Chapter 27: Moving to a new house

Song Yanxi's nine-grid post had just gone up.

Her friends, who loved sharing pictures of delicious food and travel on social media, immediately blew up.

Du Juan: "Oh my God, is this the new house your family bought?"

Yang Dan: "...You bought a villa?"

An'an's classmate's mother: "This house is so beautiful, is it in Capital City? How much did it cost?"

It wasn't just these friends; even Song Wu, who was far away at a reunion at the 3rd Ring Road KTV, was like a hedgehog with its quills up.

"Sis, you bought a house, how much was the down payment, how big is it, and why does this house look so much like a villa?"

And not to mention her, even Liu Fen, who was manually shuffling tiles at a mahjong parlor, had now tossed aside her self-drawn straight flush.

Mostly because she had gotten quite a few calls, from Song Huamin and from her youngest daughter as well.

Something big must have happened at home, and she needed to rush back immediately to take charge.

By the time she got home, both Song Huamin and Song Wu had returned, and both wanted to rush to Beixin'an as soon as possible.

If they didn't know that Song Yanxi was not the type to show off, they would have thought it was a joke.

They knew her family was planning to buy a house, and they also knew her family could afford it.

But they had no idea her family could afford such a big villa.

This was in Capital City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

"Mom, that house of sis', it's got to be at least 300 square meters, right?"

"Definitely more, just the layout of the first floor is at least 200 square meters, and it has a second floor as well as a loft on the top. I think it's got to be over 500 square meters."

"500 square meters, oh my, wouldn't that be at least ten million at the base price?"

Song Wu was astonished, "How much of a down payment do you think sis made? The mortgage for the house might also be over ten million, right?"

"Probably two or three tenths."

Liu Fen could hardly contain her excitement, wishing she were driving not a small Volkswagen but a private jet.

It would be great to just fly over in a snap.

The handover of the house was not that complicated, mainly because the real estate sales company Zhang Yan worked for was very formal.

Specializing in the sale of second-hand luxury houses in Capital City.

If it's a full payment, there's no need to go through bank loans, mainly just handling the transfer procedures.

Chen Pingsheng could go with them to take care of it, leaving Song Yanxi behind to sort things out.

Newly purchased houses definitely need their locks changed, and there's no need to alter the interior design.

The previous owner of this villa was also someone very particular, and all the decoration was contracted to a design company.

By the time Liu Fen and the others arrived, they were almost blinded by the splendor.

These rows and rows of detached villas, along with the pleasant greenery, if she could live inside this place,

she would truly consider her life well-lived.

"My dear, is this really the house your family bought?"

The house was so big you could run a marathon in it, of course, that's just limited to an elderly athlete like her.

Liu Fen had taken a tour as soon as she came in, and it was just too beautiful.

Two rooms for the elderly on the first floor.

On the second floor, one children's room and one super master bedroom with a terrace.

Sitting there enjoying an afternoon tea without a care in the world, that 'Small Day' really couldn't get more comfortable.

There's also a separate study, walk-in wardrobe, and an especially cozy second bedroom.

Then moving up to the attic.

The whole house was very modern in design, with a total of seven rooms.

"Look at this big kitchen, cooking here is simply a pleasure."

Liu Fen went in and touched the exquisite marble countertop, able to enjoy the view outside through the side window while cooking.

Feeling great.

"My dear, how much of a down payment did you make?"

She was so mesmerized by the house that she almost forgot to ask the most important question.

"No down payment, Pingsheng paid in full."

"Full payment?"

The family of three was collectively petrified, with Song Huamin, the most level-headed, breaking the silence first.

"One shouldn't joke about this, your house must be over 500 square meters, looking at the decor and location, you couldn't have gotten such a nice house for less than ten million."

"About that, it was exactly fifteen million."

Song Yanxi was still checking around the house for cleanliness, and any items that needed to be changed had to be done as soon as possible,

like bedsheets, teacups, etc.

"Pingsheng has already completed the household registration procedures. From now on, he has truly settled down in Capital City. Mom, does that finally put your mind at ease?"

At ease, a thousand times at ease.

Now that they've moved into the little villa, what else is there to worry about?

Liu Fen immediately joined in and busied herself. At four in the afternoon, she also had to pick up Little An'an from school.

After buying all the necessary items, they could have a big dinner at home tomorrow night.

First, to celebrate their new house purchase, and second, because it was Song Yanxi's birthday.

This definitely called for a big celebration.

In addition to inviting local friends and relatives, Song Yanxi also called Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, who were far away in Southern Province.

Their son buying a villa in Capital City, now that was truly a great joy.

They didn't make a big show of it for all to know.

The elderly couple was certainly going to come over and have a look.

The family here was very efficient with their tasks; by six in the afternoon, they were almost done with the preparations.

When Chen Pingsheng came back, he had even reserved a table at a big restaurant outside.

Zhang Tao, Liu Jing, Chen Hao, and the others came too.

Their faces were filled with happiness, no envy nor jealousy, only the anticipation of life getting better and better.

They, too, had now fully settled down in Capital City.

What the future would bring was still unknown, but for now, it was about enjoying the good times.

Back in their hometown, Chen Qi, the younger sister, also received the news right away.

Accompanied by Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, she boarded the overnight train to Capital City.

It happened to coincide with the fact that Chen Pingsheng hadn't returned home for the new year, so inviting them to come now was also a way for the elderly to do some sightseeing and take a vacation in Capital City.

After everything was set, Little An'an came out of her room with a silly smile.

She hadn't expected to move into such a beautiful home all of a sudden.

The kind you couldn't roll out of no matter how much you tossed and turned.

At least she had never heard her mom and dad mention this before.

"Dad, is that really my room?"

"Yes, from now on you can play however you want in there."

"Then can I buy two Teletubbies to put inside?" Little An'an asked with her pretty big eyes fluttering.

"Of course you can."

Chen Pingsheng touched the back of her head, smiling with a sense of contentment.

"Dad will take you to buy them right now."

Since the household still lacked a few items, Chen Pingsheng drove Song Yanxi and Little An'an to browse the big stores outside together.

Song Yanxi wanted to buy everything new.

Items like mops, towels, carpets, sandals, and so on.

She grabbed whatever she saw.

Having purchased a house worth more than ten million, why bother about these little expenses?

Chen An'an was focused on picking out large dolls; she had her own little plan.

And that was to turn that huge room into her favorite children's room.

With mother and daughter both busy, they soon filled up a large car.

Song Yanxi still had a shopping urge, but unfortunately, the Panamera could only hold so much.

Chen Pingsheng simply called Zhang Tao over to help and asked him to bring over the company's 4.2-meter truck.

They intended to buy everything in one go.

The goal was to get the house set up in one day, so they wouldn't have to go shopping again the next day.

When he called for help, so many people turned up.

Song Yanxi began her crazy shopping spree, as there were so many things needed for a new house.

Two ninety-inch LeEco TVs, not just one.

Plus three fully automatic washing machines.

And various kitchen and bathroom appliances—it would have been impossible without so many people helping.

It would take Chen Pingsheng three days to handle it all by himself.

Of course, they could not do without a couple's bed.

Song Yanxi was picky, but eventually, Chen Pingsheng made the decision and bought a bed worth over twenty thousand.

According to the salesperson, this bed even came with an automatic rebound feature.
