According to the address sent by Teng Zhongqian, Tang Xien found Li Hongda's new home in a brand-new community on the outskirts of Luocheng County.

The community seems to have just been completed, the occupancy rate is not high, and many parking spaces on the ground are empty, so Tang Xien parked the car in the closest place to the apartment building.

After getting out of the car, Tang Xien went to open the trunk, found four bags of gift boxes in the space that was almost full, handed them to Teng Zhongqian two bags, carried the two bags himself, and entered the apartment.

A family of three stood on the first floor waiting for the elevator, Li Miaolian looked around, and her gloomy face finally showed a smile.

In fact, she had been on the phone with her parents a few days ago, and she was in a very bad mood at first, but after reconciling with her parents, her mood suddenly became much more relaxed.

But today, starting all the way from City B, Xu is thinking that his beloved brother has suffered from more than 20 years of imprisonment, and his mood is not good again. And at this time, seeing my brother's house bought in such a brand-new and high-end community, I feel a little better.

"The environment looks very good," Li Miaolian said with a smile, "Zhong Qian, how much does it cost to be flat here?" ”

"Ten thousand pieces should be wanted."

Li Miaolian turned around and asked her daughter who was standing behind: "En, how much is the house we live in now?" ”

When the hot spring community was first bought, it was more than 100,000 yuan per square meter, and now it is estimated that it is more than that. Tang Xien didn't know whether to say it or not, and secretly glanced at Teng Zhongqian.

Teng Zhongqian also happened to be looking at her, closed his eyes and shook his head, meaning not to let Li Miaolian know.

Who knows, Li Miaolian, who never asked about these questions in the past, is particularly interested today, seeing that the father and daughter are silent, she asks again: "Why don't you two speak?" Is it expensive? ”

Tang Xien pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Li Miaolian went to ask Teng Zhongqian, and said softly: "Zhongqian, ......"

Teng Zhongqian couldn't stand it the most because Li Miaolian was talking to him like this, glanced at Tang Xien embarrassedly, and said: "En'en originally purchased the hot spring community, and it was estimated that one square meter would cost 100,000 yuan. ”

Li Miaolian was taken aback: "It's going to be so expensive? En, how did you have so much money to buy a house in the first place? ”

Although her daughter became a lawyer after graduation and her income was good, because she needed to repay her previous student loan, and Ruan Fusheng asked for 800,000 yuan, together with the cost of two heart surgeries for her, it added up to one million, so Li Miaolian felt that her daughter should have no money a few years ago.

At this time, the elevator came, and a family of three entered the elevator one after the other.

Teng Zhongqian pressed the floor button.

Tang Xien glanced at the changing numbers on the elevator door, and said lightly: "The down payment of more than three million is the money from the sale of the old apartment, and then I took out a loan of more than seven million from the bank." ”

Teng Zhongqian asked, "How many years have you borrowed?" ”

Tang Xien: "Thirty years. ”

Teng Zhongqian: "That monthly payment is not more than 30,000 yuan?" ”

"The house has a mortgage of nearly 40,000 yuan a month, Aunt Wang's salary is more than 20,000 yuan, you guys have a month's food, water and electricity bills, property fees and other miscellaneous expenses of 10,000 yuan, and the salary of BMW car and driver Lao Chen is 15,000, calculate, how much do you have to spend this month?"

Tang Xien glanced back at Li Miaolian: "It adds up to a month's cost of 90,000 yuan." So Mom, you have to take good care of your body, don't faint at every turn, stay in the hospital for a week, and have a set of various examinations, and you can't get out of it without tens of thousands of yuan. Think about me next time you faint, how much do I get paid for a month? ”

Li Miaolian didn't say anything, Teng Zhongqian went to pat her arm: "Okay, En'en, don't say this anymore." ”

It's okay that he didn't speak, but as soon as he said it, Tang Xien's heavy gaze instantly moved from Li Miaolian to him, "And Dad, don't be unable to get along with my husband all day long, he paid the expenses just mentioned, and it was more than one million a year, not counting the gifts and supplements that you usually buy for the two of you!" He has a lot of work pressure, he has to take care of the children when he goes home, and there are elders to take care of in the old house, so you can be considerate and considerate of us young people, we young people are really not easy to ......."

The elevator just stopped at this time, and Teng Zhongqian urged her: "Okay, okay, the elevator has arrived, don't read it." ”

Tang Xien slowly retracted his gaze and walked out of the elevator with flat boots.

Li Miaolian whispered to Teng Zhongqian in the back: "We really have to spend so much money in a month?" ”

Teng Zhongqian sucked his teeth: "Don't worry about this. I'll have a good talk with Eun when I get back. ”

Tang Xien walked ahead, clearly hearing the conversation between his parents, but he didn't bother to count it with them anymore.

The group of three turned a corner and walked to a copper security door with festive Spring Festival couplets. Tang Xien looked up at the house number on it: "It's here." As she spoke, she looked through the carved crack in the hollow of the outer door.

Directly facing the door is the dining room, and white smoke rises from the middle of the round table, which seems to have been painted with hot pot. A plump woman in her thirties walked in and out, placing freshly washed vegetables on a round table.

That person should be the wife Li Hongda found after he was released from prison.

Li Miaolian and Teng Zhongqian also came over.

Tang Xien glanced back at Li Miaolian, saw that her expression was acceptable, and asked, "Then I rang the doorbell?" ”

Li Miaolian nodded.

Don pressed the doorbell.

Soon, a man who looked about the same age as Teng Zhongqian, with a sturdy body and a flat size, came over.

The other party looked cautiously at Tang Xien, who was standing at the forefront, through the carved outer door: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Before Tang Xien could speak, Li Miaolian, who was standing behind, suddenly cried out and shouted "brother" in an ominous voice.

The man turned his face away, and after seeing Li Miaolian standing in the dark clearly, his eyes suddenly turned red, opened the door, and then turned back and shouted inside: "Mom, Dad, the eldest sister is back!" Daughter-in-law, come out! My eldest sister is back! ”

Tang Xien stepped aside and stood beside Teng Zhongqian.

Li Miaolian stood at the door with tears streaming down her face, and didn't step in, just stood like that.

After a while, a woman with honest looks and high cheekbones ran over while undressing her apron, standing beside her husband at a loss, and kept saying "Happy New Year, Happy New Year".

The elderly couple came out of it with their arms in their arms, and when they saw their daughter and family of three who appeared in front of them, they knelt down on the spot with a puff.

Li Miaolian cried and walked a few steps forward, helped her parents, and the three of them hugged their heads and cried.

Tang Xien went to see Teng Zhongqian and found that he also had red eyes, and he was looking at the wall with a biased face at this time.

Li Hongda gave his daughter-in-law a look, and the woman hurriedly walked in front of Tang Xien, the hands that were not delicate stretched out, just wanted to touch her arm, and after seeing the texture of the cashmere coat clearly, the hand retracted again, and said with a red face: "This must be En'en, come in, come in, come in." ”

Tang Xien smiled and shouted, "Auntie, Happy New Year." ”

The woman's face turned even redder and she lowered her head: "Oops, Happy New Year." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of an elevator arriving around the corner, followed by the friction of the elevator door opening, and finally, the sound of a few determined men's leather shoes.

Tang Xien subconsciously turned around.

Two middle-aged men with glasses walked slowly, walked up to Teng Zhongqian, bowed to him in unison, and shouted, "Uncle." ”

The old couple who hugged and cried with Li Miaolian were shocked, trembling and walking over, lifting their bodies that were almost hunched into 90 degrees by farm work, and staring hard at the two men in front of them.
