185 Ups and downs
Stayed at Zhu's house for one night and had breakfast the next day. Zhu Jiahua went to work by himself. He was pushing his bicycle and just out when Lu Li chased him out, "Brother Hua, Brother Hua?"
"What, there is something else?"
"There is something. Do you still remember that you went to my place during the Chinese New Year. I told you about buying a courtyard house in Beijing?"
"Oh, this?" Zhu Jiahua put the bicycle down and took out a cigarette and lit it. "Xiaoxiao, I'll ask you about this, but it's quite difficult. There is no such thing as house purchase and sale in Beijing. Most of them are changing houses. Do you understand this?"
Lu Li nodded frequently and expressed his understanding, "Hey, this is the case. Moreover, although there are courtyards in Sihe, they either have three or five families living in a large courtyard, or they are property confiscated by the Cultural Revolution. There is no main point at all. After the street research, I saw that such a large house was empty. What's the point? Just give it to those who came back from all over the country? This is the most common situation."
"...The second type is that the historical problem has not been explained clearly. If the father is defeated or even died, the child applies to the country after returning to the city, but if it cannot be solved for a while, it will become a difficult problem."
Lu Li wrapped his arms around and thought for a while, "Brother Hua, you...you should do this, let's consider the first situation. No matter how many families live in this courtyard, I will pay for it. Let them find a way to learn to touch the house. In short, I want the courtyard."
Zhu Jiahua was both embarrassed and puzzled, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you don't live in Beijing, why do you have to buy a courtyard house? Isn't this a waste when I bought such a big house, but it's empty?"
"Well, I have a premonition. Siheyuan will definitely be very valuable in the future. Not only do you have to buy, but you also have to buy more. Brother Hua. If you are willing, let us buy a few sets each of us and keep them in our hands, so we will ensure that we can appreciate in the future."
"You can get rid of it. The family asks you for a 4,500 yuan, how much does it cost for four or five? I don't say that there is not that much money. Even if I have it, I won't buy this thing. What to do or what to eat is not good?"
"It's hard to force me if you don't buy it, but you must help me solve my problem."
"Okay, I'll go back and ask you." Zhu Jiahua pushed up his bicycle and suddenly stopped again, "By the way. You don't have a household registration in Beijing (Beijing). Who are you going to put your house on?"
"It's okay to fall to you, it's okay to fall to Liang Xin, what do you think?"
"Give it to his name. I will tell him about this today."
"Okay. Is there anything else?" Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Zhu Jiahua grinned, "Xiaoxiao, I won't send you there. I'll go to Tianjin in a few days. I'll help you with your work, and then wait for you to get married. Our buddies will get together again."
Seeing Zhu Jiahua riding a bicycle away, Lu Li turned back to the courtyard. Xu Yunjian was talking to the two elders. When he saw him come in, Zhu's father waved and called him over. Lu Li already knew that Zhu's father was Zhu's nephew. Before liberation, because of his uncle, he suffered in the Kuomintang prison and was detained until the Japanese army arrived. He was released safely with the efforts of the underground party. In fact, it was not only him. Most of Zhu's family suffered a long or short period of time. When the founding of the country, out of guilt in the hearts of the old man, he tried his best to compensate the third generation, such as Zhu Guoying, Zhu Jiahua and others.
When Dad Zhu is old, he is not good to arrange any position, so he and his wife moved to Tianjin. This is also the reason why the Zhu Jiahua brothers grew up in Tianjin. "Uncle, you call me?"
"Xiao Lu, Jiahua is a few years older than you, but I think he seems to be younger than you. Look, he is almost thirty years old and is not serious all day long. When he was in Tianjin, he said he was unstable and had not found several partners. I won't mention this. Now that I have come here and work in the department, I am still swaying all day long... You speak better than our old couple. Do you advise him when you look back?"
"Sure, I won't mention it this time. When I come back next time, I will definitely talk to Brother Hua. If I don't make sure of this matter, I won't leave. How about it?"
The Zhu couple smiled, "Then, let us give you this matter?"
"no problem."
*********************************************
Lu and Xu delayed for a while at the Zhu family, picked up their luggage and went straight to Peking University. When they arrived here, it was not until noon that school time was over. The two of them found the teaching building of the Department of Philosophy and were waiting at the door. The bell rang and students began to flock out, like free-range pigs. It was time to go for food. Looking at the almost identical white shirt and gray-blue pants, Lu Li and Xu Yunjian looked at each other and smiled.
"Hey, where is here? Xiaoxin? Xiaoxin?"
Liang Xin was walking out with a book under his armpit. He was following a girl, with short black hair in his ears, and a neat color. When the two looked up when they heard the sound, Liang Xin immediately laughed, "Brother? Brother Jian? Ouch..." He left the girl and rushed to the front, each hugging each other, "Brother, where are you from? Are you here to find me?"
"Half and half, how are you?"
"It's great, I'm pretty good. Oh, we haven't seen each other for a long time. To be honest, sometimes I think about it, it's really not as good as Brother Jian and the others. How beautiful it is to be with you every day? I've finished it, and I can only meet a few times a year."
"Stop talking so much nonsense. There are several things to tell you this time. Let's find a place to eat and talk."
"Cafeteria, go to the cafeteria and introduce a few classmates to you. Let's go, they are all my buddies."
"All of you made friends with money, aren't they?"
Liang Xin scratched his head embarrassedly, and Lu Li's familiar smile appeared on his beautiful face, "Brother, tell you the truth. At the beginning... Well, let's talk while walking." He led the two people to the cafeteria and said, "At the beginning, I felt rich and wanted to show off, but later I found that it was not the case. Many of my classmates, oh, they all came from the countryside or in the mountains, and they had never eaten meat in their lives! So they didn't eat meat, they were as thin as bamboo poles. I really thought they were pitiful, so I invited them when I was eating. Well, I spent more money. Brother, don't blame me, right?"
"How can it be? No matter how much money you spend, I will give it to you. And I am willing to give it to you! But Xiaoxin, I still say the same thing: I will give you as much money as you want, but you must not take other people's money. Do you understand? I don't care whether this person is your friend or any other relationship, it will definitely not work! If you dare to get the money, I can't spare you!"
Liang Xin and his old friend for many years, and they have an undefined relationship with each other. They always obey his words, but fundamentally speaking, Liang Xin has always been Lu Li's young follower and has received the most care from him. He rarely sees him speaking like this, and nods urgently after hearing this. "I remember, brother, you said this back then."
"Just remember it." Luli said: "I told you back then that I would like to tell you once on such topics. Don't think I'm too long-winded."
"How can it be?" Liang Xin said with a smile: "Hey, we're here."
A few people walked into the cafeteria. The area here is so large, much more spacious than Xu Yunjian saw at Sun Yat-sen University. On the west end are eight windows, and there are long abortions in front of each window. "Xiao Xin?"
"Xiao Liang, are you here to have a meal?"
"Hey! Here we are." Liang Xin agreed crisply. It can be seen that he has a very good reputation. Those who know or not will take the initiative to say hello to him.
"Xiao Xin, here..."
"Brother Ma, I'll go over later." Liang Xin found a quiet corner, and the three of them sat down, "Brother, what should I eat?"
"All right, just buy some."
Liang Xin nodded and then turned back in a short while. He held an aluminum lunch box with small stewed meat and yellow croaker inside, and brought a portion of stewed tofu. After putting it down, he didn't bother to say anything, turned around and ran away. The two more lunch boxes were taken and the same meal was called. The three of them picked up chopsticks and started eating, "Xiao Xin, guess what, your sister and he are going to get married this year."
"Ouch?" Liang Xin shouted with joy, which made the classmates who were eating in the cafeteria. The teacher looked up and looked here. He didn't notice it yet. He shouted, "That's great! I have to call your brother-in-law in the future, haha! That's great! Let's do more? I... can I hurry back?"
"How can you not attend?" Luli said with a smile: "It is initially determined to be October, but now it may be delayed, anyway, it will be within this year."
"I didn't say that. I'll ask for leave at that time. I can't miss this matter no matter what. Even if I have a knife in the sky, I will go."
Luli smiled and nodded, "The second thing is that you start summer vacation in July, right? After you get home, you take a few days off, and then you take the train to Yangcheng, and I will take you to Hong Kong."
"What are you doing?"
"Of course there are benefits for you, what else can I do?" Luli said with a smile: "Take you around, open your eyes, and buy you some clothes."
"Brother..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Buying clothes for you is not to make you feel good at school in the future. I asked Brother Hua. He said that you are good in other aspects, only one thing is that you are a little childish. This may be because you have not been exposed to the general environment of society for a long time. I didn't mention it back then. Now staying in the ivory tower, teachers, classmates and people around you are all academic. If you stay in school in the future, of course there is nothing wrong with this, but the situation is not like this. You will be in the senior year after school starts and are not far from graduation. How can you not grow up as soon as possible? So I thought, let you get in touch with society as soon as possible. As for things like clothing, it is a means of outer packaging - believe me, when you wear this kind of clothes, your temperament will naturally change."
Liang Xin nodded in emotion, "Okay, I will listen to you."
"How is your party going?"
"I don't know either, but the party branch secretary in our department told me that I still hope that I will continue to work hard and do my best when helping my fellow villagers and classmates."
Luli was stunned, "What does this mean?"
"You don't know, where do I know?"
Luli thought about it for a while and finally gained nothing, so he could only say vaguely: "This may be someone testing you, right? Let's continue working hard."
"I know, I know."
Lu Li nodded, said no more, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. This time he came to Beijing (Beijing), but he just passed by. He didn't think about spending too much time here. After lunch, the three brothers returned to Liang Xin's dormitory, rested and talked for a while. He held his luggage, "Xiao Xin, we have to leave."
"Let's go? Didn't you talk about the train at night? What time is it now?"
"It's better to arrive early,..." Lu Li rubbed his black hair and said with a smile: "It's time for a holiday. Let your third sister take you to Yangcheng. She and I have been there a few times, and the roads and people are familiar with them. Then I will come to pick you up. Let's get together."
Liang Xin smiled innocently, "Okay."
"By the way, I just saw that there were many girls around you from school with you. How about it? Do you like it?"
Liang Xin's face turned red, and suddenly restrained her smile and asked, "Brother, I remember something. You are familiar with Sister Min. Do you know who was killed in her family during the earthquake that year?"
The sword's skewed edge made Luli suddenly remember something, "By the way, have you written a letter to your sister to ask about this? What's going on? How do you ask this?"
"Oh, you don't know. Sister Min is dead now!" Liang Xin pulled him away a few steps and whispered: "She, since she came back from the winter vacation, she has changed more than ten partners in a row, and not only changed partners, I heard that Sister Min is particularly unpredictable in this regard! Relying on her senior year and graduation is about to happen, she won't listen to anyone!"
This was something Luli never expected and frowned deeply, "How could it become like this?"
"I don't know either? I didn't believe it at first. Later, one time, I saw her in college and said hello to her. Guess what she said? She said, 'There is only one who can control me. What a pity, I died during the earthquake! You little brat, why do you care about so many'?" Liang Xin lowered his face with some dissatisfaction and said it again, "So I want to ask my third sister if I know who was killed in the earthquake."
Luli recalled for a while and finally shook his head: "As far as I know, there seems to be no one? Her father was a little injured, but it was not very serious. When I came back, I couldn't tell at all."
"So I also find it strange,... Now, Sister Min is known in Chinese, and it seems that everyone knows it. I don't know what to do."
Lu Li scratched his head hard, dandruff drip falling with the wind, which scared Liang Xin to hide back, "What are you doing?"
"Fuck!" He cursed viciously, knowing that the plan to set out today was ruined! It would be fine if he didn't know, but now he knows, how can he ignore him? "Then, do you know where she is now?"
"Brother, forget it," Liang Xin said: "This kind of thing is not illegal, who can control it? Besides, she is not in school now. After the thesis defense, all these senior students have become kites with broken strings. What to do now is to wait to get the notice and then go to the unit to report directly. You can't find her now, so what else can you do?"
"Then you can't just ignore it, right?"
"So you write her a letter and I'll give it to her afterwards."
Lu Li thought about it, but there was no better way, so he had to go back to the dormitory, find paper and pen, and write a letter to Zhao Min. He originally wanted to say a few words about the matter, but he didn't expect that the longer he wrote, because the news Liang Xin told him was very depressed, so the words in the letter were extremely disordered, and the general meaning was to say that he had traveled to Beijing (Beijing), and the visit to friends had ended, so he didn't want to stay any longer.
Unexpectedly, the news he received from Liang Xin made him feel helpless and sad. As an adult, he had his own rights to choose this kind of life, but as a friend, I really didn't agree with it. I wanted to have a deep conversation with her, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance... I was so sad that I was so sad that I knew it... The more I wrote, he became more and more moved, and I didn't feel that it touched my feelings. I wrote more and more books of letters before I could barely stop it.
Put the envelope and write it up: Zhao Min is in person. Leave it to Liang Xin, "This is Xiao Xin, I can't be in Beijing (Beijing). If you see her, you must bring the words to her for me..."
"Then, what am I saying? She didn't listen to me at all, and we didn't meet much."
"Then... forget it, just give her my letter. Oh, and also, you go back and ask her where to get to work, and then tell me. If I have time, talk to her in person."
"Okay. Then, do you want to tell her about your marriage to my sister?"
"You can do it." Lu Li didn't say anything more, picked up his luggage for the second time, and went downstairs and left the school gate with Xu Yunjian.
