As for the purchase of furniture, Yan Jiecheng felt that he still had to discuss it with Sister Kexin, after all, it would be the life of two people in the future.

Building a nest of love together is the best elixir to stimulate human beings' yearning for a better life.

On the weekend, Yan Jiecheng went to Chang's house to pick up his sister-in-law, and the two went directly to the small courtyard.

Along the way, Yan Jiecheng slowly rode his bicycle. and are not in a hurry, so the two of them are naturally not in a hurry.

In fact, Yan Jiecheng and their academy now have a car.

Except for Yan Jiecheng, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, who is full-time, the other leaders who are higher than him are all part-time, and they all have special cars.

So this car fell on Yan Jiecheng.

It's just that Yan Jiecheng is just in his early twenties, and he is already in the right place, which is conspicuous enough.

And if you sit in that jeep all day long, there is no benefit except to pull hatred for yourself.

So he usually rides a bicycle except for some necessary occasions.

It wasn't a problem for the jeep to sit idle at the academy.

Yan Jiecheng simply rented it out and used it as a shared car.

Of course, it's not so straightforward.

Yan Jiecheng's original words were that all the students of the academy were leaders, and they also needed to visit friends or run errands in the capital.

Our college is in line with the sake of the majority of students and better service to everyone, so we will lend the car of the school leader to comrades in need.

Of course, everyone is a good comrade with consciousness and thought, and no matter what, we cannot let the country suffer.

Therefore, the fuel cost and vehicle wear and tear fee still need to be paid by everyone.

That's it, the students all praised the Black Yama King for having a conscience.

After all, it's not easy for them to go out on a break, either by bus or on foot.

Who wouldn't want to be able to ride in the academy's car now.

They are all leaders of various places, and they don't care about the money.

Dean Lu didn't care when he heard this.

He just thought that this was Yan Jiecheng's kid's means to befriend these students.

The driver, Xiao Zhang, was reluctant at first.

After all, who wants to work overtime every day if they can lie down and get money every day.

These trainees rent a car not only on weekends, but also after training in the evening, and some of them usually take time off to go out.

Xiao Zhang is now the busiest person in the academy.

But this guy is now in pain and happy.

Every time they get out of the car, these students are very generous, either throwing away two packs of cigarettes or giving some local specialties.

If you really go to check for bribery, Xiao Zhang is estimated to become the number one greedy among drivers.

But this is the atmosphere these days, and it's not easy to say anything about human contacts.

Besides, people just give the driver a little hard money. There is no exchange of interests.

Who's going to be troublesome?

Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin soon arrived at the small courtyard.

The small courtyard is the second at the mouth of the alley, and this alley is a single courtyard, and there is no such miscellaneous courtyard.

There are not many people in the alley, and all the yards in this alley are actually owned by various units.

Just like Yan Jiecheng and their neighbors, the first yard at the mouth of the alley is their police station.

The third is the Qin Provincial Office in Beijing. Of course, most of the rest are some provincial offices in Beijing.

Like Yan Jiecheng's small courtyard, it used to be the preparatory office of the technical college.

The reason why this is the case is because this alley used to be a famous fellow townsman hall alley.

In the early days, there were many kinds of guilds, most of which were for the purpose of maintaining, uniting, and harmonizing the relationship between fellow villagers, clans, and industries, and had geographical, bloodline, and karmic ties.

Since both the government and the people, as well as the gentry and merchants, could interact with each other without any restraints, the clan hall gradually became an important place for political and social activities.

Therefore, many major historical events and important historical figures in modern times are related to the guild.

At that time, the functions of the guild halls and fellow villagers' associations in Beijing were mainly to communicate the connection between their hometowns and Beijing teachers, to receive local officials who came to Beijing on business trips and students from their hometowns to take the exams, and to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people in their hometowns in Beijing.

At the beginning of the new government, various factors of instability still existed, and many of the non-governmental associations in this hutong became a place for enemy and special forces to lurk.

In the late 1950s, the hall was confiscated and replaced by provincial offices in Beijing.

Therefore, the atmosphere and environment of this alley are more than a step better than that of the miscellaneous courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng saw that Chang Kexin was still looking around, so he smiled and said, "Don't look at it, let's hurry up and take a look inside." ”

With that, he took out the key and opened the door.

After the renovation, the whole yard looks completely new.

Chang Kexin started to look at the inverted room in the front yard.

After entering the door, there is a utility room on the right hand side, which naturally has nothing to look at.

There are three other rooms on the left, all of which are now empty.

Yan Jiecheng thought that in the future, he could sit in a guest room, a chess and card room, and a video room.

Of course, this estimate will take many years.

A few empty houses naturally have nothing to look at.

The two went straight to the backyard.

The east and west wings of the backyard are three-room rooms.

The east wing is a kitchen area, with a dining room in the middle, a kitchen near the north, and a tea room near the south.

Of course, except for the kitchen, which is designed according to Yan Jiecheng and made into a new kitchen, the rest of the place is empty, and the main furniture is missing.

When Chang Kexin saw this kitchen, his eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "Brother Yan, is this the kitchen?" I didn't see a stove or stove. ”

Yan Xie Cheng smiled: "This is the new kitchen I designed, do you like it?" ”

Chang Kexin nodded and asked, "How do you cook this?" ”

The kitchen designed by Yan Jiecheng was designed according to the decoration of later generations, but the location of the gas tank and stove was left.

He knew that in 65 years, the first liquefied gas bottling plant in China located in the western suburbs would be completed and put into operation.

But this will not be there, so he had to say: "I didn't hear that a new liquefied gas plant was being built in the western suburbs, so I designed it this way." In the future, our family will use liquefied gas, and there is no smell of soot for cooking.

It's just that we still need Mr. stove to cook in the past two years. ”

Chang Kexin is a high-achieving student of Huaqing, so he naturally knows what liquefied gas is.

There are seven rooms due north, one main house and two transept rooms.

According to the situation of the main house, Yan Jiecheng made a functional partition.

To the east is the bedroom, in the middle is the hall, and to the west is the living room.

Yan Jiecheng finished preparing this hall and went to buy some old things, tables and chairs.

The furniture in the living room naturally has to go to the supply office of the Beijing Department Store, where there will generally be more fashionable furniture.

Last year, the state just integrated the service department of foreign friends, the service department of overseas personnel, and overseas Chinese stores to serve as the supply department of Beijing Department Store.

This place later also had a special name, called the Friendship Store.

The two of them talked about their thoughts while watching, and Chang Kexin wanted an ear room as a study.

There are still a lot of flowers to be planted in the yard, Yan Jiecheng didn't interrupt, and let the girl imagine alone.

Unfortunately, there is still no bathroom in the yard.

Yan Jiecheng originally thought that there was a sewer on the main road outside, so he just said hello and picked it up.

As a result, I learned that the sewer on the main road outside his house was only for rainwater, and there was no special pipe for sewage discharge.

Therefore, they have no choice but to continue to use public toilets.

This is probably the reason why everyone chose to live in a building later, after all, no one wants to queue up for the toilet early in the morning.

Of course, there were no flush toilets in the entire capital at this time.

It is estimated that there are only those Soviet-style villas and overseas Chinese hotels.

Anyway, Yan Xie Cheng saw that Chang Kexin's family had it.

Yan Jiecheng sighed in his heart, this year, a flush toilet can divide people into three, six, nine and so on.

The two of them were a little tired after a circle, so they sat on the threshold to rest.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Chang Kexin and smiled: "What, are you still satisfied?" ”

Chang Kexin hammered him with his fist and said, "If you want me to say, let's live in the east wing of your house, I think it's good."

It's too big here, it's too lonely for the two of us, and we're tired just cleaning. ”

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile: "It's okay, raise a dog in the future, it's useless in the front yard now, you can also raise some chickens, and you can save some eggs to eat." ”

"If you feel lonely, let's have a few more children, and it will be lively."

Although the two have already confirmed the wedding date, Chang Kexin is still a little shy when it comes to this.

said: "Shameless, who wants to give you a baby." ”

After the two of them frolicked for a while, Chang Kexin said: "Brother Yan, you are going to buy so many furniture, whether the money is enough, I still have a few hundred yuan here, you take it." ”

As he spoke, he took out the money and gave it to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile: "I don't see it, you are still a little rich woman." ”

Then he said: "Keep it for yourself, I have been working for several years, and I have saved some money in the past few years." ”

Chang Kexin didn't insist when she heard it, but remembered that Yan Jiecheng said that the living room wanted to buy a sofa, so she said: "There is a sofa at the supply office of Brother Yan's department store, but people only accept foreign exchange bureau rolls, and we can't buy them with money." ”

Yan Jiecheng was also a little surprised when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard of this.

He also went to that place last year, but at that time it was just very expensive, and he didn't say that he wanted foreign exchange papers.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's appearance, Chang Kexin said: "This is a regulation that just came out in February. ”

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he thought that his living room sofa was hopeless.

I had to find someone to see if I could make a solid wood sofa.

Chang Kexin said with a grin: "Brother Yan, I know that one person can get a sofa." ”

Yan Jiecheng asked curiously, "Who?" ”

"My dad."

Hearing this answer, Yan Jiecheng suddenly lost his thoughts.

This girl is simply talking nonsense, but you can't just go to Lao Chang to open the back door because of a set of sofas, it's too cheap.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's expression, Chang Kexin knew what he was thinking, and explained: "I don't need my dad to write a note, in fact, there is a sofa in my dad's supplies."

It's just that my two older brothers are working in other places, so this sofa is in the internal affairs department and has not been received. ”

Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was a little embarrassed and asked, "Isn't it good for us to take your father's things?" ”

Chang Kexin's eyes widened and said, "What? When I get married, my dad can still prepare a dowry, and I don't want anything else, just that set of furniture. ”

Yan Jiecheng listened, and only sighed that Lao Chang gave birth to a good daughter.

In this year's marriage, it pays attention to a three-turn and one-ring, seventy-two legs.

The so-called three turns and one ring are bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios.

The seventy-two legs are some pieces of furniture, such as wardrobes, square tables, etc. However, according to Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin's plan, there were more than seventy-two legs.

Both of them have bicycles and watches, and they are just short of a sewing machine.

Yan Jiecheng thought of this and asked, "Kexin, should we buy a sewing machine?" ”

Chang Kexin listened, quickly shook his head, and then said embarrassedly: "My mother sewed all the clothes I had at home, and later Cuihua also helped make them." I don't know how to sew clothes myself. It's a waste for us to buy a sewing machine. ”

As for the radio, Yan Xie Cheng wanted to hehe.

As for the parts in Chang Kexin's house, it is more than enough to assemble ten units.

But there is still to be an attitude.

Yan Jiecheng asked, "Shall we buy a radio?" ”

Chang Kexin heard this, but he was interested, and said: "Well, Panasonic RF508 is good, but it's too expensive, our professor bought one for more than 300 yuan, I heard that the high-frequency head is very good, and the key volume is very small."

Our professor is stingy and won't let me dismantle it. ”

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his head suddenly grew big, patted Chang Kexin's head and said, "What do you think, what I'm talking about is what we will use in the future, not for you to play with." ”

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Chang Kexin instantly wilted and said, "Then forget it, you don't need to buy it." I have a lot of parts there, and you want to hear me assemble one for you, both tubes and semiconductors. ”

Yan Xie Cheng saw that this girl really liked it, and this radio was the only thing she wanted, so he said: "Panasonic, Panasonic, I'll see if I can buy it." ”

Chang Kexin heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yan, you are so good, I promise not to break it." ”

Yan Jiecheng listened to it and smiled helplessly, and he should have the right to support the development of the national radio industry.

said: "Whatever you want, remember to go back and assemble a semiconductor radio for me." ”

In these years, domestic radios were all large wooden boxes, which were very bulky.

The Panasonic RF508 that Chang Kexin said is a very small radio that can be carried in the trouser pocket.

To clean up a new yard, there are a lot of things to plan and prepare, and things are complicated and trivial.

The two rested for a while, and Yan Jiecheng took out his notebook and recorded all the things that the two had discussed.

Like what kind of door curtains, the color and style of the curtains, and the size that the two people have measured, etc.

Wardroves, square tables, desks, chairs, benches, dressers, etc., Yan Jiecheng didn't bother to count them one by one, they were all Chang Kexin's busy records.

Two hours later, Yan Jiecheng took the notebook in Chang Kexin's hand and saw that it was full of four or five pages.

The girl's family is careful and very specific, brooms, rags, shovels, and dustpans are all recorded.

Yan Jiecheng flipped through it and said with a smile: "No wonder people say that breaking the house is worth ten thousand dollars, I didn't expect that this would have to move in and need to pack so many things." ”

Chang Kexin said: "Brother Yan, we don't need to buy these things all at once, we can add them slowly in the future." ”

Then he whispered: "I will graduate soon, and I will have a salary of fifty-nine yuan a month in the future." ”

Yan Jiecheng looked at Chang Kexin like this and said with a smile: "Yes, we are already much better than many people. ”

In the future, the salary of the two people will be more than 200 together, which is better than most people.

In the following days, Yan Jiecheng ran between department stores and various furniture factories.

often hires a board master to pull things home.

Several times I went to the department store and saw that there was a piano inside, Yan Jiecheng asked the price, only more than three hundred.

He endured it several times, but in the end he couldn't hold back.

As a dick of later generations, I really can't bear it when I see this forced weapon.

In addition, with this super awesome learning ability in this life, I have long wanted to get one.

I just didn't remember it before, I saw you every day for the past few days, how could I let it go, and finally moved back home.

I also went to the conservatory of music and asked for some piano learning materials that had stayed in school.

In a few days, I was ready to play. All that's left is to get used to it.

In a month's time, more than 1,000 yuan was thrown out, and the whole yard suddenly became vibrant.

finally feels at home, and now I'm waiting for Chang Kexin's sofa.

The hall, study and tea room are all old furniture, Yan Jiecheng touched the Huanghuali chair under his buttocks, looked at the purple clay pot in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: It's really cheap.

In recent years, these old items were sold cheaper than new furniture, which made Yan Jiecheng a little uncomfortable at first.

After thinking about it, he frantically received a big wave. The inverted room in the front yard is full of sets of tables and chairs, as well as some desks, kang tables and the like.

In the study, there is no shortage of old objects such as pen holders, bookshelves, inkstones, pen washes, and paperweights.

Yan Jiecheng didn't let go of the piano table and pedals.

Nowadays, the whole study is antique, and after entering, people can't help but want to learn.
