Chapter 533
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Jin and her grandparents came back. Seeing their tired and smiling faces, Xiang Jin asked them, "How did you go shopping today?"

Yan Chen got up and poured a glass of water for each of them.

Her grandma took the lead and said, "Oh, the Forbidden City is really big. There are dozens of palaces, large and small, and more than 9000 rooms. The treasures inside are priceless. We have learned a lot today. It is indeed an ancient imperial palace!"

Xiang Jin just laughed, "Then what palaces did you eat today?"

After taking a sip of water, Grandma Mo smiled and said, "Oh, that's too much, we entered from the Meridian Gate on the south side, exited from the Shenwu Gate on the north side, passed the Jinshui Bridge, and then went to visit Taihe Gate, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony, Hall of Preserving Harmony, Gate of Qianqing, Palace of Qing Dynasty, Hall of Jiaotai, Palace of Kunning, Imperial Garden, etc.

After visiting the Imperial Garden, the tour guide took us through the door on the left side of the Imperial Garden to enter the emperor’s harem. We first went to the West Sixth Palace, and visited the Chuxiu Palace, Yikun Palace, and Yongshou Palace in turn. , Xianfu Palace, Changchun Palace, Taiji Palace, etc. Later, I visited the East Sixth Palace, Yanxi Palace, Yonghe Palace, Jingyang Palace, Chengqian Palace and Zhongcui Palace.

After visiting the East Six Palaces, we went to the theater building and the Zhenfei Well. The guide was also very good. He explained every place to us in detail. Oh, we learned a lot today. The historical and cultural knowledge, today's one-day tour of the Forbidden City is really worth it! "

Xiang Jin listened carefully to what they had to say, and then laughed heartily. The other elders in the family were also all smiling, looking very contented.

Xiang Jin suddenly asked, "Oh, what about uncles, aunts and cousins?"

Grandma Mo said, "Your uncle couldn't move his legs after seeing the treasures in the Palace Museum. He said he wanted to stay there for a while, and then told us to come back first. Your aunt won't leave after seeing him She also stayed, and your cousin and sister-in-law were afraid that the two of them would not be able to tell the difference between the south, the north, and the north when they came out later, and they would not be able to find their way home, so they stayed with them."

Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and Xiang Jin said, "Uncle has been engaged in the research of cultural relics all his life. It is rare to see those precious cultural relics this time. I can imagine his shock and excitement."

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng nodded, and then Grandma Mo asked them, "What did you have for lunch?"

Xiang Jin said, "The sweet potato flour we ate at noon was made by Yan Chen."

Grandma Mo's brows were slightly frowned all of a sudden, "Oh, why are you eating so simple?" There was a hint of reproach in the eyes that looked at Yan Chen.

Xiang Jin hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't blame Yan Chen, it's me who wants to eat sweet potato noodles, but what he made is not simple at all, he put a lot of meat in it, I can eat it as soon as I eat it." I'm not even hungry now."

The family laughed, and Grandma Mo asked, "What meat did he put for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "Didn't we have some fat beef and meatballs left over from the hot pot last night? We just cooked that, my god, at least he cooked me a bowl of meat and ate it."

The whole family laughed loudly, the atmosphere at home was very warm and lively, and then her grandma asked them what they wanted to eat for dinner, and they waited to cook.

Xiang Jin said, "Let's have dinner later, you guys take a rest first."

Her grandparents, as well as Yan Chen and his grandparents, said they were not tired, so Xiang Jin's mother and her aunt stood up and said, "You don't have to do it for dinner tonight. We will do it. We will be on the road at that time." I will discuss it with Xiaoxue."

Yan Chen got up and said, "Then I will help you."

Xiang Jin's mother immediately refused, "No, it's just enough food for a dozen or so people. Your aunt and I will do. Why do you need you? You are with Xiao Jin, as well as grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents." They talk for a while."

Xiang Jin and her aunt immediately said, "Yes, yes, no, no, you can use your help. Your mother and I can do it together. There are all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator at home. We can cook whatever dishes we want. It’s very convenient to go to the yard to pick it by yourself. We are not with your grandparents all year round. It’s hard to have two days off after Chinese New Year. You also let us do our filial piety in front of them for two days. what?"

Hearing what she said, Yan Chen nodded and said, "That night, Mom and Auntie will have to work hard."

Her aunt Xiang Jin waved her hand and said, "Oh, no hard work, no hard work, why hard work?"

Xiang Jin then asked, "Then where did you have your lunch?"

Her grandma laughed and said, "Didn't you remind us that it will take several hours to visit the Forbidden City, considering that we may still be in the Forbidden City at lunch time, so each of us filled a glass of wine before going out." On the hot water, your brother bought some bread from the cake shop outside and brought it to us. We ate some bread at noon, and when we came out, Hao Ze and his young couple invited us to stay in the palace We ate at a restaurant near the well, so we had a late lunch, and we’re not too hungry right now.”

Xiang Jin nodded after hearing this, "Oh, so?! But there is a Forbidden City restaurant in the Forbidden City, and you haven't eaten there yet?"

Her grandfather said, "There are a lot of people in the Forbidden City today, and there are also a lot of people eating in the restaurant. There is no place to go, and we have to wait in line, so we are too lazy to wait, and then continue to the restaurant with the guide. , anyway, we won’t be hungry after eating bread, and it’s okay to eat later.”

Xiang Jin followed and asked, "You guys came out to eat at Wangfujing, but uncle and aunt are still in the Palace Museum. What's wrong, uncle and aunt didn't eat with you?"

Grandma Mo said, "No, he didn't come out with your aunt. Later, after we had dinner, your cousin and sister-in-law said that they were strolling around there, and when they came back, they would be with your uncle, aunt and them Come back together."

Xiang Jin and the others nodded.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Chen's uncle and his family of four came back from outside. After returning, his uncle immediately said that they would also buy a house in BJ and settle down.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen glanced at each other, uncle is obsessed with those old antiques in BJ city?Look at the excited look on his face.

Then Xiang Jin asked his cousin in a low voice, "Have you all discussed it?"

The cousin nodded, and then whispered to her, "As long as they are happy, we don't have a problem with where we live. My parents over there are about the same age as my parents here. My mother has retired. It's been two years, and I usually cook for us at home, mop the floor, do laundry and so on, and my dad will retire in two years, so we don't have to worry about no one taking care of our children."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then said, "But if you buy a house now, there is still a lot of room for appreciation. Are you going to buy a courtyard house or a building here?"

Her cousin said, "Dad is interested in buying a courtyard house. He said that he can grow flowers and grow vegetables in it like you do. But in the afternoon, your cousin and I also took a taxi to go shopping around some places." Son, I found that many courtyard houses are quite old and dilapidated, and the price is relatively high, so we finally decided to buy a building. We can buy a large flat. When the time comes, the decoration is better, and we can grow flowers on the balcony. , grow vegetables or something."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then stopped making comments. For things like this, it's good to have a good suggestion. If it's not good, then blame them for being troublesome. Obviously, my cousin still likes to live in high-rise buildings.

Yan Chen also meant the same thing, although he has nothing to mind with his uncles and aunts, and he has a relatively close relationship with his cousin, so he doesn't have to take too much into account when talking to them, but that can only be in his Before my cousin got married.

But now that he is married, he can't give advice and suggestions so casually. After all, he is not familiar with his cousin, and he doesn't know what kind of person she is. Everyone has their own ideas. .

Although Xiang Jin and Yan Chen thought so, they couldn't bear Yan Chen's uncle's obsession with the courtyard house, so they saw his uncle insisting on saying, "Oh, Chen Chen, the courtyard house of yours was born directly from Did you buy it from a private homeowner or was it introduced by an outside real estate agency?"

Yan Chen said, "We are looking for an intermediary company. Only housing agency companies can have enough houses, and they can quickly screen out the best houses. It is not easy to buy from private parties, because You don’t know who is going to sell it? And from the real estate agency, you only need to go to a few more to find out, and then compare them, and you can instantly understand the trend of the real estate market and the future development level.”

His uncle nodded, and then asked, "Oh, which real estate agency did you buy this courtyard house from?"

Yan Chen said which real estate agency it was.

His uncle then asked again, "Then do you have the contact number of this intermediary company?"

Yan Chen said, "Yes, I am very familiar with Manager Niu there. Not only did we buy our courtyard house from him, but also Ajin's brother, and Han Che's courtyard house was also bought from him through my introduction. He bought it there."

Xiang Jin's uncles and his family were surprised for a while, and then they all looked at Ouyang Bo at the side, and Yan Chen's uncle asked, "Little Ouyang also bought a courtyard house in BJ?"

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Oh, the one I bought is not half the size of theirs, only about two hundred square meters."

Zeng Haoze immediately asked, "Where is the location and how much did you pay for it?"

Ouyang Bo said, "My house is at Di'anmen. I bought it a few years ago. At that time, it was in the economic crisis and the market economy was at its lowest point. Many people were afraid to buy a house. They were on the sidelines. middle.

After all the miscellaneous calculations, my house cost more than 160 million in total, but the level of newness and oldness is only [-]% of their house. At that time, I was thinking of investing, but now I plan to use it for my own living. . "

Yan Chen's aunt said, "Hey, if you buy this, you can get it, which is equivalent to only investing more than 7000 yuan per square meter."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Yes, yes!"

Zeng Haoze asked again, "What about Han Che's house?"

Yan Chen said, "Han Che's house was bought not long ago. It is on the Jingshan side. The newness is only about 150% of our house. At that time, he bought two sets, one of more than 800 square meters, and one A set of more than [-] square meters, the average price is [-] yuan per square meter."

Yan Chen's cousin said, "So old, he still buys it?"

Yan Chen said, "It's a bit old, but his house is in good condition, and he bought that house mainly for investment, not for living. He is looking at those two houses. The ground below."

Yan Chen's uncles and aunts nodded, and Yan Chen's cousin said, "You have vision, boy, the house will be really dilapidated by then, and he can push it to rebuild on it if he uses it for himself." That is, and even if he doesn’t use it for his own living, the land will be worth a lot if he sells it, and if he doesn’t sell the land, he can still make money by building a few high-rise buildings on it.”

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, exactly, he bought those two properties for those two purposes."

Yan Chen's uncle asked, "How many rings are there in Jingshan?"

Yan Chen said, "On the fourth ring road, on the central axis of BJ City, his two properties are also listed as cultural relics protection, not bad!"

Yan Chen's cousin asked, "Is your house also listed as a national cultural relic protection?"

Yan Chen nodded slightly, "Well, our courtyard houses on the Shichahai side are basically listed as cultural relics protection objects."

Then his uncle Yan Chen looked at his son and his daughter-in-law and said, "I think we should buy a courtyard house? It doesn't have to be too big, two or three hundred square meters is about the same, and there should be five or six by then. One or seven or eight rooms, the population of our family is not complex, plus your parents over there, you two, your grandparents, and the two of us, when the time comes, add your two next generations, Five rooms are enough."

Yan Chen's cousin expressed his opinion immediately, "I have no objection, you just buy it if you like it."

But Yan Chen's cousin still hesitated, but seeing that Yan Chen's cousin had expressed his opinion, she followed suit, "I, I have no objection either!"

Although she said so, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen saw her eyes dodging and her expression was a little unnatural, so they understood that she didn't really agree with Yan Chen and his uncles buying the courtyard house.

Yan Chen's uncle and aunt naturally noticed it too, so Yan Chen's aunt immediately expressed her attitude, "Well, your father and I still like to live in a shorter place, your grandparents are older Well, if you live on a high floor, even though there is an elevator, if the elevator breaks down one day, and this person is trapped in the elevator, or climbing stairs, how can the elderly bear it?
So we will buy a slightly smaller courtyard house. For you, we will still buy you that building. When the young couple comes back to BJ, you will live in a courtyard house. If you don’t live in a courtyard house, think about it. There is also a place to live in the building. "

Yan Chen's cousin wanted to say no, but Yan Chen's cousin said first, "Thank you dad, thank you mom!"

Seeing her happy expression, Xiang Jin knew that the aunts had comforted her cousin!
Then I heard their aunt say again, "During the Spring Festival holiday, when you go out to play, you should also pay attention to it and see which real estate you like. When the holiday is over, we will sell this When things are settled, I think it is better to buy a house sooner rather than later, and the longer it is delayed, the longer the price will probably be.”

"Yes, Mom!" Yan Chen's cousin immediately agreed, with a very happy expression.

Yan Chen's cousin didn't look very happy, but said, "Two houses will cost a lot of money then."

After hearing his words, Yan Chen's cousin's sister-in-law's smile faded immediately, and then she looked at her in-laws, "Yes, Dad, Mom, two houses will cost a lot by then. What about the money, why don’t you just buy a courtyard house, anyway, our work focus is also there, and there are not many opportunities to come back to BJ?”

Yan Chen's uncle waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this, since we proposed to buy it, we still have the economic foundation and strength."

Yan Chen's aunt also said, "Yeah, my taxidermy shop and our fried chicken shops have made some money over the years, so it's enough to buy two houses, don't you worry?
What's more, when we buy this house, there is still an investment element in it. Although you are currently in the army, you don't need a lot of money. If the two of you are not in the army someday What, and you can guarantee that your next generation will also serve as soldiers instead of doing other things?Parents always have to think about their children and grandchildren, and they always have to leave something for them. "

Yan Chen's cousin and his wife didn't say anything anymore, which was a tacit consent to their consideration. Yan Chen's cousin's face once again raised a happy smile, and then said to Yan Chen's uncle and aunt. They are even more attentive.

Because everyone walked a lot when visiting the Forbidden City yesterday, the legs of the elders were a little sore to varying degrees, so everyone didn't go out on the second day of junior high school, and they all rested at home, but Yan Chen Except for the cousins ​​and the couple, who went out to look at the house.

After breakfast, Yan Chen's grandmother went back to the house to tidy up her things. Yan Chen's aunt opened the door and went in to talk to her. Then she saw the gold bracelet on her wrist, so she took her hand and asked with a smile. He said, "This is what Chenchen and girl Jin gave you?"

Grandma Mo nodded, with a happy and gentle smile on her face, "Oh, they went out that day, and then they bought one for me and girl Jin and her grandma, and it was pure gold!"

Yan Chen's aunt also laughed, "These two children are really filial?"

Yan Chen's grandmother nodded again, "Be filial, but be filial, all these years, your father and I have not spent a penny on food and clothing throughout the year, and they have always been responsible.

In this season of spring, summer, autumn and winter, there has been no interruption of clothes throughout the year, and there are several sets in each season. As for the fur, my father and I each have four pieces, and we bought two pieces for us before.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, we came from the provincial capital and took us to the mall to buy two pieces for each of us. From the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, my dad and I spent about 20 yuan on them. about ten thousand. "

Yan Chen's aunt helped her tidy up together, and suddenly stopped and sighed guiltily, "Oh, these two children are so filial, it makes us look unfilial, look at the two of us, and Hao Ze is always there Outside, didn't you take care of both of you, I feel ashamed to say it."

Yan Chen and his grandmother said, "Don't say that, and don't think that, your father and I understand your work and you, and Chen Chen and girl Jin also understand you.

Besides, even if you really took us there for the elderly, we are not used to it. We are not familiar with the local customs, eating habits and so on.

And we don't have any acquaintances over there, and you are usually so busy, we may not be able to be happy here when we are there.

You see, the young couple of Haoze are in the same place, and you are in the same place. We usually don’t see his grandson even if we miss him. Anyway, we are next to Chenchen and girl Jin. It is a kind of consolation. "

Yan Chen's aunt nodded, "I'm here to tell you one thing. After the Spring Festival, after we finish the house, you and Dad will see if you want to go there with us. Stay for a while?
Anyway, I have retired now, and I have time to accompany you two to take care of the old ones for a while, and let us do our filial piety in front of you. "

Grandma Mo pulled up the veto without even thinking about it, "No, no, that can't be done, girl Jin is pregnant now, this child Chen Chen has lost his mother since he was a child, and he has lost his grandma, his grandpa He is still in the army, and there is no elder in charge of the family in this matter, so what if we are not around to take care of it?

Although girl Jin and her grandparents are also taking care of her here, you can't rely on the elders over there for everything, and leave it to the elders over there, but we don't care about it here?How can that be?

Speaking of which, I told you that I was planning to find a time to tell you about our considerations," Yan Chen and her grandfather immediately stopped what they were doing.

Yan Chen's aunt looked at his mother-in-law and said, "Well, tell me!"

Yan Chen's grandmother said, "We plan not to live with you for a few years, and we will follow Chen Chen and Jin girl. While we are not very old and can still move, we will help They take their children.

Girl Jin and Chen Chen have been developing their careers in the past few years. After the child is born, Girl Jin has to go back to the company to continue working. If you ask for a nanny, how can it be successful?How can one's own family take care of them with more peace of mind?
I also checked your daughter-in-law's tone before, and what she meant was that they will give birth to a child in the future, and they will be handed over to her natal parents, so there is no need for the old one on our side.

That being the case, then we might as well help Chen Chen and Girl Jin take care of their children here, they need us more.

If you are free then, come and visit us. If you are not free, you can just make a phone call. Anyway, they won't treat us badly, so you don't have to worry. "

Yan Chen's aunt nodded and said, "Well, we can understand your thoughts, and probably know that you won't go there with us, and we are also very relieved to follow Chen Chen and girl Jin.

But how can I just call you?I'm retired now, and I'm free. I'll come back to see you and dad often, and since their children don't need our old belt, I'll wait until Minghan retires. We will move back to BJ, and we will live in BJ then, so we can take care of you. "

Grandma Mo asked, "Aren't you with Hao Ze and the others?"

Yan Chen's aunt said, "Oh, we won't go, since they are taking care of their children, we won't go, when the old people on both sides will have children, the theories of the two sides are inconsistent, and it is easy to have conflicts.

We will earn a little more money at that time, and just provide them with some help in materials. "

Grandma Mo nodded, "That's right, it's about the fragrance far away and the smell near the near, that's the reason. I don't often stand next to each other, but I will be more kind when I see you. This one is next to you. When the time comes, you will be more friendly." His living habits are not pleasing to the eye, and some of his living habits are not pleasing to the eye, and it is easy to have conflicts and opinions."

Yan Chen's aunt nodded and said, "That's right," she lowered her voice when she said this, "Our daughter-in-law is not as generous as Jin girl, and she is a little delicate."

Grandma Mo scolded her, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for that child to hear."

Yan Chen's aunt said, "It's true. I'm not talking nonsense. Originally, his father and I preferred to buy a courtyard house. Hao Ze had no objection, but that daughter-in-law did. She has a very magnanimous appearance, but in fact she is not very happy in her heart, she likes to live in that kind of high-rise buildings.

After hearing what Chenchen and girl Jin said, Minghan and I felt that it would be more cost-effective to invest in a courtyard house. It is a bit expensive at the moment, but in a few years or ten years, that number may double several times. Well, we still want to leave some property behind for these juniors.

But the daughter-in-law there didn’t understand what we meant, and she still wanted to live in a high-rise building. In the end, she couldn’t help it. Seeing that she was not very happy, we agreed to buy them a flat in BJ, and the daughter-in-law was happy all of a sudden. , the smile on his face, the one with that smile is Cancan, so, my father and I felt that this kid's pattern is bad, and he's still a bit selfish, alas."

Grandma Mo patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "The only child, she has a good family background, so it's inevitable that she will be spoiled and spoiled, so you should take care of her."

Yan Chen's aunt nodded, "Don't worry, I think so too. If I live with them, we will definitely not be able to get together at that time, so it's better for us to separate from them. If they have vacations then Well, if you want to come back to see us, we will come back and have a look. When we have a grandson in the future, if her father and I miss the grandson, we will just go over and have a look. Stay for a few days, and it is definitely impossible to wait for a long time."

Grandma Mo asked, "Then, do you have enough money to buy two houses? If not, we still have millions of dollars here, and you can use them."

Yan Chen's aunt said in surprise, "How many millions do you have left?"

Grandma Mo nodded and said, "In the past few years, we planted vegetables in greenhouses in our hometown and earned some money. Later, we went to manage the sandy land they contracted for Chen Chen and girl Jin. Not only did the two children give us money every month We are paid wages, and we also recognize [-]% of the shares in it, so we have dividends every year, and they also give us some pocket money from time to time. You say that we eat them and live them every day. They need to give pocket money, but the two children just want to give it, so we will exist there from now on."

Yan Chen's aunt nodded, "These two children are really filial!"

Grandma Mo said, "It's nothing, they bought the house in our provincial capital, and they installed it later, and we didn't pay a penny, so we just screwed it in."

Yan Chen's aunt sighed again, "Oh, compared with the two children, what we did is really far worse."

Grandma Mo said angrily, "Here we go again!"

Yan Chen's aunt laughed, and then Yan Chen's grandmother asked, "Do you have enough money?"

Yan Chen's aunt said, "It's enough, it's enough, don't worry, you and your money will be put away, and my father will keep it for himself, in case there is something urgent, just take it out and use it." .

My specimen shop has also made some money in these years, and the fried chicken shops opened by Hao Ze and others, the monthly profits are directly transferred to my account. He has made a lot of money, like some antiques collected by Minghan, he will sell one or two every year, so we still have more than enough money to buy two houses, so you don’t have to worry about it. "

Grandma Mo nodded, "Then I don't worry about that, so where are you going to buy this courtyard house?"

Yan Chen's aunt said, "This has not been confirmed yet. Chen Chen helped us contact the manager of the real estate agency. He said that he still has a few sets of that house in his hand, but he is now in his hometown and has to live I won’t be back in a few days, and I can confirm it after I come back and take us to see it.”

Grandma Mo nodded, "The real estate agency manager Chen Chen and the others know is an honest person. Since he said he has several houses in his hand, there should be nothing wrong."

"Well, that's it!"
