Chapter 712 711. Buying a House and Land (5)

On New Year's Eve, Li Du first accompanied Sophie to video, showing her the preparations at home for the Spring Festival.

Knowing that the daughter-in-law-to-be wanted to take a video to see the house, Li's father and Li's mother cleaned the house again in the evening.

At this time, Li's mother scolded him: "Let's buy a house earlier, buy a new building, and it will be decent for the son to bring his wife back in the future. Take a look, how many broken houses are there now?"

Father Li said angrily: "Buy, buy, buy, you know what to buy. Buying a house for your son is what we say? Don't let your son choose it? But, it's time to buy a new house."

The place where they live is a village in the city. It is still an old house built more than 20 years ago. Although a new floor has been added on the second floor, that floor is actually used to collect more demolition subsidies, and it is actually uninhabitable.

Li Du turned the video and said to his parents: "Parents, don't think too much, Sophie doesn't want to see what our house looks like, she wants to experience Chinese customs and culture for herself."

Father Li said: "Bring her back next year—oh, didn't you hang up the video?"

He saw Sophie on the phone screen, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes.

"New Year's greetings to you all." Li Du said with a relaxed smile.

At this time, Sophie clasped her fists together and shook her hands a few times, and said with a smile in fluent Chinese: "Uncle, Auntie, Happy New Year, I wish you a happy new year, I wish you a long life and more than every year..."

"Son of a son of a bitch!" Hans leaned his head from the side and grinned and said, then he waved enthusiastically, "Little Sophie, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Seeing him pursing his lips, Sophie said happily, "What were you talking about just now?"

Hans said: "I found a teacher here in Li to teach me Chinese. This is a slang term I learned. When Chinese people say it to each other, it can win each other's favor."

Li Du pushed him away and said, "Go away, Boss Fu, don't mess around."

Li's father and Li's mother listened to her greetings, and the old creases on their faces were relaxed, and they said repeatedly: "Happy New Year, Sophie." "We wish your parents, you are such a good girl."

After hanging up the video, Li's father and Li's mother complained to Li Du: "Why don't you tell us in advance if you want to show us the video? Let's put on new clothes."

Li Du smiled indifferently: "Sophie wants to wish you New Year greetings, not to see what you are wearing."

"You have some reasons." Li's father complained, "Mother said, the details determine success or failure, we have to do the details well."

Li Du: "**** said, I never said that, haha."

Mother Li came up and slapped him, and then praised Sophie: "The girl has a sweet mouth, she is so smart, and she can talk. Let me tell you, Xiao Du, to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to marry a smart girl. Everything is easy to handle."

Father Li interjected, "However, how does Sophie speak Chinese so well?"

Li Du explained: "She has been learning to speak Chinese for the past two months. These few sentences came out of nowhere and she memorized them according to the Chinese course."

"This girl is really caring." Father Li also began to praise her.

Fireworks continue to fly into the night sky, and the smell of fireworks continues to permeate. This is finally a bit like the New Year's Eve.

Following Li's mother's voice of "ready to eat", Godzilla and Da'ao suddenly regained their spirits, washed their hands and helped clean up the food.

Li Du asked: "Can you understand this Chinese sentence now?"

Godzilla said: "Well, I understand a lot."

"What's there?" Li Du asked with interest.

"Dinner is ready, ready to eat, lunch, dinner, fruit, and drink." Godzilla racked his brains and began to think.

Li Du: "..."

It was really lively when there were a lot of people eating. Godzilla and Ou were in charge of eating and drinking to stimulate everyone's appetite, and Hans showed off his half-baked Chinese from time to time.

And Ah Miao, Ah Miao learned to be cute in exchange for food from Li's father and Li's mother. Li's father made a bunch of fried dried fish for it and said, "Let's do a backflip."

Ah Meow's ears trembled, and she took off on the spot and flipped back, showing her excellent bounce and amazing flexibility.

Father Li laughed and gave it a small dried fish: "Come on, take a catwalk, the little thing's steps are quite enchanting."

Mother Li slapped him hard: "Don't be ashamed of being old?"

The TV was on, and the program of the Spring Festival Gala began to play, but apart from the grand opening dance, the other programs were not interesting, and later became the accompaniment of the New Year's Eve dinner. No one watched, just let out the sound to join in the fun.

On the first day of the new year, the neighbors began to pay New Year's greetings.

This is the advantage of urban villages. They enjoy the resources of the county seat and retain the traditions of the previous townships and villages. The relationship between neighbors is still very good, unlike in high-rise buildings, where neighbors who may live for several years are only nodding acquaintances.

This year, there are a lot of people paying New Year's greetings to Li Du's family. Every household in the village is a little bit related, so it makes sense to visit Li Du's family for New Year's greetings.

Apparently, they came to say that they were paying New Year's greetings to Li's father and Li's mother, but they actually followed Li and Du's path.

Li Du went abroad and made a lot of money and came back, which spread throughout the village in the city.

There was also the fact that he helped Yao Zhibo exchange a copper coin that was of no use to them for more than one million yuan. This incident became a legend around, and half the people in the county knew about it.

Especially early in the morning, when Yao Zhibo rode a motorcycle and wore a military green padded jacket, he came to pay New Year's greetings. Someone knew him and asked, "Da Bo, how did you spend more than one million yuan?"

Yao Zhibo grinned and said, "I have paid off my debts, rented land and bought machines, and next year we will start planting in greenhouses. At that time, we invite everyone to eat pollution-free organic vegetables."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that the fact that one copper coin was sold for more than one million yuan was not a rumor, it was true.

Not only Yao Zhibo came to pay New Year's greetings, but Du Hang also came, driving a Nissan sedan.

Seeing Yao Zhibo's motorcycle, Du Hang joked, "Boss Yao, you are rich now, can you change to another car? This thing is a man's face."

Yao Zhibo smiled and said, "I changed it. I changed the engine oil of my motorcycle and a new cotton coat. Can't you tell?"

Du Hang: "..."

Li's father and Li's mother brought them tea and dried fruit snacks. Yao Zhibo thanked them again and again, and then said to Du Hang, "Brother Hang, what are you doing here today? It's very eye-catching. Hug Lao Li's thick thigh tightly?"

Du Hang pushed him and said, "What? I'm here to work for President Li."

He knocked on the melon seeds and opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out a stack of documents and handed them to Li Du: "Mr. Li, take a look and everything is done according to your requirements."

"Single house, wide view, beautiful environment, convenient transportation, the most important thing is that the property service is super good, 24 hours of non-stop security patrols, next to our county police station, there is nothing to say about security."

Father Li asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Information about the villa." Du Hangdao, "The best villas in our county are all inside."

Father Li looked at Li Du in surprise, and said, "What is this for?"

Li Du looked at the information and said, "I'll buy a house for you."
