Chapter Twenty-Six: The End of the Trip to City B
The boss said to play, but Chen Yixin didn't take it seriously.
The red rope was in the boss's store, and she didn't want it to the money family, so in the end, Chen Yixin knitted a few bracelets and strung some copper coins to barter.
Qiao Feng chose a calligraphy work worth thousands of dollars, and the boss gave him a camphor wood box.
Out of the store, the two boys took the initiative to carry copper coins, and Xiao Yiyan said that he would take them to eat authentic snacks in City B.
Song Xiu and Ruan Jia will leave at noon the next day, Chen Yixin will stay one more day, and tonight will be a meal for five people.
There is good food near the hotel. They went back to the room and put copper coins and calligraphy works, came out to find a small alley, and under the leadership of Xiao Yiyan, entered a courtyard house with an ordinary appearance.
"Don't underestimate here, this uncle is the imperial chef, but it's a pity that most of the craftsmanship was lost to him, but it's the rest, and it's a must. ”
Xiao Yiyan spoke, and led them to open the door curtain and enter, there was a hole inside.
The east courtyard has been renovated, a slip of bungalows, in front of which is a bluestone path, each room is not big, and can sit five or six people at most.
They asked for the one at the end, and when they sat down, a young man came to greet them.
"Xiao Yan brought a friend again? Today you are lucky, there are fresh sheep and scorpions, you want to have a pot?"
Several outsiders had never eaten this, and looked at Xiao Yiyan with blank eyes.
"Scorpions, aren't scorpions poisonous, can they be eaten?"
"Hahahaha, I don't understand. It's not a scorpion, it's a sheep scorpion. Sheep scorpion is the backbone of a sheep with tenderloin and bone marrow, and the taste is unique. ”
Qiao Feng made a joke and touched his head in a daze.
"Then let's have a pot, two more stir-fries, and a few bottles of soy milk. ”
Xiao Yiyan ordered the food skillfully, and began to brag to them about the boss's cooking skills.
"Brother, it's really a big loss for the cross talk world if you don't say stand-up comedy. ”
Qiao Feng was stunned by him, and patted Xiao Yiyan's shoulder to express his knees.
"The teachers said there was a summer camp in the summer, do you want to come and participate?"
This summer camp is held in B University, there are not many places, their award-winning students can give priority to sign up to ensure that there is a place, but the cost of the summer camp is not low, a total of 2,003 for 14 days, including round-trip fares, meals and clothing.
"Originally, it wasn't so high, but I heard that this summer camp will invite a few professors to give lectures, so the price will be raised. ”
Song Xiu shook her head, a little depressed.
"I probably won't be able to come. ”
Everyone knows that Song Xiu's family is an ordinary family, and about 1,000 summer camps can still participate, and 2,003 is equivalent to two months' salary of her parents, and it is estimated that she is embarrassed to speak.
Chen Yixin was a little hesitant.
She is not short of money, and if she earns it herself, she will come to participate, and her family will not object. But whether this is necessary, she still has to think about it.
Her original plan was to take advantage of the summer vacation to find an opportunity to earn some more money, and if she wanted to stay in City B for half a month, it would definitely have a big impact on her plan.
"Eh, it's okay, it's okay, you go back and think about it, anyway, we all left our contact information, and it's not that we can't get in touch in the future. ”
Ruan Jia saw the embarrassment of the two good friends, glared at Qiao Feng, and quickly diverted the topic.
Chen Yixin is much more mature in the end, and he didn't take this matter to heart. But Song Xiu was depressed, and she didn't speak much later.
"Xiu'er, if it's convenient for the summer vacation, let's come to your house to play, and you have to be responsible for the reception. ”
Ruan Jia took Song Xiu's hand and asked if there was anything delicious and fun at her house, anyway, she didn't want to see Song Xiu sad.
Early the next morning, the five of them made an appointment to meet by the lake on the campus of University B, and took a photo of Xiao Yiyan and sent it to them after washing it out.
The copper coins that were cleaned up the night before were all given to Xiao Yiyan if they weren't needed, so heavy, Chen Yixin couldn't carry them home.
Not long after breakfast, Yan Mingli arrived as promised and drove a Jetta.
"Brother Yan, are you going on a blind date?"
Ruan Jia and the others all followed the teacher to the train station to wait for the train, only Chen Yixin and Xiao Yiyan made an appointment to climb the mountain, and went to Xinhua Bookstore for a walk after lunch.
Yan Mingli flicked Chen Yixin's head and asked them to get into the car.
"This car was bought by my cousin, don't take you out to play, I borrowed it on purpose, it's troublesome to catch the bus, and I almost have to eat lunch when I arrive." ”
It is much more convenient to have a car, and all the way over, Yan Mingli did not take the main road, there were many low bungalows on both sides, and some houses looked crumbling.
"It used to be rural, but now it's urbanized, and these houses are uninhabited and collapsed in a few years. Earlier it was said that it would be demolished, but it turned out that it was the east side that was demolished. ”
Uncle Yan Mingli's house is in this area, which used to be the family area of the steel mill in City B, but later the steel mill was relocated, and this area became a "slum area".
"Is there a house for sale?" they walked along the village road and saw someone hanging a sign on the door saying it was for sale.
"Don't buy a house here, you can't live in it. There was no water and no gas, only electricity, the voltage was not stable, and it tripped at night in summer. ”
Xiao Yiyan's grandfather's house is similar to this side, but in the north. There is also a lot of farmland over there, and the popularity is much more prosperous than here.
"Are the houses here expensive?"
"It's not expensive. Such a courtyard is about 30,000 pieces of land in its entirety, including the open space before and after, covering an area of at least 500 square meters. But if you look at the surrounding environment, if you can't live in it, it's equivalent to putting money there. ”
Yan Mingli said that two years ago, some people thought that this place would be demolished, so they hurriedly bought two sets, but they waited for two years and did not wait for news, and now the family is so anxious that no one will take over the original price.
"The one who started with him, the one he bought in the east, the area is smaller than his two sets, and he has earned several times as much. Not to mention the loss of the house, but also the loss of money. ”
Yan Mingli glanced in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Yixin looking at the small farm yard outside.
Demolition is fast money, but it also depends on the location, no one's money is blown by the wind, and it is a huge pit if you make a wrong bet. The cooperation between him and Liu Bin has only begun, and he doesn't want to ruin the future because of a little invisible hope.
After going down the mountain, Yan Mingli took the two of them to find a farmhouse dish to eat, roast chicken in an earthen oven, and eat it with a round stomach, Xiao Yiyan also deliberately left an address, saying that he would bring his family to taste the food.
After sending the two children to Xinhua Bookstore, Yan Mingli left, and in the evening, Chen Yixin was going to go to Mr. Cheng's classmates for dinner, and Yan Mingli was going home to see his parents.
When they came out of the bookstore, each of them carried a pocket, which was full of various reference books.
The review materials here are more complete and more than Chen Yixin's house, especially the books on science competitions, and she doesn't know whether they are good or bad, so she picked up different ones and gave Wei Zhong a set.
In addition, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Ma asked her to help bring the information books, and gave the titles and money for the books, adding up to more than a dozen books.
"If you need any information in the future, don't be polite to me, just tell me, I bought it and sent it to you, anyway, the post office package is not expensive." ”
Xiao Yiyan helped carry it back to the hotel, and his fingers were red.
"Then I'll go back, I still have to make up for the class tomorrow, and I can't send you. If you can come during the summer vacation, it's best to come and talk to other students. ”
At the end of this day, Xiao Yiyan had a vague understanding of Chen Yixin's family background, and felt that she might be richer than Song Xiu's family, in that case, participating in the summer camp should not be too much of a burden for her.
