Chapter 85 Watching a Movie and Buying a Yard (2/2)



After watching the movie, everyone sighed. Some female students with low tear points were still crying quietly. The students left the classroom in twos and threes.

Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu were discussing the plot while chatting. "Qinglu, what do you think of Hamlet's revenge and death?"

Qiao Qinglu: "Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a bird. Although Hamlet's death was a pity, he had completed his mission, exposed his uncle's conspiracy, and killed his enemy with his own hands. It can be said that he got what he wanted. What about you?"

Xiao Qinyun: "Hamlet started out innocent and an idealist. Later, bloody life forced him to face reality. He became depressed, mired in contradictions and lost, yet he had no one to confide in. He began to reflect on human nature, actively sought to break the deadlock, and prepared for revenge, but was ultimately murdered by the evildoers' schemes, which is a cause for regret and sorrow."

"Yes, he's a tragic hero. I have to say, Shakespeare portrayed both Hamlet and his uncle very well. If Hamlet is the hero, his uncle is a selfish, power-hungry villain who, at the last moment, tries to seize the throne of power. Compared to the portrayal of the male characters, the female characters are very thin and fragile. The queen is vain and shallow, and Ophelia is indecisive and indecisive. Their characters lack three-dimensionality and fullness."

"That's normal. Shakespeare lived in 16th and 17th century England, a patriarchal society where women held a low status and were not valued. He certainly didn't break through the limitations of his time. It's getting late. I'll take you back to the dorm. We'll meet at the West Gate of Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 8:30 tomorrow after breakfast."

"good."

Early on Saturday morning, after having breakfast and saying goodbye to her roommates, Qiao Qinglu rushed out of the west gate of Hua University to meet up with Xiao Qinyun.

After waiting for a few minutes, Cao Liming and Cao Yongjun came over together, and Brother Cao gave them a brief introduction to the two courtyards.

Both courtyards are registered with the Housing Management Office and have title deeds. The first courtyard is a bit dilapidated. It used to be a slum that was just reclaimed last year and is a bit messy inside. The second courtyard is well preserved, but is a bit far from the school.

After listening to the introduction, the four of them came to the first yard.

The courtyard is located to the east of Yan University and southeast of Hua University, about 2 kilometers away from Hua University and about 4 kilometers away from Yan University. It has a very good location.

After Brother Cao went forward and knocked on the door, a middle-aged man opened the door and welcomed them in.

This courtyard house has three main rooms, an ear room on each side, three east and west wing rooms, and three back rooms, totaling 342 square meters. The asking price is 2,400 yuan.

The walls, bricks, tiles and ground in the yard were all damaged. There were several earthen walls built on the open space in the middle, surrounding the stove, which looked a bit messy.

After some bargaining, Xiao Qinyun bought the house for 2,000 yuan.

Xiao Qinyun paid a deposit of 200 yuan and received the receipt written by the other party. The two of them agreed to invite a street official to come as a witness and sign the contract at 4 pm tomorrow. Everyone in the family would be present to sign and put their fingerprints on the contract. After they moved out, the four of them rushed to the second yard.

The second courtyard is located in the northeast of Yan University and Hua University, about 3 kilometers away from Hua and about 5.5 kilometers away from Yan. This house is also a quadrangle courtyard. An old man welcomed them in.

This courtyard house has three main rooms, half an ear room on each side, three rooms each in the east and west wing rooms, and three rooms in the back house, totaling 266 square meters, and the asking price is 2,200 yuan.

The yard is well preserved and rarely damaged. There are several pomegranate trees planted in the open space in the middle, and there is also a large vat, which looks pretty good.

After some bargaining, Xiao Qinyun bought the house for 1,880 yuan.

Just like before, Xiao Qinyun paid a deposit of 200 yuan, received the receipt, and made an appointment to have a street lady come over to witness the signing of the contract at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. All the people in the family were present to sign and put their fingerprints on the contract, and then the house was purchased.

Things were finally done, and it was already 9:30. Today was a bit rushed, so Xiao Qinyun and the others couldn't prepare gifts, so they took out two red envelopes and handed them to the Cao brothers.

The two did not refuse and made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and then the four of them went their separate ways.

Xiao Qinyun took Qiao Qinglu back home. The five-member family shared interesting stories of the week, and the weekend passed quickly.

On Sunday afternoon, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu successfully signed contracts with the two families, put a new lock on the yard, and gave candies and snacks to the uncles and aunties on the street. Then the four of them left the yard.

It was dinner time, so the four of them went to a state-owned restaurant and ordered a plate of fried chicken, a plate of soft-fried prawns, a plate of moo shu pork, a vegetarian dish, and eight steamed buns. After that, they had a hearty meal.

After dinner, the Cao brothers said goodbye to them, and Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu slowly pushed the cart back to Yan University.

After snuggling together for a long time by the lake, the bell for the study room rang and the two reluctantly parted ways.
