As soon as Li Muwu finished speaking, everyone suddenly laughed. Mrs. Li glanced at Li Muwu angrily, not knowing what to say about him: "How can I leave you home? You are a few retired people. It’s been a month, don’t delay, go through the retirement formalities in advance, and let Mingguang from the third family take your class. It’s best if he can go to university in the future, and if he doesn’t pass the exam, he can have a serious job.”

Li Musen scratched his head beside him, and smiled at Li Muwu a little embarrassedly: "Well, I thank the fourth brother for my second boy."

Has Li Muwu regained his senses: "Then I'll quit?"

"No, no." Zhen Zhen immediately said with a smile: "Just follow your daughter and I will go to the imperial capital to enjoy the happiness."

Li Muwen's family was startled by a family of college students before they even talked about the courtyard house when they got home. Li Muwen said a few good words again and again, and looked excited as if he had been admitted to a university. University, especially the two schools of National University and Imperial College, can be described as the childhood dream of most Chinese people.

When Li Muwen was a child, he had a hard life and never went to school. He still followed the political commissar to recognize some words during the war. After liberation, he went to night school and then to the military school.

During the war, there is no difference between the culture and the difference. Li Muwen realized the difference when he went to the military academy to learn military research and strategic research. Therefore, when he returned to his hometown, in order to make his family more talented, he directly transferred Mingxi to the best high school in Bingcheng, just so that he could be admitted to the military school. Li Muwen's own two sons are also college students who graduated from the military academy. They already have positions at a young age and have a promising future in the army.

The two sons of Li Muwen's family, Ming Jun and Ming Ji, were both born after liberation. At that time, Li Muwen's position was not low, so the Ming Jun and Ming Ji brothers had a better life and educational environment since childhood. Li Muwen felt that the environment and schools that the five children of Li Muwu’s family grew up in were definitely not as good as those of the Ming Army and Ming Ji. Under such circumstances, all five of Li Muwu’s children were admitted to colleges. A child is usually more solid and hard-working when he goes to school.

Li Muwen brought out the Maotai brought by Ming Jun: "This is the biggest happy event of our old Li family, we have to celebrate and celebrate today, and when we return to the imperial capital after the new year, my mother will take the third brother's family to live in my house. , and also let me be filial and filial to you."

Li Muwen's wife, Xue Wenhua, frowned slightly and didn't speak when she heard this. She is not someone who dislikes her hometown. It's frantic.

Although Mrs. Li didn't see Xue Wenhua's expression, she refused: "No need, we, the old and the young, live in your house and Wenhua is tired, and we are not comfortable. Last year's New Year's Eve When you came back, Zhen Zhen brought two large yellow croakers dug from the mountains and asked you to buy a house, did you buy it?"

When Mrs. Li's family came to the imperial capital, they must first settle in the courtyard. Mrs. Li simply made it clear and let everyone know that it was Zhen Zhen's house.

Before Li Muwen could speak, the whole family fry the pot again: "Big yellow croaker? Big yellow croaker is a gold bar, right?" Li Musen asked dumbfounded: "We've only heard of this stuff but haven't seen it before, mother, why didn't you show us how it looks before? What's it like?"

"What does it look like, what's so good about Huang Chengcheng's appearance." Mrs. Li blocked her way back: "Besides, this is what Zhen Zhen dug up and what does it have to do with you guys. Today I'm going to put it down, this big yellow croaker has already been replaced by the boss. The money bought the house, and directly wrote the name of Zhen Zhen. No one should make a crooked idea, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Zhang Chunhua looked at Mrs. Li's stern eyes, his lips moved, and he wanted to swallow the words back, but he was really unwilling: "How old is she, shouldn't she be at home if she picked up the big yellow croaker, can you really give it to her? a child?"

"Just give her what she can do!" Mrs. Li looked at her and sneered: "If you are not convinced, you can dig it up the mountain. How much you dig is yours, and we will not share it with you."

Looking at Zhang Chunhua's black face, Wang Xinwen happily ran along with the noodles in her arms: "Mingbei, hurry up and find a shovel and a basket for the old aunt. After a while, the old aunt is going to dig for gold in the mountains."

Li Mulin glared at Zhang Chunhua, and quickly said with a smile: "Mother, you know that Mingshu's mother has this kind of virtue, don't know her in general."

Seeing that the fourth uncle was a little embarrassed, Zhen Zhen quickly changed the subject: "Master, is the house you helped me buy a kind of courtyard house?"

"Yes, there is a lake in the imperial capital, and the boss is in it." Li Muwen said, "Everyone has been cleaned up, but I didn't expect you to go to live so soon, only people will clean it up, and the furniture, bedding, etc. have not been purchased. ."

Zhen Zhen was so excited when she heard it, she hurriedly dragged Mrs. Li and asked, "Ma, when are we going?"

Mrs. Li thought about it, Zhen Zhen will start school in March, so she has to tidy up the house before, she asked Ming Dong to bring the calendar over to look at the date, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Let's go early, the tenth day of the first year. Just go out, don’t delay Zhen Zhen going to school.”

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the old Li family packed out more than a dozen large sacks, including rice, noodles, and oil. Carrying, there are no ready-made quilts to sell. Although Zhen Zhen looked at the headache of the big bag and the small bag, she didn't dare to help the receiving space rashly. After all, there were too many people and it was easy to see the flaws. Although you may not be able to guess things such as space, you will be thinking about something if you don't have it.

The family carried a large and small bag on the train, and even Ming Jun and Ming Ji helped carry a sack of grain. When they arrived in the imperial capital, Mingxi brought Mingbei, Wang Xinwen and noodles to his house, while Mrs. Li took Li Muwu, Wang Sufen and Zhen Zhen to live in Li Muwen's house temporarily.

Knowing that Li Muwu and the others were only cooking in their own house, Xue Wenhua regained his enthusiasm. When he got home, he asked the orderlies to help them put things in the basement first, and then took them to the bathhouse in the compound to take a bath.

After a short rest for a day, Zhen Zhen couldn't wait to take a look at her courtyard, thinking that she could only squat at the entrance of the courtyard in her previous life and drooling at the entrance of the courtyard, but in this life she could have one, it was like a dream.

The military compound and Houyang were not very far away. Li Muwen led Mrs. Li and Li Muwu's family on a mighty walk to Houyang. It was still the first month of the year, the weather was cold, and there were not many people visiting Houyang. Mrs. Li looked at this delicate lake and smashed her mouth: "It's much narrower than our Nanda River, and it's not too deep to look at. Can there be fish in it?"

Li Muwen laughed dumbly and said, "Our Yongcui River can be merged into Heijiang in the end. There is nothing comparable between the two."

Madam Li suddenly sighed in disappointment: "My family Zhen Zhen has no other hobbies, she just likes going up and down mountains and rivers, I saw that the Imperial Capital Mountain is not high and the water is very deep, she will have no place to play in the future. "

Zhen Zhen held Old Lady Li's arm a little embarrassedly: "Nurse, I will go to school seriously in the future, and I can't always play truant and run around like before."

"Look at it, I missed it, I knew that you were designated to play truant before." Mrs. Li laughed as if she had caught Zhen Zhen's pigtail: "One time I went to your school to lie on the window and it didn't work. see you."

Zhen Zhen smiled embarrassingly, and quickly pretended to be very curious about everything around her: "Master, where is that courtyard house?"

Li Muwen pointed to the front: "That's the house."

Looking at the tall door, Mrs. Li opened her mouth wide: "Oh, such a big door, there must be four or five rooms inside."

Li Muwen smiled and took the key to open the door, then handed the key to Zhen Zhen, and said with a smile, "You have to add a zero at the back, this yard used to be part of a county king's mansion, and now there is a middle road in it. A four-way house and a small garden at the back."

When Mrs. Li heard this, her legs went soft: "Oh, this is the palace of the past? Can we live here?" She looked around alertly and asked Li Muwen in a low voice, "Will you be criticized? /Fight?"

"No, mother." Li Muwen helped her into the hanging flower door and walked in: "That time has passed, and there will be no such bad things anymore. You will live here and have a better life in the future."

Only then did Mrs. Li feel relieved, she took Zhen Zhen's hand and walked across the veranda. This palace has not been damaged, and the things inside are well preserved. Even the pattern on the top of the veranda is clearly visible. Although the wooden pillars on both sides have faded, they still look very stylish.

Pushing open the door of the main courtyard, the Bogu shelf and the canopy bed inside had been wiped clean, Zhen Zhen jumped on it immediately, and her eyes straightened when she touched the exquisite patterns on the shelf bed: "This is a genuine antique. "

Li Muwen suddenly laughed: "Zhen Zhen knows a lot at a young age, even antiques."

Zhen Zhen smiled shyly: "A lot of books have been dumped from the waste collection station before, and this was mentioned above. Uncle, does every room have furniture?"

Li Muwen shook his head: "The canopy bed in the main room is the most stylish, the other rooms are basically empty, but there is a back room with a canopy bed in the back, which is more beautiful, but not as big, it is estimated that it is for girls. boudoir."

Li Muwu was at a loss as he stood inside: "There are too many rooms in this compound. In winter, I need to light a few stoves. There is no mountain to drag firewood. Do I have to buy coal?"

Wang Sufen, who was originally excited and looked around, calmed down when she heard this: "How can we fix it? We can't get the coal ticket."

Li Muwen immediately smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you about this, but some of the courtyards in this area have been requisitioned by the state, and some have been allocated to individuals. Because this area is relatively special, I also submitted a document to ask for opinions a few years ago. I asked if you would like to install radiators in a unified way, so that you don’t need to burn coal to burn the kang house in winter, it will be very warm, but we have a lot of houses, so I’m afraid the heating bill will be expensive.”

Before Mrs. Li had thought about it, she just listened to Zhen Zhen and replied: "Install, install it in every room, how much does it cost?"

"You don't need to pay for the installation of pipes, but you will have to pay for the heating later." Li Mu's paperwork: "There is still some money left to buy a house. I will give it to you later."

The family walked around this big house from beginning to end, and when Zhen Zhen saw that the rockery of Taihu Lake in the garden was still intact, Lexi didn't know what to say: "Master, you bought more than just Siheyuan is like a mansion."

Li Muwen was amused by Zhen Zhen: "Anyway, this one was the better one left at that time, and you just caught up with the time."

When she came out of the courtyard, Mrs. Li was anxious to move out and hurriedly asked Li Muwen, "Is there any carpenter who can make furniture? It's better not to pay a ticket or something?"

Li Muwen has only been in the capital for two years, and he is not very familiar with this area. He turned around and asked the orderly, who shook his head: "They are all bought in shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives." One sentence, Mrs. Li's heart was half cold. , which of these two places is not easy to use without tickets.

Zhen Zhen rolled her eyes and walked beside Mrs. Li to discuss with her: "I'll go around and see if there is a waste market selling old furniture or something."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly took her hand: "That's not good. It's the first time you went out in the imperial capital, so what if you lost it."

"Honey, I'm a college student now, and I will go to school alone in the future. I just happen to be familiar with the imperial capital, so I can take you around in the future." Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "Besides, anyone who asks about my uncle's family will know. I can't get lost anywhere."

Li Muwen heard the words and said a few words to the orderly. Several orderlies and guards took out some great unity from their pockets and handed them to Li Muwen. Li Muwen counted about 500 yuan and directly gave it to Zhen Zhen: "You are an adult, and you are the No. 1 student in the college entrance examination in the black province. The uncle believes in you. If you go around on your own, you should consider it as exercise. If you can't buy it, I'll find a way for you."

Zhen Zhen took the money in surprise and gave Li Muwen a military salute playfully: "Promise to complete the mission." Li Muwen smiled and left an orderly to help Zhen Zhen lead the way, then took the others away.

Watching Li Muwen and his party go away, Zhen Zhen just thought about the decoration of the courtyard, so that the real old house needs to match those antique furniture, but thinking about her own weak foundation, if you really want to put those perfect yellows in the space. The furniture made of rosewood, nanmu and red sandalwood is too eye-catching. It is better to buy some from the waste collection station first, and talk about the rest later.

Consciousness first swept around several waste collection stations, but found a few places with furniture. She pretended not to know, and asked the orderly next to her: "Where is the nearest waste collection station?"

The orderly pointed in a direction that was exactly where Zhen Zhen looked before.

The two spent a day going around the nearby waste collection station, Zhen Zhen had not visited the imperial capital for two years for the college entrance examination, but she found a lot of good things. At the end of the day, Zhen Zhen bought five chairs with broken legs, some made of nanmu, also some huanghuali, and some red sandalwood and nanmu that looked like they had fallen from somewhere, and they also bought them home.

She originally thought she could only find such a thing, but what surprised Zhen Zhen was that she actually saw a dark purple copper stove from a pile of wood, no matter the color, the base model, or the details, it looked like a Xuande stove.

There is a Xuande stove in the Bai family's collection that Zhen Zhen bought in Bingcheng, but it is only dark brown, and this is only dark purple. Carefully wiped the dirt on it with her sleeve, Zhen Zhen's eyes were bright as if they would shine: "Comrade, I have chosen."

After a day of running around the streets, the orderly accompanied Zhen Zhen back to Li's house at night, and went up to report to Li Muwen: "I only bought some tattered tables and chairs and a bunch of useless tatters."

"Useless junk?" Li Muwen leaned on the back of the chair: "What kind of thing?"

"Dirty copper stoves, broken pieces of wood, some messy seals, inkstones, etc., fortunately they were all bought from the waste collection station, and they are not worth much." The orderly said honestly.

Li Muwen smiled lightly: "You just keep her safe, don't worry about the others."

Li Muwen thought very well, who would have thought that Zhen Zhen dumped the orderly the next day, in the words of the orderly, he ran faster than a rabbit, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Zhen Zhen wandered the streets and alleys of the imperial capital for seven or eight days, and finally cleaned up the main house and the east and west wing of the main courtyard. There is a canopy bed on the side of the main house for Mrs. Li to live in, and the west room is the house where Li Muwu and Wang Sufen live. Zhen Zhen put out a mahogany bed from the Republic of China in the foreign building, which looks generous and elegant. Eye-catching. There were many mahogany boxes in the western-style building, and they were all moved out, and two were placed in one room.

The east wing, Zhen Zhen, was going to live in the Mingbei family, and put the ocean bed that Su Weiran and the others had used for ten years in the mountain nest. Because of the age, the bed looks a little old, but in fact these are imported goods bought from overseas by ice city capitalists, and they are soft and comfortable to lie on.

Zhen Zhen lived in the West Wing, except for a shelf and two boxes, she didn't put anything in it, she was going to find someone to move the canopy bed in the back room to her own room.

I heard that Zhen Zhen tidy up the house neatly by herself, the whole family couldn't wait to come here, when Mrs. Li saw that she also had the bed and the box, she made a decision immediately: "Bring over the bedding and food, I will live here today. "

Li Muwen quickly persuaded her: "Mother, you've only lived in my house for less than ten days. If you let outsiders know and think I'm not filial, why do you have to live for another month."

"But I'm not comfortable living there." Mrs. Li said honestly: "Although your house has a small yard, you can't grow vegetables in a place the size of your palm. I don't like to stay. Look at this place. How good, there is such a large piece of land in the back, I will plant vegetables when spring begins."

Zhen Zhen Nao made up for the scene of a pile of Chinese cabbage beside the Taihu Stone, and silently covered her eyes.

Li Muwen was convinced that the old lady died: "The food we eat in our family is given away, so we don't need to buy it."

Mrs. Li pouted: "It's delicious to grow by yourself."

In fact, Mrs. Li didn't really eat the vegetables she grew, but she and her eldest daughter-in-law hadn't seen each other a few times, and Mrs. Li, who lived with each other politely, felt very awkward. It's different like Wang Sufen. The two have been with each other for a lifetime, and they have adapted to each other. They have similar personalities and tastes, and they have a good relationship like a mother and daughter.

Seeing that Mrs. Li had to move over, Li Muwen had to have people pull over with the help of a car, quilts, bedding and food. He also brought daily necessities such as gas stoves, pots and pans, pots and pans, pots and pans, enamel jars, stoves, and others. A few bags of coal and some vegetables.

That night, Mrs. Li was lying on the big bed covered with a thick quilt and couldn't sleep with excitement. When she woke up the next day, she couldn't open her eyes: "I was so excited that I couldn't sleep in the king's bed. , What, Zhen Zhen, why don't we move this bed and find someone to build a kang for me."

Zhen Zhen: "..."

The family had settled down, and soon the school started soon. Ming Bei, Wang Xinwen, and Zhen Zhen went to the school to report together. There are trams in the emperor. The place where they live and the school are famous places. There are stop signs, and it is very convenient to travel.

The west gate of National University and the east gate of Imperial College are diagonally opposite, so Mingbei was not in a hurry to go to school, and decided to go to help Zhen Zhen and Wang Xinwen go through the formalities first. Today's Imperial University looks a lot more vicissitudes than when Zhen Zhen traveled to the end in her previous life, but it also has more charm.

Zhen Zhen and Wang Xinwen are not from the same department, so the dormitory is not on the same floor. Zhen Zhen's dormitory is 201, a room facing south. It was noon at this time, and the warm sunlight poured in, and the whole body was warm.

Zhen Zhen chose the bottom bunk by the window, poured a basin of water to wipe the bed clean, and while no one was in the room, she didn't lay the mattress first, but took out a goose feather mattress from the space and placed it underneath. , and spread his own mattress on top. Zhen Zhen found a bed sheet with floral foundation and changed it into a curtain from the space, and surrounded her bed, so that when she went to bed at night, no matter what she did, she would be more secretive.

Zhen Zhen tidied up the house, Wang Xinwen over there was also tidied up, the three of them met from the stairwell and were about to go to the National University to have a look. Not long after they left the dormitory area, a boy in a tunic suit with a suitcase on his back hurried Came over: "Students ask, where does the law department report go?"

Wang Xinwen smiled immediately: "We are in the same department. I just finished reporting, and you can see the registration office when you walk from here to the other side of the lake."

"Thank you, classmate." The boy thanked him and hurriedly left with his luggage.

Wang Xinwen and Ming Bei walked a few steps, and suddenly realized that Zhen Zhen was not following: "Hurry up, what are you thinking?"

Zhen Zhen swallowed her saliva and trembled a little: "I suddenly remembered that a large part of our students in this class should become the great talents in the future." Seeing the blank eyes of Ming Bei and the two of them, Zhen Zhen silently said in her heart. After chanting, "Even the future second-in-command is my classmate, so I have nothing to be afraid of."

Until the three of them entered the West Gate of the National University, and before they reached the registration site, a more familiar person entered Zhen Zhen's eyes, Zhen Zhen couldn't help but start to imagine: maybe my future will become equally awesome Exist.
