Chapter Twenty-Seven: Courtyard Xiao Yang
Three days ago, a dilapidated courtyard house in Beijing.
After being introduced, Xiao Yang and sister-in-law Qin Ru found such a residence after several twists and turns.
The west-facing side house is just drying in the afternoon.
A house of only ten square meters, furnished with only one bed, no kang, except for a small coal-burning stove, there is nothing else.
It is said that there was originally a family living here, and the child was gone the year before last, and the old couple returned to their hometown in the countryside in frustration.
Before leaving, I gave everything away.
There are many people who want to rent in the past two years, but this small room is not used to outsiders.
Most of them moved away one by one.
"January 100, you two think you can, you can stay here tonight."
The aunt who helped open the door was talking in her mouth, but she kept looking at Qin Ru, with a pair of eagle-like eyes, always wanting to see her tightly wrapped face through the scarf.
"Okay, I'll rent this house."
Although the house is a little expensive, it is not far from the train station, and you can go to Chang'an Avenue a few more steps.
Xiao Yang has been looking for a house for a day, and the two of them have come all the way from Guangzhou, and basically have no rest.
Last night I was still in the waiting room of the train station for a night.
"That young man, I can talk about it ahead, you two live together without a marriage certificate, it's best to go to the police station to report, auntie, I believe you are sisters and brothers, but the community doesn't necessarily believe it."
That's because of the opening up of society in the past two years.
If two years earlier, just the two of them, who were undocumented and had different surnames, still wanted to rent a house, they would have been reported by the well-meaning people.
Not to say that you are a human trafficker, at least you are playing hooliganism.
The eyes of the masses of the people are not only bright, but also very righteous.
"That, she's really my sister, you see that the letters of introduction are all at the same address."
"Yo, I said guy, if it weren't for your letter of introduction, you wouldn't be able to rent this house if you want to."
Seeing Xiao Yang's embarrassed face, the aunt pretended to be kind and reminded again.
"Auntie is also for your good, if you really have the heart, you should tear up the marriage certificate as soon as possible, so that it is legal to live together."
"In addition, I said big girl, this is on the ground, you don't have to cover it so tightly, it's not good to get prickly heat when it's hot."
The aunt looks kind, but the flame of this gossip is real.
"Auntie, my sister she..."
"Xiao Yang, don't say it, I'll untie it."
"Sister!"
Ever since Qin Ru was burned, she had actually been mentally prepared. Know that this day will come sooner or later.
At the beginning, there was also the comfort of Boss Yang and Xiao Yang, so that she could survive.
But since Boss Yang came to her in front of the hospital bed, her heart died.
If it weren't for Xiao Yang's constant persuasion, he helped her find medicine everywhere for treatment, and took her out of that sad place.
She really has the heart to die.
Xiao Yang was brought up by her, and now Qin Ru doesn't want Xiao Yang to be difficult for herself.
The scarf fell, and the first thing the renting aunt saw was a good half of her face.
looks very handsome, with ruddy skin and peach blossoms.
But when Qin Ru turned around, the aunt who was still smiling just now instantly subconsciously took a step back.
The entire left side of the face, from top to bottom, is red folds, even on the white neck.
It looks like a ghost in the TV series.
"This~This~"
The aunt smacked several times, but didn't speak.
"My sister was burned, and this time we came to the capital to treat her illness."
Seeing that the aunt's expression was not good, Xiao Yang hurriedly helped her sister-in-law re-wrap the scarf, and kept explaining to the aunt.
"This is a good look, we have a lot of famous doctors in the capital, she should not be long here, and she will definitely be cured."
"Then I won't bother you, it's going to be hard to come all the way, so let's rest first."
Seeing that Qin Ru's face was rewrapped, the aunt also reacted.
After a few words of relief, he hurried to leave.
"Over there in that community, I'll help you say, don't worry, boy, it's okay."
Before going out, he said a word to Xiao Yang.
If you want to talk about Aunt Jingcheng, she is really enthusiastic, but it also depends on the person.
If Qin Ru is okay, she will think about whether this Xiao Yang has any bad intentions. Lonely men and widows live in the same house, and it is inevitable that the guns will go wrong.
But now, seeing Qin Ru's true face, the original careful thought disappeared in an instant.
I immediately felt that this little Yang person was really good.
It can't be said that she judges people by her appearance, but her appearance can indeed determine a person's first impression of another person.
Seeing her aunt leaving, Qin Ru just didn't see it.
In the past month or so, she has also seen a lot of white eyes.
helped Xiao Yang carry the luggage on the ground into the house.
"Sister-in-law, you rest first, I'll go buy some bedding and daily necessities."
The house is not big, but it is also clean. Just add something and you can live.
It's just that as soon as Xiao Yang went out, the door that had been obliquely hidden on the opposite side creaked shut.
Thinking about it, the sister-in-law took off the scarf just now, and she saw more than just the renting aunt.
By the time Xiao Yang came back, there were already people whispering at the mouth of the alley.
What a child bride, what was burned to save people. They all simulated it.
Xiao Yang wanted to go up and theorize a few words, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, and when he came, Brother Qing specially instructed him.
If you want to make money, you can't be rash, you can't bear everything, as long as you have money, nothing is a problem.
Hurried home, saw that the bed was made and the luggage was neatly packed.
Even the ripper, which was a drag and three, was carefully placed in a corner.
Neither of them spoke, and on the way to come, what should be said and what should not be said, both of them have spoken.
Xiao Yang's purpose is very clear, he came here to make money to treat his sister-in-law.
The pots and pans are ready, and the two of them settle down here.
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Yang rode the upside-down donkey he bought yesterday and ran upside down to the train station to pick up the goods.
In those days, freight trains were faster than they were rushing to catch them.
After paying 80 yuan for shipping, Xiao Yang dragged 2,000 boxes of blank cassettes back to the courtyard.
After settling down, I started selling.
Before coming, Chu Qing also specially instructed Xiao Yang that this foreign tape was different from the one they sold before.
The pursuit is integrity, and there is no need to deliberately divide the songs, as long as the complete transcription of the plate by plate.
didn't know that it was easy to sell, so Xiao Yang recorded all of the more than 100 plates.
Of course, Brother Qing specially mentioned it, the one named Michael, recorded a few more discs.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that he was about to get off work, he hurriedly loaded the recorded tape into the car, and rode Xiao Yang, who rode the donkey upside down, and went straight to West Chang'an Street.
When I arrived at the intersection of Junbo and Gongzhufen, I found a location near the entrance of the alley, took out a small tape recorder, and put the newly recorded cassette tape named Michael into it.
He didn't dare to make too loud of the voice, but everyone who passed by in front of his stall could hear it.
People today may not be able to understand how serious the yearning for foreign countries was among those public elites in the eighties and nineties.
The more capable and capable he is, the more he sharpens his head and wants to run abroad.
But if you can't afford to go abroad, you will try your best to find some foreign goods to decorate the façade.
There is an imported item at home, and that is the cow break.
Now it is the rush hour after work, and Xiao Yang, who was still very nervous, became the focus of passers-by when the song sounded.
