Chapter 292: Encountering the Dead

This time I came to the provincial capital to buy a house, according to Yu Mingyue's original intention, I wanted to buy a house that could not only solve the accommodation problem of my sisters and brothers, but also have a lot of room for appreciation in the future.

Even if you can't buy a villa mansion that can make a lot of money in the future, you have to buy a new house that will be in a prime location in a few years.

After all, in 2000, by 2003, the housing prices in Chengdu were still very cheap, and the commercial housing was less than 2,000 yuan. But after 2003, housing prices have been rising year by year.

Yu Mingyue really doesn't have spare money to invest in real estate to make a fortune now, but Xu was poor and scared in her previous life, so in this life, what she has always pursued is the principle of being able to earn a little bit and earn an extra point.

Therefore, taking advantage of this transfer of younger siblings and the need to buy a house in the provincial capital, Yu Mingyue of course hopes to buy a property that will increase in value in the future.

But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny, which is not false.

After the mother and daughter went around the provincial capital for a few days, Yu Mingyue recognized a fact: even though it is only 2000 now, Chengdu, as the capital city of Sichuan, is really cheap compared to more than ten years later, but when she wants to buy it now, it is really difficult to buy.

Those villas that are frighteningly expensive compared to the prices of this era, but the villas that have appreciated the most after more than ten years are not to mention. In this era of more than 1,000 per capita wages, villas in provincial capitals are in short supply.

Not to mention that this is only 2000 years, the price of the villa has reached nearly 10,000 square meters, the most tragic thing is that even if she goes home to smash the pot and sell iron and tighten her belt to make up millions, she will not be able to buy a set of hundreds of square meters of high-end atmosphere and high-grade mansions for a while.

And the high-rise buildings that meet the required conditions and are in prime locations in her memory have either been sold out or the old houses have not been demolished and rebuilt.

It's rare to see two places that have already been put on the market for construction, and even if they haven't been sold yet, they will have to wait another year and a half to complete them.

As for her situation, she has to buy a house that she can move in with her bags when the school starts in September.

In the end, Yu Mingyue had to change her original plan, and on the fifth day of arriving in the provincial capital, she found a three-bedroom and two-hall second-hand house in the family community of a state-owned unit in Jinniu District in the way introduced by the TongguΓ² Housing Agency.

The house is a good size, after all, the house has three bedrooms, and the kids can live in it all on the weekend.

And because the freight company has set up a branch in the provincial capital, Yu Zhiqing and Kong Xingjiang, two big men who have often come to the provincial capital countless times in recent years, do not need to live in a hotel after having this house, and can have a fixed place to settle here.

Coupled with the location of this house, although it is not too close to the foreign Chinese school where the three children of Daxiao Long study, it is convenient to have transportation. And it's next to Yu Mingyan's Southwest Finance.

After listening to the housing agency generally talk about the situation of the house, Yu Mingyue and Kong Xiaoyu were a little moved. In addition, the two of them didn't find a suitable house for a few days, and they didn't want to delay it any longer, so they paid the introduction fee immediately and asked the people from the real estate agency to make an appointment to see the house on the same day.

After I went, I found that the place where this house was located was an old-fashioned community built in the seventies, and the house was still the kind of old-fashioned red brick house that was so old in Yu Mingyue's eyes.

But the victory is that the greening in the community is good, and the residents are not complicated, and they are basically employees of a unit.

And although it is an old house, the owner renovated it a few years ago in order to live comfortably.

Because the owner's family took care of the house wholeheartedly, Yu Mingyue's mother and daughter followed into the house, only to see that the tiled floor and the white-painted walls in the house looked clean and new.

This alone makes the mother and daughter two more satisfied.

However, what satisfied Yu Mingyue the most was the relatively modern equipment such as liquefied gas stoves, range hoods, cabinets, and wall cabinets in this kitchen.

After all, in many old-fashioned buildings, most residents still burn honeycomb coal stoves.

Don't even think about the range hood, basically when you are stir-frying, the doors and windows are greatly opened for ventilation. But in the end, I still ate the fried garlic sprouts at noon, and when I slept in bed at night, I could still smell the unique smell of garlic sprouts in the pork at noon.

Even Yu Mingyue was satisfied with this house, let alone a peasant woman like Kong Xiaoyu, when she looked at this house, it was completely high-end and high-end.

After looking at the house, although the mother and daughter said that it was okay, they were very satisfied.

But buying a house is a big deal after all, and before you decide to buy it, you still have to ventilate your family. And when they came, several old people in the family said that they were waiting to hear the good news.

Under such considerations, when Yu Mingyue expressed her position to the housing agency and the landlord, she said that she had to go home and discuss it with her family and give a reply a day later.

Such a statement is reasonable and understandable, and when they saw that the mother and daughter were both real owners who wanted to buy a house, they politely sent the mother and daughter out of the community.

The only thing that makes the housing agency have some sympathy with the owner may be that during the whole process of looking at the house, Yu Mingyue seems to be the one who makes the decision, which makes them somewhat unacceptable.

But in the end, I can only sigh silently in my heart: The world is so big, there are no surprises!

On the way home, the two mothers were not present, so they expressed their opinions and openly summarized the advantages and disadvantages of this suite.

After reaching a satisfactory conclusion, he called home again and explained the situation of the house in detail.

After all, although this house of more than 110 square meters is an old house, the owner also said that it will not be sold if it is less than 100,000 yuan.

Today, although 100,000 yuan is not a huge amount of money in Yu Mingyue's family, buying a house is actually a big deal for any family.

So when she left after watching the room, Yu Mingyue said that she was going home to discuss with her family, but she was not perfunctory.

After making the phone call, after getting the support of Yu Tianzhou, the two elders at home, and Yu Zhiqing, things inevitably changed, and Yu Mingyue also specially called the housing agency, saying that she would sign the contract tomorrow.

As for the big and small dragon brothers, they have no say in this kind of family affairs. But when the brothers heard that their mother and sister had seen a suitable house in the provincial capital, they were also overjoyed.

Those who rejoiced in this, in addition to the people who stayed at home, naturally also included Kong Xingming, who was in the provincial capital.

Although it was not until the next day that he went through the relevant procedures such as the transfer of ownership, when Kong Xingming mentioned that he wanted to celebrate the purchase of the house that afternoon, Kong Xiaoyu, who has always been very frugal, agreed very happily.

Because it has rained in Chengdu in the past two days and the weather has become cooler, Kong Xingming directly set the celebration location at the hot pot restaurant.

Sichuan people love to eat hot pot, and it's not false at all.

On dog days, the reason why Sichuan people call friends to rush to eat hot pot is that they have a spicy, spicy, fresh and fragrant hot pot and sweat, which is really enjoyable.

And in winter, and on rainy days, there are no need to say why, there must be a variety of enjoyable sayings.

Anyway, for Sichuan people, eating hot pot is for enjoyment. In the face of the pleasure of this thing, other reasons seem to be insufficient.

In 2000, the people's living standards have been greatly improved compared with before, and everyone's requirements for food have made a qualitative leap, and they have begun to advocate some elements of health, nutrition and health.

It just so happened that this year, people in the provincial capital became popular to eat fish head hot pot.

There is a saying in China that you eat and make up for it. Eating fish heads is naturally replenishing the brain.

It can be seen that at this time, not only the living standards of urban people have been improved, but the corresponding social competition and work pressure are also higher than before.

If you spend too much brainpower, you naturally have to eat some animal brains at any time to replenish it.

In fact, in her previous life, when she saw that the fish head was so sought after, Yu Mingyue had such a conjecture.

At that time, the root of her idea that may sound ridiculous, but I have to say that it is a little crooked, actually originated from the fish head hot pot restaurant that Kong Xingming took their mother to patronize today.

Tan fish head.

This is a chain store that has opened catering enterprises and businesses in major cities across the country. Yu Mingyue, who studied at Sichuan Normal University in her previous life, worked as a summer job at this store in Qingyang Palace during the summer vacation of her freshman year.

To this day, she still remembers that in the hot summer, the business of this restaurant was so good that it was bursting, and dozens of queues of diners were willing to wait in a long line.

At that time, she was working as a summer job in this store, and she was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground as soon as the meal was opened, wishing that her parents could give her a few more legs back then.

In addition to being busy, I often have to be criticized by customers who lose their temper at the service staff because they have waited too long, or have waited too long for the bottom of the pot and the dishes to be served.

As a service staff, because you have to follow the code that the guest is God, in addition to apologizing, in addition to explaining, in addition to appeasing the guest, you must not talk back to the guest, even if the guest is unreasonable, you must not throw your face.

The clay man also has three points of anger, even in the previous life, Yu Mingyue, who was weak and bullying and had no temper in the eyes of others, would have the feeling of wanting to fight back against the other party, but he couldn't get aggrieved.

It was in this situation that she had such a comical conjecture about these diners who were so loyal to the fish head.

And today, when she came to the door of the fish-head hot pot restaurant in Qingyang Palace again, and saw many diners waiting in the rest area inside the gate again, the funny speculation in her previous life appeared in Yu Mingyue's mind again, making her grin.

The ancients said that a beautiful woman's smile can give birth to a hundred charms.

has a cute baby face, which often makes people guess her age many years younger than Yu Mingyue, no matter how sweet the smile is, in addition to making people feel sweet and cute, there is no trace of charm.

But her faintly smiling appearance really attracted the attention of many waiting diners and the service staff in the lobby.

It is human nature to love beautiful and good things and things.

Yu Mingyue, who was 165 tall half a year ago, was nearly 167 in half a year, but her weight still remained around 50kg, and her figure looked tall and slender.

Even if she has a baby face and is young, in the eyes of those who see her, even if she is not rated as a beautiful beauty, she can definitely be rated as a beautiful and sweet girl.

And compared with the Chengdu eyebrows with snowy skin, because they often go to the ground to help adults work since they were children, although they will do sunscreen protection every time, their skin tone has become light wheat, and their complexion looks very healthy and sunny Yu Mingyue, in Chengdu, a place where snow-like skin and eyebrows can be seen everywhere, it is even more special and eye-catching.

Adjectives such as sweet and cute little beauty, sunny and healthy beautiful girl, appear in many people's minds at this time.

If it was in a previous life, Yu Mingyue would definitely not be used to such a attention ceremony.

But I have to say that in her rebirth life, she not only changed the fate of many people, but her own character also changed a lot unconsciously.

She's used to being noticed, but she's also used to not caring about things that come from strangers but don't matter to her.

At this time, Yu Mingyue seemed to be unaware of her appearance and her silent commotion with a smile.

Yu Mingyue took Kong Xiaoyu's hand, walked two steps behind Kong Xingming side by side, and after seeing the overcrowded rest and waiting area in the gate, she showed a coquettish and helpless expression and asked Kong Xingming in front of her.

"Uncle, you won't fail to book in advance, will you?" After all, Yu Mingyue at this time was most concerned about and only noticed this problem. didn't know that her little daughter's delicate state made many people around her look eye-catching, and at the same time, they secretly gave various praises.

"You still have to worry about this, can you still have no place to sit with your uncle?" When Kong Xingming turned around and replied with a smile, he also glanced at Kong Xiaoyu, and when he saw Kong Xiaoyu's restraint, his eyes immediately looked around for the welcome lady who arranged a seat for him.

Although he decided to dine here when he got home in the afternoon, as a provincial agent of several well-known brand drinks and liquors in China, he has not been in vain in the provincial capital in the past two years, so he naturally has a way to book a private room in this frequented restaurant.

Kong Xingming swept around, and saw that the only welcome lady in the lounge area of the front hall was busy greeting guests, and he was not in a hurry, so he simply stopped and looked back at Yu Mingyue.

didn't look at it twice, so he quipped with disgust: "Hey, Xiaoyue, look at how thin you are, why don't you just grow meat?" There must be a seat, and you can just eat it for a while, and you really have to make up for it, and they all say that eating more of this fish head is very beneficial. ”

Hearing Kong Xingming's jokes, Yu Mingyue rolled her eyes very cooperatively: "Hey, what about my uncle, eating fish heads can replenish my brain power, why did you say that eating it can fattening me?" ”

"Hehe, even if a smart girl like you doesn't need to make up for her brain, it's good to make up for some meat. Otherwise, when you go back in a few days, your grandmother will put you on the scale, and if you lose a few taels of meat, you won't have to settle accounts with me. ”

Yu Mingyue was completely speechless at this time, and rolled her eyes again and said, "Hey, uncle, don't get involved with my grandma, can you still have a good chat?" I'm all strong like this, why did you become a thin man in your mouth uncle, I think you're ready to fatten me like a pig for the New Year? When Yu Mingyue said, she also picked up her two arms in a funny way, and made a big grimace at Kong Xingming.

In fact, the two of them were so funny, because they saw that Kong Xiaoyu on the side was a little restrained at this time.

Since arriving in Chengdu, Kong Xingming has also taken the mother and daughter to high-end restaurants and hotels to spend a few times, and every time she finds that Kong Xiaoyu is uncomfortable, the two of them help her relax in this way.

After all, Kong Xiaoyu has been a rural woman with her duty for so many years, although her family is developed, she has never been far away before. When I was in Kapok, I rarely went to a big restaurant other than my own industry to eat, and it was reasonable to have such a nervous expression.

Sure enough, Kong Xiaoyu, who was originally a little restrained, after hearing the conversation between his uncle and nephew playing with each other like this, the feeling of being a little nervous and uncomfortable before really decreased a lot, and he covered his mouth and laughed next to him.

"Hey, look at the two of you, this hall is crowded, and you're not afraid to make people laugh." Kong Xiaoyu scolded with a smile in her mouth, but habitually raised her hand and pinched the flesh skin behind Yu Mingyue's shoulder.

"You girl, your uncle is not wrong, you are indeed too thin, if the fish head in this house is delicious in a while, you can eat more." After speaking, he also swept the overcrowded hall and said seriously: "Look, so many people are lining up to eat, in addition to being delicious, it must be good to eat more fish heads." ”

Hearing her say this, Kong Xingming next to him immediately chuckled and said, "Yes, it must be beneficial."

After a while, you can eat more, the taste of the fish head in this house is really good, even if it is a fish head, but the fishy smell is not at all, and it is very fragrant.

At most once, what did one person do with four catties of net fish head, hehe, hehe, I can't stop eating it, and I was swollen miserably afterwards. When Kong Xingming said this, he was a little embarrassed.

Listening to his exaggerated compliments, and saying that it is called a slip, it proves that this product often comes to eat, and he loves to eat this fish head very much.

Yu Mingyue was a little crying and laughing when she heard it on the side, and she was even more embarrassed in her heart: It's a pity that Mr. Tan didn't invite this foodie to be an advertising spokesperson for Tan Yutou.

Kong Xingming's goods, in order to make Kong Xiaoyu relax, are also open-minded.

After being amused to laugh for a while, Kong Xiaoyu suddenly thought that a lifestyle of overeating was harmful to health, and he immediately held back his laughter.

patted Kong Xingming on the shoulder, pretending to scold with a stern face: "Oh, they all say that the rice is swollen and pus, how old are you, why are you still like a baby." If you love to eat, then you can eat it a few more times, why don't you know how to be in moderation.

Hey, I think you just don't have a woman around you, according to me."

As soon as he heard Kong Xiaoyu mention this again, Kong Xingming's hairs were about to stand up, and he begged for mercy: "Oh, eldest sister, it's time to eat soon, you can spare me today." Don't talk about me, look at you, are you very busy at home in the first half of the year, I think you are much thinner than during the New Year.

Alas, I also said that I am not short of money at home now, and if you have a lot of work in the field, you should ask someone to help, and you can go around the garden and direct them to do things."

In order to be afraid that Kong Xiaoyu would repeat the old words, Kong Xingming directly took away the right to speak, and Kong Xiaoyu was counted as the chatter.

It sounded like the sister and brother were correcting each other's mistakes, but there was a lot of warmth in it, Yu Mingyue stood aside with the corners of her mouth curled and did not interject, enjoying the happiness of caring for each other.

Fortunately, at this time, the welcome lady who brought the guests also walked over with a kind but enthusiastic smile.

"Hello Mr. Kong, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. Mr. Tan ordered it for you today."

This welcome lady, who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, obviously knows Kong Xingming, and when she talks to Kong Xingming, she nods to Yu Mingyue and Kong Xiaoyu with a smile very kindly.

When Yu Mingyue heard the word Mr. Tan, she was really stunned for a moment. In her previous life, she worked in this store for nearly two months, so she naturally knew who Mr. Tan was referring to in the welcome mouth. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I didn't expect her uncle to mix so well in the provincial capital in the past two years that she was impressed.

Yu Mingyue sighed in her heart and followed behind Kong Xingming, and when she walked to the private room with Kong Xiaoyu in her arms, she happened to walk into a group of men and two women from outside the lobby door.

When she was not at all defenseless, the young man in the group, the young man she least wanted to meet again in her life, had already seen them and recognized her back in the crowd at a glance.

This man is Heyang, who just returned to Chengdu from Hong Kong today, and then, at the request of his mother, brought his aunt here to eat and try it.

In this world, there are some people, even if you haven't seen you for many years, but you can recognize them from the crowd just by a back.

This is the case with He Yang at this time, except for a few photos sent to him by Wang Yang several times a year, he has not really appeared in front of Yu Mingyue for many years.

But at this time, he was more than ten meters away, and he recognized the owner of the slender back with just one back.

At this moment, as a successful person, he has long been accustomed to being calm and moderate, and he has become accustomed to not being frightened, and he can't control himself quickly, and wants to shout "Xiaoyue|" loudly, and then quickly catch up with this little girl who has haunted him for many years, wants to try to forget but can't forget, and can't let go.

Then there was none, and I didn't dare to have it. Because he didn't have the courage to face her yet.

That's right, in He Yang's opinion, Yu Mingyue is the little girl that he, an old cow, shouldn't be able to have.

Since that incident at home many years ago, and after he did something, he doesn't feel like he's still a good person. But even so, he never considered himself a shameless person.

After discovering his true feelings, for many years before today, he has not been able to face the feelings and desires that he should not have for a child. Hope. He is not ashamed of such a despicable and shameless self.

He tried a lot to do this, but in the end, he lost to himself. Or that he underestimated what everyone called love. For her, he couldn't let go at all, and he didn't want to let go.

At least, he wants to wait for her to grow up, and when she understands what love is, he will confess to her personally, and then she will decide whether he is qualified to accompany her for the rest of her life.

This kind of very turtle feathers, very ostrich, or it can be said that he will not die without the heart of the Yellow River, he just made it.

Fortunately, his decision is only a way of scarring friends and hurting friends. Even when Wang Yang heard him talk about it for the first time, he almost shook his jaw first, and then laughed, and this laugh laughed at him for many years.

In the end, He Yang still restrained himself, and did not rush up to stop Yu Mingyue, but just stood at the door, staring blankly at her back and disappearing around the corner.

In fact, over the years, he has always known in his heart that there is a reason that he can't understand, which makes her very dislike to have an intersection with him. He was even more reluctant to admit that her dislike for him seemed to reveal disgust.

He had also guessed that she would be like this, whether it was because she was precocious when she was a child, and many years ago she saw the unconsciously possessive desire in his eyes when he looked at her.

But at that time, even he didn't realize that he was

"Ah Yang, Ah Yang."

"Huh? Mom, what's the matter? ”

Heyang's mother and his aunt glanced at each other, and both of them saw confusion and surprise in each other's eyes. After all, for so many years, they had never seen He Yang, who had always been calm and unfazed, so out of shape, and she shouted twice in a row before he obviously came back to his senses.

"What's the matter, did you see an acquaintance?" Although He's mother asked, she didn't think that her son would have such an abnormal reaction if he met an acquaintance here.

So when she asked this, she glanced at the place where Yu Mingyue and her party disappeared just now. There are no strange people or things in and out of it.

"Oh, yes, I seem to have seen an acquaintance just now, but because the person didn't turn around, I didn't dare to confirm it, so I took a few more looks." He Yang's face was calm, and he walked forward as he spoke, but he knew very well that this excuse was too bad.

But at this time, facing the two elders of his mother and aunt, whose faces were full of curiosity and inquiry, he seemed to have to use this excuse to perfunctory.

Because He Yang knows very well that since Wang Yang's bad friend betrayed himself in front of his mother and revealed his crush on Xiaoyue's girl, he really didn't dare to think that if his mother saw the live-action version of Xiaoyue today, she would do something unexpected.

That's right, today's encounter was not deliberately made. It's all a coincidence.

If he had a choice, He Yang didn't want to meet her on such an occasion, when he was unprepared

But a coincidental word is not that you can avoid it if you want to, and you can avoid it if you can.

Although in the previous life, Yu Mingyue also ate the fish head of this family. But after reliving a lifetime, she still ate it for the first time today.

The taste of the same shop, made in a short period of time, must not have changed. But what it tasted like when she ate it in her previous life, in addition to thinking it was delicious, she definitely couldn't remember the specifics.

The only thing she knows for sure now is that she is in a different state of mind when she eats the same taste of fish head.

In my previous life, I had a monthly dinner in the lobby with all my colleagues in the store. And today, it is to accompany relatives, as a consumer, to sit in this high-end and comfortable private room in this era to enjoy food.

In this era, even though the decoration of this restaurant was considered luxurious among hot pot restaurants, it had not yet reached the level of having a bathroom in a private room.

Eating hot pot, no matter what season it is, men who can drink love to drink some beer, and women generally drink some drinks.

There are three emergencies in life, a few drinks are down, and one of the urgencyes in Yu Mingyue's life is coming.

On the bright side, although it was her first time to eat at this restaurant. But even if the memory of this shop comes from a previous life, it does not prevent her from taking her mother to find the bathroom accurately without asking the waiter for directions.

When she came out of the women's toilet and was washing her hands at the sink, Yu Mingyue felt that someone was standing behind her, but she didn't care.

After all, the business of this shop is so good, even the toilet is full of people, who stipulates that those who come here must go into the toilet to solve the three urgent problems. After all, the toilet also has a name, and it is called "toilet", right?

And when she swept through the mirror and found that there were two women muttering and whispering in Cantonese behind her, Yu Mingyue didn't care even more. So I've been chatting with my mother casually about the arrangements for buying a house tomorrow.

However, at the moment when Yu Mingyue turned around and took Kong Xiaoyu, who had also washed her hands, was about to leave the sink, the one who had been standing behind their mother and muttering in Cantonese was the one who was relatively fat, and suddenly exclaimed to her in a very authentic Sichuan dialect as if she had met an old friend in another country: "Little girl, your name is Xiaoyue, right?" ”

Yu Mingyue was a little dumbfounded, not to mention that this middle-aged woman who was a little fat, but with a strong appearance, dressed like a noblewoman, spoke Cantonese before, how did it become an authentic Sichuan dialect in an instant, the key is that she didn't know this woman at all.

Don't recognize? When she was about to make this conclusion decisively, Yu Mingyue suddenly felt a little uncertain, because she suddenly found that after taking a closer look, she felt that this woman who exclaimed and asked her nickname was indeed a little kind.

And even the one next to her, she seems to have seen it somewhere.

Just when Yu Mingyue was trying to recall these two people, the chubby woman who had been standing next to her with a warm and kind smile, but had never spoken, smiled very politely and nodded at Kong Xiaoyu, who was already questioning, before smiling apologetically at Yu Mingyue with a little Cantonese Mandarin.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, little girl, didn't scare you, did you? We don't have any malicious intentions, we just think you're a little kind-looking, are you called Yu Mingyue? Is Kapok City's right? (To be continued.) )
