There are still three days left before the Spring Festival of 80 years, there is no TV, and there is no Spring Festival Gala, but the flavor of this era is more than that of later generations.

The small merchants and hawkers in the streets and alleys who were originally dodging suddenly became bold, who doesn't want to make money to do some New Year's goods during the New Year, and the people above will also understand their difficulties, right?

The alley, which had been quiet for an unknown number of years, sounded the sound of selling again. Sugar figures, paper cuts, dough...... The entire Yanjing City seemed to come to life in an instant.

Yang Dongxu has been very busy these days, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to catch his breath. It is the custom of Chinese to make big purchases at the end of the year, and the objects of procurement are naturally not only New Year's goods.

If you don't have money, you have to get a new dress, and the new year is not. If you have money, you can sell more, as long as there are supply and marketing cooperatives, and you don't need tickets, it's like grabbing everything and pulling it home.

Bicycles are naturally the focus of every household's purchase, and after the year, relatives ride bicycles with their wives and children, which is definitely a face. Therefore, the sound of the car bell is always ringing in the alley, not that someone in front of them is blocking the car bell to let the other party give way, but to attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors, but they know that they are also 'car owners'.

Wu Aibing, who was wearing a dogskin hat, pushed the door into the house, and a cold wind hit, which made Yang Dongxu, who was only wearing a sweater, tremble, but the work in his hand did not stop and pressed the steel balls into the bearings one by one.

"How many are left?" asked Yang Dongxu without raising his head.

"21 cars. Taking off his gloves and throwing them aside, Wu Aibing took the wrench next to him and began to assemble the large pieces.

"Didn't you just send out two of the 18 cars in the morning?" Yang Dongxu tilted his head and looked at Wu Aibing.

"That...... When I sent it over, my friend who bought the car saw it, so I ordered a few more. Wu Aibing smiled awkwardly.

"Again, you are not allowed to take on new jobs, and then you can do it yourself, do you want to exhaust me or what?" Yang Dongxu waited for Wu Aibing.

This guy simply wants money and doesn't want to die, although Yang Dongxu understands the enthusiasm of people in this era for making money, and he is also full of enthusiasm for making money, but in order to make money, you can't celebrate the New Year with 30 years, so it's not necessary, right?

"They want it after the year, it's not in a hurry. I don't pick it up, I definitely don't pick it up before the year, even if I don't pick it up after the year. "Wu Aibing is not accompanied.

People in this era still have no sense of security, and they have a bit of gains and losses in everything they do. So Wu Aibing wants to sell as many cars as possible when this business doesn't seem to be too risky now, even if he doesn't let him sell it that day, he has savings in his hands.

"What happened to the person you were looking for?" Yang Dongxu glared at Wu Aibing fiercely, he didn't have any hope for the guarantee in his mouth, he began to listen to this kind of guarantee from the tenth day of the lunar month, but there were still more and more people ordering cars, this guy was afraid that the other party would regret it and also received a fixed fee, so Yang Dongxu could only work hard.

"I found it, and said that I would come over after dinner in the afternoon. But don't we have a kitchen, why do we still have a stove in the middle of the room?" Wu Aibing looked at Yang Dongxu puzzled.

In addition to the three main rooms and the three side rooms in the courtyard, there is also a kitchen opposite the side room, and if the toilet is also added, there are a total of eight houses.

Usually no one uses it in the kitchen, and the only thing that starts the fire is the coal stove in the room at this time, and the ingredients are all handled by the old man Xuan, and they are brought over and thrown into the iron pot to stew indiscriminately.

As a bachelor in his forties, cooking skills are the most basic requirements for a real otaku, so Yang Dongxu's cooking skills are not bad. However, after being reborn, he obviously became a lot lazier, and there was still Old Man Xuan by his side, who knew how to eat more than himself, so he was naturally too lazy to do it.

"It's useful to get another pot stove, and you said about letting you and your mother come over for the New Year?" Yang Dongxu didn't bother to explain, such a delicacy as pot chicken, when they eat it, they will know what to do with a stove in the house, and not use it in the kitchen.

"Won't this be too troublesome?" Wu Aibing was a little moved.

There are only two people at home for the New Year, he and his mother, and the two younger sisters are already married, and they will not come to visit relatives until the third day of the new year, so it is quite boring to stay at home.

"What's the trouble, if you don't come, we won't be in the New Year? Old man Xuan will also come over then, and you will come over again to be lively together." It's not that you don't know what's going on on my side, and it's not bad for your stuttering. Yang Dongxu said.

"Okay, I'll bring my mother over then. "Wu Aibing's prevarication is not hypocritical, but he doesn't want to cause trouble to others, after all, everyone has a bit of a tight life these days, isn't it? But Yang Dongxu has said this, if he doesn't come, he obviously doesn't know how to lift.

In the afternoon, two masons came, and instead of making a hole in the roof to make a chimney, they made a hole in the back wall to lead the chimney out. The hands and feet of the two masons were very neat, and Yang Dongxu originally thought that he would have to work for half a day tomorrow, but they would have done it all in one afternoon.

"Uncle, you really didn't say anything about your life. After a handful of straw was stuffed into the pot stove and lit it, after burning for a while, there was no smoke and dust in the house, and Yang Dongxu gave a thumbs up to the working mason.

"It's good that the little owner is satisfied. The masons grinned, revealing their yellowish teeth.

Since I am very satisfied, the oval shape of the pot table is very comfortable to see, and I didn't say that I didn't say that I didn't have to look for a whole ticket of 10 yuan.

The two masons gave in a few times, and found that Yang Dongxu really gave it, not politely. The smile on his face was even thicker, and he said very generously that he would find them a discount if he had any work in the future.

As soon as the mason went out, Old Man Xuan walked in, and he couldn't help but pull Yang Dongxu out of the door. Wu Aibing reluctantly glanced at the half-assembled bicycle, and followed behind as long as the door was closed and locked.

The location is a bit far away, in Dong'anfu Hutong, opposite the Xinhua Gate on West Chang'an Street. Wu Aibing rode his bicycle by himself, and Yang Dongxu and Old Man Xuan sat on the board car and chattered for a long time before arriving.

The yard is very big, just by looking at it, you know that it is very big, the threshold of the gate is up to the waist of Yang Dongxu, a seven-year-old child, and the two big lions at the door are very martial arts.

Old man Xuan pointed to the gate and introduced that it was called Guangliang Gate, which was only a little lower than the gate of the palace. The people who can live here are either rich or expensive in the past, after all, the stone lion at the door in the past was not something that anyone could put if they wanted to.

But although the gate is magnificent, it can't cover the dilapidation, even more so after entering the house, the disappointment in Yang Dongxu's eyes after passing through the hanging flower gate to the second courtyard is even stronger.

The yard is very big, really big, the big courtyard of the four entrances has a garden, there is a rockery, and a small pond, which is not called big, how can it be big? Although there are no pavilions and pavilions comparable to the palace, but it covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters.

But it's too broken, the yard is overgrown with wild grass, the kind that can pull out rabbits from it, not to mention other snakes, insects, rats and ants, the wing room is basically down, even if it doesn't fall, it's a dangerous house that can't be lived.

The main house is barely able to live if it is not cleaned up, but living in such a yard is haunted at night, and it is not impossible to have any fox spirits, not looking at the outside of the house, just looking at the inside of this house is no different from the broken temple in the wilderness.

After walking around, Yang Dongxu and his entourage returned to the inverted house at the entrance of the house, that is, in the south room of the first row of houses in the courtyard, which is the only place in the entire courtyard that can treat people, and there is only one.

This is the residence of the owner, an old man in his sixties in an old-fashioned coat, and there are all kinds of messy inside, sleeping beds, kitchens, and even urinals or something, and the air is called a sour one.

"Can this house be bought, and if we rebuild it, it's enough for us to buy a similar house, right?" Yang Dongxu glanced at Old Man Xuan and didn't hide it, and said directly.

The old man of the owner smiled with an embarrassed look on his face, and the old man Xuan's face was also a little ugly, although some outsiders did not stretch out their hands to slap Yang Dongxu, but they spoke politely: "If it wasn't so broken, it would be your turn to sell?"

Although Old Man Xuan spoke politely, Yang Dongxu still agreed with his statement in his heart. It's because it's too broken, so the government/government didn't arrange people to live, otherwise it would have become a miscellaneous courtyard a long time ago.

It is precisely because of Taipo that the old man of the house was rehabilitated, and the old mansion was returned to him. The old man didn't sell the ancestral house at first, otherwise he wouldn't have repaired the gate.

But he forgot that he was no longer the local tyrant with a lot of money in the past, and his family was not a big official of the Qing Dynasty, so he casually repaired his pocket and bottomed out. Coupled with a few other reasons, he was ready to sell the house.

"How much?" Yang Dongxu asked, looking at the house behind him through the open door.

"Five...... Three thousand, three thousand is good. The owner grinned, revealing a few missing teeth, gesturing with his fingers.

Is it expensive to sell this dilapidated house for so much money? It is not expensive at all, even if Yang Dongxu does not plan to rebuild it, the land of a house placed here in a few years will not be worth this price.

But this price is too much now, three thousand yuan is enough for Yang Dongxu to buy a set of three-entry large courtyards, and it is the kind that can live at any time.

Yang Dongxu glanced at Old Man Xuan and found that Old Man Xuan's fugue did not respond to him at all, and he knew that Old Man Xuan was not ready to participate in the bargaining matter.

"In this way, you don't have to say three thousand, I won't cheat you, according to the current market of 2,000 yuan, if you think it's okay, we will go through the formalities, but you have to move out after the year, I am going to overhaul this place." ”

The old man looked at Old Man Xuan, looked at Wu Aibing, obviously to the adult standing next to him, but it was a little strange to let a child come and negotiate the price with him.

"It was he who paid for the house, and although he was young, he could make decisions about the affairs of the family, just like he said. The old man Xuan, who was silent just now, seemed to see the old man's doubts and spoke.

Yang Dongxu looked at the old man and then at the old man Xuan, and felt that there might be a relationship between the two people. Otherwise, Old Man Xuan's critical eyes would not have taken him to see such a dilapidated house, even if he said that it doesn't matter whether the house is good or bad, as long as the place is big enough.

However, since Old Man Xuan didn't tell him on the way, Yang Dongxu didn't plan to ask. He just needs to be sure that Old Man Xuan won't pit himself, and let alone 3,000 yuan for such a large yard, even if the 5,000 yuan that the old man wanted to say just now is taken down, it won't be a loss.

"That's it, I don't want more than 2,200 yuan, if you can, let's go through the formalities now, and I will move out immediately, just in time for the New Year, I will go back to the countryside for the New Year, and I don't have to wait until next year." The old man snorted, reluctantly glanced at the panicked courtyard, gritted his teeth and said.
