After walking out of the train station, Sanya looked outside with her eyes wide open and said, "Sister, there are so many cars here!"
Sankui seemed to have discovered a new world, pointing to Volga not far away and said: "Sister, are there two cars there?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Sijiucheng is our capital. There are many small cars. You will see them often in the future."
Sankui scratched his head in embarrassment.
The last time he came back from Hong Kong City, Pei Yue sent a telegram to someone to pick him up due to special circumstances, but he didn't do it this time. So the four of them took the bus to Sanyanjing Hutong.
Walking to the door, Sanya couldn't help but feel a little worried when she looked at the vermilion door. This house was too big, how much rent would it cost? When she walked inside and looked at the large courtyard and many rooms, she turned around with her bag in hand.
He said to Tian Shao: "Sister, living in such a big house requires less rent. It's such a waste. Just rent two small houses."
Tian Shao laughed and said, "Don't waste it. This is the house that Pei Yue and I bought. There is no rent."
Only Uncle Li and Tian Dalin knew about her buying a house in Sijiucheng. No one else, including Li Guihua and her aunt, knew about it. It was not that she deliberately hid it, but because she knew that the two of them could not keep a secret. Tian Shao felt that he had already
This is eye-catching enough, I don’t want to cause any more trouble.
Such a big house belonged to her eldest sister, Sanya felt like she was hallucinating.
Sangui was also in disbelief. He turned to look at Pei Yue and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you really buy this house with my sister?"
I originally thought that my sister-in-law's new house was already very big, but I didn't expect that the one here was not only big but also grand. Well, he was wrong. There is no comparison between the two houses.
Thinking of this, Sankui couldn't help but ask: "Sister, how much did this house cost?"
Tian Shao said: "Including decoration, it cost almost 7,000. However, this house will last a lifetime, so it is worth spending more."
Her house now costs 7,000 yuan, but it has increased 10,000 times after more than 30 years. The family's house cost 1,900 yuan from construction to decoration and furniture, but it is worthless after more than 30 years. But after building it at home,
Houses are the obsession of the older generation, which is why Tian Shao is willing to give money to build a house.
Sankui was so frightened that his legs were weak. Seven thousand yuan. Their whole family had not saved so much money after working for 20 years!
Sanya was also in a daze. Because Tian Shao was responsible for most of the family's expenses, Sanya felt very guilty, so she always wanted to make more clothes and make more money to help share some of the expenses. But now she knew that her sister earned far more.
Much more than she knew.
After struggling for a while, Sanya said: "Sister, what do you do to make so much money?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "I have written two books recently, which have sold well and made a lot of money. Sanya, when I get out of Yuanxiao, I will go to Master Yang to learn the craft. Don't worry about the rest."
Yu Xiaochun and Uncle Zhao also helped to inquire about two of them, but Tian Shao was not satisfied with their works. It was Xu Kun who helped inquire about Master Yang. After seeing a dough fan she embroidered, Tian Shao came to visit her.
As Tian Shao told Li Guihua, Master Yang was a master of embroidery, and her aunt was an embroiderer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty.
Master Yang was originally unwilling to accept a disciple, but Tian Shao said that as long as she was willing to teach, he would give her a tuition fee of 600 yuan a year and pay it all in one lump sum. It happened that Master Yang was worried about the betrothal gift for his youngest son, and he really didn’t have any problem.
If I refuse, I agree to teach for one year, but only if Sanya really has this talent. If she didn't have it, she wouldn't teach.
Sanya nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations."
She knew that Tian Shao must have spent a lot of money to learn embroidery from Master Yang. If she didn't study hard, she would not be able to afford the tuition fees.
Sankui heard this and asked hurriedly: "Cousin, what about me, what should I do?"
"You, collect the rags."
Sankui thought she was joking and said: "Okay, sister, if you let me be the rags, then I will collect the rags."
Tian Shao really intends to let Sankui follow Xu Kun to collect rags. Don't underestimate this line of work. Not only can you practice your eyesight and communication skills, but you can also quickly become familiar with the Forty-Nine City. Sankui is too comfortable in Yongning County.
, Tian Shao hopes that he can get in touch with more people and things, increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons. When he grows up, he can also become his arm.
Pei Yue carried Tian Shao's things into her room. When he saw the three people still talking in the yard, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Go back to the house and rest first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."
Tian Shao nodded and said to the two of them: "I live in the main house, and the second room on the left belongs to Pei Yue. You can choose any other rooms you want."
Pei Yue would occasionally stay here, but he would always come here when Tian Shao lived on campus. If Tian Shao lived here, he would have to go back to the attached building at night, so some people teased him that he had to live in a birdcage because he left the big house unoccupied.
Tian Shao loves to be clean. After putting down her things, she went to the kitchen to boil water and then washed from head to toe. After washing, she went into the house and got a hair dryer to dry her hair. She brought this hair dryer back from Hong Kong City, which solved the problem of washing and drying her hair at night.
Already.
Sanya touched Tian Shao's dried hair and asked in disbelief: "Sister, what is this? How come your hair is dry after just blowing it for a while?"
The principle of the hair dryer is very simple, Tian Shao explained it to her in detail.
Sanya's eyes widened when she heard this: "Sister, is this thing expensive?"
Tian Shao was helpless, why did this child always talk about money? Thinking about the past days, she understood: "A hair dryer like this can be used for more than ten years, it is very cost-effective."
Even if it can be used for ten years, Sanya still feels it is a waste, but she didn't buy this thing and there is no room for it.
Sanya finished washing her clothes and was going to hang them on the long pole in the corridor.
Because the sun was still hanging in the sky, Tian Shao didn't stop him. He just reminded: "Sanya, take your clothes to the room before dark. You must remember, otherwise the clothes will freeze after a night."
The temperature is very low at night, and things left outside tend to freeze.
"good."
Uncle Zhao went back to the village, and several of them were too tired to cook after riding the train for several days. After resting, Tian Shao and Pei Yue took Sankui and Sanya to eat hotpot mutton.
On the way there, Tian Shao asked: "Didn't you say before that the chefs at Yuhuatai and Cuihualou are among the best in the country? When are we going to eat at those two places?"
Pei Yue said with a smile: "I have to ask you this, when will you have time to go to Yuhua Terrace or Cuihua Building with me for dinner?"
Tian Shao muttered to himself, as if you were free: "Will they close on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? If not, let's go there for dinner."
"I remember that Yuhuatai seems to be on holiday in the afternoon during the Lantern Festival. Let's go there to eat at noon."
"Okay, let's go there at noon on the Lantern Festival."
After dinner, Tian Shao, Pei Yue, Sanya and Sankui went shopping in Dashilan and Daqianmen Street. As they walked and looked around, they felt that their eyes were not full.
