Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Moving to a new house

Song Yanxi's nine-grid post had just gone up.

Her friends, who loved sharing pictures of delicious food and travel on social media, immediately blew up.

Du Juan: "Oh my God, is this the new house your family bought?"

Yang Dan: "…You bought a villa?"

An'an's classmate's mother: "This house is so beautiful, is it in Capital City? How much did it cost?"

It wasn't just these friends; even Song Wu, who was far away at a reunion at the 3rd Ring Road KTV, was like a hedgehog with its quills up.

"Sis, you bought a house, how much was the down payment, how big is it, and why does this house look so much like a villa?"

And not to mention her, even Liu Fen, who was manually shuffling tiles at a mahjong parlor, had now tossed aside her self-drawn straight flush.

Mostly because she had gotten quite a few calls, from Song Huamin and from her youngest daughter as well.

Something big must have happened at home, and she needed to rush back immediately to take charge.

By the time she got home, both Song Huamin and Song Wu had returned, and both wanted to rush to Beixin'an as soon as possible.

If they didn't know that Song Yanxi was not the type to show off, they would have thought it was a joke.

They knew her family was planning to buy a house, and they also knew her family could afford it.

But they had no idea her family could afford such a big villa.

This was in Capital City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

"Mom, that house of sis', it's got to be at least 300 square meters, right?"

"Definitely more, just the layout of the first floor is at least 200 square meters, and it has a second floor as well as a loft on the top. I think it's got to be over 500 square meters."

"500 square meters, oh my, wouldn't that be at least ten million at the base price?"

Song Wu was astonished, "How much of a down payment do you think sis made? The mortgage for the house might also be over ten million, right?"

"Probably two or three tenths."

Liu Fen could hardly contain her excitement, wishing she were driving not a small Volkswagen but a private jet.

It would be great to just fly over in a snap.

The handover of the house was not that complicated, mainly because the real estate sales company Zhang Yan worked for was very formal.

Specializing in the sale of second-hand luxury houses in Capital City.

If it's a full payment, there's no need to go through bank loans, mainly just handling the transfer procedures.

Chen Pingsheng could go with them to take care of it, leaving Song Yanxi behind to sort things out.

Newly purchased houses definitely need their locks changed, and there's no need to alter the interior design.

The previous owner of this villa was also someone very particular, and all the decoration was contracted to a design company.

By the time Liu Fen and the others arrived, they were almost blinded by the splendor.

These rows and rows of detached villas, along with the pleasant greenery, if she could live inside this place,

she would truly consider her life well-lived.

"My dear, is this really the house your family bought?"

The house was so big you could run a marathon in it, of course, that's just limited to an elderly athlete like her.

Liu Fen had taken a tour as soon as she came in, and it was just too beautiful.

Two rooms for the elderly on the first floor.

On the second floor, one children's room and one super master bedroom with a terrace.

Sitting there enjoying an afternoon tea without a care in the world, that 'Small Day' really couldn't get more comfortable.

There's also a separate study, walk-in wardrobe, and an especially cozy second bedroom.

Then moving up to the attic.

The whole house was very modern in design, with a total of seven rooms.

"Look at this big kitchen, cooking here is simply a pleasure."

Liu Fen went in and touched the exquisite marble countertop, able to enjoy the view outside through the side window while cooking.

Feeling great.

"My dear, how much of a down payment did you make?"

She was so mesmerized by the house that she almost forgot to ask the most important question.

"No down payment, Pingsheng paid in full."

"Full payment?"

The family of three was collectively petrified, with Song Huamin, the most level-headed, breaking the silence first.

"One shouldn't joke about this, your house must be over 500 square meters, looking at the decor and location, you couldn't have gotten such a nice house for less than ten million."

"About that, it was exactly fifteen million."

Song Yanxi was still checking around the house for cleanliness, and any items that needed to be changed had to be done as soon as possible,

like bedsheets, teacups, etc.

"Pingsheng has already completed the household registration procedures. From now on, he has truly settled down in Capital City. Mom, does that finally put your mind at ease?"

At ease, a thousand times at ease.

Now that they've moved into the little villa, what else is there to worry about?

Liu Fen immediately joined in and busied herself. At four in the afternoon, she also had to pick up Little An'an from school.

After buying all the necessary items, they could have a big dinner at home tomorrow night.

First, to celebrate their new house purchase, and second, because it was Song Yanxi's birthday.

This definitely called for a big celebration.

In addition to inviting local friends and relatives, Song Yanxi also called Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, who were far away in Southern Province.

Their son buying a villa in Capital City, now that was truly a great joy.

They didn't make a big show of it for all to know.

The elderly couple was certainly going to come over and have a look.

The family here was very efficient with their tasks; by six in the afternoon, they were almost done with the preparations.

When Chen Pingsheng came back, he had even reserved a table at a big restaurant outside.

Zhang Tao, Liu Jing, Chen Hao, and the others came too.

Their faces were filled with happiness, no envy nor jealousy, only the anticipation of life getting better and better.

They, too, had now fully settled down in Capital City.

What the future would bring was still unknown, but for now, it was about enjoying the good times.

Back in their hometown, Chen Qi, the younger sister, also received the news right away.

Accompanied by Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, she boarded the overnight train to Capital City.

It happened to coincide with the fact that Chen Pingsheng hadn't returned home for the new year, so inviting them to come now was also a way for the elderly to do some sightseeing and take a vacation in Capital City.

After everything was set, Little An'an came out of her room with a silly smile.

She hadn't expected to move into such a beautiful home all of a sudden.

The kind you couldn't roll out of no matter how much you tossed and turned.

At least she had never heard her mom and dad mention this before.

"Dad, is that really my room?"

"Yes, from now on you can play however you want in there."

"Then can I buy two Teletubbies to put inside?" Little An'an asked with her pretty big eyes fluttering.

"Of course you can."

Chen Pingsheng touched the back of her head, smiling with a sense of contentment.

"Dad will take you to buy them right now."

Since the household still lacked a few items, Chen Pingsheng drove Song Yanxi and Little An'an to browse the big stores outside together.

Song Yanxi wanted to buy everything new.

Items like mops, towels, carpets, sandals, and so on.

She grabbed whatever she saw.

Having purchased a house worth more than ten million, why bother about these little expenses?

Chen An'an was focused on picking out large dolls; she had her own little plan.

And that was to turn that huge room into her favorite children's room.

With mother and daughter both busy, they soon filled up a large car.

Song Yanxi still had a shopping urge, but unfortunately, the Panamera could only hold so much.

Chen Pingsheng simply called Zhang Tao over to help and asked him to bring over the company's 4.2-meter truck.

They intended to buy everything in one go.

The goal was to get the house set up in one day, so they wouldn't have to go shopping again the next day.

When he called for help, so many people turned up.

Song Yanxi began her crazy shopping spree, as there were so many things needed for a new house.

Two ninety-inch LeEco TVs, not just one.

Plus three fully automatic washing machines.

And various kitchen and bathroom appliances—it would have been impossible without so many people helping.

It would take Chen Pingsheng three days to handle it all by himself.

Of course, they could not do without a couple's bed.

Song Yanxi was picky, but eventually, Chen Pingsheng made the decision and bought a bed worth over twenty thousand.

According to the salesperson, this bed even came with an automatic rebound feature.


Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Family Gathering

They toiled until the wee hours of the morning, finally managing to replace all the appliances and bathroom fixtures.

What remained were the beds in the various rooms, which would have to wait until the next day to be exchanged.

On the first day living in the small villa, there was an unusual excitement stirring within.

Song Yanxi sat on her new bed with a plop, wiggling and shifting to the right.

It was as if she were testing its resilience.

Under the veil of night, only a heartwarming night light lit up the room.

After her bath, Song Yanxi didn't bother with playing the role of a policewoman and simply cozied up to Chen Pingsheng's body.

"Husband, what time will your parents arrive tomorrow?"

"Probably around four or five in the afternoon."

Chen Pingsheng stroked her damp hair; in the heat of summer, she wore an ultra-thin silk nightgown.

It was somewhat transparent, revealing a flash of white.

"Let's hurry and get everything in the house sorted out by tomorrow morning so we can go pick them up in the afternoon. The day after, we'll have a family meal."

This plan was actually quite good, considering the distance from the train station to their place.

It would be about a half-hour drive.

"Knock knock~"

At this late hour, only the little one would knock on the door; Chen An'an tiptoed into the room.

Moving into the new house, which was both large and beautiful, was a change for her.

Accustomed to the rental house they had lived in, she simply could not fall asleep on her first night in the new home.

With no other choice, she came to bunk with her parents.

Chen Pingsheng pulled her into his arms. Time indeed flew by, and the little one was almost six years old already.

Now that their circumstances had improved, he wanted to discuss with Song Yanxi the possibility of having another child.

...

At dawn, the first light was breaking.

Chen Pingsheng got up and stretched lazily, still busy with replacing the beds in the rooms.

Then came the task of swapping out old tables and chairs for new ones.

There was no shortage of things to do, joyfully busy in their burgeoning happiness.

By noon, after having replaced the beds, only tables and chairs were left to be taken care of.

All in all, just the furniture they'd bought these two days cost nearly two hundred thousand yuan.

And if one included the tree purchased for Little An'an's backyard, the total approached three hundred thousand yuan.

Indeed, that single tree cost a hundred thousand yuan.

It was planted ceremoniously in the backyard with Chen An'an carefully digging the soil before planting it herself.

By the time the tree grew tall, she too would be much older.

By four in the afternoon, Chen Ping had finally arrived at Capital Train Station with his younger sister and parents.

He had specifically driven the Panamera to pick them up. His sister, at just twenty-one, was nine years his junior.

She had also been working in Sha City since finishing high school, working as a receptionist at a professional beauty salon.

Her wages weren't high, but she was frugal.

After a few years, she had saved a little money. As for his parents,

his father had been in the tractor business since the 90s.

Selling watermelons in the summer and sugarcane in the winter.

These circumstances were considered decent back in their hometown, but in Capital City, they were simply rustic country folk.

His mother, Peng Ying, had always helped him with the small business ventures.

They both endured much hardship in their youth, and now seeing their son so successful,

there couldn't be anything more comforting.

"Brother, nobody believed me when I said you bought a Porsche," said Chen Qi, filled with excitement.

She couldn't imagine her own brother driving a Panamera.

"Get your driver's license quickly, and once you have it, I'll get you one."

"Really?" Chen Qi rejoiced.

"Of course, it's true. Now that you're here, don't leave. Stay in Capital City, you won't be shortchanged with your brother here."

He had only a few close relatives; his parents were getting on in age.

His two older sisters were married and had not come along this time.

Chen Pingsheng turned to his parents, "Mom and Dad, you must be tired after a day on the train. Rest up today, and tomorrow I'll take you to visit the Palace Museum and Tiananmen."

Chen Jianjun was nearly sixty, and since his grandfather's time, they had harbored a dream to visit Capital City one day.

Only today did they have the chance to fulfil it.

"Aren't we going to see your fruit shop first?"

"There's nothing much to see there."

Starting in June, the recharge campaign for the second East Street store came to an end, and the other three stores launched their campaigns simultaneously.

This month, Chen Pingsheng's income would surely not be lower than last month's, it was just a matter of seeing how much the random multiplier would increase.

"Your father is just worried; he wants to see with his own eyes the shops you own," his mother Peng Ying gently persuaded.

Chen Pingsheng simply detoured to the second store on East Street, a high-end fruit supermarket with more than four hundred square meters, which definitely didn't exist in his hometown.

Placed in Sha City, it would absolutely be one of the top.

The first store is almost as big, only the third to fifth stores are a bit smaller.

Of course, not by much.

After all, these three stores together had an investment of one million six hundred thousand.

The location is worse than the second store, but better than any other fruit shop.

At the moment, his public investments were just these five fruit supermarkets.

In a little over a year, earning a steady three to four million yuan should not be a problem.

Allocated to his wife, that would be over two million yuan.

With this money, Song Yanxi could live a very comfortable life.

Chen Jianjun and Peng Ying were utterly amazed, never expecting that their son could expand the business to such a size in just a few short years.

As long as these five stores were there, the days ahead would surely be good.

When they got home, that was when the real shock came.

Learning that this house cost fifteen million cash.

Chen Qi nearly jumped three meters high.

What's the situation, did his brother win the lottery?

Is there a trick to it? Teach your silly little sister, too.

Really tired from the train ride, Chen Jianjun and Peng Ying stayed on the ground floor.

Little sister Chen Qi also stayed on the ground floor, with just the right number of rooms.

By the time Song Yanxi finished cooking, it was already seven in the evening.

After eating, the old couple went to sleep, but Chen Qi wanted to go out for a stroll nearby.

Song Yanxi took her and Little An'an to the big shopping mall outside.

Besides buying her two new outfits, she also gifted her a Longines Elegance collection watch.

About sixteen thousand or so.

As a sister-in-law, she had never been so generous to her own sister Song Wu.

But she was very willing to spend on Chen Qi.

Little An'an, seeing her aunt receive a gift, also clamored for a purchase.

After choosing back and forth, she picked out a large doll.

Song Yanxi scolded her, "You're about to fill a room with dolls, and you still want to buy another one?"

Little An'an cleverly replied, "The others are for hugging, this one is for looking."

Alright, you win.

The large doll, a little less than a thousand.

Chen An'an chuckled with a silly smile.

After the three returned home, Chen Pingsheng was playing chess with his father Chen Jianjun in the backyard, and upon seeing them return, he said:

"Yanxi, in a couple of days, teach your little sister how to drive, and then I'll take her to sign up for a driving school. Once she's learned, I'll give her the Audi as a gift."

Chen Qi had never stayed in Capital City, and back then getting a driver's license wasn't so strict.

There were plenty of places where you could buy one, just needed to spend some money.

As for the Audi A4, he felt it was very suitable for his little sister Chen Qi.

Anyway, it had only been bought half a year ago and was just like new.

"Brother, aren't you being too generous? I have my own money; I don't need your gifts. Look, this Longines watch my sister-in-law bought me, beautiful, isn't it?"

Chen Qi showed off the new quartz watch she had purchased.

More than ten thousand wasn't particularly high-end, but sure to last a good ten years or so.

"It looks good, having a car is a must for a girl's family,"

Chen Pingsheng said, "Besides, you're reaching the age where you'll be looking for a partner, and without something to your name, it's easy to be looked down upon."

He had experienced this downside himself.

For a full six years, his mother-in-law's family had never taken a proper look at him.

With only this one sister, how could he not treat her a bit better.

"Brother, if you give me sister-in-law's car, what will she drive?"

"Of course, I'll drive my Panamera,"

Chen Pingsheng explained, "I'm still going to buy a big car for myself. You see, after you all came, there's not enough room in my car, which is so inconvenient."

Song Yanxi really liked her Porsche.

Ever since she had it, the Audi A4 was seldom driven.

So might as well give it to her; he was still keen on buying a seven-seater.

He had already chosen his targets.

Range Rover, BMW X7, and Lincoln Navigator.

He would choose from among these, for men should drive big cars.

The key point was to project an air of dominance.
