Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

Chapter 168 Variety Show Migrant Worker Father 8

"What? Naked marriage? How can that be possible?

"Xiao En is an ignorant child. Times have changed. It is understandable that he doesn't have a car or a dowry, but how can he succeed without a house?"

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan exclaimed exaggeratedly and waved his hands in disapproval, his acting was as awkward as ever.

However, Dong Erjie's eyes lit up when she heard this. She keenly caught the explosive point in the words and immediately took advantage of the situation.

"Uncle Jing, do you mean that this house is the new wedding house you built for Jing Shang?

But Jing Shang and Su Mingyue both work in big cities. After they get married, won’t they still have to rent a house?

So, strictly speaking, this can't be considered a wedding house, right?"

Seeing the girl in front of him, her expression was a little subtle, but Lieutenant General Jing Yuan smiled heartily and didn't care at all.

"Hey, Xiao Dong, don't be embarrassed, I understand the reason.

I usually live in this house, it's just a retirement home.

As for the wedding house, we must buy one near where our two children work."

Seeing that Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was talking big so easily, Second Sister Dong was afraid that he might not understand the market situation, so she quickly reminded him tactfully.

"Uncle Jing, you don't know that the current house price in the main urban area of ​​N City is more than 4 yuan per square meter.

To buy a two-bedroom apartment of more than 70 square meters would cost nearly 300 million!

Even if the down payment is only 90%, it will still cost more than yuan.

Jing Shang and Su Mingyue have just graduated and want to buy a house. If they don’t have family support, they may not be able to afford the down payment in five or six years with just their salaries. "

“Alas, it’s not easy for young people nowadays!

Work, marriage, having children, education, etc., are all stressful.

I am just an ordinary father. When my children get married and want to buy a house, I must support them."

Seeing that Lieutenant General Jing Yuan spoke so firmly, Dong Erjie was very understanding and immediately responded, asking a series of questions like firecrackers.

These are the questions that countless viewers in the live broadcast room are curious about.

“Uncle Jing, I understand that you have been working on the construction site for these years, so you must have saved a lot of money.

This European-style country villa is beautifully built and elegantly decorated.

I really like it when I see it. I also want to build one in my hometown.

Excuse me, how much did it cost to build this house?

Also, do you have enough money now?

If your son buys a house, how much money will you support him with?

I believe that the audience in the live broadcast room, like me, are very eager to know the answers to the above questions. "

"Well, I'm ashamed to say that I'm already old, but I've only saved nearly 400,000 yuan. After building this house and renovating it, I don't have much left."

"what?

So are you planning to lend money to your children to buy a house?

Does Jing Sheng know about your plan?"

"How can I borrow money if I say that?

It’s okay to borrow 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

These days, unless it’s usury, who would dare to lend you one or two million?”

Sister Dong's words were as sharp as ever:

"So, you don't have any money, and you don't plan to borrow money, but you want to buy a wedding house for your son. Do you want the girl's family to pay for it?"

After these words were spoken, everyone at the scene looked at Lieutenant General Jing Yuan with strange eyes!

The comments in the live broadcast room were more straightforward, with the screen full of "excellent father-in-law, Phoenix man, advising separation."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan raised her eyebrows. Her strong sixth sense told her that there was definitely a trap hidden in these words.

So I didn't dare to answer this question directly, but instead said what was in my heart:

“Now men and women are equal, and marriage and other things are different from the old days.

Housing prices in big cities are high, so it is very common for parents from both sides to jointly contribute money to give their children a down payment, and then they repay the mortgage themselves after marriage. The property certificate will be written in the names of both children.

In addition, the provisions of my country's Marriage Law on property division are relatively clear.

Xiao En is a good kid. Like me, he will never do anything stupid like using marriage to defraud the woman of her property.

Of course, I heard that Xiaoyue has a younger brother, and the traditional marriage customs are there, which puts even more pressure on her parents.

Even at this point, they still agreed to not ask for a house, a car, or a dowry, and let the two children get married without any possession. I was so grateful in my heart.

I can pay the entire down payment, and the property certificate will still be in the names of both children.

Just think of it as a betrothal gift, and also as a guarantee for Xiaoyue!"

"You pay? Where do you get the money?"

Dong Erjie was so shocked that she shouted out what was in her heart.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him with their eyes wide open, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan did not keep anyone in suspense. Instead, his face became serious, he let out a long sigh, and in a deep voice, he began his performance.

"Oh... I'm so ashamed!

It’s all because of the unfilial descendants in later generations!

My son is getting married soon, but I can’t even afford the down payment, let alone buying a house for him.

Oh, how shameful!

We have no choice but to sell off the wealth accumulated by our ancestors for generations."

hiss!

The reversal came so quickly that there was a gasp in the audience.

Where is the small town test-taker, the Phoenix man who flew out of the poor mountain village?

After all this time, could it be that Jing Shang is actually the stupid son of a landlord?

I lived frugally and saved money to marry a wife, and I was so poor that I almost had to eat dirt. Then my old father slapped his thigh and said, "I don't have money, but my ancestors did. It's just a wedding house. I'll buy it for you."

I'm in a big trough!

Even more ridiculous than those melodramatic eight o'clock TV dramas.

The number of people online in the live broadcast room directly soared to first place.

Sister Dong was the first to react and exclaimed, her voice full of disbelief:

"what?

Uncle Jing, do you mean that your family has heirlooms or antiques?"

"Why, that's not really the case. Just some gold and silver, that's all.

Everyone in the village knows that I was born in 74 and that my parents were of bad background.

He suffered a lot when he was young and died very early.

My father was the son of a landlord, and my mother was a daughter of a wealthy family in the city.

It's a special period, so hey, everyone understands.

It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. There were indeed some things hidden in the house that were not looted.

The situation was tense before, so I didn’t dare to spend it.

The year Xiao En's mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer, they originally planned to dig it out and exchange it for money for her treatment.

Well, you know, in that era, cancer was a bottomless pit.

Xiao En's mother was afraid of becoming a burden to the family and then losing both her money and her life, so she drank the pesticide.

My heart feels as bitter as if it were soaked in Coptis chinensis.

I didn't go digging for that thing, nor did I have the time to see what was there.

Over the years, I have been working on construction sites and earning some hard-earned money.

Isn’t it that Xiao En is dating his girlfriend and is getting married?

How can it be possible without a house?

A house has to be built at home, and a house has to be bought in the city.

Otherwise, how can the family who loves their daughter be confident in handing her over to you?

I raised my daughter with great difficulty and pampered her, not just to let her marry a poor boy and suffer.

Not only do you have to suffer yourself, but you also make your parents suffer as well.

So, taking this opportunity, I dug the things out.

Now that everyone is rich and their horizons have broadened, almost all the young people in the village have bought houses in the city.

A very wealthy man even emerged in the next village.

I don’t think anyone would risk murder or arson for such a small thing.”

Sister Dong's eyes were filled with tears of envy. She wanted to call back immediately to ask her parents if there were any antiques passed down in the family.

If there was, she would definitely go to appraise the treasure first.

Now that you have money, who would still want to be a low-level office worker working 996?

He sniffed and made the request somewhat sheepishly.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Uncle Jing, can you take it out and let everyone see it so that we can learn more?

If you really want to exchange money, I believe the program crew will not be stingy and will help you make connections?

If the production team is not happy, there are still millions of netizens watching the show. "

The reminder in the headset sounded at the right time.

"Hey, Uncle Jing, I have good news for you.

There are nearly 20 million people watching our live broadcast room online now.

If you really have something good, you will definitely have no trouble selling it."

This is Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's purpose, so there is no reason for him not to respond.

"Okay, do whatever you want, I'll go move the things now."

After saying this, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan stood up and left the living room. After a while, he laboriously carried a wooden box over and placed it carefully on the table.

"This box is made of golden nanmu wood. It's really heavy."

"Wow! The carving on this box is so beautiful!

Uncle Jing, you are right, right?

Is it really made of golden nanmu?

With this kind of workmanship, if it were a few years old, my god, it would be very valuable.

Wow, I don’t even dare to touch it.

If it is really an antique, this box alone would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it is worth more, maybe even enough for a down payment.

Otherwise, let's go and appraise the treasure!"

This time, Dong Erjie was really jealous and she shed tears. Her hands were tracing the delicate carvings on the edge of the box.

I dare not touch it at all.

She was afraid that if someone accidentally touched it, it would be damaged, and she wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation even if she sold it.

"Don't you want to see what's in there?"

As Lieutenant General Jing Yuan said this, he squatted down and prepared to unlock the door.

Well, it’s still a wooden combination lock!

No matter how many times I see our ancestors’ mechanical technology, I am always impressed!
