Yanjing.

In a courtyard house in Xicheng District.

The night is deep, the cold wind blows outside the window, and the sound of oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohins.

In the warm room, cups and glasses were exchanged, and the sound of laughter and chatter floated around, making it very lively.

"Old man, why are you still crying?

Drinking good wine, eating delicious chicken, staying in a warm house, protected from wind and rain, what a wonderful day! ! "

"Hey~ I thought of some things from the past."

The old man wiped away his tears and began to talk about his life experience.

It turned out that his ancestor had been a high official in the Qing Dynasty. According to him, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. From the first rank, he was definitely a high-ranking and powerful figure.

Later, many officials came out of the family.

In the Republic of China, the world changed, and his father began to join the army, working under Wu Pei Fu, the leader of the Zhili clique warlord, and slowly rose to the rank of deputy division commander.

"Huh? Didn't you see that your ancestors were richer?" Wang Renqing said in surprise.

"That's natural!" Lao Dian was a little proud.

Rong Chenglin couldn't stand him, he squinted and hummed:

"Tell me, how many girls from good families did you harm when you were young? Are there any other young women from good families?"

"Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about! It's vulgar, it's too vulgar!" The old man's face turned red, which was rare for him. These bastards are really hard to fool.

"Baby, don't talk about anything vulgar, just ask if you have any, right?

Based on the things you have done, I think it would be easy to shoot you eight hundred times. You are still alive now, what else are you dissatisfied with? "

The air was suddenly quiet.

The old man himself is indeed a dog-walker. He never succeeds in anything he does and has nothing left to eat.

As a dandy, he naturally has to do some things.

Sudden.

pop~

The old man slapped his thigh and stared, as if he suddenly figured it out: "That makes sense! I'm still alive now, because I'm actually making money!! A lot of dudes similar to me should have died long ago. For decades.”

Everyone was stunned.

Soon they all started laughing and thought this old man was quite interesting.

rumbling~

There was a muffled thunder outside the window, and soon the cold autumn rain fell from the sky, making the windows crackle.

"It's really raining in Guanli. It's snowing in our hometown."

"The temperature in Guanli is high."

Xu Dahai also looked at the heavy rain outside through the window. It was autumn rain and cold, and the temperature was about to drop again.

He also drank a lot of wine, and after running all the way, his eyelids were fighting constantly, and he was extremely sleepy.

Ignoring the others, I got on the kang and covered myself with a quilt, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, the rain stopped.

The sun was shining brightly, and the yard was filled with puddles of all sizes. Occasionally, a bird would jump around next to the puddles, lowering its head to drink water... After being disturbed, it would suddenly fly away with a "huh~" sound.

……

"This courtyard house is in a good location! Well, the house is just a bit old.

If it were demolished and built into a two-story building, like in foreign countries, with lawns at the door, lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs, how comfortable would it be to live there? "

Han Yuanmin, the owner of the medicine store, was called over by Xu Dahai, and he looked around as soon as he entered the door.

When chatting, he also heard that some people were buying courtyard houses.

Some friends even persuaded him to buy one too.

However, Han Yuanmin didn't like this thing and felt that he might as well save some money to buy a car.

Yes, some wealthy Yanjing people have already begun to consider buying private cars.

Imported cars are very expensive, especially if they want to buy some good cars, they will need even more money.

"The main reason is that it hasn't been repaired much. When I have time, I will tidy it up, demolish what needs to be demolished, repair what needs to be repaired, and change the indoor layout. Then it will be comfortable to live in."

Xu Dahai extended his hand and invited Han Yuanmin to come into the house.

There were four other guys who came with him.

One guy was watching the tricycle outside, and the other three followed him inside.

After a brief exchange of greetings, we turned to the red ginseng. Han Yuanmin was quite satisfied with the quality of the red ginseng. It was a big tree with all the beard and tail, and it was steamed just right.

"Yes, let's weigh it and settle the accounts!"

Han Yuanmin clapped his hands and asked the boys to start working.

一共是328斤红参,300块钱一斤,总价就是9万8千4百块钱。

Xu Dahai bought it for 100 yuan per pound, and the gross profit per pound was 200 yuan, which is very scary.

"I hope we can continue to cooperate next year!" before leaving, pharmacy owner Han Yuanmin said.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

Han Yuanmin directed the guys to load all the red ginseng onto the tricycle.

As the wheels creaked and turned, the group of them quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley.

Xu Dahai just returned to the east bedroom of the main house.

The old man hunched over, bared his big yellow teeth, and followed in with a smile.

"Master, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

Hiring Lao Dian to help him look after these courtyard houses is indeed a good choice.

During this period of time, he occasionally exchanged letters with Lao Dian, and Lao Dian was able to complete some of the things he told him quite well.

of course.

Considering that the old man is quite old, the tasks assigned to him by Xu Dahai are not heavy.

"Um...these 11 courtyard houses really need to be repaired.

In the past, seven or eight, or even ten, families lived in a courtyard house. It was so messy that all the low walls and other privately built walls should be demolished. "

"How much is it?"

"This... I'm afraid it will cost one to two thousand yuan, right? It can't be any less."

Laodian looked a little worried, as if he was afraid that Xu Dahai would not give him the money.

Xu Dahai smiled slowly and said, "Then I'll give you 2000 yuan and prepare all the accounts."

"Don't worry, Master, I will never be greedy for a penny."

"Well, by the way, I have decided to give you a salary of 70 yuan a month from now on.

The main thing is to take care of these 11 courtyard houses. If anything happens, send me a telegram in time. "

Xu Dahai felt that he still had to pay Wu Laodian some wages. If the other party was serious about helping him look at the house, he couldn't treat him badly.

A few dozen yuan a month is nothing to Xu Dahai.

But this money is very, very important to Wu Laodian.

Before, Wu Laodian had no salary and was just responsible for food and housing.

But in this case, Wu Laodian would have to pay for it by sending occasional telegrams to Xu Dahai.

Xu Dahai didn't know how Wu Laodian made money, but he guessed that he probably picked up rags, which many old people do.

"Seventy yuan?? It's a lot more. Just give me ten or eight yuan a month. I won't be able to spend it all."

Wu Laodian was shocked. He used to earn only about ten yuan a month, and he basically bought medicine.

"You think you earn too little, why do you think you make so much?" Xu Dahai was also happy, patting the old man's thin arm:

"Just take it. Then you can eat good food every now and then and buy better clothes.

If you save some money, you won't have any trouble when you need it urgently. "

"Hey, hey..." Laodian agreed repeatedly, with tears in his eyes. He has experienced too much pain and humiliation in his life, and now his life seems to be getting better:

"Master, you are a good person. Don't worry, I will take good care of these courtyards for you."
