Xu Fengfan carried Lin Miao from Bailifang Primary School to the west, riding for less than 5 minutes, turning left at the first intersection and entering Xicheng Street. And the common work unit of the two fathers, Xicheng Street, is derived from this road.

This area centered on Xicheng Street is the result of the first renovation of the old city in Oucheng District from the late 80s to the early 90s. On both sides of the road are new-style commercial building communities, which are much more magnificent in appearance than the PF area. The street places the office in this area, obviously to make it more passable on face, and if there are leaders who come up to inspect, it is better to let people see the urban development achievements of Oucheng District more intuitively.

The prices of these commercial buildings were not expensive at that time. Around 2000, the price basically fluctuated at 3,000 yuan per square meter, and before 95 years, the price should be lower, and a new house of 80 square meters can theoretically be won at most 150,000 or 60,000 yuan. Based on Lin Guorong's salary level, it is almost ten years' income.

And if Jiang Ping also goes out to work, the couple will be a little more diligent and thrifty, and they will even be able to save this money in six or seven years.

But the problem is that the housing prices were so cost-effective that the vacancy rate of commercial housing in this area of Xicheng Street reached nearly 20%. Among the 10 commercial houses, the sale rate may be only half of the remaining for sale, excluding some of the residents who have relocated.

No one bought the house back then, for a variety of reasons, but there were three main types of people.

These three types of people can all be found around Lin Miao's house.

The first category bears the brunt of it, and the first category is Lin Miao's own family. Lin Guorong and Jiang Ping used to be dual workers, one was an employee of a public institution and the other was a worker of a state-owned enterprise. Families like this often don't have the concept of buying a house at all. Because in this day and age, houses are usually allocated in units. As long as you meet certain conditions, apply a few more times, and wait for five or six years, you can always wait for the house to come down. Especially like now, Lin Guorong still has a small position in his body, plus he is married and has children, and the report has been made for many years. In Lao Lin's mind, the house is simply a low-hanging fruit, and it would be too bad to spend money to buy it.

Let's talk about the representatives of the second part of the crowd, it should be Zhang Miao's family. Zhang Miao's family was already quite rich at this time, and the bank deposit was not one million, but three or five hundred thousand was definitely there. The price of buying a commercial house is 1670,000 yuan, a house is 80 square meters, and their family pushed the building to rebuild on the original site, and then counted the decoration, the price is this price, and it is a one-time building of 4 floors, and the living area is simply not too large. So according to this line of thinking, most of the rich people in these years still choose to do it themselves.

In addition, there is the last part of the people left, that is, the other neighbors near Lin Miao's house who have average family conditions.

These old residents have lived in Tianji Lane for decades, on the one hand, they themselves rely on the nearby vegetable market to make a living, and there is no need to buy a house elsewhere, and secondly, even if they want to buy, they may not be able to pay so much money at one time.

So instead of taking the initiative to buy a house, it is better to wait patiently for the demolition.

In recent years, many grandfathers and grandmothers have been full of optimism about the demolition policy, and later facts have proved that the demolition compensation in this area of Tianji Lane is indeed a lot. Because from Tianji Lane, the straight line distance to the north is less than 200 meters is the Oujiang River. The city's plan for the riverside area is to build an urban landscape belt and a CBD business center. Therefore, although the old people have not read any books, and even many of them are illiterate at all, they will not move away rashly based on the experience of the rivers and lakes. As for spending extra money to buy a house, I won't even think about it.

The commercial housing in Xicheng Street was neglected for a long time, and it was not until 98 years later, when Dongou City's economy made great strides forward and the city's foreign population surged, that real estate investment began to slowly appear.

In this regard, Lin Miao's family has the most forward-looking vision is his uncle, Lin Guohua.

When Lin Guorong was waiting for the unit to be divided, Lin Guohua had already smelled the smell of capital. In 97, Lin Guohua had the courage to borrow money to buy a house, and then rented it out and used the rent collected to pay off the money. Later, his wife, Lin Miao's aunt Ye Huifang, simply resigned from the unit and started a real estate agency herself.

Twenty years later, Lin Guohua and Ye Huifang's family relied on speculation and selling houses, and their family assets have exceeded at least 100 million. Of course, in order to prevent Lin Miao from borrowing money from their family, Lin Guohua never revealed how much savings he had.

So if it weren't for the fact that Uncle was selfish, stingy, snobbish, insidious, hypocritical, greedy for money, jealous, cold-blooded, unkind, unrighteous, etc., Lin Miao would still admire him in his heart.

A few days before Lin Miao came back from rebirth, she also thought about whether to persuade Jiang Ping to get a real estate agent as soon as possible.

But then I thought about it and gave up.

Not to mention that Jiang Ping is not a business material at all, just saying that he is only 6 years old this year, and he can't even keep his New Year's money during the Chinese New Year, and it is even more impossible to have a say in something as important as family investment. I can only wait for the future to take another step and see one step at a time.

In Lin Miao's heart, the key to making money is, in the final analysis, fate.

Just like Jiang Ping's younger brother, Lin Miao's uncle Jiang Yang, after graduating from junior high school, he gnawed at home for two years, and then went to become a soldier, and when he came back from being a soldier, no one thought that this kid could make a name for himself. But who would have thought that just a few years after that, Jiang Yang would make millions of dollars by relying on all kinds of side doors that could not be spread, and later his fortune was so high that he went against the sky, and everything he bought rose when he speculated on stocks, and he made money by opening stores and selling everything. After Lin Guorong collapsed back then, if Lin Miao's family hadn't relied on Jiang Yang's funding, they might not even be able to eat.

Lin Miao sat behind Xu Fengfan, looking at the old scene of Xicheng Street, which had not yet been surrounded by private cars, and her thoughts were infinitely divergent.

With the car knocking violently, Xu Fengfan rode the car onto the road, and Lin Miao finally came back to his senses.

Immediately after, the two entered the gate of the community.

In this year's new-style community, there are no security guards, and the so-called gate is actually an empty gate hole that anyone can enter casually. After the doorway, there are a lot of commercial houses inside.

Lin Miao rode forward for more than ten meters and stopped, and then laughed and hugged Lin Miao, who was weak when he got off the bike, from the back seat, and complained: "My brother is taller than you in kindergarten!"

"Do you really think that the descendants of Yan and Huang are a family, and everyone has the same genes?" Lin Miao got out of the car, looked up at the bamboo pole spirit who had not yet graduated from elementary school, and his height had already exceeded 160, and sighed helplessly, "My dad is less than 165, and your dad is more than 170, so he is not the same by nature, okay?"

"You're still too short, you shouldn't be so big genetically. Xu Fengfan gestured very unkindly.

Lin Miao looked at him with dead fish eyes.

Xu Fengfan laughed, pushed the bicycle, and entered the parking lot of the community.

A few minutes later, Xu Fengfan took Lin Miao and walked to a 6-story building. The locked door downstairs is a rare electronic lock in this year's residential buildings, which not only has a doorbell installed, but also has its own intercom.

Xu Fengfan pressed the doorbell button in room 602, the doorbell rang twice, and then the microphone was picked up, and a woman's voice came out.

"Hey, who?"

"Mom, it's me, I'm back with a prodigy!"

The microphone was hung up directly on the other end, and then the door lock downstairs made a very loud sound, and the iron door popped open.

This is the good thing about a new house, you can open the door and make such a big movement, pretending to be loud in front of the poor.

Lin Miao followed Xu Fengfan in, and casually closed the iron door that would have been automatically closed, and there was a loud bang behind him.

Xu Fengfan said: "This door is not good, the sound is too loud." If someone in the building comes back a little late in the evening, the whole building will be woken up. Luckily, my family lives in a high house, so the impact is slightly less. ”

Lin Miao nodded and said, "Dead Dao friends don't die poor Dao, your mentality is quite good." ”

"Huh?" Xu Fengfan obviously hadn't heard the first half of the sentence, and he was confused and couldn't answer.

Lin Miao's physical strength was poor, and when she climbed to the 6th floor, she was already out of breath.

The door of Xu Fengfan's house was at the staircase, the door had already opened, Xu Fengfan took off his shoes and entered the house, and by the way, he took a pair of slippers for Lin Miao.

Lin Miao changed into slippers and went in, and slowly exhaled first.

At this time, a middle-aged woman who looked about forty years old and a little fat came out of the kitchen, and when she saw Lin Miao, she immediately showed a kind smile and asked, "You are from the Guorong family, right?"

"Hmm. Lin Miao immediately pretended to be cute, and deliberately said in a milky voice, "Hello Auntie, my name is Lin Miao, I'm disturbing you." ”

"Eh, don't pretend to be garlic!, you don't usually talk like that!" Xu Fengfan couldn't stand it, and directly debunked it.

Lin Miaoli ignored him, walked up to Xu Fengfan and his mother, took off his schoolbag, opened the zipper, took out two packets of tea secretly from home, and said, "Auntie, this is the companion that my father asked me to bring you, and he said that he wanted to give a gift to him for the first time." ”

"Ouch, isn't your dad funny!" Xu Fengfan's mother laughed, thinking in her heart, this Lin Guorong is not as unbearable as her old Xu said, and she also knows that it is quite polite to let her son bring some greeting gifts?

"No, no, there are a lot of tea leaves in my aunt's house. Xu Fengfan's mother stuffed the tea back into Lin Miao's schoolbag.

Lin Miao insisted very much: "Auntie, you let me take it all back, my dad should scold me, if you don't take a pack, I'll take a pack back, so that my dad won't talk about me." ”

Xu Fengfan's mother picked up the tea leaves, looked at the packaging, and made sure that it was not a good tea, so she nodded and said, "Okay, since your father is so hearted, Auntie will take a packet, thank you Dad!"

Lin Miao immediately said: "It's right for my dad to thank you, my dad always told me that Ah Fan's dad took good care of him in the unit." ”

"Huh?" Xu Fengfan's mother looked at Lin Miao's sincere expression and couldn't help but look confused.

Isn't that right......

Listening to his own Lao Xu, he and Lin Guorong have long been incompatible and incompatible......

And Lao Xu has only been fixed for three things every day after going home: eating, watching news broadcasts, scolding Lin Guorong, and not even being so diligent in chatting with her......

With this attitude, can Lin Guorong still read him?

It can't be this kid's nonsense, right?

No, no, such a young child, even if he won the first prize of the district's Olympiad, it is impossible for him to be so precocious.

Could it be Lin Guorong's own meaning?

When Xu Fengfan's mother thought of this, she immediately asked, "Child, did your father ask you to tell us this, or did you think of it yourself?"

Lin Miao hated to put his index finger in his mouth and pretend to be naïve, but it was too disgusting to do this, he really couldn't do it, so he changed his tone a little more normal, restrained the feeling of snorting, and said: "My father asked me to say it, and he said very seriously, you must bring the words." ”

"Oh, okay, good, Auntie knows......" Xu Fengfan's mother was happy. It's been fighting for more than half a year, and it's still her family Lao Xu who won, right? Lin Guorong is good if he softens, but he can think of letting his son take the talk, this method is really good. Everyone has a staircase and a good face. She continued: "You go back and tell your father that the previous events, Ah Fan's father will treat it as if it was all over, and everyone will get along well in the future......"

"Who said it was over?" a slender figure stepped out of the master bedroom in the house.

Xu Jiachang interrupted his wife's words while wearing a pajama, and then said to Lin Miao with a very serious face: "Child, you come to my house to play, uncle is very welcome." You're a good boy, uncle knows. But you don't have to worry about your uncle and your father's affairs. If your dad wants to talk to your uncle, you go back and tell him and let him come by himself. It's not face-to-face, and the uncle won't pay attention to him. No matter what he asked you to bring, my uncle didn't hear it. ”

Lin Miao pursed her mouth, revealing a pink and tender little grievance.

"Xu Jiachang, what are you doing?" Xu Fengfan's mother saw Lin Miao's cute and pitiful little appearance, and immediately became overflowing with maternal love, and said unhappily, "The child is so young, why are you scaring him?"

Xu Jiachang didn't speak, turned around and went back to the house.

Xu Fengfan's mother touched Lin Miao's head with a smile, and said with a loving face: "Child, Auntie made some mung bean cakes, you go to his room with Ah Fan to play first, and Auntie brings you snacks." ”

Lin Miao pretended to nod obediently, followed Xu Fengfan, and entered his bedroom.

Xu Fengfan's mother quickly brought the pastries in, and then as soon as the door closed, Xu Fengfan couldn't wait to take out the red and white machine and asked Lin Miao, "Do you know how to play?"

Lin Miao was already a little unfamiliar with this thing, and nodded and said, "A little bit." ”

"Just a little bit. Xu Fengfan smiled and plugged in the line, his movements were very skillful, and after a while, the picture of Super Mario jumped out on the screen of the small TV. He handed the handle to Lin Miao in a very hostish manner, and introduced, "Oh, press this is a jump, you can jump up and step on it when you see a monster coming, but if you are touched by a monster, you will die, the stones in the sky can be broken, this side is up and down, left and right, we have one life, you try it first, if you die, you will replace me......"

Lin Miao took the handle, looked at the English displayed on the screen, and adjusted it to start very familiarly, and pressed it lightly.

Xu Fengfan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Miao, who had a calm expression, squinted his eyes and asked, "Eh, in fact, you also have it at home......, right?

"Big brother, I'm not illiterate, of course I can understand this kind of elementary school-level English. Lin Miao said.

"What nonsense, where did you get English in elementary school? Did you go to sixth grade for nothing?" Xu Fengfan retorted righteously, and then said with certainty, "You definitely have a game console at home! Otherwise, you tell me, how did you read that English?"

Lin Miao said lightly: "Death is a big special." ”

Xu Fengfan didn't believe it, got up and rushed out of the door, shouting, "Dad, come here, I'll ask you something!"
