Of course, although there were none in the courtyard, Qiao Yicheng and Niu Ye were not the only ones nearby who were admitted to university.
There is another family nearby who is even happier, Qi Weimin, who became the top scorer in the 1983 College Entrance Examination in Nanjing City's College Entrance Examination in liberal arts.
This made Qiao Yicheng and his second aunt Wei Shufang very proud.
Although the conditions at home were only average, I took out the coffin book and prepared a table for three days.
The fly in the ointment may be that in order to take care of Qiao Qiqi, Qi Weimin did not choose to go to Qingbei, the best school, but chose Nanjing University, which is closest to home.
However, Wei Shufang didn't know much about the quality of the university. She also misunderstood Qiao Weimin. She didn't want to leave Nanjing because she couldn't bear to leave her parents, so she was quite satisfied.
When Qi Weimin applied for a scholarship, he was also in the Philosophy Department of Nanjing University.
Everyone has their own reasons for making the same choice, but compared to Qiao Yicheng, he applied for the Normal University because he didn't need to pay tuition.
Qi Weimin missed the best school in order to take care of his cousin, which is even more touching.
Qi Weimin was really devoted to Qiao Qiqi. He could only blame his limited ability for not taking good care of Qiao Qiqi.
"Second Qiang, take Sanli and Simei to a restaurant to eat together tomorrow."
Niu Ye still invited the three Qiao brothers and sisters to his college entrance banquet. Qiao Yicheng had such an awkward personality, so Niu Ye still had to invite him personally and let the top two take the lead. Qiao Yicheng would definitely not want to go.
"Brother Niu Ye, we can't prepare any gifts for you, so it's better not to go."
Qiao Erqiang is also 14 years old. He is no longer the kid who risked everything for food. Now he has learned to be reserved and polite.
"What kind of relationship do we have? How could I care about this? Come here. My dad has spent a lot of money this time and ordered hard dishes."
"Hey, Brother Niuye, we must go."
The child said with a smile.
After inviting Qiao Erqiang, Niu Ye continued to invite his younger brother.
They are all a bunch of hard-working children, and they take advantage of the opportunity to eat all kinds of meat for their children.
From now on, there will be universities, junior high schools, and high schools everywhere, and it will not be so easy to get together.
Niu Ye finally did the math and realized that he had a lot of friends, so he needed several tables.
Fortunately, I didn't listen. Dad Niu went to Jinling Hotel, and the more people he counted, the more people there became.
With so many people going to eat together, even Niu Dad, the richest man in the courtyard, couldn't stand it.
"Niu Ye, dad has to go to Guangzhou to buy some goods first. Regarding the house, let your mom take you to check it out first."
After the college entrance banquet was held, Dad Niu became busy again. Doing business was not easy, and he often went out, but it was much better than before, when he couldn't go home all year round.
"Then there's no need for my mother. I can just look at the house by myself. She has also taken a few days off and it's time to go back to the factory and perform well."
Factories such as food factories had a very good life during the planned economy.
After the reform and opening up, there was no core competitiveness, and the efficiency dropped immediately.
From Niu Ye's point of view, as long as there are no surprises, Niu Ma is not too far away from being laid off.
But if you behave well, Niu Ma may be able to postpone the time of being laid off.
Wait a few more years, and when Dad Niu makes more money, he can contract the food factory and develop it into a Niu family enterprise.
When the reselling business failed, Niu Dad and Niu Mom happened to take over the food factory.
Niu Ye had already made clear arrangements for Niu's parents and Niu's mother.
After Niu's father left, Niu Ye rode his bicycle and walked around the university every day.
When I got to the neighborhood, I asked where there was a house I wanted to sell.
As time went by, I still gained a lot, and I found a few houses that I could make do with.
But what Niu Ye likes the most is a two-story building. Although it is a private house, it is not really a villa.
But the location of the house is good. It is a ten-minute walk to the school. The house is quite spacious. It has a structure of five rooms and has a large yard. Niu Ye likes it quite a lot.
The only thing I don't like is the price, and I don't know if Dad Niu will like it.
The price of more than 10,000 yuan is not a small amount.
Although Niu Ye is 16 years old and has grown up, he is not an adult by any means.
For such a big deal, the homeowner had no desire to talk to Niu Ye.
Niu Ye really didn't have that much money to buy this house.
"Uncle, I really like this house. You can keep it for me for a few days. When my dad comes back from business, I will bring him over to buy it."
Xinyi's house was not that easy to find, so Niu Ye didn't mind and revealed his liking.
Even if the homeowner were to raise the price, it wouldn't be much higher.
Niu Ye also likes the overseas Chinese buildings on Huaqiao Road, but most of these houses belong to public houses, and he has not encountered any private houses selling them outside.
"When can your adults come back?"
"It's just a matter of these few days. If you are not in a hurry to use the money, uncle, just wait a few days."
The number of houses is still a bit scarce, and there are really more and more wealthy people. Niu Ye would not be anxious if he hadn't met other people who came to look at the house.
"I'm anxious. My son's job has been transferred to Beijing. I'm anxious to go there and help him buy a home."
"It's a good thing, I must have been promoted. I will stay in the capital in the future, so I can't be anxious. Buying and selling a house is also a big deal. There is nothing wrong with looking around and choosing. I have relatives in Beijing. I understand.
I'll tell you which house is suitable. Don't worry, let your son live for a few days. The work dormitory is fine."
After waiting for a week, Niu's father came back from Guangzhou. Niu Ye and the uncle almost became friends.
"Niu Ye, you are really your father and my son. When you don't want something, you don't want it. The first time you asked for something, you brought me a big one. Son, do you know what a ten thousand yuan household is? You can build it all at once
Got one.”
After paying the money to the landlord and completing the formalities, Dad Niu sighed to Niu Ye.
"Dad, the money was not wasted. Didn't we keep the house? This is also our family's property."
After buying the house, Niu Ye became busy with things. This house was a place Niu Ye had planned to live in for many years.
Of course, it needs to be renovated seriously. Except for the main body of the house, Niuye is going to renovate everything inside and outside the house.
For the decoration, Niu Ye didn't need Niu's father to pay for it. Over the past few years, Niu Ye had two to three thousand yuan in hand and no place to spend it.
The house needs to be painted white, new floors laid, and the electrical circuits and water lines are also newly installed.
The windows and doors were also dismantled by Niu Ye, and new ones have been ordered.
The courtyard was also replaced with new bluestone slabs. Niu Ye liked the several sweet-scented osmanthus trees and orange trees in the courtyard, so he kept them.
Although the original owner of the house left some furniture in the house, they are all old furniture of little value.
