Master Jiang couldn't resist. "Alright, alright, I know you're rich, so I'm going to be forced to 'eat the rich man's house. By the way, I heard the factory took back your brother-in-law's house?"
Xiao Qinyun looked at this gossipy master with a look of "Tell me quickly" written on his face, and felt really worried.
"Well, the factory paid 400 yuan to take the house back. But my brother-in-law bought a house with two courtyards, so he has a place to stay."
Master Jiang was really surprised this time. That idiot had bought a second courtyard, but his family was still living in the slum.
Suddenly, Master Jiang's mind became active. "Disciple, how much is your brother-in-law's yard worth? Do you have any news about the yard? Master's house is not spacious enough."
Xiao Qinyun really had no news about the courtyard. After all, he already had four courtyard houses under his name. Qiao Qinglu didn't want to buy any more, so she didn't ask much.
"Master, my brother-in-law offered 3,000 yuan for a two-story house, but it was finally sold for 1,850 yuan. If you're interested in buying a house, I'll help you find out. But you have to tell me what kind of house you want: one with one, two, or three? And do you have any requirements for the location?"
When Master Jiang heard that Brother Qiao's yard had been bargained down from 3,000 yuan to 1,850 yuan, he was completely stunned. After Xiao Qinyun finished speaking, he only replied woodenly: "Who bargained down the price to that level? Didn't the landlord chase him and beat him up?"
Xiao Qinyun shouted helplessly, "Master."
Master Jiang came back to his senses and said, "Oh, it would be best to have a second courtyard. The first one is a bit small. It just needs to be in a place that's not too remote."
Xiao Qinyun was looking for a yard for Master Jiang. Many scholars and professors who had returned in recent years were selling yards, but most of them were large and slum-like, which was quite difficult to find. It took a while for him to find a good yard. Brother Qiao sold his job to Director Zheng of the Sales Department for 1,000 yuan.
Before Xiao Qinyun found a suitable yard, he had to send steamed buns, bean buns and glutinous rice balls to the nursery. Xiao Qinyun had informed the factory that although he and Brother Qiao no longer worked there, the children could still go to the factory's nursery.
The three children have good language, logical thinking and self-care abilities, so they fit in well in the nursery. Doubao quickly became the leader of the children, while Mantou and Tangyuan listened to the lessons quietly and were regarded as good children by the teachers.
Now, they get up at 6 o'clock every morning, run for 15 minutes, rest for 10 minutes, do morning exercises in the exercise room for half an hour, rest and have breakfast, and then Master Shen and Master Yu take them to the nursery to start a day of study.
In less than three days, the triplets adapted to this kind of life. Doubao liked going to kindergarten the most. It was so cool to be the leader of the kids. Mantou and Tangyuan brought their own books to kindergarten. The kids there were too noisy, so they liked to stay in a quiet corner and read quietly. If they didn’t understand, they would ask the teacher.
Next, the day for Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu to start school arrived.
In the past few days, Qiao Qinglu has basically packed the things they need to bring. She didn't bring many sets of clothes, since they would come back every week anyway. She folded the clothes between the sheets and quilts, then folded the quilts into four piles. She used the thin backpack rope to thread three horizontally and two vertically and tied a knot like the army did, and the quilt was ready.
Thermos, enamel pot, aluminum lunch box, flashlight, clothes hanger, toilet paper are placed in one enamel basin, slippers, socks, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel and other toiletries are placed in another enamel basin, and a net bag is placed outside.
Finally, put some small items in the military green shoulder bag, such as locks, needles and thread, thin wire, comb, mirror, notebook, pen, ink, etc., and bring a military water bottle.
On the first day of school, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu said goodbye to the triplets and planned to send Qiao Qinglu to school first before coming back to pack their things.
So, Xiao Qinyun tied Qiao Qinglu's bedding to the back seat of the bicycle, hung the enamel basin on the handlebars, and Qiao Qinglu slung over her shoulder bag and military water bottle. Then the two of them rode their bicycles to Yenching University.
Arriving at the university gate, there was a row of senior students in front of them welcoming them. When they saw the two of them approaching, they greeted them with a smile, "Classmates, which department are you from?"
Qiao Qinglu parked the car by the side of the road, walked forward and spoke politely.
"Hello, seniors. I'm a student in the Spanish Department. Where can I register?"
A baby-faced young lady with ponytail braids raised her hand and said, "Junior sister, fill out the form here."
Qiao Qinglu nodded, ran across the street, submitted her admission letter, and successfully completed all the registration procedures with the help of her senior sister. After receiving her student ID, the senior sister enthusiastically asked if she needed a guide to get textbooks, bedding, buy meal tickets, and find a dormitory.
Qiao Qinglu waved her hand to refuse, asked her senior sister the locations of these places, took a pen and wrote them down in her notebook, then said goodbye to the young lady.
She and Xiao Qinyun first went to the teaching building to pick up books. Fortunately, they brought a net bag with them, so they put the books in it and hung it on the handlebars. Then they went to the cafeteria to buy some meal tickets and vegetable tickets. Finally, the two of them went to the dormitory to pick up bedding, and pushed the cart to the door of the 7th girls' dormitory.
The old lady downstairs saw them carrying so many bags and let them go upstairs without saying anything.
