"It's only because you, Xiaojuan, helped me that I'm so grateful. If it were anyone else, I really wouldn't be willing to rent it out like this. You can see for yourself that I've carefully repaired the house and yard. You can move your things and it'll be ready to live in."
Fan Juan directly quoted a price of eighteen yuan per month, but it was to be paid every three months. Even so, the total cost was forty-two yuan, which Yang Yufen thought was still very good.
Fan Juan also saw that this house was much better cleaned than the ones she had seen elsewhere, which was why she was willing to ask for a higher price.
Of course, Aunt Yang was easy to get along with, and they were essentially cooperating.
“I can’t take orders that are too urgent. Everything else is the same as before. If you need anything, you can come to the research institute’s staff quarters to find me.”
Okay.
Fan Juan was happy and wanted to invite Yang Yufen to dinner, but Yang Yufen declined, bringing her two children with her.
Since Yang Yufen collaborated with Fan Juan, the price of their bamboo weaving could not be set the same way as when they sold it to foreigners.
The price has dropped, and now it's at a reasonable level.
This way, Yang Yufen wouldn't need to take her two children out to set up a stall in the wind and sun.
Riding her tricycle, Yang Yufen turned and went to another small courtyard.
Fan Juan had no idea and happily went back to school to move her things.
The more she earned, the less she dared to leave her things at school. However, the courtyard she had found was too far from the school, making it inconvenient to retrieve her belongings in case of an emergency. That's why she wanted to rent a place to live separately, and she could rent out her courtyard.
Professor Wen knew about Yang Yufen's two courtyards and was helping her find tenants. When he learned that one courtyard had already been rented out, Professor Wen rented out the other courtyard for Yang Yufen as well.
It costs twelve yuan. The place is a bit small, but it has everything you need and is easy to get in and out of.
The amount was 144 yuan a year, and Yang Yufen was not in a hurry to return it to Professor Wen.
I put away 100 yuan, and I'll use the rest to buy things for the kids.
With the Dragon Boat Festival just around the corner, Yang Yufen made some seasonal bamboo crafts, small dragon boats, and zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).
Yang Yufen had figured out the birdcage before, but she wasn't going to go to Badaling anymore. She wasn't planning to sell it either, so she just gave it to Fan Juan.
When Fan Juan saw the birdcage, she immediately thought of her professor, who was always taking leave. She felt she had to coax him a little, so she sent the birdcage over.
"Not bad, at least you have a conscience."
The professor didn't show it on his face, but he was very happy inside.
The student is capable, but I'm also worried that he might neglect his studies and go astray. However, it seems that this student is excellent; he respects his teacher and knows how to cater to his interests.
Fan Juan paid for the birdcage herself, and her professor tossed her a book on a less common language. It was a book full of the professor's notes, with very clear annotations.
Fan Juan was experiencing both pain and joy, studying diligently late into the night.
Professor Wen knew that Yang Yufen had started doing bamboo weaving again, so he was no longer worried.
Instead, he became worried about Qin Nian, who was far away.
"Comrade Qin, come quick, can you help me figure out which step went wrong?"
The old professor brought over a data book, which Qin Nian took and quickly flipped through.
"The problem here is that the location is wrong, which is why everything else is also wrong."
Besides calculations, Qin Nian also absorbed a lot of different knowledge into her mind every day.
Supplies were scarce at the base, and Qin Nian even shared some of the supplies she brought with her.
Qin Nian lost weight rapidly, but her mental state improved more and more.
A man was blindfolded and led onto a boat, only having time to hurriedly leave a note, hoping it would be discovered by his own people in time, rather than being leaked.
