Chapter 973: 235: The ice-clear and jade-smooth skin actually belongs to Ni Yang!_2

Dashuan was 17 this year, Ershuan was 16, Sanshuan was 15, and even the youngest, Xiaoshuang, was now 9, so they could be trusted to look after Little Ni Yun. Zhou Danni felt at ease.

Dashuan patted his chest and said, “Mom, rest assured, I’ll take good care of Yunyun.”

“Go on then.” Zhou Danni wanted to pat Dashuan’s head, but realizing she could no longer reach it, she patted his shoulder instead.

Zhou Danni gave them over thirty yuan, and the kids came back with a load of groceries, even buying a candied hawthorn for Little Ni Yun.

The Zhao Family kids were all exceptionally well-behaved. Although only Little Ni Yun had a candied hawthorn, none of them made a fuss.

After dinner, Ni Cuihua and Zhou Danni chatted idly.

“Danni, have you bought a house in Beijing yet?”

Zhou Danni shook her head, “No. My husband and I are planning to save money to build a house back in our hometown.”

At that time, people didn’t like the idea of buying houses outside their hometowns. They all wanted to make money and then go back to build houses and honor their ancestors!

Ni Cuihua continued, “Yangyang told me that there will be more and more migrant workers coming to Beijing in the future, and the housing prices will get higher and higher. Actually, you could take advantage of the current low prices to buy a few properties. The money you’d spend on building a house in your hometown would be more than enough to buy one in Beijing.”

“Did Yangyang say that?” Zhou Danni asked, “Will there really be more and more people coming to Beijing to work?”

Ni Cuihua nodded, “Yes, Yangyang said that Beijing is a metropolis and its development will only get better. Yangyang himself has bought several properties.” In reality, it was not just several; Ni Yang already owned three courtyard houses and six apartment buildings.

Zhou Danni didn’t trust many people, but she trusted Ni Yang. If it weren’t for Ni Yang’s advice, her family would still be living frugally!

They had already saved up over ten thousand yuan.

Back in the day, they couldn’t even save seventy or eighty yuan in a year!

Nowadays, they were living a life they could hardly have dreamed of before.

So on festive occasions, Zhou Danni always took her family to visit the Ni Family.

They couldn’t be the type to forget favors and betray kindness.

Zhou Danni nodded, “Alright, when my husband comes back, I’ll discuss this matter with him.”

Ni Cuihua continued, “Yangyang also said that it’s best to buy housing in the city center, and if money is tight, it’s also good to buy near a subway station.”

The Beijing subway was planned in 1953, construction began in 1965, and the first routes were completed in 1969. Operations started in 1971.

On April 23, 1973, the Beijing subway Line 1 was extended to Apple Garden Station.

On September 15, 1981, the first phase of the Beijing subway was officially accepted, with operational lines running from Apple Garden Station to Beijing Station.

Zhou Danni nodded, “OK, I’ve got it.”

That evening when her husband came home, Zhou Danni relayed Ni Cuihua’s words.

Her husband took a drag of his cigarette, “So we’re not going back to our hometown to build a house?”

“No, we’re not,” Zhou Danni replied. “I’ve already asked Daya. She said that if we buy a house now, we can register our household here. We’ll move our household registration here, and from then on, this will be our home.”

Finishing her thought, Zhou Danni continued, “It might be a risky move, but I think the child Yangyang has foresight. Listening to her won’t lead us astray. Besides, my brother-in-law also said it’s a feasible plan, and he’s a university professor!”

Her husband nodded, “Alright, I trust you. Shall we go look at houses tomorrow morning?”

“Mm.”

The next morning, the couple went house hunting with their four children.

Since they had four children, they needed a large place, and Zhou Danni found a five-bedroom, two-living room house appealing. One of the living rooms could be turned into a bedroom to serve as a guest room.

A five-bedroom, two-living room house, with a total of two hundred square meters, was a bare-shell property, costing thirty-five thousand yuan.

The couple made a down payment of fifteen thousand yuan and had twenty thousand yuan left in mortgage.

Her husband, now a street vendor, was able to earn over two hundred yuan a day, so the twenty thousand yuan mortgage wasn’t a problem for them.

After purchasing the house, the couple finally felt a sense of belonging in Beijing.

From then on, they would be people of Beijing!

Today the weather was nice, and Ni Yang took seven or eight boxes of his skin care gift sets and visited Demingxuan.

Seeing Ni Yang arrive, Du Jiaojiao couldn’t contain her excitement, “You’re finally here, gorgeous! Li Yao and I have been waiting for you for days!”

Nearly a month had passed, and Du Jiaojiao’s skin had become much better, tender and glowing with a healthy rosy hue.
