Yi Qingqing took off the things on her glasses and saw the scene in front of her. She wanted to run away.

"Happy 21st birthday to our Little Golden Flower Comrade Yi Qingqing. This is a special commemorative birthday card issued by the organization. Throw flowers!"

??ヽ(°▽°)ノ? (Colorful pieces of paper are scattered from her)

Yi Qingqing already has three red paper poster greeting cards of this type. This is the fourth one. Compared with the previous three, the content of the words is a little different.

The age of the happy birthday wishes has changed, and then the signature, this time it is "awarded jointly by the Four Golden Flowers and their families."

The familiar atmosphere of middle school is late but arrives.

I thought there would be no place for my friends to embarrass themselves this time, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape.

Next, she was given a big red flower like a zombie and received a birthday souvenir that was full of retro feeling.

"Ding ding ding ding!" Li Mengxue presented her with a birthday souvenir, a large red enamel basin: "Considering that you probably have enough enamel pots, we upgraded it to an enamel basin this time. How about it? Isn't it a surprise?"

"Surprise, very surprise, thank you for the organization's arrangement!" Yi Qingqing said with a smile, "I thought I couldn't celebrate my birthday like this this year!"

"It's such a coincidence. Last week, the Housing Authority opened up the sale of houses, and I quickly bought one. This way, I could celebrate your birthday well. You are so lucky. Our organization's birthday tradition has been perfectly maintained!"

Li Mengxue said proudly that she had finally become one of the wealthy people in the capital, and the owner of this courtyard house was named Li!

Yi Qingqing felt that her luck was a bit bad, but she didn't expect that the problem was here.

Li Mengxue actually bought a house, but in order not to ruin the surprise, she had not read the golden book, so she did not notice it.

Never mind. It doesn’t matter whether she is a middle school student or not. What is more important is to look at the house she bought and find out about the market price.

Yi Qingqing looked around. Although the house was small, it was fairly neat. It was just... a little too shabby. The weeds in the yard at the entrance were as tall as her calves!

Doors, windows, beams, eaves and other places that should have had patterns have all been worn away or sawed off.

"Ahem, it is a bit shabby! The policy was just relaxed not long ago, and there are not many people selling houses. This house is already a general among short people, but no one has lived in it for a while. The key is that the location is good, and you don’t have to change buses to go to school. It looks a bit broken, but the doors and windows are not damaged. It can be lived in after cleaning. The main reason is that the seller is in urgent need of money, and the price is low. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again," said Li Mengxue.

At first, she also wanted to buy an antique courtyard house with a well-preserved interior.

But although houses can be bought and sold now, the houses for sale at the Housing Authority are all listed for sale by other owners.

In those days, there were no commercial housing, and houses were all allocated in the past, so few people had idle houses.

There are some houses that were confiscated before and have now been returned, but the time is too short and the people are still in the local area and have not had time to return to Beijing, so how can they deal with the houses in time?

So if you really want to find a good one, you have to wait patiently and need some luck. Although this one is a bit small, with only one entrance, and looks a bit deserted, it has a good location and is cheap. It would be nice to buy it as a transition and wait for it to appreciate in value later.

"How much is it?" Yi Qingqing asked curiously.

Li Mengxue pointed at three fingers and said, "Three thousand! Even if we rent this house out now, each room will cost three dollars a month. There are six rooms and a small yard!"

Yi Qingqing nodded. She couldn't tell whether it was a good deal or not. The policy had just been released and there was no standard for housing prices. But looking at the rental-to-sale ratio, it was still good.

"I cleaned the kitchen last week, and now we can have meals together like we do in the countryside!" Li Mengxue said happily.

As the birthday boy today, Yi Qingqing doesn't need to work today. She just needs to wait for dinner.

The dishes were cooked by others.

Because the entire yard, except for the kitchen, had not been cleaned up yet, so they carried the table to the yard to eat this meal.

The noisy and playful meal made me feel like I was back in the days when I was a sent-down youth cadre!

"Where do you want to go after dinner?" Li Mengxue asked Yi Qingqing.

"What are you playing for? Let me help you pull out the weeds in this yard first!" Yi Qingqing said.

"You're the birthday girl today, how can I ask you to work?" Li Mengxue waved her hand: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to move in, I can just take my time later!"

"If we don't help you, how long will you be able to finish this by yourself? Besides, I'm the birthday boy and I have the final say!" Yi Qingqing said.

This yard is small, but it is still a yard after all, and it is so dusty that it would be difficult for one person to clean it!

"Qingqing~ you are so thoughtful!" Li Mengxue pinched her throat and acted coquettishly, "But today we are all wearing new skirts, which are not suitable for work. Don't worry, I have made plans. After the exam is over next Friday morning, I will drag you to help me clean up in the afternoon. I won't be polite to you!"

"..." Yi Qingqing rolled her eyes: "Love is waiting for us here!"

"Hahaha!" Li Mengxue laughed so hard that her body was shaking. "I absolutely cannot let go of any of you, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven of us who are providing free labor!"

"Food must be provided!" Qian Lailai emphasized.

"Not only food but also accommodation is provided. During the summer vacation, you can all stay here for as long as you want," Li Mengxue said generously, "We can squeeze in a little bit, and we can all stay!"

Qian Lailai waved his hand and said, "Forget it. The school library is open during the summer vacation. I want to stay in school to write articles. You have already bought a house, so I also want to save some money and buy a small house in the capital!"

"Good idea! I support you. You will definitely not regret buying a house in the capital!" Li Mengxue agreed.

Even if it is difficult to buy a courtyard house by writing articles, it is still possible to buy other houses. With the ability of money, there will be no problem.

Wang Lingling also said, "I plan to go back to Hai City with Shiyan during the summer vacation, and our two families want to discuss getting engaged during the winter vacation."

"Qingqing, what about you? Aren't you planning to go home?" Li Mengxue looked at Yi Qingqing who was silent.

Yi Qingqing nodded: "I'll go back during the winter vacation."

"Then come and keep me company!" Li Mengxue pulled her hand and shook it back and forth, almost making her dizzy.

"I refuse. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I don't want to be your cook! I have some spare money and I should consider buying a house during the summer vacation." Yi Qingqing would not be fooled!

Li Mengxue sighed as her little trick was discovered. "Okay, when you buy a house, you must invite us to warm up the house!"

It would be fine if I could just have a meal!
