Lin Cuiling arrived.

Those who came in the same car as her included the child, the nanny, and all the things left behind at the hotel that she had forgotten to take.

The nanny was still Aunt Fang. Xiaomeng saw that Aunt Fang was really good at taking care of children, and Dou Dou had already gotten used to it. So she paid Aunt Fang 20,000 yuan a month to leave the hospital and help take care of Dou Dou full-time.

Originally, Aunt Fang wasn't a contracted caregiver at the hospital; she was just someone who would work when there was work to do and otherwise idle.

Xiaomeng was willing to hire her at a high price, and the two Lin sisters were not difficult to deal with, so she agreed.

Anyway, once she leaves the hospital, she can go back anytime.

Courtyard No. 7 is not far from the hotel; a taxi ride would only cost a little over the starting price.

After settling the child and nanny into the new house, Xiaomeng took her sister to a small supermarket not far from home to buy some simple items.

When she got home at eleven o'clock, Xiaomeng took out a palm-sized elephant-ear-shaped bronze incense burner with a circular foot from her spatial storage and placed it on the small round table on the south-facing balcony.

Lin Cuiling looked at the handles of the incense burner, which were a pair of lifelike elephant head sculptures. "She's buying these expensive things again."

"This incense burner? It's not expensive, just a modern craft item. I bought it at the flower and bird market." Since it only cost a little over 2000 yuan, Xiaomeng certainly wouldn't tell her sister the real price of the incense burner.

Hearing Xiaomeng say it was a modern handicraft, Lin Cuiling stopped talking and examined it carefully. "It's a good item, it's really exquisitely made."

Xiaomeng brought over a fruit platter, rice, and a whole roasted chicken, and placed them on the round table on the balcony.

Then brew the tea.

The water used to make tea was the first boiled water used when the house was first turned on for cooking.

Sister Cuiling opened a bottle of liquor she bought from the supermarket downstairs and poured it into a small wine cup.

After burning incense, the family of three each bowed three times towards the balcony. The ceremony was complete, and they were officially considered to have moved into the house.

Today's lunch is the first time we've cooked in the new house, so we need to make it a little more special.

Xiaomeng also invited two guests.

Around midnight, lawyer Xia and designer Ms. Mao arrived with a gift.

Today, Xiaomeng invited these two friends she had just met in Beijing.

Attorney Xia brought Lin Xiaomeng a bottle of red wine. "Congratulations, congratulations! Is this the house you entrusted us with handling last time?"

“Yes, this is the one. I chose it because of its good location and convenience, which is why I went to the trouble of acquiring it.” Xiaomeng accepted the red wine with both hands.

"It's so good to be rich. The location here is so excellent. All kinds of living facilities are available around the community. The subway and buses are very convenient. I'm so envious."

Ms. Mao handed Xiaomeng a bouquet of flowers, praising, "This house must be a top-tier school district property. It has a public kindergarten, a top-tier elementary school, and a first-class middle school. Your child is practically winning at the starting line!"

These kinds of houses are incredibly rare and hard to come by.

Xiaomeng agreed, "That's right. When we were looking at the apartment, the agent said that several groups of people were looking at it."

Xiaomeng led them on a tour of the small house.

The house is very small, just two bedrooms and one living room; you can see it all in a few steps.

There's really nothing to see here; it's just an ordinary house, and since it's newly occupied, it still feels a bit empty inside.

"Xiaomeng, your house is so cozy!" Xia said with envy. "I wonder when I'll be able to afford one."

"For senior lawyers like you, once you've reached a certain level of seniority, it's easy for you to afford one."

I also think the house is nicely decorated, thanks to Sister Mao for the furniture and decorating.

Ms. Mao said modestly, "Not at all, it's mainly because Xiaomeng was able to give me the authority to make arrangements."

As people live in a house, it will inevitably change over time according to the owner's lifestyle.

The items used for decorating the house this time are all very basic.

"Once you've lived here longer and new needs arise, Xiaomeng can simply add more items as needed."

"Actually, I think you've been very thoughtful in your arrangements, Sister Mao. You even thought of the playmat for the child to crawl on and the baby gate placed on it."

"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have even thought I needed this."

"The main reason is that I have also had young children, so I know that baby gates are a necessity for children."

With a baby gate, toddlers are much safer when they can crawl and walk, especially when adults need to leave temporarily to get something or do something.

I see your family isn't large, so this railing will make life a little more convenient.

Ms. Mao's words of experience resonated with Lin Cuiling and Aunt Fang, who nodded in agreement. This was indeed exactly what their family needed.

"Alright, we've finished looking at the houses, let's have a simple lunch."

Lunch was simple.

Xiaomeng ordered several hearty dishes at a nearby restaurant and had them packed up, plates and all. Then she bought some vegetables like lettuce and cabbage at the supermarket, stir-fried them quickly, and the table was soon full of food.

We finished the meal in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

Aunt Fang was taking Dou Dou for a nap at home.

Sisters Lin Xiaomeng, Xia Xia, and Ms. Mao went downstairs for a walk to digest their food.

Although there isn't much greenery inside Courtyard No. 7, there is plenty of greenery along the sidewalks outside the courtyard.

Not far away, there's a small garden with exercise equipment and such.

It is very suitable for the lives of the elderly and children.
