Yu Tian hired a man-pulled cart and took ten rice cookers to the university town near Panpan Electrical Appliance Factory.
In the 1980s, life on university campuses was very relaxed. Students were waiting to be assigned jobs after graduation and earn a solid job. There was not much pressure.
Not long after he walked out, Liu Lihong caught up with him again.
She jogged a few steps to stop the car and said breathlessly, "Didn't you say you were going to see the courtyard house today? I'll accompany you. I still have nothing to do today."
Lin Hao followed closely behind.
After the car stopped, he said breathlessly, "Xiao Hong, you can't stay away from work all the time. Although your job is a casual job, if your father knows about it, he will definitely blame you."
"you go!"
Liu Lihong was a little sulky, pointed to the door of the electrical appliance factory and said to Lin Hao, "Lin Hao, let me make it clear to you. You don't have to worry about my affairs. You pester me every day, which is more annoying than my dad. Hurry up and go back to fuck you."
Go to your class, otherwise I will tell my dad and let him take care of you!"
Lin Hao didn't dare not listen and felt extremely uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath, sighed, and looked at Yu Tian, "Brother, I don't care what you do, but you must ensure Xiaohong's safety! If you dare to touch her even a finger, I tell you, I.
..I’m not fucking done with you!”
Yu Tian dismissed it.
He didn't intend to touch it either.
Besides, this was all requested by Liu Lihong. What does it have to do with him?
Without saying anything, he raised his hand and motioned for Liu Lihong to get on the rickshaw.
The two left in the car, leaving Lin Hao standing there with a displeased face.
Three hours later.
Yu Tian had already walked around the surrounding university towns.
At seven or eight universities, he left one or two rice cookers as gifts in each guard room.
The best way to open up connections is to give gifts and spend money to provide benefits.
This way.
He easily obtained the "admission tickets" to these universities. For at least ten days and a half, no one would let him in or out.
"You are offering a bribe."
Liu Lihong said while resting at the door.
"Not really."
Yu Tian took a sip of soda and said, "Where did this go? If a rice cooker can be considered a bribe, what does the large capital flow of millions and tens of millions count?"
He didn't want to talk too much about the collusion between government and businessmen.
Liu Lihong would not understand the interests and concerns mixed in it even if she could tell them.
"Go and see the house now?"
Liu Lihong bought two more bottles of soda for Yu Tian.
"No."
Yu Tian shook his head and said seriously, "I have something going on in my hometown. An urgent telegram came last night. I have to go back today. I won't be back until at least some time. I'll take a look at it then."
"ah?"
Liu Lihong was stunned.
You were talking very well before coming here just now, why do you want to go back suddenly?
She still wanted to ask questions.
But Yu Tian had already stopped another rickshaw and said he was going to the train station.
"I send you!"
Liu Lihong followed closely behind.
Yu Tian agreed, and the two of them headed to the train station at the same time.
Buy a ticket and get on the bus, everything is business as usual.
It wasn't until the train roared and slowly left that Liu Lihong believed that Yu Tian was really leaving this time.
"Call me next time!"
She stood on the platform and shouted.
"knew."
Yu Tian waved his hand, "I will definitely come to the electrical appliance factory to find you next time, but I don't know when that will be, so don't wait for me."
The vehicle exits the platform.
Liu Lihong left lonely.
She has a lot of affection for Yu Tian in her heart, but at the same time she is very conflicted.
"He is a married man... What am I thinking about..."
...
Half an hour later.
Another train pulled into Jingcheng Station.
Yu Tian's figure appeared on the platform again.
He first looked left and right.
After confirming that Liu Lihong was not there, she cautiously left the station, found a rickshaw, and headed straight to the entrances of major alleys near the Forbidden City.
This is also a helpless move.
Yu Tian did this, firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly to avoid trouble.
After all, Lin Hao is Lin Changshui's nephew. He is worried that Lin Hao will say something and make Li Wanrou worried.
Although Liu Lihong is good-looking, youthful and beautiful, and her father is the director of an electrical appliance factory.
But Yu Tian couldn't hold anyone in his heart, even if it was the most noble woman in the world, he would never have the slightest thought.
The rickshaw soon arrived near the alley entrance.
There are many small alleys in a large circle around the Forbidden City.
In the alley.
There are many spacious courtyard houses that have been well preserved for a long time.
He walked slowly in the alley, looking at each house. Unfortunately, there were not many people selling information.
"Brother, let's find out."
Yu Tian asked a Beijing resident who was enjoying the cool air at the entrance of an alley with a fan covering his face and asked, "Is there anyone selling courtyard houses near here?"
"Hey."
The old Beijing man opened his fan and said, "Look for the courtyard house. Just look for me. Do you know who I am? I'm the little know-it-all around here!"
"Yeah?"
Yu Tian politely handed over a Chinese stick, "Brother, tell me who sells it and how much does it cost?"
"Mrs. Sun is selling it."
The man pointed randomly in the distance and said vaguely, "Two miles away, their small courtyard is so clean. The old lady lives alone, and the whole courtyard is sold, and the price is not expensive.
It would be a lot cheaper if I went to intercede. Hey, I want to show you the way, but my stomach is growling. No, no, no, I have to get some food. Please wait.
Wait here until we meet again."
interesting.
If you want someone to treat you to dinner, you still have to say a lot of words.
Yu Tian smiled secretly.
He quickly stopped him and said, "I'm hungry too. I'm going to treat you. How about we eat and talk at the same time."
"Okay!"
The man smiled with satisfaction and said, "Young man, you are sensible. I am willing to work with a smart person like you. Let's go. Today, my brother will tell you the stories of our courtyard house in Beijing. There are many!"
He introduced himself.
Yu Tian just learned that this person's name was Gao Zhiyuan, he was an authentic Beijing native, he was thirty-two years old, not yet married, and his family was all authentic, especially authentic.
We found an old restaurant and the two of us sat down.
Gao Zhiyuan got a bunch of famous snacks and introduced them while eating them with his mouth wide open.
After chatting for a while, the two got to the point.
Gao Zhiyuan took a few bites of fried liver and said, "If we have nothing to do in the evening, let's go to Fengqing Steamed Bun Shop. The steamed buns there are each thin and filled with twenty-eight pleats. It happens that Mrs. Sun's house is not far from there. Look.
We'll go there after we finish the house, and then we'll discuss how to negotiate the price!"
It is best to choose a suitable courtyard house.
Even though they are all courtyard houses, each one has its own merits. Some have bad feng shui, and some are in remote locations close to public toilets. There are many considerations in this.
Yu Tian just wanted to answer.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of people suddenly burst into the doorway.
The group of boys looked around and saw Gao Zhiyuan sitting there, and hurriedly rushed forward.
"Here, fuck him. If you dare to tease Brother Biao, you will die!"
The curses continued.
Gao Zhiyuan could see clearly and his movements were quite quick. He picked up the stool and threw it away, taking advantage of the chaos and running away through the back door.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that he could not catch up with Gao Zhiyuan, a strong man at the head of the group returned to Yu Tian and shouted in a low voice.
