The three-story, three-bedroom, one-living-room house is located in a newly built residential complex in the city center, which will become the second most prosperous area in Kyoto in the future.
In 1985, the builder who contracted the land at this location, covering an area of 123 square meters, was no ordinary person. The person who was finally able to buy a house and move out of the old building was no ordinary person either.
This was Bi Yue’s first feeling.
In the 1980s, most people were waiting for housing allocation from their units. Groups of people were numbered according to their seniority, and then drawn numbers. The area of the housing was also calculated based on the population.
College students like her do have a golden rice bowl that they can get as long as they finish their studies.
It sounds very glorious, but in reality it's a disaster.
Wanting to stay in a big city and not go back to your hometown is a big deal;
The second step is where and what kind of unit you will be assigned to;
The third hurdle is housing and settling down. If you don’t have money, you’ll just have to wait in line with other people.
Bi Yue, who had just planned to take advantage of the two days of relaxation after school started, rekindled her fighting spirit.
You said that she was wronged in her last life because of a shabby house. Now she has started all over again in this life. If she still feels wronged because of "money", she might as well piss and drown herself!
I have two younger brothers, don’t they have to find a partner and stay in Kyoto?
Where are your parents and relatives?
It's all money, what to do? Small-scale efforts won't work, we have to make money as quickly as possible!
…
"Sister, what are you gnashing your teeth for? What does it mean?"
Bi Yue pointed at the house: "Is it good?"
Bi Cheng had to admit that he had learned a lot!
When I moved from my mud and thatched house to the rental house, the environment always felt gray. But this house, with its large glass windows, sunny side, and white walls, made me exclaim, "It's bright!"
Just when Bi Yue was about to brag about how much money Sister Gan Ming had earned for her, Bi Cheng solemnly assured Bi Yue:
"Sister, I clean this room once a day. You can't do anything about it even if you come. It's all dirty. What a waste! Maybe this is what Brother Chu is going to use as his wedding room in the future."
Bi Yue rolled her eyes. "You underestimate the children of a famous family! Big brother, I really need to help you broaden your horizons. Don't always think about the food, clothing, and shelter you have back home."
Bi Cheng didn't take it seriously at all. His sister always accused him of being petty, but she just refused to accept the reality. She came from a small family, so why would she be so magnanimous?
Pointing to the door, he said, "Sister, military uniforms, these days military uniforms look really cool!"
The Type 85 military uniform was a new type of military uniform that was issued to the entire army in May 1985.
The hatbands on the wide-brimmed hats did not yet have distinctions according to ranks. At that time, the hatbands were all gray, and the neat military uniforms were hung on the hangers at the entrance, with the hats placed on the top of the hooks.
It was night and I was sitting in the living room without turning on the lights. I thought someone came into the door!
Bi Cheng wondered: "Didn't Brother Chu say that he couldn't come back in the next few days? Why didn't he take the military uniform with him? Hey? Sister, how many sets of clothes do they give out every year?" The man's obsession with military uniforms was churning in his heart. Bi Cheng, who didn't care about beauty, imagined how he would look like wearing it.
Bi Yue was different. She didn't have that complex, and the temptation of the uniforms couldn't attract her. She simply opened one of the bedroom doors and observed, casually replying:
"There aren't many. In case the house is unoccupied, one set is left to ward off evil spirits."
... Chu Yifeng sneezed loudly while sitting at his desk, and the ink from his pen stained the materials. It was over, he had to rewrite it, but...
I looked at my watch. Have the siblings moved in?
Chu Yifeng lightly scratched the edge of his lips with his thumb.
He deliberately left behind a set of military uniforms. He wanted Bi Yue to get used to seeing that uniform, see it often when going out and coming in, and develop a sense of familiarity from now on.
That girl is a playful one, and that is her "shortcoming".
When he is done with this busy period and appears again, he will stand in front of her in military uniform and amaze her beautiful eyes.
…
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Bi Yue and Bi Cheng finished cleaning the three-bedroom apartment and putting all their belongings in place.
The brother and sister ordered two more bowls of noodles to make up for the loss. Bi Yue told Bi Cheng, "That big room is the master bedroom. We just cleaned it. Let's not go in there again. I think there's something there."
Bi Cheng was eating noodles with tomato sauce, and his nose was covered with sweat. "Sister, why are you robbing people's things?"
Bi Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be so cautious when dealing with Big Brother Chu. He's a nice guy, but Chu Ci is a troublesome little guy. I'll go see him the day after tomorrow and bring him over, and you'll know. The Chu family is all about that troublesome mother!"
…
At the same time, Liang Xiaoxiao was in the dormitory, climbing up and down to wipe the iron bed, humming a song, thinking about the blue dress she bought for Bi Yue in the south, and the blue long skirt Bi Yue bought for her in Kyoto, feeling so warm.
This trip lasted a month, and Liang Xiaoxiao's smile suddenly faded. She sat on Bi Yue's bed, her hands folded around her knees, pretending not to hear the noisy chatter of her roommates.
After only being away from home for a month, her biological father, stepmother, and younger brother became more and more like a family, and she seemed to be redundant.
How ridiculous, it's only been a month and they've already gotten used to being without her.
In this city, apart from her uncle's house and Bi Yue's, she doesn't like to go anywhere else.
It's so boring. When will she be able to be patient and make a few thousand with Bi Yue, earn and save, and have her own home where she can hang her mother's picture...
On the last day of August in Kyoto, this bustling city was ablaze with neon lights. How many people fell asleep with unknown worries in their hearts, and how many people dreamed of having a place to stay here.
