Ever since Yin Cai realized that Ji Huai really wanted to buy a house, he also began to face this problem.
When the weather was nice, he would go to sea before dawn. The day before yesterday, hundreds of moray eel cages were taken out and several crab pots were placed.
After collecting the fishing nets and collecting the eel pots and crab pots, it was late at night when I came back.
Yin Cai rushed to the dock after get off work. He had just returned, and she quickly helped untie the fish and unload the cargo.
"So many moray eels?" Yin Cai looked at the half-tank of moray eels in the plastic tank and moved it down with him.
"The cages have been there for two days, and the bait is quite smelly. There are a lot of fish in that area, and there are a few fish in each cage. There are many small ones, but there is no time to release them, so they can only be dried. There are still many inside Keep the snails and eat them too." Ji Huai said, taking out his phone and taking pictures on WeChat Moments.
After taking pictures of moray eels and crabs, I took pictures of the fish on the fishing net. They were all alive.
As soon as he finished serving, many people started to place orders. Ji Huai responded and said to Yin Cai, "Keep a few big crabs for Xiaoqing, tie up the rest, and I will send them to the provincial capital."
"Are you going so late?" Yin Cai frowned.
Ji Huai squatted down, quickly untied the fish, and picked up the big fish on the fishing net, "First untie the fish, pick up the big fish, weigh it, and pack it. I will eat a few steamed buns and go to the provincial capital." It needs to be delivered while it’s fresh, otherwise how can we sell it at a reasonable price? If it’s frozen, they won’t be willing to pay that price. Even if it’s sent to their home and frozen, they think it’s money well spent!”
Now that people's living conditions have improved, they like delicious and fresh food. Fish from large fishing boats are unlikely to come back on the same day. There will be frozen fish and fish with preservatives added. Although the content of preservatives is within the prescribed range, they cannot be sold at high prices.
Fishing boats can be sent to you for free on the same day and return on the same day. Although the price is high, it is competitive.
"There are some sea shrimps." Yin Cai was also explaining quickly.
"These shrimps are valuable, hurry up and keep them. Last time, a customer asked to keep them." Ji Huai took them and put them in the water to raise, and exported them while working. "Most of these expensive fish are for children." When it comes to food, the younger the children, the more valuable they are. They are willing to buy whatever the price is, just to eat well and nutritiously.”
He caught the fish himself, and because he transported goods back and forth to the provincial capital, he had many channels, timely delivery, and fresh supply, which gave him a great advantage.
"Why are they so valuable?" Yin Cai weighed the five shrimps, "There are eight and two."
"Eight taels, let's sell it for 160, it's quite big." Ji Huai set a price, "Children in the provincial capital are precious, and housing in the school district is much harder to buy than here. Fortunately, our daughter can compete for it. gas!"
Yin Cai’s speed slowed down a lot. Others envy her children for being sensible, and she feels bad for them.
Ji Huai untied the three stone nine male fish and quickly weighed them. "Xiaoqing lives alone in a boarding house and comes back once a week. I don't feel worried. I just want to buy a house quickly. You can also go to the market." Living in a district, it’s not good to stay in a feed store all year round, without even a holiday.”
"If I work in other classes, I can still have four days off a month."
…
Yin Cai's heart was filled with turmoil and he kept looking sideways at him. Ji Huai was looking at his cell phone, working on his fish, and took out a pen and paper to record the weight and price.
"One hundred and three."
"This counts as one hundred and nineteen for him."
"To round up, it's two hundred and eighty."
…
Yin Cai has become accustomed to Ji Huai's random asking for prices. In his words, he goes out to sea to catch fish by himself and seizes the time to send it there himself. Who will do it if it's not much
Cheap and comparatively priced things are in the wholesale market, and his customers are not these people.
This is the relationship between supply and demand. Most of his seafood products are pre-ordered and can be delivered directly. Delicious fish, shrimps and crabs are often not available yet.
After Ji Huai packed the fish, shrimps and crabs, there was still a lot left, especially the conger eels. He probably caught forty or fifty kilograms, each one was big. The customer only wanted about twenty kilograms, and he had to take back the rest.
"Go back together?" Ji Huai said as he got up to clean up.
"There are still a lot of fish in the refrigerator. It's not too late now. I'll sell some of them first. If I can't sell them all, I'll go back." After Yin Cai finished speaking, he added, "I ate a few cakes in the afternoon and I'm not hungry now. You go back first." "
"That's okay, sell as much as you can, it doesn't matter if it's cheaper, try to sell as much as possible. There are a lot of big eels over there, so I put the cages down again and will collect them tomorrow." Ji Huai moved the fish to the car.
The crab pots have to be taken back and cleaned, but the conger pots are not used. They can be put down directly after putting the bait.
He recently bought a small tricycle. The main reason was that it was cheap. The other party sold it to him for less than 2,000 yuan. Today he drove the tricycle here.
"How much does it cost per pound?" Yin Cai asked. She didn't know the price.
Ji Huai was already sitting on his little broken tricycle, "Come on, I'll leave depending on your mood."
Wearing water shoes and waterproof pants, he twisted his right hand hard and increased the accelerator. The old tricycle sprinted forward, blowing his hair up.
Yin Cai thought it was a bit funny, it felt like he was driving a small three-wheeled car out of a sports car.
She smiled softly and sat down to sell the fish.
Big, fresh conger eels usually cost more than ten or twenty yuan, but she sells them for fourteen yuan. The fish were still swimming around in the tank, so they were easy to sell, and one after another was quickly sold.
Her service attitude is much better than Ji Huai's. She also kills fish for customers and almost sells it in an hour and a half.
Ji Huai rushed home, changed his clothes casually, loaded the overseas goods into a small truck, and drove to the provincial capital.
This trip would earn him thousands of dollars anyway. If not, he wouldn't be too lazy to run back and forth, and the fuel would cost a lot of money. He might as well sell it cheaply at the dock here. If he can't sell out, he can send it to various big stores. All stalls can be sold, it’s just a matter of making more or less.
Yin Cai thought his price was expensive at first, but later felt it was reasonable. If it weren't for the sake of earning a few hundred dollars more, who would be willing to go back and forth like this
The couple lived like this for a while, and Ji Huai was also busy at night. In the past, Yin Cai didn't feel lonely when Ji Qing'er was around, but now she is at home alone and has no interest in doing anything.
Most of the time, he helped Ji Huai pack up the fishing nets, wash the crab pots, or process the fish and dry the squid.
Ji Huai came back in the evening, had a meal, took a shower and lay on the bed. She was in a good mood recently, and she wanted to take the initiative to talk to him, but before she said a few words, the man was already sleeping soundly.
Now he is doing nothing but work. Let's say he is short of money. Money is lying around everywhere. When Yin Cai helped him wash clothes, he found several thousand yuan in his trouser pocket and put it in the cabinet. He forgot to give it to him for a moment. He didn't even know.
When I gave it to him a few days later, he even scratched his head, as if he suddenly had an extra sum of money, like winning a lottery, "It's nice to have another few thousand yuan."
Yin Cai rolled up the money and threw it into his arms, "What can you do with a few thousand dollars? You smile so happily. Look at you now. When you smile, your teeth are white and black."
She felt that she was also bloated. Since she knew that the down payment would be four to five hundred thousand, these few thousand dollars were really a drop in the bucket.
"A man's dark spots look healthy." Ji Huai sat on the ground and took the red-edged mirror on the table. The mirror had been used for several years and had been broken several times. He looked at his face and pinched it. Chin, "It's okay, I've lost weight."
I have regained my standard figure of 120 pounds.
Yin Cai looked at his narcissistic look and was speechless. He lay down and covered himself with the quilt.
Ji Huai put down the mirror, walked to the door, turned off the light, and climbed into bed.
He had frequently touched Yin Cai recently, and he succeeded after her menstrual period. Because she was too tired during the day, she slept like a dead pig after work, which made her gnash her teeth with hatred.
Yin Cai slapped off his dirty hand and hid in a corner. He moved over shamelessly, then sat up, grabbed her quilt, and touched her legs.
"Sleep." She glared at him with her feet and continued to struggle.
Ji Huai continued to grab the quilt: "Wait a moment."
When she kicked him, he treated it like a small fight. He grabbed her legs, bent over, buried his head in her body and arched her back and forth, his hands still restless.
Yin Cai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pushed him with his hands, but when he couldn't push him, the lion opened his mouth and said, "Ten thousand yuan."
She is so sleepy, why is she so annoying? Why didn't you fall asleep today like the previous few days
"I have no money." Ji Huai continued to immerse himself in her, saying it as a matter of course.
Yin Cai pushed him again, "What can you do if you don't have money? People's labor is worth the money. There will always be someone who will pay for it. If you don't have money, just don't do it."
This is what he has always said. His seafood is sold at a high price, his labor is worth this price, and he sells it only to those who can afford it.
He heard what she meant, laughed softly, and raised his head in her arms, "I really have no money, why should I owe you first?"
Yin Cai answered, "Credit? I only accept cash. Those are empty checks. Even if it is one million, it is not as real as one hundred yuan."
This is also what he said. In addition to giving credit to the supermarket that delivers the goods, when selling seafood, the accounts are collected on the spot and no credit is accepted. He was quite convincing when he said this.
It was dark at night, and she couldn't see his expression. She only knew that he was trembling with laughter. When she wasn't paying attention, he snatched away the clothes covering her body, threw the quilt aside, and started to take off her pajamas again.
"Annoying!" Yin Cai reacted and kept moving on the bed.
Ji Huai succeeded because of his shamelessness. After such a long time, she still had not adapted to the absence of her daughter, so her voice was low and suppressed.
He was particularly annoying today. After half an hour, she was rolled into the bed and pulled out again.
"Isn't it annoying?!" Yin used her foot to kick him, pouting and making a face.
Her voice was slightly hoarse at this time, and her tail tone was slightly raised. She didn't realize that she had a hint of coquettishness.
Ji Huai remained indifferent and continued his actions.
"Why are you so annoying?" she cursed.
He lowered his head to kiss her, but she turned her head to the side, "It's all the smell of cigarette smoke, go away."
"I brushed my teeth," he defended himself.
Yin Cai: "It also smells like smoke, go away."
"Xiaoqing and you are carved from the same mold, and we are exactly the same when angry." Ji Huai scolded her with a smile.
"Then don't..."
The second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it intermittently. It was annoying that he would kiss her even though he wasn't allowed to.
Late at night, when Yin Cai was drowsy, Ji Huai said, "The credit card limit has been approved. Let's go see the house tomorrow?"
Yin Cai: "How many have been approved?"
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
"I have no money." She hugged the quilt and turned her back to sleep. After a while, she persuaded her again, "Don't buy a three-bedroom apartment. It's so stressful."
She was anxious.
Ji Huai was as stubborn as a cow and insisted on buying it, "I know you have no money. I asked some supermarket owners to advance tens of thousands, and I also mortgaged the car, so I could barely raise enough. Remember to bring your ID card tomorrow."
"What?" she asked.
"Buy a house." He replied.
Yin Cai: "You buy it, I won't pay for it."
"Isn't it all marital property after marriage? What does it mean to write in my name? If I fail to repay the loan, it is also your house, and you have to share it." Ji Huai said as if he was making an abacus. But it doesn’t sound offensive.
Yin Cai didn't like taking advantage, so he thought about not adding his name, but he kept urging her to go with his ID card.
She didn't even want to go to see the house. She was under a lot of pressure and she didn't have any money. He could buy whatever he wanted.
After Ji Huai knew what she was thinking, he scolded her lightly, "This is our home, we will live in it from now on, and we may only be able to afford this house. You are the hostess, and your attitude is very inappropriate. Not rigorous."
"I have to work outside. You stay at home the longest, so you have to choose what you like."
…
Although Yin Cai was embarrassed by what he said, she would have to borrow about 200,000 yuan in foreign debt to buy it. She really didn't want to buy it and couldn't afford it.
I still owe more than one million yuan in loans, and I have to pay back more than two million yuan in full.
When Yin Cai went to the city with him, he still felt dizzy. Before looking at the house, they went to the city's primary school and brought Ji Ziqing a box of milk, a bag of fruit, and some clothes.
Ji Ziqing was very happy at the new school. She made several good friends and had a bright temperament. She was very happy to see them come and shouted sweetly, "Mom and Dad."
Ji Huai cared about his daughter and started to brag, "Mom and dad are going to buy a house. Let's buy that big house and make a study for you, okay?"
Ji Ziqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she said, "Dad, is it expensive? I won't buy it if it's expensive."
She is always so sensible.
"How can it be so expensive?" Ji Huai said in a light voice, "Dad just go and buy it. Make a room into a princess room, paint the walls pink, buy a good-looking bed, and make good-looking cabinets. There is also a study room. I want to make a big bookshelf and buy you a lot of books..."
Ji Ziqing really believed it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help turning up with longing, "Can I have nice-looking curtains? And a quilt."
Ji Huai: "Then you have to buy the best-looking one, right? A good-looking house is equipped with good-looking things, such as a good-looking kitchen, a good-looking bathroom, a good-looking living room, and good-looking lamps..."
"Wow..." Ji Ziqing blinked her big eyes and looked at him with admiration, "Thank you, dad~"
Yin Cai knew that Ji Huai was drifting. The songs played by the DJ while driving were just as good as dancing to the DJ.
She was really convinced.
After parking the car at the sales office, Ji Huai unbuckled his seat belt and said to her, "You heard it just now. I have promised my daughter that I will buy the house today!"
"Let's go! We will buy whichever set you are most satisfied with."
Look at the arrogant talk, Yin Cai has a lot of black marks on his head, and his budget is only three bedrooms at most. He talks like he can buy a building.
She still wanted to persuade him to buy two houses.
The staff at the sales office were chatting, but when they saw someone coming in, they rushed forward.
Ji Ya had sharp eyes and rushed over first. She raised a smile and was about to say hello when she saw a familiar face and her smile froze, "You guys, why are you here?"
Isn't it funny that she knows she works here and still comes here to look at houses
Yin Cai was talking to Ji Huai about the two wives, but he didn't want to. The atmosphere between the two might not be so harmonious, but Ji Ya understood that they were having trouble. After all, in her opinion, Yin Cai had "more brains" than Ji Huai. ".
"Let's look at the house we looked at last time. Can you take me to see it again? We want to buy it." Ji Huai smiled and said to her, "Will you take us there when you have time?"
Ji Ya smiled dryly and took a step back, "I didn't take you there last time, and I don't know which building it was."
This formation was obviously out of intention. The people behind her were also experienced and very powerful. After hearing Ji Ya talk about Ji Huai, everyone pretended to be busy. Even if they had never heard of Ji Huai and saw that Ji Ya did not serve enthusiastically, then It must be up to no good.
It's hard to sell the house now, and they don't want to work in vain.
Yin Cai thought that they were relatives, and if he really bought it, it would help Ji Ya's performance, and it was said that he could also get a kickback, so he said, "We saw it last time..."
"It was Xiao Zhang who took you there last time. Xiao Zhang, take me over. This is the customer you are following." Jiya interrupted her, called out to the back, and looked at the two of them with an embarrassed look. "She was the one who hosted the reception last time. I can't take it away from her. The impact will be bad. "
The sales lady walked out of it last time. She didn't have any impatience on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, "Please come here and I'll take you to have a look."
It is common for customers to see a house but not buy it. She has just arrived and she can find something to do. Old employees will push thankless tasks to new employees. If there are potential customers, even if she receives them, the old employees will try their best to grab orders. How can they be so kind
Ji Huai and Yin Cai didn't say anything more and followed the sales lady to see the house.
Ji Ya escaped and continued to check her phone while returning to her seat. She also complained, "I can't afford it but I still keep looking at the house. I really can't understand the brain circuit of their couple. My cousin-in-law used to be quite normal. Now you are working with my cousin, are you really not afraid of outsiders laughing at you?"
"Some people come here to take photos and videos, and then send them out to use as their own houses. The poorer they are, the more vain they become." The salesperson next to him echoed.
"How old are they looking at?" Jiya asked again.
"It seems like two bedrooms and one living room and three bedrooms and one living room." The other party scrolled through his mobile phone. "We haven't sold one in the past month. If we continue to do this, we will have to get the minimum salary. The manager should say that we are not working hard."
"It's not that we don't work hard, it's that they are poor. Like my cousin, who is extremely poor. He has come to see the house a hundred times. Do you want to accompany him to chat? If you kill him, he won't be able to buy a house. If he can afford a house, I can afford a villa!" Ji Ya raised her voice, making everyone laugh.
Seeing that everyone was following her, she continued to talk about Ji Huai's family, emphasizing how poor they were. They were listening with interest, thinking that it was lucky that a new person was brought in to take care of them, which saved her own effort. The new person who came in with Xiao Zhang suddenly looked at The phone said, "They seem to have really bought it."
"Who?" Ji Ya asked with curiosity on her face, still envious of who sold it.
"Xiao Zhang, that couple really bought it. They bought a 113-square-meter apartment on the 28th floor." The newcomer was a little excited when he spoke.
She hasn't sold a house yet.
Jiya: "Impossible, I don't know their family yet? Are you bragging..."
She didn't believe it at all, but she watched the newcomer send Ji Huai down with a smile on his face. Because the order was snatched away by an old employee, I followed closely when signing the contract this time.
Jiya watched helplessly as they signed the contract and chose the same apartment on a higher floor and better quality than before.
It took her a long time to recover and called Aunt Ji.
"This is impossible!" Aunt Ji's voice suddenly became sharper, "I must be buying it for someone else. Ji Huai loves face the most."
"Really!" Jiya was still excited, "The total payment is about 1.5 million, with a down payment of more than 400,000, and a monthly payment of nearly 6,000 for thirty years. I have seen the contract with my own eyes."
Aunt Ji was also dumbfounded.
Even more stupid than her was Yin Cai. Ever since she signed her name, she had been silent on the way back.
"Are you unhappy?" Ji Huai asked her.
"I'm the same as you. I owe the bank more than one million, how can I be happy?" She pressed her head against the car window and saw that he changed the DJ again, "Turn it off!"
He also swayed, literally.
Ji Huai obeyed and turned off, "I didn't ask you to return it."
"Can I not pay it back?"
"Can't." He smiled.
Yin Cai glared at him fiercely for a few times, took a few deep breaths, thinking that at least he had a house and a nest, and the hard work was worth it, and finally said, "I saved some money, and I will wait until my salary is paid this month." , it’s about 40,000, you can use it to pay off part of the credit card first.”
It took a lot of courage for her to say these words. She could not rely on her mother's family, she had no ability, and her husband's family could not rely on her. She had worked hard and frugally for several years to use this money for Ji Ziqing's education. Noble Junior High School.
Since Ji Huai could afford more than 200,000 yuan and still owed so many credit cards, she couldn't be selfish.
"You can keep it and pay it back slowly. Besides, if you pay back all the money, what will happen if your family needs it urgently?" Ji Huai did not ask for her money. "Go ahead, get through these two years and your life will be easier." ”
Yin Cai turned her head to look at him. He was looking ahead. He was in high spirits and not depressed at all. Instead, he was full of hope for the future. He even discussed with her what furniture to buy.
Her mood was aroused, and all that came to her mind was the new house.
really beautiful.
Opposite is the lake, and she can see half of the city. She likes it so much. It's a house she never dreamed of.
