The beige bus horn rang twice and then stopped at a simple wooden stop sign.
The surging crowd just wanted to get on the bus, but they were stunned as soon as they reached the door. There was a large navy blue baggage in front of them, which blocked the door.
Then a loud shout came from inside the bus, "Get out of the way! I can't get off my bike, and none of you can get on!"
The crowd crowded inside suddenly stopped, and an aunt shouted dissatisfied: "Why do you take the bus if you have a bicycle?"
Yi Chuanzong rolled his eyes and said, "Auntie, you put it lightly, you want me to ride back after a hundred kilometers?"
The aunt looked stunned and muttered something dissatisfied. She finally got in front. She got on the bus late and there was no seat available.
But there was a bicycle stuck, and she couldn't get on it, so she could only retreat to one side.
Only then did Yi Chuanzong push his bicycle down. On the 28th big bar was Sister Hua's luggage.
"Let's go to the hotel first. You can stay there for two days and I'll rent you a house as soon as possible."
Sister Hua nodded and whispered: "It's best to find a small yard."
Yi Chuanzong looked startled. This was not because he was afraid of life, but because Sister Hua was afraid that her physical condition would bring bad luck to her neighbors.
He couldn't help but leaned over and asked softly: "Will the people around me be unlucky? I think everyone in the village is doing well?"
Sister Hua said a little unconfidently: "I'm not sure. It's gotten a lot better since I arrived in Xiangyang Village. It was just a little weird in the first month or two, but then it was fine."
She especially likes to play with children since she found out that she was fine.
It's just that when she was in Sijiucheng, she brought bad luck to the people around her, and she still wanted to live alone in her heart.
Yi Chuanzong nodded silently. If he didn't want to live in the same courtyard with others, he would live in a separate courtyard.
Although this may be a psychological problem, it will be more convenient for Sister Hua to live in a separate courtyard for two people.
Yi Chuanzong rode his bicycle to East Chang'an Street and stopped at a Haokelai Hotel. There were relatively few hotels at this time and the decoration of the hotel was relatively old.
Just like the current Haokelai Hotel, the entire building is divided into upper and lower floors, all made of wood.
One of the floors is the lobby, which was used for eating and drinking in ancient times. The place where I live is on the second floor. Standing at the door, you can see the shiny wooden handrails on the inside. Even though it is not spray painted, it looks very smooth.
He took Sister Hua to the counter on the east side.
"Shopkeeper, stay at the hotel!"
The shopkeeper looked skinny. He looked to be in his sixties, with wrinkles on his face and gray hair.
When Yi Chuanzong came in, he was still typing the abacus with his head down and doing the calculations with his reading glasses on his eyes.
After hearing that someone was coming, he said lazily: "Letter of introduction."
Yi Chuanzong was not surprised. At this time, he needed a letter of introduction to go out, especially when he had no place to live. Without a letter of introduction, he couldn't even stay in a hotel.
He handed over the letter of introduction from the cloth bag on his chest.
Seeing something in front of him, the shopkeeper took it and looked at it, "Hua Xifeng, age twenty-three, from Xiangyang Village, unmarried?"
He raised his head when he read this. The voice just now was clearly that of a man!
His eyes glanced at Yi Chuanzong, then fixed directly on Sister Hua, frowning and asked: "What is your relationship?"
Yi Chuanzong replied in a calm voice: "Neighbor, Sister Hua used to have a city registered permanent residence, but now she wants to find a job. Isn't it written on it? You should take a look! This thing is not free!"
Tian Haiwang and Sister Hua died before they were married, and the village would not associate her household registration with a dead person.
Because she lived in Tian Haiwang's house, Sister Hua went to burn paper for Tian Haiwang, so she was called a widow.
The shopkeeper glanced at the two of them and continued to look. Then he raised his head and asked in surprise: "Are you still a college student?"
College is not that easy to get into these days. You need to take an exam to advance to primary school. It is not an exaggeration to say that college students are the only one in a million.
Sister Hua nodded slightly and said softly: "I only read it for a year and a half and I haven't finished it yet."
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "One yuan a day, how many days do you plan to stay?"
Yi Chuanzong pondered slightly, "Let's open it for two days first! If we can't find a suitable house, we can continue." He handed over two yuan.
The shopkeeper didn't respond. Instead, he took out a slip and started writing. After he finished writing, he tore it off and said, "Two pieces, Xiao Deng, bring someone up!"
A light-legged guy trotted out, holding out his hand with a smile on his face and saying, "This way, please!"
Yi Chuanzong nodded to Sister Hua, "Let's go, put your things down first, and then I'll find a house for you."
After walking up to the second floor, the store clerk opened a door in the middle and said, "Sir, this is it. I'm still boiling water in the backyard. If you need anything, you can call me."
Yi Chuanzong took a look inside. It was about thirty square meters. In front of the door was a set of square tables. To the east was a wooden bed with a curtain, and next to it was a desk. It looked similar to an ancient inn.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Seeing the waiter leave, Yi Chuanzong gently closed the door, then took out the money and tickets from his pocket. Without paying attention, he divided it into two halves and handed one half over.
"You can stay here temporarily for the next two days. You can buy these to eat. Don't be reluctant to spend them."
Sister Hua shook her head with a smile, and then lowered her head with a guilty conscience, "Actually...actually, I have money."
Yi Chuanzong was stunned for a moment, "Where can you get any money in the village? You can't exchange work points for things here, and you have to pay for meals."
Sister Hua bit her lip and looked up at him, "Actually, I still have some money, but I didn't tell you."
Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Tian Haiwang's?"
Sister Hua nodded and looked at him eagerly, seeming a little worried.
It doesn't matter if Yi Chuanzong is still a fool. She lives in someone else's house and is called a widow by people in the village. Yi Chuanzong doesn't care.
Now that Yi Chuanzong is well, she is afraid that her man will think too much about it.
Yi Chuanzong didn't care about this at all. Everyone was gone and he had occupied the wedding room.
Sister Hua just does some business with the dead, exchanging ghost coins for cash, not kneeling down to burn paper.
He asked curiously: "How much?"
Sister Hua carefully observed his expression, and after realizing that he didn't care at all, she stretched out two fingers.
Yi Chuanzong's eyes widened slightly and he whispered: "Two hundred?" Gu Lu
Sister Hua shook her head slightly and glanced at the door. Upon seeing this, Yi Chuanzong hurriedly went out and took a look. After finding that no one was there, he walked in again.
Sister Hua then leaned into his ear and said, "Two small yellow croakers."
Yi Chuanzong turned his head and looked at Sister Hua in disbelief, "Your voice is so nice, say it again!"
Sister Hua whispered again with a smile in her eyes, "They are two small yellow croakers. These were found under the floor when I was cleaning up the room. Originally there was one large yellow croaker and five small yellow croakers. I gave my uncle a big one.
I used one small yellow croaker to buy medicine, and you ate the remaining two small yellow croakers."
Yi Chuanzong's pupils grew bigger little by little, and he was immediately shocked.
Two small yellow croakers!
In fact, he is destined to find a rich woman!
This... Master didn't calculate it, did he?
Now, this is 1962, and all buses are imported. If there are imports, there will naturally be exports. The price of gold is in line with the international market.
The current price of gold is US$100 per ounce, and one ounce is a little over 31 grams. When converted into RMB, one gram of gold is worth 20 yuan.
Two small yellow croakers, is this what ordinary people can think of?
Most of the gold has been put away, so where are the big and small yellow croakers? Lou Xiao'e's family has some, and they are capitalists.
The ancestors who were high-ranking officials or wealthy gentry may have it, but ordinary people don't have this thing at all, and even rich people don't have gold.
Even further back, ordinary people still used broken silver, and what was in circulation was not gold.
A large yellow croaker weighs ten taels, but this number is based on the previous calculation. Now it is just over six taels, which is about 312 grams.
The small yellow croaker is one-tenth of the large yellow croaker and weighs 31 grams.
In the TV series, Xu Damao gave Director Li small yellow croakers, each of which cost more than 600 yuan.
Two pieces cost 1,200 yuan!
Yi Chuanzong looked at Sister Hua blankly. No wonder he was so strong. Not only did his uncle leave him money, but the work points he earned for his work were not much. The real big head was right in front of him!
That’s more than two hundred yuan for food a year!
Even if he earned work points after working for a year, plus the money left by his uncle, it would not be as much as what Sister Hua spent on him.
He eats nearly 400 yuan a year, 33 yuan a month, which is enough for the living expenses of four adults in the city. How can he not grow strong? At most, the ingredients are a bit monotonous and slightly malnourished, but he is also
Can eat enough.
At this time, he didn't starve to death despite eating so much. This is God's blessing!
Inexplicably, Yi Chuanzong felt a little dumbfounded.
Since he was able to eat extra when he was acting like a fool, he was still hungry for half a month after he recovered from his illness?
He also despises others. He deserves to suffer for this damn sense of superiority. Sometimes people's brains are not good at all.
Why do you think so much and have nothing?
Isn't it good to just enjoy life stupidly?
The more you think about whether you have gained something or not, the more trouble you will get.
Yi Chuanzong looked at the twinkling eyes in front of him. She seemed to be telling about the happy life in the past. The reminiscence in her eyes made his vision blur.
He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Isn't it hard to prepare meals for me? After all, I eat so much."
Sister Hua shook her head with a smile, and the corners of her mouth raised up as if she was snickering, "No, you are so energetic. I always command you to do what you do, but you still obey me."
Yi Chuanzong nodded. His strength really needed to be channeled. His vision gradually became clearer. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said seriously: "Why are you so lovable?"
Sister Hua smiled brightly when she heard his love words. She opened her arms around his waist and came close to her arms. Her rapid heartbeat expressed her man's love. She rubbed her head on her chest twice.
"You are my man."
Yi Chuanzong tightened his arms and crossed over from hell to heaven.
It turned out that the world could be so beautiful, which reduced the hostility in his heart a lot. He originally wanted to kill Xu Damao, but now he felt that he only needed to kill him half to death.
After a brief hug, the two slowly separated. Now they were in a hotel. Not to mention some outsiders, the people here were all public officials. He couldn't stay in the room for too long.
Sister Hua said softly: "Take these two small yellow croakers. I always feel unsafe with them. I kept hiding them in the village before. When I went to the city to change money, I only dared to come with you."
As she spoke, Sister Hua untied the opening on her chest, reached out and took out two small yellow croakers. The yellow, orange, and golden small yellow croakers were overall oval, a bit like two round handles fused together.
It was also the first time for Yi Chuanzong to see this thing. Its weight was about the same as a piece of ham, but the weight of this small yellow croaker was a bit concentrated, and it felt heavy when it was cold.
He didn't refuse and just collected it silently. It didn't matter whether it was money or not. He was afraid that if something happened to this thing, it would hurt Sister Hua. If something happened to this person, he would regret it to death.
Sister Hua just looked at him with a smile. Giving money to her man was a natural thing. She could roughly infer what he was thinking by observing Yi Chuanzong's expression. The relationship between the two was gradually recovering, which made her very happy.
.
"Take these tickets and don't skimp on eating well these two days. I might not be able to leave you at night. My uncle and aunt are very worried about me. I'm afraid I'll have to face a double court trial if I go back to report that I'm safe."
"I'm going to work tomorrow. I have to tell my master after get off work. I haven't read any medical books in the past two days and I don't know if I will be punished. I need to find you a house as soon as possible. You have to stay in this hotel for a long time. Not good."
The two of them stayed together most of the night in the village. Yi Chuanzong basically told everything about what happened after arriving in the city, and the master of this magic stick was not left behind either.
Sister Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this place. I've even brought you here. I'm planning to go around in the next two days."
She didn't know if her physique would cause trouble here, so she didn't think about visiting her uncle for a short time.
Yi Chuanzong nodded, "It's a good idea to wander around a bit and relax. This place is very close to Wangfujing. There are bookstores and a lot of snacks there. You should like it."
Sister Hua nodded with a smile.
Yi Chuanzong was a little reluctant to leave. He really didn't want to be separated from Sister Hua, but he really couldn't stay here for too long.
"I'm leaving."
When he was about to leave, his feet did not move. Instead, he tilted his head and moved his face towards her, looking longingly at the little cherry mouth.
Sister Hua understood instantly, and the smile on her face became even brighter. She held her head high and kissed his face, "Slow down on the road."
Yi Chuanzong nodded with satisfaction and reluctantly left. He was addicted again and couldn't quit.
As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw the sneaky shop assistant. This guy must have been eavesdropping here, which made Yi Chuanzongli feel scared.
After all, you still have to have a home of your own!
This is really inconvenient outside.
Yi Chuanzong didn't take care of him and walked out of the door. It seemed that he might as well not come here for the next two days. There was something wrong with this place.
But after all these years, we are still on East Chang'an Street. This place cannot be a black shop. We can live well and no one wants to find the toilet with the lights turned off. Sister Hua is safe here.
Riding his bicycle, Yi Chuanzong galloped through the street. It was not yet five o'clock, and he still had an hour to look for a house. When he returned during dinner time, the two elders at home could also be busy.
