Xu Shiyan wanted to invite Jin Liu to dinner, but Jin Liu felt that he hadn't done anything for him, so he was embarrassed to have this meal.
So he took Xu Shiyan and the three of them to look at several houses from east to west.
There is a small courtyard with two entrances, which is similar to the current one of the Xu family.
There is also a house with three entrances, which is quite similar to that of the Guan family.
There is also a courtyard with four entrances, five main rooms and side rooms, covering a very large and spacious area.
However, these houses also have their own shortcomings, some of which are in average locations, and some of which are slightly older.
Especially the four-entry courtyard, which is a little dilapidated. If it is obtained, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to repair it.
Of course, this house is old, and the price is also low. The owner’s main price is only a few hundred thousand, which is much cheaper than the Guan family’s house.
Xu Shiyan and his wife have seen so many, and they are a bit dazzled. They don't know which one to choose.
The main reason is that Xu Shiyan has scruples in his heart, and he is worried that he will have to dismantle it after two years after buying it.
As for demolition, the sooner the demolition, the less cost-effective it is. In the early days, it was calculated according to the population, or even the original household registration.
None of them have registered permanent residence in the capital, so it would definitely not be cost-effective to demolish them in the past few years.
Besides, they bought it and didn't rush to dismantle it. It's better to keep it.
"Mr. Jin, that's it, we saw this today, it's getting late, let's find a place to eat first.
Looking back, our family has a good discussion. Tomorrow afternoon, let's go to see the house and discuss the price. What do you think? "
With such a delay, it will be six o'clock.
Xu Shiyan, can he let others continue to lead them to look around the house? Find a place to eat quickly.
Jin Liu saw that Xu Shiyan sincerely wanted to invite him to dinner, so it was hard to refuse.
Xu Shiyan didn't know where to eat in this capital, so he remembered those places that are more famous in later generations.
It is estimated that at this time, it will not become a place for bluffing like in later generations.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, I happened to bring my family over to have a meal, and it was not a waste of a visit to the capital.
Jin Liu laughed when he heard what Xu Shiyan said.
"No, no, Mr. Xu doesn't need to be too troublesome, just find a restaurant nearby."
As he spoke, he pointed forward casually, "There is a restaurant not far ahead, and the food there is quite authentic."
Jin Liu said so, Xu Shiyan couldn't insist anymore, so everyone went to the place Jin Liu pointed out.
This restaurant is neither big nor small, and the inside is quite clean. It is a restaurant, and there are many customers in the restaurant.
Jin Liu should be quite familiar with the owner of the store. After entering the door and greeting him, the other party arranged a good seat for them to sit down.
"Brother-in-law, this place is not far from our house.
It’s about this time, do you want to pick up the children, or order food for them to send back.
Anzhen didn't get off work until after eight in the evening, and no one went back to cook for the children. "
As soon as he sat down, before ordering food, Nan Zhendong asked.
"Then take it, talk to the shop owner later, and leave us a table, then let the children eat alone at the table."
Xu Shiyan took a look, this is a little bit, and it is true, I don’t know what those children are doing at home.
If they were at home, the two daughters would have to cook.
Now in other places, the children don’t even know where the vegetable market is, so it’s hard to arrange dinner.
He just took it, and it's easy to eat together.
"Okay, then I'll go back and pick up the kids."
Nan Zhendong nodded towards Jin Liu, "Old Jin, that, I'll go back to pick up the kids first, let's have a few drinks later."
After speaking, Nan Zhendong hurried out and drove home to pick up the children.
He doesn't drive a car, but a van, which is convenient for carrying goods.
It’s just right, there are seven children in the family, and they can sit and drive.
This side belongs to the West City, and it is quite close to the small courtyard of Xu's family. Nan Zhendong took all seven children here by driving back and forth in less than half an hour.
When the children arrived, the dishes started to be served one after another.
Su Anying saw the children coming, so she moved to the children's table.
She doesn't drink, so it would be more convenient for Xu Shiyan, Nan Zhendong, and Jin Liu to sit at the same table.
When the food was ready, Xu Shiyan poured wine for Jin Liu, and the three people over there pushed and changed glasses, chatting while drinking, mostly talking about the house.
Jin Liu helped analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each of the houses I saw today.
"Mom, you and my dad still want to buy a house in the capital?"
Xu Haiyuan listened twice, and probably understood that he and his parents planned to buy a few more houses.
"Well, your dad said, after all, this is the capital, a big city, and the house will definitely be worth a lot in the future.
What he meant was to buy a few more sets and leave one set for each of you.
In the future, if you can be admitted to a university in the capital and come to study and work, it will be more convenient for us to have a house of our own. "
Su Anying nodded, and told her husband's rhetoric to her children.
"Oh, that would be fine."
Xu Haiyuan nodded, thinking that his father is pretty reliable, he has a good eye and knows how to buy a house in the capital.
"Mom, what houses have you all looked at? Tell me about it?" Xu Haiyuan asked tentatively.
There is nothing to hide, so Su Anying told her son the details of the houses they looked at this afternoon.
Xu Haiyuan is fourteen years old this year. Anyway, Xu Shiyan and his wife never treated him as a child.
He never avoids important family matters, and sometimes he even asks his elder son for advice.
Xu Haiyuan listened patiently to his mother's narration, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Mom, the house was bought for the four of us, right? Can I choose?"
Su Anying froze for a moment, then laughed.
"Are you interested in buying a house again?
It’s okay, then when we go to see the house tomorrow, you will follow? "
Xu Haiyuan is the eldest son of Xu, and Xu Shiyan and his wife also have high hopes for their eldest son.
Judging from the current situation, everything in the Xu family will probably have to be handed over to the eldest son in the future, and the other three seem to be enough.
Since you have to turn over shifts sooner or later, it is better to exercise earlier.
Waiting for Xu Haiyuan to graduate from university, the couple can let go and enjoy the happiness.
"Well, okay, then I'll go and have a look with you tomorrow." Xu Haiyuan nodded seriously.
Buying a house in the capital is a big deal. The knowledge here is getting bigger, so it’s better to look at it yourself and rest assured.
The mother and son were talking about buying a house while eating, but Xu Haiqing and the others on the other side didn’t seem to hear it. They didn’t care about what they should eat or drink.
Su Anying and the others don't drink alcohol, and there are many children, so of course they eat quickly.
Half an hour later, the children were full and sat lazily on their chairs.
Seeing this, Su Anying went to talk to Xu Shiyan, and she took the children home first.
"Do you know how to go back? Don't go astray." Xu Shiyan asked uneasy.
"I know, Xiaoming and Xiaoliang know the way.
Besides, there is still a mouth under the nose, and I can’t find it. Can’t I ask someone about it?
I still remember where my home is. "
Su Anying smiled, and just led the children out of the restaurant, walking all the way back.
The children looked around on the road, and they were surprised by everything they saw.
Thanks to Xu Haiyuan being in charge, Xu Haiqing was crazy and ran around.
With Nan Xiaoming and Nan Xiaoliang leading the way, the group finally returned to Xu's small courtyard smoothly.
Nan Zhendong's house is not too far from Xu's courtyard.
But Nan Xiaoming and Nan Xiaoliang refused to go back to sleep at home. They had to stay here and live with Xu Haiqing and the others.
Fortunately, after Su Anying came over, she went to buy a lot of bedding, luggage and other things, which was enough.
So, Nan Xiaoming and Nan Xiaoliang followed Xu Haiqing to live in the south room of the east wing, and Xu Haiyuan and Yang Haoyu lived in the north room of the east wing.
As for sister Xu Jinping and Xu Jinhui, she lives in the main house with her parents.
Girls and children, they are timid, and their parents are worried, so they must live nearby and take care of them.
Because he made an appointment to go to the square to watch the national flag raising the next day, so Xu Shiyan came back without drinking too late.
Early in the morning on the 15th, it was still dark outside, and the children were dug out from the bed by Su Anying.
After a little freshening up and tidying up, the whole family headed towards Tiananmen Square.
Thanks to the good location of Xu's courtyard, it's not too far away.
The children walked without any fear at all, jogging and jogging all the way, and they arrived at the place without feeling anything.
There were a lot of people watching the flag raising in the morning. Xu Shiyan's family followed in the footsteps of the crowd, came to the square, found a suitable place, and waited for the flag raising.
"Wow, this place is so big, there are so many people."
Xu Haiqing felt that his eyes were not good enough, and he felt so novel when he looked at everything around him.
"Big Brother, Second Sister, is that Tiananmen Square to the east? Wow, I saw Tiananmen Square."
Xu Jinhui looked at the buildings in the distance with excitement.
However, this little girl doesn't have a good sense of direction, and now she has turned a little bit, and she doesn't know where Tiananmen Square is.
Xu Haiqing covered his face helplessly, "Fourth sister, that's north.
Even if I haven’t been to the capital, I know that Tiananmen Square faces south. This is your first time in a big city. Have you turned around? "
It may be innate. Generally speaking, girls have a poorer sense of direction than boys.
Although Xu Haiqing doesn’t have much of a regular life, he has an excellent sense of direction. He can tell the direction even when he is in a strange place, and he can remember the road after walking it once.
Xu Jinhui couldn't do it anymore. When she was walking back last night, she was a little confused and didn't know where to go.
"Oh, yes, why did I forget. I just looked at Xiangdong over there."
Xu Jinhui smiled embarrassedly, and told her instinctively that it was Dong over there, who knew it was wrong.
While the children were talking, the flag raiser had already walked over holding the bright five-star red flag, and the scene was instantly silent.
Facing the rising sun, accompanied by the majestic and majestic national anthem, the five-star red flag rose slowly under the attention of everyone.
Everyone raised their heads and stared at the red flag. Their eyes followed the rise of the red flag, and they sang the national anthem unconsciously.
The children all looked solemn and serious, with firm eyes.
Even Xu Haiqing, who was joking and not serious on weekdays, seemed to have been completely reborn at this moment, and his whole person was different.
Watching the national flag raising in Tiananmen Square, and raising the national flag with children at school are definitely two different experiences.
The spiritual shock is more direct and the feeling is deeper.
So, when the flag-raising ceremony was over, Xu Shiyan felt that the eyes of the children seemed to have a different feeling.
After watching the flag raising, I led the children to find a place to have breakfast nearby.
After breakfast, Xu Shiyan took the children to walk around here and take a few more photos.
Wait until the Forbidden City starts selling tickets, just buy a ticket to visit.
Although it is only the early 1990s, the tourism industry may not have risen in other places, but there are indeed a lot of tourists in the capital.
Xu Shiyan and Su Anying took seven children and walked in with the crowd, and told the children not to run around, but to follow the adults closely.
There are majestic and majestic halls in front of you, solemn and solemn. It is the first time for the children to see this kind of building, and they seem to be a little cautious while being novel.
"Second sister, is this the place where the emperor used to live?"
Yang Haoyu followed closely beside Xu Jinping, dragging Xu Jinping, for fear that his second sister would be squeezed out.
Arriving at the Forbidden City, Xu Jinping came to her senses and began to tell her brothers and sisters about the three halls of the Forbidden City, the East and West Six Palaces, and some stories about the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
At the beginning, the Xu family members were listening.
Going to the back, maybe the tourists who came in together, after hearing what the little girl said, they all followed, listening as they walked.
Many people around listened to Xu Jinping's explanation with their ears pricked up. Xu Jinping was not stage-frightened, and talked about it wherever she went.
Xu Shiyan followed behind, shaking his head as he walked.
Some people may have such a talent.
In her previous life, the eldest daughter went to take the test for a tour guide certificate to become a tour guide in order to make a living. She led a group all day long and talked about it wherever she went.
I didn't expect that I would have this potential in my teens in this life.
I have to say that the two elders in the family have a wide range of knowledge.
To be honest, Xu Shiyan didn't understand most of what the eldest daughter said, and he didn't know where the child saw it.
People can not only remember it after seeing it, but also tell it, which is quite convincing.
Xu Jinping walked and talked, and Xu Shiyan took a camera and took pictures of his wife and children.
After taking a few photos, Xu Haiyuan took the camera over.
"Dad, you stand with my mother, come, I will take a picture for you two."
The son kindly wanted to take pictures of his parents, Xu Shiyan, why not hurry?
So he gave the camera to his son, and the couple found the scenery they liked, or Xu Shiyan hugged Su Anying's shoulder, or Su Anying held Xu Shiyan's arm, and the two took several photos together.
After that, Xu Shiyan never touched the camera again, and Xu Haiyuan took pictures of everyone throughout the whole process.
The Forbidden City is too big, even if it is only partially open now, Xu Shiyan and the others can't go shopping much in the morning, they just took a look at some of the main palaces.
Even so, by noon, everyone was very tired.
Coming out of the Forbidden City, everyone was tired and hungry.
At this time, don’t think about going home to cook and eat. It’s serious to find a place to eat and fill your stomach quickly.
Originally Xu Shiyan wanted to take the children to eat roast duck, but at this time, everyone was so hungry that their eyes turned green.
If you have to wait for a seat there, how can the children bear it?
Anyway, they will stay in the capital for a few more days, so they can eat at any time.
Just like that, the group casually inquired about a nearby place to eat, and went straight there.
Finally found a restaurant with few people, so I quickly ordered food.
After lunch, the couple sent the children back to the small courtyard to rest, and then they planned to go to Jin Liu again and continue to look at the house.
"Dad, I'll go with you, I told my mother last night." Xu Haiyuan said hastily.
Xu Shiyan fell asleep when he came back last night, and Su Anying didn't have time to mention it to him.
Woke up early this morning, watching the flag raising, and visiting the Forbidden City, Su Anying forgot about this.
When Xu Haiyuan mentioned it, Su Anying suddenly remembered. Yes, I promised my son last night.
"Yes, yes, yesterday my son told me that he would accompany us to see the house."
Xu Shiyan glanced at Da'er, "Okay, if you're not tired, then come together."
