419. Soft nails
The French Concession was the most prosperous area of Puhai before the liberation, but there was also a very large difference between the rich and the poor, with the rich living in the south and the poor living in the north.
In recent years, it has been divided into Luwan District and Xuhui District, but later Luwan District was merged into Huangpu District, while the poor area in the north was merged into Luwan District, and the best part of the French Concession was divided into Xuhui District.
Near Tongren Road, it is undoubtedly the core area of the original French Concession, where there are all kinds of old-fashioned garden houses with different styles, which are generally built during the Republic of China or earlier at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these houses represent a period of history in Puhai, and there have been many historical celebrities who have lived in these mansions.
Some of these bungalows were built by the high-ranking officials and compradors of the colonies at that time, and some were built by the business tycoons later during the Republic of China.
In the early days of the liberation of the country, especially in the initial turbulent period of national construction, these houses were once destroyed, and many of them were divided into poor people, especially during the period of the movement, these houses were once divided into a lot of ordinary people, and there was even a 'grand occasion' of five or six families crowded in a western-style house.
Later, after the leader of the circle implemented the new policy and set things right, many of these houses were taken back by the government, some of them found the original owners, or their descendants returned to their original owners, and the other part, if they couldn't find the owner, they simply rebuilt and renovated at the government's expense, and preserved as history.
Although in recent years, the concept of small villas has begun to rise in Puhai. But even in expensive cottages. At this time, it is difficult to match the price of such a small garden house.
One is because the location of these garden houses is really good. The second is also because of his scarcity, and the third is because of his historical value, so the price of these bungalows in Puhai is definitely not low, and it is no longer a problem to reach millions at every turn.
The most important thing is that such a small bungalow is not something you can buy if you have money, because the source of such a bungalow is too few and too scarce.
And the value of such a garden villa is actually the same as the courtyard house in the capital ten years later. They all belong to the kind of high-end residential areas that have no price in the market.
Some of the original owners have been returned to their original owners, while others have been listed by the government as historical and cultural relics, and even if you want to buy them, you can't buy them.
On the one hand, the price is expensive, on the other hand, people are not very willing to buy, after all, if it is not too down, no one wants to buy their ancestral house, and secondly, everyone is not stupid, and we all know that the price of such a house will only rise in the future. Therefore, if you are not forced to the extreme, no one wants to buy a bungalow in such a place.
And Tang Tian's aunt was able to be in such a good location. Getting such a very well-preserved bungalow with a yard shows that Tang Tian's aunt's background and energy are quite not simple.
Li Yifan parked the car outside the door of this garden villa, the environment of this street is very no, the road is not wide, only two rows of lanes, and both sides of the road are planted with French plane trees, lush, on both sides of the road, almost all such old-fashioned small bungalows and villas, if it is not for the shining neon lights on the skyscrapers in the distance, in a trance will think that they have suddenly returned to a different Puhai decades ago.
Tang Tian got out of the car and rang the doorbell of the villa, and soon someone came out to open the courtyard door of the villa, standing at the door was a very well-aged woman who thought that she was very well-maintained, her long hair was coiled up, her face was pale, and when she saw Tang Tian, she immediately shouted.
"Oops! Tiantian, why did you arrive so late, but I'm worried about death. ”
The woman who came out was obviously Tang Tian's aunt, and as soon as she opened the door, she took Tang Tian's hand and complained vigorously, her eyes were completely unnetted, and Li Yifan glanced at it.
And behind this middle-aged beauty, there is also a young man, this young man is slender, very slender, with a half-long hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very handsome, very in line with the feminine aesthetics of half men and half women that are popular ten years later.
At this time, he also looked at Tang Tian who was standing in front of the middle-aged woman, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Tiantian, why didn't you call earlier, but my mother and I were in a hurry."
The young man said to Tang Tian with a little smile on the corner of his mouth, but from his expression, he couldn't see a little anxious look.
"Well, it's nothing, the road is a little jammed, I didn't want you to worry about it, I'm not sure when it will arrive, I don't want you to wait, so I didn't fight, but I didn't expect it to make you worry, I'm really sorry."
Facing such a relative, Tang Tian returned to the demeanor of the iceberg queen in the past, and it could be seen that she and her relatives were not very close.
"Hey! You kid, what can't you wait, then you should have called earlier!? ”
Tang Tian's aunt still didn't glance at Li Yifan, who was standing beside Tang Tian, it was completely when he didn't exist, and at this time, Li Yifan also noticed that the young man standing behind Tang Tian's aunt had a disdainful gaze that swept towards him.
"I forgot to introduce to you, this is my classmate, Li Yifan, I came by his car."
Tang Tian also noticed her aunt's demeanor and didn't want to embarrass Li Yifan, so she still introduced Li Yifan and her aunt.
"Well, hello Xiao Li."
Tang Qingxi's chin was raised, and the corner of his eye swept Li Yifan, but he quickly moved away, and he turned a blind eye to Li Yifan's right hand that stretched out to shake hands with her, and he didn't even mean to raise his hand.
Looking at other people's jiashi, they didn't take Li Yifan in their eyes at all, and that high-minded jiashi really made Li Yifan feel a little angry!
And the young man standing behind her laughed even more, and the contemptuous look on his face became even heavier, obviously treating Li Yifan as if he was a joke, which really made Li Yifan a little annoyed.
Tang Tian also saw that her aunt seemed to look down on Li Yifan a little bit Although she didn't know that it was weishenme, she was also a little angry, but Tang Tian was the kind of person who was not close to her, and she never just invited someone who leaked out, so she continued.
"Yifan, it's my aunt Tang Qingxi, and my cousin Tao Ran, by the way, you drove for a day, and you're tired, otherwise go to the house and sit down, take a shower or something, anyway, my aunt and their house is big, if you don't mind, just live here tonight!"
Tang Tian is expressing her meaning to her aunt in this way, don't look down on people like this, he is my good friend.
And Tang Qingxi obviously didn't expect Tang Tian to invite Li Yifan to live at home tonight, the expression on her face changed suddenly, but she quickly adjusted again.
"Yes, yes! If you don't dislike it, then Mr. Li will live at home tonight, anyway, there are enough rooms at home! ”
Although she was inviting Li Yifan, a fool could see that she didn't really want to invite Li Yifan to live at home.
Hearing Tang Tian's invitation, Li Yifan was really happy, but when he saw her aunt's family, he immediately felt uncomfortable.
If he had changed to someone else's house or place, Li Yifan would have gritted his teeth and would definitely stay, but seeing Tang Qingxi's look, Li Yifan felt that he really couldn't afford to stick his hot face to other people's cold butts, which was boring!
Even if you really have a cheeky face, it will only make both sides unhappy.
"Hehe, no, I've booked a room at the Jin Mao Building, if I don't go over tonight, people will cancel my appointment, and it's very troublesome to book it again, so I'd better go there to live." It's not too early, Tang Tian, hurry up and go in with your aunt, and we'll call when we get back. ”
Hearing Li Yifan say this, Tang Tian's aunt's face looked a little better at this time.
"That's it, that's it, let's go, Xiao Li, it's the tourist season, the room in the Jin Mao Building is not so easy to order, if you go late, you will definitely be snatched away by others."
And Tang Tian's expression became a little melancholy, it turned out that she didn't like it very much, this very shili aunt and her family, if it weren't for her parents repeatedly emphasizing this time, she wouldn't have lived in their house at all.
Unexpectedly, just after arriving at the door, my aunt gave Li Yifan a dismount, which was too much, didn't her father tell her about the relationship between Li Yifan and herself?
Li Yifan really didn't want to look at Tang Qingxi's face, so he waved at Tang Tian, and then turned around and walked towards his Land Rover.
It wasn't until he pulled the car door and got into the car that Tang Tian's cousin, Tao Ran, muttered.
"Little red guy, is the car still quite haode! It's just that people are a little ......."
Tao Ran's words, Tang Tian heard it very clearly, she turned her head and stared at Tao Ran fiercely, Tang Qingxi also noticed Tang Tian's anger, and hurriedly pretended to lightly hit Tao Ran twice.
"You kid, don't help your cousin with what nonsense, take your luggage in......"
The family turned around and entered the villa, and at this time, Li Yifan, who had already driven to the corner of the street, had the corners of his mouth hooked, and his face was replaced with a cold expression.
I just ate a soft nail in Tang Qingxi's place, which really annoyed him, this family is too shili, right? Besides, there is nothing rude about themselves, how can they target themselves like this? (To be continued......)
