Chapter 814: Returning Home (2)
It's a hurry to go, and it's a hurry to go back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On February 9, 2011, Han Bo officially stepped down, and did not even attend the farewell banquet organized by several South African Chinese groups, so he took his family back to Beijing on the Air China flight.
It's a bad luck to come back, if you can catch the Spring Festival a few days earlier.
However, it is only the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and although all units have already gone to work, the taste of the New Year is still there, especially for Han Bo, who has been in South Africa for four years.
"Susu, hold it up, don't let grandpa fall down. ”
"Grandpa, I'll hang up. "If you are in China, you should have been in the third grade, holding on to the ladder, looking up at her grandfather who was hanging the lantern with a look of envy.
"I'll let you hang it in two years," Lao Li didn't want his baby grandson to fall and knock, looked back at the symmetry of the lanterns on both sides, and carefully climbed down the ladder.
The grandparents and grandchildren were busy preparing for another year, after hanging the lanterns and pasting couplets, Han Bo came back from reporting his work from the Ministry of International Cooperation Bureau, walked into the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar courtyard, looked at the renovated Westinghouse and asked, "Dad, when did these two rooms in the west come down?"
"Old Yellow Calendar!"
Lao Li wiped off the paste stuck to his hands, pointed to the small courtyard, and said with a smug smile: "You went to South Africa the year you went down, didn't you rent it to a pair of young people, and I didn't care about repairing it last year. ”
It must be admitted that Li Xiaolei was prescient.
At that time, the neighbors who lived in the courtyard all wanted to live in high-rise buildings, and there were three more houses in the courtyard, and only one less, and they built sheds outside for cooking, because the area was too small and the environment was not good, and they wanted to sell but could not sell at a high price. Li Xiaolei was tired of living in the high-rise and had a little money in her hand, so she bought the houses in the courtyard one after another.
Donghai's decoration materials market invited a manager, Mr. Han usually has nothing to do, not to mention the "second-in-command" of Mr. Li, and he does have feelings for the miscellaneous courtyard where he has lived for decades, so he returned to Beijing as soon as he had time, and successively took back the rented houses.
Now can not be called "the big miscellaneous courtyard", blue bricks and red tiles, carved beams and painted columns, there are rockeries in the yard, there are strange flowers and plants, if the door face is bigger, and then put two stone lions, I don't know if I really think it is the official residence of the former dignitaries.
I came back late yesterday, and I left in a hurry in the morning, so Han Bozhen didn't visit carefully.
Accompanied by the old man, he finished one by one, returned to the hall full of mahogany furniture, put down his bag and said with a smile: "Yes, it is really well repaired, it is antique, and the old is as old as the old." ”
"That's, I don't want to think about what your dad does!"
Mr. Li stroked the head of his baby grandson, picked up a delicate purple sand teapot, and introduced with his eyebrows: "The people who work are all masters who repair this, and ordinary people can't ask for any amount of money." This set of furniture was purchased from Lujiaying, and this painting, this screen, including these ornaments, were all purchased from Panjiayuan......"
"Old thing, old thing, how much does it cost?"
"It's an old thing, and it looks like it, but it's actually a fake, but it's not cheap. It was repaired inside and out, including these things, as well as these household appliances that were added, which were two million smaller. ”
Han Bo picked up his son and asked with a smile, "Dad, isn't it too extravagant?"
"What luxury?" Lao Li always smiled proudly: "The real estate agent specializing in courtyard houses came over and asked if this courtyard was for sale, do you know how much our house can be hung in his place, 50 million, and you can make more than 40 million yuan if you change hands! ”
There is a reason why this courtyard can be sold at a high price, first of all, the location is good, it is located in the most prosperous area of the city center, but the hutong is quiet in the middle of noisy, and it is only one step away from prosperity and tranquility.
The second is that the property rights are complete, there is only one owner in a courtyard, unlike several large miscellaneous courtyards around, some people are willing to sell, some people are unwilling to sell, and the boss who likes this architectural style can only buy a part, which is incomplete and feels uncomfortable.
Then it occupies the place, the front of the door is wide, covers an area of more than 500 meters, the construction area is more than 300 square meters, the north room is 5 rooms, the south room is 5 rooms, the east room is 3 rooms, the west room is 3 rooms, after repair, it can be called the classic of the courtyard.
The original three were "separated" when the second elder told Li Xiaohui very clearly, giving them all their savings to open a decoration company, and when they bought the house, they gave the hundreds of thousands of dollars they earned later to the eldest daughter, and the three old houses should be left to Susu, in fact, Li Xiaolei and Susu's hukou has always been here.
Later, half of the thirteen rooms on the plate were the money spent by Li Xiaolei, and half of the money was given by Mr. Han, which means that this courtyard house worth 50 million yuan is flocculent.
is only a teenager, and he has tens of millions of assets.
Han Bo felt a little ridiculous, lowered his head and asked, "Susu, do you like this family?"
The little guy blinked and said without thinking: "I don't like it, it's short and small, not as big as Du's mother's house, and not as beautiful as Du's mother's house." ”
This kid, tell the truth!
Han Bo was so made to cry and laugh, and he didn't know how to explain it to his father-in-law.
Tong Yan Wuji, what does he know now, Lao Li always waved his hand casually: "Susu, this is Beijing, the capital of our China, and it can't be compared with South Africa, which has few people." I have been to your Du's mother's house, it is quite large, and there is a manor, if you sell it here and go to South Africa to buy it, the money from the sale can buy a more beautiful house than your Du's mother's house, a bigger manor. ”
"Really?"
"Don't believe me, ask your dad. ”
While they were talking, there was the sound of a car closing outside.
Han Bo hurriedly put down his son, pretended to be nervous, and said, "Go and do your homework, otherwise you will be scolded again." ”
Mom is terrible, she's the scariest person in the world!
Susu grimaced, hurriedly ran into the study, and slammed the door. Lao Li couldn't help laughing, and Han Bo couldn't help laughing.
"I'm back, buy groceries, how did you get here?"
"I met Aunt Wu in the supermarket, I haven't seen her for a few years, and I was pulled to talk for a while. Mother Li sent the dishes into the kitchen, turned around and took the two plastic bags in Li Xiaolei's hand, and said happily: "Han Bo, Aunt Wu should have the impression that her second daughter is as old as Xiaolei, and she has just returned to China, and she has not married until now. ”
"When I think about it, when Xiaolei and I got married, her daughter seemed to be preparing to study abroad. ”
"Yes, that's it. Aunt Wu was so proud at that time, her daughter had the ability, go to the United States, tell him to tell you, for fear that others will not know, and now it is like that, neither a family nor a decent career. If Aunt Wu hadn't had a suite, she wouldn't even have a place to live. ”
"Lao Chen used to look down on people, and when I first started decorating, I always said cool things behind my back. "The son-in-law has the ability, the daughter has the ability, the grandson is smart and clever, not to mention the economic aspect, Lao Li is always qualified to be proud.
Li Xiaolei couldn't help but think of Mr. Han, who used to love to show off, looked at Han Bo and smiled, pushed open the door to look at her son who was lying on the desk "concentrating" on his homework, and turned around and asked: "Han Bo, go to the unit to hand over, what does the leader say?"
"I feel that the sand bureau is not disclosed, I guess I really don't know, but the working relationship has been transferred to the ministry. ”
"So you can stay in Beijing?"
"It's more likely, but I prefer to go to the grassroots level than to work in an agency. ”
In the four years he was stationed abroad, he dealt with high-ranking officials almost every day, liaisoned, and socialized, although he did police work, but it was completely different from his ideal work state, and he did not look like a policeman in his words.
If you don't handle cases and don't crack down on crime, is it still a "Korean crackdown"?
Li Xiaolei knows her husband better than anyone else, and smiled: "Don't worry about me, go to the grassroots level, I am very happy to be able to return to China, no matter where I go to work in China, it is better than in South Africa." ”
"Yes, South Africa is too dangerous, and when I watched the news the day before yesterday, it seemed that there was another riot. Mr. Li only has two words for his son-in-law's work---- "support", anyway, he has spent more time in the East China Sea than in Beijing, and it really doesn't matter to him if his son-in-law works in Beijing.
Han Bo looked at his mother-in-law who was busy in the kitchen, and said with a smile: "On the way back from the ministry, I called Houchang, he was not busy, I invited him to come to the house for dinner, and he agreed." ”
"Hou Chang is coming?"
"Hmm. ”
"I'll go out and buy a few more groceries. ”
"There's no need, he's not an outsider, and he doesn't pay attention to these, it's just a gathering, I haven't seen him for a long time. ”
Thinking of the old leader's personality, Li Xiaolei no longer insisted.
Hou Xiufeng is the noble person of his son-in-law's daughter's life, and he helps his son-in-law's daughter much more than Lao Lu, who can brag, not to mention that he is a real big leader!
Lao Li was so excited that he rubbed his hands, first ran into the back room and turned out the Moutai that had been hidden for several years, and was busy cleaning up the already clean house, and even picked up a broom to clean up the fallen leaves in the yard, and was very busy.
Han Bo and Li Xiaolei couldn't intervene, and the old leader was almost there, so the two simply went to the alley to greet them.
Standing at the intersection without worrying about being robbed, there is no need to wear a bulletproof vest under the jacket, looking at the children playing and playing, listening to the Peking Opera singing of the old neighborhood, Han Bo feels good in his heart to return to China!
"Han Bo, Xiaolei, this way. ”
Patronizing and looking ahead, the old leader actually appeared behind him, Han Bo hurriedly trotted up to meet him, clasped the old leader's hand and asked, "Hou Chang, how did you come from there?"
"The taxi driver said that it is not easy to turn around here, I guess it is in a hurry to change shifts, and it is not easy for people to make some money. ”
"Good Hou Chang, Happy New Year Hou Chang. Seeing the old leaders of the old unit again, Li Xiaolei was also happy.
"I also wish you a happy New Year, Jingjing is right, you two have not changed much, unlike me, this hair is all dyed," Hou Xiufeng shook Li Xiaolei's hand lightly, smiled and turned sideways: "Let me introduce, this is my roommate Lao Xu, he was seen by him when he slipped away, if you don't take him out, I will go to beat my little report, there is no way, I can only bring him to your meal." ”
The old leader, as always funny.
What roommate, obviously a student of the party school, is a future provincial and ministerial leader like him.
Han Bo didn't dare to call him "Old Xu", and hurriedly said, "Xu...... Composed...... Brother Xu, welcome, welcome. ”
