Su Danhong naturally did not know what happened at Lao Ji's ho.
After Mother Ji went back, Su Danhong returned to being busy in the kitchen. Ji Jianyun could stay until the fifth day of the year. After that, he would have to leave and could not stay for a few more days.
Thus, she wanted to make him more food. There was so much at in the house. If he didn’t eat it, then it would be given to Xiao Hei since she didn’t eat a lot of food.
Ji Jianyun ca back after he finished making the phone call and slled the food.
When he went to the kitchen, he saw his wife making him sothing to eat.
“You’re back?” Su Danhong smiled.
“What delicious food have you made?” Ji Jianyun smiled back.
“Red braised pork1, mutton soup2, beef stew with radish3, and fried ribs4.” Su Danhong glanced at him. “It’s all your favorite food.”
Ji Jianyun smiled and told her about the things regarding the fruit trees. “I talked to Lao Qin, and he is still selling saplings. He promised that he would drive over soon. I ordered a lot of fruit trees from him.”
“Did you order everything I ntioned?” Su Danhong asked.
“Yes, Lao Qin is very cheap, and the saplings will be good,” Ji Jianyun replied and nodded. “It will be delivered at the beginning of the spring.”
“Okay.” Su Danhong nodded and continued to fry the atballs. Her Jianyun really deserved to be a soldier. He ate almost as much as two or three ordinary n.
Ji Jianyun hesitated for a mont and then said, “Honey, but this will cost a lot of money.”
“Didn’t I say it to you before? I have a lot of money at ho. If you don't believe , go and have a look in the cabinet. It should be about 1,000 yuan, and that should be enough.” Su Danhong was not particularly serious.
If there was money available to use, then it should be used. She didn’t plan on buying the mountain and planting the fruit trees. She was going to buy an apartnt in Jiangshui City with sister Hong after the New Year when Ji Jianyun went back to work.
Jiangshui City was not far away. There was a private van5 that went back and forth twice a day. Naturally, this was due to the fact that sister Hong was familiar with Jiangshui City.
However, buying an apartnt could only be put off right now. Let's start with the orchard first.
Ji Jianyun smiled and never ntioned it again.
Ti passed quickly, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During the New Year, the couple also visited the Lao Su family and ca back after a al. In the past few days, they had been intimate together, which Mother Ji liked and thought: Who knows, maybe Danhong will bear a child after the New Year?
When Ji Jianyun went back, he had put on at least five jin. His face was beaming in good spirits. Everyone knew with one glance that he had a good New Year.
“Jianyun, do you want to take up this mission? If you complete it, then not only will you be recorded for the rit, but you will also be paid 50 yuan.” The leader told him this when he ca to check in.
Ji Jianyun hesitated for a mont and said in a deep voice, “I’ll do it!”
…
On Su Danhong’s side.
Ji Jianyun left and now there was only one person at ho. It took her two days to regain her spirits.
She began to embroider “A Hundred Birds Paying Respect to the Phoenix”, because she had nothing to do all day besides embroidering. She finished embroidering “A Hundred Birds Paying Respect to the Phoenix” in seven days.
She took advantage of the sunny day and took her embroidery work to town.
Sister Hong was very surprised at her arrival, and saw her take out “A Hundred Birds Paying Respect to the Phoenix”. Sister Hong’s eyes widened at the glistening phoenix. “Danhong, is there anything you can’t embroider?”
Su Danhong smiled and said, “Sister Hong praises too much.”
Zhen Miaohong shook her head and looked at the design several tis before she reluctantly put it away. Then, she asked, “izi, do you have a price in mind?”
“It took a lot of ti and effort to embroider this design, so my price is 1,300,” Su Danhong said. It was actually about 1,100, but 200 more was really fine.
Zhen Miaohong was shocked. The price was obviously a little higher than what she expected. However, she gritted her teeth and said, “Fine!”
“Thank you so much, sister Hong,” Su Danhong nodded and said.
Zhen Miaohong counted 13 one hundred yuan bills for her. “Danhong, you count.”
“Okay.” Su Danhong counted it and then nodded.
Zhen Miaohong said, “Did you think about buying an apartnt when I told you about it last ti, Danhong? The apartnt in that neighborhood is really good, and I, sister Hong, am going to buy one.”
She had thought about it, but with her east wind6, she was surprised by the nice profit she made. It was almost enough to buy an apartnt.
Now that she had “A Hundred Birds Paying Respect to the Phoenix”, if she used the money freely, then she could still save at least 4-500 yuan!
Su Danhong hesitated for a mont and then asked, “How much is an apartnt over there?”
She really wanted to buy one.
“It depends on the size. There are 80 square ters, 95 square ters, and the largest is 108 square ters. It has three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, one bathroom and one balcony,” Sister Hong explained. “I plan on getting 108 square ters.”
“That one is more than 2,000 yuan, isn't it?” Su Danhong was shocked and asked.
Sister Hong smiled and whispered, “The manager who is selling the apartnt is my younger cousin. If I buy one, then I can save more than 200 yuan. But I’m only telling you this, Danhong. I won’t tell anyone else.”
Su Danhong nodded. “I know sister Hong takes care of , but I don't have a lot of money now.”
Sister Hong was confused. “You should have enough. Do you want to buy the 108 square feet one?”
“Sothing happened at ho, so I took the money to use as an ergency,” Su Danhong briefly explained.
Sister Hong knew that every family had their own difficulties, so she didn't ask any more questions. She hesitated for a mont, and said, “How much do you need? I still have 500 yuan here. I can lend it to you to buy this apartnt first. My cousin said that it is in a key neighborhood in Jiangshui City. The house price will definitely rise, and there is absolutely nothing to lose if you buy it!”
Su Danhong shook her head. “I don't know how much it will cost to buy it. Sister Hong, tell the exact number. I'll go back and have a look. If I don’t have enough, then I'll borrow so from my parents. You're in a hurry to buy a place for yourself, so you don’t need to lend money.”
“I already discussed it with my cousin. You and I have the sa price. It’s about 2,200, but it was originally about 2,400. My cousin gave the internal price,” Zhen Miaohong said with a smile.
Su Danhong hesitated and then said, “I can do that. Sister Hong, when you are free, I'll go with you!”
Zhen Miaohong thought for a mont and said, “Tomorrow then. My cousin is also urging to buy it as soon as possible. It might not be cheap when spring cos.”
“Okay!” Su Danhong nodded in response.
If it was about 2,200, then she could still take the money out for it. However, her savings would be almost empty. She would have to take advantage of the ti before the snow lted to make more embroidery, otherwise, she would have no money to pay for the saplings.
Early the next morning, Su Danhong got Xiao Hei a big bowl of food to eat. She instructed him to take care of the ho and went out.
Zhen Miaohong was waiting for her.
“I thought you forgot about the ti and it almost scared ,” Zhen Miaohong said with a smile. It was almost five minutes before the van left.
“It was a bit far. I made sister Hong wait a long ti,” Su Danhong giggled.
“What do you an? It’s fine as long as there’s still ti,” Zhen Miaohong said.
The two won excitedly went to Jiangshui City by van.
