Chapter 5 Buying a Homestead!

My mother, Zhou Yuling, has already bought vegetables. She bought pork head meat, yuba and edamame at the deli. These are special dishes for her father to drink.

Garlic water spinach, fried bacon with red cabbage moss, roasted pork with sweet potato powder, stir-fried green beans, green vegetable tofu soup, Zhou Yuling cooks all the dishes that her son Zheng Wentong likes to eat.

Zheng Wentong started helping out in the kitchen, but later he couldn't help but cook a few dishes by himself, which impresses his mother Zhou Yuling.

"Hey, this is a first-year class in Puhai. He has grown up. He cooks well. At least he won't starve to death." Zhou Yuling praised her son's cooking skills.

"When will my brother and sister-in-law have a drink?" Zheng Wentong chatted with his mother in the kitchen.

"Get engaged first next month, and hold a wedding banquet in the first month of next year. You don't have to come back for the engagement, and you, the younger brother, will be there when the wine is held." The mother told her son.

"How is my future sister-in-law?" Zheng Wentong asked with concern.

"Xiao Liu has a good personality, is kind, is pretty, is very polite to me, and is good at housekeeping." Talking about the eldest daughter-in-law, my mother is full of praise.

"My aunt is still very good. When it comes to matchmaking, she is right." Zheng Wentong praised her aunt.

My grandfather is a retired soldier and has two sons and two daughters. Zhou Yuling is the second sister, my uncle Zhou Zhiguo is the mayor of Yuqiao Town, and my uncle Zhou Zhifa does decoration.

"You have also graduated now, and the eldest is not young. Would you like to ask my aunt to show you one? She mentioned to me before that others are also famous college students, and you are still alumni."

Zheng Wentong thanked Bumin, "Don't, don't, you have to trust your son, you can definitely find a wife by yourself."

My mother smiled, thinking that there was something wrong with Zheng Wentong, "Wentong, did you have a date in Puhai? I'm sorry to tell my parents."

Zheng Wentong lamented his mother's imagination, "Don't worry, it's nothing. If I fall in love, I will definitely not hide it. I will show it to you openly. You can just prepare the meeting ceremony."

Zhou Yuling was out of breath, and threw the chopped spinach on the cutting board, "If you want to eat it, fry it yourself! Driving a Porsche is useless, but you still can't find a partner!"

Zheng Wentong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he fried all the dishes and brought them to the living room. Uncle Zheng Xingmin came over just now, and it was time for dinner.

He looked at his nephew wearing an apron, and teased Zheng Wentong, "Isn't this our Mr. Zheng? Such a big boss, but also to cook by himself, I'm flattered."

"Uncle, don't hurt me. My dad has hidden a dead bottle of Feitian Moutai. I'll open it for you today and drink it." Zheng Wentong borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

Zheng Xingmin was very happy, "I thought it would be nice if your father could get a bottle of Wuliangye when you came back, but it turns out that you are fine and drink Moutai directly. Don't feel bad for my sister-in-law." The uncle joked.

None of the four sons and daughters of grandfather Zheng Guoquan went into official careers, and all of them were engaged in small businesses. However, the relationship between the siblings was very deep, and they never blush for money.

Zhou Yuling dug out the Moutai from the master bedroom, and pretended to blame her son, "You are sharp-eyed. Your dad originally planned to save this bottle of Moutai for the New Year's Eve dinner, but now you did it in advance."

The uncle poured wine into his father's wine cup, and also poured two taels for himself, and motioned to his nephew, "Wen Tong, would you like some?"

Zheng Wentong shook his head, "I'm still allergic to alcohol, I've been working in Puhai for a year, and I don't drink at all."

Not drinking is a good thing, so Zheng Xingmin didn't persuade him too much, and said to his nephew, "After dinner, you can park the car in my yard, and troublesome people come out of poverty."

"There is no monitoring in your community, and your father's business is easy to offend people. It is not guaranteed that someone will secretly slash your car at night." Uncle, this is speaking from experience.

My uncle's house is not far away, a village in the city, a four-story self-built house, two large yards at the front and back, more than enough to park two cars.

Zheng Xingjian agrees very much, "It just so happens that you also go to see your grandma, give the old man some money, and don't carry the things. Those nutritional products are left uneaten, and they all go bad in the end."

"Uncle, my brother will get married next year, and the family will not be able to live there. Isn't there a homestead next door to your house for sale? Look at our house, how about we two being neighbors?"

Zheng Xingmin felt that it was very sudden. He had mentioned this matter to Zheng Xingjian before, and the eldest brother couldn't deny it. How can a nephew suddenly mention this matter again?

Moreover, Zheng Xingmin also knows the family situation of the elder brother's family to ninety-nine out of ten, and the two brothers often borrow money from each other when they do business.

The eldest brother Zheng Xingjian has already bought a house and a front house in the provincial capital, so he probably doesn't have much money left over to buy a homestead and build a house.

The homestead next door to Zheng Xingmin's house is 150 square meters, and the foundations have all been laid, so the house can be built directly.

Although the homestead cannot be transferred in name, in fact there is still a lot of room for manipulation.As long as both the buyer and the buyer agree, and the village committee notarizes it, it can still be traded.

Zheng Xingmin's mind turned quickly, and he immediately knew that Zheng Wentong was going to pay the money, but it was a good thing, and he also agreed.

"It's not like it was in 30. Liu's family next door is asking 100 yuan. If you want to build the house and add decorations, it will cost [-] million less."

Before being reborn, Zheng Wentong experienced the epidemic in Central Chu Province, and Hongshan City, where Tongji County is located, was the hardest-hit area besides Jiangchu City, the provincial capital.

At that time, Zheng Wentong went home for the Spring Festival, and he was quarantined at home with his family for more than two months.In contrast, Zheng Wentong feels comfortable living in a self-built house.

My uncle's family grows a lot of vegetables in the yard, and my grandma takes care of them whenever she has nothing to do. There is plenty of rice, flour, grain and oil, and she also sent a lot of supplies to the eldest brother Zheng Xingjian's family.

Zheng Wentong handed his bronzing business card to his uncle, and Zheng Xingmin took it over, "CEO of Inclined Capital (Huaxia) Co., Ltd., Room 588, Pufa Building, No. 1506 Pudong South Road."

Zheng Xingmin felt very surprised, "I have been to Pudong South Road, is it near the Dongchang Road subway station?"

"Yes, across the street from Jinmao Tower and World Financial Center, you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower in our company office building." Zheng Wentong briefly introduced.

Zheng Xingmin looked at his nephew and found it unbelievable. If such a good programmer didn't do it, how could he suddenly become a financial executive after traveling abroad?
"When I was traveling in the Netherlands, I met the boss of a multinational investment fund. He intends to return to China to invest in Internet companies. I also participated in the company's preliminary preparations."

There are not so many taboos between real relatives, Zheng Xingmin asked directly, "Then how much is your monthly salary as CEO?"

"Our management position has an annual salary system, 50 a year. If the company's performance is good, there will be equity incentives and dividends."

Of course Zheng Xingmin knew that his nephew was talking about Renminbi, but a salary of [-] a month was quite a lot. Zhou Yuling could not suppress a smile on her face when she heard that her son was so promising.

Zheng Xingmin wanted to persuade his son who was studying in the provincial capital that if he had an annual salary of 50 yuan, he might as well give up the civil service exam.

My cousin, Zheng Wenbai, was born in [-]. He is a senior in the second half of the year, majoring in international trade. He is preparing for next year's national and provincial exams at school.

"Then the Porsche downstairs?" Zheng Xingmin asked, with an annual salary of 50 yuan, he couldn't afford to drive a Porsche worth 200 million yuan.

"The company distributes it, and the company reimburses the gas expenses." Zheng Wentong said half-truths and half-truths.

Zheng Wentong signed a lease contract with the company, and the contract stipulated that rent would be exempted.

During the lease period, the gasoline fee, toll fee, bridge toll and parking fee incurred during the company's use of the vehicle shall be borne by the company.

"That is, with your 3.0 displacement, the fuel consumption per 12 kilometers is at least [-] liters, even if you can afford it, you may not be able to drive it."

Zheng Xingmin drives a 2011 white BMW 320i fashion model, with a 2.0 displacement, and the fuel consumption is not as low as that.

Zheng Xingmin made a plan for Zheng Wentong in advance, "If you and your father and son have discussed it, then I will contact Liu Quan and make an appointment to complete the formalities. When the construction team is in place, the construction will begin."

Zheng Xingjian originally had to consider that Zhou Yuling, a mother-in-law, didn't want to live with her son and daughter-in-law, so she pushed Zheng Xingjian.

Zheng Xingjian thought about it, anyway, he didn't have to pay for it himself, and the youngest son was willing to express his filial piety. Parents don't need to deliberately refuse, but it would appear to be a good thing, so he agreed.

Zhou Yuling was very happy, "When the house is built, let your elder brother and sister-in-law choose it first. If the young couple is willing to live in the community, we will move there. If they want to live in a building, we will not move."

Zheng Xingjian pondered for a while, "If our house is left for the boss to get married, it will be a bit shabby, and the face of the in-laws will not look good. We have to renovate it at the end of the year."

"Renovate the bathroom, replace it with a natural gas water heater, and then re-do the latex paint. The room needs to be laid with solid wood floors, the wardrobe must be rebuilt, and furniture and appliances must be bought."

After Zheng Xingjian calculated, it would cost another one hundred thousand. Hey, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law for his son these days.

After dinner, Zheng Wentong drove his uncle home, it was only a few minutes away, and he would be there in a while.

The grandma who lived on the first floor heard the movement in the yard and came out to meet them.She was very happy to see her grandson Zheng Wentong.

"Wentong is back, good, good." The old man took Zheng Wentong's hand and chatted with his grandson, asking him about his work and whether he had found a partner, and talked for a long time.

Zheng Wentong patiently chatted with the old man for a while, and finally gave grandma 1000 yuan.

Grandma refused to accept it at first, and finally resorted to her trump card, saying that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival fee given by her father Zheng Xingjian in advance, so grandma accepted it.

The old man asked about the new car in the yard. Hearing that it was allocated by his grandson, he praised his grandson for his promise. Zheng Wentong also promised the old man to take her for a drive tomorrow.

Aunt Liu Fang was watching TV in the bedroom on the second floor. When she saw her nephew coming, she greeted him warmly.

Zheng Wentong and his cousin Zheng Wenbai are two years apart, and they have a very good relationship. Every winter and summer vacation, they live in their uncle's house for a long time, which made my mother very jealous, saying that they raised a son for their uncle and aunt.

Liu Fang heard the sound of the Porsche driving into the front yard just now upstairs, and was startled by the big noise made by her nephew.

Zheng Wentong told his aunt about his new job and the origin of Porsche.

Liu Fang quickly understood that Zheng Wentong majored in computer science at university, and since Incline Capital intends to invest in Internet companies, it is not surprising to find Zheng Wentong.

Aunt Liu Fang was envious of her nephew's European tour and asked about his travel experience in Amsterdam.

"At that time, I heard that you resigned from Huafu to travel in Europe. Your mother and I were still worried about you, for fear that you would find a foreign girlfriend to come back." Liu Fang joked with Zheng Wentong.

Zheng Xingmin also went on to joke, "Wen Tong hasn't seen anything for a year since he broke up with his girlfriend before graduation. If you really find a blond, blue-eyed, long-legged, it will be a glory for the country!"

Liu Fang laughed at her husband's superficiality, "Why? Find a foreign girl and win glory for the country. I think you want to win glory for the country!"

Zheng Xingmin didn't dare to get angry, so he persuaded Zheng Wentong to stay overnight, and slept in his cousin Zheng Wenbai's room. The quilts were all ready-made, so there was no need to tidy up.

Zheng Wentong said hello to his parents. He was a little tired after driving for six or seven hours today. He washed up early and went to bed, and it was rare for him to get a good night's sleep.

 Thank you for your votes, see you this afternoon.
