Yi Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was complete.
This year, there will be one more item to be added to the sacrificial offerings for the Ghost Festival, and she made a note of it.
Fortunately, she bought enough gold paper from Yinshui Lane during the Ghost Festival last year, so she has no shortage of materials. She just needs to spare more time to make paper-made items.
It's not a waste of time, just think of it as practicing a skill.
I still have to upgrade my paper-making skills to level 6 as soon as possible, learn some skills, and make a few paper assistants to help with the work, freeing up her hands.
They are needed in the fields of the portable space, and they are also needed for cleaning and guarding the courtyards.
You have to make an effort during this period before school to improve your skills.
After discussing the arrangements for the next two days with Yun Guyuan, they got busy according to the plan.
The furniture needed for the yard on Xuefu Road needs to be made and the bicycles need to be assembled. In addition, it has been almost a year and the fruit trees in the portable space need to be harvested. The fresh vegetables stored in the portable space are almost gone, so the vegetables in the vegetable garden need to be harvested and stored. The herbs and incense-making materials also need to be collected, processed, stored, and then new things can be planted.
They can both do this together, a little bit each day, and use the rest of the time to study.
Yiqingqing has no plans to renovate the small red brick building for the time being.
Now that it has been renovated, she doesn't have much time to live there, and there is no one to take care of it. It cannot be protected even after it is renovated. Let's talk about it later. Anyway, the land is hers now, and with the renovation package in hand, she can make it look perfect at any time.
That day, Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan were planing wood when Dafu suddenly ran over, bit her trouser leg and dragged her out.
"What's wrong?" Yi Qingqing asked puzzledly.
"Meow~" Daifu turned his head to the southeast and called to her.
Yi Qingqing looked in that direction. Isn't that the direction of the courtyard gate? "Someone is coming?"
Daifuku nodded.
Yun Guyuan stopped what he was doing and asked, "Who will come to see us?"
Very few people know that they live here. The people who might come to look for them should not have returned to the capital yet, right?
Yi Qingqing was not surprised. She calculated the time and thought that Comrade Da Jinhua should have arrived in the capital. "We'll know when we go and take a look."
Outside the courtyard gate, Li Mengxue, who had just transferred ownership of the house and couldn't control her excitement and ran over to share it with her friends, was already sitting calmly on the steps outside the door.
"Am I stupid? With such a big yard, who would stay in the front yard for nothing? No one inside can hear you knocking on the door. There's no gatehouse like in ancient times! There's no doorbell like in modern times!"
Wang Jingyi told her that he had two shops and a villa in the mountains outside the city that he had sold to a young couple living in Luoguxiang. Li Mengxue inquired about them and found out that they were Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan.
I'm tired of envying her. She had almost given up the idea of buying a large courtyard house and was planning to buy a few shops with good locations in the capital to prepare for starting her own business after the legalization of individual business owners.
Unexpectedly, I found a house, a courtyard house with three entrances, but it was much more expensive and I couldn’t get the price down no matter what I did.
She is no longer the person who thought that in this era, courtyard houses in Beijing were as cheap as cabbages, and as long as one had money, one could buy a lot of them.
Good courtyard houses are still rare in this era.
The same house, but not as well preserved as Qingqing's, and without furniture, was bought for five thousand yuan more expensive than Qingqing's.
I felt happy and heartbroken at the same time. She will have her own house in the future, but the feeling of having her wallet emptied all of a sudden was not a pleasant one.
But even if she spent 15,000 yuan to buy this courtyard house, it was still a profit. She was mostly happy. Ying Hua suddenly went out on a mission again, and she had no one to share her happiness with. When she heard Wang Jingyi talking about Qingqing and the others, she knew they had returned to the capital, so she ran over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
After knocking on the door for a long time and getting no response, she sat down helplessly. She felt very unhappy and less cheerful.
She needs to take a break before walking again, she is so tired from running!
Just when she was feeling dejected, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. She stood up suddenly and asked, "Qingqing?"
"Coming, coming," Yi Qingqing pushed the door handle and opened the door.
"Qingqing, hahaha, I bought a courtyard house with three entrances. You will never guess where it is!" Li Mengxue was excited again. She pulled Yi Qingqing over, held her hand, and said with a happy face.
Yun Guyuan watched helplessly as his love left him and went into the arms of another girl.
"Where is it? Tell me quickly!" Yi Qingqing urged.
I barely satisfied Comrade Dajinhua's desire to show off and said it with pretended curiosity.
Section 225
"Luoguxiang! Hahaha! No. 13 Luoguxiang! Rounding it off, we are neighbors, living on the same street!" After saying this, Li Mengxue felt much more relieved.
"Great!" Yi Qingqing cooperated with the performance and looked thoughtful: "Wait, No. 13 Luoguxiang? Why does it look familiar? Was the previous owner surnamed Wang?"
"Yes, it was because he mentioned you that I learned that you had returned to the capital and bought his shop and old villa in the mountains. How generous!" Li Mengxue said, looking at them with the eyes of a wealthy person: "Please allow me to call you rich sister!"
"What is a rich woman?" Comrade Yi·Dishuibulou·Qingqing looked confused.
"Um...a very rich lesbian!" Li Mengxue explained.
"No, no, not really," Yi Qingqing said modestly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Who wouldn't be happy to be called a rich woman? She can use this term in the future, because Comrade Da Jinhua 'invented' it!
"Hey, you're being modest now!" Li Mengxue looked around and said, "Let's go in and talk!"
After entering the door, Li Mengxue pulled her aside and said earnestly: "Qingqing, it's not shameful for us to make money privately. Although the current situation is not good and we have to be sneaky, don't worry, I have a feeling that dawn will come soon! Then we can make money openly! We will be rich women together, haha!"
When she heard Wang Jingyi say that the villa and one of the shops in the mountains had been transferred to Qingqing's name, and even when they were still looking at other houses, she knew that Qingqing's previous statement that Yun Guyuan paid the majority of the money for the purchase of the courtyard house was just an external statement.
She must have money, and it is not given by her family, or money from legitimate sources in the current situation, otherwise she would not hide it. If she has anything, she would sell it privately! She understands this very well. Every time she goes to the black market, she is terrified. It is not something a human would do.
Yi Qingqing: “???”
What was Comrade Da Jinhua thinking? She almost thought that the reason she had prepared had already been told!
