"With all the competitions I’ve participated in over the years, the state has given me quite a few rewards. Just last year when I went abroad for a competition, the prize money I won was already a hefty sum, enough for me to buy a two-entry courtyard house for my parents in North City."
Through "Dwen Dwen," she learned that many elderly people are returning to North City from the countryside after resuming work, wanting to reunite with their children abroad, rely on relatives abroad, or simply live overseas. They’re thinking of quietly selling their old houses at home for a low price to take the money and leave as soon as possible.
Afraid of any further changes.
According to current prices, buying a small courtyard costs just a few thousand bucks, a two-entry one twelve or thirteen thousand at most, and the bigger ones are naturally more expensive.
With the money she had, buying a two-entry courtyard was just a drop in the bucket.
"I know, but that doesn’t change my desire to be filial to my parents."
Luo Yanqing didn’t give in.
"Professor Luo, can’t you just be good? Do we need to distinguish between you and me? My being filial to my parents is equivalent to you being filial, and besides, the articles I’ve published and novels I’ve written over the years have brought me quite a bit of income too. Last year, the publisher printed and sold my novel, and you sat right next to me and saw exactly how much they gave me. You haven’t forgotten, have you?"
"Yeah."
"So, what are you still insisting on? You and I are married; we are one. And I’m delighted that you want to be filial to my parents as well. Don’t worry; when I buy the house, I’ll tell my parents it was bought by both of us to show our respect to them."
"You make more money than I do."
"How’s that a comparison? You’re contributing to our country’s scientific research, and what I do isn’t as commendable as that."
"Your writing and novel publications are enlightening people’s minds and cultivating their character, so your contribution to the country and society is no less than mine."
"Alright, alright, we’re both amazing!"
