Chapter Twenty-Five: A Penny Stumps a Hero

The man took Xia Bihan to a pantry upstairs, saying that it was a pantry, but it was more like a small study with a very warm decoration.

The room is not big, but a large bookshelf is made on one wall, on which rows of books are displayed, and on top of the cabinet are a row of flower pots, with spider plants in the middle, and a piece of green hanging down decorates the bookshelf as if it were placed on the tree-lined path.

There is a round table in the room, on which is also placed a vase with white lilies. The body of the vase is almost entirely made of butterflies, blue and white, just right. If you look closely, the whole room is furnished with care and taste, and you can feel a calm, gentle, and warm comfort as soon as you enter.

The man gave Xia Bihan a cup of tea: "I'm really sorry, I didn't ask Ella what kind of person she bought the store, I thought it should be a man, but I didn't expect it to be such a young lady." Ella went to buy food for Yoyo and came back in a moment. ”

"You're talking about Ella, which girl is looking at the store?"

"Well, yes, she's a student at a nearby university that my wife hired. I've been working here since more than two years ago, and I've been doing well. Oh that's one of the reasons why I insisted on talking to the buyers, I hope the next store will hire Ella, she's only a junior now, she has more than a year to graduate, she's not in a good family, and my wife reminded me to help her before she left. ”

Xia Bihan looked at the man in front of her, she didn't know what it was like, she thought that he was saying that he hadn't brought much of this child, and that his wife must have been very uncomfortable when he left to confess. She could even see in his eyes a flash of sadness, worry, and longing.

"These can all be talked about....." Xia Bihan wanted to say something, but she felt that the child in her arms didn't seem to be right, and it took a long time to feel that the child was already lying on her shoulder, with his hands around her neck, and fell asleep. Saliva flowed out and flowed to Xia Bihan's shoulders, but it wasn't summer, and the clothes weren't so thin, so I didn't feel anything.

The man couldn't help but laugh and watched the child sleeping on Xia Bihan's body, and said to Xia Bihan helplessly: "I'm sorry for the trouble, this child hasn't slept well since his mother wasn't around, and he always cries and wakes up to find his mother after a short sleep." ”

"Isn't there anyone to help you with the kids?"

"No, my wife originally opened her own bookstore and still had time to take her, and my mother was very busy with work and didn't have much time to take it. Ella helped me take it for a while, but it was not good and always troubled people. I've been arguing with her lately, and I can't explain that her mother is gone, so I had to coax her to say that as long as she is obedient, her mother will come back. ”

Xia Bihan smiled and gently patted the child who was sleeping unsteadily with her hand: "You can coax it for a while, but it will definitely be useless after a long time." ”

The child moved uneasily for a while, Xia Bihan patted her hand, and the child fell asleep quietly.

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have just dragged you and wouldn't let go."

"How old is this kid?"

"Three years old. It's very noisy. ”

The two of them chatted about each other until Ella came back.

Shen Lin and Xia Bihan officially negotiated the contract, and Ella carefully took the child in Xia Bihan's arms away and put it in another bedroom to continue sleeping.

Xia Bihan felt that this Ella seemed to cherish and love this little bun very much, as if she was caring for her own child.

Shen Lin has two requirements for Xia Bihan to buy a house and open a store, one is that he can't do inappropriate business, such as noisy food stall-like catering, or what kind of hotel or something is not allowed. The house has been carefully decorated in every location by Shen Lin's wife, and he hopes that the next buyer will not spoil the meaningful decorations, preferably without altering them.

Second, keep Ella as a waitress. Third, allow yourself to come back and see the place once in a while.

Xia Bihan likes the decoration here very much, she is a very quiet woman, she will not like the luxurious decoration, but there will inevitably be places that are not satisfied, so she proposed to renovate the place. It's not impossible to leave Ella, this kid will actually be Xia Bihan's junior sister in the same school, and he is also a management major. Xia Bihan agreed to keep her, but the salary would not be paid as before, because Xia Bihan did not dare to hire others so far, and if this was the seller's request, she could only try her best to meet it.

Xia Bihan was curious why Shen Lin wanted to sell the things he wanted to keep as a souvenir, and he had to make a request.

Shen Lin smiled, good things naturally have to be inherited, he doesn't want his wife's hard work to be wasted, he wants to find a suitable successor for her, and continue to carry forward what his wife likes, and then he seems to see what his wife likes to do in the continuation. The things that the wife likes have always existed, and they have always been used by people and brought good feelings to people.

When Shen Lin heard that Xia Bihan wanted to open a coffee shop, he was even more sure that he was lucky to find a suitable buyer this time. Although there are so many talks, none of them are suitable.

Xia Bihan said to Shen Lin that he wanted to open a coffee shop called "Phalaenopsis", he likes to make coffee, and he thinks that he can cook it, and the decoration style of this bookstore is exactly what he wants, especially those who do not have an identical vase, almost every one of them has a butterfly pattern in it, and Shen Lin's wife has a soft spot for butterflies like her.

Shen Lin said that his wife's favorite animal is butterflies, and if Xia Bihan had known her earlier, they would definitely become friends and good girlfriends, and the butterflies in these vases were all painted by his wife.

As soon as Shen Lin said this, Xia Bihan remembered her best friend Xia Xiaoxue, who had forgotten for a while, and smiled helplessly, I am afraid that this person will be pervasive for a while and will always disturb his life.

I also think that Shen Lin's wife is really talented, and she is actually a painter....

After Xia Bihan and Shen Lin talked about all the details, they finally talked about the most important issue, buying such an upstairs and downstairs duplex building, there are not millions of can't go down, Xia Bihan Even if she takes out a loan, the down payment may not be enough, not to mention that she doesn't even have a mortgage to repay the loan.

Shen Lin rarely found a satisfied buyer, hesitated for a long time, and then said to Xia Bihan that if she could really meet her requirements and really open a coffee shop that could be read, he was willing to sign a contract with Xia Bihan, and Xia Bihan would pay in installments and pay off within a few years.

Xia Bihan was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she felt that the man in front of her or his wife who loved her miserably, even if she had left, could not weaken the slightest position in his heart.

Xia Bihan's impression of this man is getting better and better, this world is full of materialism, and there are fewer and fewer people who can really bury a feeling in their hearts and never give up.

It was much smoother for the two to reach a contract, and the contract was signed directly, and Xia Bihan was ready to go back to raise money.

Although Shen Lin promised Xia Bihan that he could pay in installments, the down payment still required one million, and Xia Bihan didn't have much money in his hand.

The sum of all the money is not more than three or four hundred thousand, and if you get it together, you still need too much.

But Xia Bihan felt at this time that she didn't have any friends, and she didn't know where to borrow money. Xia Bihan hesitantly hung up the phone to Xia's mother and asked if she could lend herself some money. Mother Xia didn't ask anything, only said that she had 200,000 yuan, and she would bring it to her first.

Xia's mother has only saved so much money in her life, and a large part of it is the money that Xia Bihan gave her in the years she worked.

Xia Bihan's nose was sour, and she felt that she was very useless, such a big person, she still had to worry about her mother, and even her mother's coffin had to be taken out to do business for her, she really felt that she was not filial.

But Xia Bihan wants to do something of her own too much, if this opportunity is missed, I'm afraid she won't have the courage to cheer herself up again. After all, she was hurt not a little bit.

Xia Bihan sat on the sofa in her small home, and once considered whether to sell this small house.

After buying the house over there, there is also a small bedroom, and you can actually move there.

But she hesitated for a long time, looking at the things she had purchased in this little nest for a year, and she was a little reluctant.

Over the years, this small house has brought me the feeling of home, and this place is my real home. She didn't want to be left without a home of her own.

She thought about it and thought that it was most appropriate to take a mortgage on this house. But she is not too embarrassed to delay time, the time for applying for a loan will definitely not be too short, and Shen Lin has already given in to himself to pay in installments for a few years, if he can't even guarantee that the down payment will be in place on time, then what kind of business is there to talk about!

Alas, what a penny is hard to beat a hero! It seems that after being with Bai Yueming, he basically didn't worry about money, one was that he could make money, and Bai Yueming had never treated her badly......
