Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

Chapter 193 Viewing a House

"young married woman!"

Cheng Baichuan was shocked. Wasn't his wife in Sichuan Province?

Why did you bring your daughter to Taipei?

Could something have happened?

For a moment, Cheng Baichuan felt both excited and worried.

When Nuonuo saw her father coming, she crawled out from behind Li Wanqing and rushed towards Cheng Baichuan.

"father!"

Cheng Baichuan was slightly taken aback. His daughter seemed to have changed a bit after not seeing her for several months.

I can't quite put my finger on what's changed, but I just feel like it has.

Cheng Baichuan picked up his daughter, then looked at Li Wanqing, "Wife, what brings you here?"

He thought it was that woman surnamed Zhao again.

Li Wanqing explained with a smile, and Cheng Baichuan was slightly surprised.

Are you planning to move to Taipei?

Li Wanqing nodded, "Of course, a family should stay together."

Cheng Baichuan smiled. "Are you so sure I can get into the Taipei Military Academy of Sciences?"

Li Wanqing tilted her head and looked at him, saying, "So you passed the exam?"

Cheng Baichuan smiled helplessly, "I just finished the exam yesterday."

"Tch!" Shi Yong scoffed. "Pretentious..."

"Ouch!" Shi Yong cried out, turning to look at the person who had hit him. "Mom, what are you doing!"

Aunt Shi rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."

This officer looks capable; her brat just has a sharp tongue.

Why should an outsider like him interrupt when the couple is talking?

Shi Yong rubbed his head, his face full of resentment, but he dared not say anything because of his mother's tyranny.

In his mind, Cheng Baichuan was just a pretentious person.

Cheng Baichuan glanced at Shi Yong but didn't take his words to heart.

He was the champion of this national military competition, and many people were jealous of him.

He can't beat him, so he just likes to seek validation through verbal sparring.

Cheng Baichuan pulled his wife and daughter a little away from Shi Yong, teased his daughter for a bit, and then asked softly, "Honey, if you want to buy a house, do we have enough money?"

Since Li Wanqing arrived, Cheng Baichuan has basically stopped managing the money.

He knew that Li Wanqing was doing some business and earning a decent income, but this was Taipei.

Li Wanqing honestly shook her head, "I'm not sure yet. I'll ask around before deciding what kind to buy."

Cheng Baichuan frowned slightly. "I came in first place in this competition, and I have a good bonus. I'll give it to you later."

Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing became interested. "Really? How much?"

Cheng Baichuan held up three fingers, and Li Wanqing was slightly surprised, "So many?"

Cheng Baichuan remained calm. "Fortunately, this is the National Military Skills Competition."

After discussing it briefly, Li Wanqing took Nuonuo and left.

Nuonuo pouted, looking reluctant.

Dad was busy talking to Mom and ignored me.

[As expected, once you have a wife, you don't care about your own daughter anymore.]

Li Wanqing: ...This girl will definitely be a drama queen when she grows up.

Not long after returning to the guesthouse, Qu Zhe came to visit.

"Comrade Li, I've found two suitable houses. Would you like to go and take a look?"

"Yes, of course I'll go!" Li Wanqing was overjoyed; she really hadn't expected Comrade Qu to be so quick.

Qu Zhe found two rooms: one was an apartment building, and the other was a single-story house with a yard.

"The owner of the apartment is a retired professor from the Military Academy of Sciences. The university allocated him an apartment, and he wants to get rid of it to raise money for his son's dowry."

“The bungalow belonged to the surrounding residents. The owner’s son went abroad and wanted to take his elderly parents abroad, so the house was disposed of.”

Qu Zhe explained as he walked.

Li Wanqing thought about it and decided that living in an apartment building would be more convenient, as it would have access to water and electricity and a private toilet.

"Are apartments much more expensive now?" Li Wanqing asked.

Qu Zhe nodded. "The building is on the third floor, a good floor level. It has two bedrooms and a living room. All things considered, it's about 100 square meters over there."

Upon hearing the price, Li Wanqing gasped.

Compared to the exorbitant prices of later generations, this price was so low that it wouldn't even buy a toilet.

But now it's the 70s, and all she can do, no matter how hard she tries, is to get ahead.

"What about the bungalows?" Li Wanqing asked hesitantly.

“Around 8000, the homeowner said the price is negotiable,” Qu Zhe said.

Li Wanqing frowned slightly; it was only 2000 cheaper than an apartment.

Qu Zhe further explained, "The overall condition of the bungalow is not bad. It is large, has its own well, and is also connected to electricity. It's just that no one has lived there for a long time, so there are quite a lot of weeds."

"Let's take a look at both of them first," Li Wanqing said after thinking for a moment.

If the apartment is suitable, then I'll grit my teeth and buy it.

Qu Zhe didn't say anything more and led Li Wanqing towards the Military Science University.

The building is very close to the Military Science and Technology University, almost separated by only a wall, no wonder the price is high.

"Comrade, look how well this house is maintained; the owner has hardly ever lived there."

The person showing them the house was a relative of the homeowner, who enthusiastically introduced the house to them.

Overall, the room is indeed nice, but there are still quite a few things to consider before checking in.

The walls need to be painted, and all the furniture needs to be added.

Plus housing prices...

Li Wanqing suddenly felt embarrassed by her lack of money.

You can't just buy a house and then give up food and drink altogether.

"I'll go back and think about it some more," Li Wanqing said tactfully.

Upon hearing this, the relative of the head of household's enthusiasm faded. "Comrade, are you short of money?"

"If you're short of money, don't buy a house."

"An outsider who wants to enter Taipei City, doesn't he even consider the consequences?"

Li Wanqing's expression changed, and Qu Zhe was even more embarrassed. He didn't expect the old professor's relative to speak so harshly.

"Auntie, buying a house is a big deal, you need to think it through carefully," Qu Zhe said with a forced smile.

The other person muttered something in Taipei dialect that Li Wanqing couldn't understand, but judging from Qu Zhe's expression, she knew it wasn't anything nice.

"Comrade Qu, let's go first," Li Wanqing said calmly. "Buying a house is a matter of fate, and I may not be destined to have this house."

Upon hearing that Li Wanqing really wasn't going to buy it, a hint of mockery flashed across the head of household's relative's face.

However, out of respect for Qu Zhe, he didn't say anything more.

Once outside the residential building, Qu Zhe apologized to Li Wanqing, "Comrade Li, I'm really sorry about what happened just now."

Li Wanqing smiled and said, "Comrade Qu was just trying to help, I'm so grateful to you."

"Isn't there another bungalow? Comrade Qu, please take me to see it first."

Qu Zhe sighed slightly, looking regretful, after all, the location of this building was truly excellent.

The price was a bit high, and there was also the old professor's relative...

Hey, forget it.

Just like Li Wanqing said, we were probably not meant to be.

"The bungalow is a little far from here, I'll take you there now."

Although it's said to be far, it's actually only a 10-minute walk.

Li Wanqing fell in love with the courtyard the moment she saw it.
