In their small third or fourth-tier city, not many people could truly afford such expensive housing. Many of the properties were owned by outsiders, with fewer locals.
The security guard, after seeing Liu Yifeng's purchase contract and house key, and confirming with the sales office via phone, finally let them pass.
The security here was quite strict, requiring confirmation before allowing anyone into the villa complex.
Arriving at the location, Tong Tong guessed what his dad's surprise was: "Dad, did you buy a big house?"
"Yes, Dad bought a big house. From now on, if Tong Tong wants to live here, we'll live here. If you want to go to the countryside, we'll go to the countryside to live. How about that?"
"Hooray! Dad, you're amazing! Not only did you buy a new car, but now a new house. You're truly incredible." Tong Tong immediately showered him with praise.
Liu Yifeng felt a bit embarrassed: "Tong Tong, Dad has to thank you for all of this. If it weren't for you, Dad wouldn't have been able to buy both a car and a house in such a short time. You are Dad's benefactor, here to repay his kindness."
He always knew that everything he had today was given to him by Tong Tong, so besides deep fatherly love, he also felt gratitude towards him.
"Tong Tong is your son. Everything I do is natural. Besides, it's all Dad who's been busy. I just need to open my mouth," Tong Tong didn't want his dad to feel indebted to him, so he didn't claim all the credit for himself.
Father and son chatted as they walked towards Villa Unit 1, Building 36.
The villa's gate was also locked. Liu Yifeng got out of the car and directly used his key to open the main gate before driving the car inside.
This was Tong Tong's first time seeing their new house, and he excitedly looked around.
Every time he saw something novel, he would let out genuine exclamations.
"Tong Tong, do you like this house?" Liu Yifeng asked.
Tong Tong vigorously shook his head: "I like it! Dad, this house is so big! It's so much bigger than the house Tong Tong lived in before!"
Seeing him earnestly gesturing with his hands, Liu Yifeng's mood brightened: "Come on, Dad will take you to see your room!"
The house had both a princess room and a prince room, all decorated according to the children's preferences.
He was sure Tong Tong would love it once he saw it.
Then, he pulled Tong Tong's hand upstairs to Tong Tong's room. The walls of Tong Tong's room were painted a sea blue.
The bedsheets were also blue, with a whale pattern.
The wall behind the headboard featured planets and space exploration, with a secret base in a spaceship.
Even the desk for homework had a globe on it, making it feel like stepping into a realm of stars and the sea, incredibly dreamlike.
As soon as Tong Tong entered, he was captivated by the decor, staring at his room with wide eyes.
Seeing Tong Tong reluctant to even blink, Liu Yifeng didn't want to interrupt him.
Tong Tong walked step by step into the spaceship: "Wow, Dad, there are spacesuits here too!"
Liu Yifeng had only had a brief look at Tong Tong's room last time, not a detailed one.
He hadn't expected the spaceship to be so fully equipped, making it feel like one had truly entered a spaceship, filled with high-tech items.
"Tong Tong, do you like this spaceship?"
"I love it, I love it so much! From now on, I want to take Dad to a real spaceship, to outer space, okay?" Tong Tong asked.
Liu Yifeng didn't dismiss it as a joke. He believed Tong Tong's words and that he would follow through.
"Okay, then Dad will wait for that day!" If there was a real chance to go to outer space, he would certainly not miss it.
He also knew that going to outer space required all sorts of training and had very high physical demands; it wasn't something one could just decide to do.
But since Tong Tong said he could take him, he must have a way to overcome those challenges, which made him incredibly look forward to that day.
After seeing his room, Tong Tong reluctantly went to the third floor.
This was an empty room, but it was very large: "Tong Tong, Dad plans to build a children's playground here for you. Whatever you want, Dad will put it in for you."
"I want an inflatable castle, and a game console, and lots and lots of building blocks, is that okay?" Tong Tong asked.
Liu Yifeng smiled and nodded: "Of course! Whatever Tong Tong wants, Dad will give you anything!"
"But many of my classmates say their parents don't buy them game consoles, or let them play with them. On weekends, they take them to various cram schools to study. Aren't you afraid that playing will affect my studies?" Tong Tong asked, confused.
Liu Yifeng rubbed his little head: "How others educate their children is up to them. Dad doesn't care.
But Dad hopes you are happy and joyful.
Grades are far less important than a happy childhood. Moreover, Dad believes that Tong Tong will not let his studies decline because of playing. You are the smartest child in the world.
Even if your grades drop one day, Dad won't be angry. Happiness is the most important thing!"
After hearing this, Tong Tong hugged Liu Yifeng's leg: "Thank you, Dad! I love you!"
Liu Yifeng immediately picked him up: "We've finished looking at the house. Should we go home now?
Don't tell Grandpa about the house yet. We'll give him a surprise on Saturday, okay?"
"Okay! Grandpa will be very happy when he sees it."
After locking the villa gate, Liu Yifeng took Tong Tong back.
"Yifeng, why did you come back in a minivan? Where's the new sedan?" Liu Chunsheng asked, looking at the father and son getting out of the car.
Liu Yifeng didn't tell the truth and made up an excuse: "Dad, my car was borrowed by a friend. He should return it in two or three days."
"Is your friend reliable? What if he borrows it and you can't find him."
"He's definitely reliable, don't worry. My car has GPS tracking; even if he drives it abroad, I can find it."
Hearing this, Liu Chunsheng was relieved: "That's good. But you should still remind him to drive safely, it's a new car, he should take care of it."
Liu Yifeng nodded: "I know. He's an experienced driver, much better than me. He'll be fine."
"Alright, I'm going to your third uncle's house. He just called me. He said Kai Chen came back at noon and bought a lot of tonics. He wants me to pick some up because he can't eat them all himself."
"Then take some pomelos. I guess Uncle's pomelos are almost gone."
After his dad left, Liu Yifeng suddenly remembered something: "Tong Tong, in the daytime, I actually lifted the truck. My strength suddenly became so great, is it because I ate the Heart Protecting Pill?"
"Yes, the Heart Protecting Pill also has the effect of strengthening the body and making one immensely strong.
In the future, if Dad has to fight with someone, make sure to control your strength, or you might kill them with one punch," Tong Tong reminded him.
Liu Yifeng, upon hearing how strong he had become, went to the water vat out of curiosity.
Although the water vat was empty and usually used for pickling cabbage, it still weighed about seventy catties.
He gripped the vat's opening with one hand, gathered his strength, and exerted all his might. He expected it to be quite strenuous to lift.
To his surprise, he lifted the seventy-catty water vat with one hand effortlessly, almost stumbling as a result.
