After checking in, he came to room 618. Pan Yongqiang put down his suitcase and helped open the window. He turned around and asked: "Mr. Sun, you just arrived today. Can I pick you up tonight? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll give it to you."
You lead the way."
Sun Quan casually put his computer bag on the table, smiled, and asked, "When are you going to view the house? Have you made an appointment?"
Pan Yongqiang: "We have made an appointment, tomorrow afternoon! How about we go to eat Quanjude Roast Duck tonight? Do you want to eat Quanjude Roast Duck?"
Sun Quan didn't care and nodded slightly, "Okay! Then come over tonight! By the way, will you stay in this hotel too?"
Pan Yongqiang laughed, "No, it's more expensive here. I'm staying in a smaller hotel next door, so... should I leave first? I'll pick you up in the evening?"
Sun Quan nodded, "Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"
After Pan Yongqiang left, Sun Quan opened his computer bag, took out his laptop, plugged it in, pressed the power button, then walked to the window, lit a cigarette while looking at the scenery outside the window, and dialed his wife's phone number.
I told my wife on the phone that I was safe, and casually talked about what I had experienced after getting off the plane.
By the time I finished the phone call, I had finished smoking the cigarette in my hand.
I walked back to the computer, pulled out a chapter, saved it, and posted it.
Originally, he wanted to write a chapter or two, but maybe because he had just come to the capital, he was worried. He always wanted to go out for a walk and take a look, so he couldn't concentrate on coding.
Then go out for a walk!
He closed his computer, opened his suitcase, and took out the camera he brought specially this time. It was the camera that his wife Yuan Shuiqing used to use.
Then he went out.
When he went out, he exchanged some coins with the hotel front desk. After he went out, he found a bus and slowly browsed the city. He deliberately looked for buses that were not so crowded, and then found a bus near the window.
From your seat, if you see interesting scenery or buildings outside the window, you can take a few photos.
After preparing to go home, share it with Yuan Shuiqing.
In this way, that afternoon, he changed to different buses and walked a few streets, going to the famous Flag-raising Square and the Great Wall, which almost every Chinese person wanted to see.
I saw a lot of scenery and took a lot of photos.
It wasn't until evening that he took a taxi back to the hotel.
The first thing he did when he returned to the hotel was to call Pan Yongqiang to cancel his plan to eat roast duck at Quanjude tonight.
Because while browsing the capital this afternoon, he bought some snacks that interested him from time to time, and he was already full.
I returned to the hotel, took a shower, put on my bathrobe, turned on my computer, and started video chatting with Yuan Shuiqing.
Yuan Shuiqing listened with a smile as he talked about what he had experienced during his trip this afternoon.
After listening, he said with a smile: "Then next time we come together, you can be my tour guide!"
"No problem! I happen to be here for the next few days. If I have time, I will go out and walk around a few times to try to become more familiar with this city."
The couple chatted over the video for about half an hour. After the video ended, Sun Quan looked at the photos taken today for a while, took a short break, then pulled up a blank document and prepared to code.
Many people envy the freedom of time that Internet writers have, and the freedom of where they write. It’s completely fine to write wherever and whenever they want.
At first, Sun Quan also thought this was a good career advantage.
Later I slowly realized that this may not actually be an advantage.
In other jobs, after leaving the company, you are basically free, but in his kind of job, no matter where he goes, there is no reason to be idle. Unless he wants to be lazy, he has no intention of playing at any time and anywhere.
No, on the first night when he came to the capital, he saw the computer and had the idea of coding.
sleep?
Go out and hang out?
There will be a feeling of guilt.
For the fans of "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds", today's author has kept his promise, and the update is okay. There is another chapter added today. I guess many fans think that today's Sun Quan is still at home honestly.
Codeword.
I never expected that he would come to the capital today and have already spent half a day in the capital.
…
That night, Sun Quan wrote until about 11 o'clock and went to bed. When he went to bed, he set an alarm on his mobile phone, thinking that since he was in the capital, he would go to see the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow morning.
Because he had often heard people say that they came to the capital to see the flag-raising ceremony.
The results of it?
The next morning, when the alarm on his cell phone rang, he touched it with his eyes closed and stuffed it directly under his pillow, blocking out the sound of the alarm to the point where he could continue to sleep.
When he woke up, he took out his mobile phone and saw that he was watching Mao's flag-raising ceremony. More than two hours had passed.
…
It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.
Sun Quan followed Pan Yongqiang to an old city, wandered around in the alleys, and came to the entrance of a small courtyard house.
"Mr. Sun, this is it. Please wait! I'll knock on the door..."
As Pan Yongqiang spoke, he stepped forward to knock on the door with a smile on his face, while Sun Quan curiously looked around and at the courtyard in front of him.
In fact, when he first said he wanted to buy a courtyard house in the capital, he had in mind the kind of grand palace courtyard house in the TV series, which covers an area of N acres.
But then I thought about it carefully and realized it was impossible!
Not to mention whether there are any royal courtyards for sale in the capital at present, but at the current market price, even if he is squeezed dry, he will definitely not be able to afford it.
Now it is 2010, real estate has taken wings, and housing prices are aiming to fly into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
It was too late for him to be reborn.
Maybe when he was first reborn, housing prices in the capital were still very cheap, and 2006 was not too late.
But was he rich at the time?
He only has a thousand dollars in his bank account, and his parents don't have much savings back home. How can he come to the capital to buy a palace courtyard?
But now that he is rich, housing prices in Beijing have at least doubled, or even more.
so……
Forget about the palace courtyard, there is no hope in this life, it would be nice to get a small courtyard.
While Sun Quan was looking around, the wooden door of the courtyard in front of him opened.
A woman in her fifties smiled at Pan Yongqiang who knocked on the door and said hello kindly: "Hey, Xiao Pan is here?"
Seeing Sun Quan with his hands behind his back, she looked surprised and asked: "Who is this? Xiao Pan, is this young man your boss? He is so young!"
This woman is dressed simply, has a round face, her hair is already graying, her hair is tied up in a bun, and she wears a black hairband behind her head. She has the temperament of a housewife.
Pan Yongqiang quickly stepped aside and introduced with a smile: "Yes! Yes! This is my boss, Mr. Sun! Mr. Sun! This Aunt Li is the mistress of this courtyard. By the way, Aunt Li, Uncle Bai is at home today.
?"
"Hello! Aunt Li!"
Sun Quan stepped forward and stretched out his hand with a faint smile.
Aunt Li looked at him with surprise, forced a smile, stretched out her hand to shake Sun Quan's hand, and then reached out sideways to signal, "Mr. Sun, Xiao Pan, come in quickly! Lao Bai is inside! You go first."
Come and see the house! Lao Bai! Lao Bai!!”
The last two calls she turned back to shout inside.
Sun Quan estimated that the Lao Bai she mentioned was her husband, the owner of this house.
With some curiosity and some scrutiny, Sun Quan nodded and walked inside with a smile.
Behind the door is a wall...
There are simple reliefs on the wall. What are they? Because the light at the door was a bit dark, Sun Quan couldn't see them clearly, but he felt that the reliefs were visible at the entrance, which was more stylish.
Because there was a wall when he entered the door, he could only turn left. After turning a few steps, his eyes suddenly opened up. A small courtyard with flowers, grass, trees, and a large water tank appeared in front of him.
The tree seemed to be a camphor tree, planted outside the window of the west wing. The ground was paved with old floor tiles. Under the steps of the main door, about two meters away, there was a large water tank with water lilies planted in it.
As for flowers and plants...
They are all grown in flower pots and placed around the courtyard and on the windowsill.
This yard is really not big.
It's not as big as the backyard of his hometown.
But it is kept very clean, and the decoration of flowers, trees, and water lilies makes this small yard warm and beautiful.
"Mr. Sun, please come inside! Take a look at whatever you want!!"
Aunt Li walked to Sun Shen and said polite words.
At this time, Sun Quan saw a little old man wearing a gray jacket quickly coming out of the main room. After a closer look, he found that this man was too old, probably in his fifties or sixties, but he had gray hair and was thin.
His figure made him look much older at first glance.
"Lao Bai! Lao Bai! This is Xiao Pan's boss, Mr. Sun! He is here to look at the house today!"
Aunt Li hurriedly walked over and introduced Sun Quan to this man as she passed.
After hearing this, Lao Bai quickly raised his head and looked at Sun Quan. He was probably also surprised by Sun Quan's youth. Like Aunt Li just now, Lao Bai also looked surprised, but his reaction was not slow.
He hurried forward with a warm attitude, "Welcome and welcome! Mr. Sun, right? This house was handed down from my ancestors, you can take a look at it as you like! My surname is Bai, you can just call me Lao Bai! Welcome!"
As he spoke, he quickly came to Sun Quan. Sun Quan stretched out his hand to shake his hand and asked him with a smile, "Uncle Bai, your yard is nice! Are you really planning to sell it?"
Lao Bai nodded repeatedly and sighed with a wry smile: "Yes! This yard is nice. I grew up here since I was a child. To be honest, I am reluctant to sell it!
But it won’t work if I don’t sell it! When my boy grew up, he fell in love with a girl, and now he is about to talk about marriage. The girl said that all other conditions are easy to negotiate, but there is only one requirement - to buy a commercial house.
!Hehe, Mr. Sun, you may have heard of the current housing prices in Beijing. They are so high...
The kid in my family doesn’t have much ability to buy a house by himself, so after our family discussed it, what can we do? We bought this courtyard house and bought two sets of commercial houses. The young couple will live in one, and we, the old couple, will live in one!”
He said a lot in one breath. Aunt Li became anxious, stretched out her hand to pull him away, put on a smile and said to Sun Quan: "Mr. Sun, please look at the house first! You look at it first! Let's talk about it after we finish it, okay?"
