"Don't you know that the national flag rises simultaneously with the sun?" Zhou Ya smacked his lips, "The sun has risen from the horizon now!"
I didn't see the flag-raising ceremony, but a pure breakfast in the old capital was enough to dispel some of Li Jinling's expectations for the capital.
After eating Jiaohuan and drinking bean juice, I still have to experience the traffic jam in a big capital when going to work.
First blockage.
Everyone now has a general understanding of the extent of traffic jams in the capital.
"Sister Shu, are the traffic jams here in the capital always like this?" Li Jinling crossed her legs and looked at the crawling vehicles outside the window contentedly.
"Last year there was a traffic jam on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway, so a group of us went to the expressway and sold box lunches for five or six days..."
Qin Ruoshu didn't tell everyone that during that traffic jam, after excluding workers' wages, costs and sharing, the young couple earned more than 100 W in tears.
It was not until 7:40 that the dense traffic gradually became sparse. After arriving at the community where the new house was located, the car was parked in the garage below and took the elevator directly to the floor.
From the outside, the so-called "large flat floor" looks no different from other residential buildings.
But when Qin Ruoshu took the key and opened the door, curious Li Jinling looked inside and froze there.
Li Yufang on the side saw that her niece's expression was not quite right, and she was a little curious: "What's wrong?"
Li Jinling replied with envy and hatred on her face: "The dining room alone is 120 times larger than the one we have at home!"
After entering the living room, my aunt Li Yufang realized that what Li Jinling said was true.
Of course, what really caught Li Yufang's attention was the bookshelves filled with various books around the living room.
"Yeah!" Li Jinling threw her luggage on the floor, and excitedly came to the bookshelf. After observing it for a while, she turned back to look at Zhou Yan, "Brother, your interests are quite broad, architecture, structural mechanics...
…”
Then, Li Jinling discovered a more attractive place - the kitchen.
"It's bigger than our living room!" Li Jinling observed and marveled, "This is called transparency from north to south..."
After looking at the master bedroom and the second bedroom in the house, Li Jinling was even more upset: all bedrooms are equipped with independent bathrooms.
"No, after I go back, I have to ask my dad to change to a bigger house!"
"How long can you live in a bigger house?" Aunt Li Yufang said unceremoniously, "You will graduate soon, how many days can you stay at home a year? It is more reliable to find a rich partner..."
"Then forget it!" Li Jinling rolled her eyes and looked around for traces of Zhou Yan, "It's better to hug my brother's thick legs!"
Zhou Yan, who had no idea that he was going to be used as a thigh, hid in the dressing room of the master bedroom with his wife, counting the birthday gifts he had purchased not long ago.
The area of the cloakroom of a "big family" is naturally not small, covering more than 30 square meters. The wardrobes and shoe cabinets of different heights inside are the dressing cabinets.
In the drawer under the dressing cabinet, birthday gifts are "placed": various watches, bracelets and necklaces that can be matched with various clothes and suitable for different occasions.
"Is this the surprise you were talking about?" In addition to the surprise, Qin Ruoshu also felt a little distressed, "Such precious jewelry can build a building in the capital!"
After all, Qin Ruoshu had followed Wen Ning in Kuotai's circle for a while, and she knew more or less the market for luxury accessories.
"The amount of funds in foreign bank accounts has increased too fast. Although they are all long-term, the base is too large and there is so much money that the banks are jealous..."
"Well, I won't do it next time!"
When Qin Ruoshu opened the door, he found that everyone was looking at him with meaningful eyes. He suddenly remembered something and turned around to glare at Zhou Yan.
"Ahem, um..." Zhou Yan looked embarrassed, "The decoration here has just been completed, and the daily necessities have not been purchased yet. How about we stay over there in Wanhua?"
In the capital, there are only three places where young couples can live with seven or eight people together, Wanhua, Tangning, and the yet-to-be-built Houhai courtyard house.
"Is it far from here?"
"Only seven or eight kilometers!"
After the group of people left Tangning Community and entered the Fourth Ring Road, Li Jinling suddenly realized something: "Brother, is this Zhongguancun?"
Father Qin and Father Zhou were both happy.
"This is a standard school district. Wudaokou, Old Summer Palace, National People's Congress, Lin University, and Shouhang are all around here..."
Compared with Tangning, Wanhua, which is also in a school district, can only be considered a suburb.
After settling their luggage, a group of people changed cars and started exploring the capital.
The first stop is "the largest square in the world".
After shopping around, it was already noon. In order to provide material for my sister's documentary, the group went to Dongxing Building, known as the eighth building in the capital, at noon.
After all, Li Jinling grew up in the kitchen. When she saw the color of the dishes served in the restaurant, she kept nodding: "After all, this is the capital, where dragons and tigers are hidden, and the heat of the gravy is not something that ordinary chefs can prepare!"
"
Of course, a time-honored restaurant pays attention to an "old taste" and has a recipe that has been kept for a hundred years. Although there is no innovation, at least the dishes can be guaranteed to be satisfactory.
After lunch, a group of people went to visit the young couple’s courtyard house near Houhai.
Although the courtyard covers an area of more than 600 square meters and has a second floor in the courtyard, after it is built in the shape of a courtyard, the "inside" will be less than 400 square meters.
"Third aunt, this looks much more comfortable than my brother's big flat..."
After saying that, Li Jinling glanced at Qin Ruoshu: "With a courtyard like this, my eldest nephew will not want to play in the mud or know where to look for it!"
Li Jinling's old-fashioned words made everyone present laugh.
"Oh, by the way..." My aunt suddenly remembered something and walked to Zhou Yan, "I called your cousin Feng Jun in the morning. I remember you said that you provided the place where he lives?"
At this time, not only Li Jinling, but also Zhou Yan's father and mother's ears stood up.
"It's not far from here," Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "However, Brother Jun usually lives in the company dormitory and only comes back on weekends. Now..."
"What's going on now?" Everyone's curiosity was aroused.
"He should be the only one living with me now..."
"In this case..." The aunt gritted her teeth, "Let's find an expensive restaurant tonight and call Feng Jun to pay the bill!"
In the afternoon, the group waited until the heat of the sun dissipated before going out. What they saw was still a house, but it was the Forbidden City with nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms.
Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.
Among the group of people, only Qin Ruoshu had studied architecture and could name Ding Maolai. The others could only follow Zhou Yan the whole time and listen to the temporary guest commentator explain the anecdotes about the Forbidden City.
Zhou Yan stayed in the "Long River of History" for a long time. It was rare to show off, so naturally he had to show off. He turned all the secrets that were not mentioned in many history books into short paragraphs and incorporated them into the commentary.
Fortunately, no one cared or took it seriously.
There were nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms. The group just browsed some representative rooms and left. In addition to the fact that the weather was too hot, it was also because it was almost time to cook.
Although I had agreed to choose a more expensive one and give Feng Jun a hard time, I still chose Huaiyangchun, which has a pretty good value for money.
After ordering the food, Li Yufang picked up the phone: "We are at Huaiyangchun on Sanlihe East Road. The food has been ordered, and we are waiting for you and Xiao Xu!"
