Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

It is not impossible to buy a house in Houhai.

But that will have to happen later, and the other thing is that even if you buy a set now, whether you can keep it in the future is another question.

Wu Youde had no choice but to think about it first. If he had to choose, the Prince Gong's Mansion he just saw would be very good!

In his previous life, he had bought a ticket to visit Prince Gong's Mansion. The interior was really nice, but most of it had been restored and rebuilt later.

Because Prince Gong’s Mansion has changed hands since the Republic of China. First, in order to raise funds to restore the Qing Dynasty, Pu Wei mortgaged Prince Gong’s Mansion to the Xishiku Church of the Beijing Catholic Church.

In this way, Prince Gong's Mansion was gradually purchased by Fu Jen Catholic University, which had a church background, and was opened as the location of its women's college.

Duofuxuan in Prince Gong's Mansion became a library, and Baoyue Building became a women's dormitory.

In the early days of liberation, Fu Jen Catholic University merged into Beijing Normal University.

In 1956, some departments of Beijing Normal University merged with the Music Department of East China Normal University to establish the Beijing Art Institute, and the residence of Prince Gong was used as a school building for a long time.

The garden of Prince Gong's Mansion was opened up as a dormitory for the Ministry of Public Security and a factory building for the Beijing Air Conditioner Factory.

Later, more and more units and even residents moved into Prince Gong's Mansion.

For a long time, a total of eight units and more than 200 households were stationed here.

Some units even erected walls, dividing the once neat houses into pieces. A tall building was even built at the gate of Prince Gong's Mansion.

The pond in Prince Gong's Mansion was even filled in to build a kindergarten.

A huge royal garden was demolished to pieces, which is a pity to be honest!

Thinking of this, Wu Youde suddenly had a bold idea. It would be great if he could take Prince Gong's Mansion into his own hands...

Immediately, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This is impossible!

……

It was already noon when I returned from Houhai with Qin Huairu.

Wu Youde took her with him, and the two of them went to Biianfang for a meal, and then headed back home after eating and drinking.

Returning to the courtyard, the two of them pushed a bicycle into the courtyard, which immediately attracted the attention of other people in the courtyard.

"Hey! Youde is back, what are you..."

"Is this car new? Oh, it's so beautiful. It's small and looks great. Huairu, is this bought for you?"

"How much does this bike cost? You have a bike at home. Why do you want to buy another one?"

It's not that the whole family doesn't stay in the same house, the third aunt has quite a Yan Bugui demeanor, wandering around Qin Huairu's bicycle, talking non-stop.

Facing the admiration of everyone, Qin Huairu felt happy. This feeling of being envied made her feel very comfortable and mentally satisfied.

In an instant, her waist straightened up and her head was raised high!

She said very reservedly: "It's not much money, two hundred and fifteen yuan."

Then she pointed to the light in front of the car and said, "It's just that this light is expensive. If you don't need this light, it's still twenty yuan cheaper."

"Ouch!"

"Just this lamp costs 20 yuan? Oh my god! This can cover my family's monthly salary!"

"Tsk tsk... You are so virtuous and you are so willing to give up. Ouch... Your Huairu is at home every day and doesn't have to go to work. You already have a bicycle. Isn't it redundant to buy another one?"

Here comes the mean talker.

Aunt Zhao, the neighbor of the third aunt’s house, nodded immediately and sighed: “If you are virtuous, you have to be careful in your life, and don’t be a lavish person!

If you continue like this every day, sooner or later you will lose everything..."

"I think so. What's the main reason? Huairu is at home every day, so there's no need for this bicycle. It's just for idleness after I bought it. It's just a display!"

When Qin Huairu heard this, she immediately became unhappy, glanced at the Third Aunt and Zhao, and said sharply: "My family will not be in vain!

I, Brother Wu, am good at what I do. This is what I, Brother Wu, earn from writing articles. I will still have the royalties in two days!

Besides, even if I can't ride it, I can let my cousin ride it, so that my cousin doesn't have to walk when she goes to and from get off work.

Right, Brother Wu? "

This was the first time Wu Youde had seen such a sharp-tongued person, and he immediately found it quite interesting, so he nodded cooperatively, "Yes, yes, I think so too.

Third Aunt and Aunt Zhao thank you for your reminder, but I will work harder in the future. I will work hard to create and strive to earn more and more royalties!

Actually, you are right. If you spend money so fast, you will lose money soon. But fortunately, I have finished writing the first book and just sent it out today. It is estimated that the next payment of royalties will come in a week at most..."

The third aunt and others looked at each other, and then the third aunt said in surprise: "So, you have received a royalties?"

Wu Youde laughed, "This is so new, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the bicycle pushed by Qin Huairu.

Being watched by everyone, Qin Huairu chuckled and said proudly: "That's right, this car was bought with Brother Wu's royalties. Didn't I just say that?"

"..."

The third aunt swallowed and asked with some difficulty: "Youde, how much is the royalties you received?"

"Not much."

"Oh……"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, I had some doubts, not much?

If not, do you still have money to buy a bicycle?

Or did you add some money yourself?

While everyone was thinking about it secretly, Wu Youde said calmly: "It's only seven hundred yuan."

Seven hundred yuan...oh...

What? ? ?

"Seven hundred yuan?!" The third aunt exclaimed.

Aunt Zhao said "Ouch" and covered her head, "Hiss... I'm a little dizzy!!"

The rest of the people were also shocked, and they were all dumbfounded, like woodcarvings.

"Seven hundred yuan...my mother!"

"Oh my God, why do you have so much money?"

"My family can't make so much money in two years, seven hundred yuan... seven hundred yuan... I'm not dreaming..."

Aunt Zhao covered her head and muttered to herself, feeling numb all over.

When Wu Youde saw that it was almost done, he was about to leave, but at this time a man wearing a military coat came through the door.

"Wu Youde! Is Wu Youde here?"

The three aunts and others all looked at Wu Youde.

Wu Youde looked at the person who came and saw a big bag on his shoulder. He smiled and said, "I am Wu Youde. Are you the master of the power supply station?"

"Yes, hello Comrade Wu. Don't you need to pull out the wires at your house? I'm here to install it for you today. Where is your house?"

As expected, it was from the power supply station. Wu Youde suddenly became excited, finally being able to use electricity!

He immediately smiled and said: "Here, here, in that courtyard inside, comrade, you and I, what do you call me, comrade?"

"Haha, don't be so polite. My name is Yuan Zhenli. You can just call me Lao Yuan."
