The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 292 Skating

In the next few days, Chen Jisheng started absenteeism again.

First, I finalized a few houses in Houhai with Aunt Wang, and then asked Lao Liu from the construction office to do some simple repairs.

The sledge he got from Lao Ma was also left at Houhai's house, and Lao Liu was asked to improve it according to his own ideas.

There are certainly benefits to being protected in the courtyard, but for Chen Jisheng, it is not all benefits.

Some interpersonal interactions are obviously traceable under protection.

The yard of the scrapyard will soon be returned to the rolling mill.

On the steel rolling mill side, it is best to distinguish between public and private matters.

The house in Shibei Hutong in Houhai became the best meeting place.

After letting Lao Liu repair it, it can also be used as a temporary residence.

Fortunately, the protection personnel would not enter the house to check, otherwise Zhou Baishan's matter would not be explained clearly.

In the past few days, Chen Jisheng and Lao Ma found a new warehouse near the scrapyard.

This is a warehouse built on the original ring line. Because the trains changed lanes, there are many idle warehouses near the scrapyard.

With Lao Ma, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative in Dongcheng, he could borrow several idle warehouses for a year and a half just by opening his mouth.

The yard that was originally intended to be returned to the steel rolling mill was borrowed by Lao Ma for a period of time through Lao Fan's relationship.

According to Lao Ma, this location is good. If you use it occasionally, it can be regarded as a cover.

In the past few days, the little ones at home have also started their winter vacation, and the public ice rinks in Houhai are also opening one after another.

Taking advantage of a Sunday, Chen Jisheng drove a few girls and went straight to Houhai's yard.

The courtyard on the Houhai side is also a quadrangle, but it is relatively recent and should have been imitated during the Republic of China.

Many of the decorations inside are a combination of Chinese and Western styles. It is also very close to Houhai. It should have been a separate courtyard for powerful and wealthy businessmen in those days.

Silly Zhu and Chen Xiaobao came here on bicycles. If they left early, they would naturally come early.

Silly Zhu and several young men from Nanluo Brigade could not suppress the excitement in their eyes.

If Chen Jisheng hadn't come, these guys would have entered the ice rink long ago.

At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the ice surface reflects the red light of the rising sun. To others, it is a beautiful sight.

But in the eyes of Chen Jisheng, who was worried, it looked like the blood of the future.

"Go inside and pick out your own skates. Once you've chosen them, they're yours."

For skates, Lao Ma chooses the best. Because of the difference in shoe size, the skates are also divided into several grades.

Lao Ma roughly said that the average pair costs more than 20, and the good ones are around [-].

In Chen Jisheng's eyes, this is nothing, but to Shazhu and others, it is just a month's worth of chewing, which is considered a heavy gift.

"Man, Brother Chen is bleeding.

After you get the skates, don't just play around. Your sister-in-law will take care of you for a while. "

After choosing a pair of imported black skates, Shazhu was not idle.

The smile on his face that he had in the courtyard was gone. Just like when he was leading his disciples in the cafeteria, he gave instructions to the members of the Nanluo brigade with a dignified look on his face.

Everyone who benefited naturally expressed their gratitude without hesitation.

Silly Zhu's words also came to mind, because Chen Jisheng emphasized that he should not be called Hei Ye.

Otherwise, the name of Nan Luo Hei, the King of Hell, would be shouted loudly on the streets.

Although he calls Chen Brother on the surface, many people in the Nanluo Brigade, including the joint defense team, are still used to calling Chen Jisheng "Hei Ye" in private.

"You play your game, I just watch it.

But after all the fun, don't go out and find trouble.

Also, don’t let those who are short-sighted be spoiled. As long as you are reasonable, you will beat me to death!

If something goes wrong, I'll take care of it.

Hurry up and go, I will support you with at least [-] yuan in settlement expenses. "

In addition to leisure, Chen Jisheng has other purposes for coming to the ice rink to skate.

The ice rink is a hodgepodge, and the name of the Nanluo team is not famous enough.

You have to get a little blood from those with no eyes to make a name for yourself, right?
During this period of time, Chen Jisheng wants to build the Nanluo Brigade into one, and the gangsters on the street will talk about the two groups fighting each other.

As for those unlucky ones who were used as stepping stones, it would be fine to be honest.

Chen Jisheng would not let the Nanluo Brigade cause trouble, but if it was provoked, life and death would be a fine line.

"Jisheng, what are you talking about?

There are also rules for things on the street.

He Yuzhu, if you encounter anyone looking for trouble, you can beat him.

But you are not allowed to do anything about this guy. You can break it, but you can't kill it directly. "

The eldest sister is very clear about the rules of the children.

Gu Yizhou was even more aware of the ruthlessness of his little heartless man.

He said he was going to kill him, but he really had the intention of killing people. The only people who hang out in the ice rink are the gangsters on the street.

There are also many disciples in the big courtyard, and compared to the gangsters, the younger ones are even more arrogant.

Moreover, they also drew up territory. According to Zhao Yizhou's impression, the Houhai area was probably the territory of the two institutes.

If you really want to kill your son, the matter is also a big deal.

The man of the Chen family had a disagreement with the woman in charge. Silly Zhu blinked and took a look, decisively choosing the eldest sister's position.

The Black King of Hell is merciless, but in a fight on the street, when the score is less than [-] points, he really can't kill him.

Some rules still have to be followed.

"Brother, look..."

The eldest sister opened her mouth, and Chen Jisheng naturally wanted to save face.

I got half a truckload of skates from Lao Ma. There will be more opportunities for quarrels in the future, not at this moment.

"What a fart!

As the eldest sister said, just do as the eldest sister said and go play..."

After giving the eldest sister enough face and dismissing the young men from the Nanluo Brigade, Chen Jisheng entered the house with his family.He asked Yi Xiaoqing and Chen Xiaobao to light a fire and boil water, and took out the compact cotton clothes they had prepared.

Chen Jisheng then started walking around in the yard.

The house in Houhai is not too big, it only has three entrances, and the front yard also has inverted seats.

As long as the conditions are similar to the courtyard houses, most of them will have to take down seats.

Of course, those with higher levels are a different matter.

The anti-theft level of the inverted seat is slightly higher than that of the courtyard wall. The top of the wall is easy to climb, but the inverted seat is difficult to climb.

Chen Jisheng believed that this house was a replica of the Republic of China, except for some decorations that combined Chinese and Western styles.

The inverted seats and wing rooms surrounding it are also different from ordinary courtyard houses.

In the outer circle of houses, Chen Jisheng guessed that at that time, they were mostly built for privacy, not to have more rooms.

When you first enter the courtyard, it is not the usual east-west compartment. In addition to the reverse seats around it, there is also a row of main rooms.

The function of the main room is also very simple. In addition to the Chinese-style living room in the main hall, there is also a Western-style living room in the east room.

The west room is a small study and a living room. Chen Jisheng estimated that the first owner of this yard was probably a government official or businessman.

This is also one of the few houses that Chen Jisheng bought with original furniture.

There are moon gates on both sides of the main house. The so-called three-entry courtyard, in Chen Jisheng's opinion, means two entrances.

The main house of the second courtyard is the place to live, and the house of the third courtyard is not considered the main house, which is similar to the regulation of the inverted seat.

The houses around the yard are a little narrower than the ordinary main house, and many of them are made into guest rooms.

The kitchen is in the main house of the third courtyard. In terms of general layout, this house is a bit nondescript compared to ordinary courtyard houses.

But in terms of function, it is better than an ordinary courtyard house. Not only does it have a living room, a guest room, and a kitchen, but each courtyard has a separate bathroom.

The nature of the courtyard is also reflected in these designs.

Before Chen Jisheng could finish walking around the yard, the eldest sister Gu Yizhou walked slowly to his side.

"Jisheng, it's better not to do some things.

On an occasion like today, the ice rink is indispensable for young people looking for trouble.

A deadly attack means a deadly feud, which will be difficult to resolve in the future.

This courtyard was chosen well. Is it because Xiao Feng and the others want to use this place as their base? "

I turned around and looked at the eldest sister who was teaching me earnestly. She was wearing a 55-style winter coat.

He was wearing a sheepskin coat, and his feet were high-cold shoes with iron paws.

This outfit, even if it is a retired Type 55, you may not be able to buy it if you have money.

To get these clothes, Chen Jisheng did not follow Lao Zhong's method, but asked Lao Ma to get them.

Lao Zhong is different from Lao Ma. Although he often takes advantage of Chen Jisheng, he also deeply hates the government's excessive eating and taking.

His son's livelihood also has to be solved through family friends like the Chen family. There is no exchange of benefits, but more of a stubborn attitude.

As for being Lao Ma's backer, it is not because of Chen Jisheng's personal favor, but because there is a gap in the supplies sent to the northwest.

We had to make unplanned deployments. Although the General Logistics Department said it was a big family and a big business, it also cost a lot of money.

The unplanned funds from Lao Zhong, to put it bluntly, were at the price given by Hu Shengli.

No matter whether it is on the black market or the pigeon market, you can't buy a single hair.

Protecting Lao Ma does not mean Lao Zhong is lawless.

The black market and pigeon market that have existed for many years may not be the result of some of the above control measures.

Based on the current mass base, let alone the pigeon market, it is a more secretive black market.

As long as you trade, organizations like the Littlefoot Detective Team can give you points in minutes.

There is more than one public force protecting people like Lao Ma.

But they also have prerequisites. They will definitely protect it before something happens. Once something happens, they will be the ones who step on it a few times.

The life and death of Lao Ma and the others, since participating in the pigeon market transaction, is not in anyone's plan, and it all depends on luck.

Chen Jisheng disagreed with the eldest sister's statement, and the reason why he persuaded the eldest sister was because of his outfit.

“Sister, what you are wearing cannot be bought for 200 yuan.

Based on the minimum living standard of the Forty-Nine Cities, five yuan per person is almost enough for two years of living expenses.

How do we get money?

Even though he said he didn't steal or rob, he didn't do it in a serious way.

Violation of law and discipline is inevitable. According to the number, you and I should be armed with heavy machine guns and strapped ammunition.

The house we are based on is not a bargain, it is a property in the hands of the street.

The money that has not been distributed since the collection was 500 yuan, which can almost buy two old houses of the Qin family in Sesame Hutong.

One thousand and five years, silly Zhu has been working for nothing for more than three years.

With your salary, it would take two years without food or water.

The Qin family's old house, my sister's house, Beizi Mansion, Gu Lei and Gu Ting's house.

There may be seven or eight houses here in Houhai.

It cost me [-] yuan in advance, and yesterday I gave Aunt Wang [-] yuan, as well as the jeep in the yard.

Which of these can be earned through wages? "

Forty to fifty thousand, a salary that many people would never earn in a lifetime, did not surprise Gu Yizhou.

She just glanced at her outfit casually. When the old man was around, she didn't have to worry about this at all.

"Do we have to add our family's food?

Not to mention white rice and noodles, canned beef, both children at home are tired of it.

He Yuzhu has to cook a banquet from time to time. The food expenses for our family are not enough for a department-level salary, right?
If you have something to say, just say it. We don't have to hide it. I know you are thinking deeply. You can tell me and I will listen. "

Although he didn't know what his little heartless man was planning, Gu Yizhou still answered the words with dignity.

This is also what Chen Jisheng likes about his eldest sister, Gu Yizhou, who is very grand in terms of high-level thinking.
