After Lou Cheng got back home, he washed the clothes stored for two days diligently because he found it was still early. He also made a backup of the valuable things on his computer. He even did some household chores.
While he had finished these chores, his mother, Qi Fang, was slowly back from the community office. The moment she walked into the house, she saw the clean coffee table, so she suspiciously looked at his son and just found who stood there so proudly like being waiting for the praise. She blurted out,
"Cheng, what has happened to you?"
"Nothing." Lou Cheng denied, "While I'm in school, I still would clean up my dormitory? Just now I have nothing else to do, so I do it on a sudden impulse."
Qi Fang did pay much attention to this thing. She at first smiled with satisfactory, but then she began to complain, "You, as a child, how can you not tell us that you will go to visit your munekado officially in advance! We even had no time to prepare some specialties for your master. That's very impolite. What's more, I know that your master is very great, so he may look down upon our little gifts. But we still have to express our appreciations to him. Even in the TV series, some people said that it's not the gift that counts but the thought behind it."
"Mom, this is because my munekado hold this ceremony too hasty. And be easy, because I help you prepare the specialty for my master, the four bottles of hard liquor in Ningshui County which have the original-proof spirits. My master was very satisfied. he like this kind of liquor very much." Lou Cheng comforted his mother with a smile.
Or this is because your daughter-in-law is very considerate!
Qi Fang looked him up and down, and showed a suspicious look, "When you have become so thoughtful..."
Although her son did grow up and became mature, it was still hard to comprehend the details of these interpersonal communications by himself.
But I even didn't have time to teach him that!
As for his father, Well, it would be great if he didn't neglect those details!
"Yes ah, thanks to my mother. You influence me with your words and deeds." Lou Cheng flattered his mother ignoring his own consciousness, which made Qi Fang felt pleased. She walked into the kitchen and began to prepare for dinner.
Lou Cheng stopped himself to tell his mother his plan about buying a new house. Until waiting for his dad coming back from work and all his families were chatting after having a full dinner, he began to say it solemnly, "Mom, dad, you can find time to look at the real estate around our house, which is within three years period. "
"What?" Qi Fang was confused.
Lou Cheng explained it very patiently, "Because I have won the championship and got six hundred thousand bonuses. So I'm thinking, thinking that I can buy a new house for us. It is very inconvenient to treat even one more guest for our house is so small."
"Oh..." Qi Fang was surprised and then laughed very happily, "Cheng, I'm so glad that you are so thoughtful. You don't need to buy it! Waiting for another two years, we will save enough money for the down payment. Haha, now, Fatty Guo and his families treat your dad very politely and even raised his salary. Guo gave him the previous technical bonus as well!"
Lou Zhisheng also could not help but laugh. He could barely restrain his happiness and said, "Your mother is right, you are so thoughtful to have this idea. But we are not so poor that we can save money. Sis hundred thousand Yuan is a big amount of money for us in this small place, but I have also heard that you have to spend a lot of money on practicing martial arts. You don't need to waste your money like this, you should save it for you will spend plenty of money in the future."
"Yes, Cheng, now your future is bright, so you won't stay at the ritual places like Xiushan in the future will certainly. I have ever heard that the housi
ng price in big cities is quite high which is more than ten thousand Yuan per square meter. So if you want to buy a comfortable and roomy house, you even can't afford the down payment with the six hundred thousand Yuan. You just save it to marry your wife in the future." Qi Fang said with a smile.
Why the script seems wrong right now, how do we begin to talk about the housing price in big cities? Lou Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't correct his mother's misunderstanding.
Not all the housing price is more than ten thousand Yuan in the large cities.
He thought for a while. He then deliberately showed the confident posture,
"Dad, Mom, why are you talking about things about the far future? Well, I mean that with my current strength and level, even if I didn't make any big progress in the future, I still could earn one or two million Yuan a year. Also if I am lucky enough, I can win several championships and get the higher income, so I will earn much more money than the six hundred thousand Yuan. Until then, won't the downpayment mean nothing to me?"
"What's more, the housing price of Xiushan isn't high. You have said that the housing price nearby is only 3500 per square meter. The housing price of the better district is only 4000 Yuan, so if I buy you a house which is one hundred and twenty square meters, I can still have ten thousand Yuan left which is enough for my spending within two years. Also, I can earn money by myself later... You keep your savings well. Don't you plan to give it to me in the future?"
Lou Cheng told a joke to help his parents get rid of the concerns in their heart.
Qi Fang was persuaded a bit by his words, "I also heard that the housing price of Xiushan is rather low, so it will rise later. If we don't buy a new one now, we will waste more money on it two years later..."
"This housing price is low? Xiushan is not a big city, how could its housing price rise? Maybe it will fall later." Lou Zhisheng shook his head to show his disagreement.
"But we just want to live in the house instead of investing." Lou Cheng added, "Don't you feel that our house is rather small?"
"However, we have so many acquaintances in this community. They are your uncles and aunts you know. You dad and I usually chat or play cards with them. So if we moved to another community, we will feel very boring without your company."
"Mom, you think too much. We are going to select a new house in the surrounding building. After you have dinner, you can come back here by walking. What' more, you also have to work in the community during the day." Lou Cheng continued to persuade her.
Qi Fang stopped talking. She began to look at Lou Zhisheng and just found that he also was pondering instead of objecting him.
"Actually, our house is small. It is inconvenient to serve our guests as well. Two years later, Cheng may come back home with his girlfriend, so we can't make his girlfriend feel aggrieved..." Qi Fang rambled and began to agree with Lou Cheng unconsciously.
Lou Zhisheng poured a little wine in the bottle and drank them in one gulp. At last, he made a decision,
"Cheng, you only need to provide us four hundred thousand Yuan. We will make up the rest money. Also, you should write your name on the real estate license!"
"Well, okay." Lou Cheng felt the firm attitude held by his father, so he didn't say anything else.
Qi Fang sighed, and soon she became excited, "Then I will ask somebody tomorrow and look for a new house in the real estate nearby!"
"It's better to hire an agent to deal with this kind of thing. The person others recommended isn't very trusted. Hasn't Chen Hui been cheated for more than ten thousand Yuan last time?" Lou Zhisheng said seriously.
Watching his father and mother talking about the house thing so excitedly, Lou Cheng smiled by their side. He felt very happy and satisfied. All the depression he had during these two days has dissipated.
Cherish the present moment and go for the future. Not to worry about the things that you can't solve now and try to love people around you!
After chatting for a while with his parents, Lou Cheng took out his phone and sent Yan Zheke a message,
"Ke, I plan to take four hundred thousand Yuan out from my bonus to buy my parents a new house..."
He always felt that he had to confess this kind of thing to Coach Yan...
Yan Zheke heard od his plan before, so she wasn't surprised right now. She "snickered" and said,
"It's good. But why you told me this? You should decide how to spend your money by yourself~!"
"I am your Cheng. Of course, I have to tell you." Lou Cheng replied her with a "sinister" smile.
Yan Zheke gave a "rolling eyes" and said,
"So if I do not agree with you, will you buy it or not?"
"I believe you will agree with me." Lou Cheng sent a "smile with red face" emoji.
This is the tacit understanding of worldview, values of worth and philosophy on life shared by both of them.
Yan Zheke sent a "single-handedly hold her chin and looked up" emoji and said, "I mean what if?"
Lou Cheng felt her question was quite difficult, how could he answer it?
This kind of tricked set is an eternal problem!
Not until he began to type, his girlfriend sent a "smile with covering mouth" emoji and replied, "Are you frightened by my question? Well, you don't need to answer me because I will answer you. If two people have such a big contradiction on their basic values, their relationship won't last for too long."
"However, Cheng, I recently read many posts and Weibo, so assuming that you can only earn thousands of Yuan per year and you are so lucky to win six hundred thousand Yuan, in addition, the house which your parents live is a little old and small, will you still take four hundred thousand Yuan out to buy them a new house even when they already have one?"
Lou Cheng thought and sent a "smile bitterly" emoji, "In that case, I think I shouldn't buy it because people need to know his limitations."
"So you can see, whether the fact you can have no psychological burden to buy your parents a house or the fact that I only think that you are so kind and thoughtful for doing this instead of having other ideas is based on our full ability and our strength. Money isn't equal to strength, but it definitely is an important part of strength. "Yan Zheke sent a "sit well-behaved" emoji and replied him.
"Ah... I felt I was instructed by my life instructor once again!" Lou Cheng said with sincerity.
"Hey hey." Yan Zheke sent a "make progress" emoji, "So, young man, work harder! Try to earn more money and improve yourself!"
This is the key to solve this problem.
Seeing this sentence, Lou Cheng suddenly understood that Ke was still comforting him for the thing about his master even though she changed a lot of ways to not do it directly. She was trying to stop me from sticking to my own decadence so that she helped me see the light and hope in life.
He smiled and sent her a "kiss" emoji,
"Yes, I'll work hard..."
From now on, show the smile.
From now on, not blame myself and never feel helpless. Go for the goals excitedly.
From now on, I will hold a firm belief and hope.
At that time, he felt so firm and clear-minded, so he also made another decision. He found Wei Renjie's phone number in his contact book, then he called Chairman Wei, Wei Renjie.
"Hello, Lou, ah, have you already gone back to Xiushan?" Wei Renjie said with a smile.
"Yes, ah, because I have to go back work in the martial arts on time. Well, I can't receive the salary for nothing." After Lou Cheng greeted him, Lou Cheng straightly referred the topic, "Chairman, I can only help them guide the special training one day a week. You know, I am unable to teach them the martial arts of my munekado, so I can only be an instructor or be their sparring partner. That is to say, it is totally enough to do this work one day a week."
Because he was born here, he loved the mountains, the river, and this city deeply. If he could, he still wanted to do something good for his hometown.
Wei Renjie said gladly, "Great, okay. One day is enough. Even you just stand there and do nothing can set a good model for them."
Today, things have become different from the past. Right now, Lou Cheng is the most powerful youth fighter in our province. He ranked the first.
Lou Cheng hung up the phone and told this thing to Yan Zheke. His mind became quiet and peaceful, as the scene outside the window. Outside the window, some lamps were shining in the darkness.
Tomorrow, I will do morning exercises with Ke and practice martial arts harder.
Tomorrow, I will take my responsibilities by going to the martial arts school to instruct VIP students.
Start from small things, start from dribs and drabs!
