Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1394: Chapter 1396: Love Talk Skill

”Maybe it’s just luck, but I really did find it,” Meng Xinian cleaned up her clothes, hanging them one by one in the closet, as he said, ”The owner of this house is so desperate to go abroad—their friend overseas told them that there’s gold everywhere, everything is great, the bread is fragrant, the milk is sweet, and there are lots of blond-haired, blue-eyed beauties.”

Chiang Xiao burst into laughter.

”Do you want fragrant bread, sweet milk, or a blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty?”

Distracted by her tease, Meng Xinian glanced at her and said, ”My Kitten is fragrant, is sweet, and I just like her, a beauty with black hair and black eyes.”

Oops, got hold of some love-talk skills!

”Behave yourself, don’t be naughty,” Meng Xinian coaxed her, then continued, ”Anyway, this Comrade Qin simply got it into his head to go abroad and is out of money, so he thought of selling this house to gather enough funds. He was told that a hundred thousand yuan could buy a three-story western house overseas, and with the rest of the money, he could afford a really posh car, and then drink foreign liquor and carouse with blonde beauties every day. But not many people can afford his asking price of two hundred and fifty thousand yuan now.”

At this point, Chiang Xiao finally reacted.

These days, two hundred and fifty thousand is indeed not an amount many can afford to spend on a house.

”Those who can afford this price already have a house and never thought about buying another one, and those who can afford it and do want to buy one don’t have as good information as I do,” Meng Xinian said. ”So, as soon as I heard the news, I went to see him myself and negotiated with Comrade Qin.”

”Ah? You cut down the price by fifty thousand?” Chiang Xiao admired him with stars in her eyes.

Meng Xinian said calmly, ”Yes, he was in a hurry to leave, so when I offered two hundred thousand in cash, he agreed. So now, the house is mine. Actually, I had prepared two hundred and thirty thousand, and the remaining thirty thousand was used to renovate the yard. We couldn’t ruin its original charm, and that took quite some effort.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but pounce over to him, hanging onto him like a tailless koala.

”Wow, Brother Xinian, you’re so cool, really, you’re just too cool!”

Her continuous praise made Meng Xinian’s smile unstoppable.

What could be more blissful than giving something that makes the one you love truly happy?

Well, he felt, this gift, that cost him everything, was worth it.

Chiang Xiao was ecstatic, and didn’t even want to go out for dinner, insisting on eating at the new house that evening. Helpless, Meng Xinian said, ”I can start cooking, but there’s nothing here. Should I go out and buy some flour, cabbage, and pork to make dumplings for you?”

With a wave of her hand, the flour, cabbage, and pork he wanted appeared on the table.

”I have them!”

Meng Xinian was speechless, suddenly feeling a bit defeated.

Hmm, compared to her Spatial treasure, no matter how much he gave, it just seemed insufficient.

But seeing Chiang Xiao’s cheerful demeanor, he was genuinely happy.

While he busily minced the filling and rolled out the dough for the dumplings, she joyfully flitted around like a little butterfly, exploring the new house, checking every room and every corner.

She thought that Mr. Qin must have been mad!

To sell such a beautiful yard and go abroad!

Twenty or thirty years later, he’s probably going to regret it so much his insides will turn green!

”Alright, come wash your hands and eat dumplings! Do you like it that much? Once you move in, you can see it every day.”

Chiang Xiao quickly washed her hands and came to eat dumplings.

Meng Xinian learned the art of making the dumpling filling from Ge Liutao specially for her, tailoring it to Chiang Xiao’s favorite flavors. With his strong kneading, the dough and the rolled wrappers were chewy, making the dumplings particularly aromatic and delicious.
