Hearing what Shen Huaixu said, Tang Xiaorou couldn't help asking: "You have booked a restaurant, where is it?"
"This is a restaurant that serves roast duck. Let's go there now."
Tang Xiaorou was surprised when she heard this. "Besides the state-owned restaurant, there are other restaurants here. But since you mentioned roast duck, I must try it. I heard that the roast duck in Beijing is delicious."
Seeing Tang Xiaorou's expectant look, Shen Huaixu couldn't help but smile and said, "The taste is indeed good. Let's go over now. However, they opened it quietly, so we shouldn't make a big fuss."
"good."
The movement ended not long ago, and although some policies have been relaxed, everyone is still afraid, and some things must be done secretly.
After the group arrived at the restaurant, Shen Huaixu ordered two roast ducks, "It should be enough for so many of us. If it's not enough, order more."
Qin Xueqiong said quickly, "Enough, enough, Huaixu. We can't eat too much." When she found out that a roast duck cost eight yuan, she felt distressed. How could a duck be so expensive? But when she ate it, she understood, "This roast duck is so delicious. I didn't expect that I could eat it with the dough rolled up in it."
Seeing that her mother liked it, Tang Xiaorou couldn't help but said, "Mom, then you should eat more."
"You guys eat more too."
Qin Xueqiong ate several of them and gave several to Old Lady Yao as well.
"You eat it yourself. I can't eat that much." Old Madam Yao tasted it and nodded, saying, "It tastes the same as what I ate when I came to Beijing before. It makes me miss it."
Yao Bingcheng was curious when he heard this.
"Grandma, have you eaten the roast duck here before?"
"Oh, that was so many years ago. I didn't expect this roast duck restaurant is still here."
Yao Bingcheng had never heard his grandmother talk about these things before, and he was very interested in what he heard now. "Grandma, when did you come to Beijing? Was Beijing the same as it is now?"
"Of course it's different. It's changed a lot."
Old Mrs. Yao talked about her youth, then looked at Shen Huaixu and asked, "Isn't there a family with the surname Cao in the east of the city?"
Shen Huaixu thought for a moment and asked, “Is there a specific address?”
"I was in such a hurry to come and go at the beginning that I didn't pay much attention. I just remember the east of the city."
Shen Huaixu shook his head and said, "The east of the city is too general. There are many people living there. I'm not sure if there is anyone with the surname Cao there, and I'm not sure if it's the family you're looking for."
Old Madam Yao sighed and said, "Oh, it's been too long, I don't know if they still live there." Finally, she changed the subject, looked at Tang Xiaorou and asked, "Since you've passed through the capital, will you go to Huai Xu's house tomorrow?"
Shen Huaixu didn't say anything, and looked at Tang Xiaorou.
"Let's go to the courtyard first tomorrow and then go to Huai Xu's house later."
Qin Xueqiong was afraid that Shen Huaixu's mother would be unhappy with her daughter after knowing this, so she wanted to persuade her, but Old Lady Yao nodded and said, "Okay, let's settle down our place first."
Seeing that the old lady said so, Qin Xueqiong didn't say anything more.
After the meal, the group returned to the guesthouse, and the next day they went to the courtyard house where Tang Xiaorou was assigned.
“This place is too shabby.”
Yao Bingcheng looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him and felt that it was totally uninhabitable.
Even Qin Xueqiong felt that the house was a bit shabby.
"Xiao Rou, this room doesn't look very good."
However, Tang Xiaorou's face was full of joy. "This place is great. The location is great and the area is large. Even if it's shabby now, as long as we renovate it, it will become very good."
When she first saw the address of this house, she thought it was a piece of pie in the sky. Now that she saw that this courtyard also has two entrances, she felt that she had made a big profit.
Seeing his wife laughing happily, Shen Huaixu couldn't help laughing too and said, "You like this place so much."
"Yes, of course I like it."
It was only a 15-minute walk to the Forbidden City, so you could imagine how good the location was, not to mention that this was a quadrangle with two entrances, and the area was much larger than she had imagined.
Old Mrs. Yao nodded and said, "Yes, this place is really nice."
Seeing her daughter and Old Lady Yao say this, Qin Xueqiong knew that she was short-sighted.
“Because this is a good location?”
Tang Xiaorou said with a smile: "Yes, this place is very close to the Forbidden City, the location is very good, and the house area is large, it's really good."
Hearing this, Qin Xueqiong laughed and said, "That seems really good, but this house can't be lived in now, so we have to find another place during this period of time."
"Yes, it seems that we need to find another place to live."
Shen Huaixu suddenly found that he had no other place to live in the capital, and it was at this time that he realized that he should buy a house.
"Why don't you rent a house near our home first?"
Tang Xiaorou nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to your place first when the time comes."
However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. When they were about to go back, they ran into Yue Yuan at the intersection.
"Yue 땢 zhi, why are you here?"
When Qin Xueqiong looked at Yue Yuan, her face was full of surprise.
Even Yue Yuan looked at her in surprise and said, "Qin Zhizhi, this is too much. Is this where you live in the capital?"
Qin Xueqiong shook her head and said, "We don't know where to live yet. We originally wanted to live here, but Xiaorou's courtyard house is currently uninhabitable, so we plan to rent a house first."
After hearing this, Yue Yuan looked at Tang Xiaorou for a second and asked, "Is the courtyard on the east side yours?"
Tang Xiaorou nodded and said, "Yes, that courtyard is mine now. We can move in after it's renovated."
Yue Yuan's family lives here, so he knows about the courtyard house. He heard before that the courtyard house was given to someone as a reward, and he was curious about who it was given to, but he didn't expect that person to be Tang Xiaorou.
However, thinking about what Qin Xueqiong had just said, Yue Yuan suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, Qin Zhi, aren't you looking for a house? I happen to have an unused courtyard house that I can rent to you. What do you think?"
"Really?"
Qin Xueqiong's face was full of surprise. "Where is your hospital? Shall we go over and take a look?"
"Of course it's convenient. It's not far away. I'll take you there."
Tang Xiaorou thought that the courtyard house needed to be well planned, and she also thought it was nice to live here, so she turned to look at Shen Huaixu and said, "Let's go and take a look. If it's suitable, we can rent Uncle Yue's house."
