The next morning, Chen Qiaoshan took Yan Xiaoqin and Xiao Wu to the courtyard together.

Today is Saturday, but overtime is the norm in Internet companies, and Yan Xiaoqin is certainly no exception.

"I still have something to do in the morning, why don't you two go first, and I'll rush over when I'm done?" Yan Xiaoqin already has a bit of a strong woman's taste, she is now in charge of the overall situation, although Chen Qiaoshan has mentioned it from the side, but the burden on her body is not easy at all.

"Let's go together, it won't be long. Chen Qiaoshan persuaded that he was not very optimistic about Yan Xiaoqin's entrepreneurship.

In China, copyright is a pit that all video industries can't get around, coupled with the expensive bandwidth cost, this industry is destined to see the bayonet from the day it was born, and there is no strong capital backing.

Yan Xiaoqin doesn't have any entrepreneurial experience, and it's hard to say which step she can take, but she is interested, and it is not impossible to give it a try while she is young.

"It's okay to go, but you have to accompany me to the company in the afternoon to work overtime. Yan Xiaoqin mentioned the conditions, and she was also not confident enough for this venture.

"No problem, do as you say. "Chen Qiaoshan has nothing to do.

Xiao Wu pouted, she had been learning ukulele recently, and she had a music theory class on Saturday afternoon, and she was usually sent by Chen Lao Er.

Now it seems that it is really the same as what the third sister said, the second brother left his family behind when he had a daughter-in-law, and he really didn't realize it at all.

Xiao Wu scolded a few words in her heart, but she was also obedient, in front of Yan Xiaoqin, she knew and didn't say anything, anyway, the tutorial class is in Peking University, she is very familiar with it, and she can take Yanyan to class with her when the time comes.

The courtyard of the Chen family is located in the small Badaowan alley, there are not a few people called Badaowan in the capital, there is also a Badaowan alley near Xizhimen, Lu Xun once lived here, No. 11 Badaowan has witnessed the grievances and hatreds of the Zhou brothers, because of the same name, the drum tower has become a small Badaowan alley.

Xiaobadao Bay meanders, starting from Gulou West Street in the south, reaching Dashiqiao in the north, although the alley is not long, but it turns several bends, it is indeed worthy of the name.

Since the construction of the courtyard began, Chen Qiaoshan came here for the first time, and when he entered the residential area of the inner city, he felt that there was no change from the last time, and the surroundings were still in ruins.

Xiao Wu came here for the first time, it was quite fresh, but after entering the alley, she was a little disappointed, where is this courtyard, the whole is a miscellaneous courtyard, there is everything built privately, and some places are not even as good as Qianwang Village, "Second brother, this side is too broken, right?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled, this is within the second ring road, walking along the back sea, as far as the eye can see is the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, the so-called imperial city is nothing more than that, now the renovation of the inner city has just started, chaos is the mainstream today, no wonder Xiao Wu has this said.

Chen Qiaoshan will not instill the truth of every inch of land with Xiao Wu, "Look at the broken, just the gatehouse, although the mountain gate is crooked, but it is a cultural relics and monuments." ”

He is talking about the Nianhua Temple, where it was originally called the Thousand Buddha Temple, after the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yongzheng was given the name of the Nianhua Temple by the emperor, the plaque of the mountain gate "Nianhua Temple" is still clearly recognizable after a hundred years of wind and rain, the proper cultural relics and monuments are undoubted, but now there is still the printing house of the people's congress, it is very dilapidated, and the eaves of a corner are seeing that there is a tendency to fall down.

If it is placed in any city other than Yanjing, Lianhua Temple is definitely the existence of the stars holding the moon, but it is a pity that it is in the imperial capital, and it can only be used as an abandoned factory of the National People's Congress Printing Factory, which is eroded by wind and rain.

Xiao Wu is not a little girl who doesn't know anything, the most important thing in Yanjing is cultural relics and monuments, so she naturally won't take it to heart.

On the west side of Xiaobadaowan Hutong are all kinds of miscellaneous courtyards, and most of the east side has been rebuilt, and there are all kinds of Beijing offices, guest houses, restaurants, and theaters.

"It's here, get off. The courtyard of the Chen family was in the middle of the alley, and as soon as Yan Xiaoqin parked the car at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Qiaoshan took the lead and walked down.

The courtyard door has been renewed, four hexagonal hairpins on the lintel, carved on the good people's house, the periphery is decorated with entwined lotus flowers, look at it and feel a little ancient.

The main gate is half-hidden, the cymbals of the beast's head, the brass door nails that are seven horizontally and vertically, plus two simple and lovely lion-shaped door piers, at first glance, it is a bit of a deep house compound atmosphere.

"Second brother, this is our family, you didn't recognize the wrong door, right?" Xiao Wu is not calm, she has already visited the boundaries around Yanjing, and the grandeur of this courtyard gate is worse than the palace.

Yan Xiaoqin is not much better, she has seen the original appearance of the courtyard, and now she is also a little surprised by what she sees in front of her.

Seeing the two of them like this, Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "It's not wrong, what's the matter, scared?"

"Not really. "Even if he is said to be in his heart, Xiao Wu will not recognize it.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and Yan Zhenghua heard the movement and walked out of the courtyard, "Mr. Chen, I have passed half of the construction period, and you have just come back for the first time, if Party A is like you, it will be difficult for me to make a fortune." ”

"Brother Yan, are you making fun of me?" Just looked at the door, Chen Qiaoshan was already very satisfied, compared with those royal mansions, it must be much worse, but there is no need to be too exaggerated, low-key and introverted is in line with his character.

"Don't stand outside, let's go in and have a look. Yan Zhenghua greeted, seeing Xiao Wu's curious face, everything was fresh, he smiled: "Xiao Wu, it's not finished yet, be careful with your step, you can also help take a look, you can put forward any opinions, it's too late to change now." ”

Xiao Wu just watched the excitement, how could she understand this, but looking at the two little lions at the door, she said curiously: "Uncle Yan, why are the lions of other families so big, and there is so much here?"

Listening to her ask, Yan Zhenghua explained with a smile: "We call this a drum stone, also called a door platform, a door pier, in ancient times, the door was right, the so-called door dang, it is the drum stone." ”

"This is placed at the bottom of the gate, to support the door frame and door shaft, what you said is the town house, our yard is not small, there was originally, but your brother said it was too public, I can only retreat to the second, choose this kind of beast of the drum stone......"

Talking about ancient buildings, Yan Zhenghua is definitely an authority in this regard, Xiao Wu just asked, he started from the door pier, and was stunned to popularize the regulations of the main gate of the courtyard to everyone.

"Yan Zhenghua, you are really, Xiao Chen, they are here, you stand at the door to say hello?" Gao Xiaoqing also heard the sound and came over, and after counting her husband, she said hello to Chen Qiaoshan again, and then pulled Xiao Wu and Yan Xiaoqin, and said affectionately: "Let them talk, go, let's go to the backyard to see, you must like it." ”

The three women talked and laughed and entered the courtyard, and Chen Qiaoshan and Yan Zhenghua also followed.

As Chen Qiaoshan expected, handing over the house to Yan Zhenghua was obviously the right decision.

The whole courtyard has been re-planned, the courtyard of the three entrances, the beam structure has been completed, there has been a prototype, whether it is the "pine crane prolonging the year" of the wall, or the "Yutang rich" hanging flower door and the hand-copying verandah, are very ancient, from the tile to the dripping eaves, and then to the eaves rafters on the house, all of them are boutiques, it can be seen that Yan Zhenghua is really hard.

"What do you think?" Yan Zhenghua asked quite seriously.

Although the relationship between the two families is close, Yan Zhenghua has a spectrum in his heart, human favor is human favor, business is business, and if you want to do it for a long time in this industry, customer satisfaction is the key.

"It's beautiful. Chen Qiaoshan didn't come to the void, he was not an outsider, he was quite satisfied with this house, after thinking about it, he said again: "Brother Yan, after all, the house is for living, and the living facilities cannot be left behind." ”

"You can rest assured, taking into account the comfort, water and kitchen and bathroom I have asked professionals to design, according to your requirements, all the paint is pure natural, which was previously learned from the master of the Forbidden City with the teacher, but the cost is a little higher, and the fresh air system specially ordered from abroad is being cleared, at the latest in early June, the whole can be completed......"

For this house, Yan Zhenghua is quite dedicated, and he believes that Chen Qiaoshan's judgment will increase the demand for high-end courtyard houses in the future.

With the help of this opportunity, he also wanted to set up a signboard, Chen Qiaoshan was obviously not bad for money, so he tried his best to be perfect, and now the other party is satisfied, and everyone is happy.

"Second brother, the back garden is big, and there are pavilions and fish ponds. After a while, Xiao Wu ran back.

A section of the corridor passing by is under construction, Xiao Wu has a hard hat on the door of her head, the hat is obviously large, she is not tall, she has to be supported with two hands, it looks very funny.

Chen Qiaoshan had the renderings of the courtyard in his hand, and he was naturally clear about the layout, so he asked, "What, what do you think?"

Seeing that his thoughts were guessed, Xiao Wu was not polite to Chen Lao Er, and said immediately: "Second brother, can you put a swing in the backyard, Aunt Xiaoqing said that it can be done, but I have to ask your opinion first?"

The house is used to live in, and Xiao Wu's request is nothing, Chen Qiaoshan naturally will not refuse, he said: "Yes, yes, but this fee has to be deducted from your salary." ”

Even if Xiao Wudang agreed without a word, as for the money or not, she didn't pay attention to it.

She has been working for Chen Lao Er for a day or two, but the sadness is only known to the parties themselves.

The work is not heavy, but it is fragmentary, that is, when Chen Lao Er needs to work overtime on weekends, he helps to serve tea and pour water, run errands and carry bags, etc.

Chen Laoer's salary is not low, fifty a day, Xiao Wu was originally very happy, but after doing it twice, she wanted to cry without tears, for no other reason, mainly because Chen Lao Ertai can play routines.

According to Xiao Wu's prediction, she worked odd jobs one day a week, and her pocket money for a week was rich, but her plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

Every time it was time to eat, Chen Lao Er would either take Xiao Wu to the restaurant, or let her order from the Western restaurant downstairs.

It's nothing, the most hateful thing is that you pay for your own meals.

Let Xiao Wu nibble on bread and watch Chen Lao Er eat a big meal, how can she stand this, she should eat and drink as a result, anyway, she has no money, and the second brother can't let her eat the overlord meal.

Chen Lao Er's advantage is obviously not so easy to take advantage of, do a day's work, go home to settle accounts, Xiao Wu not only has nothing left, but also owes a lot, fortunately, Chen Lao Er still has a conscience, and gives five yuan and ten yuan each time, all depending on his mood.

Xiao Wu was unwilling, but he had to continue, after all, he had so much pocket money every week, and it was good to earn more.

Of course, Chen Laoer's routines are far more than these, Xiao Wu is also a battle-hardened battle, her life in Yanjing can be summed up as a history of blood and tears fighting wits and courage with Chen Laoer, she thought, when she returns to Dengzhou, how can she find the field.
