Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Buying a house is definitely something Yang Yunsheng has always wanted to do.

I own a house in the capital city.

As for why he wanted a house, besides a small part being because of Liu Ying, a more important reason was that Yang Yunsheng wanted a sense of belonging in the capital.

Although I always say that the Imperial Capital is my second hometown, to be honest...

Having no house and no family means lacking a sense of belonging.

As for whether or not to buy a good house, that's definitely a must.

His current net worth doesn't allow him to buy an apartment!

As for investing in real estate, that's even more impossible.

The reason is simple: future housing prices will only decrease, and if you want to rely on the appreciation of your property value, then your life is over.

Who knows, one day in the future, a certain large real estate group that claims to be the number one real estate group will go bankrupt and its boss will flee abroad.

Whether or not they come back is irrelevant now, since they've already enjoyed themselves.

The allure of the squatting dance is so strong that even Malaysians can't help but swoon.

After Yang Yunsheng bought the house in full, he said to his future mother-in-law, "Mom, I'll need your help to oversee the renovation of this house."

Song Wenxian hesitated. Her favorite things were flower arranging, painting, and art, as well as things like afternoon tea and playing mahjong, which were all forms of leisure.

However, since her son-in-law wanted her to help oversee the house renovation and furniture, she seemed to have no reason to refuse.

Of course, once the renovation was complete, she decided to buy all the furniture herself and give it to Yang Yunsheng so that he would know her taste.

After Song Wenxian agreed, Liu Ying whispered in Yang Yunsheng's ear, "My mother is the kind of person who hates trouble the most. I'm really surprised that she agreed to your request."

Just as Yang Yunsheng was about to reply to Liu Ying, Song Wenxian looked over.

"Yingying, what are you talking about?"

Liu Ying quickly replied, "It's nothing, it's nothing, Mom, let's go home quickly!"

Song Wenxian naturally agreed.

Yang Yunsheng hesitated. In his opinion, he hadn't bought any gifts, so how could he go to their door?
As he got into the car, he whispered to Liu Ying, "Yingying, what should we do? I didn't buy any gifts!"

It would be inappropriate not to bring a gift on a first visit.

Liu Ying then asked, "What's in your trunk?"

Yang Yunsheng thought for a moment: "Snacks, and a case of bottled water."

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

You should ask your mother about this.

As the saying goes, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."

But one thing is undeniable.

That's the treasure; it refuses to admit it's old.

Song Wenxian does indeed look young, appearing to be around thirty years old. Who would believe that this is a woman approaching fifty?

Once in the car, Liu Ying sat next to her mother and asked, "Mom, it's Sheng-ge's first time visiting, what should we bring?"

This is our first meeting, so I should definitely buy a gift.

It wasn't mainly for himself, but for Liu Ying's father.

Song Wenxian then said, "Your father likes to smoke and drink, so just have Yunsheng prepare some cigarettes and alcohol."

Yang Yunsheng also thought it made a lot of sense, but Liu Ying's next sentence made Yang Yunsheng fall silent.

"But Dad's cigarettes and alcohol are specially supplied. Where will Brother Sheng buy them?"

These words also silenced Song Wenxian.

Soon, Song Wenxian's eyes lit up.

“Your uncle has some, and your cousin and aunt are coming over later. Ask your cousin to bring over some cigarettes and alcohol from his house so Yunsheng can take them as gifts.”

Yang Yunsheng drove the car, his eyes wide open.

But Liu Ying said, "Okay! Anyway, my uncle is out, and his cigarettes and alcohol are going to go to waste. I'll call my cousin right now!" Liu Ying did what she said, took out her phone from her bag, and called Du Jun.

Song Wenjing and Du Jun will also be coming over for dinner today. After Liu Ying made the call, she asked, "Cousin, have you come yet?"

Du Jun replied, "I haven't arrived yet. I'm still at the foundation! I'm going back to change my clothes now, I'll be there in a while!"

After hearing this, Liu Ying said, "When you come over, bring your uncle's cigarettes and alcohol with you."

"Bring cigarettes and alcohol?"

Du Jun was stunned when he heard this.

"No, why bring cigarettes and alcohol? I'm coming here for dinner, do I have to bring gifts?"

Liu Ying explained, "Brother Sheng didn't know what to bring to my house. My mom said to bring cigarettes and alcohol, but as you know, my dad wouldn't accept regular cigarettes and alcohol. So she asked you to bring my uncle's cigarettes and alcohol to me."

Upon hearing this, Du Jun fell silent.

“You’re such a good cousin. If I touched my dad’s cigarettes and alcohol, he would beat me to death. You know that he only supplies one carton of cigarettes a month and two bottles of alcohol a year.”

For the first time, Liu Ying showed a slightly angry expression.

Are you bringing it or not?

Yang Yunsheng, who was in front, saw this scene through the car's rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh.

This must be the first time he's ever seen Liu Ying with such an expression!

Du Jun had no choice but to agree.
He just couldn't understand why Yang Yunsheng should bring him gifts like cigarettes and alcohol when he came to visit!
And these cigarettes and alcohol, do you know how valuable they are!

To put it bluntly, these cigarettes and alcohol are things you can't buy even if you have money; they're a symbol of status.

Do you know what "special supply" means?

Yang Yunsheng remained silent throughout, because there were some things he couldn't access either.

Of course, tonight, my father-in-law might bring out this wine to treat me, so I can taste what special-supply wine tastes like.

If you smoke, then forget it.

Yang Yunsheng had absolutely no feelings about smoking.

Simply put, smoking is harmful to health.

Of course, many crosstalk performers love to smoke, and they're practically a chimney.

Even his own master smoked.

When Yang Yunsheng first learned crosstalk, he also tried smoking, but later found that smoking was not suitable for him.

As for alcohol, it would be excessive not to drink.

Even after arriving, I still felt a chill down my spine.

Yang Yunsheng noticed that after arriving at Liu Ying's residential area, he would always experience this fuzzy feeling when he was about two or three kilometers away.

He could guess that he was being monitored.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, two armed soldiers at the gate stopped Yang Yunsheng's car and conducted an inspection.

Upon seeing Song Wenxian and Liu Ying, the car was immediately allowed to pass.

After entering, she didn't immediately open the door to her house, but waited for Du Jun to arrive.

About twenty minutes later, Du Jun arrived.

Du Jun was carrying a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor.

The wine was in small jars, and Yang Yunsheng didn't know what they were called.

But this cigarette is called South China Sea Little Panda. Yang Yunsheng had never heard of this cigarette name before.

He knew about red pandas; they were quite expensive.

The red pandas of the South China Sea are probably reserved for important figures like Liu Ying's father.

Ordinary people simply cannot access it. (End of Chapter)
