"Can you finish eating here before leaving?"

Dou Zhiqiang said quickly.

"No, brother, Xiaobao just viewed a house, let's go over and have a look."

“I’m thinking about coming back for dinner after watching this.”

"Let's talk about it then. I think our mother is fast asleep."

Qi Yulan said.

"My mother fell asleep not long after she came back, and she was not allowed to eat. It was the same in the hospital. She only knew when to sleep, when to wake up, when to eat, and then go back to sleep after eating."

"What did the doctor say?"

"All the examinations were OK. There is nothing serious. The main problem is that the cardiopulmonary function is a bit poor. This problem is common to the elderly."

"The doctor didn't say anything about my mother's sleeping situation. He just said that people's bodies are different and their resting habits are also different."

"Then let our mother rest. Let's go back first. Why isn't my sister-in-law here?"

"She lives in the house rented by Baolin, and she will probably be back tonight."

"Sister-in-law has such a temper. Just talk about it and it will be fine."

"Row."

"Then let's go."

"I'll send it to you."

"No, wait for our mother to wake up and give her some more water. The heating in your house is quite good, but it's a little hot in the house."

"Row."

Qi Yulan and Dou Zhiming arrived downstairs not long before Wang Yifei's car arrived.

"Uncle, aunt, why did you come down so early? Isn't it cold outside?"

"It's okay, we just came down. Where did you look at the house?"

Qi Yulan said and got into the car.

"Inside the Splendid Nianhua Community in front of the Experimental High School."

"Why are you thinking of going there? Is it far from here?"

"It's not too far, less than twenty minutes by car."

When several people arrived at the Jinxiu Nianhua Community, Wang Douman was looking around.

"Auntie, second uncle, are you here? How about taking a look at this house?"

"Is this decorated?"

"It's well-decorated, you can carry your bags, and you need to buy the bedding on the bed by yourself."

The agent said on the side.

"Gas, water, electricity and heating need to be turned on by yourself at the property management or the water, electricity and gas company."

"We can't live here for a few days, so we don't need the heating."

Qi Yulan said and went inside to take a look.

"Mom, how is this house?"

"It's okay, but it's not as spacious as at home, which also has a yard."

"There is a bigger one over there at the store, but it's noisy and there are a lot of cars coming and going. My dad said you're a light sleeper, so he didn't want the one over there. How about we go over there and have a look?"

Dou Xiaobao said.

"The house facing the street cannot be lived in. The speakers are too loud and I can't sleep at all."

"How about this house? It's still a room in the school district. Manman said that we have to leave a house here for her, and she will come to live with you when she comes back."

"Where did Manman go to school?"

Qi Yulan asked.

"Aunt, come and take a look."

Wang Douman pulled Qi Yulan to the balcony.

"That's our school over there."

"Is it so close? Just come here and eat directly after school."

"I think so."

Wang Douman chuckled.

"Then we want this house?"

Dou Xiaobao said.

"how much is it?"

"[-]."

"One and a half million? Isn't this too expensive?"

"It's not expensive. They even wiped off the change. Look, it's all decorated. We can go out and buy some bedding and move in later."

"You are not allowed to set off firecrackers when entering a new house?"

"We bought it together. The house is very clean. Are there any cleaning people? Let them help clean it up and then we can move in."

"I see you have money to burn, what kind of cleaning do we need with so many people?"

"It's my fault. Let's clean it up ourselves."

Dou Xiaobao said quickly.

"Dad, please sign a contract with this beauty."

"I sign?"

"Yes, this is your house, so of course you need to sign it."

"Uncle, let's sign the contract today. The real estate certificate will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm already off work at this time."

The agent said on the side.

"It's New Year's Eve tomorrow? People don't have a holiday?"

"There shouldn't be any holidays. These people usually have holidays starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year. However, water, electricity and gas must contact the property management as soon as possible today, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go around in the dark."

"Dad, you sign the contract first, and I'll go to the property management company and ask them to deliver water and electricity."

Dou Xiaobao said and was about to go downstairs.

"Beauty, what about the gas and heating?"

"For gas, you need to contact the gas company. It should be available tomorrow morning. For heating, you need to contact the heating company. I'm afraid it won't be possible before this year."

"Forget it, there is air conditioning anyway. You sign the contract with my dad first, and I will come over and transfer the money to you later."

"Mr. Dou, please transfer the money first. We will have a holiday after get off work this afternoon. The finance department will not start work until next year."

"No problem, give me your account number."

Dou Xiaobao took out his mobile phone, called up mobile banking, and transferred [-] million according to the account number given by the intermediary.

"Okay, it's been transferred. Let the finance department check it. It's best to complete all the procedures. You can apply for the real estate certificate tomorrow morning."

"No problem, I'll come over tomorrow morning and take my uncle to apply for the real estate certificate."

After Dou Xiaobao finished transferring, he hurried to the property management of the community and asked someone to help deliver water and electricity.

"Auntie, can I live in this house?"

Wang Douman pulled Qi Yulan and pointed to the second bedroom.

"Okay, Xiaobao can't stay at home for a few days anyway."

"Sister Feifei and I will live in this room, and let Brother Bao live in the room on the north side."

"no problem."

"I'm afraid Brother Bao won't agree."

"If he doesn't agree, let him sleep in the living room."

"Aunt is the best, let's go shopping then?"

"Let's wait until Xiaobao comes back."

As Qi Yulan was talking, the lights in the room suddenly turned on.

"Are you calling?"

"Well, Brother Xiaobao must have found the property."

Wang Yifei said and walked into the bathroom.

"Have I gone to see the water? The water has also been delivered. I will go out and buy the bedding later, and then I can live here."

"That's just right. Just now I was thinking about staying at Manman's house."

"Auntie, will you stay at my house today? Have dinner at my house tonight."

Wang Douman said.

"Let's wait until Xiaobao comes up. Today we have to clean up the room first."

Qi Yulan said and started to clean up the clutter in the room.

In fact, the rooms are relatively clean, and these well-decorated houses are cleaned regularly.

By the time Dou Xiaobao came up, the three mothers had almost tidied up the room.

"So diligent, have you finished sorting all this?"

“The room is quite clean, just tidied up some debris.”

Wang Yifei wiped her nose and said.

"Then let's go out and take a look and buy everything we need."

Dou Xiaobao said and looked at Dou Zhiming, who was still reading the contract.

"Dad, haven't you finished signing yet?"

"After signing, I am now a city resident."

Dou Zhiming smiled.

"You are a city dweller if you have a house? What do you rely on for food and drink?"

Qi Yulan rolled her eyes at him.

"Mom, from now on you can dance square dance with the old men and women in the square and enjoy the life in the city. As for eating and drinking, that doesn't matter."

“How can we eat and drink if we don’t make money?”

"Mom, don't you still have your son? The money I gave you is just for spending. If you don't have enough, come back and ask me for it."

"You don't want to take a wife anymore? The bride price is huge."

"You don't need to ask about this, I've already prepared everything."

Dou Xiaobao knew why his mother said that.

The betrothal gifts in their place are relatively heavy.

If you are engaged, the man needs to prepare four gold coins and a colorful array of reds and greens.

If you get married, you have to be prepared to remain motionless.

The four golds refer to gold rings, gold earrings, gold necklaces and gold bracelets.

Colorful reds and greens refer to gifts, usually around [-] yuan.

Motionless refers to the car and the house.

These are nothing to Dou Xiaobao.

But it is very difficult for ordinary families. Getting married once can completely wipe out the family.

Some people have to go out to work, even in coal mines, to get married for the sake of their children.

This has also led to the delay in finding a wife for the [-] or [-]-year-old young man in the village.
