Fu Bing blinked and said in disbelief, "You want me to go on a blind date? I don't have anything I want now. What am I going to use to get married? Tell your mom to give up on this idea.
Besides, what day and age are we in? Blind dates are so old-fashioned.
You, on the other hand, are not young anymore. You should find a partner. "
Fu Yao said, "We have a house at home. Mom has a house under her name. Let's go pick one this afternoon?"
Fu Bing knew that his sister had a house under her name, so he was not surprised when Fu Yao said that. However, he did not know how many houses there were. He smiled and asked, "Did your mom say that too?"
Fu Yao nodded. "Mom said that the house was a gift for Granny. It's not convenient for her to climb buildings when she's old."
Fu Bing said, "We'll talk about it later."
In the past, he was willing to take advantage of his sister because he was young and insensible. Now, he was not willing to take advantage of his sister because he was slowly trying to save face.
Fu Yao said, "Granny almost fell when she climbed the building yesterday."
Fu Bing's frown deepened. How could he not want his mother and father to live a good life?
However, his sister was indirectly supporting him!
"The elevator house is more troublesome. If the electricity goes out, we won't be able to climb the building."
Fu Yao smiled. "Mom said that there are two villas next to each other. We can choose one."
Fu Bing pointed at his face and said, "Do I look like someone who can afford a villa?"
Over the past few days, apart from eating and sleeping, he spent most of his time wandering the streets. However, most of the places were ordinary residences and shopping districts. As for the villas, he could not enter them at all.
The security guard even gave him a free lecture. Not to mention the housing prices, just the property fees alone cost a hundred to two hundred thousand a year. In fact, it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Fu Yao smiled. "There will be a way."
Fu Bing said, "Your mom will give it to you. Forget it. "
Fu Yao said, "Then let's go to the elevator house."
He followed his mother's plan.
Before his uncle could react, he pulled his arm out of the neighborhood. Coincidentally, a bus stopped and they quickly got on. After paying the fare, they sat in front and behind.
After two stops, Fu Bing could not help but pat Fu Yao on the shoulder. "Do you know where to go? Hurry up and get on the road, don't take detours. "
The bus stopped, and an old lady with a hunched back and a cloth bag got on. Fu Yao immediately stepped aside and let the old lady sit. The old lady smiled and thanked him.
Fu Yao nodded with a smile. Then, he stood beside Fu Bing and held onto the railing. "Grandma said that the 928 is just five stops away. There are two renovated houses there."
Fu Bing asked curiously, "Your grandmother went to see it?"
Fu Yao said, "I went there the day before yesterday."
Soon, they arrived at the bus stop. The two got off the bus. Fu Yao first found the location of the residential area. After entering, he said, "It's Block 25."
The neighborhood was very orderly, but the house numbers were not very orderly. The two of them walked around in a big circle, but they still couldn't find a good building. In the end, they found an old man shoveling snow at the entrance.
The old man pointed out the direction for them in detail.
Only then did the two of them find their positions.
After pressing the elevator to go up to the fifth floor, Fu Yao took out a long string of keys from his pocket and tried the third key before he finally opened the door.
The house was brand new. It had a shiny wooden floor, white walls, and neat and orderly furniture. It didn't look like it had been lived in before. After Fu Bing walked around the inside and outside, he stepped on the wooden ladder and went up to the attic.
"How big is it?"
Fu Yao said, "About 120 square meters."
Fu Bing asked, "More than the attic, right?"
Fu Yao shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
He went into the inner room and took out the property certificate from a drawer. He smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's not counted. The area marked on it is 124 square meters."
Fu Bing said, "Why did you put such an important thing here?"
Fu Yao scratched his head and said, "Mom has always kept it here."
Fu Bing immediately lost his temper and sighed. "It's none of my business anyway."
Fu Yao said, "The arm room is the same. Why don't you take a look?"
Fu Bing waved his hand and said, "I'm not looking. It's whatever your grandma likes."
He lit a cigarette. Just as he did so, he regretted it. Afraid that the new house would smell, he opened the door and stood at the door to smoke.
Fu Yao said, "Okay."
Fu Bing finished two puffs and could not help but ask, "Why did your mom throw such a big tantrum this morning? Did you provoke her?"
Fu Yao said, "I didn't. I think it's because of company matters."
Fu Bing said, "Your mom's business is so big now. What can't she handle? Is there a need to be so angry?"
Fu Yao said, "The newly appointed director of the China region did not strictly follow the board's decision last year. Mom is very angry."
Fu Bing said, "I understand. It's because your mom issued a red-headed document that became an empty document. She has to be cut."
"Red-headed document?" Fu Yao was very unfamiliar with these terms.
Fu Bing said, "It's hard to explain it to you. You should stay in the country after you graduate. We're Chinese, so we can't be clueless. Just remember one thing. Those who oppose you, get them to leave. Those who patronize you, get them to eat your dust. Those who support you, get them to make a fortune. "
His uncle's words were crude, but Fu Yao understood. He smiled and said, "I think it's better to institutionalize it. Follow the procedures."
Fu Bing laughed and said, "Silly boy. What do we need people to do? If people aren't reliable, everything is just a formality."
On the 28th of the Lunar New Year, the Fu family moved for two days. They lived in a spacious mansion. Old Madam Fu sighed and said, "We can finally buy things without worry."
In the past ten years, they had moved three times. Either the rent increased and they couldn't afford it, or the landlord took advantage of the high prices to sell the house. They had to move even if they didn't want to.
Moreover, every time they moved, it was like losing half of their life. Not only was it tiring, but they also had to make choices. They didn't dare to buy large pieces of furniture or electrical appliances. Moving was too troublesome.
On normal days, they would make do with whatever they could.
Renting a house was too insecure.
On the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Bing bought ink and red paper. After cutting the red paper, he asked Fu Yao, "Can you write?"
Fu Yao shook his head in shame, "I don't know how to use a brush."
Fu Bing said, "Then you have a lot to learn."
He did it himself and let Fu Yao help him press the red paper. Under Fu Yao's admiring gaze, dragons and snakes danced around.
After he finished writing, the two of them used tape to stick it neatly on the doors and windows.
The Spring Festival Gala began, and the Fu family started eating.
No matter how heavy the snow was outside, or how cold the weather was, the family was happy and harmonious.
"Citizens of the country, bring out the piping hot dumplings …" The host's loud voice came from the television.
Li Yi brought the dishes into the living room and mumbled, "We don't eat dumplings during the Spring Festival."
