Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations.
In the high-end villa area of "Shengshi Home" in Pudong District, there are exquisite villas with Tang Dynasty style, scattered under the shade of verdant trees, and they are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
This high-end villa with a construction area of 500 square meters is Rongyi's real estate, in order to make grandpa and parents live more spacious.
He specially bought a specially built villa in the real estate of his big brother Xiang Jinming and suitable for three generations of the old, middle and young people to live in the same room.
Rong Yi is low-key and humble, and the old people in the family are also more diligent and thrifty, in order not to provoke his father Rong Fan, who has always ignored him, is angry, and when he renovated the villa last year, he specially decorated it according to the taste of his parents.
The entire villa is elegantly decorated and comfortable, with a porch foyer that stretches to the north, and a four-story living room and bedroom with large floor-to-ceiling windows to flood the landscape.
Each floor is appropriately divided into different locations, with greenery or blooming flowers everywhere, but not cluttered and just right.
The first floor is a large living room, dining room, bathroom, small guest room and storage room, grandpa and mom and dad live in two large bedrooms on the second floor, two rooms on the shade side, one is a large guest room, and the other is a reception room.
Rong Yi lives on the third floor, the entire third floor is Rong Yi's territory, the fourth floor is a gym, study, etc., and the fifth floor is a large terrace.
The green plants planted on it were designed and created by Rong Yi, who has been engaged in landscape planting for many years, which is very ingenious, like a green world.
The basement is half a storage room and half a garage, a large garage large enough to park four cars, a garage with a car wash and other functions.
In the living room on the first floor, Rong Yi's grandfather Rong Mao was pacing back and forth in the room with a cane, and the old man's face was obviously displeased.
Rong Mao is seven or eight meters tall, with a thin body, a rickety back but strong spirits, and a lot of elderly classes on his shriveled face.
The eldest son Rong Fan, that is, Rong Yi's father, was sitting on the sofa at the moment, his eyes were nervously following his father as he moved, he was afraid that the old man would be angry.
Rong Yi's mother, Gu Yu, is a graceful middle-aged woman, slightly chubby, and kind eyes.
She held a cup of tea, carefully placed it on the coffee table, and persuaded her husband who was still angry: "Dad, don't be angry, didn't Rong Yi call just now, and he will bear all the money for Lulu to buy a house in Beijing." ”
"Is this something that should be paid for by Rong Yi? It stands to reason that this time to buy a house for Lulu in Beijing, the second Rong Cong and Wang Han should make a big head. Rong Mao angrily smashed the floor tiles with his cane to vent his inner anger.
However, hearing the name of the eldest grandson Rong Yi, the anger in the old man's heart suddenly disappeared half, and he sat back on the sofa with no anger, leaned his cane on the edge of the sofa, and sighed for a long time.
Gu Yu saw that her father-in-law's face was much softer, and she respectfully took the tea and handed it to Rong Mao.
may have said a lot, and his mouth was a little thirsty, Rong Mao took the warm and suitable tea brought by his eldest daughter-in-law, and drank it with a bang.
Rong Mao took the napkin handed to him from his son Rong Fan, wiped his mouth, and the shriveled mouth began to count again.
"Rong Fan, tell me, when you came back to Shanghai, in order to help your four brothers and sisters, I sold the old mansion in the northwest, took out the savings with your mother for many years, and divided five shares for your five brothers and sisters.
"Rong Fan, for your little brother, I feel guilty as a father, when we slapped our butts and left, the Great Northwest left him alone. The night before yesterday, I had a party with those old friends, if it weren't for Rongchang still staying in Ningxi City to stick to the border pass, my old face would be really embarrassed to participate. ”
Before his retirement, Rong Mao was the president of a university in the northwest, raising five children, four of whom returned to their homeland in the 90s of the last century, leaving only his most distressed and most indebted youngest son Rong Chang in Ningxi City, Northwest China.
"Those old friends proudly said that our generation in the Great Northwest is dedicated to youth and life, and life to children and grandchildren. But Nong saw that all four of Ala's children had returned to Shanghai, leaving one son in the Great Northwest. ”
"Allah knows, although Rongchang doesn't have to say anything, he still has a grudge against me, he got married, Alamo's money was given to him, and the salary was all to help the four of you, my little granddaughter Lu Lu was born, Allah still didn't have any money, help your little sister Rongyu do business."
"Oh, now that Lulu is in college in Beijing, shouldn't we help your little brother? Tell me, Rong Cong and Wang Han, the two little red guys, are making their abacus crackle, saying that the 20,000 yuan that Rongchang borrowed at the beginning, and now the interest on Lulu's house is only 30,000 yuan, is there anyone who reckons accounts like this? ! 20,000 yuan has been in their hands for 30 years, how many 20,000 yuan have been earned back by them?! ”
Seeing that the old man was so angry that he coughed, Rong Fan stretched out his hand and patted the old man's back and comforted: "Old man, don't worry about it, I'll deal with this matter." ”
Rong Mao's youngest son still sticks to Rongchang on the frontier, and his daughter Rong Lulu was admitted to a medical school in Beijing this year with the top score in science in the northwest.
In order to help his sons, the old man sold the house in the northwest, and the old couple were retired cadres with high salaries, and all the savings for many years were given to the children above to help solve their urgent needs.
For his youngest son Rongchang, who is far away in the northwest, he didn't help with a penny, and he relied on himself to work hard outside.
Over the years, the old man Rong Mao felt guilty about his youngest son, and had been thinking about making up for his younger son, taking the opportunity of his granddaughter Rong Lulu to be admitted to college this year, and planned to fund his own funds, and the above children advanced money to Rong Lulu to buy a small apartment near the medical school.
Rong Mao had already inquired about it, and it would cost more than 2 million yuan to buy a 50-square-meter apartment near Lulu near the medical school, and about 2.5 million yuan to decorate the home and house supplies, which was a lot of money.
Rong Fan obeyed the arrangement of the old man Rong Mao, and promised Rong Mao that when Rong Lulu was a freshman, he would definitely hand over the key to the apartment to her, and according to the time when the college freshmen started, there was still a deadline of more than a month, and it seemed that he had to hurry up.
The next day, Rong Fan summoned his younger brother Rong Cong, eldest sister Rong Yin, and younger sister Rong Yu to his house for a family meeting.
The theme of the meeting is, of course, to buy a small apartment for her youngest niece Rong Lulu in Beijing, so that the little girl can live in medical school for five years.
The eldest sister, Rong Yin, who works as an accountant in the Pudong District Government Office and is about to retire, came to Rong Yi's villa early and stood in front of a pot of blooming green diamonds admiring the inky black leaves.
whispered to Rong Fan, who was standing beside her: "Big brother, I support the old man's approach, you say, we have five brothers and sisters, who is the hardest?" Isn't it the little brother Rongchang? When we left Ningxi City and returned to Shanghai, we had a good time, hey, I can't think back now, if the old man hadn't sold the house to help us, would we be able to live this good life now? I'll pay 200,000 this time, I mean, the old man won't pay. ”
Rong Fan looked at the tolerant and considerate eldest sister beside him, this eldest sister who was 3 years younger than him, and he was still very moved in his heart.
Rong Fan took the watering can to spray and a pot of Junzi Orchid leaves, "I think the same, Rong Yi has already told the old man that he will bear Lulu's house payment alone, but the old man is more energetic, Rong Yi said, you symbolize that you will pay some money, and he will bear the rest alone." ”
Rong Yu watched his brother mention Rong Yi, the pride on his face was overflowing, and he teased: "What, now you know that Rong Yi is a good boy?" It's not that I count you down, you are sometimes not as enlightened as our old man? Rong Yi was negligent and hurt people at the beginning, it wasn't his intention, this kid is good in nature, look at you, I can listen to the old man's nagging, and you still ignore him. ”
The corners of Rong Fan's mouth grinned, and he said embarrassedly: "I don't care about him, it's not that I forced him to start a family quickly, he is 32 years old, and he is still not in shape." ”
While the brother and sister were talking, they heard a crisp voice coming from the entrance of the villa: "Old man, I'm here." ”
At the entrance to the villa, there stood a woman about thirty-eight or nineteen years old, with a pointed face and beautiful eyebrows, looking a little tired.
But her eyes are very bright, and the furrows carved on her face by the wind and frost of the years can't hide her former beauty.
