Chapter 137 Courtyard
Jiang Panyu had no time to socialize with his neighbors at this time. The house, which had not been lived in for several years, was covered with dust everywhere.
Jiang Panyu was choked and sneezed as soon as she entered the door. She took out a mask from her personal space and felt better after putting it on.
It's an entire courtyard. If she were to clean it all by herself, who knows how many days it would take.
And because it is a courtyard with three entrances, there are some flowers and trees planted in each courtyard. These flowers and trees have almost withered because no one has taken care of them for a long time.
The weeds were growing lushly. Just imagine such a big house full of dust and the yard outside was full of weeds. It looked lonely and gloomy.
If the melon-eating system hadn't told Jiang Panyu that the house was absolutely clean and there were no messy or strange things, Jiang Panyu would have been a little scared facing such a big house alone.
It was definitely impossible to finish the cleaning within one day, so Jiang Panyu could only clean the back house of the first entrance first. He planned to live here first, and then clean up the two courtyards at the back slowly.
Fortunately, there was a well in the yard. Jiang Panyu opened the lid, found a bucket in the house and drew water. He found that the water was still clean.
Then began the busy days of washing and drying everywhere. Jiang Panyu cleaned the yard by herself for three days. The house was uninhabitable, so she had to live in the guesthouse and come to work during the day. All the weeds in the yard were removed, and the withered flowers and trees were moved away.
All the furniture in the five back rooms were cleaned and ready for living after ventilation.
But it is December now, the weather is cold, there is no electricity in the house, and there is no kang. It is okay to live here in the summer, but it is a bit troublesome to live here in the winter, as you have to use a brazier to keep warm.
Jiang Panyu had no choice but to register at the school first, and then go to the street office in Guaigun Hutong to register his household registration there.
The neighbors in the alley then realized that the new resident was actually a college student. He was an educated youth who had been admitted to university and returned to the city.
Jiang Panyu went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a big bag of candy. He greeted the neighbors and got to know them.
The houses around Jiang Panyu are also courtyard houses, but there are more than just one family living in them.
There were quite a few families with five, six, or even seven or eight households, especially those who moved in after the educated youth returned to the city.
The neighbors are basically all locals, and some of them are employees of nearby factories and hospitals. They all speak Beijing dialect.
The neighbors around had a good impression of Jiang Panyu. After all, she was admitted to university. Out of respect for a scholar, no one would bother her for no reason.
Then, Jiang Panyu was busy connecting electricity to the house. It was difficult to connect electricity in rural areas these days, but it was not difficult in Beijing. As long as the procedures were complete and the money was paid, it could basically be done.
After completing the formalities, the electricity workers took three days to connect electricity to the entire courtyard.
Jiang Panyu moved into the back house with a cart of charcoal and various daily necessities and officially settled down in the courtyard.
As for the main courtyard and the back room, Jiang Panyu felt that she should hire someone to clean them, as she couldn't do it alone.
School will start after the New Year. According to regulations, she should live on campus, which means she will have even less time.
So Jiang Panyu went directly to the street office, explained the difficulties he had in cleaning the house, and wanted to ask a few people to help with the cleaning. Of course, this would be paid.
One dollar per person per day is not really a deal, because Jiang Panyu explained that it is the money to hire people to clean and treat them to a meal.
Because Jiang Panyu couldn't prepare so many meals by himself, he was willing to pay them to eat at a state-owned restaurant. Since they didn't have tickets, he gave them some extra money as compensation.
The auntie on the street saw her little grandson holding a few candies in his hand, and immediately agreed to the deal. The next day, she found three people for Jiang Panyu. They were all aunties on their street. They worked diligently and efficiently, and were not the kind of petty thieves.
The three aunts worked for her for two days and cleaned up the main courtyard and the back room, and also tidied up the weeds, flowers and trees.
Jiang Panyu walked around the house inside and out, cleaned it very well, and paid the bill readily.
Then she moved from the back house to the main courtyard of the second floor. This is where the head of the family should live!
Afterwards, Jiang Panyu called Lianshan Village again, told her her address, and welcomed her to visit her when she was free in Beijing, although they were now in different schools and would take different paths in the future.
Tan Yanlu will surely rise rapidly in the future with the help of the country's opening-up. Maybe the two of them will have less time to spend together in the future. The two have been together for several years and their personalities are still very compatible. Jiang Panyu still does not want to lose this friendship.
The important thing is, Tan Yanlu, if she wants to make a fortune in business, does she have to invest? Jiang Panyu herself doesn't like doing business and feels that she doesn't have the brains for it, but she has money, so she can invest and become a shareholder!
Tan Yanlu is also one of the heroines of the small world. With the halo of the heroine, she will not lose money no matter what!
And it's not just Tan Yanlu, but also Lian Xiuran and Li Gaoyang, they are all ambitious people with vision and courage. Lian Xiuran is the one destined to succeed.
Jiang Panyu felt that the opportunity was right in front of her, and if she didn't seize it, it would be a waste.
With these three people in front of her, she makes money, receives dividends from shareholders, and lives her life happily. She can go wherever she wants to have fun and find male models whenever she wants. What a comfortable life! Why doesn't she want to start her own business?
Jiang Panyu was very happy. He went to the street to buy New Year's goods in preparation for the New Year. He brought back big and small bags. Jiang Panyu was planning how to eat them.
