The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

When I came to the hotel, I didn't see many people. I didn't need to think about it. I knew that this group of people must still be sleeping, so I had to go up and call by myself.

Half an hour later, five foreigners wearing hats given by Han Chunming gathered at the door of the hotel.

Han Chunming walked in front holding a small flag, full of sense of ceremony.

No one saw this form and liked it very much. They immediately felt that they were the most beautiful boys on the street!
Han Chunming also told them in advance that the purpose of doing this is to prevent them from getting lost, so that as long as they see the small flag, they can only know where he is. The same is true for wearing a hat, mainly to distinguish them.

Han Chunming doesn't know if there is such a form in other places. At this time, a letter of introduction is required when going out, and the tourism industry is still not easy to develop.

The next step is to take the five of us around in Jiacheng, various old Beijing alleys, the Temple of Heaven, parks, etc. Anyway, we limit it to two to three places a day. We can’t finish them all at once. After all, it costs more than 200 US dollars a day. !
Han Chunming took a few people to play for five days, not because he didn't want to make money, but because there was nothing fun to do. Now many places are not open to the outside world, and foreigners are not allowed to visit.

"Han, we are going back too, thank you for taking care of us these days! We had a great time!"

"I'm also very happy. When you leave, I will see you off." Han Chunming said with a smile on his face.

After all, I have made a lot of money from these people these days, so I have to do a good job in service. If these people come again next time, maybe they can find me again.

"No need, we'll leave tomorrow morning, don't bother you, by the way, this is my phone number in the United States, if you come to the United States, remember to call me, I will entertain you well."

Han Chunming took a note with the phone address on it. He already knew that these people were from New York during the chat before, but he didn't read it carefully. It's not important. The important thing is that they gave a tip!

When I was tipping myself, I really thought it was a good habit. If it happened to me, I wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t give him a change.

A total of 500 yuan was given. These people are really generous. Not only that, they also gave him a watch before leaving, and the watch is a famous brand!

It just so happens that I still lack a watch, and I haven't bought one before, but this time I saved it.

Thinking of the classmates in the dormitory, Han Chunming wondered if he should stimulate them when he went back. They didn't even do such a profitable job!
In order to complete the business of these people, Han Chunming had already asked for several days off, and the class teacher had already endured to the extreme, so it is better to stay in peace for a few days first.

When I got back to school, I first went to the head teacher to explain the situation, and showed him the watches given by the foreigners.

"Not bad. How is this job? Do you make a lot of money?"

How could Han Chunming tell the truth about this matter? He was given too much money, and he really didn't dare to tell the truth.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't tell me, my oral English has improved really fast when chatting with them."

The head teacher also smiled slightly, and then said earnestly: "Of course, you can't improve without communication, but you can't spend all your time on it, it's just a means of learning, and learning in school is the key point. "

"Teacher I know, I will try to go there during the rest time in the future, and I should go to class."

Han Chunming immediately assured that the reason why he asked for leave was because the five people gave too much. Five people, it was 250 US dollars a day. Eat or drink more than a year's salary.

If you exchange it on the black market, you can get it one to five to one to six. If you don't know the importance of education, you really have the urge to drop out of school! !
No wonder so many big names drop out of school and start their own businesses. This special code is in the spotlight. If you don’t do it, you’d be sorry for yourself!
When he walked to the door of the dormitory, he tugged on his sleeves deliberately, revealing the watch on his wrist, so he must stimulate these people.

"Hey, brothers, combine work and rest, if you go on like this, aren't you afraid that your brain will be broken?"

"Don't be noisy, why did you come back at noon today? Don't you take foreigners around?"

"What do you mean wandering around? That's tourism. They're leaving tomorrow. By the way, what do you guys think of my watch? Is it handsome?"

"Hey, I, Cao, you just bought this? Not bad, it seems that this trip has made a lot of money, what brand is this?"

"Swiss brand, they don't spend any money. Hehe, let me tell you, the money of foreigners is really easy to make. They have money, but they don't take money as money. You study hard, and I will bring it to you when you finish your studies. Go and earn dollars!"

Looking at the envious eyes of several people, Han Chunming knew that they were tempted. After all, no one is jealous of the visible benefits, and the watch on Han Chunming's hand is enough for them to envy.

The eldest, Lin Yongguo, is the oldest among them. He is already married, and his children are three years old. Usually, he is really reluctant to wear clothes. All the saved subsidies are sent to his family, so he never takes advantage of others. He is stubborn. very!
"Chunming, can you teach us in the morning?"

The boss was really moved by what Han Chunming said about earning US dollars. Their family's conditions were not good. If it wasn't for the state subsidies for college, he really didn't have the money to go.

If Han Chunming really used his spare time to earn some money as Han Chunming said, it would be of great help to him and improve their family's situation to a great extent.

But Han Chunming shook his head: "This is not very good, boss, I rented a house outside, and you all know that I will often go out to work as an interpreter in the future, and it is really inconvenient to live in a dormitory. By the way, in the morning If I have nothing to do, I will rush over here, let’s go directly to the playground to contact, and also, try to communicate in English in the dormitory in the future, don’t be embarrassed, if you don’t talk about it all the time, when will you learn it!”

Hearing that Han Chunming was going to move out, the group thought it was their problem, and finally the youngest Wang Xiaoshuai said:

"Chunming, it's because we quarreled with you in the dormitory, right? If there's anything wrong, you can just say it. There's no need to rent an apartment outside. It's a waste of money, and no one will take care of you when something happens."

"Oh, it has nothing to do with you. Let me tell you the truth. When I was at home, I lived alone. It's really not because of you. Also, in the future, I might have to leave early and return late. It will be late to come back. , if the door of the dormitory is locked, then I have no place to live."

The anger in the dormitory was a bit sluggish. Although they didn't spend much time together, the relationship between them was still very good. There was a kind of arrogance of a literati, and they also had their own moral standards. Taking advantage of others was like losing a big man.

After all, it's still thin-skinned.

…………

With the deepening of study, Han Chunming's novels are also written faster and faster. Sometimes he is very anxious, but there is no way, this matter has nothing to do with being in a hurry.

I have read a lot of novels like everyone, if you are asked to copy, you really can’t copy it, this is still in the same language, and it is more difficult to switch to English.

Now Han Chunming has moved out, and as the weather changes, the scenery in the yard is getting better and better.

Not to mention anything else, it is the walnut tree. According to the original owner, it is a ten-year-old Nanjiang stone, which was planted by his grandfather when he was young.

It's been two months since school started, and he's used to your current life. It's just that he hasn't met any big clients for the job of tour guide translation. It's just a one-and-a-half-day business, and the money he gave is not as generous as the five people last time. , but not a lot, and Han Chunming also earned more than 2000 US dollars here and there.

At noon, just after class, Han Chunming didn't go to the cafeteria, but went home directly. After all, he was not short of money now, and the food in the school cafeteria was really not very good.

Since moving, Han Chunming basically seldom eats in the school cafeteria.

"Chun... Chunming, Chun... Chunming, wait for me."

As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Taozi. How did this kid find the school?Did something happen to the restaurant?

"Taozi, why are you here? I still want to go back to you when I'm on vacation."

When I went back last Sunday, I asked Taozi to help me find a house, not to live in it myself, but mainly to store the antiques, calligraphy and paintings that I collected.

After all, the yard I rented when collecting junk was a bit shabby, and it might collapse at some point, so I was really worried about where to put the things.

"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for dinner first, and we can talk about anything after we finish eating."

Taozi didn't give up either. After all, the two have been buddies for so many years and have been together for so long. He also knows that some things are really inconvenient to say here.

"Chunming, do you still want the house?"

The two found a small restaurant, and after they came in and sat down to order, Taozi asked directly.

"Yeah, why, there is news now?"

How could it not be possible, knowing how much housing prices in Beijing will rise in the future, how many people can't afford a house here after struggling for a lifetime, and finally live their lives again, he can't wait to buy the Forbidden City.

Even without those old gadgets, he still wants to buy a house!
"There is news, no, I came here just to ask if you want it. If you want it, let's go and see, and make a decision quickly if it suits you. The owner needs money for something urgent."

After finishing the bottle of wine, the two of them stopped drinking. They both knew that they had something to do in the afternoon, and drinking too much would delay things.

"Let's go, Chun... Chunming, I'll show you right now. This house is just to the east of the Forbidden City. Standing in the courtyard, you can see the Forbidden City. In the past, even rich people like us couldn't live in it."

Taozi took Han Chunming there while saying this, and Han Chunming also knew the specific situation of the house.

Needless to say, the quality of courtyards with two entrances can be much better if you live in a dozen or so families. However, those well-preserved courtyard houses are either in the hands of the state or in the hands of big families. Sell.

"I said Taozi, there are so many people living there, isn't it just looking for trouble, we have nothing to do if they don't move out?"

Taozi smiled and said: "This...you don't have to worry about it, as long as the house becomes yours, within a month, they are guaranteed to move cleanly. I have already inquired about it. The reason why they didn’t move out was to take advantage of it, it’s okay if they are sensible, but if they don’t, just watch how I mess with them.”

After waiting for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the house that Taozi mentioned. There were two stone lions at the door, with some red spots on the door. I thought it was the house of a rich family before I came here.

The two locked their bicycles at the door and walked into the yard. In fact, it was not much different from the house in Dashilar, except that the yard was smaller.

Private construction is indispensable, the courtyard is messy, and the previous luxury can only be seen from some details.

"Taozi, do you know how much the owner of this house costs?"

Han Chunming followed Taozi around the yard, and then asked.

Although the yard is really not very good, it can be tidied up after a good cleaning. Anyway, even if you buy a good house, you have to redecorate it. It's better to buy this place, mainly because the location is good.

This is really the city center in the city center, only one wall away from the Forbidden City. If you don’t seize this opportunity, if you want to buy a house in this location in the future, you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

"The homeowner asked for [-] yuan. I heard that he is going abroad. I don't know what this person is thinking. He can't speak a foreign language, but he still wants to go abroad, and go out to be a dumb person?"

Han Chunming nodded: "The price is not bad, but does this house belong to him alone? Don't make any trouble then."

"Don't worry, Chun... Chunming, I've found out everything, he's the only one left in his house, who else can own it if it's not his. By the way, he also lives here, in the backyard. I'll take you there to meet him." , if it can be settled, maybe the price can drop even further.”

Taozi took Han Chunming to the backyard with ease, and stopped at the door of the main house in the backyard.

"Xia...Brother Xia, I'm here again. Aren't you in a hurry? Let's talk about the price this time. If it's suitable, let's settle it directly."

"Come, come, sit inside, I'll pour water for you."

Hearing Taozi's words, Xia Dahu walked out of the room and let the two of them in.

"Brother Xia, the price you mentioned last time is definitely not good. You also know that your yard has been ruined like this. We have to spend money to renovate it after buying it. Also, these people who live in this yard It's not like you don't know, they are all a bunch of hob meat."

Hearing Taozi's words, Xia Dahu shook his head helplessly:

"Hey, I know. You said how could these people do this. This house was originally rented out to them, but I couldn't get it back. The street didn't help me. I really can't help it!"

Han Chunming and the two listened to his complaints quietly, without even passing a word, and directly cut to the point.

"Brother Xia, you know the situation of the house. I'll tell you a price. If you think it's suitable, we'll settle it today. If you don't think it's suitable, just pretend I didn't say it."
