Chapter 1106: Living in Shanghai Is Not Easy
Coming out of the courtyard, Li Jia saw Qin Hao laughing behind her and couldn't help but get angry: "What are you laughing at! Don't laugh."
"You are too domineering, you control everything and whether others cry or laugh."
Li Jia turned around and walked towards the alley angrily. Qin Hao chased after her: "How do you feel?"
"What do you mean?" Li Jia asked knowingly.
Qin Hao smiled wickedly: "Aunt Song and Uncle Lin get along well, you don't have to worry."
"What should I worry about? You should be the one who is worried." Li Jia raised her chin and snorted.
"What am I worried about?"
"Humph, my parents are not as easy to talk to as Aunt Song and Uncle Lin."
"Don't worry, there is no mother-in-law that I can't get."
"Tsk, who is your mother-in-law, rogue."
The two of them talked to each other and slowly walked out of the alley under the moonlight.
Li Jia stayed in Suzhou for ten days. Before she left, Song Ying bought her many Suzhou specialties. If she wasn't afraid that Li Jia couldn't carry them, Song Ying would probably have filled both suitcases.
Huang Ling joked: "You've invested so much, aren't you afraid that she will break up with Haozi and all your efforts will be in vain?"
"No, Haozi said that he likes this girl and he won't change."
"If that's the case, I'm waiting for the wedding."
"Then you have to prepare a big red envelope."
"Money-grubber."
Speaking of red envelopes, Huang Ling lowered her voice and said to Song Ying: "By the way, how much red envelope do you plan to give to Yiming when he gets married?"
"Six yuan, for good luck."
"So much?"
"Not much. Yiming has settled the bills on the spot for our handicrafts over the years and has never owed a penny. This favor must be repaid, right?"
"Well, I'll give six yuan too."
A week later, Li Yiming got married, and the cotton mill family alley became particularly lively.
"Lin Dongzhe, wait for me."
Li Yiming got married in a fashionable way, with a Western-style wedding. The bride wore a wedding dress and was picked up by a car. The specifications stunned many people.
Zhuang Xiaoting couldn't squeeze into the crowd, so she quickly called Lin Dongzhe. Lin Dongzhe could only turn around and drag Zhuang Xiaoting in, and then entered the door of Li Yiming's house.
"Wow, the bride is so beautiful." Zhuang Xiaoting looked at the bride in a white wedding dress with envy in her eyes.
Not only Zhuang Xiaoting, but even Huang Ling and Song Ying couldn't put down the wedding dress.
"What material is this made of? How can it be so white?"
"It looks like plastic, but it's definitely not ordinary plastic."
Zhang Amei on the side was amazed: "Such a wedding dress must cost a lot of money, right?"
The bride just smiled and didn't show off. Li Yiming greeted her from the side.
"Dear uncles, aunts and elders, let's go sit in the courtyard. The feast will start soon."
Song Ying and Huang Ling were about to get up when Li Yiming called them again: "Where are Haozi and Tunan? Why don't we see them?"
"They should be outside and didn't squeeze in. There are too many people today." Song Ying pointed out the window.
Li Yiming quickly squeezed through the crowded crowd and pulled Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan in.
"Xiaoyue, this is the Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan I have been telling you about. They are famous university students who walked out of our alley."
The bride greeted them generously and stuffed them with candy enthusiastically.
"It's really a great honor for you to come today. Let Yiming have a few drinks with you later."
At the wedding banquet, Zhuang Tunan whispered to Qin Hao: "Brother Yiming married a good wife."
"Well, Yiming is blessed." Qin Hao nodded in approval.
After the wedding banquet, Zhuang Tunan felt a little excited. Before going to college, he was devoted to studying. Later, in addition to learning new knowledge, he had to give extra lessons to people to subsidize his living expenses. He had no time to think about these things. But today, Li Yiming's wife made him yearn for marriage.
"Why, are you moved?"
Zhuang Tunan blushed: "What are you talking about? I just said it casually."
"Okay, why are you pretending to be with me? I still say that women in our construction industry are scarce resources. If you don't seize the opportunity in college, it will be even harder to meet them after graduation. Don't listen to the counselor's nonsense. Talk about love first, whether it can succeed is another matter."
Zhuang Tunan didn't say anything, but Qin Hao knew that he should have listened to it.
The happy time of summer vacation is always short. Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting went to key high schools, so they started school half a month earlier. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan also went to Shanghai a week later. Xiang Pengfei was rushed back to Suzhou by his mother Zhuang Hualin. Zhuang Tunan made up a week of classes for him and almost got angry to death.
Many questions that can be explained by Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting once or twice, but Xiang Pengfei is at a loss again after five or six times of explanation. To use Lin Wufeng's words to describe Lin Dongzhe before, some people are born not to study.
The first semester of the third year is extremely painful for students in the Department of Architecture. In addition to learning a lot of theoretical knowledge, various extracurricular assignments are also endless. During this period, the university still attaches great importance to students' practical ability.
Time flies, and it has entered winter in a blink of an eye. The leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of Tongji campus have completely turned yellow.
Just the day before the school holiday, Li Jia received a phone call and she tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. In the words of her roommate, a girl from Henan, Li Jia was like making a pancake all night.
"My parents are about to come to Shanghai with my brother."
Qin Hao saw Li Jiaman's face worried, so he asked: "This is a good thing, how do you look frowning?"
"It may not be a good thing. My dad said that he wanted to send Xiaowen to Shanghai to study." Li Jia seemed to be afraid that Qin Hao could not understand, so he added again.
"Grandpa, grandma and the second uncle and the second sister will definitely not agree, afraid that after the smallwen settled in the house, they will fight for a house with them."
Qin Hao patted Li Jia's hand: "Are you afraid of your parents and your grandpa to quarrel and suffer?"
Li Jia shook his head: "I was unwilling to see them throw dignity on the ground for Xiao Wen. In order to let me go back to Shanghai to study, my parents kneeled on the spot. Can forget ""
Talking, Li Jia's tears couldn't stop falling down, and Qin Hao patted her back gently to show comfort.
Qin Hao thought about it, "Can Shanghai be settled as long as there is a house in Shanghai?"
Li Jia was stunned, and then shook his head: "That's not. My parents are educated youth. As long as Xiao Wen and Xiaowen, I can settle through policy as long as they have a hukou."
Qin Hao laughed: "Hi, what else is it, isn't it just that there is no house, just buy a set in turn."
"Buy a house?" Li Jia was shocked by Qin Hao's "bold" idea. This is not the 21st century. Buying and selling real estate is not a simple commodity transaction. There are many barriers to policies, just like the house where the dealer lives and the Lin family lives. The property right is not their own, but belongs to the cotton spinning factory.
Qin Hao tapped Li Jia's forehead lightly: "At first glance, he usually didn't care about current affairs news. As early as five years ago, the policy was allowed to buy and sell. "
"Really?" Li Jia's eyes were bright, and then asked timidly: "Is that expensive?"
"The price should not be too expensive, mainly to find the person who is willing to make personal property rights. Let me pay attention to it first."
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
As soon as Qin Hao's words fell, Li Jia suddenly ran to the dormitory. After a few minutes, he took a passbook and handed it to Qin Hao.
"This is the money I have saved in the past two years. A total of 23745 yuan. If it is not enough, I will borrow you, and then I will return it to you slowly. The password is my birthday."
Qin Hao took over the passbook and opened it. Then he teased: "Yes, a lot of money hidden a lot of money in Xiaoyu's vault. Are you not afraid that I will run the money and run directly?"
"Hum, I can't run the temple with the monk." Li Jia wrinkled her nose.
After joking, Qin Hao still paid the passbook.
Li Jia seems to be weak, but she is actually a very strong girl. In the original drama, in order to pick up her parents and her brother back to Shanghai, she has been working hard to save money after graduation. When the Shanghai people marry, they don't need to save money so much to buy a house, but she is still my own, because she knows that it is not that her house is always under the fence. She does not want her parents and younger brothers to suffer again.
"Then you wait for my news."
"Um."
Two days later, Li Jia's parents and younger brother had arrived in Shanghai.
In the turbulent crowd of Shanghai Railway Station, Li Jiada rushed towards his parents.
"Dad, mom, Xiaowen."
The family of four was squeezed out of the railway station before we cried and wept.
As soon as Li's footsteps were standing firmly, he was about to go to his parents' house. Li Jiahao said that he took them to breakfast first.
The family of three ate eight bowls of ravioli, and Li Father said endlessly: "It's still Shanghai's ravioli."
After eating and drinking, Li's father had to take a big family to take a bus.
"Dad, you haven't slept well for two days and two nights. You should go to the hospitality for one night first, and go to the grandparents' house tomorrow morning." Li Jia proposed.
Father Li heard his head and shook his head: "You child, what kind of hostel, is very expensive, or go to the dad to take a bedboard to make a combination."
"Dad, the hospitality is not much money ..." Li Jia could expect that the second uncle and the second sister -in -law saw their family's disgusting look. To be honest, she didn't want to see the second uncle and the second sister.
"You child, just make some money, right? I and your dad can not save a few money in the end of the Northeast farm. You have to save money if you have money." Li Jia's luggage, pulling his son Li Wen to the bus station.
No way, Li Jia can only follow behind.
Two buses, the family arrived at the destination.
"Yo, Jiajia, your family is back to accompany grandparents for the New Year."
"Well, Zhenxiao is so far away to come back to pay attention to New Year."
Listening to the slightly ridiculous words of neighbors, Li Jia tightened his fist, but his parents accompanied the smiley face all the way, making Li Jia a sense of powerlessness.
Knock on the door after going upstairs.
"Sister ... uncle ... are you here."
The cousin's look was a little unnatural. After saying hello, she returned to the room to call her parents.
A few minutes later, the narrow living room was crowded with people. The Li Jia family did not even have a chair, and could only squat on a small bench.
"Brother, big brother, you have come early, it is better to have been in the New Year." Li Jiaer said without a smile.
Father Li could only smile: "The land in Northeast China has been frozen for a long time. Xiaowen happened to be on winter vacation, so I thought about bringing him back to see his parents as soon as possible."
Li Jia's second uncle rolled his eyes: "What's so good about it? My parents are still healthy..."
The atmosphere at home suddenly dropped to freezing point. Li Jia clenched his fists and was about to speak, but was stopped by Father Li.
"It's mainly for the child's schooling next year. The child is grown up now. Dad, mom, the education in the village in the northeast is really too poor. If Xiaowen continues to study, it will be difficult for him to get into college in the future. Can you let Xiaowen transfer his household registration back..." Before he finished speaking, Li Jia's second aunt interrupted rudely: "Brother, you are making things difficult for us. Look at how crowded this house is. There is no place for people to live. Junior high school is not a big deal. You just need to spend more time to make up for his lessons." The old couple of the Li family felt sorry for him, but as soon as they met the eyes of the second son and his wife, they immediately gave up. After all, they still rely on the second son and his wife for their retirement. It is not worth it to offend the second son and his wife for the sake of their eldest son's family who are thousands of miles away. Upon hearing this, Father Li could only beg: "Dad, Mom, this is how Guifang and I will live, but Xiaowen is also your grandson. We have no other ideas but to let Xiaowen go back to Shanghai to study. We will pay for his living expenses, just like Jiajia, and just make a bed for him in the kitchen at night."
The old couple of the Li family were somewhat moved, but Aunt Li Jia refused with a tough attitude.
"Brother, sister-in-law, it's not that we are unkind. Jiajia and Xiaowen are in different situations. Jiajia is a girl after all and will get married in the future, but Xiaowen is a boy. If he fails to get into college in the future, his household registration cannot be moved out..."
Uncle II also echoed after hearing this: "The key is that there is no place to live. It's such a small place. Brother and sister-in-law, you should find another way."
Mother Li's eyes were tearful: "If we hadn't gone to the countryside, how could you have such a stable and good life? Logically, we should have half of this house..."
It would have been better if she didn't say this. Now Uncle II and Aunt II were even more afraid that they would come to fight for the house. They refused to let Li Wen settle down. For a while, they quarreled so much that the old couple could only cry silently and couldn't say a word.
Seeing that they were about to fight, Li Jia hurried forward to pull her parents apart.
"Dad, Mom, let's go. I'll find a way to deal with Xiaowen's problem." Second Aunt said sarcastically, "Right, Jiajia is now a top student at Tongji University. She must have more options than ordinary workers like us. Brother and sister-in-law, you can just wait and enjoy a good life in the future."
