Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

On Chang'an Street, a group of people came to the house that Ji Qinglan bought yesterday. Sun Deping brought his two apprentices to inspect the two houses.

The three of them discussed it, and finally Sun Deping said, "Most of the walls of the two-story house have fallen off, the main beams and the hanging flower gate are damaged, and the screen wall at the entrance also needs to be replaced... If we restore it one-to-one as you said, it will cost a lot of money. But the three-story courtyard next to it is well preserved. We only need to replace the roof tiles, repair and replace the broken parts, and paint the walls, which will cost less."

Ji Qinglan listened carefully and nodded, suggesting that Sun Deping make a budget.

In addition to a one-to-one restoration of the house, Ji Qinglan also had other requirements, including indoor heating, wiring, toilets in the front and back yards, showers, and underground drainage, all of which had to be done at once.

Upon hearing this, Sun Deping immediately became excited and said that he would go find the original design drawings of the house and ensure that the house would be built to its original appearance.

These two houses on Chang'an Street were originally used for court officials to live in. The original construction drawings must have been archived, and Sun Deping happened to have such a relationship.

After hearing this, Ji Qinglan became even more satisfied with Sun Deping and prepared to let them renovate the second courtyard in Kuache Hutong first.

"There's no rush here. We have to wait until the house is transferred before we can start construction. I'll ask Brother Shen for help with this matter. He will notify you when the time comes. I have another second courtyard in Kua Che Hutong. I have no requirements for that. You can repair it first."

Yesterday, Yang Jing took the money and sent his mother to the hospital. He also vacated the place and was just waiting for the transfer procedures to be completed and he would sign.

When Master Sun Deping and his two disciples heard Ji Qinglan boasting about the house in Che Hutong, they were all stunned. At the same time, they also realized that this was a big business deal.

Sun Deping was also very excited. This year he resigned in anger and gave up his iron rice bowl. He was looked down upon and ridiculed by many people, even his family did not understand.

But he is a skilled person and is unwilling to clean public toilets for a living.

Being ostracized and ridiculed every day at work is worse than being looked down upon and ridiculed at home.

He resigned in anger and never expected that business would come so booming.

Sun Deping rubbed his hands excitedly and expressed his loyalty: "Comrade Ji, please leave it to us. I promise to repair the house for you."

His two apprentices also nodded repeatedly.

Ji Qinglan nodded and said to the three masters, "You go and look at the house with Brother Shen first. After the house is transferred, he will notify you to start the construction. I will not go."

Ji Qinglan asked Shen Chang for help again and rode her bike back. Her time was limited. She studied at school from Monday to Friday and had no time to supervise the house affairs.

On the way here, she gave Shen Chang 500 yuan and asked him for help. After the house was transferred, she would give the money to Sun Deping and ask him to buy materials to repair the house.

After all, he was introduced by Xiao Yi, and she believed in his character.

Shen Chang took Sun Deping and the other two to KuaChe Hutong. She didn't have many requirements for the Hutong. She just wanted to raise the original walls, repair and patch up the houses so that they wouldn't leak and could be lived in.

On the way, Sun Deping's eldest disciple Wu Xiaohai asked Shen Chang about Ji Qinglan. After all, there were not many people who could buy three houses, and Ji Qinglan was a woman, which was really surprising.

Sun Deping pulled Wu Xiaohai and warned him with his eyes not to meddle in other people's business. They just needed to do their job well and not ask any more questions.

Shen Chang smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is studying at Peking University, and my brother is a worker. The house was bought with the inheritance left by their ancestors."

Wu Xiaohai touched the back of his head, looking embarrassed. Sun Deping smiled and said, "Brother Shen, I, your apprentice, am not deliberately asking about your employer. Don't worry, we will do a good job."

Shen Chang felt it necessary to give these three people a warning, otherwise Wu Xiaohai's curiosity would cause trouble for Brother Yi and his wife.

"My brother also heard from others that Master Sun is a loyal person, works hard, and does not cut corners, so we were asked to find you. Please don't let us down!"

Sun Deping nodded hurriedly, looking serious, and said: "Brother Shen, don't worry about the work. I guarantee that Comrade Ji will be satisfied."

"Of course I believe it, but I still want to warn you, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, don't inquire about things that you shouldn't inquire about, and keep your mouth shut, so that the business can last long."

When Wu Xiaohai heard this, he knew that he was being talked about, so he nodded repeatedly to assure others that he would just do the work and not ask any more questions in the future.

Ji Qinglan returned home. It was getting dark. Old Master Li had already returned. Luo Hongyu had already prepared dinner. When she saw her return, she said, "Godfather called just now. I told him that you were at the new house. He said he would call me back at seven o'clock."

Ji Qinglan looked at her watch and found it was six o'clock. She knew that Xiao Yi had called her during dinner time, but she didn't answer the call.

After dinner, Xiao Shuyan rode his bike and took Jiang Xu away. Since he had classes the next morning and the school was far away, Xiao Shuyan always went back early and took Jiang Xu back with him.

Before leaving, Ji Xincheng did not forget to ask the two to come over early next week, mainly because the two wanted to take him to play football and go shopping, and Ji Xincheng was reluctant to let them go.

Jiang Xu of course agreed to come, but Xiao Shuyan did not.

He said, "I won't be back next week. I have classes next week. I will be back at the end of the month."

Watching the car going farther and farther away, Ji Qinglan took Ji Xincheng out of the house and went to the convenience store.

At the beginning of the year, a new store opened at the intersection of their street. It was equipped with a telephone and was very close. Sometimes Xiao Yi and Xiao Qing would call here, which was very convenient.

It was very lively outside the convenience store, with some people gathered together talking. The old lady from the Tian family opposite them was also sitting in the crowd chatting and laughing with others.

Seeing Ji Qinglan and his mother coming over, Tian's mother waved with a smile: "Comrade Ji, come and sit down."

Ji Qinglan didn't go over, but just smiled and refused: "I'll answer the phone, Aunt Tian, ​​you are busy."

They didn't have much contact with the Tian family next door, but they lived close and knew a lot of things. She saw Tian's mother beating her granddaughter several times because the son and daughter-in-law of the Tian family had quarreled with Tian's mother several times.

After saying that, he went to wait by the phone, raised his hand to check the time, it was two minutes to seven.

When Tian's mother saw this, she was unhappy, but as everyone was watching, she smiled and started chatting with others.

At exactly seven o'clock, the phone was about to ring, and Ji Qinglan answered it directly. It was Xiao Yi calling back.

"Have you had dinner?" Xiao Yi and Ji Qinglan asked at the same time.

"I ate it." They both replied at the same time.

"Haha!" Finally, both of them laughed.

There was a brief silence on the phone, and neither of them dared to speak again.

Ji Xincheng pulled his mother's arm and said anxiously, "I want to talk to Father Xiao. I want to talk to Father Xiao."

Ji Qinglan had no choice but to give him the microphone.

"Hey, Dad Xiao, have you had dinner? When did you arrive? When will you come back? I miss you..."

Well, I've asked her all the questions she wanted to ask, and she has nothing to say.
