Chapter 179 Returning to the Northwest for Another Look

That evening, they stayed at Sister Wang's house and chatted in the yard after dinner.

Sister Wang advised, "In my opinion, you should choose the new house. The house prices in Beijing are changing every day. This new house will definitely appreciate in value in the future, and you'll also have a place to stay when you come to Beijing for business."

The money looks like a lot, but who knows how much the house will be worth in the future?

Having a house in your hands means you can at least see and touch it.

Unlike others, it is invisible and intangible.

Money is money, but the items are here; they can't just disappear, can they?
Liang Yi frowned and pondered: "But we are mainly developing in the south now, so it would be a waste to leave the new house empty. If we rent it out, we will have to take care of it."

An Min nodded in agreement: "Moreover, the funds we have were originally intended to be used to expand the scale of our Shenzhen branch. If we use them to make up for the price difference of the new house, it may affect the company's plans."

The couple spent the whole night thinking about it, and the next day they went to the demolition office to inquire in detail about the location and facilities of the new house.

Staff explained that a key school and a large shopping mall are to be built next to the new residential area in the suburbs.

The future transportation system will also see the opening of new subway lines, indicating great development potential.

An Min gradually formed an idea in her mind, and she told Liang Yi about it.

"How about we choose a new house? Think about it, when our child goes to high school, the educational resources in Beijing are so good. If there's an opportunity in the future, it would be great to let him study in Beijing."

"Moreover, we can postpone the expansion plan of the Shenzhen branch and settle the housing issue first, which can also be regarded as leaving more security for the family."

Looking at An Min's serious expression, Liang Yi nodded: "You're right. Money can be earned anytime, but such a good opportunity is rare."

“Let’s choose the new house. It will be convenient whether it’s for the children or for us to stay in occasionally.”

After deciding on their choice, they quickly signed the demolition contract.

Before leaving Beijing, Sister Wang specially prepared a table of dishes to send them off, and said with a smile, "From now on, you will all own houses in Beijing, so you must come back to visit often."

Anmin smiled and agreed, her heart filled with anticipation for the future.

After returning to the South, Anmin and Liang Yi told Si'an and Shouye about the demolition and relocation. The children jumped up excitedly: "Really? Does that mean we can go to high school in Beijing?"

Seeing the expectant looks in her daughter and son's eyes, Anmin patted their heads.

"As long as you work hard, you will definitely have opportunities in the future."

As for his household registration, thanks to Liang Yi's previous work at the research institute, he has a household registration in Beijing.

At this moment, the couple had no idea what kind of wealth that house would bring them in the future.

Days passed, and the new house was soon completed.

Anmin and Liang Yi took advantage of the weekend to go to Beijing to take possession of their new house. They were overjoyed to see the spacious and bright new home.

They even hired a designer to decorate the house according to their preferred style, making it warm and comfortable.

At the same time, the company's development is also booming.

Lin Xiaoyan successfully secured a partnership with an American client, bringing the company a large order.

Wang Jianjun optimized the company's financial processes, making cash flow smoother.

Anmin and Liang Yi felt gratified as they watched their company prosper and their family life become increasingly happy.

The two had weathered many storms together for most of their lives. One day, Anmin suddenly remembered something in her sleep.

She woke up abruptly, looked at Liang Yi, and reached out to shake him.

Liang Yi opened his eyes, noticed his wife's expression, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Liang Yi, I want to go back to the Northwest."

This statement startled Liang Yi; he had thought An Min was going to say that they were going to Haicheng.

“We’ve been busy for half our lives and never had any time for ourselves. Now that our children are grown up, I want to go back to the Northwest.”

An Min's tone was somewhat coquettish, and Liang Yi sat up and turned on the lamp next to him.

Si'an got into an American university last year and went abroad. Shouye went to university in Beijing, so neither of the two children are with them now.

Anmin suddenly went from being a very busy person to having nothing to do.

Two years ago, Zhang Jianguo and Li Hongmei moved their entire family to Ireland, saying that the climate there was mild and they liked it there.

The factory in the south was sold to Liang Yi and merged into their company to start new businesses.

Over the years, they did make some friends here, but gradually, they all went to other places to develop their careers.

The reform and opening-up policy made them among the first people in the country to become wealthy.

But with so many people suddenly gone, Anmin inevitably felt lonely.

"Alright, then let's revisit this place and head to the Northwest!"

Liang Yi reached out and put his arm around his wife's shoulder, then took her hand.

The Northwest was where they met, and everything started there.

An Min leaned on Liang Yi's shoulder, her eyes quietly welling up with tears.

The moonlight shone through the window, casting a hazy silver glow on the floor.

The next morning, the two began packing their luggage.

Anmin pulled out a dress from the bottom of the wardrobe. It was the dress she wore when she first arrived in the Northwest. The cuffs and hem were frayed, but she had washed it clean.

Now, there are already more stylish and beautiful dresses on the streets.

Ke Anmin still prefers this one.

Liang Yi looked at the clothes and couldn't help but laugh: "You still kept this? When I first met you, I even said that you were..."

Anmin laughed too, and glared at him.

"Yeah, back then, our Commander Liang even said I was some kind of delicate girl and that he wouldn't marry me."

"Back then, who would have thought that we could travel from the Northwest to the South and even own a house in the capital?"

She neatly folded the skirt and put it in her suitcase, then stuffed a lot more things inside.

What's available in the South, it definitely isn't in the Northwest.

If you meet an old friend, you should bring these things to give to your friend.

Speaking of friends, Anmin thought of Director Yang and Political Commissar Xu, wondering how they were doing after all these years.

And there's Sister Chunli from Baiyanggou, and Sister Zhang...

A week later, the two boarded a train bound for the Northwest.

The train slowly pulled out of the bustling southern city, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed.

Skyscrapers have been replaced by low-rise bungalows, and lush green rice paddies have been transformed into vast loess slopes.

Anmin leaned against the car window, staring intently outside.

Those familiar scenes flashed before her eyes like movie clips, making her heart beat faster.

More than ten hours later, the train finally arrived at the station.

As An Min stepped out of the station, she immediately spotted Li Weiguo holding a sign on the platform.

Those were Liang Yi's comrades-in-arms in Northwest China, who later stayed in the area and worked in the government.

"Commander Liang! Sister-in-law!"

Li Weiguo strode over, gripped their hands firmly, and smiled broadly across his dark face.

"We've been waiting for you! I already told my family that you'd be staying at my place for the next few days so we can have a good chat!"
