On the way home for the three members of the Xiang family, Xiang Ning finally knew what happened.
But buying a house is a concept far away from her after all. I have heard of it, and then it is almost nothing more than that.
Back in her room, when the lights in her parents' room were turned off, Xiao Xiang Ning secretly called Xu Tingsheng. Her idea was actually very simple. When something happened, she thought of that person and wanted to tell him.
Although Xiao Xiang Ning had a lot of tears and snot on the phone, talking about almost everything about her and her grandmother since she was a child, but Xu Tingsheng still heard the news of "Hedong house inspection".
"Finally I got caught. Where is the mother-in-law?!" Xu Tingsheng thought with a dark belly.
"I must be filial to grandma in the future." Xiao Xiang Ning said on the other end of the phone, not on the same channel as Xu Tingsheng.
"Okay, I'll be filial to grandma too." Xu Tingsheng said softly.
"Huh? You... Shameless, my grandma, why are you also called grandma? Why do you have to be filial?" There was a hint of laughter in Xiao Xiang Ning's voice.
Xu Tingsheng was stopped by the question, but this question didn't seem to be the most urgent one right now, so he changed his tone and said, "By the way, Xiang Ning, when your parents are looking at the house, will you go too?"
"I'm not going, I told them not to buy... I'm not afraid of living on campus, I'm used to it." Xiao Xiang Ning said.
"Eh... Actually, it's not bad to buy it. I heard that it can increase in value and make money. In this way, before you grow up, your parents may not have to work so hard..."
Xu Tingsheng said.
"Is that so?" Xiao Xiang Ning asked.
"Yes." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Then let me think about it, if my cousins and cousins all go, and my parents tell me to go, then I will go and have a look... Anyway, I have no place to go during summer vacation, alas, I have nothing to do every day, I want to watch high school in advance Books, no one taught... "
It's already a little too obvious.
But Xu Tingsheng's immediate goal is still Xiang's parents and Xiang's mother first. Before that, the most important thing is to avoid aggravating their wariness of him as much as possible. This is why Xu Tingsheng dare not meet Xiao Xiang Ning right now... In case I found out... Maybe it's all over...
As for wishing that Xiang Ning can go to see the house, Xu Tingsheng thinks so, if this matter can be settled directly with Xiang's parents and Xiang's mother, then naturally little Xiang Ning doesn't know what's best...
If it really doesn't work, at least there is an accomplice to cooperate.
Xiao Xiang Ning is still young, and her mind is pure, so she shouldn't have any material concerns about it...
…
…
In the other room, the lights were turned off, and Xiang's parents were actually not asleep yet, and of course they were not in the mood to do anything else, so they just lay down and chatted. There are surprises, aggrieved, depressed, and moved on this day.
"We have 130,000 in our own savings, and Mom's 20,000 cannot be moved, so we will keep it for her. I will go out and borrow it later. It is always no problem to make up 200,000."
Dad Xiang said. He is very determined this time, especially after tonight, he has a feeling that he must buy it. In fact, in this day and age, with more than 100,000 deposits in hand, the condition of the Xiang family is really not bad, but compared with the money to buy a house, it is still worse.
"Well, if the down payment is 30%, I hope it won't be too expensive, and I hope I can buy it. At worst, we two will pay back the mortgage and pay it back, so work harder."
Xiang Ma said leisurely, her tone sounded normal, but in terms of attitude, she was actually more determined than Xiang Dad. Firstly, women are more vindictive, and secondly, the actions and words of my old lady tonight pierced her heart child.
"Well, doesn't it mean that the value can still increase? Seeing that the house price has risen in the past few years, let's work harder, so we can use the house to save money."
Father Xiang hit upon a "truth" by accident, and in the past few years, anyone who could think of "taking a house to save money" would get a sum of money.
"Um."
After Xiang's mother answered, she silently slipped into Xiang's father's arms. She was so exhausted after the day, and she still felt aggrieved and helpless. The rare warmth in the simple relationship between husband and wife, she wanted to be with her husband Lean in your arms.
Leaning, leaning, tears came down.
Father Xiang rubbed Mother Xiang's back and said, "Are you wronged?"
"Actually, I was moved by my mother, and I feel ashamed. I feel that we are not as good as my mother to Xiao Ning. I also have grievances. Now I hate my cousin to death. It is obvious that Tingsheng looks down on her daughter Li Meng. , I kindly did a favor, why did she do it the other way around? Can she say that kind of thing? She still targets me everywhere. Obviously, they themselves begged me for nothing at the beginning, so I arranged it that way. "
When complaining to her husband and speaking ill of others, Xiang's mother is also like a little girl.
Father Xiang thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's normal. Your cousin is such a practical person, and the conditions that Ting gave birth to that child don't match. Isn't it like cutting her flesh? People wrestle and stamp their feet on the ground. He would scold God for losing money."
"But, it's my fault. I can still control which girl Tingsheng likes?" Mother Xiang said angrily.
"Who said you can't control it, you're not in charge..." Father Xiang muttered in a low voice.
Xiang's mother thought for a while, and understood what Xiang's father meant. She patted her husband's chest angrily, and said, "Do you think there's not enough gossip? You're also talking nonsense."
"You can't live your life listening to other people's gossip. This is our family. If it's Li Meng's family, whose family would they care about this? It's in the morning. If Tingsheng's condition is fulfilled, relatives and neighbors It’s all good, why don’t all the gossips become flatterers? Even if they have bad intentions, they have to hold back their smiles.”
After Xiang's father finished speaking, Xiang's mother sat up and said in a stern tone: "What's the matter, Xiang Guoliang, what are you thinking? How old is Xiao Ning?"
"sixteen."
"Hey you, I didn't actually ask you this, I..."
"Didn't you kiss me in the rice pile when you were sixteen?"
Dad Xiang actually wanted to tease his wife with a joke, but in the end... he poked a hornet's nest.
Xiang's mother was really angry now, she sat cross-legged, and said sharply: "Xiang Guoliang, tell me clearly, what do you mean? You really want to sell your daughter, right? When did you become like this?"
Dad Xiang was also depressed for a while, so he sat up and said, "Oh, Shi Youmei, are you talking too much? I'm just talking about the facts, what is selling a daughter? I won't talk about Tingsheng's own conditions, let's not think about that, think about these You would not have married me back then. The question is how did he treat Xiao Ning? Apart from trying to be nice to her, did he touch her a finger? Do you think it is not necessary to stay up for a few days and nights for the materials that Xiao Ning brought out today? When he is empty?"
"He's upset."
"According to this, I didn't have good intentions towards you at the beginning. Men in the world have no good intentions towards women. If you say that it was a few years later, assuming that Xiao Ning went to college, or simply graduated from college, there would be some kindness. What do you think of Tingsheng having such a child in front of you?"
Xiang's mother was taken over by Xiang's father's words, thinking that if it was when Xiang Ning was in college, when he graduated from college, with Xu Tingsheng's conditions, and his kindness to Xiang Ning, then I really couldn't find any dissatisfaction... Not only dissatisfied, it is simply the best thing.
If that was the case, she knew she would be overjoyed.
When a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and hopes that her daughter will live well, it is always inevitable to consider the conditions. Of course, being good to her daughter comes first. Of these two, Xu Tingsheng didn't lack any of them, and they couldn't be better.
"But, it's not that time yet. At least three years away, and three years later, I will agree." Mother Xiang said with a relaxed tone.
"That's not it," Xiang's father said, "If you didn't think about it this way, do you think I would stand by your side? The two of us have gone too far this time. Look at Tingsheng's expression a few times. It just froze, how wronged the child was... didn't he say nothing? He listened to everything we said, and didn't screw it up at all."
Xiang's mother was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Then what do you mean by all this?"
"There's no need to live like this. Ordinary teachers and students, or as Xiao Ning has an older brother, is it okay? Isn't it just three or five years? You can't have these three years, the previous year has been, Add up to four years, co-author with you for four years treating people as enemies, not allowing them to say anything, but turning around and beckoning to make people come back? Will people come back by then? "
Hearing that Dad Xiang's words meant relaxing control, Mother Xiang thought about it, and when she thought of a certain problem, she immediately became nervous and said, "No, absolutely not."
Seeing her changing attitude, Father Xiang said helplessly, "Why are you doing this?"
Xiang's mother hesitated for a moment. Although the two of them are husband and wife, it is still difficult to speak clearly when it comes to the daughter. After thinking about it, I found a cryptic statement, lay down, and said vaguely:
"It's a good little cabbage, it hasn't grown yet, so you're not afraid... of being bullied?!"
Father Xiang's heart tightened when he heard this, he thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid our little cabbage will be willing to..."
"Um?"
"Xiao Ning, you still can't see it? Don't say it in the past, but today, she is about to fight you for Tingsheng. Her little face is full of grievances and stubbornness. It means that she is still young. If you stop her a few years later, I think she might just run away with her bag."
"... That's why I have to be stricter." Xiang's mother said helplessly.
Regarding this point, Father Xiang had nothing to say, and was equally worried.
"Actually, what I can't figure out the most is, why did that kid Tingsheng fall in love with our little Ning? It doesn't make sense. At his age, appearance, and with such qualifications, he is better than Xiao Ning, beautiful, and not hard to find. Bar?"
"It doesn't take much for him to marry a TV star," Xiang's father said.
"That… "
"I can't figure it out either, and that's what worries me the most."
"Well, Xiao Ning is sixteen. If she really gets involved, in the next few years, which one of us can guarantee that Tingsheng will always treat her wholeheartedly? What if Xu Tingsheng treats her badly and loses her and finds someone else... Aren't there many rich people who are extravagant, so tell me... what about Xiao Ning?"
Xiang Ma finished speaking with worry.
Father Xiang sighed, lost his position, and said, "You're right, let's just let it go... If the two of them are really destined in the future, Tingsheng's child can really wait, and I'll make it up to him for the two of us."
In this matter, parents are always entangled and repeated.
"Go to sleep. I'll go out to borrow money tomorrow. Let's go look at the house. Right now, let's not be wronged. Xiao Ning is the one who says that the poor raised sons and rich daughters. Although we are not rich, we can't let our daughters live here." On the one hand, I have a mentality of being inferior to others." Dad Xiang said.
"Well. Actually, Xiao Ning doesn't care about these things at all now, but I have a little more confidence in my heart." Xiang's mother said.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"She won't go to Tu Tingsheng, and she won't feel that she is inferior to him because of his conditions, and she won't feel wronged... If she likes it or doesn't like it, it's true. No matter how nice Tingsheng treats her, she I don’t have those things in my heart.”
"Don't worry about that, our daughter has no brains about it." Dad Xiang said with a smile.
The bedside lamp in Xiang Ning's room came on, Xiaobaicai had a dream, got up and rubbed her ankles...waist...legs... squinted and smiled complacently...she opened her neckline and took a look... suddenly turned into a bitter face .
Thinking about falling in love with the uncle, Xiaobaicai is very rascal...
