My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 309: Chapter 302: A Father’s Love That Spares Nothing

Well, it’s good that she’s not easily deceived, it also means no one could ill-intentionally trick her that easily.

Tang Yuxin continued to pack her belongings, Tang Zhinian once again took out a set of keys, placing them inside Tang Yuxin’s suitcase.

“Do you remember when your father took you to Beijing, you said you wanted to buy a house?”

“Yes, I remember,” Tang Yuxin took out her clothes and put them directly into the suitcase, not paying any attention to the keys. She had intended to buy a traditional courtyard house on the old street, but it was too expensive at the time. The owner was asking for 150,000, a completely inflated price, and they couldn’t afford it.

She lost interest when she couldn’t afford it, especially after checking out a few other places that didn’t have any courtyards that interested her. Plus, there weren’t any decent houses either, so that trip ended up being a waste. She had no intention of going back a second time.

She later thought about it, deciding to buy a small two-bedroom apartment after college, once she started working.

By the time she graduated, the housing prices in Beijing wouldn’t have risen too much, but getting a courtyard house like she wanted would be a challenge. It’s not something she could afford with her means, even if she had the funds, it would not be available for sale.

“Your father bought the courtyard house you wanted.”

Tang Zhinian spoke with a proud smile.

The clothes Tang Yuxin was arranging fell to the floor.

She quickly took out the set of keys from her suitcase.

“Dad, is this true?”

Tang Yuxin was about to bite the key to see if it was real, then realized it was not made of gold, it was just a key.

But wasn’t it gold after all? Having a courtyard house in a place like Beijing gave a sense of tranquility no high-rise could match.

There would be wind, grass, trees, flowers, and birds.

She could smell the flowers in the courtyard, listen to the birds chirping in the morning, collect rainwater dripping down from the eaves on a rainy day, even build a snowman when it snowed. She could run around freely in the courtyard without worrying about disturbing the neighbors above and below.

Tang Zhinian gently stroked his daughter’s head, feeling that buying the house had been the right decision.

Even though it was expensive and he was frustrated by the inflated price, it was the first time his little Yuxin had actively asked him for something. Although it meant nearly draining all his savings, he finally made up his mind and bought it for his daughter.

Only now did he realize how right his decision had been.

He had heard that those old houses had been classified as cultural relics, protected by the state. Even if one wanted to buy them, they were not for sale, and if they were, the price would be over a million. Tang Zhinian had no idea that in a few years, it would not be a place where anyone could afford to live, even with millions.

Beijing was truly a place where every inch of soil was worth its weight in gold.

Even Ren Li said that he was crazy to have spent every penny he had back then, even borrowing from his own brothers, just to buy a beautiful, yet seemingly useless house. This was not typical of Tang Zhinian, he wasn’t known for making such high-risk investments, especially when it involved his younger brother’s portion too.

As for why Tang Zhinian did it – it was due to fatherly love, unconditional love. As long as his daughter wanted it, even if it meant selling everything he had, he would make it happen.

Ren Li knew that, in Tang Zhinian’s heart, Tang Yuxin held the first place, while she and Little Chengcheng were second and third. But having such a place in his heart was satisfying enough for her.

Of course, the house in Beijing was her daughter’s dowry from Tang Zhinian. She wasn’t expecting anything else, besides, she didn’t like Beijing. She would make sure her son, Little Chengcheng, had a great dowry in the future.

Even on the train, Tang Yuxin couldn’t quite believe she held the keys to her own courtyard house in Beijing. She was still stunned that her father had actually bought it for her, a cultural heritage property that would be worth millions in the future and not available for sale no matter how much money one had.

Was she dreaming?

A house that was worth 150,000 back then, now had gone up in value by more than tenfold. With almost the same amount of money, they had managed to acquire the best plot of land in Qing’an, where they were building a high rise.

Her father had truly given her a big surprise, a very big surprise indeed.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lin Yile waved her hand in front of Tang Yuxin, “Why are you so thoughtful once on the train? Are you thinking about Chengcheng? I miss him too.”

Lin Yile laid her head down on the table, “I want to touch his chubby little hands and feet, hear him call me ‘sister’. My little brother, why is he so cute?”

“Because he’s my little brother,” Tang Yuxin put her keys away, planning to take a look when she had time. She hadn’t been there for several years, I wonder if it’s already covered in dust?

Lin Yile didn’t argue any further with Tang Yuxin. After all, he was Tang Yuxin’s biological brother, and of course, her foster brother.

But it doesn’t matter, a brother is a brother just the same.

The train continued to move forward, the sound of the train driving could be heard far off in the distance.

The journey from Qing’an to Beijing took at least two days and two nights. After the special trains are introduced, the journey could be shortened to about thirty hours. And even faster in the future, down to just a few hours by air.

However, currently, there were no direct flights from Qing’an to Beijing, nor high-speed rails.

So for now, they were limited to taking a two-day and two-night train ride. As they travel this path over the next three years, they would have time to contemplate.

After they arrived at the station, Lin Yile tiredly pulled her suitcase off the train. The long train journey had almost broken her back.
