Chapter 307: Beijing is really a dazzling mess

The journey is not far. If it were in the future, the high-speed rail would take only one and a half hours to get there, but today's trains are slow and stop at almost every station, and each stop takes a long time, so it took six hours to get to Beijing.

The two got off the train under the moonlight. There were no taxis in this era, but fortunately there were buses outside the station.

Jiang Duo took Mingzhu and got on the bus with familiarity. They thought the distance was far, but they got off after only a few stops.

Mingzhu was a little surprised, "We're here now?"

Jiang Duo casually pointed to the alley across the street: "That's it."

Mingzhu: ...

Jiang Duo's home is actually here? This is the second ring road, a place where every inch of land will be worth a lot of money in the future.

Seeing her looking at him with jaws wide open, Jiang Duo asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Feiying, I was hugging fat thighs everywhere before, you must have laughed to death."

Jiang Duo pursed his lips, "No." "

How could you not? Do you know how expensive the housing prices here will be in the future? Sky-high! You see, not only are you a role model for the whole army, but you also have a sky-high priced house. I've been searching for a long time and found a fat thigh right next to me!"

Jiang Duo pursed his lips, "I'm just an ordinary person."

Look how humble he is.

Mingzhu turned sideways and hugged Jiang Duo, who was carrying luggage in both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Tui, please support me and pamper me."

Jiang Duo was amused by her naughty expression and smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll pamper you, don't be naughty."

"I'm not naughty, I'm telling the truth."

"Then what do you think of Beijing?"

Mingzhu let go of him and raised her thumb: "Well, I think Beijing is really... dazzling."

"You say you're not naughty, but you've clearly seen a better future."

Mingzhu said calmly: "But you will see such a future in the future, but if I hadn't come to this world, I would not have seen this charming old Beijing."

Jiang Duo looked at her lovingly. Fortunately, he came, otherwise her life would be destined to be lonely and old as she had once thought.

"It's cold outside, let's go home first."

Mingzhu nodded and followed Jiang Duo obediently.

It was past dinner time and it was the coldest time of winter. There were few pedestrians on the roadside or in the community.

The two entered the old alley with a strong atmosphere. On both sides of the road were traditional old-style large courtyards. Unlike the large courtyards seen in TV dramas, the courtyards here all have three or even four courtyards.

When they arrived at the second house, Jiang Duo pushed open the door of the courtyard in the southeast.

The door was not locked, so Mingzhu guessed that this courtyard should not be exclusive to Jiang Duo.

Sure enough, after entering the second courtyard, in the semi-dark sky, Mingzhu looked at the huge courtyard in front of her, which was divided into three by two crudely built walls, and only the door in the middle was locked.

Jiang Duo took out the key, opened the door, and led him directly to the main house in the main courtyard.

Turning on the light, the room was clean. Jiang Duo knew that Fang Shuyu had come to clean it.

He put the luggage in the east bedroom and told Mingzhu: "You sit for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and bring the coal stove over."

Mingzhu nodded and sat on the soft step of the main seat in the living room. Jiang Duo covered her legs with a blanket, turned around and went to the kitchen to get the coal stove to light a fire for warmth.

Watching his busy figure, Mingzhu looked around. The courtyard houses of this era still retain traces of history. Living here really gives you the feeling of the old society.

"Did the Jiang family buy this courtyard?"

"No, this is my grandfather's ancestral home. I grew up here when I was a child. Later, due to policy, it was vacated and given to people in need. This main house was also bought back by me with military merit after I joined the work."

Mingzhu asked, "Then are there many people living in this compound?"

Jiang Duo nodded, "Our compound is a three-courtyard compound. The main house belongs to us. The east and west side rooms each have a family living in them, and there are also two families living in the three courtyards at the back. The two families in the backyard are separated from us and do not share the same yard. The two families in the east and west can only see each other when they look up, which is very inconvenient. After the three families discussed, in order to give each other independent space, they built a courtyard wall in the middle."

Mingzhu did not know much about the housing allocation in the context of this era, but she vaguely knew that many houses were cleared out and redistributed according to needs in these years.

The Jiang family's background naturally meant that they could not take more than they wanted, so it was reasonable for them to hand over the house.

But after she looked around, she had an idea inexplicably in her mind: if the ugly courtyard wall was removed, the courtyard would definitely be very beautiful. She didn't want to live in this courtyard with others, she wanted to buy it back.

Not only here, but also outside...

If she wanted to get rich, when would she buy it if she didn't buy it now?

Seeing the lively light in Mingzhu's eyes almost overflowing from her eye sockets, he turned around and rubbed her head: "What are you thinking about?"

Mingzhu raised her hands to hug his waist, her chin resting on his waist and abdomen, and smiled slyly: "I'm thinking about the plan to become the richest man in the future. In the future, the house prices around here will be in the hundreds of millions, and I want to buy a few more courtyard houses."

Jiang Duo smiled gently: "Don't worry, I'll ask later if the house can be sold privately."

Mingzhu nodded. This era was still a planned economy stage. Although a small number of people privately owned bungalows and courtyards, basically no one bought and sold them.

The country did not have a special agency or policy to deal with these matters at this time. Buying a house can only be done by signing a contract. If no one comes forward, there is still a certain risk, so she is not in a hurry.

"House prices don't soar overnight. Don't be in a hurry. Just ask slowly."

The current task is to make money, make money like crazy!

First, settle the courtyard house where they live.

Jiang Duo thought she didn't like living with others, so he sat next to her: "Zhuzhu, if you think this place is too small and don't want to live here, it doesn't matter. I have another house in the military compound, but that place... is not far from my home, and I'm afraid that my family will bother you."

Mingzhu was a little surprised. She hugged his waist and rubbed her little face gently in a flattering manner: "Hey, hey, Comrade Jiang, it turns out that you are an invisible rich man. You have houses everywhere. I really have to sigh again. I really didn't recognize the real man before. I don't know if it's too late for others to hug your thick thighs now?"

Jiang Duo had taken off his coat and was only wearing a sweater that Mingzhu had knitted for him. Mingzhu was rubbing against his lower abdomen, and her hot breath flowed into his skin through the seams of the sweater, teasing his nerves.

He tightened his body and pressed Mingzhu down on the couch: "You're flirting again..."

Mingzhu raised her hands and circled his neck: "Isn't it because you can't resist flirting?"

Jiang Duo really couldn't resist flirting with her, and now he wanted to do something with her.

But thinking that she must be tired after sitting on the train all day, he just kissed her forehead lightly, his voice revealing a bit of hoarseness that he couldn't hide: "Let's go live in the compound now, it's bigger than here."
