Cheng Lu saw that Xiao Yuanhang didn't say anything, thinking that he was dissatisfied, and hurriedly explained: "Wu Xiaoli is not with me now, and the house she rented expired, and the landlord increased the price, and once it rose, it almost doubled the price, which made it difficult for her to accept." It just so happens that I am in the same class as her, and when I go and she comes back, I come back and she goes, so let her move to your place and live with me. Her family is very burdened, and it is not easy, I think that if I move away from you, the house is empty, so it is better to let her live, so as to reduce her burden, and someone will show you the house. Voyage, if you don't want me I'll let her move out. ”

Xiao Yuanhang sighed secretly in his heart, and had to say: "Cheng Lu, I don't mean that at all, anyway, I can't live for a few days a year, Sister Xiaoli can still take care of the house for me if she goes to live, saving me the money to find someone to take care of it." ”

Cheng Lu breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Yuanhang, you just said that you will come to the capital in a few days, have you decided on any day?" ”

Xiao Yuanhang said: "I plan to go at noon on Friday, and I can go to the capital on Saturday morning, finish my work, and come back by car on Sunday night." ”

Cheng Lu immediately calculated her shift, and said with a sigh: "Yuanhang, I can only come back this Sunday afternoon, and it will be late to get home after the retirement, and we won't meet at all!" ”

Xiao Yuanhang thought for a while and said: "Cheng Lu, then I will take the noon car on Saturday, go to the capital on Sunday morning, go to run errands during the day, pick you up at night, and I will go back to Guhe on Monday night, so that I can squeeze out a day to accompany you." ”

Cheng Lu was very happy when he heard this, and said, "Yuanhang, great! I'll make you something to eat on Sunday night! ”

Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "Okay, then let's make a decision!" ”

Considering that all ministries and commissions in the capital were closed on Sunday, Xiao Yuanhang was afraid that he would not be able to see the house on Sunday, so he first made a phone call to Xu Wenye, Xu Wenye's negotiations to acquire Jibei Iron and Steel Company had reached a critical stage, and every day was very busy. If you want to find him, you have to call after 10 p.m. to find him.

"Who?" Xiao Yuanhang asked the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to give him a long-distance promotion at 10 o'clock in the evening, and waited until 10:20 to get through, but fortunately, Xu Wenye had returned to the club, and the voice on the phone was very tired.

Xiao Yuanhang said: "Little fifth brother, it's me, Xiao Yuanhang." ”

When Xu Wenye heard that it was Xiao Yuanhang, he sat up straight all of a sudden, and he was also energetic when he spoke: "It's Xiao Xiao, why are you calling so late?" ”

Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "Little Fifth Brother, I can't find you even if I call early!" ”

Xu Wenye smiled and said, "Yes, I don't go back to the club until after 10 o'clock in the evening these days." ”

Xiao Yuanhang said: "Little fifth brother." I want to go to the capital this Sunday to see the courtyard you found for me, but I'm afraid that the garden management office will not be able to see it on Sunday, my time is limited, you can take a look and coordinate it. ”

Xu Wenye said with a smile: "This matter is easy to do, you can come to see the house whenever you want, I can just say hello to the garden management office." ”

Xiao Yuanhang said with a smile: "That's good, I can go to the capital on Sunday morning, and I will go directly to see the house when I get out of the car." ”

Xu Wenye said: "Okay, I'll pick you up at the station on Sunday." Then go and see the house together. ”

After going to work the next day, Xiao Yuanhang came to the office of stationmaster Zhou Jianguo and said, "Stationmaster Zhou, I have to go to the capital on Sunday." To deal with some things in the graduate class, I have to take a day off on Monday. ”

Zhou Jianguo said with a smile: "Can you come back in two days when the capital is so far away?" ”

Xiao Yuanhang said: "If things go smoothly, you should be able to come back." ”

Zhou Jianguo said: "There is nothing so much at the station now, if the matter is not done, don't rush back." Come back on Tuesday and Wednesday, and arrange your work before you go. ”

Xiao Yuanhang saw that Zhou Jianguo was thinking about himself everywhere, and he was very happy. said: "Okay, Stationmaster Zhou, I'll try to come back as soon as possible." ”

The matter of the shift meeting was arranged to Tang Zhenglin, Xiao Yuanhang stepped on the train from Songjiang to the capital at noon on Sunday, without saying anything all the way, and arrived in the capital the next morning, Xu Wenye, Chang Jianhua and Xiao Lizi 3 people went to the station to pick up Xiao Yuanhang, and after having breakfast at a hotel near the station, Xiao Lizi drove directly to Dongcheng District.

Xu Wenye found Xiao Yuanhang's courtyard house in the Hutong District of Dongcheng District, the car got off the main road and entered the Hutong District, in fact, the Hutong in the old city was originally very spacious, but the residents here piled up a lot of rags on the side of the road, making the road narrow, and some sections of the road were so narrow that they couldn't get the wrong car.

Passing through the area of the old courtyard, the front of the road can not help but brighten, the road in front of it is wider, this piece is the house of the official eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty, because these houses are allocated to the ministries and commissions and the Beijing Municipal Government, except for a few well-preserved houses that live in people's homes, the others are not inhabited, therefore, there are few tattered things on the side of the road, the car drives all the way to the innermost, and stops in front of a dilapidated house.

After getting out of the car, Xu Wenye pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said, "Xiao Xiao, this is the courtyard I found!" ”

Xiao Yuanhang looked up, the wooden planks of the two main doors had cracked and scattered, and the outside was nailed obliquely with a few new planks before they were scattered, and a big lock was hung in the middle of the door. There are almost no tiles on the gatehouse, a few broken half-cut tiles are pressed on it horizontally and vertically, and below are withered yellow weeds and bare loess, and the green bricks of the three steps in front of the gate are missing, and there are almost no steps anymore.

On both sides of the gate are walls more than two meters high, and the upper part of the walls on both sides has collapsed in several places, which is made up with red bricks, and the gray-black blue bricks and red bricks form a sharp contrast......

Xu Wenye looked at his watch and said, "I made an appointment with Section Chief Liu to see the house at 8 o'clock, and there are still 15 minutes, let's take a look around first." Around this courtyard circle, the surrounding walls have collapsed in many places, all of which are repaired with red bricks, and some places are not even cement ash, they are directly built with bricks, and they have to fall down by pushing by hand!

After waiting for a while before returning to the main gate, Xiao Yuanhang came in a hurry on a bicycle, and Xu Wenye saw it and said, "Section Chief Liu is here." ”

Section Chief Liu rode to Xu Wenye and got out of the car, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Xu Shao, I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while just now when I sent my child to cram school." ”

Xu Wenye waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Section Chief Liu, let's look at the house." ”

Section Chief Liu took out the key to open the lock, and laboriously pushed open half of the door, Xiao Yuanhang walked in to take a look, although the first main house was dilapidated, and some of the window frames and door frames were gone, but they were still standing, and the wings on both sides had collapsed, and it was simply a pile of stone rubble!
