Everyday heroes

Chapter 145 Qingyu Residence

An eerie silence fell between the two of them.

"Sister Xi, I want to ask something." Guan Lang suddenly remembered that he still had something to ask Qin Yanxi.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Qin Yanxi also calmed down, and sat on the swivel chair in front of the desk and turned to face Guan Lang.

"Yesterday, I went to Jingyang Village, which is the renovation project that Dean Qin was in charge of last year."

"Oh, it seems that there is such a thing." Speaking of business, Qin Yanxi sat up a little bit.

"Well, I saw a compound in the northwest corner of the village. It was well preserved and no one seemed to live there, so I wanted to ask you to find out if the owner would consider renting it out." Guan Lang confessed his request.

"Uh..." Qin Yanxi's head paused, and a special look appeared on her face: "Is the courtyard in the northwest corner written "Qingyuju" on the plaque?"

Guan Lang recalled it for a while and nodded, he vaguely remembered these words written on the door.

"If what I thought of was what you said, it should be the yard bought by my family." Qin Yanxi was a little surprised, she didn't expect such a coincidence.

"At the time of the reconstruction project of the old house, a family happened to immigrate abroad. My dad saw that the yard had a history of 200 years, and thought it was not good to demolish it, so he simply bought it with some money."

"Do you want to live? It just so happened that my dad did some repairs at the time, and the water and electricity were connected, so there shouldn't be any problem living there." Qin Yanxi pinched her chin and thought.

Dean Qin bought it four years ago when the bidding for the project was finalized. He didn't think too much about it at the time, but it happened that someone was selling it, and the price wasn't too high, so he bought it.

In the past few years, as the reputation of Jingyang Village has become more and more prosperous, and it has a tendency to become an Internet celebrity village, the value of the yard should have increased a lot.

It can be considered unintentional.

Hearing that the courtyard belonged to Qin Yanxi's family, Guan Lang was a little at a loss as to what to say.

He is quite satisfied with the situation of the yard itself, but he has the idea of ​​lowering the price, otherwise he may not be able to rent it.

Now how dare his own people lower the price, but if it is based on the market price, he can't afford it.

"I should still live upstairs, but I'm just going to rent a yard to do other things there. How much is the monthly rent?" Guan Lang asked weakly.

"Why do you give me back the money? I'm looking for the key. It should be in my drawer." Qin Yanxi waved her hand grandly, turned over and opened the drawer to search.

"You still have to pay the rent, after all, it's Dean Qin's property." Guan Lang's heart palpitates when he thinks of the serious and staid Dean Qin.

If it's just Qin Yanxi's words, it doesn't matter too much. With the relationship between him and Qin Yanxi's "good buddies", he can't be so polite.

"It doesn't matter, the old man probably doesn't remember such a thing, and my name is signed on the two certificates, I found it, it should be this bunch." Qin Yanxi handed the keychain to Guan Lang.

Of course she hoped that Guan Lang would live there, so she was the owner of the house after all, so it would be normal if she often went for a stroll, although she hadn't set foot there for a year or two before that.

It's nice to have money!
Guan Lang took the key in a daze.

Seeing that Guan Lang still had a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, Qin Yanxi continued, "Don't feel like you're taking advantage of me. After all, no one lives there. If you go around from time to time, you still have to help me clean up."

Guan Lang finally got the key. Finally, after the two negotiated, Qin Yanxi accepted a symbolic rent of 1000 yuan per month, and Guan Lang paid the water and electricity bills himself.

There is a projector in Qin Yanxi's room, and the two of them finished watching a movie, and the rain just stopped not long ago.

"Guan Lang, come play at home next time." Qin Junning stood in the yard and waved his hands.

"Okay, Aunt Qin, I'll come to play when I'm free." Guan Lang responded quickly, but everyone knew that he was always busy, so it was destined to be just a polite remark.

When I go out, I still take a golf cart. The villa area is a bit big, and it takes a long time to walk to the gate.

The golf cart beeped and drove Guan Lang to the gate to set him down.

Under the envious eyes of the security guard, Guan Lang slowly walked towards the subway station again.

The drizzle had just stopped, and the air was washed and cleared by the rain. There were a few small puddles on the ground, reflecting the blue sky.

Guan Lang stepped across the puddle, in a good mood, and the yard matter that he had been thinking about for two days was resolved smoothly.

I took the subway and got off the station one stop before my home.

In the supermarket on the street, Guan Lang bought two brooms and mops and other cleaning tools, and slowly turned into the alley to the Qin's courtyard.

Under the plaque with the words "Qingyuju", the thick wooden door is icy and cold. It turns out that the dusty dust on it has been wiped away by the drizzle.

Guan Lang put on a mask and gloves on his hands.

The yard has not been taken care of for many years, and today's cleaning work is not easy.

Use the key to open the large iron lock on the wooden door with a creak.

He had already seen the layout of the inside when it was hung on the outer wall last time. It was the smallest courtyard, but this small size was for a family, and to him, it was already a large space.

Siheyuan, also known as Sihefang, is a traditional courtyard building in China. It has a history of at least 3000 years. There are many types in various parts of China, among which BJ Siheyuan is a typical example.

Generally speaking, a complete courtyard house has three entrances. The first entrance is the gate house, the second entrance is the hall, and the third or back entrance is the private room or boudoir, which is the activity space for women or family members. It is in the shape of "目".

As for the first entrance, it is in the shape of "口", and the second entrance is in the shape of "日".

However, the depth of the courtyard does not stop at the third courtyard, and can reach the fifth courtyard at most. The Jia's compound in "Dream of Red Mansions" is the fifth courtyard.

The gate is located in the southeast corner. When Guan Lang pushes the gate and enters, he is greeted by a screen wall that looks very old. It is used to block the sight of pedestrians looking inward from the street outside the gate and protect privacy.

Go around the screen wall and walk into the yard. There is a dry pond in the corner of the yard, and filtering equipment has been installed among the mountains, rocks, water and trees.

Two Podocarpus pine trees, which are common in gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, are covered with pavilions, and the courtyard is piled up with weeds and fallen leaves accumulated over the years.

The courtyard was not as airtight as Guan Lang had imagined, the wind was coming from nowhere, and standing in the courtyard was surprisingly cool.

Guan Lang nodded with great satisfaction. The open space in the center of the courtyard also had enough space for him to practice martial arts, and it was relatively private.

He doesn't even need to make many changes, just clean up and live in.
