In the second half of the year, the house price of the flower market suddenly changed and grew rapidly. Yang Zhi's two-thousand-one-square-meter house grew to more than three thousand. One day, Lin Ling, a lady in the sales department, called him and said, your house is for sale, I will give you three thousand, and you have made a net profit of 100,000 fast money. When Yang Zhi heard her say that, his heart was surprised and happy, obedient, fortunately, he shot early and could not afford to buy it late.

House prices have risen, so let's hurry up and decorate it. Yang Zhi and the decorator Ah Lai have an agreement that the house must be renovated before May Day of the next year, and there must be no mistakes. Ah Lai is Yang Zhifa small, originally a trickster, a few years later, mixed into a contract foreman.

That year Yang Zhi's birthday was in a good mood, which was very different from previous years, first she received a birthday gift from Snowflake in the morning, and at noon she took advantage of Yang Zhi's lunch break to call a warm and pulsed voice greeting, and then Shen Yueyue Ai Hongmei blossoms also came to text messages to congratulate, and Yang Zhi left the phone and wrote "I love you" with chalk on the ship accessories around him.

Xu You graduated from high school and learned to weld and go out to work, the cultural level is very good, and Hang Jian is just a junior high school student, before coming to Jiangnan to break into the rivers and lakes, he wandered in his hometown village and shouted "which one sells trees".

That night, Liu Ping did not work overtime. Mei Hua and Shen Yueyue also followed. Yang Zhi rolled out two axes of egg noodles, burned fish and meat, made an exception and bought a few cold dishes, and a bottle of liquor was finished by a few people.

After dinner, Yang Zhi Liu Ping accompanied Meihua Shen Yueyue to the Golden Boy Bridge for a walk, chatted while walking, and sent the plum blossoms to the west of Gaoqiao, and the couple returned to the rental house to rest.
