"Tell me about your situation. Do you want to go to No. 1 Middle School or No. 4 Middle School?"
Xiao Qiang pouted: "Whatever you want, I don't care!"
Xiao Ning thought for a moment and said, "I heard that No. 1 Middle School's academic performance has been a bit better than No. 4 Middle School's in recent years, but No. 4 Middle School has a more rigorous academic atmosphere. Otherwise, why don't you go to No. 4 Middle School? Qiangqiang, what do you think?"
Xiao Qiang shrugged: "Whatever you say goes!"
"But bro, are you really planning to buy a house? Where are you getting the money?"
Xiao Ning chuckled and said, "My money is definitely from a legitimate source. I don't steal or rob, so you can rest assured!"
"Once you're discharged from the hospital, I'll take you to look at houses, how about it?"
Xiao Qiang narrowed her eyes, revealing crescent moons: "Great, great! I want to pick out a house I like. Brother, you'll save me a room, right?"
"That's for sure. I'm going to buy a really big house and bring Grandpa and Grandma to the city. Our little princess Qiangqiang will definitely have a room. You can choose the room first. Whichever one you like, it's yours!"
Xiao Ning nodded solemnly: "What do you think?"
"That's great!" Xiao Qiang exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly. "I want to choose a big room and buy lots and lots of dolls to fill the room!"
Xiao Ning nodded: "Okay, whatever you say!"
"Yay! Long live the big brother!" Xiao Qiang cheered excitedly.

Chapter 22 Nine-Turn Bear Snake Pill
Buy a house.
This is a major event that modern Chinese people have long dreamed of.
It can be said that for Chinese people, a house is their root.
Countless people have spent decades humbling themselves, compromising, and living in fear in order to buy a house of their own. They dare not change jobs easily, save every penny, and work three or five jobs.
Many families have to grit their teeth and take out the savings of three generations to make a so-called down payment for a house of no more than 100 square meters in order to help their young men get married.
Don't they have houses in the countryside?
No, that's not the case.
On the contrary, with the implementation of the new rural construction project in China, many rural areas have been built to be more refined and comfortable than those in the city.
Whether in terms of surrounding environment, housing size, or neighborly relations, the city is not as good as the countryside.
But reality is just that magical!
In modern times, young people without a house in the city are equated with "poor", "incompetent", and "good-for-nothing". It's difficult for them to even find a girlfriend, let alone get married.
In recent years, many young people have developed a fear of marriage or have vowed never to marry, which is not unrelated to housing prices.
...
Upon learning that her older brother Xiao Ning was about to buy a house, Xiao Qiang excitedly shouted and cheered, filling the ward with a vibrant and youthful atmosphere.
After a while, when the nurse came to remove the IV, she told Xiao Ning that she had asked the doctor and that Xiao Qiang could be discharged the next afternoon after finishing her IV drip.
"Thank you, Miss!" Xiao Ning naturally expressed her gratitude.
The nurse waved her hand and said, "No need to thank me, handsome! If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work now!"
Even so, his eyes remained fixed on Xiao Ning, as if he could stay and chat with him longer if Xiao Ning asked him to stay.
Xiao Ning casually replied, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I won't bother you any longer!"
"Oh, okay! I'm leaving now!" The nurse walked out of the ward, looking back several times as she left.
After the nurse left, Xiao Ning checked her phone. It was already past five in the afternoon, and the sky outside was gradually getting dark.
He looked at Xiao Qiang and asked, "Qiangqiang, it's getting dark. What would you like to eat? I'll go downstairs and buy it for you, okay?"
"Dinner? Sure!"
Xiao Qiang looked excited and gestured with her hands, saying, "I heard Yan Yan say that the chopped chili fish head and spicy duck are delicious. Brother, I want to try these two dishes, is that alright?"
"Steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers? Three kinds of duck?"
Xiao Ning frowned: "Qiangqiang, both of these dishes are very spicy, and the flavors are very strong!"
"I'm wondering if it will affect your injuries?"
"How about we pick some light dishes? After you've recovered from your injury, I'll take you to eat all the delicious food in Linjiang, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiang's face immediately showed displeasure. She wrinkled her nose and said in a low voice, "Then it's a deal! After my facial injury heals, I'm going to have a feast! I'll eat my way through Linjiang County! Brother, don't lie to me!"
Xiao Ning laughed heartily: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you!"
"Is it a deal?" Xiao Qiang blinked and raised a hand.
Xiao Ning gave her a high five and said, "A man's word is his bond!"
Xiao Qiang smiled happily and said, "Then let's just eat whatever we want today, brother, you can buy whatever you think is best!"
"Okay! Wait here for a bit, I'll be right back!"
Xiao Ning stood up, greeted someone, and then left the ward.
After going downstairs and exiting through the back door of the hospital, Xiao Ning found herself in front of a food street.
