Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 94 Mr. Ran's Home Visit
Yi Weidong and Song Chunfang chatted and laughed a few words,

After saying goodbye, I rode a tricycle to the outside of Deshengmen and started looking for a rental apartment.
It's just that this is an important traffic road.
After inquiring for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable place.

Yi Weidong just wanted to find a remote private courtyard,
There are many rental houses, but unfortunately none of them meet Yi Weidong's requirements.

When we got back to the courtyard, it was already dark,

Before entering the house, Yan Jiedi followed with her book in her arms.
Yi Weidong asked: "Xie Di, have you finished reading the novel so soon? If you delay your study, the third master will not spare me."

Yan Jiedi smiled and said, "My father seems to be very scary. Return the book to you, and I will borrow the second one."

Yi Weidong gave Yan Jiedi the second copy of A Dream of Red Mansions,
Yan Jiedi took it over and said, "Yi Weidong, I have some news for you. Teacher Ran will come to visit your home tomorrow."

"Teacher Ran? Visit me at home?"

Yi Weidong asked in surprise.

Yan Jiedi nodded and said, "Yes, after school, Teacher Ran asked my dad for your address, or should I tell Teacher Ran your address!"

Teacher Ran made a home visit to Yi Weidong,

What could be the matter?
Yi Weidong was a little puzzled,
It's still early for the final exam.
Could it be that I did too well in the last exam?
"Thank you, Xie Di."

Yi Weidong used his unique trick,
He took out a toffee from his pocket and said:
"I'll give you a toffee."

"Is it really for me? This one costs four cents!"

Yan Jiedi looked like she wanted to take it but was too embarrassed to take it.

Yi Weidong took Yan Jiedi's little hand, stuffed the toffee into it, and said:
"Why are you being polite to me, I'll take it for you."

"Thank you Weidong!"

After sending Yan Jiedi away, Yi Weidong added coal to the stove,

Silly Zhu came over and said, "Weidong, we don't need to cook when we eat dumplings at Grandpa's house today."

Eating a meal of dumplings at this time is like Chinese New Year,
Uncle and aunt really put their heart into it.

"Okay, let's go and help make dumplings. By the way, old lady, have you gone?"

Yi Weidong finished his return today,
Haven't checked out the backyard yet!
"I've already delivered the leftovers, Lou Xiao'e can just reheat the dishes later."

Yi Weidong also told about Teacher Ran's home visit tomorrow,

Tell Silly Zhu to clean up tomorrow,
Put on clean clothes,
Sha Zhu was puzzled and said, "I'm visiting you, what clothes should I change into?"

Yi Weidong said: "Teacher Ran is young and beautiful, and has no date yet!"

"Really?" Silly Zhu said with a smile: "Then I should tidy myself up so as not to embarrass you in front of the teacher."

Yi Weidong rolled his eyes at Silly Zhu,
I heard that it was a young and beautiful single female teacher,

Silly Zhu immediately changed his attitude,

I don't even want to make dumplings.
Ask about Ran Qiuye's situation,

Yi Weidong told Shazhu everything he knew,
Then we closed the door and went to the uncle's house together.

After entering the house, the first mother is meeting with each other.

The uncle greeted and sat down,
Yi Weidong made tea for him,

Seeing that Shazhu was always cheerful, the uncle asked:

"Zhuzi, what are you so happy about?"

Sha Zhu restrained his expression a little and said:

"Master, am I happy to eat dumplings?"

The uncle obviously didn't believe Shazhu's nonsense,

But see silly Zhu do not want to say,

Or off topic,

Chatted about other things.

In just a few words, we chatted about Sha Zhu's introduction of the object,
Yi Weidong took the opportunity to say:
"My brother started saving money this month, so he will have money in hand when he gets married."

The old man said: "Saving money is a good thing, but if you are short of money when you get married, please tell us and take the money first and use it."

The first mother also said: "Yes, Zhuzi, if you are in love with a girl, you should settle down first. I don't know what's going on with you. In the end, the match didn't work out."

Aunt reconciled, Shazhu started to perform,

Roll out two dumpling wrappers with one hand,

Both Yi Weidong and Da Ma couldn't wrap up with the skin rolled by Sha Zhu.

After eating dumplings stuffed with spicy radish and pork, Sha Zhu said after returning:
"Uncle has used up all the rationed meat, but the dumplings made by aunt are really delicious."

"It's okay, I still have some meat, I'll send some over there tomorrow."

After Yi Weidong finished speaking, he exhorted:

"Don't forget about Teacher Ran's home visit tomorrow."

Sha Zhu said: "Don't worry, I will be ready tomorrow."

After waking up early the next day,
Yi Weidong left the yard before dawn,
Against the howling north wind, I came to the black market of Lama Temple,
Go to Wei Laosan directly and say:

"Old Wei, change your watch."

Only then did Wei Laosan realize that it was his big client who came,
Pulling Yi Weidong to the wall,
Pulled out bundles of bills,
The two have met many times.
After counting, Yi Weidong sent 5 Shanghai watches,
In tacit agreement, each turned around and left,
Yi Weidong has already passed the stage where he still needs to sell goods on the black market.
The money in my hand is seven or eight thousand,
Just come periodically to buy some notes,
I often eat some good extra meals,
I also need to buy some canned snacks for He Yushui and Qin Xiayue,

No matter how many bills Yi Weidong has, he will always feel that they are not enough.

I always want to save some supplies.
Lest you have money but can't buy goods when you get it.

After leaving the black market, Yi Weidong started to go shopping.

From Ditan Park to the west, take Yongding Front Street and start wandering in various alleys.
I searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable place.

Yi Weidong gradually became anxious,

Seeing that it's already noon, we can only find a state-run restaurant to pay a visit to the Wu Zang Temple.

I ordered a portion of Mushu pork for only ninety-five cents, plus two big white steamed buns,

After paying the money and tickets, the conversation on the table next to him caught Yi Weidong's attention,

"Have you heard? Old Feng's yard is going to be sold."

"The place is big enough, it's two acres small, but the location is too far away, who would buy that place!"

"Yeah, let's drink."

Yi Weidong suddenly became interested,
The location is remote and the yard is big enough to meet Yi Weidong's needs.

Yi Weidong walked up to him and said, "Two comrades, where is the location of the old Feng's yard you mentioned? Would you like to rent it out?"

The first one said, "It's just to the west of Guanxiang. The yard is in the woods. I don't know if you rent it or not."

"Thank you, comrade." Yi Weidong said sincerely.

After Yi Weidong ate his meals, he walked west along Yongjin Road,
Across Deshengmenwai Street is Guanxiang Station.

Going west along the path, you left Zhuangzi, and after a short walk, you will find Lao Feng's yard.

This is a farmyard with two entrances.

There are small forests to the west and north, very quiet,

There is a small fish pond separated from the east residence,

The location is remote and the way out is convenient, which is enough to meet Yi Weidong's needs.

When I came to the front, there was a piece of red paper pasted outside the gate, saying it was for sale.

The following is to contact the customs box brigade.

Yi Weidong thought for a while, like the two houses in Shazhu in the city are about two hundred,
There is a certain fluctuation according to the geographical location,

Although the yard is large enough, its location is too remote.

It is estimated that it can be won for only a few hundred dollars.

The land in the suburbs is worthless, and only houses in the city can be sold for a high price.

He turned around and inquired to find the brigade headquarters, and rang Secretary Zhou's office.

"Please come in."

After Yi Weidong came in, he handed the front door to Secretary Zhou, who had already bald, and said:

"Hello Secretary Zhou, I want to inquire, is the old Feng's yard on the west side for rent?"

"Rent? That's not okay. Old Feng just wants to sell it. His son has found a job in the city and wants to sell the house and settle down in the city."

The Xieji Zhou Shuji said while exhaling smoke rings.

"Isn't this the brigade's house?" Yi Weidong asked.

"That's not true. Old Feng just entrusted our team headquarters to sell it for 600 yuan."

As long as 600 yuan, it seems not too expensive,

As long as you take a few watches, you can change a house,

I bought more than [-] tickets this morning.

Yi Weidong asked, "Can I go and see the house?"

"Of course." Secretary Zhou heard that Yi Weidong was willing to buy,

Introduced enthusiastically: "Old Feng's house is only about ten years old, and it's still new. The furniture inside is all included."

Secretary Zhou said, taking out a bunch of keys from the drawer under the desk,
He said generously: "Go and see the yard yourself, I have something to do and I can't leave."

Yi Weidong took the key and left the brigade headquarters, still a little dazed,

It's too easy to get the key,

In fact, Yi Weidong also decided to buy the house without showing the key.

The land in the third ring road is not at a disadvantage when you buy it.

What's more, Yi Weidong has to be a warehouse to prepare goods for Wang Zhiguo,

The money for a trip will earn back the money for the house.

Yi Weidong rode his bicycle to the yard,
Entered the yard, looked around,
The house is in good condition, with basic furniture,
The main house has three rooms, and the wing rooms are complete.

There is a relatively large vegetable field at the back.
Yi Weidong is already very satisfied with this house,
Take out 600 yuan from the space and put it in the satchel,
Returned to the brigade headquarters and entered Secretary Zhou's office,

Secretary Zhou asked directly:
"How does the little comrade look?"

Yi Weidong said: "The house is not bad, but the location is too remote. Can the price be lower?"

Secretary Zhou shook his head and said:

"We are just selling it on behalf of others, and the price is indispensable. It is not our house anyway."

This reason is really powerful,

It's not that my own yard can't make the decision to cut the price.

Yi Weidong didn't care about the price difference between thirty and twenty,

Tell me that price is just a procedure for buying things,
It is strange behavior not to bargain.

Yi Weidong hesitated for a moment, and said with great heartache:
"I'm really interested in this house. Six hundred is six hundred. Do I have to wait for Old Feng to go through the formalities?"

Secretary Zhou saw that Yi Weidong was willing to buy the yard,
He said very happily: "That's not necessary, the previous procedures have been taken away, and the house book can be given to you directly."

Yi Weidong took out a bundle of ten-yuan banknotes from his satchel,

After counting, Secretary Zhou said, "It's exactly 600 yuan."

Get up and open the file cabinet,
Taking out a house book and supporting materials, he asked:
"What's the name of the little comrade?"

"Yi Weidong."

Secretary Zhou made a few strokes, and after filling it out, he handed it to Yi Weidong and said, "Okay, Comrade Yi Weidong, now this house belongs to you."

I never thought that buying a house at this time would be so easy.
Three to five minutes before and after, the formalities will be completed.
Yi Weidong took the house book and the brigade's proof materials,

Secretary Zhou took out another three bunches of keys and handed them to Dongdao Yi Wei;

"This is all the keys. You can come to me for anything in the future."

"Thank you, Secretary Zhou."

Yi Weidong left the brigade headquarters and rushed back to the yard again,

Get some new locks from the space and replace the yard locks,

The old locks can only be sent in as materials.

After entering the east wing, I put away some old furniture,
Take out the list given by Wang Zhiguo,
Release all kinds of iron pots, shovel heads and other iron utensils according to the same quantity,
Finally, Yi Weidong summed up according to the list,
This batch of goods is more than 1000 yuan.

Well, how do you calculate the cost?

It seems that Yi Weidong didn't spend any money,

The purchased samples are still stored in the space!
Even if the price of the sample is calculated, it does not exceed 150 yuan,
This time I earned several hundred more than the yard money,
It seems that this house is worth buying.

Yi Weidong hummed a ditty casually,

Riding three rounds back to the courtyard,
Shazhu has tidied up the house,
Shazhu and Yi Weidong had dinner at the uncle's house,

The aunt kept saying that they would start fires at the aunt's house in the future.
Yi Weidong said: "Auntie, you should stop cooking in the future. With my brother as a chef here, let him cook to honor you."

The aunt nodded and said: "That's right, I will prepare it for Zhuzi to cook, so that I don't cook anything that doesn't suit your appetite."

Sha Zhu hurriedly exaggerated: "Auntie, I didn't say that your cooking was not delicious! Wei Dong said it all."

The aunt hurriedly said: "As long as you Zhuzi can't speak, it is Weidong who loves me so much, how come you have changed?"

After talking about the joke, Shazhu said: "What Weidong said is, don't make any preparations later, auntie, just cook when I come back."

The aunt hesitated for a moment, then said: "Let's talk about it later, let's eat quickly, so as not to get cold."

Not long after eating, Yi Weidong saw Ran Qiuye enter the yard,
After looking around, I first entered the stick's room,
I seem to have heard Xiao Dang say it before,
Qin Huairu hasn't paid the tuition fee for the stick yet.

I guess it's for tuition fees.
Silly Zhu said: "Uncle and aunt. Teacher Ran will visit home later, so we will go back first."

"You go back first, and you must treat the teacher well." The old man said.

"Don't worry, sir."

Silly Zhu went into the room, Yi Weidong stayed in front of the door and waited,

Not long after,

Teacher Ran was sent out by Qin Huairu,

Teacher Ran said: "Mom, please stay, I will visit Yi Weidong's house again."

"Thank you, Teacher Ran."

When Qin Huairu saw Yi Weidong, it was like seeing a transparent person.
He turned his head and entered his west wing room.

Yi Weidong walked down the steps, approached Ran Qiuye and said:
"Hi Teacher Ran, my brother and I live in the main room, please come in and sit down."

"Hello, Yi Weidong, did I disturb you?"

Ran Qiuye politely followed into the house.

Silly Zhu put in a lot of effort to tidy up everything in the house.

Some of the rags were sent to the inverted room.

Silly Zhu said: "Mr. Ran is welcome to come to visit. I am Yi Weidong's cousin He Yuzhu. Please sit down."

"Thank you! Comrade He Yuzhu."

After Ran Qiuye sat down, Sha Zhu poured him a glass of Biluochun,

Said: "Teacher Ran, I don't know what's the matter with you this time?"

Ran Qiuye held a hot teacup and said, "I'm here to announce the good news. After Yi Weidong's test results came out, the third master and I were very surprised. We didn't expect Yi Weidong to be a student when he didn't go to school. , got 99 points in both subjects, ranking No.3 in the sixth grade."

Silly Zhu was also very surprised, glared at Yi Weidong, and said happily:
"Really? This is really great, thank you, Teacher Ran."

"Thank you for what! I haven't even taught Yi Weidong."

Ran Qiuye continued: "I'm here today mainly to see if your family has any difficulties. If you have the conditions, it's best to go to school to learn more knowledge, so that you can better contribute to society in the future."

Yi Weidong thought it was a bad move,
Good grades,
Teacher Ran actually had the idea of ​​letting him go to school,

It's all coming home.
Yi Weidong went to school for two days,

I feel uncomfortable already.

If you squat in the classroom every day,
Take classes with a group of twelve and thirteen-year-old children,
That doesn't torture people to death.

　Thank you for the 100 starting coins that Anti-Humanity chose to reward, thank you for the 51 starting coins rewarded with 100 stones, thank you for your support, thank you! ! !
