Buy another set

  Work harder, everyone give more strength, collect and recommend!

  ***

  A ray of morning sunlight passed through the blinds and landed on Li Yifan's face. Li Yifan, who was lying in bed, turned over and didn't rush to get up.

  He opened his eyes and looked around the room, which was not small, about thirty square meters. There was a large wooden bed, next to it was a wardrobe, behind the wardrobe was a bathroom, and opposite the bed was a TV cabinet with a large TV on top.

  Because it was only '99, the hanging LED TV had not yet become widespread, so in front of the bed was an old VCR-type television.

  Looking at everything in front of him, Li Yifan let out a sigh of relief. Yes, he was indeed back in 1999. This feeling was just like that of a poor person who had suddenly won the jackpot of five million dollars in the lottery - the next morning, they would inevitably take another look at the ticket in their hand to make sure it was still there.

  After taking a bath in the room, he walked to the balcony and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling glass door. Looking at the large artificial lake not far from his home, Li Yifan let out a long sigh.

  Today, the weather in Beijing is very good, with bright sunshine and a hint of cool breeze in the air. It's just right for midsummer. The greening of the community downstairs is also well done, with lush greenery everywhere, and the meticulous care of the property management makes it a feast for the eyes.

  It's true that I've finally settled down in the heart of my motherland. In my previous life, when I was still a nobody, how many times did I dream of owning a house of my own in the capital city, having a home to call my own?

  Unfortunately, that dream seemed so unattainable at the time. Later, after joining a special organization, my economic conditions greatly improved and I saw more of the world. However, due to work requirements, I still had to roam the four seas and never had a long-term stable home. But this lifetime, this dream was realized early on...

  "Yi Fan, Yi Fan, come and have breakfast quickly."

  Downstairs came the sound of my mother's summons, these two days, my parents were crazy buying, fortunately, my aunt sent her special car and driver to help, otherwise, these two days of shopping, just buying these things would have been enough for them to run their legs off.

  Because it's a new house, there are still many places to decorate, and the various daily necessities needed are not few, so it's a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Li Yifan is now rich and has always been willing to spend money. In this place in Beijing, buying a new home, as long as you're willing to spend money, there really isn't anything that can stump you.

  Soon, all kinds of household items were purchased, and my father and mother were very satisfied with this new house. They never thought that in their lifetime they would be able to live in a luxurious mansion like the ones they usually saw on TV dramas.

  They are very satisfied with their current living conditions and cherish them deeply. Every morning, after getting up early, Mother finishes making breakfast for the whole family, then starts cleaning the 240-square-meter house from top to bottom, making it spotless every day.

  The father also followed suit, from which it can be seen that the two elderly people attach great importance to today's life, as if they cannot believe that this house belongs to their son unless they clean it every day.

  Li Yifan also advised his parents not to work too hard, and if necessary, they could just hire a part-time worker to do the cleaning. However, as soon as he said this, he was scolded by the two elderly people.

  "Son, you now have money, it's not wrong to buy a house, but this life is still long, spending money can't be extravagant. Besides, cleaning work doesn't take much effort, we old couple will just exercise our bodies."

  A few words later, Li Yifan was speechless. Indeed, compared to his parents' views on life, he had nothing to say. After going downstairs, his mother had already prepared his favorite egg drop soup with lean meat, and his father had specially made stir-fried noodles in the southern style, along with a few steamed buns.

  Auntie has also been warmly invited to stay with them for the past few days, and it's really hard to resist Dad and Mom's enthusiastic invitation. Plus, Aunt Anna is also curious about their new home, so she ended up staying there too.

  At this time, Aunt Anna looked at Li Yifan's eyes, also filled with kindness. Auntie was not young anymore, but until now she still didn't have her own children. This was the fact that Li Yifan learned from his parents in the past few days. No wonder Auntie always looked at him with such a gentle gaze, perhaps in her heart, she might be loving the house and its crow, taking him as her closest junior.

  "Look at you, kid, why don't you get up early for once, always sleeping in."

  His mother looked at Li Yifan with a loving and reproachful gaze.

  "He's also getting old, but still doesn't behave properly all day."

  His father also followed and said a sentence to Li Yihuan.

  "Big brother and sister-in-law, Yifan is only 17 years old now, which is the time for him to grow up, so being able to eat a lot and sleep a lot is the most normal thing for boys of his age."

  Anna's aunt actually made a few excuses for Li Yifan, and her mother didn't say much, but now that there is an extra caring aunt in the family, Li Yifan's heart feels warm.

  Li Yihuan didn't make any excuses, but just smiled and picked up his rice bowl to start eating.

  "By the way, Yifan, this house you bought is not bad, the geographical environment is good, the supporting facilities are also very complete, and the transportation is also quite convenient. However, there is a problem, if you come to Beijing to attend university in the future, those famous universities in Beijing are mostly located on the west side of the city, and Haidian is not close to them. In my opinion, since you have money now, why not buy another house near the university road? It would save you from having to travel back and forth every day when you attend school, and after you start university, you will need your own independent space. Living in a dormitory all the time is not ideal."

  Auntie was eating while talking to Li Yifan, also saying it for Li Lisheng and Zhang Shu to hear. Actually, Li Yifan had this idea a long time ago. Now, this house in Chaoyang, near Haidian is indeed a bit far away. But looking back now, it seems like the past was quite convenient, taking the subway or bus would only take over an hour to get there.

  But if it's several years later, when the capital is crowded with young people from all over the country who come here to pursue their dreams, then traffic will be a big problem.

  Every day, commuting between Chaoyang and Haidian takes at least three or four hours. Now, as a rich person, if you let Li Yifan take the crowded subway that can squeeze people to death, he will definitely not be happy.

  "Hmm, what to do then? Should we buy another set?"

  Li Yifan continued along his aunt's words, while speaking, he secretly looked at Li Lisheng and Zhang Shu to see their reaction. He only saw Zhang Shu frowning slightly, but soon relaxed, while Li Lisheng didn't have much of a reaction.

  "I think Anna's opinion is not bad, but I don't know where that Xuefu Road is. However, being closer to school is better, and it won't delay daily commutes to and from school. Moreover, Anna makes sense, children do need their own private space when they grow up. Furthermore, looking at the future housing prices in Beijing, they will definitely continue to rise. It's a good idea to buy another suite while we can still afford it, just as an investment."

  Dad is quite open-minded this time, fully agreeing with Li Yifan and Aunt Anna's opinions. In fact, the main reason is that he is actually very sensitive to housing prices, plus the new theories that Aunt Anna and Li Yifan have been instilling in him these days, making him have a new understanding of the economic structure of this society.

  Dad agreed, and Mom wouldn't object either. So the whole family headed to Haidian again in the afternoon. At that time, the development of Haidian was not very intense, especially around Xueyuan Road, where all the surrounding universities were well-known domestically, so the environment was still pretty good, but there weren't many new buildings.

  However, as a transitional house, Li Yifan did not have high requirements for this house, so through an intermediary, he quickly found a suitable second-hand house.

  The original owner of this house is a professor at a certain university, and the house was bought from the school's welfare housing. The house has been around for 7 or 8 years, but it is very clean and tidy. This old professor has already retired due to his age and is planning to go abroad to reunite with his children and spend his later years in seclusion, so he decided to sell this house.

  The house is about 120 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The design is quite regular, and the interior decoration is relatively new, so there wasn't much room for price negotiation. It was sold directly at a price of 35,000 yuan per square meter, with a total price of 4.2 million yuan. The transaction was completed quickly.

  The old professor was also a generous person. He didn't want any of the furniture in the room and directly gave it to Li Yihua and his family, only taking away a few precious books that were not many in number.
