Soon in June, Jiang Tao and Song Yuemin participated in the evening school assessment and got the correspondence diploma with excellent results. They both chose to continue their studies at the same time. Of course, the application was submitted, but in the end, the university admission still depends on the grades.
Song Yuemin was invited by the newspaper to become a special contributor editor of the newspaper. He has his own American column and does not need to go to the newspaper to work. He only needs to write and submit manuscripts at home every day. The newspaper even arranges special staff to pick up manuscripts.
According to the plan of the two, if Song Yuemin could not continue his studies, then he would consider joining the newspaper office, and for the time being, he would focus on freelancing.
For him, writing is just a means of earning a living. His hobby is in the field of chemistry, and he hopes to create something that has a positive impact on the world.
Both husband and wife have stable sources of income, and the amount on the deposit slip is also increasing. Jiang Tao has seriously discussed the housing issue with him.
"I like this yard more and more. It is comfortable and comfortable. The most important thing is that we have arranged it ourselves. We have completed important milestones in our lives here. If possible, I hope to buy it."
When I first got married, I was in financial difficulties and had to decorate and buy furniture, so I didn't consider buying a house directly.
"Okay, I'll write a letter to the landlord to find out first, as long as he is willing to sell, we will buy it."
Song Yuemin always hopes that his wife can be more dependent on him, less independent and motivated, and finally has requirements for life, and he still has to do his best to satisfy his wife's wishes.
The landlord's reply letter hasn't come yet, Jiang Tao came back from get off work this day and heard Song Yuemin say, "The day after tomorrow is Mom's birthday, Dad called and asked us to go back for dinner."
Since the two got married, this was the first time that Fu Juan asked them to go back. Although Song Jianlong made the call, without Fu Juan's "instruction", Song Jianlong could not have made this call.
Song Yuemin watched Jiang Tao's expression, but he was not sure that Jiang Tao would agree.
"Okay, then we have to buy something."
Song Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged her gratefully.
"Thank you. I'm really afraid that you won't want to go back. After all, Mom's attitude towards you was really not good."
Jiang Tao thought to herself, it's not only bad, it's simply bad, if it's not for her husband's face, she really doesn't want to associate with her.
I also have dignity, no, who is not a little princess.
"You just need to understand what I'm doing for, 'Mother's debt is repaid', you have to pay it back, do you know?"
Song Yuemin raised his lips and smiled, hugged her horizontally and pressed heavily on her lips, and started his journey of repaying debts.
The next day, Fu Juan went to the market to buy vegetables, such as chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, beef, etc., which could hardly be lifted with both hands.
When the neighbors in the yard saw it, they had to ask a few words, "Old Fu, I have something to do at home today, why buy these vegetables?"
Fu Juan replied with a smile, "It's nothing, it's my birthday, and Yuemin brought his wife back for dinner at noon."
About Song Yuemin's marriage, no one was ashamed to ask at the beginning. They just insinuated that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and asked where Fu Juan had gone. Fu Juan was reluctant to mention it at first, but later admitted that she was married. She still kept her mouth shut, so everyone was surprised to hear her talk about her daughter-in-law today.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the relatives in the courtyard saw Song Yuemin came back with Jiang Tao, with the same face, but with a completely different demeanor, they greeted everyone generously.
"You're Xiaotao, right? You've changed your appearance. This is some kind of elixir."
Jiang Tao smiled back, "Auntie, you really know how to joke, if there is an elixir, wouldn't I become a fairy?"
"Where will the young couple live in a two-person world? It's great to be at home, and we live together to be lively."
Jiang Tao signaled Song Yuemin to speak, and he replied, "For the convenience of work, you should be self-reliant when you get married, and you can't rely on your parents for everything."
Her intentions suddenly became higher, as if it was not wrong to move out, but it was wrong to stay with her parents. The neighbors were embarrassed to continue asking, and Jiang Tao secretly praised her husband.
"You are really good. You will be able to deal with such occasions in the future."
As a daughter-in-law, she is easy to be caught wrong in everything she says, so it's better to be a "wallflower lady" and say less to make fewer mistakes.
At the door of the house, Song Yuemin raised his hand and knocked on the door. Fu Juan was the one who opened the door today. Song Yuemin called "Mom", and Jiang Tao followed suit. Why are you knocking on the door when you go back home, maybe you lost your key?"
Song Yuemin smiled and handed over the gift in his hand, "Mom, Xiaotao and I prepared this, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, and every year has today."
After taking it, Fu Juan thanked her, glanced at Xiaotao, turned around and walked into the house, Song Yuemin turned her head and smiled at his wife, and went in together.
Aunt Yang was cooking in the kitchen, and Song Jianlong was reading the newspaper in the living room. Song Jianlong was very happy to see them coming back.
"Dad, we're back."
"Just come back. Today is your mother's birthday. You are usually busy with work. Let's have dinner together today."
Song Yuemin nodded with a smile, "Yes, but we are not the only ones who are busy. You and Mom are also busy people who 'take care of everything every day'."
Under the easing of the father and son, the atmosphere at home did not appear awkward. Fu Juan smiled kindly and asked Jiang Tao's work situation with concern. It seemed that there was no conflict at all.
"We don't feel at ease now that you are living outside, or you should move back. Yuemin's room is big. If you want, I will ask someone to redecorate it."
Jiang Tao lowered her eyes and said nothing, she confidently handed over the question to her husband, Song Yuemin really lived up to her trust, and directly rejected her mother's proposal.
"Mom, we live in a good place. We have no plans to move back for the time being. Besides, this house is not our family's private property. I'm already this old. It's time to learn to be self-reliant."
After Song Yuemin declined, Fu Juan did not insist, and only said that they were welcome to move back at any time.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Tao offered to help in the kitchen.
"Mom celebrates her birthday today, I want to make two dishes for her to try."
Fu Juan frowned in her heart, but still blocked her face, "No, just sit down, I'll just go and watch."
Naturally, Jiang Tao wouldn't just sit and ignore her, but went with Fu Juan.
In the kitchen, Aunt Yang was busy. Jiang Tao took a look, and saw that many dishes had been semi-finished, and both stoves were busy.
"Comrade Fu, these two dishes will be out of the pot immediately, and there are three more dishes that can be ready for dinner."
Fu Juan nodded, "I just came to see, is there anything I can do to help?"
How could Aunt Yang say yes, she naturally declined.
At this time, Jiang Tao said, "Mom, you are a birthday star today, so I can't let you do it. Let me do it. You and Dad haven't tasted my cooking skills for a long time. Let Aunt Yang rest."
What she said was sweet, and Fu Juan agreed this time.
"Okay, then you can continue, don't tell me, your dad and I miss your craftsmanship sometimes."
Aunt Yang wiped her hands and smiled, and when the vegetables in the pot were finally drained, she hurriedly turned off the fire to serve them up, and handed over the remaining dishes to Jiang Tao.
The whole family enjoyed the meal, at least on the surface. The four had a few drinks, but the father and son drank white wine, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drank rice wine.
After dinner, they chatted for a while, and in the afternoon, the two of them took each other home. Song Yuemin was a little drunk, and his words were more straightforward than usual.
"Daughter-in-law, you performed really well today, you are generous and decent, and you are indeed the one I have long wanted to marry back home."
Jiang Tao coaxed with a blushing face, "Okay, I'll talk about these things later, I'm so sorry for others to hear."
When she mentioned Song Yuemin, she said it louder, "Daughter-in-law, I know you don't care about anything because of me. Don't worry, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."
The passers-by waiting for the train on the platform looked over one after another. Jiang Tao smiled awkwardly, really wanting to cover his mouth to prevent him from speaking.
At the end of June, Song Yuemin received a reply letter from the owner. He first explained that the house was left by the ancestors, which is very meaningful. Although he is now settling down in other provinces due to a series of reasons, he may come back someday.
Then he expressed his understanding of their husband and wife's mood of buying a house, and if they buy it sincerely, they are willing to bear the pain and give up their love.
The two laughed after reading the letter, "So the final meaning is that they are willing to sell the house, but the price we offer must satisfy them."
"I've consulted that such a large yard can be sold for about 4,000 yuan. What price do you think we should offer?"
With an average monthly salary of only 30 to 40 yuan, 4,000 yuan is already very valuable, and ordinary workers have to save for years without food or drink.
"Let's quote it at the market price. If he wants to sell it, we will accept it."
But extortionate prices will not work.
Song Yuemin agreed with his wife's words, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will reply according to the market price."
Another half month has passed since the wait, and the homeowner really raised 500 based on Song Yuemin's quotation, and the total price was 4300, which happened to be within their tolerance range.
"Then buy it, we should have a home of our own."
Song Yuemin felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that he owed his wife. Besides the house, there was also a lively wedding.
Jiang Tao understood his eyes, wrapped his neck and said charmingly, "Thank you for giving me a home. If you see the place where I lived before, you will know how great you are."
Song Yuemin stroked her head and smiled, "There is no family without you, and what I am most grateful for is that you are willing to marry me."
Jiang Tao smiled and nodded, "Well, you are right, so we should cherish each other."
What responded to her was his fiery kiss, and even the chirping of cicadas outside the house fell silent.
In mid-July, the homeowner took time to come from neighboring provinces to go through the transfer procedures, and Song Yuemin also paid the house payment according to the agreed price.
It took a long time for all the formalities to be completed, and the owner had to go back by car, hiding the 430 bills in the interlayer of the satchel and holding them tightly, for fear of losing the money on the way.
Before leaving, he said with a chuckle, "This house will be yours from now on, we'll get both money and goods, and we can stay together as friends in the future."
The old house that was originally thought to be left unused was suddenly asked for rent, and then suddenly asked to buy it a few months later. How could the price be satisfactory? For their family, it was like a pie falling from the sky.
Song Yuemin nodded his thanks, "Thank you for your willingness to give up your love, your journey will be easy, so I won't send it off with my wife."
When she got home, Jiang Tao looked at the deed again and again. This was her first house in this world. In order to avoid other disputes in the future, they even spent extra money to hire someone as a guarantee.
Song Yuemin found it interesting to see his wife's "money fan" appearance, so he put her in his arms and kissed her.
"See how easy my wife is to be satisfied. If you like houses, I will work hard to earn more money and buy you more houses in the future."
Jiang Tao kissed his cheek back, and said with a leering smile, "This is what you said, you have to do what you say, and I'll wait for you to change me to a bigger house."
Her dream is to live in the mountains or by the sea, like to be close to nature, so that every day she wakes up to a beautiful scenery. , please keep in mind:,.
