Huang Shengnan thought that Li Dong was uncomfortable, and the weather in Beijing was not very good recently.

"Why don't you take a break? ”

"Okay, I'll go back to you. ”

Back at the guest house, Li Dong hurriedly tried it. "It's over, I can't go back. ”

"No, the sun value is still increasing?"

On the way, Li Dong also took a look at the sun value, it increased, what the hell is it that the carrying capacity disappears, Li Dong was a little restless. "No, no, there must be something I overlooked. ”

"The sun value is fine. ”

"The date hasn't changed, so that's fine. ”

Now there is no problem except for the carrying capacity, why has the carrying volume disappeared, what is the reason, the sun value is insufficient, why is it insufficient? One question after another wandered around Li Dong's mind, and finally he really thought of a possible reason.

"Do you have to be around Hanzhuang? ”

"Chicheng is okay, can that area work, can the provincial city work?"

Thinking of the possible reason, Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief. "Maybe it's really because of the distance, it's troublesome, that set of Ming Dynasty furniture, and those big pieces of porcelain are really beautiful, what to do." ”

Li Dong is really reluctant, he wants to buy it for foreigners, so he is not making evil.

Absolutely not, as a patriotic outstanding young teacher, a former teacher, you must not watch these treasures fall into the hands of foreigners.

"What should I do?" Li Dong was thinking of a way when the voice of the doorman came from outside.

"Comrade Li Dong is being found. ”

"It's coming. ”

"Why are you here?"

Seeing that it was Huang Shengnan, Li Dong hurriedly greeted him, and did not go to the room for fear of being gossiped.

"I'm coming to see you, my mom wants to treat you to dinner at noon. ”

"I'm fine, maybe I fell into the reservoir last year and fell into trouble for a few days a month, it's not too early, let's go, don't let my aunt wait for a long time." ”

When he went out, Li Dong was a little surprised when he saw the parked car.

Huang Shengnan was afraid that Li Dong would be uncomfortable, so he begged Liu Sijun to drive the car over, so that there would be less wind on the road.

When he came to the courtyard of Huang Shengnan's house, Li Dong slapped his forehead, how stupid is he, it's not easy to bring things back, you can buy it and save it first, and then bring it back to Chicheng when the opportunity is right.

"Auntie. ”

"Li Dong is here, sit down. ”

Liu Sijun saw Li Dong because he received a call from Liu Boru and ordered 5,000 handbaskets, which made Liu Sijun curious, how did Li Dong fool his father and mother, you must know that both of them are shrewd people.

Especially his little mother, who is very shrewd and capable, Liu Sijun was curious and invited Li Dong to come over and learn about Li Dong's conversation with his father, and there are another 5,000 pieces, which is more than 10,000 US dollars, and now the country's foreign exchange reserves, the whole adds up to only 200 million.

Any foreign exchange of more than 10,000 yuan is worth being cautious.

Liu Sijun thought, Li Dong didn't know, but this would make Li Dong think about it. Sit down, take Huang Shengnan and hand over the rice, a small bowl, I'm embarrassed to eat more. "There wasn't enough rice. ”

Huang Shengnan saw Li Dong looking at him, and whispered, eat more vegetables.

Yes, I'm not here to eat, just make do with three or five bowls of rice, eat more vegetables, this rib is okay, Liu Sijun just wanted to speak, Li Dong has already killed a bowl of rice here, and another bowl, Huang Shengnan and Li Dong eat a little fast.

Liu Sijun couldn't cry or laugh, this kid is really welcome, Li Dong is so good, he doesn't recognize life. "Auntie, you eat, you're welcome. "Yes, Liu Sijun feels that this kid is cheeky and really suitable for coming to a foreign trade company.

"I'll just call you Xiao Li. ”

"Okay, Auntie, you can shout as you like. ”

Li Dongxin said that the side dishes are very delicious. "This pickle tastes very good, Katsuo, you eat more, Auntie, don't be polite to me. ”

Poof

Li Dong thought about the courtyard and forgot that he was eating at someone else's house. "I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm thinking about something distracted. ”

"It's okay, you eat more. ”

This matter is still to be talked about after eating, disturbing Li Dong to eat actually makes Liu Sijun feel a little unbearable, this child eats so happily, Liu Sijun can't help but think of the scene of feeding the little piglet he saw when he was a child, this child eats as happily as the little piglet.

For a simple lunch, Li Dong casually ate four bowls of rice, six or seven percent full, not too embarrassed to eat again, there was not much rice, why can't he eat it all by himself, this is too unusual.

"Auntie, may I ask you something?"

"Oh, tell me. ”

"I want to buy a courtyard house similar to yours here, just in Beijing. "Now in Beijing, it is generally the inner city, which is equivalent to the current second ring road, and the others were not counted in Beijing at that time.

"Buy a courtyard house?"

Liu Sijun was really surprised, this kid is quite rich, Huang Shengnan whispered. "Li Dong's courtyard is quite expensive. ”

"I just got a few manuscript fees, and I still have three or five thousand dollars. ”

Li Dong said easily, three or five thousand yuan, this young man has some skills.

"Three or five thousand is enough, but the yard may be smaller. ”

"Auntie, it's okay to have a little more. ”

The twenty or thirty electronic watches that I didn't bring were almost sold, eight or nine hundred, plus Li Dong poured some food stamps, and the meat stamps were secretly exchanged for some money, and then there were two or three thousand yuan with me, and there were eight hundred manuscript fees, and the last children's literature manuscript fee at home was several hundred.

After the whole calculation, Li Dong now has five or six thousand yuan in his hand, and if he doesn't have dollars, borrow it.

"Okay, let me inquire for you, recently the state has returned some courtyard houses, and there are some people who want to make a move. "Now there is no commercial housing, but some private courtyard houses can be sold to the outside world, and a large number of people have been criticized and educated in the past ten years, and they are still in shock.

The courtyard house was returned, but some people were still a little worried, and some were ready to take refuge with relatives and friends abroad, and some simply wanted to change money and live a better life.

"Thank you so much, Auntie. Li Dong was very helpless, he didn't think about buying a house.

This is not forced, forget it, lose it, lose it, the courtyard, go back to grow vegetables, raise dogs, alas, I really didn't expect to buy.

The next day, Li Dong got the news and found a courtyard house.

"Really?"

It's too fast, Huang Shengnan said with a smile. "Coincidentally, there is a family next to my house that wants to sell, the yard follows my family's almost, a yard entered, the price is five thousand five, I just went to see the yard, the main body is no problem, in the past was to store some four old items. ”

"Four old items?"

Li Dong suddenly came to his senses. "It's all those things. ”

"Now it's nothing, just a set of furniture, some old books, and everything else has been shipped away. ”

Yes, Li Dong still wants to have a surprise, but now it seems that he has thought too much. "Five thousand five, isn't it too high? ”

"It's a little higher, my mother told me when she left, and five thousand should be able to buy it. ”

"Okay, let's take a look. ”

5,000 basically Li Dong has all the money on him now, not 5,000 dollars, so it's better not to move the money. Li Dong rode a bicycle and drove Huang Shengnan to the alley, and sure enough, it was not far from the courtyard of Huang Shengnan's house.

Li Dong estimated that it was five or six hundred meters at most, no wonder it was a coincidence, when he entered the yard, it was really good, the tiles were newly replaced, the house was brushed, the yard was cleaned, the trees and flower ponds had been bulldozed, and the entire room partition was gone.

Thinking about it, in order to better stack items, there was only one set of furniture left in the whole room, and Li Dong moved it and tried it to be heavy, it wouldn't be mahogany. Li Dong was happy in his heart, if this was a set of mahogany furniture, it would be profitable.

It's just that the house has a new partition, and the owner of the small courtyard is a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties, who looks like a cultural person, and chatted a few words, this one is still more vigilant. "Five thousand and a half is too high, Comrade Wang, you see there is no partition here, I still need to ask someone to break the partition, and then there is a yard, there are no flowers and trees, lifeless, I have to find someone to plant trees and flowers, dig a fish pond, this is not a trivial matter. ”

Lowering the price, Li Dong pointed out several shortcomings in a row.

"Then how much do you say?" Professor Wang is not good at talking.

"Four thousand five. ”

"No, no, it's too little. ”

"In this way, I will add another two hundred to you, it really can't be more, if it weren't for the fact that you hit it off with Comrade Wang, like a relative, I really wouldn't add two hundred more, who let me see this Comrade Wang's kindness." ”

Li Dong was very sincere, and Comrade Wang gritted his teeth. "Okay, four thousand seven is four thousand seven. ”

Yes, Li Dongxin said, I gave too much, so let's pay back 4,000 first, alas, we can't bully honest people, forget it, we should take care of honest people, who will let the family still be a professor.

The two negotiated the price, and the rest of the procedures were easy to handle, and Li Dong got the key the next day.

I didn't go to the cultural relics store and bought the Ming Dynasty furniture and a few large porcelain jars, and now Li Dong basically ran out of money. Fortunately, the 200 yuan given by the cultural station was still useless, and Li Dong didn't dare to buy anything anymore.

The yard needs to be cleaned, and the house must be cleaned up, Li Dong thought that he couldn't do it alone, and Huang Shengnan didn't seem to be enough, what should I do, thinking of the two Guo Xiujiao and Liu Qingqing on the train.

Just ask for help, the two of them are quite easy to find.

"Comrade Li Dong. ”

"Huang Sheng, gay man. ”

Guo Xiujiao didn't expect that the two would come to find her so soon, and Liu Qingqing was also surprised.

Invite the two to dinner, Li Dong has already thought about it, Guo Xiujiao's family is in Wucheng, Liu Qingqing's family is in Fat City, Anhui Province, the background of the two of them is good, otherwise the department-level soft sleeper box is not good.

It is actually very important to have a good relationship, if Li Dong guesses, he can only go back to 2019 around Chicheng, and he will definitely stay in Chicheng for more time in the future.

"Invite us to dinner?"

"Didn't you say yes? ”

Li Dong said with a smile, Lao Mo Restaurant, Liu Qingqing and Guo Xiujiao also came here once. "Comrade Li Dong, isn't it too expensive here. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

More than ten or twenty yuan Li Dong still invited, not to mention it's not expensive, that guy, you can remember yourself, invited the two of you to have a meal, and by the way, you went to be a family cleaner. There's no way, Li Dong doesn't know others, and working together is not a revolutionary friendship.

After ordering the dishes, while waiting for the dishes, Li Dong said some recent situations.

"Comrade Li Dong, have you finished your talks?"

"It's been discussed, but the People's Literature is still the same as before in terms of manuscript fees. ”

"Hahaha. ”

Guo Xiujiao is happy, it is already great to be able to laugh at the People's Literature Publishing House, and besides, writers should not care about money, literati are elegant. However, Guo Xiujiao prefers Li Dongzhen, compared to Liu Qingqing, she feels that publishing is very good, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, she doesn't lack living expenses.

"How much?"

Guo Xiujiao asked curiously.

"A thousand. ”

Poof, this is still less, Guo Xiujiao is really surprised, her family is good, her parents' salaries are quite high, her father's monthly salary is only one hundred and seventy-two yuan, and her mother is also in her early 100s, which was definitely a wealthy family at that time.

Coming to Beijing to go to school, in addition to the university subsidy in January, the family will also send ten yuan and twenty yuan a month, and the small life is still good. Even so, Guo Xiujiao was surprised that Li Dong's manuscript fee was more than 1,000, and her mother's annual salary was only more than 1,000.

"This money is not enough to buy a house, and now I have to save money, and Lao Mo will not have much chance to come in the future. Li Dong sighed, life is not easy, let's do it and cherish it.

"Comrade Li Dong, have you bought a house in Beijing?"
