Rebirth: 1977

On the first day of school vacation, Yin Tianshui moved into the [-]-square-meter courtyard house he bought in Shichahai.

Yin Tianshui chose to live here mainly because it was in the house he bought. There was almost no damage here and it was easy to repair.

The right size.

He is used to living in the large house of more than 800 square meters in Xiaolou Lane, Pingcheng, which he renovated by himself.

When conditions permit, he is unwilling to resign himself to living a miserable life.

Shichahai is not a courtyard in the true sense.

All the courtyards under the Imperial City are square in shape, with a small courtyard in the middle.

If it weren't for the intense speculation in later generations and the prominent location, people actually living there now wouldn't feel comfortable at all.

At the very least, they don’t even have a bathroom of their own.

To go to the toilet and empty the toilet, you have to run to the other end of the alley, and sometimes you have to queue up.

In the middle of winter, those days are really hard to describe.

Sewers are often clogged, and when it rains heavily, the ground becomes pitted.

The courtyard houses in Shichahai are actually more appropriately called residences.

It has a yard of nearly [-] square meters.

In front is the main room with three bays, which is spacious and bright.

In front of the main house, there is a small yard.

At the back are three back rooms, which are much smaller.

On both sides, there are two cloisters with carved beams and painted buildings.

Those glorious traces of history are well preserved and not much damaged.

Yin Tianshui used the east room in the front room as his bedroom.

In the middle is the living room.

A guest room on the west side.

The kitchen is located behind the living room and is fully equipped with pots and pans.

Yin Tianshui planned to spend the next holidays at his own home when he did not return to Pingcheng.

Choose suitable classmates and friends to socialize with, or you can also entertain them at home.

His future interactions with his three roommates will not just be on campus.

The circle of communication will gradually expand.

At school, he showed his ability to learn.

Looking for opportunities, his financial strength outside the school is also prepared to be slowly and appropriately revealed.

Bathrooms were added to both rooms.

The sofa furniture in the living room is all made of antique huanghuali.

Including the Babu bed where Yin Tianshui slept, they were all left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

He didn't know where Sang Nianzhong got it from.

An exquisitely carved Eight Immortals table and a pair of armchairs, made of rosewood.

Mixed in the middle, the colors are a little different, but they look harmonious.

There used to be two pines and cypresses in the yard. They were trimmed and the road was re-paved with green bricks.

That's it, it cost Yin Tianshui [-] grams of gold.

Even Sang Nianzhong felt pain in his body.

But Yin Tianshui knows that these 'furniture' that can be preserved intact are already veritable antiques!

Value for money!

Great value for money!

Wen Feng was also on vacation. He showed off his test results to Yin Tianshui:

"Xiao Shui, I am ranked [-]th in my grade and fifth in the class."

"This achievement also makes you proud?"

Wen Feng was knocked on the head by Yin Tianshui.

"Keep working hard and strive to be ranked among the top ten in my grade by my sophomore year!"

"This, can I?"

Wen Feng was dumbfounded. Did Xiao Shui think too highly of him?

He always felt that it was thanks to Xiao Shui that he could get into the University of Technology.

So he listened carefully to Yin Tianshui's words.

After arriving at school early, he read the [-]rd edition high school textbook several times.

Only when classes started at school did he understand Yin Tianshui's good intentions.

Without the previous study, even if he enters college, his studies will be difficult.

"Removing the '?' won't let you take first place in the exam."

Yin Tianshui called him here today, and he was shocked when he saw the house.

"Xiao Shui, you said - you bought this place?

You - bought a house in Beijing? "

Looking at Wen Feng's silly eyes, he suddenly thought that taking advantage of the current bargain price of houses, he should prepare a house for him in the capital.

Wen Feng could stay in the guest room here, but he was six years older than her.

At 26 years old, he is already an older young man.

It is impossible for Wen Feng to wait until he graduates from college to find a partner to get married to.

There are houses of about 150 square meters in Causeway Bay, which can be bought for about 5000 yuan.

After Yin Tianshui decided to meet his neighbor today, Tuosang continued to look for a house.

In addition to preparing for Xiao Zhan, Yin Tianshui was also prepared to give the other six brothers who had helped him take out the treasure from Panjiawan what they deserved.

In Beijing, a house of less than [-] square meters per person is available!

With his support, Yin Tianshui hoped that Xiao Zhan would one day take up a post in Beijing.

If that doesn't work, you can just go to the province and hold a position with real power.

As long as the other brothers work hard and don't make mistakes, with the reform and opening up, the city will expand to the countryside.

It turned out that he was just the director of the police station, and he was the director of the district bureau.

The house is placed there and there is no need to beg for food.

“What’s so strange about buying a house in Beijing?

you can also.

When I meet a girl I like in school and has the right conditions, I will pursue her with all my might. All the expenses for getting married - it doesn't cost much.

If it’s not enough, I’ll lend it to you when the time comes! "

He almost said that he would be responsible for all the expenses of Wen Feng's wedding.

Think about it, he is just a friend, he really can't do everything.

The secret plan is another matter.

Wen Feng blushed when he saw Yin Tianshui mentioning 'the girl he likes'.

"Xiao Shui, you have something important to do today. I have something to talk to you on the train back."

Yin Tianshui knew there was something going on right away. He looked at his watch:

"The guests will be arriving soon. When they arrive, help make tea. Then, go and guard the door."

Wen Feng was a tool called by Yin Tianshui today.

The real content of the conversation would not be revealed to him.

When the two brothers Tong Dawei and Tong Dakai walked in, they were stunned by the brand-new decoration in the house.

Yin Tianshui stood up and walked forward to greet him politely:

"Mr. Tong, please sit down."

Wen Feng brewed three cups of Biluochun and brought them up on a tray.

"Please have some tea."

He nodded politely.

Since he is Xiao Shui's guest, he must respect it.

Yin Tianshui nodded and said:

"Wen Feng, a good brother of mine, a freshman who has just been admitted to the University of Technology."

Yin Tianshui said this to tell the other party clearly that Wen Feng was not the college student recommended in the past.

Hearing that they were college students, the two people who had just sat down quickly leaned over and nodded politely to say hello.

"Hello there!"

"Hello there!"

Wen Feng knew that his job was to guard the door, so he turned around and said:

"Xiao Shui, you guys chat, I'll wait outside."

In the six months of college, Wen Feng's progress was visible to Yin Tianshui's naked eyes.

"Mr. Yin, although you are younger than our brothers, you have extraordinary bearing. You must have a great background."

Tong Dawei said, his tone a little respectful.

Yin Tianshui would not take such polite words seriously.

He also knew about the neighbor's situation in advance. In other words, the house he bought now was originally part of the Tong family.

The surname Tong ranks relatively high among the eight major surnames of the Qing Dynasty.

Yin Tianshui found that since he came to the capital, he had been associated with 'that', and now he was associated with 'tong', making it seem that he had a deep connection with the former royal family.

"It doesn't matter what my background is. What's important is that we can enjoy each other's meeting today."

Yin Tianshui raised his hand:

"Please have some tea. I wonder what kind of tea you two usually like to drink?

I'm not used to drinking tea, this is Biluochun, this year's new tea.

The elders who like to drink tea prepared this for me. "

The fact is that he asked Tang Qizheng to go to Dongting Lake to buy it and send it to him.

The two Tong brothers looked a little embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, his brother Tong Dawei said:

"My family has fallen into decline, and I no longer care about these things.

Our brothers went to the countryside to stay for more than ten years, and we almost forgot about life in the city.

This tea was often prepared by my grandparents when they were still alive. "

Tong Dakai picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip, nodded and said:

"It's new tea, not bad!"

The way he moves his hands and feet is full of atmosphere.

It can be seen that the nobility of the big family is engraved in the bones.

The Tong brothers stayed in China because two of their elders were old and unwilling to leave their hometown to fulfill their filial piety to their parents.

Other siblings and relatives all left with their parents in the early 50s.

No one could have imagined that there would be continuous movement behind them, causing them to lose contact for a long time.

Even if their grandparents passed away, there would be no way to send the news.

"I heard that the two Mr. Tong were planning to go out to live, so they were willing to meet me.

I wonder if you two have decided now?

Are you willing to sell your house to me?

If you have other conditions, you may wish to raise them and we can resolve them through negotiation. "

Yin Tianshui didn't want to make friends with them, so he didn't need to talk more and went straight to the topic.

The two brothers looked at each other and then separated, silent, and did not immediately answer Yin Tianshui's words.

Yin Tianshui was not in a hurry and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, today is just a day for our neighbors to meet and get to know each other.

My hometown is in Pingcheng, and my brother--"

Yin Tianshui looked at Wen Feng outside the door: "He is on school vacation and is planning to leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

It will take about half a month, and I will be back in 20 days at the latest.

I don't usually live here. If you two are interested in taking action, you can contact Mr. Sang.

I am sincere in dealing with you.

As you can see, if I buy it and open up both sides, the home will be much more spacious.

Now, it is really cramped. "

For a house of [-] square meters, Yin Tianshui is probably the only one who is said to be "cracked".

If Wen Feng heard this, he would definitely...approval.

After all, Yin Tianshui is used to living in big houses.
