Chapter 56 The Beginning of a New Life

"Dear, look at this!"

In the second-hand market in Zhongcheng District, a newly married couple is browsing some of the furniture placed here.

Life is not easy in the city of Aepeda, or even in any city in the world, because the amount of groundwater resources determines the final scale of a city from the very beginning.

This also means that it is very difficult to own a house of your own.

In a relatively high-end community in Zhongcheng District, a small foreign-style building with a second to third floor costs about 200 to 3 million yuan. Ordinary families cannot afford such expensive housing prices. In fact, some capitalists are actually those who can afford it.

Some people may find it strange why those big capitalists don’t live in the upper city but instead squeeze in the middle city with the middle class. In fact, the reason is very simple - they can’t afford to buy houses in the upper city.

The couple spent all their savings, including their parents' savings, to repay some loans, to buy a newer apartment, which is why they are here, because there is no amount of money left in their pockets. The brand new furniture is indeed very desirable, but the price is daunting.

A young husband looks about thirty years old, and should be in his thirties. His slightly blue chin is not something that young people in their twenties can develop.

Getting married in Aipeda in her thirties is not a late marriage. The rising cost of marriage has led to many people delaying their marriages. This refers specifically to the Central City. For people in the Lower City, getting married is a very simple process.

They only need to write a report to the relevant institutions in the residential area, and soon they can allocate a brand new house with a size of about 60 square meters, and even the property rights of the house belong to them, and they only need to pay the bills according to some standards every week.

But in the Midtown area, this is difficult, especially new houses and non-condo buildings, which require a lot of money.

The young husband walked to the young wife and hugged her waist. In front of them was an oval slim floor-to-ceiling mirror made of crimson wood, probably because it had existed for a long time, and there were some black patterns on the dark red wood frame.

Its base is also wood, but it is wider and stronger, with some beautiful patterns and shapes, not as simple and old-fashioned as other mirrors.

The mirror is very clean. My wife gently turned it over with her hands. There is a small mechanism on both sides of the oval frame, which can ensure that the mirror can be flipped around.

In the past, people thought that mirrors were unknown. Of course, some people also said that this idea originated from the bottom of uncultured culture. However, many things that were frightening happened at that time. Biri said that when he woke up in the morning, he suddenly found a person standing in the corner...

It was actually the owner of the house. The huge floor-to-ceiling mirror just faithfully completed its own work, but it was really scary, so from when, some floor-to-ceiling mirrors used in the bedroom could be turned over. Before going to bed at night, people would turn it around to reveal the back of the mirror that was not the mirror.

The mirror in front of the two slowly flipped over, and the couple showed a satisfied look because the frame was a whole piece of solid wood, not the kind of wood-covered edges, but the reverse was some inferior oil paintings or printings. The frame of the entire solid wood will give people a very high-end feeling.

Moreover, the back of the frame is not just a plain white one, but also a kind of carved... The two of them stood on the edge of the frame for a while and looked at it. They didn't know what this pattern was. They looked like a vortex that continued to continue deeper, but it was actually a relief!

"It looks very suitable for our house, but the price may be more expensive...", the wife was a little reluctant, "Why should we take a look at something else?"

The husband pursed his lips, and there was some hesitation and struggle in his eyes. It was really hard to encounter such a high-end second-hand floor mirror. The budget in their hands became the threshold for limiting their pursuit of high-quality life. After hesitating for a while, he looked down at his wife's love and said with a forced smile, "Maybe it's not expensive, we can ask the boss..."

As he said that, without waiting for his wife to persuade him, he raised his arms and waved to the boss who was enjoying the cool air in the distance.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt and a maroon rush sun hat. He smiled, "Guests, what kind of thing do you like?"

The husband pointed to the three or four floor-to-ceiling mirrors around him, but did not show a strong desire for a certain floor-to-ceiling mirror. "How much does these cost?"

The boss looked at it and quoted a price that both of them were very satisfied, ranging from 35 yuan to 55 yuan. Although 55 yuan is indeed a bit expensive, considering the workmanship of this mirror, the price is very reasonable.

A happy smile appeared on his wife's face. She couldn't wait to stretch out her hand and gently stroke the red wooden frame. The delicate touch was as gentle as it was touching her body, and there was no touch of touch when she touched a stiff object!

Looking at his wife's joyful appearance, the husband also smiled, "Help us put this mirror together with other things, and we will check out together later!"

"Of course, sir, and ladies..." The boss took off his hat and scolded the guy from the lower city to work under the scorching sun.

In fact, there are many workers from the Lower City area in the middle city. Their labor is cheaper and they are more humble in the face of the middle class, which caters to the satisfaction the middle class seeks on the issue of social hierarchy gap.

The couple chose a lot of furniture, which cost nearly 500 yuan in total. Although they felt a little distressed and tired, they were very satisfied with their formation today. They chose what they wanted.

After returning home, the workers quickly helped them place the furniture where they designated, and after paying some tips, the workers quickly left.

"Great!" The young wife looked at the brand new home. She was very satisfied. In order to praise her husband, she hugged her husband's neck and carried out an indescribable catalytic process of physiological hormone secretion based on the principles of body fluid exchange and guidance. After a while, the two separated, "I'll make something delicious, what do you want to eat?"

My husband casually said two things he liked to eat, and then he caught up with it sweetly, "As long as it is made by you, I actually like it..."

"You are so sweet..."

Watching his wife humming a small song in the kitchen and making hearty dishes happily, the husband breathed a lot of relief. Finally, all the big things were over, and the next step was to work hard and face various bills.

After dinner in the evening, my husband left home. As a middle class, he often had to work overtime, and the number of overtime work was actually much more than that of the proletariat and the low-profits in the Lower City.

This is not his first time working overtime, nor is it the last time. After the couple said goodbye to each other outside the door, his wife put some hot water and she was about to take a hot bath.

When she passed by the floor-to-ceiling mirror, she also admired the artistic mirror, then turned her back to it, and put some clothes washed during the day into the closet.
