Lan Guoer called the Ye brothers and sisters, told them Mr. Qin's address, and agreed to meet at the door in half an hour. Then she went there with Wang Er.
On the way, Wang Er chattered on and on and told her a lot about his experiences over the past six months.
He was beaten by thugs for helping people carry bags at the train station, and was scolded by an old lady for stealing his territory when he picked up some scraps. If he hadn't been watched by the Revolutionary Committee every time he asked for food, he would have wanted to put a bowl on the overpass and beg for food.
"I see you're only thinking about making money. Have you ever thought about studying more or learning some skills?"
Seeing that he was at the age of studying, but his mind was completely focused on making money, Lan Guoer couldn't help but ask.
Wang Er snorted and laughed.
"What's the point of studying? Can it help grandma eat meat and live a good life? When I was in elementary school, I always ranked first in the grade!
But so what? Not only can I not help my grandma, but I also have to work hard to make tea to earn money for my tuition and books."
When he said this, his eyes dimmed, then quickly brightened again.
"Look, I'm not studying anymore. Not only do I not have to pay tuition, but I can also save over twenty yuan a month. I'm almost catching up with a regular factory worker! Isn't this more practical than going to school?"
Seeing him pretending to be tough and obsessed with money, Lan Guoer shook her head and was too lazy to talk to him about any big principles.
Everyone has their own helplessness and their own choices!
She believed that with this boy's intelligence, he would not really give up studying.
Moreover, she herself knew very well that in the face of the huge opportunities brought about by the reform, knowledge, academic qualifications, and even everything seemed less important!
As the saying goes, if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly to the sky.
As long as you have the courage to try boldly and take the first step bravely, you may be able to seize this rare opportunity and change the destiny of yourself and even your entire family.
On the contrary, those who stand in their comfort zone, are timid and stand still, are likely to be left far behind by this surging trend and miss many unexpected opportunities.
As they were talking, they turned several corners on the road and finally arrived in front of a villa.
This place is not far from the guesthouse where Lan Guoer lives, only about ten minutes' walk away, but it is obviously much higher in altitude than the guesthouse. Looking down from above, it looks like it is halfway up the mountain.
Perhaps for this reason, compared to the hustle and bustle of people and cars coming and going at the guesthouse, this place is obviously much quieter, giving a feeling of "finding peace in the midst of noise, hiding away in the city".
Rows of lush, towering ancient trees stand on both sides of the road. They are neatly arranged like loyal guards, with their branches and leaves intertwined to form a natural green sky.
Sunlight streams through the gaps in the leaves, dotting the ground with tiny specks of light, like a beautiful and mysterious painting of light and shadow. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, a gentle melody played by nature, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
"This Mr. Qin is really good at choosing places!"
Lan Guoer looked at the small villa in front of her and couldn't help but exclaimed!
Seeing that she was interested in the house, Wang Er introduced it to her with a tactful look.
"This old house on the mountain was once occupied by foreigners. Next to it is the ancient city wall! The surrounding scenery is amazing!
I heard that Mr. Qin spent a huge amount of money to buy it from the previous owner!
It’s a bit pricey, but this house is really nice, big, beautiful, and quiet! If I had money, I’d also like to let my grandma live in a house like this!”
Lan Guoer nodded!
Not only does he like it, I like it too!
This is something that cannot be bought with money in later generations!
I just wonder if there are any houses like this nearby? And if anyone is willing to buy them? If there are, I think she will buy them without hesitation, no matter how much it costs!
At this moment, the sound of a car suddenly came from the road, followed by Ye Yuanyuan's cheerful shout:
"Guo'er, we're here!"
In the blink of an eye, the car came to them and passed by them.
Ye Jingnan sat in the driver's seat and skillfully turned the steering wheel. With a beautiful drift, the car stopped steadily on the side of the gate.
Ye Yuanyuan couldn't wait to open the back door and ran towards Lan Guoer.
"Guo'er, shouldn't you praise me? Look, I even borrowed a car to make it easier for us to transport the goods!"
She pointed at the jeep that had just stopped and took credit for it.
"Great!" Lan Guo'er clapped in agreement and praised, "Give Ye the Advanced Individual Award and the Medal of Understanding! Wang Er, hurry up, play the music!"
As soon as Ye Jingnan got out of the car, he saw the little woman's funny and naughty side. His slender fingers casually fiddled with the car keys in his hand. He turned his head and couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth.
Wang Er naturally knew that the two women were joking. He chuckled and urged,
"Now that everyone is here, let's go in! If we get the goods sooner, we can start earlier, right? Master Qin must be waiting impatiently!"
Ye Jingnan leaned against the side of the car, looked around, and pointed at the gate with his chin.
"Then let's go! You're the only one familiar with this place. Do you still need us to lead the way for you?"
The mid-morning sunlight just happened to fall on him, outlining his tall and strong figure, making him particularly eye-catching.
Only then did Lan Guoer notice that he was different today.
He was wearing a tank top, green military pants, and Liberation shoes... He looked like he was going to the countryside to plant rice seedlings. This was completely different from his previous attire of a white shirt and black leather shoes.
However, it also adds a bit of manly youth and vitality.
She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, this is what a man should be like!
Of course, this is by no means derogatory!
The main reason is that Ye Jingnan is so "beautiful" and has fair skin. He is the kind of person that girls would envy so much that their jaws would drop when they see him!
Coupled with the white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses he usually wears... he really doesn't look very manly!
Wang Er knocked on the door rhythmically, and it sounded like some secret signal. The heavy door creaked and quickly opened from the inside.
"You brat! Didn't we agree on nine o'clock? Look at what time it is now! Master Qin is getting impatient and thinks you tricked him!"
The man who opened the door was a middle-aged uncle in his forties or fifties, wearing a long gown. Seeing Wang Er, he couldn't help but nag him for a few words, then pointed inside the house.
"Come in quickly! Remember to make up your mind and apologize first."
