Chapter 873: Chapter 487 Not a Dilapidated House_2

For a "third wheel", this feeling couldn’t have been more bittersweet.

Fortunately, there were things she was carrying that provided the beautiful scholar a sliver of comfort.

"Shall we go out for Western food tonight? We’ve been running around all afternoon, and it’s quite a hassle to cook," Bai Xiaobin, whose attention had been drawn away from the first girl of Xu family by Xu Yue’s voice, suggested, seeing her listless appearance.

Xu Yue, who had felt a bit down all afternoon, suddenly perked up, "Western food? Where? I hear the portions are pretty small at Western restaurants, and I’m so hungry I could eat a whole cow right now. Will it be enough?"

She was planning to comfort her wounded soul with delicious food.

"Let’s not. Western food is a waste of money," the first girl of Xu family disagreed. "Let’s go home and whip something up, anything simple will do. We can also take a look at Laosan’s new house..."

Yan Xiaofei and Yan Fei didn’t offer any opinions, just watched as Xu Yue complained with a grievance on her face, "I’ve never even tried Western food!"

The first girl of Xu family ignored her grievances, glanced at the bags in her hand, and then at Yan Xiaofei and Yan Fei, who were looking lively behind her, "We’ll eat at home! Laosan will cook..."

"Alright then!" Xu Yue’s foodie plans were dashed, and she turned to Yan Xiaofei. "Laosan, do you have anything tasty at home? Should we go buy some groceries?"

Before Yan Xiaofei could answer, Laoda spoke up again, "Why buy anything? We just make whatever we have at home. Don’t tell me you two haven’t even stocked up on food in your new place?"

Yan Xiaofei thought about her kitchen at home, which Yan Fei had recently replenished with supplies, and felt that if they bought anything more, they could only store it in the yard. She nodded and pushed Yan Fei a bit, "Lead the way, my sister hasn’t visited our place yet!"

Xu Yue was a bit skeptical, "Really don’t need to buy anything? Isn’t your house newly built? Is everything really ready?"

Yan Xiaofei raised the things in her hand, "Just short of these items, we’ve got everything else."

In her hand were some cheesecloths meant to cover food. They truly were not lacking anything else; Yan Fei had prepared everything meticulously, even several kitchen knives in case the young lady could not sharpen them herself...

Bai Xiaobin, ever curious, joked, "Xiao Xing, do you two also have a house in Provincial City? Houses here are not cheap now, a decent place costs thousands per square meter. Who would have thought? Yan Fei is quite the little tycoon!"

Yan Xiaofei humbly replied, "We didn’t buy a commercial house. It was originally a plot of land given to Yan Fei by an Agricultural University professor he helped, and then he built the house himself."

Bai Xiaobin immediately "understood" and said no more.

As they chatted, they crossed the street and arrived next to the experimental field. After walking a bit further past a few plastic greenhouses, they could see the house in the distance. Yan Xiaofei was about to introduce everyone when Bai Xiaobin beat her to it, "See that house over there? There are so many wealthy people in Provincial City now. Someone built an ancient-style villa right there. Never mind the house, even the ornamental trees are not cheap."

This man really had substantial knowledge, "I specifically came here with a friend to see it last time. See those odd-looking trees over there? I looked them up afterward, they’re called Duijie Trees, and we don’t have them in our province. Not to talk about how much the trees cost, just the shipping fees to get them here would be..."

Bai Xiaobin was quite experienced and exceptional among young people, as most students usually wouldn’t come into contact with such things as property prices, oil prices, and transportation, all of which he knew.

He was absolutely right; never mind the oil prices, which were expensive at any time, one look at the current level of prices and nobody could call them cheap. Not to mention the countless toll stations on the roads, and if these trees were really transported by trucks, they would all be oversized in height, width, and length...

Anyone with a bit of knowledge about transportation would know it was no easy feat to bring these items thousands of miles to this place.

The more one knew about these things, the more they understood the ordeal Yan Fei faced by bringing these trees here, which even surprised the well-informed Boss Wang initially.

Miss Xu Xiaoyan was an honest person, and besides, Bai Xiaobin, apart from being a bit boastful, was not bad otherwise. So she promptly cut him off, "Those trees were all Yan Xiaofei’s doing, he just enjoys making big fuss over things for fun. Honestly, I think it would have been nice to plant some fruit trees in the yard. Without a word, he brought these trees which are neither edible nor drinkable..."

"Uh..."

Bai Xiaobin was a bit bewildered, wasn’t it said that this young man had set up a small cattle farm at home, with just a few cows? Why did it sound like the house was his? He had thought they were just given some land and they had hired someone to build a few tile houses, or at most a small building!

Xu Yue didn’t think too much about it but was also slightly surprised, "Laosan, you’re not saying that house belongs to Yan Xiaofei, right? Didn’t you say someone gave you some land and you had someone build a house on it?"
