Chapter 345 Fang Meng: The desire to live off someone becomes stronger
Bai Nuo and his friends arrived in Beijing around five in the morning. An Lu was driving the car, and Fang Meng moved to the back seat to sit with his girlfriend to discuss where the four of them would live next.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Wei family donated most of their property to the country free of charge. The donations were basically some factories and industries, or gold and silver that could be converted into cash. In order to thank the Wei family, a red family, for their contribution to the country, and for helping our army resist foreign enemies many times during the Anti-Japanese War, and to reward this red family who was willing to work several times harder for the country and the people, the top leader directly ordered that a lot of real estate and old shops be reserved for the Wei family.
Not only the Wei family's ancestral home in Shanghai, but also many houses in Beijing. After her daughter's sacrifice, Mrs. Wei decided to transfer several properties under Bai Yiman's name to her granddaughter Bai Nuo.
However, those properties are not suitable for living now. Some are rented to state-owned units, and some are too large and the geographical location is not suitable, so Bai Nuo directly crossed them out from the list of places to live.
However, as the richest of the four, the most difficult thing for Bai Nuo after returning to Beijing was where to live.
Although the Wei family's apparent assets were in the name of Madam Wei, the head of the Wei family, Bai Nuo was the only heir of this generation of the Wei family. Her grandmother had already handed over all the Wei family's apparent assets to Bai Nuo long ago. She knew where they were, whether they were house tickets or keys.
"Let's go back to the Wei family's old house to get the key. There's a second courtyard over at Yihe that's always been vacant. It's not too far from Peking University, and it only takes about half an hour to drive to the No. 1 Military Region. The key point is that this area is under the jurisdiction of the Huai'an Branch."
An Rong nodded in agreement. "Yihe Road is fine. I have a house with a courtyard there too. I'll see if I can trade that for a house next to yours."
Although the four of them are now dating each other, they are not married after all. Living alone in the same yard, there is no guarantee that someone will not take this opportunity to find fault with them, so living separately is necessary. Fortunately, they are now back in Beijing.
There are four people, three of whom are native Beijingers. Each of them has a background, backers, elders, and connections. It is extremely easy for them to find someone to exchange a house with.
Bai Nuo nodded and said, "It should be possible. The Wei family's children have been arranged to take care of the children near my courtyard. They are all people my grandmother has trained since they were young. None of them were assigned a courtyard at the beginning. I can just see which one is suitable and exchange them directly."
An Rong chuckled and said, "It's OK. I have a cousin who works at the Housing Management Office. Once everything is confirmed, I can just ask him to handle it for me."
The An family and his mother's Yu family are not short of administrative personnel.
"Actually, we can rent the same yard at the same time." Fang Meng put down the notebook with a bunch of addresses in his hand, and suddenly felt that marrying into his wife's family was much better than marrying his little girl home.
After all, no matter how you look at it, he is poor.
It is much easier to marry a rich woman than to bring her home.
However, before she married his rich girl, he was definitely unwilling to live separately from his girlfriend. You know, when they were in the Seventh Water Brigade, they lived next door to each other, a distance that could be crossed with just one big stride.
"Rent a house? One of those shanty towns in the alleys?" Bai Nuo looked at Fang Meng in surprise.
The three of them have their own house but they don't live in it. Instead, they go out and rent a house. Are they trying to piss off some old man?
"You've never been beaten by my grandma, right?" An Ren rolled his eyes speechlessly at the rearview mirror.
His grandmother was a genuine lady from a noble family. What she valued most was the etiquette, reputation and fame of the children of the aristocratic family. Even in the turbulent times, his grandmother told them to keep a low profile in their work and life so that they could spend the next few years in peace for the sake of the family's stability.
However, because the An family has always adhered to the principle of putting the country first, its own foundation and strength are strong enough, and it has been able to survive safely in this chaotic situation and has always held a high position in the political arena. In this way, the etiquette and habits of the ladies that the old lady has developed since childhood have never been lost.
Therefore, An Zhen really did not dare to challenge the authority of his grandmother. That old lady valued the family honor and reputation more than anyone else.
If people knew that he had a good house but didn't live there, and instead rented a house in a crowded slum, and most importantly, brought his sister from a wealthy family with him, he would be bringing shame to the family.
Your legs really won’t be broken!
Fang Meng curled his lips and said, "So you guys from aristocratic families are really troublesome. Why can't you just live in a slum? It's more down-to-earth!"
Although Fang Meng's maternal grandfather's family is also one of the aristocratic families, the Zhou family is a medical family that has been practicing medicine for generations, and many of them have military doctors. Many family customs and education methods are different from those of other families. The Fang brothers who grew up in the Zhou family are similar to their Zhou cousins. They all have the combination of the appearance of noble young men and the inner tough and rough soldiers.
In their words, why do so many rules come from? If I have that much time, why not just stab or shoot people a few more times and get out?
Bai Nuo stroked Fang Meng's haircut with amusement. "Alright, forget it. The old men and women at home would never agree to us living in a large, crowded compound. The reason the Wei family has so many properties is because my great-grandfather traveled extensively for business and didn't like living in crowded places. That's why he developed the habit of buying properties everywhere. This way, he could always maintain the elegance and style of the head of the Wei family."
"Bao, is this the reason why you have to get a house in Fuxing County even when you move to the next village?" Fang Meng was puzzled and shocked.
"Ah?" Bai Nuo blinked innocently and finally remembered that he had forgotten something.
She had forgotten about the yard!
It’s all Atong’s fault. I didn’t know what he was playing before and he put himself into hibernation without even reminding her.
"forget?"
As soon as Fang Meng saw the expression of his little girl, he guessed the reason and looked at her with amusement.
"kindness!"
Bai Nuo pursed his lips. The yard was basically of no use anymore, but he couldn't just abandon it there.
As the heir of the Wei family, not a single penny can be wasted!
"It's okay!" Fang Meng suppressed his laughter and patted the little girl's head, offering comforting advice: "It's inconvenient to buy and sell houses right now, so leave it empty for now. I'll call my uncle tomorrow and ask him to arrange for someone to look after it. If that doesn't work out, we can arrange for someone to live in and look after the house first, and then we can sell it later when we have the chance."
"So, how are we going to live next?" An Ren parked the car and turned to look at the two people in the back seat.
Bai Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced sideways out the car window, and looked at the familiar door not far away. The corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing a gentle and nostalgic smile: "It doesn't matter, any place you stay is fine, the key is... we are home."
