Chapter 50: 50 Sang Dazhuang looking for a house, the Wan family

  Chapter 50 50 Sang Dazhuang is looking for a house, the Wan family

  In the evening, Sang Dazhuang got everything ready for dinner. He built a small stove in the yard, made pots and pans, and went to the waste collection station to get some tables, chairs and benches.

   He didn’t make good use of the temporary equipment, and he didn’t know until he came to the imperial capital that his savings were not enough.

  If you want to give your wife a good life, after this period of work is over, you have to find a way to spread the stall and make money quickly.

  With pots and stoves, Wang Xinfeng couldn't wait to use them. During the past few days on the train, they were soaked in hot water for food, and the whole family couldn't bear it.

  The food in state-run restaurants is expensive and not tasty, so you still have to do it yourself.

  The bacon and vermicelli were found in the luggage. Fortunately, the Tao family members went to the hospital. Otherwise, watching Wang Xinfeng find these things from the baggage they had rummaged through before, he would definitely vomit blood. Why didn’t they find them?

  The beatings are for nothing, and they can’t report to the police, mainly because they have lice all over their bodies, and they are most afraid of dealing with people in the public office.

  I used to bluff others by saying that I would report to the police, but when it was my turn, I pretended to be a quail and suffered a lot.

  However, Sang Dazhuang is not afraid of reporting to the police or not. They are the ones who provoke the trouble. The three of them can't handle him alone, and even a child can't handle it.

  Wang Xinfeng stewed vermicelli with bacon, steamed a big steamed bun with Erhe noodles, and steamed egg custard for Yuzhi separately.

   Even before the food was served, the aroma made people within a mile away cry.

This area is full of old courtyard houses with intertwined alleys and mixed people. The courtyard houses have become large courtyards. The people who live here are all poor and destitute people. I have to wake up laughing.

  So, smelling the obvious rich fragrance, some people can't wait to rush up to grab it with green eyes.

   It's just that, after seeing how tough this family is, no one dares to seek death.

   You can only grab the top of the wall, squeeze the cracks in the door, and take one more breath.

   After eating, Yuzhi wanted to take a bath, but there are only public toilets for washing.

  The toilet was so dirty that the elm branches dared not go down, and they had to use a basin in the house to go to the toilet, so I had to endure it.

  Sang Dazhuang looked at Yuzhi uncomfortable, and couldn't wait to find a house.

  Early the next morning, just after dawn, Sang Dazhuang asked Sang Ye and Wang Xinfeng to stay in their house and go out to find a house.

  Yuzhi was admitted to Imperial University, and the houses in the surrounding areas are very tight. She ran all morning and found nothing.

  At noon, he didn't go back either. He gnawed on a steamed bun that was as cold as a rock, and wandered in front of a house that had collapsed into ruins.

  The house is in the alley directly opposite to Imperial University, at the end of the alley. It covers an area of ​​more than two acres, more than 1,000 square meters, and is surrounded by most of the collapsed walls.

  In the wall, most of it is open space, only a single small building of more than 100 square meters, which is completely different from the surrounding authentic courtyard houses.

  The small building collapsed to the point where only half of the wall on the first floor was left. It was really no different from the ruins.

  Sang Dazhuang took a fancy to this place, it is close to the school, and the people living around it are not messy.

  The alley is more than a thousand meters long, and the left and right sides are neat courtyard houses. The people who live there are some dignified and well-known people.

  There are 20 to 30 households on both sides of the Hutong.

  The alley is spacious enough for cars to pass through. There are no dark and remote corners, and it is safe and bright.

  Out of the alley is the main street, with shops on both sides.

  Turn left at the entrance of the alley, walk one mile, and there is a big market, which is closed now.

However, after coming to the imperial capital for two days, Sang Dazhuang has been keenly aware of a certain aura, just as his wife said, I believe it will not be long before not only the market will open, many shops will open, and business will start. It is convenient to buy vegetables and go shopping, and it is also convenient for him to make money.

  It is also close to the public office, the security is good, and the safety is guaranteed.

  Turn to the right at the entrance of the alley, and walk one kilometer, there are various schools in the area, adding up to 20 or 30 schools, large and small, and his school is also in that area.

  However, I asked before that the intact houses here are not rented out, and he didn't want to settle for another place, so he came up with the idea here.

   I read it back and forth several times, wondering how to get it.

   There is a century-old yellow horn tree at the entrance of the alley, and this alley is called Huangjiao Hutong.

   Under the root of the yellow horn tree, there is a circle of stone bars, where you can sit and rest. There are more than a dozen stone tables and stools around the circle, on which to play cards, chess, and chat.

  The area covered by yellow horned trees can form a small square by itself.

  Usually, the old men and women in the surrounding alleys like to chat here to cool off.

  The weather is cold these days, not many people come here, this time there is only one old man sitting under the yellow horn tree.

  The uncle squinted his eyes and looked at Sang Dazhuang for a long time.

  Seeing him going back and forth several times, and he doesn't look like a good person, the old man is very vigilant.

  When Sang Dazhuang came out of the alley again, the uncle stopped him: "Hey, where are you from? What do you want to do?"

  Sang Dazhuang had also noticed the old man a long time ago. When he heard his voice, he sat down without hesitation, and even took out a hard cornbread and handed it to him: "Do you want to eat?"

  The uncle was full of doubts and righteousness, and refused to bribe: "Don't come here, what on earth are you doing? Being a thief? Don't blame the old man for not reminding you, this is not a place where you can make crooked ideas."

   "It's better to be honest and down-to-earth. You are such a big man, you can do anything for a living, and you don't know how to die if you do crooked ways."

  Sang Dazhuang took back the Wowotou, took out the admission notice and letter of introduction from his pocket, and handed it to the uncle.

  The uncle felt that Sang Dazhuang was weird, so he opened the notice and letter of introduction suspiciously.

  The more I looked at it, the more I didn't believe it: "Are you still a college student? I didn't see it." There was a bit of unexplainable disgust in his tone.

  Sang Dazhuang snorted, and snatched back the notice and letter of introduction.

   "I'll come and see the house."

  The old man was treated so unkindly, and he snorted angrily, and his tone became even worse: "The School of Architecture walked here for more than an hour, and there are so many houses over there, you need to come here to see it, it's a lie."

  Sang Dazhuang unhurriedly took out another notice, and unfolded it carefully for the old man to read.

  The old man wanted to reach out his hand, but he avoided it: "Don't touch it, if you touch it carefully, it will be damaged, just look at it like this."

  The old man was panting heavily with anger, but he didn't take his eyes off the notice, so he took a rough look, and Sang Dazhuang took it away.

  The old man got angry again, and stared at Sang Dazhuang fiercely.

  Sang Dazhuang didn't care either: "This is my wife's notice, it's just opposite, Imperial University, the best university in the country, awesome."

  The proud look made the old man want to slap him in the face.

   Curling his beard and humming: "What's so great about it."

  Sang Dazhuang snorted: "That's why I came here to look for a house."

  The old man snorted again: "There are no houses for rent here, so give up."

   "I don't rent, I want to buy."

  The old man said twice: "The wind is strong and you are not afraid to flash your tongue. You think this is an earth embryo house in your country. Buy it if you say it. This is the imperial capital, directly opposite the imperial capital university, and the prime location."

   "Before the college entrance examination was not resumed, not everyone could buy it. Now that the college entrance examination has resumed and the university has reopened, all boats here have risen with the tide. Even if you can afford it, who will sell it? You can pull it down."

  Sang Dazhuang didn't care about the old man's ridicule, and calmly gnawed on the cornbread: "I want to buy that ruined building."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Don't even think about it there, they won't sell it, and even if you get it, you won't be able to keep it. For the sake of your talent, the old man kindly reminds you, don't be too high-minded, look for a house elsewhere. There are so many houses in such a huge imperial capital."

  Sang Dazhuang was unmoved: "No, my wife is weak, so this is the most suitable place. As long as you have the heart, you can always buy it. If you really cherish your talents, tell me about the situation of this house."

  The old man sprayed Sang Dazhuang all over his face: "No wonder the big face is black and rough, just for the sake of shame, you are a fart, go and play."

  Sang Dazhuang stuffed the last mouthful of cornbread into his mouth, patted his **** and left without saying anything.

  The old man looked at Sang Dazhuang's bear-like back, squinting his eyes slightly, his eyes were familiar.

   "Grandpa, it's so cold, why are you blowing cold wind outside again?"

  The young man walked to the entrance of the alley from the other direction Sang Dazhuang left, and said to the old man under the yellow horn tree.

   If Sang Dazhuang took a step slowly, he would find that this person was the young man who had been in the same carriage with them for three days, Wan Yan.

  The old man is his grandfather, Wan Zhanping.

  Wan Zhanping used to be a hero on the battlefield, the general who led the troops, but in a war, his leg was blown off and he retreated.

   Just now, Sang Dazhuang didn't know if he noticed that one of the old man's trouser legs was empty.

Wan Zhanping looked at the only grandson who was still satisfied, and his expression eased, but he was not too happy. He responded flatly: "It's comfortable here. Didn't you say that you went to visit relatives in Dongliao Province? Come back so soon gone?"

  Dongliao Province is next door to Sang Dazhuang’s hometown, Jinji Province. They will share the same train precisely because the train departs from Fengya City, the capital of Dongliao Province. Yunguan County is just a small transfer station.

  Wan Yan nodded: "Well, I came back after staying at Grandpa's house for two days. They are all in good health and have a comfortable life. There is nothing wrong. I'll carry you in, it's too cold outside."

  Wan Zhanping pushed Wanyan's hand away: "I'm not that useless, I can walk by myself, have you been admitted to university? What major?"

  The old man took the crutches, stood up with a stick, and asked seemingly unintentionally.

   Wan Yan pursed his lips slightly: "Finance."

   Wan Zhanping paused, and continued to walk back as if nothing had happened, but he didn't say another word.

   Wan Yan sighed slightly in his heart, he knew what Grandpa was thinking.

  At the beginning, he was injured and had to retreat, but he still yearned for the battlefield and was unwilling to do nothing.

   Originally, he hoped that his two sons could inherit his mantle, but his father and second uncle were all focused on power and had no interest in joining the army.

  The old man turned his attention to his grandchildren again. Needless to say, the two granddaughters were spoiled and domineering by their parents, so he didn't even bother to look at them.

  Two grandsons, the eldest grandson has followed the path of his father's generation, learned from his father's generation of city government, devoted himself to power, and has lost his original intention.

  The old man was angry and sad, moved out and lived in the old house alone.

  Wan Yan is the youngest grandson. In the past few years, he followed the old man, wielding knives and guns. Although his qualifications are mediocre, he worked hard to please the old man.

  The old man thought he saw hope, but unexpectedly, he turned to study finance and started business.

   All of a sudden, all the old man's expectations came to nothing, and he gave up.

  Wan Yan sighed again, he knows what he is capable of and what level he is, and he is not at all expected to be a soldier.

   And, he loves business.

  In the first few years, business was restricted, and he had nowhere to release his enthusiasm.

  But since last year, he has noticed a recovery trend, and he wants to seize it.

  Knowing that the old man will be unhappy, but his own life wants to follow the way he likes.

  Sent the old man into the yard, put down the things he brought, said a few words of advice, and left. The old man is not happy, he is not in the way of the old man.

  Wan Zhanping sat alone in the deserted main room, looking at the empty doorway, his heart felt cold.

   As a little grandson, he used to think that he was innocent and honest, but he didn't expect that he was also very thoughtful.

  Wan Yan’s grandfather, that is, his in-law Xu Guangqi, used to be a well-known capitalist in Eastern Liao Province.

  There are countless shops, real estate, and factories under the name, and my aunt and wife have more than ten houses.

  Wan Zhanping does not judge him as a person, but in the mall, Xu Guangqi is really a villain who does everything he can.

  As long as it is profitable, he never cares about right and wrong.

  At the beginning, his eldest son married the Xu family's daughter for the Xu family's money, but he didn't agree.

  But the son is grown up, how could he listen to him.

   After persuasion to no avail, he gave up.

  A few years ago, something happened to the Xu family. Under the begging of his little grandson, he went to clean up his old face and managed to save it. These years have passed smoothly.

  Wan Yan often went to see Xu Guangqi in the name of visiting relatives, and he regarded it as filial piety.

   In fact, he is going to study business. Of course, filial piety is true, but just like his father, filial piety is mixed with purpose, just like treating yourself. It is impure and makes people feel no warmth.

  Wan Yan is a smart child, knowing what he wants, how to get it, and how to do it is the most beneficial to him.

   As expected of a child who likes to do business, there is nothing wrong with business. He is an old bone, old and stubborn, and he really can't play.

  Sang Dazhuang did not return home after leaving, so he had to seize the time to take down the house.

  Find the three of Li Gan who helped the Sangshen Sangye brothers and sisters to watch the school, and the four of them murmured together.

"Shouhou, Brother Li, you two are kind, go to the alley to find someone to find out what's going on with the house, Qiangzi, go find the bricks, tiles, timber and the construction team, as soon as you get the house, we will start construction. Finished within a month."

  Sang Dazhuang still has self-knowledge. His face is everywhere to attract people's attention. It is not suitable for him to inquire about news.

  Skinny Monkey has a playful and smiling face all day long. He smiles three times when he meets people and has a sharp tongue. He is most suitable for inquiring about news.

  Li Gan looks gentle and delicate, and put on a Chinese tunic suit without patches. He is a proper intellectual and is most loved by people in this era.

  It's suitable for them to go.

  Skinny Monkey asked: "What's up with the school? We haven't seen any suitable ones yet."

  Sang Dazhuang didn't take it seriously: "Let Mulberry find it by himself." Sang Ye had to stay at home to protect the elm branches, and Sang Dazhuang praised his arrangement.

  The three of them looked at Sang Dazhuang with the expression of looking at the animals. He was his own son, only nine years old, and he was unfamiliar with the place where he lived. If you let him find the school by himself, can you be more like a stepfather?

  Sang Dazhuang waved his hand, too lazy to look at the expressions of the three of them.

   "Hurry up, I still have something to do."

  Zhao Qiang grabbed Sang Dazhuang: "Brother Zhuang, what else do you have to do? We have divided everything."

Sang Dazhuang gave him a stupid look at you, and slapped Zhao Qiang's hand away: "I have to look around to see if there is anyone who doesn't have long eyes, so I cleaned it up in advance. I also have to buy some fresh food, there are many things to do I still have to go to see which hospital is good, but the old man didn't come back with me, so my daughter-in-law's health can't be delayed.

  Sang Dazhuang patted his **** and left, leaving the three of them in place.

  Shouhou laughed: "My brother Zhuang is really a good man. I have a wife, and I treat her like this."

Zhao Qiang gave him a slap on his face: "Take your stupid look away and talk about finding a wife. It's disgusting to see. It's not that there is no one at home, and you have to run back eagerly, really." Zhao Qiang was really full of complaints. I don't know who to send it to.

  Shouhou has a face that you don't understand, that you are single: "Brother Qiang, you will understand when you have a wife, right Brother Orange?"

  Li Gan smiled and nodded: "You are right."

  Shouhou raised his eyebrows at Zhao Qiang anxiously, did you hear that?

  Zhao Qiang didn't bother to talk to this idiot anymore, so he got up and went to work.

  Li Gan Shouhou didn't delay. With Li Gan, a man with more eyes than a sieve, it was easy to find out the news, so he took the news back at night.

  In the courtyard, Wang Xinfeng specially cleaned up a room and came out, and everyone sat around and ate together.

  At the dinner table, the skinny monkey chattered about the news he had heard. When he was talking, he kept his mouth busy and kept stuffing food into his mouth.

"The house used to be the private property of a concubine of the old prince. The concubine was Qing Miao, who was born in a brothel. After being brought back to the mansion by the old prince, she secretly bought it with the private money she saved in the brothel. She also bought it for herself. Leave a way out, after all, the old prince will soon be her master."

"Qing Miao is extremely beautiful, and the old prince lost his soul, and the old princess was very displeased. After the old prince died, Qing Miao was kicked out by the old princess, together with her concubine daughter Qinglian. Qinglian was originally a The imperial surname, but it was taken away by the old concubine, so I followed my mother's surname."

"Qing Miao is not stupid. When the old prince was still there, he was planning for himself. He kept the monthly schedule, the old prince's rewards and so on. He saved a lot of money. The mother and daughter guarded the property. If you don’t waste money, you can live comfortably for a lifetime.”

   "The bad thing is that Qinglian is as beautiful as her mother. Before she was young, she was harassed by many people. When she was fifteen, she was even bullied by a gangster."

   "Mother and daughter are powerless, because they are looked down upon as concubines and prostitutes, so even if Qinglian is bullied, no one can stand up for them."

   "That **** was still a little apprehensive at first. After all, he was a former royal. Even if the feudal dynasty was overthrown at that time and a new rule began, he was also worried that a skinny camel would be bigger than a horse."

   "But gradually he found that the mother and daughter were more afraid than him, so he became more courageous. He went to Qinglian every now and then, insulting and persecuting her in various ways, and finally went directly to the house and lived in it."

   "Mother and daughter are crying every day, and the land is not working, so miserable. The gangsters got worse, and began to dislike the old and yellow Qingmiao, who was an eyesore, and sold her to an old bachelor. Within a year, she was tortured to death."
