Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

When Jia Yuan heard that He Daqing wanted to send his son to the army, he completely gave up the idea of ​​asking He Daqing for help.

He didn't want his son to join the army.

At this time, both of them felt that He Daqing could no longer help them and had no influence in the country.

So I gradually started to speak more freely.

Especially Yan Bugui, he actually looks down on He Daqing now.

I feel like God gave He Daqing such a good opportunity, but He Daqing didn't even seize it.

If it were him, he would at least be able to dine at a state banquet now.

He felt that He Daqing was just a cook and his vision was not as broad as his. Even if he had the opportunity, he would not be able to catch anything in the end.

Some even felt that He Daqing would not get any good results in Hong Kong in the future.

With such good opportunities in the mainland, He Daqing has become what he is today, let alone Hong Kong which is ruled by foreigners.

"Daqing, how is your wife now? The one you married later was the most beautiful one in our courtyard. You don't know how much we envied you at the beginning."

Although Yan Bugui had not met Li Wanqiu many times, he was deeply attracted by her appearance.

In addition to her appearance, what made Yan Bugui even more indignant was Li Wanqiu's temperament.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Li Wanqiu's temperament is gentle yet tough.

At first glance, she is a cultured and thoughtful woman.

Yan Bugui always felt that it was a waste for a girl like Li Wanqiu to be paired with He Daqing.

He felt that he was a cultured person and should be a better match with Li Wanqiu.

"It's pretty good. She's taking care of my kids in Hong Kong. There's nothing to envy. Every family has its own difficulties."

He Daqing didn't want to talk about his wife either.

It is enough for you to know whether your wife is good or bad.

There's no need to talk so much to these neighbors.

Jia Yuan and Li Wanqiu were not familiar with each other, but they had met each other several times. When Li Wanqiu lived in the courtyard, she often visited Jia Zhang.

So although he had some improper thoughts about Li Wanqiu, he didn't care about her that much.

He was thinking about something else now.

"How can I not be envious? Who wouldn't be envious of him for marrying such a beautiful and capable wife? By the way, Daqing, you will return to Hong Kong in a while, right?"

"Yes, back to Hong Kong. My wife and children are all there."

After Jia Yuan heard He Daqing's answer, Ma Shan said,

"What about your house? Are you planning to sell it?"

Jia Yuan’s house is really too crowded now.

In the crowded place, he began to miss his daughter-in-law.

He also knew that this wouldn't work.

He has been thinking about He Daqing's house for a long time.

But between the house and his son's future, he chose his son's future first.

Now He Daqing cannot transfer Jia Dongxu to another position.

He began to think about He Daqing's house.

He can't afford to buy a house.

But he can rent it, or give He Daqing part of the payment first and pay the rest over time.

The housing prices at this time are still relatively low.

Based on the income of Jia Yuan and his father, they can pay off the mortgage of He Daqing's house in two or three years.

Of course He Daqing would not sell this house.

This is a courtyard house in Peking.

He even wanted to buy all the other houses.

It's just that the situation right now is not right.

Even if he buys it, it may not necessarily become his house.

“I will not sell this house, there are too many memories in this house and this yard.

I can’t bear to sell it, maybe I’ll come back and live here occasionally in the future.”

Hearing what He Daqing said, Jia Yuan was a little disappointed, but he immediately asked

"Are you planning to rent out this house? You're not in Beijing, and it would be a shame to leave the house empty.

As you know, a house is not afraid of being lived in, but it is afraid of being empty.

If it's vacant for a few years, the house will be ruined. If someone lives in it, they can help take care of it. The house won't fall apart so quickly."

He Daqing also understood what Jia Yuan meant.

This is what it means to be obsessed with your own house.

However, it is considered normal.

After all, Jia Yuan either wants to buy or rent.

It's not about taking over.

He Daqing also knew that Jia Yuan was telling the truth.

In fact, it's not just houses, many things are like this. If you keep using them, they won't break down.

You leave her there and let her do nothing.

You never know when it might break.

I'm afraid he won't be able to come back to Hong Kong in the short term.

It's really not good for this house to remain empty.

But he was also afraid that it would be easy to rent out the house but difficult to collect the rent back.

Houses will become increasingly scarce in the future.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu, these two young people, should have a few more children.

I'm afraid this house may not be big enough to live in in the future.

When I come back, even if I drive them out, where can they go?

Moreover, if you force people to leave, you will not be accepted by society.

The Chinese always believe in leaving people a way to survive.

"I haven't decided on the house yet. I'll talk about it in a couple of days."

When Yan Bugui heard Jia Yuan talking about the house, he also reacted.

But Jia Yuan spoke first, so he didn't know what to say.

His eldest son is not young anymore.

Although their house can still accommodate them now, it has become very crowded in recent years as the children have grown up.

After the three of them finished their meal, He Daqing planned to continue strolling on the street for a while.

Yan Bugui and Jia Yuan returned to the courtyard together.

The two of them were fighting to the death just now, looking like they wanted to eat each other.

But on the way back, the two got along quite well.

"Old Jia, do you think He Daqing is not doing well in Hong Kong?"

Yan Bugui couldn't tell He Daqing's current condition from his clothes.

He Daqing's clothes were the clothes given to him by the army, a very ordinary military uniform.

Most wealthy people during this period still wore suits, and they were custom-made.

The small bosses wear long gowns and jackets.

As for work uniforms and military uniforms, it will take two years for them to become popular.

Yan Bugui felt that if He Daqing wanted to do well in Hong Kong, he would at least wear a suit and tie and look respectable.

"I think so too. Think about it, no matter what, our Peking is the imperial city, under the feet of the emperor.

Hong Kong? What kind of place is that? It used to be a place where criminals were exiled. Being a county magistrate there might not be as good as our city gate officer.

He Daqing had some money in Hong Kong, but at most he was a local rich man in the countryside, or a small businessman in the city.

He probably doesn't have much money. If he really has money, why would he need this house? I see from his expression that he wants to come back and live here in the future.

You can tell at first glance that he's not doing well in Hong Kong.

Look, which rich person would live in a courtyard house like ours?

Every family lives in a courtyard.”

Jia Yuan is less educated than Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui at least knew that Hong Kong was under British rule and the living standards of its residents were pretty good.

But Jia Yuan was different. He only knew that there was a place called Hong Kong, but he had no idea about the specific situation.
