The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 155 Arranging a New Home
As for the purchase of furniture, Yan Jiecheng felt that he had to discuss it with Sister Kexin, after all, it would be their lives from now on.

Building a love nest together is the best panacea to stimulate human yearning for a better life.

On the weekend, Yan Jiecheng went to Chang's house to pick up his sister, and the two went directly to the courtyard.

Along the way, Yan Jiecheng rode his bicycle slowly.Since they were not in a hurry, the two of them were naturally not in a hurry.

In fact, Yan Jiecheng's academy now has a car.

Except for Yan Xiecheng, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, who is full-time, all other leaders higher than him are part-time, and each has a special car.

So the car fell on Yan Jiecheng.

It's just that Yan Jiecheng was already in his early 20s, and he was already conspicuous enough.

And if you sit in that jeep all day long, it won't do you any good except bring hatred to yourself.

So except for some necessary occasions, he usually rides a bicycle.

It's not a problem for the jeep to be idle in the academy.

Yan Jiecheng simply rented it out and used it as a shared car.

Of course, the words are not so straightforward.

Yan Jiecheng's original words were that all the students of the college are some leaders, and they also need to visit friends or run errands in the capital.

Our college is based on the sake of the majority of students and serves you better, so we lend the cars of the school leaders to comrades in need.

Of course, everyone is a good comrade with consciousness and thought, and no matter what you do, you can't let the country suffer.

Therefore, the gas fee and vehicle damage fee still need to be paid by yourself.

Just like that, the students all praised Hei Hades for his conscience.

After all, it is not easy for them to go out when they are resting, either by bus or on foot.

Who wouldn't want to be able to take the college's car now.

They are all the leaders of various places, and they don't care about the money.

Dean Lu didn't care when he heard about it.

He just thought that this was Yan Jiecheng's way to make friends with these students.

The driver, Xiao Zhang, was reluctant at first.

After all, who is willing to work overtime every day when they can lie down and get money every day.

These students not only rent cars on weekends, but also rent cars after training in the evening, and some people even ask for leave to go out.

Xiao Zhang is now the busiest person in the academy.

But this guy is in pain and happiness now.

Every time they leave the car, these students are very generous, either throwing away two packs of cigarettes, or giving them some local specialties.

If he really went to investigate bribery, Xiao Zhang would probably become the number one corrupt driver among the drivers.

But this is the way of life these days, and it's hard to say anything about human relationships.

Besides, it's just a little hard work for the driver.There is no interest relationship.

Who will be troublesome.

Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin soon arrived at the courtyard.

The small courtyard is the second one at the entrance of the hutong. This hutong is full of single-door courtyards, and there are no such large courtyards.

There are not many people in the hutong. In fact, all the yards in this hutong belong to various units.

Just like Yan Jiecheng and their neighbors, the first yard at the entrance of the alley is the police station in their area.

The third is the Qin Provincial Office in Beijing.Of course, most of the rest are provincial offices in Beijing.

Like Yan Xiecheng's small courtyard, it used to be the preparatory office of the technical college.

The reason for this is that this alley used to be the well-known Tongxiang Guild Hall alley.

There were various types of guild halls in the early days, most of which were for the purpose of maintaining, uniting, and harmonious relationships with fellow villagers, clansmen, and industries, with geographical, blood, and industry ties.

Since officials and citizens, gentry and merchants could interact with each other without any restraint in the guild hall, the guild hall gradually became an important place for political and social activities.

Therefore, many major historical events and important historical figures in modern times are related to the guild hall.

At that time, the functions of the guild halls and hometown associations in the capital were mainly to communicate the relationship between the hometown and the capital, receive local officials who came to Beijing on business trips and students from their hometowns who came to Beijing for exams, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people in their hometowns in Beijing.

At the beginning of the establishment of the new government, various unstable factors still existed, and many guild halls of non-governmental organizations in this alley became places where enemy forces lurk.

In the late 1950s, the guild halls in this alley were confiscated and replaced by provincial offices in Beijing.

Therefore, the atmosphere and environment of this alley is much better than that of the courtyard.

Seeing that Chang Kexin was still looking around, Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Don't look, let's go inside quickly."

With that said, he took out the key and opened the door.

After the repair, the whole yard looks brand new.

Chang Kexin started to look at it from the inverted room in the front yard.

After entering the door, there is a utility room on the right hand side. Of course, there is nothing to see.

There are three more rooms on the left, all empty now.

Yan Jiecheng thought that in the future, it could be used as a guest room, a chess and card room, and an audio-visual room.

Of course, this estimate will take many years.

A few empty houses naturally have nothing to look at.

The two went straight to the backyard.

The east and west wing rooms in the backyard are all three-bay rooms.

The east wing is used as the kitchen area, the dining room is in the middle, the kitchen is near the north, and a tea room is near the south.

Of course, except for the kitchen, which was designed according to Yan Xiecheng's design and made into a new kitchen, the rest of the place was empty, lacking the main furniture.

When Chang Kexin saw the kitchen, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked curiously, "Brother Yan, is this the kitchen? I didn't see any stove or stove either."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "This is the new kitchen I designed, do you like it?"

Chang Kexin nodded, and asked, "How do you cook here?"

The kitchen designed by Yan Xiecheng was designed according to the decoration of later generations, except for the gas tank and the stove.

He knew that in 65, the first domestic liquefied gas bottling plant in the western suburbs would be completed and put into operation.

But this meeting hasn’t happened yet, so he had no choice but to say: “I didn’t hear that there is a new liquefied gas plant in the western suburbs, so I designed it like this. From now on, we will use liquefied gas at home, so there will be no soot smell in cooking.

It's just that we still need Mr. Stove for cooking in the past two years. "

Chang Kexin is a talented student in Huaqing, so he naturally knows what liquefied gas is.

There are seven rooms in the north, one main room and two side rooms.

According to the layout of the main room, Yan Xiecheng made functional divisions.

The east is the bedroom, the middle is the main room, and the west is the living room.

Yan Xiecheng finished his preparations in this hall and went to find some old furniture, tables and chairs.

Naturally, the furniture in the living room should be checked at the supply department of Beijing Department Store, where there are usually more fashionable furniture.

Last year, the country just integrated the Foreign Friends Service Department, Overseas Personnel Service Department, and Overseas Chinese Store into the Beijing Department Store Supply Department.

This place later also had a special name called Friendship Store.

The two talked about their thoughts while watching, and Chang Kexin wanted a side room as a study.

There are many flowers to be planted in the yard, Yan Jiecheng didn't interrupt, and let the girl imagine alone.

Unfortunately, there is still no bathroom in the yard.

Yan Jiecheng originally thought that if there is a sewer on the main road outside, just say hello and connect it.

As a result, I found out that the sewer on the main road outside his house is only for rainwater drainage, and there is no special pipe for sewage drainage at all.

Therefore, they can only continue to use public toilets.

This is probably the reason why everyone chose to live in a building later. After all, no one of us wants to queue up to go to the toilet every morning.

Of course, at this time, there are no flush toilets in the entire capital.

It is estimated that there are only those Soviet-style villas and Overseas Chinese Hotel.

Anyway, Yan Jiecheng saw that Chang Kexin's family had it.

Yan Jiecheng sighed in his heart. These days, a single flush toilet can divide people into different classes.

The two were a little tired after walking around, so they sat on the threshold to rest.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Chang Kexin and said with a smile, "Why, are you still satisfied?"

Chang Kexin hit him with his fist, and said: "If you want me to say, we still live in the east wing of your house, I think it's fine.

It's too big here, it's too deserted for the two of us to live in, and it's exhausting to clean up. "

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "It's okay. I will raise a dog in the future. The front yard is useless now. You can also raise some chickens and save some eggs to eat."

"If you feel deserted, let's have a few more children, and it will be lively."

Although the two had already confirmed their wedding date, Chang Kexin was still a little shy when it came to this.

Said: "Shameless, who will give birth to you."

After the two frolicked for a while, Chang Kexin said, "Brother Yan, you plan to buy so much furniture. Do you have enough money? I still have a few hundred yuan here. Take it."

After speaking, he took out the money and gave it to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "I didn't realize that you are still a little rich woman."

Then he said: "Keep it for yourself, I have been working for several years, and I have saved some money in the past few years."

Chang Kexin didn't insist after hearing this, but remembered that Yan Jiecheng said earlier that he wanted to buy a sofa for the living room, so he said: "Brother Yan's department store has sofas at the supply department, but they only accept foreign exchange bureau certificates, we can't buy them with money."

Yan Jiecheng was also a little surprised when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard of this.

He had been to that place last year, but it was just that the things were extremely expensive at that time, and he didn't say that he needed foreign exchange certificates.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's appearance, Chang Kexin said, "This is a regulation that just came out in February."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he thought that the sofa in his living room was hopeless.

I had no choice but to find someone to see if I could make a solid wood sofa.

Only then did Chang Kexin giggle and said, "Brother Yan, I know that one person can get the sofa."

Yan Jiecheng asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"My Father."

Hearing this answer, Yan Jiecheng suddenly lost his mind.

This girl just said nonsense, but you can't go to Lao Chang to open the back door just because of a sofa, it's too cheap.

Seeing Yan Xiecheng's expression, Chang Kexin knew what he was thinking, and explained: "My dad doesn't need to write a special note, in fact, there is a sofa in my dad's supplies.

It's just that my two older brothers are working out of town, so this set of sofas is placed in the internal affairs department and has not been received. "

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his eyes lit up.Then he asked a little embarrassedly: "Isn't it good for us to take your father's things?"

Chang Kexin glared and said, "What? I'm getting married, so my dad can prepare a dowry. I don't want anything else, just that set of furniture."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng only lamented that Lao Chang gave birth to a good daughter.

Marriage these days pays attention to a three-turn and one-ring, 72 legs.

The so-called three turns and one sound are bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios.

The 72 legs are some furniture, such as wardrobe, square table and so on.However, according to Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin's plan, there are more than 72 legs.

Both of them have bicycles and watches, only a sewing machine is missing.

Yan Jiecheng thought of this and asked, "Kexin, should we buy a sewing machine?"

Chang Kexin shook her head when she heard this, and then said embarrassedly: "My mother sewed my clothes for me at home, and Cuihua also helped me later. I don't know how to sew clothes myself. It's a waste for us to buy a sewing machine. "

As for the radio, Yan Jiecheng thought about it.

As for the parts in Chang Kexin's house, it is more than enough to assemble ten sets.

But the attitude should be there.

Yan Jiecheng asked: "Then the radio, shall we buy one?"

After hearing this, Chang Kexin became interested and said: "Well, the Panasonic RF508 is good, but it is too expensive. Our professor bought one for more than 300. I heard that the tuner is very good. The key volume is small.

Our professor is very mean and won't let me take it apart. "

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his head suddenly grew dizzy. He patted Chang Kexin's head and said, "What are you thinking? I'm talking about what we will use in the future, not for you to disassemble for fun."

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Chang Kexin froze for a moment, and said, "Forget it, you don't need to buy it. I have a lot of parts. You want to hear me assemble one for you, including electronic tubes and semiconductors."

Seeing that the girl really liked it and the radio was the only thing she wanted, Yan Jiecheng said, "Panasonic is Panasonic. I'll find a way to see if I can get it."

After hearing this, Chang Kexin quickly said, "Brother Yan, you are so kind, I promise not to tear it down."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng smiled helplessly, thinking that it was his own support for the development of the country's radio industry.

Said: "You can disassemble it as you like, and remember to assemble a semiconductor radio for me later."

These days domestic radios are all a big wooden box, very bulky.

The Panasonic RF508 that Chang Kexin mentioned is a small radio that can be carried in a trouser pocket.

Cleaning up a new yard requires a lot of planning and preparation, and things are complicated and trivial.

After the two rested for a while, Yan Jiecheng took out his notebook and wrote down all the things they had discussed.

Like what kind of door curtain, the color and style of the curtain, and the size measured by the two of you.

Yan Xiecheng didn't bother to count wardrobes, square tables, desks, chairs, benches, dressing tables, etc., because Chang Kexin was busy recording them.

Two hours later, Yan Jiecheng took the notebook from Chang Kexin's hand, and saw that it was full of four or five pages.

The girl's family is careful in doing things, and the writing is very specific, brooms, rags, shovels, and dustpans are all recorded one by one.

Yan Jiecheng flipped through it, and said with a smile, "No wonder people say that a broken house is worth tens of thousands of gold. I didn't expect to move in and need to pack so many things."

Chang Kexin said: "Brother Yan, we don't need to buy these things at once, we just add them slowly in the future."

Then he whispered, "I'm graduating soon, and I'll have a monthly salary of 59 yuan from now on."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Chang Kexin like this, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are already much better than many people."

In the future, the combined salary of the two people will be more than 200, which is better than most people.

In the next few days, Yan Jie ran between department stores and various furniture factories in Chengdu.

I often hire the boss to pull things home.

Several times I went to the department store and saw that there was a piano inside. Yan Xiecheng asked the price, and it only cost more than 300.

He endured it several times, but in the end he couldn't.

As a dick of later generations, seeing this pretentious weapon is really unbearable.

In addition, with this super awesome learning ability in this life, I have long wanted to get one.

I just didn't think about it before, seeing each other every day these days, how could I let it go, and finally moved back home.

I also went to the Conservatory of Music and asked Guan Yuanyuan, a teacher who has stayed at the school, for some learning materials about piano.

In a few days, it was ready to play.All that's left is to get used to it.

In one month, more than 1000 yuan was thrown out, and the whole yard suddenly became alive.

I finally feel at home, and now I am waiting for Chang Kexin's sofa set.

The main room, study room, and tea room are all old furniture. Yan Xiecheng touched the huanghuali chair under his buttocks, looked at the purple sand pot in front of him, and sighed: "It's really cheap."

These days, these old objects are actually cheaper than new furniture, which made Yan Xiecheng a little uncomfortable at first.

After figuring it out, he frantically collected a large wave.The inverted room in the front yard is full of sets of tables and chairs, as well as some desks, kang tables and the like.

In the study, there is no shortage of old objects such as pen holders, bookshelves, inkstones, brush washers, and paperweights.

Yan Jiecheng didn't let go of little gadgets like the piano table and pedals.

Today, the entire study room is antique, and people can't help but want to study after entering it.
