Chapter 212 It must be comfortable to live here
When we came out of the cinema, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
My eyes got used to the dimness in the screening room, and when I stood in the sunlight, I felt that the whole world was shining with golden light.
Put on the helmet, then prop up the motorcycle, put your feet on the ground, and sit forward a little.
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi, who were also wearing helmets, raised their legs one after the other and squeezed into his back seat.
With a rumble of the thumping motorcycle, the three of them slowly drove along the streets and alleys of the city.
After passing through the old commercial street and riding across two streets, a newly developed area appeared before our eyes.
It may seem a little remote now, but it will soon become the new city center.
Fang Wei took the road from No. 1 Middle School.
It is summer vacation now, but No. 1 Middle School is still in classes. It is the sophomores who are taking make-up classes. Or perhaps it should be said that they are about to be seniors, because after all, seniors have already taken the college entrance examination, so they can have their vacation earlier.
Fang Wei rode very slowly, as if to show them the way:
"From now on, when we go to class, we will take this road. We will walk along this street and then turn right, and we will arrive at the north gate of our community."
"It's so close!! It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to walk!"
"Well, almost."
Although it is a new community that was built not long ago, the surrounding supporting facilities are already very complete, including convenience stores, fast food restaurants, fruit stores, clinics, etc. There is also a large shopping mall under construction not far away.
The house was bought at the end of the year and the renovation started after the Chinese New Year. It was completed in May. After ventilation for three or four months, it was ready for move-in when school started in September.
I bought two houses in Jingui Community. The renovated one is for my own use, and the other one is simply decorated and rented out.
As for the four shops on Guihua Road, there is no need to renovate them. They can be rented out directly and the tenants will decorate the shops themselves.
After all, the city is far from Pineapple Island, and my dad and his family don’t have time to come often, so Fang has to do all the work like renting out the property and collecting rent himself.
"You two will be my tenants from now on! You don't want to live under a bridge, do you? Remember to be polite when talking to the landlord next time! Be careful or I will raise your rent!" Fang Wei threatened.
"I don't have any money! I used all my money to buy a cell phone!"
"I, I don't have any money either...!"
"??"
Cailing said she had no money, but Zhiyi, you, a rich woman who gets 2,400 yuan a month for your writing, also said you had no money? You saved all the money for your dowry, right?
"If you don't have money, then sell yourself to pay off your debts. Come and be a maid for Master Fang. From now on, you will be responsible for all the housework, including my laundry and bed sheets!"
"Humph……"
The cunning maids rolled their eyes around, and no one knew what they were thinking about.
I entered the community, parked the car, and went to Building No. 2.
Entering the elevator, the two girls pressed the button for the sixteenth floor with ease.
As the elevator rose steadily, my eardrums began to feel stuffy.
"Why do my ears feel like they're blocked when I'm in the elevator?" Cai Ling covered her ears with her hands.
"Just open your mouth and open and close it a few times."
“…Eh! Really! Why?”
"The air pressure."
The elevator door opened and the three of them walked to Room 1603 together.
The house has been renovated, and the original renovation waste and dust have all been cleaned up. When you open the security door, you will see a solid wooden door with bright varnish. When you open the solid wooden door again, the entrance is the porch.
There is a simple shoe cabinet in the entrance hall, and there is a mirror next to it. When you walk into the house, you will see a spacious and bright hall.
"Wow--!"
“It’s completely changed!”
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi couldn't help but sigh.
The last time they came here together, the house had not yet been renovated and looked like it was under construction. But now it has completely changed and looks very homey.
"How about this decoration? Is it okay?"
"Yes, yes! So beautiful!"
Fang Wei was also quite satisfied with the decoration effect. He specially went to find Wen Susu and asked the designer from her company to help with the design.
According to Fang Wei's requirements, the whole house adopts a modern and simple design, with white as the main color, matched with dark gray and wood color, creating a clean and bright sense of space.
Various soft furnishings also adopt simple lines. The sofa is made of gray fabric and is decorated with several soft-colored pillows. The coffee table is designed with a glass table top and a metal bracket underneath, which looks light and stylish.
The kitchen is connected to the dining room and adopts a semi-open design. The kitchen cabinets are flat door panels without too many decorative lines, with smooth surfaces and easy to clean. The countertops are made of black quartz stone, which is wear-resistant and easy to maintain. The dining area is equipped with a rectangular wooden dining table, which is matched with several simple dining chairs.
The living room, balcony and other places are all made of ceramic surfaces, while the bedroom uses light-colored composite wood floors. The bed is a platform bed with a legless design. The bedside tables and wardrobes are simple linear designs. The curtains are made of pure cotton and linen materials, which ensure both light blocking and breathability.
In terms of lighting, Fang Wei did not use a large chandelier, but instead used some embedded downlights and wall lamps, which made the light softer. He then placed some green plants in appropriate locations in the TV cabinet and the living room to make the overall visual effect more lively and vibrant.
The overall decoration is not luxurious, and it mainly takes into account simplicity and practicality. The money spent on the whole set is less than the decoration plan that my father and others originally decided on.
Perhaps from the perspective of the elders, this decoration is still a bit too plain, but for young people like them, it seems quite to their taste.
Apart from anything else, this decoration style will not be out of date even after 20 years.
"Go in and take a look yourself."
"it is good!"
The two girls ran into the house together to take a look.
Basically, all the home appliances and furniture are available, so you can move in anytime if you want.
But basically, apart from Fang Wei, my parents seldom come over. It can be said that after buying and renovating this house, they just regarded it as buying a house in the city for their son.
Of course, if you are not busy at home, it would be nice to come to the city and stay for a few days occasionally to change your taste. After all, you can’t live your life just to make money, you also have to know how to spend money.
"Wow! Every room has air conditioning!"
"Yes, I ordered it at the end of the year. Air conditioners are cheaper in winter, so I just bought them together."
“It must be very comfortable to live here!”
The two girls lay down on the bed. The plastic film of the mattress had not been removed yet, but it felt so soft just lying on it.
Fang Wei opened the curtains of the room. From the height of the sixteenth floor, the view could cover a long distance in the city.
Living in the city and living on the island are two completely different feelings. Changing your place of residence from time to time and being surrounded by the alternation of noise and tranquility will enrich your sensory experience.
Looking back, he saw Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi still lazily lying on the bed. Their lying posture outlined the girls' charming curves, which made Fang Wei unable to take his eyes away for a moment.
"Still lying down, you'll fall asleep if you lie down again!"
"Woo~ I've been walking all day, I'm so tired, let me lie down for a while!"
Although it was a strange room and a strange bed, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi felt like they were back home, feeling extremely comfortable and not feeling awkward at all. "Hurry up, this is my room! My bed!"
"What's wrong with your bed? You won't even lie down on such a big bed. You're so stingy."
"The plastic film hasn't been torn off yet. There's a lot of dust on it."
"what?!"
The two girls then sat up and playfully brushed the dust off the back of each other's clothes.
"Then when we move in, we will definitely have to do a thorough cleaning, right?"
"Of course you do. That will be your job then!"
"Hmph, just sweep it!"
"..."
Don't use such a tough tone and say such spineless words!
"So this is your room, where is our room?"
"You can choose for yourselves. The one on the right is the master bedroom, which belongs to my dad and his family. You can choose the remaining two rooms."
Cailing and Zhiyi went to choose a room together.
After entering junior high school, the three of them had already told their parents that they would live together outside the school.
Just as expected, Uncle Yuan and Uncle Liu were definitely worried when they heard that they were going to live outside the school. But when they heard that they were going to live with Fang Wei, who was sensible and mature, they felt relieved. Since there were three of them living together, everyone knew each other well and could take care of each other.
After all, ‘Zhiyi lives here too, it’s not just me’, ‘Cai Ling lives here too, it’s not just me’, ‘There are all kinds of people in the dormitory, living in school is definitely not as comfortable as living at home, and we can study together every night’, such reasons are always useful.
With four bedrooms and two living rooms, the room is quite sufficient.
Originally Fang Wei was planning to ask Ah Sheng to live with him, but his buddy was not up to standard and was admitted to No. 2 Middle School, which is a bit far from here, so his buddy had to live in the dormitory.
"Zhiyi, why don't we live in the same room together!" Xu Cailing suggested.
"Sure." Liu Zhiyi nodded. She also liked to be close to Cailing.
"There are enough rooms. You two can choose one each. The beds in both rooms are meters long. I'm afraid you will be too crowded."
"OK then."
Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi each chose a room.
Cailing's room is opposite to Fang Wei's room, and Zhiyi's room is next to Fang Wei's room. Both of them are very satisfied with this distribution.
"Zhiyi! If you want to sleep with the air conditioner on, tell me and we can sleep together. This way we can save the air conditioner for one room!"
"Uh-huh!"
"...You are so frugal and thrifty? Then can I also..."
"Pervert! Shame on you!"
"...?"
Fang Wei watered the green plants in the house. It was a once in a while visit, so he must not forget to water them.
There is a tray under the potted plant. Just pour the water into the tray. The water will be siphoned up from the holes at the bottom, making watering more thorough and you don't need to water it for a longer time.
After looking at the houses, there is nothing much to do. I will just take a break during the summer vacation and will probably move in when school starts next time.
"Let's go and check out the other house."
"Then let's go~"
Another house is in the same community and has also been renovated and is being ventilated.
As a conscientious landlord, Fang Wei was not in a hurry to rent out the house. Usually, many people who rent such a big house are families, and he couldn't let people breathe formaldehyde.
The decoration of this house is much simpler, with standard rental decoration. According to the current market price, the rent for such a 120-square-meter house with four bedrooms and two living rooms in the city center is only more than 800 yuan, which can be used to pay the mortgage.
In a few years, the price will rise to more than 4,000. The rent will increase fivefold, but the house price will increase more than tenfold.
No wonder many people in later generations would rather rent a house than buy one. After all, the rental-to-sale ratio in China is indeed ridiculously high. For many people, if it is not an urgent need, renting a house is obviously much more cost-effective.
No matter what, buying a house is a sure-win investment these days. Fang Wei plans to persuade his father to go to Shanghai and buy some real estate in the future.
After leaving the community, Fang Wei looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock.
He took out his new cell phone and called his dad.
"Hello? Who is it?"
"I!"
"Who are you……"
"Dad! Can't you hear it?"
"… Brat! Who did I think you were? Have you bought your phone?"
"I've bought it. Write down your phone number. I just left the community and will be back soon. I think I'll be home around six. If mom has cooked, you two can eat first."
"That's not a big deal. By the way, Awei, your school called this afternoon and said that your admission letter from No. 1 Middle School has arrived, and asked you to go to the Academic Affairs Office to pick it up."
"Okay, fine. I'll go to town to get it later. Do you want to buy anything? If not, I'll go back."
"There's nothing to buy, come back early!"
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Wei put on his helmet. The two girls were already sitting in the back seat of his car.
This time, Liu Zhiyi sat in the middle.
She hugged Fang Wei's waist, and Cai Ling hugged her waist.
Two heads wearing helmets leaned forward and asked curiously, "Did your acceptance letter arrive?!"
"Yes, I'll go get the notice later."
"Then what about ours?!"
"They are all from No. 1 Middle School. They should be here by now."
"Go, go, go!"
Chu tu tu tu——
The motorcycle carrying three people, bathed in the golden sunset, leisurely passed through the streets and alleys towards the pier.
