Chapter 159 - 159

Chapter 159 The Shop"Dad, we're afraid we won't have enough room in our house anymore. If we have some extra money, we could look into buying a suitable house.""Your brother is waiting in line for his room!"Mother Yun said from the side.Yun Xu was unusually quiet, listening attentively. How did his second sister, who also studied atCapital City, know so much?"Anyway, it's a sure thing to buy it. Even if you don't live there, the housing prices will only keep going up and down."Yun Ting stopped there; it's not appropriate to say too much now. We need to give them time to accept and process what they've said.Father Yun seemed thoughtful. He trusted his daughter and would go see her another day.As for Yun Zhao, his mother-in-law brought up the topic of a second child today, but she didn't pressure them; she just suggested they have another one."Mom has been through this before. Having another child will give them more companionship. Don't worry about not being able to take care of them. Mom can still move around now. When the children start school, Mom and Dad can also help out a little. Just have a peaceful birth."Liang Dan's eyes were red, and she felt very guilty. She knew that her parents only had her as their daughter, and that she was married. They sometimes felt lonely at home, so they didn't want her to be like that in the future. That's why they did their best to help her."Mom, we can raise Child ourselves. You and Dad have worked hard your whole lives, it's time to rest and stop worrying about us.""Yes, Mom. If we get pregnant, we'll have the baby. My mom is retiring next year, and she can help take care of the child.""Just keep it in mind."When the older brother and his family returned, they found that their younger sister and her family of four had already gone home. They were puzzled, as their younger sister always stayed out quite late before returning. So they asked, "Did the older sister go home?""Yes, she's pregnant again, so we told them to go home early.""Really? That's wonderful!" Liang Dan replied with a smile."Yes! We just don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Look at Xiao Shu and her husband, they're hoping for a daughter.""Anyway, boys and girls are the same, but if it's a girl, then you'll have both a son and a daughter.""Yes! Dandan, are you and your eldest son still planning to have children? I'm not pressuring you, I'm just asking.""If you're pregnant, then have the baby!""Okay, Mom will retire next year too. If she gets pregnant, she can lend a hand."My mom brought this up today too, let's just let things take their course!"Hey, your mom and I will take care of her together, so she won't be bored at home alone.""Thank you, Mom."Liang Dan knew that her mother-in-law was being considerate of her mother's feelings and wouldn't prevent in-laws from getting close just because she was retired."Hey, we're family, no need for thanks."...They were going back to Capital City on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Before leaving,Yun Ting went to see her sister again and brought up the matter of buying a house. She told her brother-in-law that if there were suitable shops, they could buy them. Even if they didn't do business in the future, they could still make a profit by renting them out.Jiang Dong, who works in procurement, travels all over the place and is quick-witted. He understood the point as soon as Yun Tingmentioned it.The housing prices in their county town are probably not that expensive now.It was only about ten days before I returned, and time flew by. Soon it was the sixth day of the new year.Early in the morning, before dawn, Mother Yungot up and busied herself preparing food for her son and daughter. Truly, the hearts of parents are full of love and worry.My family members don't start work until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so that morning, after breakfast, the whole family went to see the three siblings off."Oh dear! Mom, Dad, sister-in-law, I already told you, you don't all need to come and deliver it. It's so cold today, and our little girl will get cold.""Auntie, I'm not cold at all," the little girl,bundled up like a little mummy, said sweetly."Good girl, stay home and behave well, study hard, and next time your aunt comes back, I'll bring you delicious food and pretty clothes.""Really? You're not kidding me.""When have I ever lied to you? Don't believe me? Let's make a pinky promise."The little girl quickly pulled off her gloves, revealing her tiny fingers, and made a pinky promise with Yun Ting."Alright, Auntie is about to enter the station.Little girl, quickly say goodbye to your second uncle, aunt, and uncle."After giving them all the necessary instructions, the three siblings went to the station and boarded the train. Looking back, they could still see their family members standing there, watching them."Ugh, I hate farewell scenes the most...""Life is like this; as we grow up, we keep striving and experience countless partings."Yun Huai was used to it and didn't feel much emotion.The train journey was peaceful; she either read a book or slept. The two days passed quickly. Upon arriving in Capital City, Yun Ting first went back to her courtyard.She didn't start school until the tenth day of the lunar month, while Yun Huai The Yun and Xubrothers are starting school tomorrow, the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, so they went straight back to school.She quickly cleaned up the mess, then took some rice cakes made by her mother and rode her bicycle to find Yang Qingqing.Unexpectedly, Yang Qingqing was not there; she had disappeared. He left her a note asking her to come to her place when she returned.Since she was already out, she wasn't in a hurry to go back. Instead, she rode her bicycle to the housing management bureau to find the lady who had asked her to keep an eye out forTraditional courtyard residences when she bought the small courtyard last time.Just then, she was there when I arrived. I was a little surprised to see her. " Little Sister, you're here? I asked you to keep an eye on that matter, but I haven't heard back! That's why I didn't come looking for you.""It's nothing, sis. I have something else to ask you about today. Could you help me see if there are any shops or anything along the street?"The older woman smiled and pulled a yellowed blueprint from the drawer, pointing to the bottom two lines: "What a coincidence, two rooms were just cleared out yesterday, right next to the Nantou vegetable market. You'll definitely be satisfied with the location."Yun Ting leaned closer to take a look and saw that the location marked by the red circle on the map was the busiest street corner at the moment."Come on, I'll take you there now, you'll be absolutely satisfied." He said, standing up and taking the keys.Yun Ting quickly followed, and the two of them arrived in just a few minutes on their bicycles.The two shops are right next to each other, and the doors and windows are intact.Sister Zhang opened the door and led her inside. The interior was square and neat, and even the walls were painted white."How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?""Yes, yes, of course I belong to Sister Xin."Before she could think it over, Sister Zhangpatted her arm: "There are a lot of people vying for this position. If you think it's suitable, I'll get the paperwork done for you right away."Yun Ting immediately nodded, "Yes, I want both."Sister Zhang then led Yun Ting to stand in front of the shop and measured it with her feet: "These two shops are about the same size, each about fifteen or sixteen square meters, about four meters deep and more than three meters wide, together they are exactly thirty square meters."As she spoke, she pushed open the wooden door of one of the rooms. The room was square and could fit two square tables, plus a small storage corner with room to spare. "Look at this space," she said, "there's room to put goods in the front and a small counter in the back. Two people can turn around without feeling cramped."Yun Ting thought to herself that this shop would be good for selling clothes in the future.Sister Zhang led Yun Ting back to the Housing Management Bureau, and while flipping through the files, she muttered, "This location is good, but they are all old shops, so the prices aren't high. Each shop is 15 or 16 square meters, and at 35 yuan per square meter, that's 520 yuan per shop. I'll round it up to 1040 yuan for both shops.""Sister, can't it be any less?"
