Siheyuan: The Villain's Cool Life

"Okay, you say."

"Are you free this Sunday?"

"Sunday? Nothing, what's going on?"

"Hey...that's perfect. Here are the invitations. My brother and I are getting married on Sunday. Remember to go, don't forget. By the way, don't tell anyone in the yard, so that no one will be jealous." After saying this, Xu Damao left in a hurry.

Shen He looked at the invitation in his hand.

I opened it and saw that it was indeed Lou Xiao'e.

The address is Hongbin Building near Xizhimen.

Wow, that’s really generous.

A table of food here would cost someone one or two months’ salary. I guess they’ve invited quite a few people. Wow… that’s a big deal.

If the people in this yard knew about this place, well... they would probably run over there shamelessly.

Well, ever since the beating of Jia Zhang, the compound has been very quiet, and from the outside, it looks very harmonious.

Tsk tsk...it turns out that whether the situation is chaotic or not is up to Jia Zhang.

Shen He closed the door, but before closing it, he saw a young man who nodded at Shen He. Judging from his room, he should be a newly assigned resident.

I don’t know if those beasts paid any attention to me.

"Uncle, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay. There's a neighbor getting married nearby. Let your uncle go over and do your homework."

"Ah."

Bang bang...bang bang...

Uh……

Who is this?

Before Shen He sat down, the door was knocked again.

I walked over and opened the door, "Rainwater?"

"Brother Shen He."

"You didn't go to school?"

"We're on summer vacation."

"Oh, look at my brain, the elementary school is on vacation, so you are naturally on vacation too. Um, come in quickly."

Let the rain in.

Shen He brought the rain into the renovated small classroom.

“Xiao Feng, this is your sister Yu Shui.

Yushui, this is Xiaofeng, she just graduated from elementary school."

The two are only two years apart in age. Yu Shui was born in 45 and is 16 years old this year, while Xiao Feng was born in 47 and is 14 years old this year.

"Sister Yushui, please sit down. Sister Yushui, please eat some fruit."

"Thank you, Xiaofeng."

"You two can chat, I'm going to sleep for a while."

It’s not long since I had dinner, and I’ll be really sleepy if I don’t take a nap.

Shen He went to the bedroom, lay down on the mat, pulled the blanket over his stomach, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

I slept until 4pm and felt refreshed.

The pretty girl is also on vacation, otherwise...

If we say goodbye, it will be September, so there is a month in between.

But you can go find her when you have nothing to do.

I'm afraid her family won't agree with her coming out.

After going out, Shen He felt relieved when he saw the two girls having fun.

"What are you two playing?"

"Uncle, we're playing hopscotch. Do you want to join us?"

Shen He shook his head decisively, "Let your uncle go. He's out to do something and will be back before dinner. If someone knocks on the door, don't open it. Yu Shui, you stay home and watch over him."

"Okay, Brother Shen He."

Shen He pushed the cart out from the back door.

He went out of the street and rode west.

Just now when I was going to bed, I thought about it. I haven’t been to the yard that Master Ma mentioned for a month. I wanted to see if Master Ma had any wood to pull in.

The place is not far from Baishiqiao to the west of Fuchengmen.

In later times, this place was worth every penny, but now it is in ruins.

Shen He's house is not far away on the side of the road.

When we arrived at the gate of the yard, it was locked. It seemed that Master Ma had brought in the wood.

Shen He opened the door, pushed it open and walked in.

In the yard, there is a newly built dilapidated shed.

There are dozens of pieces of wood placed underneath.

Shen He raised his hand to take them. They were all old wood.

He took out a small notebook from a crack in the bricks, on which Master Ma recorded how much wood had been brought in.

There are 83 in total. Shen He counted them in the space and found that they were correct.

The total price is 5370 yuan, and the wood is basically more than 50 yuan per piece, and some are more than 80 yuan.

These are all golden nanmu.

The money given to Master Ma has exceeded 300.

Shen He had to turn around and get it. There was a box with receipts for each piece of wood inside.

Shen He put ten thousand yuan in the box without looking.

I wrote my name on the book, thinking I had settled the account myself, and then wrote a new line for the extra 370 yuan.

The notebook was stuffed back into the gap between the bricks.

After walking around, they found Master Ma's house. Master Ma was not at home, but his little daughter was at home. Shen He left a note for her.

It was getting late, so I rode my bike towards Caishi Street.

This is the flower and tree market.

Shen He wanted to see if there were any trees.

Sure enough, there was a discovery.

An old man's stall is here.

The old man said that this tea tree seedling was separated from the roots of the eighteen tea trees in front of the emperor in Hangzhou.

This is a green tea sapling, and there is also a black tea sapling. Although they have nothing to do with Wuyishan Dahongpao, they are also tea trees there.

Whether it is or not, Shen He wants it.

The black tea saplings are not expensive, only 10 yuan, but the green tea saplings are more expensive, the old man asked for 100 yuan.

Finally, the price reached 60. Seeing that the old man stopped bargaining, Shen He bought it.

I bought two pots of tea trees for 70 yuan. This... I guess I am such a spendthrift.

I asked the old man if there were any fruit trees from the south or seedlings of those precious trees.

The old man thought about it and said, "Yaoyao, if Shen He wants it, he can do it for him, but it will be expensive."

Shen He talked about more than a dozen kinds of fruit trees in the south.

The old man blinked, touched his hand and calculated, then offered a price of 50 yuan per tree, and guaranteed that the tree would survive when it was delivered to Shen He. As for whether Shen He could keep it alive, that was Shen He's business.

Shen He asked for the old man's information. The old man's surname was Yao. His family had been in the flower and tree business for generations, and his generation was the most unsuccessful.

Then I gave him a deposit of 200 yuan, and the deal was done.

Shen He asked for two fruit trees from the south, plus some rare species.

The main reason is that I am afraid that some trees will not survive well.

Also, some trees are divided into male and female.

He didn't buy many fruit trees, but he did buy a lot of various fragrant flowers.

There will be more space for flowers in the future.

Chapter 152 Wishing Comrade Damao Many Children and Blessings

Sunday arrived in a blink of an eye.

After breakfast early that morning, Shen He tidied himself up and took a shower.

I went to the bathhouse to get a haircut yesterday afternoon.

Change into a white cotton shirt, trousers, and black leather shoes.

Just don't steal Sha Mao's limelight, hehe...
