Zhuang Chengyun left, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was completely clear.

As a loyal supporter of Li Qiuyu, Xiao Chang undoubtedly stood on her team, and the rest were led by the old stubborn, the three young people all obeyed him, and the two small groups disdained each other, neither spoke nor paid attention to each other, and even ate their own camps, divided into two.

As soon as Ji Wei came back, he saw two open tables in the kitchen, shabu mutton and pork stewed vermicelli, all of which were hot and smoking.

"Why are you guys, do you have to divide the capital cuisine and Fengtian cuisine after a meal?" She is now carrying two babies in her belly, and she is very hungry, and she thought that she would be able to eat a proper lunch when she comes back, but now that she has lunch, she just doesn't know which table to sit at......

As Zhuang Chengyun's wife, the hostess of this courtyard, even if she has any opinions about Xiao Chang and Li Qiuyu, she has to save some face for her husband and greet them with a smile, but at the other table, they are all friends who are dedicated to her!

"Well, I'm not very hungry, you guys eat first." She pretended to be melancholy, went back to the house and changed into light cotton clothes and cotton pants, and hurriedly walked away.

That kind of meal is easy to eat heart attack, it is better to draw a cake to satisfy your hunger, and you can save time to inquire about buying a courtyard house.

On snowy days, there are no people on the road, only a few cleaners shoveling snow along the way to keep the road clear.

Ji Wei looked around, and always felt that one of the medium-sized cleaners had a very familiar face, but the man turned his head, it was really!

"Qi Wenhua!" She beckoned to her with a hot water bottle, "What did you do here, I always thought you were on your own street." ”

Compared with Ji Wei, who is wrapped in three layers here and three layers outside, Qi Wenhua is much thinner, and only a torn collar of the shirt is exposed in the collar of the wide overalls, so that when the cold wind blows, the already thin body is almost torn into hemp rods, and the pair of mille-feuille bottoms on his feet are afraid that they have entered the snow, and there are already water marks on the upper, which makes people shiver when they look at it.

"I'm still on my own street, it's a temporary job, as long as I come to shovel snow once a day at noon, and take care of food." Qi Wenhua rubbed her frozen red nose, and her speech was still gentle, I don't know if it was because of the increasingly mean cold or the increasing workload, her back was obviously a little rickety, and at first glance, she looked a bit like a little old man.

Ji Wei wanted to say that instead of saving the noon lunch break to clear the snow and earn more than a few dollars a month, it is better to take a good rest and put all your energy on your studies, it is already very hard to get up before dawn every day to work, and the body is the capital of the revolution.

But my mind involuntarily popped up: why not eat minced meat.

She pursed her lips and didn't dare to mention it again.

"I have relatives who want to buy a house in the capital, you grew up in the neighborhood and know a lot of people, can you help me inquire about who has a surplus courtyard, as long as the house is not too long, the price is negotiable

"You want to buy a courtyard house?" It was as if a puddle of stagnant water had suddenly injected a little light into its eyes, as if a flame of hope was jumping in it!

"Hmm......" Ji Wei asked her tentatively, "Do you really know?" ”

"You come with me!" Qi Wenhua seemed anxious, but her cheeks were red with joy because of excitement, and she didn't even have time to put down the shovel, so she pulled Ji Wei into a short alley nearby.

Compared with Songshu Hutong, the specifications of this courtyard are obviously not in the stream, and it was more like the mansion of a small rich family in the early days, but later it was all contributed to the majority of working people.

Qi Wenhua led her to a courtyard with a broken outer wall, took out the key hanging around his neck and opened the courtyard door......

After passing the Hanging Flower Gate, Ji Wei knew what it meant to have a cave!

This courtyard looks inconspicuous on the outside, but the inside is wide and spacious than Zhuang Chengyun and their house is only big and not small, the whole is a green brick and wooden structure, after so many years of wind and rain, even a brick and tile has not been moved, but no one has come in to take care of it for a long time, the yard is covered with dead leaves and snow, it seems a little depressed and deserted, but also because of this, all the architectural features here are maintained a hundred years ago ancient and simple, the painting under the eaves, the carving on the doors and windows, stroke by stroke, are the best witness of history.

"The dead grass in front of the shadow wall was deliberately arranged by me." Qi Wenhua scratched his head embarrassedly, "This courtyard is handed down from my ancestors, and it is also my grandmother's grandfather's family, the two elders were both university professors back then, and then they were beaten into stinky old nine and couldn't survive, and my mother inherited here, so I can clear the snow on this street." ”

Speaking of her mother, her expression became more and more lonely, "My mother was afraid that this place would be confiscated at that time, so she deliberately let out the word that the courtyard was haunted, and it happened that a little red boy would smash his head when he was going to raid the house, so that the bricks flying down from the eaves smashed his head, which led to the fact that he had been crazy all the time, so the haunted things became more and more evil, and no one dared to come in for so many years." ”

This girl is also a sincere person, rushing to sell the house, and for a while she didn't brake the bottom of the handlebar and turned it clean, and only after saying it did she remember that these were taboo for others.

She cautiously checked Ji Wei's face, "Classmate Guo Mai, I can assure you that this courtyard is clean, your relatives won't dislike it, right?" ”

There have been so many old mansions throughout the ages, and there have not been a few people in them, and there are naturally not a few evil things, even if there is really that thing, the body is not afraid of the shadow, Ji Wei doesn't care.

Sometimes the living are much more terrible than the dead!

However, why the bricks flew down on this eaves for no reason is quite interesting.

She raised her head and swept around the eaves, compared to the banker, this courtyard is much more standard, in addition to the courtyard door, the east and west wings and the main room, the inverted seat room, the verandah, the ear room and the back cover room are all well preserved.

"No, we won't engage in feudal superstition, but if you sell this courtyard to me, will your family object?" After all, in order to protect this yard, her mother began to pretend to be a ghost.

Qi Wenhua shook his head, "My mother doesn't want such a good yard to be reduced to a dormitory like others before choosing to preserve it, if she meets a good buyer, I believe she will definitely be willing to sell, only me and my father are left in the house now, we can't keep it at all, and we also need money to live, the yard is dead and the people are alive, but Guo Mai is a good person, I believe that your relatives are also good people, and they will definitely treat this yard well." ”

It is not so much about protecting ancient buildings as it is about protecting the colors left in ancient buildings, which is almost an instinct of art students.

Besides, this courtyard originally fits Ji Wei's eyes, and there is nothing good to ink, "Tell me how much you plan to sell this courtyard?" ”

"Don't you have to go back and ask your relatives?" Qi Wenhua didn't expect her to be so straightforward, pointing to the door of this house, "Otherwise, I'll take you around again, and then go back and ask your relatives if you think it's appropriate, so as not to make people complain about you at that time." ”

"No, people just ask me to buy it, and I can make my own decisions."

Qi Wenhua began to hesitate again.

She was still a student, and although she had worked as a cleaner, she really didn't know much about business, and she was a little shy to even negotiate prices, as if this was not what a scholar should do.

But when she thought of the situation at home, she still mustered up the courage and stretched out a finger to Ji Wei tremblingly.

Ten thousand.

10,000 is about the same, although the area of this courtyard is a little larger than the ordinary one, but in the end there is still a rumor of a haunted, no matter which era, the haunted house can not afford to sell at a good price, this has always been a conventional rule.

Ji Wei was just about to nod, when he heard Qi Wenhua whispering with his fingers, "If I have this thousand yuan, I can quit the work of clearing the snow at noon, and have more time to memorize words, my English is really not very good, and I can also change a new cotton coat for my father, the cotton wool in his clothes is about to be eaten by insects, and there can be a stove at home, otherwise it will be cold and I can't open my fingers when I write my homework......"

"......" said that she just wanted a thousand yuan for a long time......

She looked at her stupid classmate speechlessly, "Actually, your yard can be sold for a lot of more money......
