When entering Goldfish Alley, Yu Haitang felt a little scared.
There was no way. She had never been here before, and it was pitch black. Although there was a little moonlight, she still couldn't see anything clearly. Everything was blurry. How could she not be scared?
"Brother Dong, where are we going?"
Yu Haitang's voice trembled a little, and her body leaned back involuntarily, directly into the arms of Jia Dongsheng who was riding a bicycle.
"It's just ahead. We'll be there soon."
Jia Dongsheng's voice gave Yu Haitang some courage, but she stopped talking and closed her eyes, planning to open them again when she got to the destination.
After a few minutes, the bike stopped.
"Brother Dong, are we there yet?" Yu Haitang asked.
"Well, come on down."
Yu Haitang finally opened her eyes. In the moonlight, she saw that they were at the gate of a courtyard. She couldn't help but become curious: "Brother Dong, where are we?"
Could it be that the exercise that requires a lot of energy is carried out here?
But I didn't see any light from inside through the crack in the door.
Do we have to exercise in the dark?
With doubts, Yu Haitang couldn't help but pull the corner of Jia Dongsheng's clothes after getting out of the car.
"This is my house." Jia Dongsheng's indifferent answer sounded like a bolt from the blue to Yu Haitang, leaving her speechless.
house?
Brother Dong’s house?
Such a big yard!
Although he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside from outside the gate, Yu Haitang grew up in Beijing after all. How could he not be familiar with siheyuans?
The gate in front of us, plus the back house next to the gate, this is obviously a quadrangle courtyard.
Although she couldn't tell from the gate how many courtyards this courtyard had, even if it was just one courtyard, it was already very big, very big.
At least, for Yu Haitang, their family was already living a pretty good life, but, they only had two rooms in a courtyard.
And just now she heard with her own ears that Jia Dongsheng said this was his house, but he did not say that he had several rooms in it.
These are two completely different concepts.
At this moment, Yu Haitang's mind was in a mess, but one thought was particularly prominent, that is, her brother Dong actually had a complete courtyard house.
It's incredible.
Seeing Yu Haitang become silly, Jia Dongsheng smiled slightly. For ordinary people in this era, owning two rooms was already a very good life. As for the whole yard, that was unimaginable.
In fact, in later generations, if someone owned a siheyuan, it would be quite unimaginable. After all, it was Beijing in 1949, and even the cheapest siheyuan would cost tens of millions!
He opened the gate and led the dazed Yu Haitang into the courtyard.
Passing through the screen wall and across the hanging flower gate, there are three side rooms on each side, and the main house has five rooms, three main rooms and two side rooms. It is a very standard courtyard house with one entrance.
After parking the car, I saw that Yu Haitang had not recovered yet. The impact was quite big!
Holding her little hand, he walked step by step to the three main rooms, but walked into the one on the left.
This is because the main room in the middle is not a bedroom, but a living room for entertaining guests.
When it came to the renovation, Jia Dongsheng did not destroy the layout.
Before the reform, this courtyard was Jia Dongsheng's largest personal asset. Whenever he needed to entertain guests or do something else, he would come to this courtyard.
He entered the house, turned on the light, and made Yu Haitang sit on the kang. Then he went to get firewood and lit the fireplace.
The weather was cold, and he didn't want to sleep here overnight, otherwise Yu Haitang would catch a cold.
After all, you will be sweating profusely after exercising for a while.
"Brother Dong, is this really your house?"
While Jia Dongsheng was busy making a fire, Yu Haitang had already come to his senses. He quietly came to Jia Dongsheng's side and asked in a slightly incredulous tone.
"Of course, how could I lie to you?"
After the fire was lit, Jia Dongsheng stood up, turned around, looked at the pretty Yu Haitang, and responded with a smile.
"Brother Dong, you actually have such a big yard?" Yu Haitang still couldn't believe it.
"What's the big deal? A courtyard house doesn't cost much these days."
Hearing Jia Dongsheng's nonchalant answer, Yu Haitang's eyes widened: "Brother Dong, a courtyard house costs at least 2,000 yuan, and you actually said it's not much money?"
Perhaps in Yu Haitang's mind at this moment, two thousand yuan is really an astronomical figure.
After all, the Yu family is not a wealthy family, and besides her parents, there is an older sister and two younger brothers in the family. Such a large family can't save much money.
Two thousand yuan is an even more unimaginable number.
"Two thousand yuan, is that a lot?"
Jia Dongsheng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, as if two thousand yuan was no different from two yuan.
"Brother Dong, you are so awesome."
Well, even though Yu Haitang is a high school student, there are no other words to describe Jia Dongsheng. He can only use this compliment that every man hopes to hear from a woman.
"Haha, this is just the beginning. I have something even more powerful." Jia Dongsheng laughed proudly.
"Is there anything more powerful?"
Yu Haitang had clearly misunderstood. She widened her eyes and asked in shock, "Do you have another courtyard house?"
This question is correct. Jia Dongsheng has more than one courtyard house, he has several, and there will be more and more in the future.
However, when he boasted about how great he was, he wasn't referring to a small courtyard, but...
