The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

She had originally planned to set up a stall to sell clothes today.

I heard that my fourth brother's wife and her family came back yesterday, and I realized that I hadn't seen my fourth brother's wife for quite some time.

In addition, her business has been doing quite well lately, so I thought I'd come and express my gratitude.

She also bought some food, which she put on the table after entering the house.

"That's good."

Shen Jingyue asked them to sit down and talk, and then poured them both a cup of tea.

Xie Yun asked, "Jingyue, I heard you bought a house near Peking University, is that true?"

This was something Lao Xiao told him about a while ago.

Mei Hong clearly knew this too, and asked curiously, "Yes, sister-in-law, why are you buying so many houses?"

Their family already has a house allocated by the military, so why do they need to spend money to buy another house? Isn't that just a waste of money?

Shen Jingyue was surprised that they all knew. She hadn't intended to hide it, as the children would be moving there once the place was renovated.

"I originally wanted to find a house to use as a warehouse, but the warehouse in the store is too small. I will have a lot of goods in the future, and the warehouse in the store will not be able to hold them all."

"When I was looking for a house, I saw a suitable courtyard house, which I thought was pretty good. There were several schools nearby, and it was also very close to Xiaochen's school. There were quite a few houses in the house."

"I was thinking that with more rooms, we could store our goods there in the future, and Xiaochen and the others could also live there when they go to school. It's closer, only about a ten-minute walk to school, which is much shorter than the distance from the residential compound to the school."

"I figured I had some spare cash, so I bought the house."

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy, but you should save the money instead of buying so many houses."

"I heard from Yu Chuan that many places are building new apartments now, and they even have elevators. If you want to buy a house, you might as well buy one of those apartments that are about to be completed. They're much better than these old houses."

How can old houses compare to new apartments? Those are multi-story buildings, and some even have elevators, so you won't have to go up and down stairs by yourself anymore. How convenient!

What's so great about those old houses? They'll get old and broken and need repairs later, so it's better to buy a better one from the start.

"I think courtyard houses are great. I prefer houses with courtyards to apartment buildings."

In modern times, many people live in high-rise buildings, but high-rise buildings are not good at all. The slightest noise from upstairs or downstairs can be extremely noisy.

It's better to have a detached house with its own yard; once the door is closed, there's no noise at all.

Moreover, there is a yard where you can cool off in the summer, and you can also have a small plot of land to grow some vegetables, fruits and other things.

"Moreover, things are developing very rapidly now, and more and more people are starting businesses, so housing prices may rise in the future."

"So I'm thinking of selling my house now if I find a suitable one. If the house price goes up in the future, I won't lose money buying this house."

Mei Hong looked at Shen Jingyue with a surprised expression.

"Fourth sister-in-law, how come what you said is exactly the same as what my husband said?"

A few days ago, Xiao Yuchuan also said that she wanted to buy a house, but she wanted to save the money first and buy a better house later.

She knows that some places are building new residential buildings now, and these buildings have elevators so she won't have to climb up and down stairs. So she plans to wait until the buildings are completed before buying one.

Let's save the money for now; it's not like we don't have a place to live.

Xiao Yuchuan also said that housing prices will become more and more expensive in the future, but she felt that even if they were expensive, how much more expensive could they be? Wouldn't it be better to save money now and buy a bigger and better house in the future?

"That's a fact. Everything will go up in price in the future, especially houses. Once all the houses on the construction site are completed and more people buy them, the prices will definitely rise."

Xie Yun agreed with her fourth daughter-in-law's statement, "The fourth daughter-in-law is right. If you want to buy a house, you should do it as soon as possible. Don't wait until the house price goes up again."

"If you ask me, what's so great about apartments? With people living upstairs and downstairs, it's so noisy if there are a lot of people."

"It's not even as good as a detached house with its own yard."

"It's convenient to have a yard for planting or drying blankets, and it'll be good for that too. Aren't you going to sell clothes?"

"Buying this large yard will make it easier for you to stock up on more goods and store them at home."

Xie Yun knew that her eldest son wanted to buy a house, but she didn't stop him.

It's good that they have their own house, because their current house belongs to the state, and it will be taken back after they pass away.

They might as well buy their own house.

Mei Hong trusted her fourth sister-in-law more, and hearing her say the same thing made her think more deeply.

Actually, if they were to buy a house now, they could still manage to do so if they gritted their teeth.

But the thought of spending so much money to buy a house made her feel a little heartbroken.

But what my mother-in-law just said seems to make sense. Buying an apartment is good, but it can be really noisy with the neighbors upstairs, downstairs, and on the left and right.

Previously, their unit had a family housing complex. Every day, you could hear the wives talking about what each family was doing, or who was arguing. You could hear almost anything that made a commotion from all directions.

Thinking about it this way, Mei Hong realized that the commercial housing wasn't as good as she had imagined.

"Then I'll discuss it with Yuchuan later."

"If your family is looking to buy a house, I think you could take a look at those courtyard houses. I think they're quite nice."

In the future, courtyard houses in Beijing will be incredibly expensive. Now that prices haven't risen too much, you might as well buy one.

"A courtyard house?" Mei Hong frowned.

"Isn't that too inconvenient?"

"I heard that newly built apartments nowadays all have bathrooms and toilets, but these traditional courtyard houses don't."

She wanted to buy a commercial apartment because it's convenient for everything.

This courtyard house is nice, but it's inconvenient.

"What's so difficult about that? If you buy a courtyard house, you can just build one yourself." Shen Jingyue felt that these were not problems at all.

Besides, the courtyard house she bought also needs to be renovated, and she will also build a toilet there.

I can fix one of these myself when the time comes.

"Yes, this courtyard house is wonderful. When the children grow up and get married, the place is spacious enough that they can sit in the courtyard, drink tea, and chat when they have free time. How wonderful!"

"If this were a commercial apartment, there wouldn't be any big space for you," Xie Yun added.

"That seems like a good idea." Mei Hong thought it made sense.

"Then I'll wait for Yuchuan to come back tonight and discuss it with him."

Mei Hong thought that buying a courtyard house wasn't a bad idea; she had misunderstood before.

Xie Yun and Mei Hong sat with Shen Jingyue for a while before heading back.

Mei Hong thought it was still early and she could go out to buy and sell clothes.

She doesn't want to waste any time that could be used to make money.
