The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 91 (Part 2)

Han Guobin asked about the development in Shanghai, and An Wen and An Wu told him everything.

The development outside is naturally very rapid and booming. The provincial capital here is actually also developed, but it can't be compared with the outside world.

Chen Roudao: "Want to go out and have a look next year?"

"We have to go out for a walk." Han Guobin nodded.

He reads the newspaper every day and has a lot of knowledge and understanding about the developments outside, but he still wants to go out and take a look.

"If you go to Shanghai next year, uncle, please call us in advance and we will pick you up at the station," said An Wen.

"What's your phone number?" Han Guobin went to get the phone book.

An Wen reported it to him.

Han Guobin wrote it down and said, "March is about the same. It's free then."

An Wu began to tell his uncle about the situation in the big shopping malls in Shanghai. He had just talked about the overall development of Shanghai, but now he would go into more details.

An Wen asked, "How do you know so much?"

"I'm not like you. I haven't even walked around our entire community. I go out every Sunday. I know everything about our district and the two neighboring districts." An Wu said.

An Wen said, "Mrs. Zhang came to deliver food because you were the one who started it."

An Wudao: "You can blame me then."

"If I don't blame you, who else should I blame?" An Wen said.

"What's wrong?" Chen Rou asked.

"When I was going upstairs, I saw that she was having a hard time carrying the rice, so I just helped her carry the rice up. I don't know why, but she wanted to introduce her little girl to me, and she often gave us the vegetables she grew." An Wu said.

"Not only you, I've asked her to target you too, and she wants to marry her niece to me." An Wen said unhappily.

"That's great. What are their conditions?" Chen Rou smiled when she heard that.

"The conditions are actually quite good. They are all studying foreign language majors." An Wudao.

"Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" Chen Sijie couldn't help but ask.

"There's nothing much to say. The locals in Shanghai look down on us guys who come from other places." An Wu said.

"It's not that I look down on you. I think Zhang Tian likes you very much." An Wen said.

"Su Yu also likes you very much. She even came up to borrow a book from you last time. Don't think I don't know." An Wu said.

"Just borrowing a book." An Wen said.

Last year, the two brothers moved out and built a small house of their own, which is pretty good.

"What does she look like?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.

"How old are you? What's the situation at home?" Sister Chen Si also asked immediately.

"He's similar to us and doesn't look bad, but his standards are too high. In Shanghai, you need three new items for marriage, an air conditioner, a stereo, and a VCR. Although you can get just one of them if you don't have enough money, it's still very expensive. An air conditioner costs more than several thousand yuan, and the stereo is cheaper, but still more than three thousand yuan, which is enough to buy the three major items here and have some left over. And you have to buy the three old items as well, and you need a betrothal gift and gold jewelry. A wedding will cost at least nearly ten thousand yuan!" said An Wu.

"You think it's so clear?" An Wen asked in surprise.

An Wu looked at him with contempt and said, "You are the eldest brother, but I have to settle all the bills. Each of us needs 10,000 yuan. We need 20,000 yuan each. Where can we get it?"

An Wen nodded. Ten thousand yuan to marry a wife was indeed a bit high. They would have to suck all the blood of their parents.

Chen Sijie and An Dabang originally wanted to tell them to marry her if they liked her, but they were stunned after hearing this.

"Are people in Shanghai so rich?" said Chen Sijie.

"I don't know whether they are rich or not, but if their family is poor, getting married will be very painful." An Wu shrugged.

Chen Sijie and An Dabang's business is actually very good. They can save about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year. Although it is indeed shockingly expensive, it is not so expensive that they cannot afford to get married.

"If you want to get married, that's fine. Your father and I have saved some money for you to get married." said Chen Sijie.

"Oh my god, he's so generous that he doesn't even blink an eye when he receives so much money?" An Wu said with a smile.

"How can I let you remain single?" Chen Sijie said unhappily.

An Wu smiled and said, "Ask my elder brother. I have no plans in this regard yet."

"If you don't have it, I don't have it either. You even calculate the accounts so clearly, but I haven't done any." An Wen said unhappily.

"It's not stable yet. I haven't been assigned a unit yet. Accommodation is also a problem. I haven't figured out every aspect of it yet." An Wu shook his head.

Both brothers know that now is not a good time to get married.

"If it's suitable, you can date her. Nowadays, don't you young people date for several years before getting married? If the girl's family is well-off and her parents are understanding people, then you can date her first and talk about it later. Didn't the TV say that some places have started to build commercial housing? By the time you graduate, it will be almost ready." Chen Rou said.

"Commercial housing? That's too expensive." An Wu smacked his lips.

"When you start working, ask your parents to support you with the down payment, and you can take out a loan to pay the rest in monthly installments." Chen Rou said.

"Aunt, you even know all this." An Wen said with a smile.

"You're looking down on me. I know everything." Chen Rou said.

Chen Sijie was very tempted. "What is that commercial housing like? How much is it? Can't I pay in full? I have to take out a loan, which is not very safe."

"In a place like Shanghai, a house would cost around 100,000 yuan. You can pay in full, but the monthly payment is good enough. Once you get a job, you'll have nothing to worry about." Chen Rou said.

"Listen to your aunt. When commercial housing is available, you can buy one each. Your father and I will see how much money we can come up with. If it's not expensive and you can afford it, I will buy a wedding house for each of you. If it's too expensive and you can't afford it, I will give you a down payment." said Chen Sijie.

"I'll give you the down payment for the wedding house, and all the money we earn in the future will belong to you," An Dabang said calmly.

"Hehe, it's easy for children whose parents are rich." An Wu laughed, "If we had to rely on ourselves, it would take us many years after graduation to save up a down payment."

An Wen didn't really care. "Let's wait and see. Maybe the company will assign some to us by then."

"The units allocated by the company are only 9 or 10 square meters, like pigeon cages. The number of units is limited and everyone is fighting for it." An Wu said, "When I move out and there are commercial housing units, I will take commercial housing."

"The housing allocated by the unit is free, and the commercial housing is free too?" An Wen said.

"Let's talk about it later. There's no need to rush into it now. There are still several years to go anyway. Maybe things will be different by then." An Wu said.

The whole family stayed at home for lunch at noon. Han Hang and Han Zhou did not come back until the afternoon, and they came with Sanhu who had made an appointment with them.

The fourth child was very happy at this, and immediately called out, "My sisters are making a cake, come and help beat the egg whites, my hands are almost broken!"
