Slightly slower than Director Tong to receive the red envelope was Master Guo.

Four or five years have passed, and Master Guo has officially retired from Jiangnan United Harvest Airport and has not accepted re-employment.

In the past few days, he left the small town in the south of the Yangtze River and went to Shanghai with his wife to help take care of his grandson.

Master Guo's son, Guo Xiaowei, graduated from a 211 university in Shanghai and has just been working for three years.

The daughter-in-law is Guo Xiaowei's college classmate.

In the years after graduation, the two young people were full of ambition when they first left the university, and they had already been collided by the reality of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The small couple together, with a monthly income of 20,000 yuan, is definitely a wealthy class if it is placed in Ivory Mountain.

In the magic capital, to be honest, the rent plus food and drink alone must be enough, and it is not impossible to occasionally exercise and travel.

But if you want to buy your own nest and raise a child, it will be stretched.

Although it is a poor couple, Xiao Guo and his girlfriend stumbled after all, and finally entered the palace of marriage.

If you can't afford to buy a house, you rent a house first, and if you can't afford to rent a good house, you increase your commute time and rent a small house in the suburbs.

But as Xiao Guo fell to the ground, Xiao Guo had to grit his teeth and rent a 70-square-meter "big" house with at least two rooms, so that his parents could help take care of the baby.

After all, letting a daughter-in-law be a full-time wife is too much of a loss of the family's economic income.

And the cost of inviting a confinement lady is also unbearable.

Guo Xiaowei didn't want to gnaw on the old and felt very embarrassed.

Lao Guo and his wife are very happy, and the old couple has been waiting to hold their grandson for a long time.

Lao Guo walked out of the high-speed rail station with his luggage.

The son's wedding was held in his hometown, and the baby was also born in the maternity hospital in his hometown.

The street view is beautiful, and the cars on the street are magnificent, which feels pretty good.

But let the taxi driver drive to his son's house according to the address, Lao Guo watched the scenery on the street become more and more dilapidated, and the smile on his old face gradually disappeared.

Every time I ask my son how his life is on the phone and if he wants to help, it seems that my son is not telling the truth......

Eventually, the taxi stopped in front of a small building from the 80s.

Guo Xiaowei is waiting downstairs with the baby in his arms.

"Abba, Mom, I'm glad you guys are sorry!"

Xiao Guo handed the baby to his daughter-in-law and stepped forward to help with the luggage, looking embarrassed.

In his opinion, his parents have been fortunate all their lives, and it is really undeserved to make cattle and horses for their children and grandchildren when they are old.

However, Guo's mother didn't have such thoughts at all, and said with a smile: "Xiaowei, what are you polite, how can our Chinese grandmother not help take her grandson!" ”

The family talked and laughed and went upstairs.

Only Lao Guo was thoughtful.

The staircase is narrow and dark.

When I entered the house and turned on the light, although the room was neatly cleaned up and carefully dressed, in general, I could still see the shabby decoration at a glance.

Guo's mother poked Master Guo and whispered: "Old man, what are you doing with a straight face, don't scare my little grandson!" ”

Master Guo suddenly asked: "Xiaowei, why don't you decorate this house, this is a wedding room for marriage, at least buy some furniture?" ”

Xiao Guo scratched his head in embarrassment.

But his daughter-in-law said obediently: "Abba, the new furniture smells strong, it's not good for the baby, and the rented house doesn't need to be too good." ”

"Yes."

Master Guo paced, touched around in the living room, nodded and said, "Formaldehyde should be scattered for the decoration of the new house, at least half a year, in that case......

Master Guo stopped and looked out through the window, "Take advantage of this time to buy the house as soon as possible, and then decorate it, so that when Xiaoting's maternity leave is over, it is better to move to a new house." ”

"Old man, are you in the right hands?"

Guo's mother stabbed her wife's waist hard.

This old man usually looks fine when he plays mahjong?

How did you sneak up on Alzheimer's?

Ouch, I'm so miserable, I'll have to take care of this crazy old man in the future!

Guo's mother is rich in inner drama, and Xiao Guo and his wife are also embarrassed.

Guo Xiaowei shook his head helplessly, and said, "Dad, I'll talk about this later, the house is too expensive now, let's think about it when it is regulated in the future......

"Regulation?"

Master Guo shook his head and said, "The housing prices in Changhu have fallen, but you don't want to come back to live!" I don't think the housing prices in a place like Shanghai can be lowered, buy early and buy late, or hurry up......"

"That'...... Okay, go back and look into it. ”

Guo Xiaowei nodded.

He knew that his father was ready to fund himself.

He also knew that his father had some savings.

After all, he was a college student back then, and he was also an intellectual.

Although he did not mix with the leadership position after work, he also retired as a deputy senior senior engineer, and his retirement salary was also quite a lot.

Scrape together, borrow some money from relatives, and make a down payment should be no problem.

Guo Xiaowei didn't want to gnaw on the old ones, but what his father said also made sense, sooner or later he had to buy it, so it was better to make up his mind as soon as possible.

"The down payment for the old house here is about seven or eight hundred thousand, and Xiaoting and I have saved 80,000 yuan in the past two years, plus what you usually give, there are 1230,000 ......."

"The down payment is about seven or eight hundred thousand, if you can, it's better to pay a little more, now the interest rate is more than 6 points, it's too expensive!"

"Don't worry, your father's salary card is here with me, he hasn't spent a penny over the years, the down payment is no problem, and the loan can be repaid later, is it not very far to go to work in your unit here?"

"There's no way, it's only a little over 30,000 here, and if you lean a little closer to Minhang, the house price will be terrible!"

"And how much time do you spend on the road every day?"

"It's only four hours back and forth, not far away, don't worry!"

……

A few people discussed.

"Ahem!"

Master Guo suddenly coughed twice outside the circle.

"What are you doing, old man? Want to smoke again? I'm telling you, with a baby here, you don't even want to smoke a cigarette! ”

"It's not smoking!"

Master Guo said angrily, "That, I want to ask, Xiaowei, is your unit in Minhang, right, how much is the housing price on the side?" ”

"About 60,000, there are more than good communities, it's outrageous, I can't afford to rent it!"

Guo Xiaowei shook his head and said, "We don't want to think about this kind of place." ”

"Sixty thousand...... One hundred square meters is six million, counting the decoration of six million four hundred and fifty thousand ......"

Master Guo pinched his fingers and nodded.

"Smash!"

"Huh?"

"Actually, there's one thing I've been hiding from you."

"Huh?"

"Actually, our family is very rich, and the reason why I haven't told you all this is mainly to test and hone you...... Congratulations, you've now passed your dad and me test! ”

"Huh?"
