Eight hundred thousand. Down payment wouldbe one hundred and
sixty thousand. Closing his eyes,Mr. Na started to work out the
numbers in his head.
"Dad, forget about the house. I''m in no rush, I''mhappy
renting."
"I wasn''t saying anything. You try to get off earlyand
eat."
"Okay, I''m hanging up now."
Mr. Na slowly put down the handset and let out along sigh,
looking around his little apartment. With-out his help, how could
his son ever be able to buy anapartment? Without an apartment, how
could lus songet married? The sixty square-meter
two-bedroomapartment in which Mr. Na currently lived was old,but it
was in a great location. It would be worth about120,000 yuan on the
local housing market. That, plushis savings, should be enough for a
down payment onhis son''s future apartment. Mr. Na suddenly felt
hiswhole body lighten, and he was no longer dizzy. Hedecided to
tell his wife about his decision to sell theapartment.
"My dear, I''ve got something to tell you... Junioris in Beijing
by himself... The housing price there isOut of control... He needs
his own place in order toget married in the future... So I want...
I want to sellour apartment and use the money to help him buyan
apartment in Beijing, though it might not be asbig as this one...
One has to have a place to live first,before he can enjoy his
career, right? What did yousay? Where am I going to live ifl sell
this apartment?Oh, I have it all planned out. With my monthly
pen-sion over a thousand yuan, I can afford to rent a
smallapartment. What more do I need? As long as I am notexposed to
the winds or rains, it''s good enough for me,don''t you agree? My
health is... it''s all right. Didn''tfeel very well these past coupe
of days, probably dueto lack of sleep... Our son is doing pretty
well. He justcalled... I can read his articles now... He was
surprisedand thought my student told me the story... My dear,I''ll
tell you the truth, I went through his article wordby word... I
haven''t worked so hard in yearsl,.. Am Itired? Well, truthfully, a
ittle bit... But I was so glad!Being able to read his article made
me feel he wasnearby... nearby... My dear, don''t you worry about
meover there... I am okay, just a bit dizzy these days... Itwill
pass once I''ve had some rest... Well, my dear, it''ssettled then. I
will start to arrange for the sale tomor-row morning... Now I am
tired and going to get somesleep... I will let you know how things
go once I amdone tomorrow...".
