Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night.

When Shen Guanglin was happy about buying a house, he immediately wanted to find someone to share it with, but he was not looking for his younger sister Li Li, but his younger sister Li Rong.

After all, her younger sister Li Li doesn't care about material conditions, even though she eats beef. The younger sister is different. She always complains that Shen Guanglin's house is too small and not what she expected in life.

"Miss, I bought a yard in Shuimo Hutong?"

"Just buy it, tell me what you are doing."

The young lady was bending over to cook in the dormitory. A strip of pure white was exposed at the waistline of her back, and she seemed to be able to see two "waist pits". Oops, her mouth was dry again.

Spring is the season of thinking about spring, sin, sin.

"I said I bought a house, why aren't you happy for me?" Shen Guanglin was confused. Houses have always been a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood. How could she be indifferent?

"I'm the one who bought a house... What did you say? You bought a house! Where is it? You finally realized that your dog house is too small." The young lady also realized that Shen Guanglin had bought another house. A bulk commodity.

"No, Shen Guanglin, it costs a lot of money to buy a house. Where did you get the money?" The young lady didn't look stupid. She knew that the organization gave Teacher Shen some money, but that money couldn't do so many things. Bar.

Shen Guanglin has certainly thought about this issue.

So, he took out a stack of papers that he had translated for other teachers from his desk and said, "Did you see this? This is for a fee. I modify the translation and submit it to foreign publications. You can ask the teachers for payment." "

"Fees?"

"Well, it can be said that it is."

Shen Guanglin couldn't explain what was going on. After all, it was not a glorious way to make money by eating and getting cards. It would be best if the young lady could understand and figure it out on her own.

"Oh, that's okay."

The young lady accepted this matter calmly. It seemed that with the royalties, she could support buying a bicycle, a TV, a refrigerator, and a house. All this was as it should be.

"No, little sister, why don't you continue asking?" Shen Guanglin also prepared other excuses.

"What am I asking? How much did you get for the manuscript? I won't give you this chance to show off. To tell you the truth, my mother has a good friend named Liu Shaotang, and he is a writer. He earns a lot from writing manuscripts. I know this."

The Liu Shaotang Li Rong is talking about is indeed a very famous Hehuadian school writer, known as the "Son of the Grand Canal".

He once published four articles before 1960, and received a total of 18,000 yuan in royalties, which was a lot of money.

After he got rich, he immediately spent 2,500 yuan to buy a yard adjacent to Zhongnanhai. It was just like what he wrote in his novel: "Five rooms, one kitchen, one toilet, one storage room, and five jujube trees." tree and five locust trees.”

Later, he once shouted the slogan "Fight for 30,000 yuan in royalties."

Writers, most of them are industrious and indifferent to grains. They still have 2,300 in savings.

I really want to get to know this strange man Shen Guanglin, and I heard from the young lady that he is now an editorial board member of "Beijing Literature". Brother Guanglin can also submit articles to him.

Shen Guanglin did write a lot of manuscripts, but unfortunately they were all in English. Not only did he not get paid for the manuscripts he submitted, but some of them had to pay for publication himself.

I won’t go into detail about this matter. Li Rong can understand it on her own and not pursue it.

The house has been vacated, but it still needs repairs.

Shen Guanglin left Su Youpeng another 1,000 yuan for repairs, which should be enough.

The total cost of buying six houses is less than RMB 10,000. Oh my, house prices are so cheap now.

However, money is very important now, so you still have to hold back. The US dollars in your hand are less than 30,000.

Before moving, Miss Li Rong of course had to go there for an on-site inspection, and she decided that she also wanted to have a room of her own.

As for why, who knows.

Oops, I'm so anxious that I can't wait any longer.

Although the school is not far from my new home, my bicycle still has to be put to use.

The spring sun is shining, catkins are flying, and the laughter of a man and a woman on a bicycle is the whole spring.

The new house will arrive soon.

"Is it so big?" The young lady expressed surprise. This is much larger than the two-story building in her home.

"That's right, more rooms make it easier for people to live in. I can also give birth to a bunch of children, and each child has a room." Shen Guanglin is still very satisfied with his first house.

"I'm afraid your wife is not a sow." The young lady smiled.

"You can't say that about my sister."

"roll!"

Throwing the bicycle to Li Rong for support, Shen Guanglin stepped forward and pushed the door open:

"Ding ding ding dong, welcome!"

It was very embarrassing. When I opened the door, I was greeted by a putrid stench, which was a different kind of hot odor.

This smell came from the yard, as if it had come specifically to welcome them.

What does this smell like?

Shen Guanglin took Li Rong into the courtyard. Looking around, he saw that the courtyard was completely different from before.

The two rockeries in the middle are still there, and the jujube and pomegranate trees are also preserved.

However, the original messy ground in the yard had been cleaned up and surrounded by stones.

It turned out that the scalper Xiao Su and two other young men were digging the ground. The entire yard was roughly divided into four or five plots of different sizes, and there was a dung pile in each plot.

The stench comes from here.

"What are you doing?"

"You are growing vegetables!"

Shen Guanglin and Li Rong exclaimed at the same time.

This is the difference between having life experience and not having life experience.

Although Shen Guanglin has a rural registered permanent residence, his family has a house and fields, and the scenery is endless, he has never done farm work. He is completely like a child who grew up in the city. He can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and leeks.

Li Rong has been registered as an urban resident since she was a child, and is considered to have "good clothes and good food".

But Lao Li's family also has a self-reliant part, because there is a vegetable patch downstairs.

Here, no matter Lao Li or Aunt Song, no matter Li Rong or Li Li, they all have to do some farm work.

Vegetables grown at home taste more delicious.

Therefore, when Li Rong saw the vegetable garden, she naturally felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

What's going on with Su Youpeng? Not only can he be a scalper, but he can also be a real estate agent, and now he can even grow vegetables?

Otherwise, just be the protagonist!

Look, the name is awesome. According to the development trajectory of this name, it will take another 8 years to form a group and debut and become famous.

Su Youpeng does know farming skills. After all, he has been in the countryside as an intellectual for so many years. If he could not learn farming again, he would have starved to death.

Whoever suffers the suffering of young people sent to the countryside knows it well.

"Teacher Shen, sister-in-law, you are here."

Su Youpeng and two other young men were working in full swing. When they came in, they were digging into the soil with pickaxes.

"I say Xiao Su, just say what you say. Don't call people random names. If you really don't know what to call me, you can call me by my name. Rongrong, you can call her sister. After all, I also call her little sister. Others Don’t shout your name randomly, because I will still have to..."

"Shut up!" Li Rong did not stop what Su Youpeng said just now, but she didn't want Shen Guanglin to continue "talking nonsense".

"Teacher Shen, I am already 28 this year. I don't think sister Rongrong is over 20. Isn't it appropriate for me to call her sister like this?"

"Okay, okay, you can scream whatever you like. But what are you doing? I don't even recognize this whole yard."

Speaking of the new yard, Su Youpeng became interested:

"Brother Guanglin, have you seen that I have tidied up every room for you now. The floors are all paved with big blue bricks. I brought them from the old city wall in Xiyuan. I also helped you with the walls. It has been painted; the door has not been replaced. I think the quality is okay. It has not been deformed for hundreds of years. I have also replaced the glass with new ones. After repainting, it will be as good as new... .”

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about what are you doing now?" Shen Guanglin didn't like the original taste of this vegetable.

"Didn't you say that you need to move the big bluestone in the middle? I just thought about decorating the yard as well. It would be a pity not to plant some vegetables in such a big yard. Don't look at this little work, it's quite tiring. Damn it, I worked all day yesterday and I haven’t finished it today..."

Go ahead, this job is so subjective!

Originally, according to Shen Guanglin's plan, a few parking spaces were arranged in the yard, and then a garden fish pond was built. Now it has become a vegetable plot.

"Where did this circle of stones come from? Why are they carved and decorated so beautifully?" Shen Guanglin discovered that the fence around the vegetable garden was unusual.

"Most of them were originally found in the yard, and some were picked up outside the door. The roads leading to the fields are full of such stones. I didn't dare to ask for the ones with words on them because I was afraid it would be unlucky."

Shen Guanglin understood, this was probably another cultural relic.

There are indeed many fields under cultivation in the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. When farmers farmed, they would pick out "bad stones" and put them on the roadside. Most of the good stones were moved back to the local foundations.

"Where is the stone with the words on it? Take me to see it."

"Well, when I was cleaning up the house, I found one on the wall of a room. It wasn't a tombstone, but there was a poem on it."

This is something new, go take a look.

It's really a poem.

"This is the eve of Qianlong and the Jiaqing year of the Ming Dynasty.
