"Brother, I changed the washing machine for you," Lil 'Wei said as she waved outside, "Hurry up and move it in."
Two people carried a big cardboard box in.
Li He waved his hand, "There's no need to move it to the main room. Move it to the washroom and then come over to eat."
"Alright, move it to the washroom then. Remember to install it properly." Lil 'Wei instructed the two people and smiled, "Brother, this is a new automatic washing machine from Japan. It's very useful."
"Alright, get your own wine." Li He was not surprised at all.
After installing the washing machine, the two people stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.
Li He said, "Why are you standing there like idiots? Come in and drink."
"Yes," the two of them said in unison, overjoyed.
Once the Zhang family and the He family finalized the purchase of the house, they rushed to complete the transfer procedures the next day. One was in a hurry to get the house and the other was in a hurry to get the money.
"Master Zhang, give us a specific date so that we can prepare. Your house is old and there are many areas that need to be fixed."
After completing the procedures, Wu Chunyan anxiously asked when the Zhang family would move out. Even if they did not live in the house themselves, they could rent it out for more than a hundred dollars a month.
"You won't be staying for now, don't be in such a hurry." Li He had to interrupt. After all, he had been with the Zhang family for so many years and they had some feelings for each other.
The Zhang family smiled nonchalantly, "It's fine. Give me a week and I'll buy a house myself."
With a large sum of money in his hands, how could he not have a place to go?
Li He said, "There's no hurry. Even if you buy a house now, you'll still have to renovate it, right? You can't just renovate it for a week. "
The Zhang family's son said, "To tell you the truth, 470,000 is enough to buy four houses in Liu Li Qiao! It just so happens that it's not far from my workplace. I'll buy two houses first. I'll live in one for two days, and with the utilities, I'll slowly renovate the other one. When it's done, I'll move in. I can take turns renovating. "
He was so proud of this deal.
"It's done." Li He did some calculations. The Zhang family was not at a disadvantage. Liu Li Qiao was the center of Fengtai. In the future, they would own a few houses that would be worth tens of millions.
And He Long wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Putting aside the advantage of being in the urban area, this old house in the alley could be sold for tens of millions of yuan in the future. Moreover, this was the area of the school district. Although He Fang didn't like this place, it didn't stop this area from being one of the best school districts in Sijiu City.
The Zhang family was very efficient. In fact, they didn't even need to wait for a week. On the third day, they began to move. The whole family, old and young, went to work together and used three handcarts to move.
"Master Zhang, there's no need to be so anxious." Li He felt a little embarrassed.
"Here are the keys." Old Man Zhang gave Li He another cigarette and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I don't want to live in this damn place anymore. The sooner I move, the sooner I can. I should be thanking you instead. "
"Did you buy the house?" Li He didn't expect them to do it so quickly.
"Yes, I bought the house. There's no need to go through so much trouble." Old Man Zhang laughed and said, "The water and electricity are all ready and the house is clean. To be honest, it's much more spacious and bright than my old house. It's a good place to live. If it's not good, it's because the heater isn't connected. But that's not a problem. It's going to be spring soon. It'll be over soon. "
A family of seven or eight people had been squeezed into this dark and damp old house, which had long made him impatient. Now that he had bought a new house, although it couldn't accommodate so many people, the feeling of novelty and brand new was something he had never felt before.
This was escaping the shackles.
Li He said with a smile, "Then Master Zhang, I won't hold you up. But when the new house is renovated, we must have a party. Remember to inform me."
"That's for sure." Old Man Zhang and his family left just like that.
After the Zhang family left, Old Lady He was more active than He Long and his wife. She was busy helping to clean up, muttering about where to change and where to repair.
He Long and his wife had the same opinion. They wanted to rent it out.
"If we rent it too high, no one will come. If we rent it too low, it won't be worth it." Li He didn't want to have any strange neighbors. He said with a smile, "Is Brother Chunqiang still staying in the hotel? Let him move in."
"How can my brother live in such a big house by himself?" Wu Chunyan said modestly in front of Old Lady He, but she was still happy that her son's son-in-law was considerate of her brother. Her brother had come all the way from his hometown. All these years, he had been squeezing into the back kitchen of the hotel, which made her feel embarrassed.
"Didn't Big Brother say that he would bring sister-in-law over this year? Then we don't have to rent an outside house. " He Long immediately felt his wife's pulse. Besides, although he was paying his brother-in-law's salary, his brother-in-law was helping him wholeheartedly. He wouldn't lose out by letting his brother-in-law live for free.
On the other hand, he was Li He's brother-in-law, and Wu Chunqiang was his brother-in-law. Li He didn't treat him badly, so he couldn't treat Wu Chunqiang badly. Out of the power of a role model, he couldn't admit defeat.
When Wu Chunqiang heard that there was a free place to live, he was naturally happy. However, he still pretended to decline in front of Old Lady He. It wasn't until Old Lady He repeatedly comforted him with sincerity that he reluctantly accepted it.
It was all a trick.
Old Lady He didn't clean so seriously. Wu Chunqiang took advantage of the time when the hotel was not busy to carry a bucket to clean inside and outside the house.
Li He smiled and said, "Brother Wu, if you need anything, come to my house to get it."
"No need, no need. I bought them all. These are going to be used for a long time. It's not a problem to borrow them." Wu Chunqiang didn't even let go of the door sill with a rag. He made up his mind to bring his wife and child over when he was free.
He was very lucky to have a brother-in-law, and very lucky that his brother-in-law had a sister who cared about the family. Otherwise, people like him would have been deported as vagrants a long time ago.
Nowadays, there were many foreigners in Jing City. Among ten people, there would be one who spoke with a foreign accent. However, most of them were girls. This was because there were far more jobs suitable for women than men. For example, girls could be nannies, salespeople, waiters, or female workers in factories. Men, on the other hand, were craftsmen, businessmen, or temporary workers in construction sites.
They were collectively called "temporary residents" or "vagrants."
"If you need help, just let me know." Lan was playing with icicles. The icicles were almost melting, and his sleeves were wet. Li He didn't care. The child wasn't that delicate.
"Sigh, son-in-law, I'll have to trouble you when the child goes to school. It's too late this season. It'll be fine as long as he can go to school in the fall semester." Wu Chunqiang knew that he still had to rely on Li He for this matter. Since Li He had asked him, he would be thick-skinned and ask for help. One shouldn't trouble two people for the same thing. If he told his sister, his sister would still look for Li He.
"It's not a big deal." Li He didn't need to look for anyone for such a small matter. Little Wei could do it easily.
"Thank you. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. I'll give it to you if I can." If he wanted to get the child to go to school, he would need to find someone. Wu Chunqiang made up his mind not to let Li He lose money.
"You're too polite." Li He didn't mind.
He Fang also called. She was afraid that Li He would forget to bring Li Lan to the kindergarten.
Indeed, if it wasn't for He Fang's reminder, Li He was really afraid that he would forget to bring Li Lan to school.
On the first day of school, the area around Deshengmen was packed with bicycles, motorcycles, and cars. The Jeep in front of Li He blocked his sight completely. He couldn't see anything and didn't know what the traffic situation was like in front of him. Only then did he realize that driving a small car was sometimes at a disadvantage.
Li He had no choice but to turn at the intersection in front of him and park the car in the alley of the Copper and Iron Factory. Then he carried Li Lan out of the car and said, "Walk with me."
Li Lan was dressed bulkily. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to. Obviously, he was not willing to walk.
"Oh, it's not far. Let me carry you." Old Lady He obviously spoiled Li Lan. She wanted to carry Li Lan no matter what.
"Then let me do it." Li He had no choice but to put Li Lan on his shoulder and let him ride. "Hold my head. Don't fall."
As expected, Li Lan hugged Li He's head tightly.
"Don't cover my eyes. I can't see the road."
Li He corrected Li Lan's sitting posture. Then he held Li Lan's leg with one hand and smoked with the other hand.
