Chapter 937

Xu Haimin said: "Fine, then I will definitely help you build this house well. By the way, for this demolition of the old house and building of a new one, you still need to go to the urban construction department and real estate management department to handle some procedures. I'll just help you handle these procedures."

Su Xinghui said: "Then thank you so much, Uncle Xu!"

Now, with Su Xinghui's status in Shangjun County, it would be easy for him to handle these procedures, but handling these procedures was very cumbersome, and he didn't have the time to run around. However, Xu Haimin was in construction, and his subordinates had people specifically for this aspect. Him helping Su Xinghui run these errands could save Su Xinghui a lot of time and energy.

Xu Haimin said: "Don't be so polite. Just for these floor plans of yours, I should be the one thanking you!"

Su Xinghui said: "Fine, then I'll leave first. By the way, I'm going on a long trip in two days. After you calculate the cost, you can start construction first. After I return, I'll sign a formal contract with you and settle the remaining expenses."

Xu Haimin said: "You go ahead; you can rest assured leaving this matter to me. Don't worry about the expenses."

Su Xinghui stood up and said: "I have to worry; in terms of economics, no matter how cautious I am, it's not enough."

Xu Haimin also knew that Su Xinghui had offended quite a few people in officialdom, and who knew how many people were watching him? He laughed and stood up to see Su Xinghui out.

Returning home, Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua hadn't returned yet, so Su Xinghui rolled up his sleeves and cooked a meal. When the meal was almost ready, Guo Suhua returned first. She laughed: "Xinghui, you're cooking today!"

Su Xinghui said: "Mom, I don't come home often. What does it count as to help you cook a meal when I return?"

Guo Suhua entered the kitchen, wanting to help Su Xinghui, but Su Xinghui said: "Mom, I'm almost done. You go out and wait to eat."

Guo Suhua went out to tidy up the dining table, then entered the kitchen to carry dishes, preparing to eat. After Su Xinghui finished cooking, Su Wenjun also returned, and the family of three began to eat.

Guo Suhua asked: "Xinghui, have you bought the house?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Bought it, right on the north bank of Zhong Ming Lake, next to the Fisheries Bureau."

Su Wenjun said: "That place is not bad."

Guo Suhua asked: "How much did you buy it for?"

Su Xinghui said: "Twenty-five thousand."

As he spoke, he took out all the documents and handed them to Guo Suhua, telling her to keep them safe. Guo Suhua said: "That house is how many years old? If you are going to get married in it with Xiaoya, you have to renovate it, right?"

Su Xinghui said: "I've already entrusted Uncle Xu to help me demolish the old house and rebuild a two-story building."

Guo Suhua asked: "How much will that cost?"

Su Xinghui said: "With the current construction, installation, and decoration costs, it probably won't exceed one hundred thousand to get everything done."

"One hundred thousand?" Guo Suhua exclaimed: "That much?"

Su Xinghui laughed: "It's not decided yet, but it probably won't be less than this amount. It's a two-story building with a building area of 280 square meters, plus the courtyard also needs to be renovated. This figure isn't high."

Guo Suhua thought for a while and nodded: "Fine, anyway, this money was earned by you, so I won't interfere. If you want to get married to Miss Xiaoya, you can't wrong her."

Su Wenjun said while eating: "That's right, this kind of thinking of yours is correct. The son is grown up and has his own ideas, so we can't manage his affairs. As long as he doesn't go down the wrong path, it's fine."

Su Xinghui laughed: "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I will never go down the wrong path in my life. Your son has plenty of ability to earn money, so why go down the wrong path? I still want to do more practical things."

Guo Suhua nodded and asked again: "By the way, are you going to get married to Miss Xiaoya after the house is built?"

Su Xinghui said: "Maybe not that fast. Now I'm a first-level leading cadre, and the country advocates late marriage and late childbearing. As a township head, I must set an example, so I have to wait until the late marriage age to get married."

Guo Suhua said: "It's not a good thing that you've been promoted so fast; you still have to marry late and have children late."

Guo Suhua said that, but actually, she didn't take it to heart. In a few months, Su Xinghui would be twenty-four, and the late marriage age was twenty-five, which meant that in another year or so, Su Xinghui would be able to get married, which wasn't considered too late.

Suddenly, Guo Suhua remembered something else and said to Su Xinghui: "When you get married, will Xiaoya still be working in Jiangcheng? Can you transfer her to Shangjun County?"

Su Wenjun said: "You old Guo, Xiaoya is doing well as a reporter now, so why do you want to transfer her to Shangjun County? She also needs to have her own career."

Regarding this question, Su Xinghui had actually thought about it too. If he and Lu Xiaoya got married in the future, they couldn't always live apart. Whether transferring Lu Xiaoya to Shangjun or transferring himself to Jiangcheng would be easy, but both required someone to make a sacrifice.

Transferring Lu Xiaoya to Shangjun County would naturally be a sacrifice. Not to mention that she couldn't engage in her favorite reporter work, just moving from Jiangcheng City to the county was already a big sacrifice.

If Su Xinghui transferred to Jiangcheng City, it looked like it had nothing to do with sacrifice, but in reality, it wasn't what Su Xinghui liked either. With his current level, if he transferred to Jiangcheng City, what could he do? He could only be a small minion, or even an idle position sitting in an office. If he wanted to do some practical things, it would be difficult.

The situation in Jiangcheng City was truly too complex.

By comparison, Su Xinghui actually preferred being this township head. This township, with over 100 square kilometers of land, was like a huge piece of drawing paper that he could splash with his brush to paint the most beautiful picture. In this sense, his being a township head also had something in common with his identity as a painter.

If he were transferred to Jiangcheng City, it would be like owning the most precious small piece of paper, but it would be too small, making his painting feel restricted. It wasn't enjoyable.

In his view, for him to be transferred to Jiangcheng City, unless his future level was high enough to possess a big enough stage for him to splash his brush, otherwise, he would rather stay in the county below.

This question also gave Su Xinghui a headache, but fortunately, they still had at least a year or so before getting married, so they could discuss it slowly. If it really didn't work, living apart like Min Tong and Chen Xiaomeng was also fine. A short separation is better than a new marriage; by then, every reunion of the two would have the same passion as a new marriage.

Su Xinghui said to his mother: "Mom, don't worry, I will discuss this question with Xiaoya."

Guo Suhua said: "Otherwise, you transfer to Jiangcheng and be with Xiaoya, but then we would see less of your days."

Su Wenjun said: "A good man has his ambitions in the four corners of the world; it would be fine if he really transferred to Jiangcheng."

Su Xinghui said: "I don't want to go to Jiangcheng for the time being; staying in Shangjun County allows me to do more things."

Guo Suhua looked at her son with worry. She originally wanted to say something else, but she sighed and didn't speak, picking up her bowl to eat.
