Chapter 774, Xu Haiyuan is going to see the house
Xu Shiyan wanted to invite Jin Liu to dinner, but Jin Liu felt that he hadn't done anything for others, so he was embarrassed to eat this meal.
So he took Xu Shiyan and the three of them, from east to west, and looked at several houses.
There is a small courtyard with two entrances here, which is similar to the current one of the Xu family.
There is also a three-entry house, which is quite similar to the Guan family.
There is also a courtyard with four entrances, and the main house has five rooms with ear rooms, covering a large and spacious area.
However, these houses also have their own shortcomings, some are in a mediocre location, and some are slightly old.
Especially the courtyard with four entrances, it is a little dilapidated, and if you get it, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to renovate.
Of course, this house is old, and the price is low, and the price of the landlord is only 100,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than the house of the Guan family.
Xu Shiyan and his wife have seen so much, they are really a little dazzled, and they don't know which one to choose.
The main reason is that Xu Shiyan has scruples in his heart, so he is worried that he will have to dismantle it every two years after he buys it.
The earlier the demolition, the less cost-effective it is, in the early days, it was calculated according to the population, and even according to the household registration.
None of them have a capital hukou, and if they are really demolished in a few years, it will definitely not be cost-effective.
Besides, they didn't rush to dismantle it when they bought it, so it was better to keep it.
"Mr. Jin, in this way, let's see this here today, it's not too early, let's find a place to eat first."
Let's go back and discuss it as a family, tomorrow afternoon, let's go to the house again to discuss the price, what do you think? ”
After such a delay, it was six o'clock.
Xu Shiyan, can you still let the family continue to lead them everywhere to look at the house? Let's find a place to eat.
Jin Liuyi saw that Xu Shiyan was sincerely going to invite him to dinner, so it was not good to refuse.
Xu Shiyan didn't know where it was better to eat in the capital, so he remembered the more famous places in later generations.
It is estimated that at this time, it will not become a place of bluffing like later generations.
took the opportunity to take my family and go over for a meal, and it was not in vain to come to the capital.
Jin Liu listened to Xu Shiyan's words, but laughed.
"No, no, Mr. Xu doesn't have to be too troublesome, let's just find a restaurant nearby."
As he spoke, he pointed forward casually, "There is a restaurant not far ahead, and the food of that house is quite authentic." ”
When Jin Liu said this, Xu Shiyan couldn't insist anymore, so everyone went to the place that Jin Liu pointed out earlier.
This restaurant is not big or small, the inside is very clean, it is the restaurant, and there are many customers in the store.
Jin Liu should be quite familiar with the shopkeeper, and when he entered the door and greeted him, he arranged a good position for them to sit down.
"Brother-in-law, this is not far from our house.
It's all this time, you can see whether to pick up the children, or order food to send them back.
An Zhen didn't get off work until after eight o'clock in the evening, and no one went back to cook for the children. ”
As soon as he sat down, before he could order food, Nan Zhendong asked.
"Then take it, talk to the shopkeeper for a while, and then leave a table for us, and let the children eat at a separate table when the time comes."
Xu Shiyan looked at it, this is a little bit, and it is true, I don't know what those children are doing at home.
If this is at home, the two daughters should cook.
Now in other places, the children don't even know where the vegetable market is, and it is difficult to arrange dinner.
I just took it over and ate some together.
"Okay, then I'll go back and pick up the kids."
Nan Zhendong nodded towards Jin Liu, "Old Jin, that, I'll go back to pick up the child first, and let's have a few drinks later." ”
After saying that, Nan Zhendong hurriedly went out and drove home to pick up the children.
He doesn't drive a car, it's the kind of van, which is usually convenient for pulling goods.
It just so happens that there are seven children in the family, and they can sit open.
This side belongs to Xicheng, which is quite close to the Xu family's small courtyard, and Nan Zhendong drove back and forth for less than half an hour and picked up all seven children.
When the children arrived, it was time to start serving the food one after another.
As soon as Su Anying saw the children coming, she moved to the children's table.
She doesn't drink, so it's more convenient to let Xu Shiyan, Nan Zhendong, and Jin Liuren have a table.
When the meal was ready, Xu Shiyan poured wine for Jin Liu, and the three people over there pushed the cup and changed the glass, chatting while drinking, and most of what they said was about the house.
Jin Liu helped analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the houses he looked at today.
"Mom, you and my dad still want to buy a house in the capital?"
Xu Haiyuan listened to it twice, and probably understood, and his parents were planning to buy a few more houses.
"Well, your father said, after all, this is the capital, a big city, and the house will definitely be worth a lot in the future.
What he meant was to buy a few more sets and leave one set for each of you.
In the future, if you can be admitted to a university in the capital, come to study and work, we can have a house of our own, and it will be more convenient. ”
Su Anying nodded and told her husband's rhetoric to her children.
"Oh, that's fine."
Xu Haiyuan nodded, and said in his heart that his father was quite reliable, a little discerning, and knew how to buy a house in the capital.
"Mom, where have you all looked? Tell me about it? Xu Haiyuan asked tentatively.
There is nothing to hide, Su Anying told her son the details of the few houses they looked at this afternoon.
Xu Haiyuan is fourteen years old this year, anyway, Xu Shiyan and his wife have never treated him as a child.
He never avoided major family affairs, and sometimes even asked for the opinion of the eldest child.
Xu Haiyuan patiently listened to his mother's narration, pondered for a moment, and then said.
"Mom, the house was bought for the four of us, right? Can I choose? ”
Su Anying was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Are you interested in buying a house again?
Okay, then when we go to see the house tomorrow, you will follow? ”
Xu Haiyuan is the son of the Xu family, and Xu Shiyan and his wife also have high hopes for their eldest son.
Judging from the current situation, everything in the Xu family in the future is estimated to have to be handed over to the eldest son, and the other three seem to be enough.
Since you have to shift in the morning and evening, it's better to exercise early.
As soon as Xu Haiyuan graduated from university, the two of them could spread their hands and enjoy the blessings.
"Well, okay, then I'll go with you tomorrow." Xu Haiyuan nodded quite solemnly.
Buying a house in the capital is a big deal, and the knowledge here is bigger, so it's better to look at it in person.
Here, the mother and son were talking about buying a house while eating, and Xu Haiqing on the other side didn't seem to hear it, they should eat and drink, and they didn't care at all.
Su Anying They don't drink, and they have a lot of children, so of course they eat quickly.
Half an hour later, the children were full of food and drink, and they all sat lazily in their chairs.
As soon as Su Anying saw this, she went to talk to Xu Shiyan, and she took the children home first.
"Do you know how to go back? Don't go any way. Xu Shiyan asked uncomfortably.
"I know, Xiaoming and Xiaoliang know the way.
Besides, there's a mouth under the nose, I really can't find it, can't I ask someone?
I still remember where my home was. ”
Su Anying smiled, just led the children out of the restaurant, and walked all the way back.
On the way, the children looked around and saw everything strangely.
Thanks to Xu Haiyuan's control, Xu Haiqing's person came crazy and didn't run around.
With Nan Xiaoming and Nan Xiaoliang leading the way, the group finally returned to the Xu family's courtyard smoothly.
Nan Zhendong's house is not too far from the Xu family's courtyard.
But Nan Xiaoming and Nan Xiaoliang refused to go back to their homes to sleep, so they had to stay here and live with Xu Haiqing and them.
Fortunately, after Su Anying came over, she went to buy a lot of bedding, luggage and other things, which was enough.
So, Nan Xiaoming and Nan Xiaoliang followed Xu Haiqing to live in the south house of the East Wing, and Xu Haiyuan and Yang Haoyu lived in the north house of the East Wing.
As for Xu Jinping and Xu Jinhui's sisters, they live in the main house with their parents.
Girls and children, timid, parents are not at ease, they must live in front of them to take care of them.
Because he made an appointment to go to the square to watch the national flag raising the next day, Xu Shiyan didn't come back too late.
Early in the morning of the 15th, it was still dark outside, and the children were dug out of the bed by Su Anying.
After a little freshening up, the family rushed to Tiananmen Square.
Thanks to the small courtyard of the Xu family, the location is good, not too far away.
The children didn't walk in a daze at all, they trotted all the way to the place, and they didn't feel anything, and they arrived at the place.
In the morning, there were many people who came to see the flag-raising, and Xu Shiyan's family followed the footsteps of everyone and came to the square, found a suitable position, and waited for the flag-raising.
"Wow, it's so big, so many people."
Xu Haiqing felt that his eyes were not enough, and he felt so novel when he looked at everything around him.
"Big brother, second sister, is that Tiananmen Square in the east? Wow, I saw Tiananmen Square. ”
Xu Jinhui looked at the building in the distance, and her face was also full of excitement.
However, this little girl's sense of direction is not very good, and she is a little turned at this time, and she doesn't know where Tiananmen Square is.
Xu Haiqing covered his face helplessly, "Fourth sister, that's the north."
Even if I have never been to the capital, I know that Tiananmen Square is sitting in the north and facing south, and this is the first time you have come to a big city, right? ”
Probably innate, in general, girls don't have as much sense of direction as boys.
Don't look at Xu Haiqing, he doesn't have a positive shape for a day, but he has an excellent sense of direction, and he can tell the direction when he comes to an unfamiliar place, and he can remember the road he has walked through.
Xu Jinhui couldn't do it, when she walked back last night, she was a little confused, and she didn't know where to go.
"Oh, yes, how did I forget. I looked over there like the east. ”
Xu Jinhui smiled embarrassedly, and her intuition told her that it was east over there, who knew it was wrong.
While the children were talking, the flag-raiser had already walked over with a bright five-star red flag, and the scene was silent for an instant.
Facing the rising sun, accompanied by the solemn and majestic national anthem, the five-star red flag rose under the attention of everyone.
Everyone looked up at the red flag, their eyes rose with the red flag, and they unconsciously sang the national anthem loudly.
The children all looked solemn and serious, and their eyes were determined.
Even Xu Haiqing, who is not serious on weekdays, seems to have been reborn at this moment, and the whole person is different.
Watching the national flag being raised in Tiananmen Square and the children raising the national flag at school are definitely two different experiences.
The spiritual shock is more direct and the feeling is deeper.
Therefore, when the flag-raising ceremony was over, Xu Shiyan felt as if the children's eyes had a different feeling.
After watching the flag-raising, then lead the children to find a place to have breakfast nearby.
After breakfast, Xu Shiyan took the children to walk around here and take a few more photos.
When the Forbidden City starts selling tickets, it's time to buy tickets to go in and visit.
Despite the fact that it is only the early 90s, tourism may not have risen in other places, but there are a lot of tourists in the capital.
Xu Shiyan and Su Anying took seven children and followed the crowd inside, and always told the children not to run around, but to follow the adults.
The majestic halls in front of them are solemn and solemn, and the children have seen this kind of building for the first time, and they seem to be a little restrained in addition to novelty.
"Second sister, is this where the emperor lived in the past?"
Yang Haoyu followed closely by Xu Jinping's side, dragging Xu Jinping, for fear that his second sister would be lost.
When she arrived at the Forbidden City, Xu Jinping came to the skill and began to talk to her younger brothers and sisters about the three major halls of the Forbidden City, the six palaces of the East and the West, and some stories of the Ming and Qing emperors.
At the beginning, the family was allowed to listen.
In the back, it may be that the tourists who came in together, listened to the little girl's story, and they all followed, listening as they went.
Many people around listened to Xu Jinping's explanation, but Xu Jinping was not stage frightened, and she talked wherever she went.
Xu Shiyan followed behind, shaking his head as he walked.
Some people may have such a gift.
In her previous life, the eldest daughter went to take the tour guide certificate to be a tour guide in order to live, leading a group all day long, and talking about it wherever she went.
I didn't expect that I was only a teenager in this life, and I had the potential in this area.
I have to say that the two eldest ones in the family have a really wide range of knowledge.
What the eldest daughter said, to be honest, Xu Shiyan didn't understand most of them, and he didn't know where he saw this child.
People can not only remember it, but also tell it, which is quite convincing.
Xu Jinping talked as she walked, and Xu Shiyan took a camera and took pictures of her daughter-in-law and children.
As soon as he took a few photos, Xu Haiyuan took the camera.
"Dad, you stand with my mother, come, I'll take a picture of you both."
My son is kind enough to take pictures of his parents, but Xu Shiyan is not in a hurry?
So he handed the camera to his son, and the couple found a favorite scenery, or Xu Shiyan put his arm around Su Anying's shoulder, or Su Anying held Xu Shiyan's arm, and the two took several photos together.
After that, Xu Shiyan never touched the camera again, and Xu Haiyuan was taking pictures of everyone throughout the whole process.
The Forbidden City is too big, even if it is only partially open now, Xu Shiyan and the others can't visit much in the morning, but they just look at some of the main palaces.
Even so, by noon, the big guys were tired.
Coming out of the Forbidden City, the big guys were tired and hungry.
At this time, don't think about going home to cook and eat, just find a place to eat and fill your stomach quickly.
Originally, Xu Shiyan wanted to lead the children to eat roast duck, but at this time, everyone was so hungry that their eyes were green.
If you still have to wait for a seat or something, where can the children stand it?
Anyway, they have to stay in the capital for a few days, and they can eat whenever they want.
In this way, the group casually inquired about a nearby place to eat and went straight over.
I finally found a restaurant with few people, so I quickly ordered food to eat.
After lunch, the two sent the children back to the courtyard to rest, and then they planned to go to Jin Liu again and continue to look at the house.
"Dad, I'll go with you, I told my mom last night." Xu Haiyuan hurriedly said.
Xu Shiyan slept when he came back last night, and Su Anying didn't have time to mention it to him.
I got up early this morning, watched the flag-raising, and visited the Forbidden City, and Su Anying forgot about this stubble.
At this time, as soon as Xu Haiyuan mentioned it, Su Anying suddenly remembered. Yes, I promised my son last night.
"Yes, yes, my son told me yesterday that he was going to accompany us to see the house."
Xu Shiyan glanced at Da'er, "Okay, if you're not tired, then let's come together." ”
