Chapter 48: Confirm the promise

Dad pointed to the villa not far away and said to us:

"There are three sets over there, and one set inside is ours. My son chooses it carefully. If you like it, just say it. I'll go and help you complete the procedures."

I nodded and looked around. There were three beautiful villas distributed in the place where my father just pointed out, all of which were three-story buildings. There was a large balcony on the second floor, which could be made into an aerial garden. The yard at the bottom was very large, and the yard was surrounded by wooden fences about half a person tall, which was very unique. The yard was covered with green grass. If you live in, you could plant a lot of flowers here. When it was blooming, the garden would be filled with fragrance.

We walked a little closer and I saw a villa closest to us. The roof was mainly herringbone structure with beautiful glazed tiles on it. The third floor was actually a small attic. A unique small window faced the Jiangbin Road in the distance. You can usually see the beautiful view of the Minjiang River from afar.

We pushed open the small wooden door and walked into the yard. Dad said with a smile:

"In the future, you can modify the wooden door slightly, and park the car directly in the yard, and plant some lilac flowers there, which is definitely refreshing."

I nodded with a smile, and my father said:

"Let's go in and take a look!"

After saying that, he found the key and opened the door. We followed my father into the house. The first impression of the house was that the floor was very high, giving people a very spacious feeling. Maybe it was a single family, and the developer would not try to reduce the height of the floor for the sake of profit. The house was not decorated, and the beams were exposed, so that residents could design the home according to their own ideas.

We walked around, and looked at the front and back of the house, upstairs and downstairs. We also looked at the other two houses nearby. We really don’t know which one to choose. In terms of structure, these three houses are the same, but the location is a little different. I was embarrassed and said to my father:

"Dad, let's go to the last set to take a look! Let's talk about it after reading it."

Dad said with a smile:

"Okay! I'll choose again after you've chosen it. After you have finished choosing, I'll take action on the other sets. Now is the golden age of real estate!"

I said to myself:

"If you keep this house for another year, I don't know how much the price will increase!"

But I didn't say it. My father's business was on track. I didn't need to remind him so much. But I remember that the country seemed to have issued some regulations in my dream that the purchase and sale of second-hand houses must be paid heavy taxes, which led to the bankruptcy of a large number of small real estate agencies. I should remember to remind him at that time.

We didn't drive either, and walked directly along this path. The winding path was in secluded. After about ten minutes, I saw a villa standing there alone. Regardless of its shape, I liked this environment very much. There was a small artificial lake on the right side of the villa, and benches, swings and other leisure items were placed benches, swings and other leisure items in front of the villa. In front of the villa is a maple forest. It can be imagined that in autumn, the fiery red maple leaves fall with the autumn wind, and lay a red carpet on the ground. What a beautiful scene!

We walked closer and saw that the villa was slightly larger than the three buildings just now, and it also had a three-story structure. However, the yard was larger, surrounded by unique wooden fences and small wooden doors. I pointed to the artificial lake, which covers a very small area, and asked:

"Dad! This lake was also made by the developer? That lake water..."

Dad said with a smile:

"The lake water circulates to the Minjiang River through the pipeline at the bottom of the lake, which is living water. This item alone costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, which does not include construction fees and ancillary facilities costs!"

I couldn't help but ask:

"It seems that this lake is mainly enjoyed by the owner of this house, because other villas are not very close to this place, so how much is this house worth!"

Dad said with a smile:

"It will be a little more expensive, but it won't be too outrageous! These are all considered public facilities in the community, and the fees are paid by all owners."

I nodded and walked towards the villa with great enthusiasm. I rushed directly to the large balcony on the second floor. Looking around, the maple forest not far away had already turned red. It was early autumn now. After a while, you will see the red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain here.

I turned around and found that there was huge floor-to-ceiling glass between the balcony on the second floor and the space that should be reserved for the bedroom. The same is true on the side. If you sleep here, open the curtain and see the beautiful scenery on both sides. On one side is a beautiful lake and on the other side is a fiery maple forest... I began to imagine the scene of living in it.

When my father saw my expression, he looked at each other with his mother knowingly and said:

"Okay, son, just this one! I'll go and go through the procedures for you now and register and book it! You and your mother are strolling here to see the surrounding environment, and think about how to decorate it. I'll get everything for you by the time being!"

I said with a smile:

"Please complete the procedures first! There is no rush to decorate. Anyway, I am in the army and I have very little time to go home. It's not too late to decorate when I want to get married!"

Dad looked at me with a smile and said:

"You will be renovated early, and you can come here to live by yourself in the future. It's nice to bring your girlfriend here! I'll take you to choose a good car in a few days, and then everything will be there!"

After saying that, my dad thought about it and continued:

"I think everyone should go together! I need to go there myself in the house transfer registration. I just need to transfer this house to your name."

I thought about it and it was right. I wanted to go to Xiaoying's house to visit my uncle and aunt, and agreed to bring my property certificate and officer certificate. So the three of us went downstairs together and drove back to the city to complete the procedures.

After completing the transfer procedures for the house, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. I said to my parents:

"Dad, mom! I still have some things to do, so I left first. Time is very tight today. After a while, I am no longer busy with work. I will take a vacation and accompany you well!"

Dad said carelessly:

"It doesn't matter. Men should put their career first. Son! Do your best in the army! Our family is not short of money now, what they lack is a general. If you can become a general, I will be willing to spend as much as you spend!"

I said with a smile:

"I will work hard! But the general cannot be a member of the money, so don't worry! Then I'll leave! Take care of yourself!"

Dad nodded and said:

"Okay! Be careful on the road! By the way, do you want me to send you there? Anyway, it's convenient to have a car now!"

I smiled and shook my head, turned around and stopped a taxi, and headed straight for Xiaoying's house.

Without making a call in advance, I went straight downstairs to her house and rang the doorbell. After a while, Xiaoying's father opened the door and saw me, looking surprised. I smiled and raised the property certificate in my hand and said:

"Uncle, I'm here to fulfill my promise."

The surprised expression on his uncle's face was fleeting, and he said lightly:

"Come in and talk!"

I nodded and followed him to the living room on the second floor. I asked while changing my slippers:

"Uncle, aunty isn't she at home?"

The uncle said without looking back:

"I'm going to work... Changfeng, you just sit there, do you want to drink tea?"

I just sat down, and quickly stood up and said:

"No need, uncle, I'm not thirsty! I'll leave after saying a few words."

My uncle sat down face to face, and I handed him the property certificate in my hand and said:

"This is a villa I bought today. I will be in Jiangbin Road. Please check it out."

The uncle took the property certificate, glanced at it, threw it on the coffee table, and said:

"Just buy a house, don't waste buying a villa like this. Moreover, it is far from the city center, so it is inconvenient to go to work."

I said with a smile:

"It's okay, uncle, I'll go buy a car in a few days. When Xiaoying graduates, I'll take her to learn driving. From now on, it's very convenient for her to live there whether she goes to work or to go back to your place..."

I said this and seemed to have regarded myself as their son-in-law. Uncle didn't care either. He just nodded without comment. I quickly took out my officer certificate and handed it to him, saying:

"Uncle, according to your wishes, I have been transferred to Fuzhou to work. This is my officer certificate."

The uncle waved his hand and said:

"No need to watch it!"

I stared at him nervously, not knowing what he meant. After a while, the uncle sighed and said:

"Changfeng! I know you sacrificed a lot for Xiaoying, and I also know that you both like each other very much. As parents, we shouldn't break up you, but you really worried at that time. At that time, you could not give Xiaoying happiness at all, so we put forward some conditions that seem a bit harsh. Now you have done it, but I still want to ask you: Have you really considered the relationship between you and Xiaoying? Are you sure you can love each other well for the rest of your life? Love and marriage are different. Love can be done by just feeling. If you feel bad, you can change it. But marriage is different, and marriage means responsibility."

After saying that, he stared at my eyes tightly. I said firmly without avoiding his eyes:

"Uncle, I thought it through a year ago!"

Yes, since I woke up from my dream and found myself back to the military academy era, I have made up my mind to grasp the feelings I had lost. Many things will only feel their preciousness after losing them. This is especially true for the feelings. It is because of the feeling of losing Xiaoying that I cherish every day I have been with Xiaoying. I have always believed that an excellent soldier must not only have passion but also tenderness, otherwise it would be a murder machine.

I saw that my uncle didn't say anything, so I continued:

"Uncle, I know that you and aunt are both for Xiaoying's good. I feel sorry for the hearts of all parents in the world. I understand your mood. I have tried my best to do what you want. But one thing is that I work in the army and may have very little spare time. At least when my position is relatively low, I cannot go out casually, so I may have little time to spend with Xiaoying. But I promise that I will treat Xiaoying with my sincerity and do my best to make her happy and make her happy! Please believe me, I am very, very serious about Xiaoying!"

The uncle sighed and said:

"Changfeng, you said it very well, but Xiaoying doesn't understand me yet! Every time she calls her, she will talk to her mother all the time, but once the phone is changed to my hand, she will hang up if she can't say a few words..."

I smiled and said:

"Uncle, this is all temporary. She will know from now on that you are doing it for her!"

The uncle sighed and said, "I hope!"

He stopped and continued:

"Changfeng, since you are so sincere, uncle can't be too demanding. You said you have very little time, but you have to be together often when you fall in love. Girls should coax more! In the future, Xiaoying comes back from holidays, you must spend more time with her! After all, if you haven't met for a long time, your relationship will become unfamiliar..."

I said in surprise:

"So, uncle, have you promised me and Xiaoying be with me?"

The uncle nodded with a smile and said:

"If you dare to bully Xiaoying in the future, I will be polite to you!"

I nodded repeatedly and said:

"Thank you uncle...that, can you use your phone number?"

The uncle smiled and said, "You can use it casually! They are all your own people, don't be polite!"

I hurried over, picked up the phone, dialed the phone number that I knew well. After the ringing sound, the phone was connected. Xiaoying's sweet voice seemed a little unhappy:
To be continued...
