Chapter 1013 Buying a House
After waiting for a while, the two elderly people finally arrived late.
Lin Jianping looked at the two children, grinning from ear to ear.
"They're all good kids. Sister, you say life is tough, but having these children around is a blessing. They're both good at studying and good-looking."
Yue Xingxing and Yue Xiaohu looked at the familiar silhouettes of their granduncle and grandmother, and quickly recognized this relative without feeling much estrangement.
Of course, Lin Jianping was generous, giving them greeting gifts in the form of bank cards.
Only then did Yue Xiaohu and Yue Xingxing realize that their grandmother's brother was also wealthy.
Back then, both Lin Jianping and Lin Chunju were educated.
Their perspectives were naturally broader than others, enabling them to make a name for themselves more easily.
Everyone enjoyed a harmonious meal, and after finishing, they escorted the two elders to the airport.
No one felt particularly sad, knowing that they would meet again during the upcoming holiday season.
Yue Xiaohu held the bank card in hand, feeling delighted and planning on how to spend it.
Suddenly, he heard Sister Qingqing say something.
"The money granduncle gave us is quite a lot, why don't we buy a house?"
"Buy a house?"
Yue Xiaohu and Yue Xingxing were stunned.
Is this something students should be considering?
Yue Qingqing seemed unfazed by their surprise and said seriously.
"I think it's quite suitable to buy a house now, why don't we schedule a time to go see some?"
Yue Xiaohu incredulously asked, "How much money is really on this card that granduncle gave us?"
Previously at the hospital, Yue Qingqing had received a message and mentioned a figure.
Yue Xiaohu and Yue Xingxing gasped.
Despite the shock, they had vaguely heard about the price of houses in Beijing.
This amount of money is astronomical for students, but in terms of buying a house, it might not be enough.
"Certainly not enough to buy in the city center, but we could look at the surrounding areas, especially those under development. Besides, there are loans available now, we could make a down payment and use a loan for the rest."
Back in those days, buying a house meant emptying the family's savings to pay full in cash.
Loans were not commonly used.
Yue Xiaohu hesitantly scratched his face, looking at the bank card in his hand.
If this money was spent on games or hobbies, it could last for years before running out.
But if it was used for buying a house, even just the down payment would swallow it all, and maybe mom and dad would have to chip in.
Even though Yue Xiaohu had become a bit cheeky over time, his character still resembled his parents'.
They are all prudent types, rarely considering investments beyond their abilities.
Moreover, he lives at school now and might not be able to leave even once a month, so buying a house seems pointless.
Yue Xingxing, however, proved her cleverness as her eyes suddenly lit up.
"My friends say house prices have been slowly rising recently, especially in areas with good educational resources. They typically increase every school season. Money sitting idle won't grow, might as well invest."
Yue Xiaohu never expected Yue Xingxing to make decisions so quickly, feeling like shaking her shoulders to wake her up.
"Come to your senses, buying a house is way too distant!"
Yue Xingxing looked at him disdainfully and snatched the bank card from him.
"Holding onto the money doesn't do any good, you'd just spend frivolously every day."
Yue Xiaohu was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
"Anyway, your school is strict, and you rarely get out. I and Qingqing can look at houses and help you choose one, you just need to sign when we've decided."
Yue Qingqing watched Yue Xiaohu's expression and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Buying a house is like betting on the fortunes of the country.
The more stable and prosperous the country, the more people will lean towards settling down.
Yue Qingqing could sense that China's fortune had been steadily rising in recent years.
In this situation, buying a house is always a wise choice.
Don't look at Yue Xiaohu's current crestfallen demeanor, he might even thank them in the future.
