Chapter 924 talks about building a house (1/3)
"Your brother may not necessarily come back for the Lantern Festival!"
Seeing Ouyang Ling's disappointed look, Mei Xiaoran immediately said again: "But your brother said that he will rest from the 30th to the third day of the new year."
"Then he won't be able to come back. When the New Year's Eve does not have a car? I'm afraid it will be too crowded."
Of course Ouyang Ling knows that if her brother really wants to go home for the New Year, it is not impossible to find a way to drive back with an acquaintance... However, although their family members have a wide range of connections, under normal circumstances, such things rarely happen. Mainly, Grandpa has always reminded them that he does not want them to use this convenience.
Mei Xiaoran blinked, "You said, if we drive over to pick him up, will it be okay?"
Ouyang Ling was stunned for a moment, and then cheered happily, "Sister Ran Ran, you are so kind, so thoughtful, I love you to death."
"At that time, we will go and pick your brother back together."
Suddenly, Mei Xiaoran had the right to decide. After all, leaving Ouyang Xun alone in the provincial capital for the New Year, she felt very uncomfortable!
That night, the Mei family was eating outside. Mei Zhonghua saw Mei Xiaolei and Ouyang Xun, and then looked at Mei Xiaoran. Now the whole family is saying that Ouyang Xun is missing, or the whole family will be reunited . Although the children are not yet married yet, according to his idea, he plans to organize weddings for the children after the Chinese New Year. After all, Ran Ran reminded him before that Lei Lei and Ling Ling are planning to go abroad for further study, so it must be The marriage must be done before they go abroad.
Now that he had this idea, Mei Zhonghua deliberately asked Ouyang Ling and Lei Lei what they planned to do in the future during the meal, whether they would go to work directly after graduating from university, or if they had other plans
"Uncle Mei, Lei Lei and I want to take the TOEFL next year and then go abroad for further studies."
Ouyang Ling looked back and gave Mei Xiaolei a sweet look, and then said: "Lei Lei's major has just emerged in our country, and he wants to go out and study again."
When Mei Zhonghua heard this, she deliberately asked: "Then you two are planning to go abroad together?"
The two children nodded solemnly and answered seriously, just like a primary school student answered the teacher's question.
"If this is the case, I think the two of you should register for your marriage first, and then go abroad together, so that you can take care of each other after going abroad."
Mei Zhonghua also thought about it in his heart, and finally said this sentence as if it were to the child in advance.
Let me give you a letter.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ling couldn't lift her head in shame. However, she and Lei Lei did not discuss the matter of marriage. They also discussed before they had to wait for the two to get the marriage certificate before going abroad. Even if they go abroad, they can take care of each other, which is more convenient. But if this is raised by the future father-in-law, it would still be embarrassing!
Mei Xiaolei answered his father's words calmly: "I have discussed this matter with Lingling, and we will talk about it after we have taken the TOEFL."
After all, studying abroad is not so easy. Even if you have taken the TOEFL test, you still have to face-to-face. The competition is quite fierce. If you don’t pass the face-to-face, you still can’t go abroad. But Mei Xiaolei didn't tell his father these words either, because he was afraid that he would not understand it.
Mei Zhonghua was overjoyed when he heard his son say this. She looked at Ouyang Ling and she liked it more and more. Such a beautiful girl will become her own daughter-in-law in the future. She has an education and looks good. If this is true When Lei Lei and Lingling get married, his father-in-law is afraid that he will save face when he walks on the street!
Li Mingyun was also secretly happy. When her son didn't fall in love before, she still felt that his son hadn't been in a relationship before. Now that the marriage is set, it is only a step away from getting married, which is very comforting to her old mother.
Everyone enjoyed this meal, and Mei Zhonghua was even more happy...
After dinner, Mei Xiaolei sent Ouyang Ling home, and Mei Xiaoran asked her parents about the king's house behind her mother.
"After buying it, it's your Aunt Fenglian's help."
Li Mingyun is still not sure that Mei Xiaoran gave Wang Fenglian a little bit of energy in the middle, even if he bought the house, he still muttered in his heart, feeling a little weird. After all, the Wang family at the back was reluctant to sell the house to her family at first.
"That's good. After the New Year, you can quickly build the house. Don't wait until you say that your wife doesn't have a new house."
Mei Xiaoran has his own plan for the new house, but the time is not yet, and it is not too late to wait for the construction.
"I think it's good, and I will break ground until the eighth and ninth day."
Of course, Mei Zhonghua is also an activist. He has long been on the agenda to build a house, but there is no time during the year. If you wait for the new year, you have to make time to build your own house as soon as possible. After all, the construction team still has Other work is to be done.
When Mei Xiaolei returned after sending Ouyang Ling back, he was hearing the three members of his family discussing building a house.
Er, I couldn't help but ask: "Our house is enough, why do we need to build another house?"
"You are not going to marry Lingling! If you are such a beautiful girl, if you marry you, you must have a new house, right?"
Mei Xiaoran didn't want it. After Lei Lei and Lingling got married, she would definitely return to the small county town of Kangping County. However, she suggested that her family should build a house for a reason. After all, she and Lei Lei were not in front of her parents. If the house is built as she imagined, it would be safer and more convenient for parents to live.
Mei Xiaolei scratched his head and blushed embarrassedly: "Well, if you want to say that, you should build a house, but I now..." What he wants to say is that with his current ability, he wants to build a house. too difficult.
Mei Zhonghua glanced at his son: "Don't think about it, your kid. Your mother and I are just a son like you. We have worked so hard for so many years. The family business we earn is not just for you to build a house. You don’t have to worry about things like this, you just need to marry your wife back then, and you’re thanking me and your mother.”
Mei Xiaolei had nothing to say except blushing and nodding. He paused for a while before asking again, "Is that our house is going to be rebuilt?"
"Lei Lei, you didn't know that our family bought back the Wang family's house at the back, and plans to open up a courtyard courtyard." Mei Xiaoran told Mei Xiaolei about the plan in his heart. "The front is built into four facade rooms, in the middle. It's a courtyard with people living behind."
"Why do you want to design this way, it must cost a lot of money?"
Mei Xiaolei felt very extravagant. Although his family now has the ability to build a house like this, it still sounds a bit surprised to him.
"It's okay. The front-facing house can be rented out. It can also help our house look after the door at ordinary times. The money is also worth it. Who doesn't want to live in a comfortable home?"
Mei Xiaolei saw that the whole family said this, and did not say anything. This is already the best arrangement the whole family has given him. What else can he say
"Leilei, don't have a burden in your heart. Although our house is built this time to prepare for your marriage, it is more for our family to live more comfortably."
"You know." Mei Xiaolei is also touched and ashamed at the moment. He is in his twenties, and he has to prepare a new house for marriage, which makes him embarrassed, but... if he doesn't choose to continue his studies abroad, in fact, The unit will also be divided into welfare housing, if that is the case, the family will not have to spend so much.
