When he got home, it was still early. Lou Cheng diligently disposed of the clothes he had saved for the past two days, made a backup copy of the valuable things stored in the computer, and even did some housework.
After finishing all this, his mother, Qi Fang, slowly came back from the community office. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the clean coffee table. She looked suspiciously at her son, who was waiting for praise with a face full of pride, and blurted out,
"Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Lou Cheng denied, "Don't I also clean the dormitory at school? I was bored just now, so I just did it on a whim. "
Qi Fang didn't care too much about it. She smiled and complained, "You son, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were going to become a disciple? We didn't prepare any special products for your master. It's so impolite. Don't say that. I know your master is a big shot and may not like us, but we still have to show our sincerity. As the TV series say, it's the thought that counts."
"Mom, the sect was too hasty. Don't worry, I prepared some special products for you. My master is very satisfied with four bottles of original-proof wine from Ningshui Daqu. He likes it very much." Lou Cheng smiled and comforted his mother.
Your daughter-in-law is so considerate!
Qi Fang looked at him up and down and showed a suspicious look. "You're so considerate …"
Although his son had indeed grown up and matured, it was very difficult for him to understand the details of interpersonal relationships on his own if no one taught him.
But I didn't have time to tell him!
As for his father, humph, it's good enough that I didn't neglect it!
"That's right. It's all thanks to mom's teachings." Lou Cheng flattered against his conscience, which made Qi Fang beam. She went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.
Lou Cheng didn't mention the matter of buying a house. When his father got off work and the family sat and chatted to eat to their heart's content, he said seriously, "Mom, Dad, when you're free, you should go and look at the surrounding buildings, the ones that are less than three years old."
"What?" Qi Fang was confused.
Lou Cheng explained slowly, "Didn't I win the championship and get 600,000 yuan as a prize? I was thinking, thinking, to buy a new house for our family. Now two bedrooms and a living room are too small, it's not convenient for guests to come in."
"Oh …" Qi Fang was surprised and then smiled from ear to ear. "Cheng, it's good that you're so considerate. You don't need to buy a house! In another two years, we will have enough money for the down payment. Hehe, let me tell you, Fatty Guo and his wife are very polite to your father now. Their salaries have been increased, and they have also given us the bonuses for the technical improvements! "
Lou Zhisheng couldn't help but smile. He tried to maintain his dignity and said, "Your mom is right. It's good that you're considerate. It's not like we can't eat and can't save money. 600,000 yuan is a lot in a small place like ours, but I heard that your martial arts expenses are also quite high. Don't be so extravagant. Save it, you'll have plenty of places to use it in the future."
"Yes, Cheng, you're successful now. In the future, you won't be cooped up in a small place like Xiushan. I heard that the housing prices in big cities are very high, several thousand yuan per square meter. If you want to buy a spacious house, 600,000 yuan won't be enough for the down payment. Save it up and use it when you get married in the future!" Qi Fang said with a smile.
There's something wrong with this script. Why is it related to housing prices in big cities? Lou Cheng's mouth twitched, but he didn't correct his mom's wrong idea.
Not every big city is several thousand yuan per square meter.
He thought for a while and deliberately put on a confident attitude.
"Mom, Dad, you're thinking too far ahead, aren't you? Well, let's talk about something more distant. With my current strength and level, even if there's no big improvement in the future, it's not a problem to earn one or two million yuan a year. If I'm lucky and win a few championships, my income will be even higher. I don't need 600,000 yuan, so I'm not afraid of not having a down payment. "
"And the housing prices in Xiushan are not high. Didn't you say that the surrounding area is only 3,500 yuan per square meter? A better neighborhood is only 4,000 yuan. If I buy a house of 120 or 130 square meters, I'll still have about 100,000 yuan left. It's enough for one or two years' expenses. Besides, it's not like I can't make money … Save up your savings.
You'll be able to save them in the future. "Lou Cheng made a joke to dispel his parents' worries.
Qi Fang was quite convinced. "I heard that the housing prices in Xiushan are low and will rise in the future. If we don't buy now, we'll be wasting money in two years …"
"That's low? Xiushan is not a big city. How can it rise? Maybe it will even fall. "Lou Zhisheng shook his head.
"But we're just living by ourselves." Lou Cheng added, "Don't you think it's too small?"
"But, this neighborhood is full of acquaintances. They're all your uncles and aunties. Your dad and I have friends when we chat or play cards. If we move away and you're not here, it'll be boring for us …" Qi Fang was still a little hesitant.
"Mom, you're thinking too much. We'll pick a house in the surrounding area and come back for a walk after dinner. You still have to work in the community during the day." Lou Cheng continued to persuade her.
Qi Fang stopped talking and looked at Lou Zhisheng. Lou Zhisheng was also pondering and didn't refute.
"Our house is indeed small. It's not convenient for guests. Cheng may bring his girlfriend back in two years. We can't let the girl suffer …" Qi Fang rambled and unknowingly changed sides.
Lou Zhisheng poured some wine, took a sip, and made a decision.
"Cheng, you just need to take out 400,000 yuan and we'll pay for the rest. When the time comes, we'll write your name on the property deed!"
"Okay, okay." Seeing his father's firm attitude, Lou Cheng didn't want to complicate things.
Qi Fang sighed a few times and quickly became excited. "Then I'll ask someone tomorrow and take a look at the nearby buildings!"
"You'd better find an agent for this kind of thing. Others can't be trusted. Chen Hui's family was cheated out of tens of thousands last time." Lou Zhisheng was experienced and prudent.
Looking at his parents excitedly discussing the matter of buying a house, Lou Cheng curled up the corner of his mouth. His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. The haze that had accumulated over the past two days dissipated completely.
Cherish the present and work hard for the future. Don't worry about things that can't be done temporarily. Treat the people around you well!
After chatting for a while, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yan Zheke.
"Ke, I'm going to take out 400,000 yuan from my bonus to buy a new house for my parents …"
He felt that he had to explain this to Coach Yan …
Yan Zheke had heard him mention it before, so she wasn't surprised this time. She sent a snickering emoji.
"That's pretty good. But why are you telling me this? You can decide for yourself with your own money! "
"I'm already your Cheng. Of course I have to tell you." Lou Cheng replied with a sinister smile.
Yan Zheke sent an emoji of rolling her eyes.
"What if I don't agree? Will you buy it or not? "
"I believe you will agree." Lou Cheng replied with a red face emoji.
This was the tacit understanding and perseverance between the two of them.
Yan Zheke sent an emoji of holding her chin with one hand and looking at the sky. "I mean what if?"
Lou Cheng felt a headache coming on. How could he answer this?
This was a conundrum that had existed since ancient times!
Without waiting for him to type, Yan Zheke sent an emoji of covering her mouth and laughing. "Are you sweating? Well, you don't have to answer. I'll answer. If two people have such a big contradiction in their values, it won't last long. "
"But, Cheng, I've been reading a lot of posts and Weibo recently. Let's assume a situation. If you only have a few tens of thousands of yuan per year, 600,000 yuan is hard to come by. Although your parents live in an old and small house, it's not like they don't have a house. Would you choose to spend 400,000 yuan to buy a new house for them?"
Lou Cheng thought for a while and sent an emoji of a bitter smile. "In this situation, even I don't think it's right. One should act according to one's ability."
"See, you can buy a new house for your parents without any psychological burden. I just feel that you're filial and a good person. I don't have any other thoughts. Ultimately, it's because we have confidence. Money doesn't mean confidence, but it's definitely an important part of it." Yan Zheke sent an emoji of sitting upright.
"Hmm … I feel like I've been taught by a life coach again!" Lou Cheng said sincerely.
"Hehe." Yan Zheke sent an emoji of working hard to improve. "So, young man, work hard! Work hard to earn money and improve yourself! "
This was the root of the problem.
Seeing this, Lou Cheng realized that Ke had taken such a big detour to comfort him about his master. She didn't want him to be dispirited and see the light and hope in life.
He smiled and sent a "kissing" emoji.
"I'll work hard!"
From now on, I'll smile.
From now on, I won't blame myself or be powerless. I'll work hard for my goal.
From now on, I'll face the sea and enjoy the warmth of spring.
At this time, he only felt that his heart was clear, and he also made a decision on another matter. He opened his contact list and called Chairman Wei Renjie.
"Hello, Lou. You're back in Xiushan?" Wei Renjie said with a smile.
"Yeah, I have to go back to work in the martial arts club. I can't take their salary for free." Lou Cheng went straight to the point. "Chairman, I can help guide the special training, but only one day a week. You know, I can't teach them the martial arts of the sect. I can only guide and train with them. One day a week is more than enough."
Born in this place, he still had deep feelings for this mountain, this river, and this city. He still hoped to do something for his hometown if he could.
Wei Renjie said happily, "Good, good. One day is enough. You just have to stand there and they'll have an example."
Lou Cheng was different from the past. Lou Cheng was the number one young martial artist in the province!
Lou Cheng hung up the phone and told Yan Zheke about this matter. His heart gradually calmed down, just like the night outside the window. There were lights in the darkness.
Tomorrow morning, I'll practice hard with Ke.
Tomorrow, I'll lead the VIP class in the martial arts club. I'll do my duty.
I'll start from the small things. I'll start from the small things.
