Dashuan was 17 this year, Ershuan was 16, Sanshuan was 15, and even the youngest, Xiaoshuang, was now 9, so they could be trusted to look after Little Ni Yun. Zhou Danni felt at ease.
Dashuan patted his chest and said, "Mom, rest assured, I’ll take good care of Yunyun."
"Go on then." Zhou Danni wanted to pat Dashuan’s head, but realizing she could no longer reach it, she patted his shoulder instead.
Zhou Danni gave them over thirty yuan, and the kids came back with a load of groceries, even buying a candied hawthorn for Little Ni Yun.
The Zhao Family kids were all exceptionally well-behaved. Although only Little Ni Yun had a candied hawthorn, none of them made a fuss.
After dinner, Ni Cuihua and Zhou Danni chatted idly.
"Danni, have you bought a house in Beijing yet?"
Zhou Danni shook her head, "No. My husband and I are planning to save money to build a house back in our hometown."
At that time, people didn’t like the idea of buying houses outside their hometowns. They all wanted to make money and then go back to build houses and honor their ancestors!
Ni Cuihua continued, "Yangyang told me that there will be more and more migrant workers coming to Beijing in the future, and the housing prices will get higher and higher. Actually, you could take advantage of the current low prices to buy a few properties. The money you’d spend on building a house in your hometown would be more than enough to buy one in Beijing."
"Did Yangyang say that?" Zhou Danni asked, "Will there really be more and more people coming to Beijing to work?"
Ni Cuihua nodded, "Yes, Yangyang said that Beijing is a metropolis and its development will only get better. Yangyang himself has bought several properties." In reality, it was not just several; Ni Yang already owned three courtyard houses and six apartment buildings.
Zhou Danni didn’t trust many people, but she trusted Ni Yang. If it weren’t for Ni Yang’s advice, her family would still be living frugally!
They had already saved up over ten thousand yuan.
Back in the day, they couldn’t even save seventy or eighty yuan in a year!
Nowadays, they were living a life they could hardly have dreamed of before.
So on festive occasions, Zhou Danni always took her family to visit the Ni Family.
They couldn’t be the type to forget favors and betray kindness.
Zhou Danni nodded, "Alright, when my husband comes back, I’ll discuss this matter with him."
