A journey for two people is easier, and there are no people, old or young, to take care of, so you can travel day and night as much as possible, and the journey is fast and smooth.
Five or six days later, they arrived at the southern suburbs of the capital.
Calculating the date, there is still enough time.
Lian Xiaomin planned to go to Beijing to visit Qian Ye and the others. She wondered how they had been doing over the past six months.
She usually has no need to go to the capital, so she would only come here when she had the chance, stay for a day or two, and then go back to Sandaogou.
They asked Sun Xuefeng to find a secluded place to park the car. There should be few people coming to this area. The two got out of the car and walked around the obstructed dirt slope towards the capital.
Lian Xiaomin thought for a moment and put the car behind her into the space.
They carried letters of introduction from the transport team and were not afraid of being checked. They went straight into the city at noon in broad daylight and first found a Donglaishun restaurant near Qianmen to eat.
This was Sun Xuefeng’s first time in Beijing, so everything he saw was new to him. It was also quite interesting to listen to the locals name the dishes in their Beijing accent.
The two of them ordered a lot of hot pot meat. They were really hungry, so they ate a lot.
The food we had on the road these days was extremely simple. It was hard to store food in the hot summer, so we could only cook some noodles when we stopped the car and eat them with canned luncheon meat and pickled mustard.
After having enough food and drink, Sun Xuefeng burped and put down his chopsticks.
"Donglaishun is a famous restaurant in Beijing. You have added another experience to your life resume. How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, it's delicious. It's different from the hotpot we had in Hong Kong."
How can it not be delicious if there is meat?
Lian Xiaomin finally paid the bill, and the two of them spent eleven dollars and fifty cents.
Wow, that’s almost half a month’s salary.
Sun Xuefeng smiled and walked out while whispering, "I can't get used to watching you counting the eight-cent bills. You, the 'Hong Kong tycoon', spent millions, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to make it. Now you're back to counting dimes!"
Lian Xiaomin was also amused. Yes, in this era, how could you have the opportunity to spend a lot of money in the mainland? With the planned economy, it was useless to have money.
They were so full that they simply walked around Xidan and Wangfujing. Since they were here, they also had to take Sun Xuefeng to experience the charm of the capital of the motherland.
The two of them also took a bus to Beihai Park. In the summer, the park is full of green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming. There are people rowing boats in the park. It is very pleasant to walk around.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, they returned to the yard on Dongshishi Street.
Lian Xiaomin took out the key from her backpack, opened the lock, and led people in.
"Xiao Min, this yard is really nice. Is it yours?"
"Yeah, let's live here. Let's clean it up first."
I haven't been here for half a year, so there must be dust everywhere. Sun Xuefeng quickly rushed to do the work.
"No, I can clean it myself. Didn't you say you had something to do? Just go ahead and do your thing!"
Lian Xiaomin nodded: "That's fine. I'll leave you the key to the courtyard gate. If you go out, lock the door yourself. I don't know when I'll be back. We just passed by that state-owned restaurant. You can go there for dinner."
After giving the instructions, she pushed out a bicycle that was parked in the compartment.
This was left behind before I left last time. I found a rag to dust off the dirt on it and planned to ride away on my bike.
After leaving the yard, Lian Xiaomin got on his bike and headed straight for No. 70 Nanluoguxiang, which was the yard that Mr. Qian bought when he first arrived in Beijing.
When she got nearby, she first found an alley away from people and slipped into the space.
When dealing with Mr. Qian and others in the past few years, she always used the appearance of Lin Zi. She took a disguise pill and turned into Lin Zi, changed her clothes, left the space, and pushed the cart over.
Mr. Qian's house was at the very back of the alley. She stopped in front of the door and locked the car aside.
I released my mental power and looked inside. I saw that all of them were there at home. Xiaosi and Shunan seemed to have gotten off work and were making dinner.
After observing again, he saw that no one was walking around in the alley. He suddenly had an idea and placed ten bags of rice, ten bags of flour, and ten bags of cornmeal at the gate of the courtyard.
If no one had come specifically to find Qian Ye and the others, they wouldn't have gotten here, so it's okay if they hurry up.
After putting the things away, I photographed the gate.
"Who is here?!"
Xiao Si's voice came, and as soon as he opened the door, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Lin Zi! Oh, I am not dreaming!"
"It's me. Here, let's ask someone to move the things first."
She pointed to the bags of grain piled beside her. Xiao Si saw it and immediately understood. He nodded and went back to call for help.
Soon, Shunxi, Shunan and Qian Ye all came out. Everyone was very excited. They nodded and greeted each other silently without saying anything. They pulled over the carts to transport the food inside.
Thirty bags of grain weighing 100 kilograms were moved to the cellar in the small backyard. Everyone was busy working, wiping their sweat, and asked Linzi to go into the house and sit down.
Uncle Qian said to Shunxi, "Let's go to the nearby state-owned restaurant and order some good dishes. Then ask your brother to steam an extra pot of rice."
Linzi arrived. It was time for dinner. Shunan had already cooked the dishes, so they could just eat at home. It would be the same.
Lian Xiaomin washed her hands, sat on the edge of the kang, and looked around the room. It had changed a lot.
There was no furniture here at first, it was bare, but now there are some tables, chairs and wardrobes.
As usual, she took out two pounds of tea from her bag and asked Mr. Qian to keep it for himself.
Xiao Si made tea for everyone and said happily, "Linzi, I haven't seen you for half a year. I really missed you. I'll go and help finish the meal. You guys can chat first."
"Okay, get busy!"
She and Mr. Qian sat face to face at the kang table, drinking tea.
"Linzi, I have collected more than twenty nice old items in the past six months. They are all hidden in the cellar. You can take them when you leave. Here is the account book for you to take a look at."
