On the plane, Wang Kuanglin was very enthusiastic towards Yuan Fangguo, but Yuan Fangguo never revealed to him the true circumstances of his arrival in Beijing, and tried his best to play it off with Wang Kuanglin.
It was precisely because of this that the nouveau riche on the side of the aisle looked at Yuan Fangguo with envy. In his heart, he desperately wanted Wang Kuanglin to speak to him seriously, even just for one sentence.
However, along the way, Wang Kuanglin didn't even pay attention to him, which made the nouveau riche very depressed.
When the plane finally landed, Yuan Fangguo felt that he had had enough of Wang Kuanglin's nagging, so he pulled his girlfriend and hurried towards the exit.
Wang Kuanglin was stunned. He originally thought that Yuan Fangguo was really investigating the case and was almost ready to give up on this big fish. However, after seeing that Yuan Fangguo brought his girlfriend with him, he suddenly realized that this guy had not told him the truth just now.
"Brother, I'll treat you to a meal, and we'll talk while we eat." The nouveau riche came over again.
"I'm inviting you, but now that we're in Beijing, how can I let you treat me?" Wang Kuanglin said with a look of denial.
The upstart quickly said, "Brother, how about you treat me after this is done?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Wang Kuanglin deliberately dragged out his tone. "Then if you treat me, I won't ask my driver to come over for the time being."
After saying this, Wang Kuanglin deliberately waved his new Motorola mobile phone in front of the nouveau riche.
…
Yuan Fangtai did not come to the airport to pick him up. The two brothers had already made an appointment to meet the next day.
Therefore, the first day in Beijing became a world of just the two of them, Yuan Fangguo and Lin Yumei. They had a Beijing-style meal at noon, strolled around the nearby attractions in the afternoon, and went to Quanjude to taste roast duck in the evening. Their schedule was fully scheduled for the whole day.
It was not until the next morning that Yuan Fangguo saw his second brother, whom he had not seen for half a year.
Compared to the Spring Festival, Yuan Fangtai in front of Yuan Fangguo was darker and thinner. If you didn't look carefully, you might not be able to tell.
"Why are you so thin? So dark?" Yuan Fangguo said with a distressed look on his face. He knew that the training in the army must be extremely hard, otherwise his second brother would definitely not be like this.
"How can I not lose weight if I run three 5km cross-country races every day?" Yuan Fangtai said with a smile, "But I've lost a lot of fat now. My body is all muscle."
"It's all tendon meat." Yuan Fangguo patted his second brother's shoulder and could indeed feel how strong his body was.
"Fang Tai, you have become thinner. Is it because your brother has become fatter?" Lin Yumei on the side also joked.
Yuan Fangtai smiled and said, "It's okay. My brother exercises regularly, so he's not too fat."
"That's right. You see, my brothers all said that I didn't gain weight, but you said that I did." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"You said you exercise regularly, so why didn't I see it now?" Lin Yumei continued half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"I exercise at night." Yuan Fangguo said seriously.
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. When Lin Yumei heard what he said, she thought that the exercise at night was about doing things in bed. She suddenly felt embarrassed and her fair face turned red in an instant.
Fortunately, Yuan Fangtai didn't notice the change in her expression. After checking the time, Yuan Fangtai said, "Brother, do you want to take a walk today or go look at the house?"
Yuan Fangguo said without a second thought, "Let's go look at the house first. You won't be able to come out every day in the future. Just show us the general area and I'll go look at it myself later."
Yuan Fangtai nodded and said with a hint of regret, "I can only take one day off today. You will really have to go and see the rest on your own."
"It's okay. We have plenty of time anyway. By the way, the house has been repaired, did you know?" Yuan Fangguo followed his second brother and chatted about family matters.
Yuan Fangtai nodded. Like his eldest brother, he often wrote letters home. In the past, his third brother would receive them, but now that his third brother was not at home, he could only write to his fourth sister.
"I heard it's very beautiful." Yuan Fangtai said.
"There are two floors and a basement, two storefronts downstairs, and about seven rooms upstairs, which is just right for each of us brothers and sisters to have a room. The third brother has gone home now, so I asked him to take some pictures for you later."
"By the way, did the third child give birth to a son or a daughter? I was so busy recently that I completely forgot about it."
"Big fat boy."
"Oh, this guy will have a hard time in the future. If that fat kid acts as naughty as him in the future, the third child will definitely understand how his parents felt in the past."
"Almost. The third brother has that restless gene in his bones." Yuan Fangguo said.
"How is he doing at the advertising company now? Is he causing you any trouble?"
"It's okay there, mainly because Zhang Qiuling is there. I guess without Zhang Qiuling around, the third brother would still be like a wild monkey."
"Haha, brother, your metaphor of a wild monkey is so appropriate." Yuan Fangtai was amused by his brother's metaphor and couldn't help laughing.
Not only did Yuan Fangtai laugh, but even Lin Yumei beside him started laughing.
The three of them talked and laughed, hailed a taxi, and drove straight to their destination.
There are still many hutongs in old Beijing. With the rise of high-rise buildings outside, many young people have begun to feel that living in the hutongs is not comfortable at all. The high-rise buildings outside are full of modern life and can change to a new environment. For many young people, why not do it?
The value of properties in Beijing is also appreciating rapidly, but it is still slightly inferior to those old courtyard houses that are a bit old.
Soon, they found an agency. According to Yuan Fangtai, a professor at their school also bought a second-hand family housing unit for his son through this agency.
After the real estate agency learned the reason, they quickly found several courtyard houses that met Yuan Fangguo's requirements.
Yuan Fangguo picked up the information and took a quick look at it, and seemed dissatisfied with these courtyard houses.
Seeing that the customer's face showed no sign of excitement, the salesperson quickly said, "These courtyard houses are from the Republic of China period. They are not very old, the location is good, and the price is also competitive compared to the market price..."
The salesperson also spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner. After listening to him, Yuan Fangguo raised his questions.
Yuan Fangguo shook his head and said seriously, "What you said is all right, but these houses are too small. And I looked around and there are no connected ones. Are there any bigger ones?"
When these words were spoken, Yuan Fangtai, Lin Yumei and everyone in the real estate agency were all stunned.
