This morning.

As soon as they arrived in Dongcheng District, the two got out of the car, Li Yange followed closely behind Xue Ke's buttocks, entered the alley, and turned around, making Li Yange's head dizzy: "Where are you taking me?" ”

Xue Ke sold a pass: "It's in front, you'll know when you get to the place." ”

Li Yange rolled his eyes, didn't ask any more, and continued to walk behind, and after a while, he saw a sign in front of him, which said "Nanluoguxiang".

"The courtyard house you said is here?" Seeing this alley name, Li Yange was a little surprised.

For this place, he is not familiar but not unfamiliar, the famous characteristic bar street in Beijing in later generations, all of which are dominated by small bungalows in courtyards, unlike Sanlitun and Houhai, most of the bars here are relatively quiet and prefer to be clear.

"Still in it, do you know Yu'er Hutong?"

After speaking, Xue Ke's straight steps suddenly changed, and he drilled into the alley on the right.

Yu'er Alley?

Li Yange was stunned, he didn't expect that the courtyard house that Xue Ke helped him find was actually this, you must know that there were many famous people who lived in Yu'er Hutong, and later generations were also quite famous, and Qi Baishi's former residence memorial hall is located here.

"Xue Ke, where is the courtyard you talked about yesterday?" Li Yange looked left and right at the narrow and long alley, with potholes of green bricks on both sides, and green moss, which looked very dilapidated.

"That's right, that family lives at No. 28 Yu'er Hutong."

Xue Ke was walking in front and suddenly turned around and said, "Look! Hutong No. 13, formerly the former residence of Qi Baishi, was listed as a cultural relics protection unit in Dongcheng District last year. ”

Li Yange scratched the back of his head, he originally thought that he would let Xue Ke find a courtyard house at random, as long as it was not too far from the school, but he didn't expect Xue Ke to find it.

"It's here!" Not long after leaving, the two arrived at the gate of a courtyard, Xue Ke slapped the courtyard door hard, and then turned around and said: "Yan Ge, if you like it, don't say it yet, I heard that this family mainly emigrated abroad, and we are in a hurry to make a move, and we can still press the price." ”

Without waiting for Li Yange to answer, there was movement in the house, and after a while, a person opened the courtyard door, poked out a head and first looked at the two of them, and then looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was following, he said, "Come in." ”

The man's sneaky appearance, if Li Yange didn't know that he was buying and selling houses, he might have thought he was engaged in smuggling.

"Remember what I say." The man entered the house, and Xue Ke turned around and mentioned it to Li Yange again.

"Got it." Li Yange nodded, his mental age is enough to be Xue Ke's elder, he still doesn't understand this?

What's more, he may not buy this courtyard house yet.

As soon as he raised his feet and entered the courtyard gate, good guy, he didn't see anything, where was a not big shadow wall pestle, and he was stunned for Li Yange for a few seconds, until Xue Ke called him, he didn't react and walked in.

When he arrived in the courtyard, the middle-aged man took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to Xue Ke and Li Yange. ”

Li Yange stepped forward with a smile and said, "Hello, hello, I want to see this courtyard, and I don't know your surname yet." ”

"King!"

"Then I'll call you Brother Wang!"

"Yes."

While speaking, Brother Wang looked him up and down, with a white shirt and black trousers, looking twenty-six or seventeen years old.

Li Yange didn't care about the other party's unscrupulous eyes, and when he came over today, he deliberately dressed up a little more maturely. Glancing around, the place is not small, just the courtyard where he is standing now, it is estimated that it is almost fifty or sixty square meters.

When Brother Wang saw him looking around, he also waited patiently for a while before he said, "How are you looking?" My yard is one of the best in Yu'er Hutong, although the area is not the largest, but there are almost 200 square meters, our family has been living before, the furniture inside is still new, a little tidying up can live in. Why don't I take you inside? ”

"There's no hurry." Li Yange shook his head: "Brother Wang, is the property right of this courtyard yours alone?" ”

Brother Wang said: "Of course, our family has lived here for decades, if it weren't for my son immigrating to the United States last year, I would really be reluctant to sell, after all, this is an ancestral property." ”

said that the ancestral property was reluctant to sell, but Li Yange looked at his face like that, and he didn't seem to see how reluctant he was.

"Immigrants?" Li Yange suddenly exclaimed, not only frightened Wang Zheng, but also Xue Ke on the side.

"yes, what's wrong with the immigrants?"

"That's amazing, Brother Wang, your son is too powerful, he can actually immigrate to the United States, I had a relative who also wanted to immigrate to the United States, and their family also had a relative in the United States, but it has been unsuccessful for a long time, saying that he is not qualified......"

"That's called immigration eligibility!"

Brother Wang said with a faint smug face: "I'm not messing with the two of you, my son used to be a college student at Tsinghua University, and later studied in the United States. ”

"Awesome!" Li Yange gave a thumbs up, swept his eyes left and right, and pretended to be casual and said: "Then Brother Wang, you don't need to sell this courtyard, I look at the courtyard very well, maybe in the future, if you return to China to visit relatives, you can still have a place to live." ”

"We immigrated to the United States this time, and we may not be able to come back once a year, even if we come back to visit relatives, we can just live in relatives' homes when the time comes, you are young and don't know how expensive the plane ticket to go abroad is!" Brother Wang said that the plane ticket was expensive, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

There are only a handful of people who have taken a plane this year, let alone a plane abroad, the last time Brother Wang heard his son call back from an international call, saying that it would take dozens of hours to take a plane, and his ass would not be broken at this time?

No, I have to tell my wife to make two soft pads, and when the time comes, get on the plane and put them under the buttocks.

"That's, let alone flying, our brothers haven't seen what a plane looks like until now."

As he spoke, Li Yange sighed with a sigh on his face, and Xue Ke on the side didn't know what was going on at this time, and complained in his heart, but he also had an expression of envy on his face.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Brother Wang was overjoyed, waved his hand and continued to show off: "It's okay, you are still young, and you will be able to get on the plane sooner or later if you work hard in the future, but this immigrant, I estimate that you have no hope, and now immigrating abroad is not just anyone who can immigrate." I didn't read the newspaper a few days ago that people from many places lined up in front of the U.S. Embassy every day just to get an immigration qualification. ”

"Yes, yes, what Brother Wang said."

Li Yange didn't refute either, anyway, he followed the words of this big brother Wang vigorously, and just slapped his ass.

After chatting for a while, I didn't mention the matter of the house, and I was talking to Brother Wang about the mountains the whole time.

Maybe it was because his mouth was dry, Brother Wang glanced at the sky and said dryly: "What's that, do you value this house?" ”

"It's almost the same, I'm very satisfied, but the price is ......"

Li Yange gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Wang, in fact, I know that you are also in a hurry to sell this price, but you see that you are going to the United States to enjoy happiness soon, and this RMB is not much money when converted into US dollars, so you should not give it cheaper." ”

is about to take a plane to become an American, Brother Wang naturally learned about the exchange rate early, seeing Li Yange say this, he hesitated for a while: "Even a few dollars are money, after all, it is an ancestral property, and we have already lost money by selling so much." But I see that you really want to buy it, so let's reduce this number on the basis of what was negotiated before! ”

Brother Wang compared it to five.

This means five hundred less, not five thousand.

"Brother Wang, what do you think of this number!" Li Yange compared two.

"This number ......" Brother Wang frowned, a kid lost two thousand yuan, he was really distressed, put it in the past, it would take a year to earn it back.

"Brother Wang, you see that you are going to the United States to earn Americans' money, one dollar is worth three of us, this little money, you can earn it back in a month over there, but I heard that being a teacher in the United States is very profitable."

After speaking, he saw that this big brother Wang was a little hesitant, and immediately followed: "In this way, as long as you agree to this amount, you will draft the contract now, I will pay a part of the deposit first, and we will come over tomorrow morning to pay the final payment." ”

"This ...... Okay, okay, I said that I would come over tomorrow to pay the final payment, and after tomorrow, it won't count, and I won't refund the deposit. ”

Li Yange was overjoyed, but there was still a hint of embarrassment on his face: "The deposit is not refunded?" ”

"Of course I won't return, I'm missing this number, if you don't come tomorrow, won't it delay my time?"

"Okay!" He gritted his teeth: "Brother Wang is angry, we are not illiterate people, we will come tomorrow morning, you will accept the deposit if you don't come!" ”

"That's right!" Brother Wang was full of smiles, he really hoped that Li Yange would not come over tomorrow, so that he would get a certain amount of gold for nothing.
