Celestial Master Cultivation Diary

Chapter 261. 260. Life will eventually be busy
This night, Young Master Li finally slept with his quilt in his arms.

The next day, the two had dinner at home, and after saying goodbye to their parents, they dragged their suitcases back to Jinghai.

On the way home, by the way, Yueyue was picked up from Chen Ergou's house.

As for the house... I had to choose and choose, and finally decided on the large flat floor with a terrace, which has a better view and is easier to clean, not to mention the lighting.

There is a large terrace where you can grow flowers and vegetables.

Although Han Mei liked the loft, but Li Zhe thought about it carefully, firstly, it was really troublesome to clean up, and secondly, the upper and lower floors were a bit dangerous.

Cats, cats and dogs are fine, but when you have children in the future, if you accidentally fall down the stairs, accidents are easy to happen.

And in daily life, I always have to go up and down the stairs, and it's really tiring to climb up and down.

After finalizing the house, I originally planned to go directly to pay the down payment. However, buying a house is much more complicated than the two imagined. In addition to various documents such as marriage certificates and household registration books, a series of preparations are required to obtain a loan. Material will do.

Such as proof of income and running water bills.

Both of them are freelancers, and what they signed with the platform is only an authorization agreement rather than a labor contract, so in a sense, they are two unemployed vagrants.

Without a unit, naturally there is no official seal and proof of income. Li Zhe originally planned to go to Zhang Bingwen to help him get a name. After applying for the loan, I dismissed this idea.

All kinds of proof materials were ready, Lin Qiuliang asked the two to wait, saying that he had a friend who was the vice president of the bank, and he could help them get more loan discounts, and the interest would be much lower then.

Hearing this, Li Zhe immediately picked up two cigarettes, bought a can of high-quality tea with a lot of money, and visited with his father-in-law.

That uncle seemed to have a good relationship with Lin Qiuliang, and he was very enthusiastic when they met, and he was easier to talk to than Chen Ergou.

After a while of pushing and pulling, he smiled and put away the tea leaves.

Li Zhe silently watched the sophistication of the world in the adult world, with a shallow smirk on the corner of his mouth.

There are too many strict rules in this society, and they are always broken one by one in the process of changing cups.

Since the vice president doesn't smoke, two good cigarettes are wasted. Li Zhe left one for the old man. Although Lin Qiuliang doesn't smoke, he can keep it as a favor.

The other one was originally intended to be reserved for Zhang Bingwen, but after much deliberation, I decided to forget it.

There is a high probability that this young master will not accept these things, to be precise, he will not accept these things from him.

Instead of giving some vulgar things, it's better to make a change, or think of a more innovative gift as a thank you.

Ever since, this good cigarette went round and round, and finally fell into the hands of Chen Ergou.

Chen Quan leaned on the balcony, squinted his eyes and swallowed the clouds, then put his hands on the window and shook the ashes: "To be honest, even when you received the certificate, I didn't feel that you were changing."

Although he is only a few months older than Li Zhe, in his eyes, Li Zhe is like a real little brother.

Even after graduating for so long, there is still a faint student spirit left, and his behavior is full of willfulness and childishness.It is precisely because of this that Chen Quan, who immediately began to struggle after entering the society, cherishes this friendship very much.

This kind of friendship does not need to be deliberately maintained, but it is extremely solid and extremely relaxed.

In his social circle, Li Zhe is a clear stream in the true sense, and also the only one.

If you think socializing is troublesome, then don’t socialize; if you think the workplace is troublesome, then just resign and enjoy yourself in your own small room.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, he does not think about making progress, but in Chen Quan's eyes, Li Zhe is a pure and idealized person.

A person he envied but only envied occasionally.

The campus and the society are separated by a wall, which is a world of difference.

This has nothing to do with how many years you have been out of school. A person who has not experienced social beatings is still a small flower in a greenhouse even after graduation for many years.

He once thought that Li Zhe would maintain this kind of life for a long time, but he fell in love and got a certificate at an astonishing speed.

Seeing that he is about to enter a new stage of life, but for some reason, Chen Quan always feels that he is still the same as before, and he can't see much change.

Unlike other friends, once they get married, they immediately become like people from two worlds.

So much so that Chen Quan once doubted whether this kid could handle his married life well and support the role of a husband or father.

However, when he was standing at the door with a pack of cigarettes today, he didn't know if he looked haggard because of running back and forth recently. Chen Quan looked at his expression and eyebrows, and had a strong premonition in his heart—the transformation had begun.

Li Zhe lit a cigarette, stood side by side with him on the balcony, overlooking the busy city, coughing slightly.

Anyway, it cost a lot of money, and he really wanted to find out how expensive the cigarettes were.

The result is still as difficult to draw as I remember.

"what about now?"

"Now..." Chen Ergou turned his head to look at him, and lightly blew a smoke ring.

Long Jiu: "I can't tell."

Li Zhe pinched the cigarette butt, continued to pretend to be deep without accompanying him, turned around and cursed: "Silly X."

In the living room, Bread was digging the ground on the sofa, as if he wanted to dig a hole in it.

Seeing Li Zhe approaching, he raised his head and stared at him stupidly.

I don't know why, but this Erhu looks majestic and handsome when he looks into the distance, but once he turns his eyes to someone, he is just stupid, without showing any intelligence at all.

Every time he came to Chen Family's house, he would inexplicably want to quarrel with this silly dog.

When the same method falls on Yueyue, Li Zhe can always see a sentence from its disgusted eyes - forget it, don't be as knowledgeable as a fool.

But with the silly dog ​​Bread, there is no possibility of not being able to quarrel.

Just step on it lightly, or poke it, and the silly dog ​​will get up and look at him angrily.

That look seemed to be saying - everyone is a fool, why should I let you?
Ghost screams soon rang out in the room, and Chen Quan was smoking a cigarette on the balcony, smiling and letting them make noise behind him.

……

"I'm gaining weight~"

"Have some soup."

Lin Youyou had just finished cooking, and was running around the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks. When she bumped into her face, she shrugged her nose subconsciously: "Have you smoked?"

"No."

Seeing her suspicious expression, Li Zhe covered his mouth and let out a sigh of relief. After smelling it himself, he frowned: "Chen Quan smoked... I brought one with me."

"Smelly."

Xiao Nizi was full of disgust, and pushed him to wash his face and rinse his mouth: "Your father called just now and asked if you have thought about the decoration."

"It's our dad—why didn't he call me directly?"

"He said he called you, but you didn't answer."

After wiping his face with a towel, Li Zhe took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that there were indeed several missed calls, but the sound was muted at the time, and he was busy arguing with Chen's family's silly dog, so he didn't pay attention.

"After dinner in a while, I'll call him back."

After serving himself a bowl of rice, Li Zhe suppressed it, sat down and ate it.

Today I have sweet and sour pork ribs, the gravy is poured over rice.

Seeing him gobbling it up there, Lin Youyou took off her apron, filled a small bowl and sat down beside her: "We will start repaying the mortgage from now on."

The mortgage, which used to be only lived on the Internet and in the mouths of the elders, is now really burdened by myself, which suddenly makes people feel a little anxious.

Li Zhe could hear the melancholy in her words, and comforted him: "It's okay, don't think too much, we have a lot of savings."

Although the down payment was paid, the gift money has already arrived, and a lot of it fell into Lin Youyou's account, so that when Li Lei made the payment, he always felt that he was ripped off by the brat at home. .

People always hope that the bride price will be less, but this kid is good. He opened his mouth and asked for a lot of money with his eyes closed. Those who didn't know thought it was his old Li who was selling his daughter.

Now that he has a huge sum of money in hand, Li Zhe even reinvested the spare money he had withdrawn from the stock market earlier, and repaid the mortgage earlier by the way, so that he could pay less interest at that time.

Although he said he was not panicking, the intensity of his work had obviously increased a lot. The clattering of the keyboard didn't calm down until early in the morning, and then he was dragged back to bed by Lin Youyou to sleep.

Under the quilt, two pairs of feet rubbed back and forth, although there were no outsiders, they were still holding their throats and whispering.

Lin Youyou tried to settle an account, or chat with him about decoration and wedding, but Li Zhe was gagging and talking all kinds of irrelevant things the whole time.

For example, when moving to a new house, the bed you buy must be strong enough.

Another example is that she is about to become a newlywed young woman.

The angry Lin Youyou pinned him under the quilt and beat him up.

……

The two families are very concerned about the decoration of the new house. Although the main tone is still fully controlled by the two children, the elders of them have experience in decoration after all. Although it was more than ten years ago, but The lessons of these pitfalls are still valuable.

At that time, they didn't have any designers. At most, they asked someone to help them look at the wiring of the whole house and design the circuit and water pipes.

Even now, Li Lei thinks that there is no need for decoration designers, they are just cheating money, at most a set of templates.

Han Mei felt that it was better to find a designer to help design the design, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

However, the designer she found seemed unreliable to Li Zhe, so she decided to find it by herself.

It's a pity that after asking around among friends, few people know a reliable house designer, but Zhang Bingwen does, but it's a pity that Li Zhe who is a big boss can't afford it.

In the end, when I was complaining in the almighty book friend group, I was chatted privately by an older brother who volunteered, claiming that he is an independent designer with a professional background, and he is also from the same city of Suzhou City.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of past works were sent over. The posture was like submitting a resume for an interview.

Li Zhe talked with him for a while, and felt that this man should really have a few brushes.

Most importantly - cheap enough.

The decoration style is still minimalist, with simple colors and clean lines. As for the textures of various wood and stone materials... After some weighing, Li Zhe gritted his teeth and decided to spend some money.

Spend your money on the handle...the back of the knife.

The simpler it is, the more it needs texture. If the investment is too little and the effect is too poor, the final result may not be simple but crude.

After all, it is also a place to live for the rest of my life. If it is too shabby, it will be bad to live there.

……

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the design plan is one version after another, constantly approaching the ideal appearance of the two, so that Lin Youyou, who was not very concerned about the decoration, is faintly excited, as if from all the sketches. A glimpse into the future of life with modeling.

As the frequency of communication increases, the number of times they go home is also increasing. Sometimes the two go together, and sometimes Li Zhe goes back by himself, and then rushes back overnight.

Seeing him rushing around, Lin Youyou suggested that he simply move back to Sioux City. It will be convenient for him to supervise the work when the blueprints are landed and the decoration officially starts.

But Li Zhe thought that he would have to live in two separate houses and keep the vacant house alone, so he refused without hesitation.

Last year's leisurely and sweet summer, this year directly tanned Mr. Li. In addition to communicating with designers, he also had to communicate with foremen and masters.

After all, design is an ideal, but reality always has deviations.

The three parties got together, and each felt that the other was incompetent and unreasonable, and ended up making a lot of noise. Instead, they talked about things in an orderly manner, as if they were not acquainted with each other.

Besides, in his spare time, Li Zhe took Lin Youyou to various home furnishing markets.

Although this girl doesn't pay much attention to decoration, she is still very motivated when it comes to shopping, and her aesthetics is also very online, and she can always choose some very beautiful objects.

The two selected all kinds of furniture according to their design expectations, and many of them had to be specially customized. After several communications, they cut and searched the honed skills of Mr. Li, who had given the money casually, and cut the price to death.

Some people are not short of money, and can use the overflow price to save their own learning costs.

Li Zhe thinks he can't be so arrogant. In order to prevent being cheated too badly, he can only study the market with great concentration, and get a rough idea of ​​the prices of various things, so that he can gain the upper hand in the tussle with profiteers from all walks of life. .

A series of trivial and complicated things occupy most of the time in life. If it were someone else, he might not be able to arrange them. Fortunately, he is a freelancer and his learning ability has been online since he was a child.

As long as the efficiency is raised, a lot of time can be freed up.

Lin Youyou's video is still being updated, but the recent business cooperations that she has come to her door for seem a bit ordinary, and picking and choosing is more difficult than panning for gold.

If in terms of video quality, she can still play among her peers, then in terms of traffic monetization, she is a fighter among the weak.

Even some rotten money UP owners with much fewer fans than her can easily beat her in terms of income.

However, Xiaoyou's attitude towards this is very calm. After all, it is very easy for her to shoot her own video, but if a party A is added, she will feel bald every time she thinks about a plan.

It even made her doubt life for a while - isn't it bad money?Why is it so difficult?

For this reason, Li Zhe decided to think of a few plans for her after this period of time was over, and try to give her the bad money standing up during the fancy work.
