Chapter 36 smooth
The registration time is the 2th day of the first month, the day after the Lantern Festival, and the 22nd day of the Gregorian calendar.

Wang Zhong set off on the fifth day of the lunar new year and arrived in Yanjing on the sixth day. When he got off the train, a man in his forties, with flowing hair parted in the middle, who spoke standard Yanjing dialect, was holding a sign with Wang Zhong's name on it. I have been waiting for a long time.

Wang Zhong walked up to the man with his luggage, put down the luggage in his hand, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Hello! I'm Zhou Bingkun."

The middle-aged man was a little excited, put down the sign, wanted to reach out but was a little hesitant, wiped his hand on his clothes before reaching out to hold Wang Zhong's hand, and the voice of surprise was intermittent: "Chongwen... no... Hello, Mr. Zhou! I am He Damao!"

"Hello, Comrade He!" Letting go of his hand, Wang Zhong said with a smile, "It's hard work for you to make a special trip."

"What did Mr. Zhou say? I have admired you for a long time. It is my honor to have the opportunity to receive you."

He Damao is a loyal fan of Wang Zhong's readers. He first read Wang Zhong's poems, and later read novels. At first, he wrote letters to magazines. It was out of control, and he wrote letters to Wang Zhong almost every month, and Wang Zhong would occasionally write back a letter.

Because of this, the two gradually became acquainted with each other. After a few years, although they haven't met each other, they can be regarded as good pen pals.

This time he came to Yanjing, Wang Zhong had already contacted He Damao in advance, and asked him to help rent a house, preferably a courtyard house.

But now that the difficult period has just passed, the reform and opening up has not yet been fully determined, and there are still certain risks in the sale of houses, so Wang Zhong thought about renting first instead of buying directly.

Of course, Wang Zhong doesn't mind if he can buy it directly.

In the past two years, with the publication of the physical books of "Changjin Lake" and "Chongwen Short Stories Collection", Wang Zhong's net worth has soared, and he has successfully become a "ten thousand household".

He Damao is a Chinese teacher in Yanjing No. [-] Middle School. He has a good income and a good family background. Both his grandfather and father were martyrs, and they died in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War to Aid Korea. His elder brother is now the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The top leader, but the status is not low, Yanjing is the capital, just think about how high the content of a deputy director is.

"Mr. Zhou, I've already made arrangements for the hotel. We can go and check in directly. As for the house, according to your request, I have also found several places. Let's go and see them one by one tomorrow morning. What do you think? How about it?"

He Damao was attentive and enthusiastic, and took the initiative to take the luggage in Wang Zhong's hand, and called a tricycle outside the train station, and the two of them rushed to the hotel that He Damao had arranged in advance in a manpower tricycle.

After putting everything in the hotel, after Wang Zhong took a shower and changed his clothes, He Damao took Wang Zhong and went straight to Quanjude outside the front door.

"It's too expensive, let's just eat whatever we want!" Quanjude's consumption is notoriously high, and it's the first time the two met. He Damao spent so much money, and Wang Zhong really felt a little sorry.

He Damao smiled and said, "How can this be done? Mr. Zhou, it's your first time in Yanjing, why don't you try Quanjude's roast duck!"

Seeing He Damao's relaxed face, it is obvious that he is not short of this money. He looks familiar here, and he must come here a lot. Wang Zhong is not too lazy to be hypocritical, and said with a smile: "Yes, then I will not get along with you." You're being polite."

"That's right!"

The next day, He Damao took Wang Zhong to Nanluogu Alley first. Now Nanluogu Alley is basically a courtyard. There are more than ten or twenty families living in a courtyard. There are more than three rooms and one less.

The first place He Damao took Wang Zhong to see was a courtyard wing room with three entrances and only two rooms.

The location is good, and the house is not badly preserved, but there are too many people living in it, and the rooms are a little less, not enough to live in, and many facilities are shared, which is not very convenient.

In line with the attitude of shopping around, Wang Zhong didn't rush to make a decision.

In the morning, the two went to three more places, all in the area of ​​Nanluoguxiang, basically all courtyards.

In the afternoon, I went to Beiluoguxiang to look at three places, but none of them matched.

On the third day, I went to Deshengmen to have a look, but unfortunately I didn't see anything.

Unexpectedly, on the ninth day of the lunar new year, He Damao suddenly rushed to Wang Zhong excitedly, saying that there was a Erjin alley for rent in the Dashiqiao Hutong next to Deshengmen, so he dragged Wang Zhong and ran there without any explanation. up.

On the way, He Damao also explained the situation of the yard to Wang Zhong. The owner of the house was a friend of He Damao. He came from a scholarly family. He was rehabilitated last year. After living in the building assigned by the unit, I thought about renting out the yard.

As soon as you enter the small courtyard, the gate is in the southeast corner, and the entrance is the screen wall. There are three inverted rooms facing the street, and the westernmost is the toilet. There is a large courtyard of more than 30 square meters. There are two east and west wing rooms on both sides, and three rooms in the main room. , There are two green areas beside the main house.

Even the house has not been rented out yet, Wang Zhong fell in love with it at a glance.

With a thought, without hiding it, I directly asked the owner if he would accept the offer.

The owner of the house was also very straightforward, and agreed after thinking about it for a while, asking for a price of 300 yuan, which was discounted for He Damao's face.

Now the monthly salary of first-class workers is only 27 yuan, and the meat is only a few cents a catty. Two thousand and three hundred yuan is not a small amount.

Wang Zhong agreed on the spot. He Damao is a student of the big courtyard and has a lot of contacts in Yanjing. He took the two of them to the Housing Management Bureau on the same day to finalize the house.

That night, Wang Zhong moved into the yard he had just bought.

At night, Wang Zhong was a little excited and couldn't sleep, so he simply picked up the white paper and started drawing.

The courtyard house is indeed good, but the water, electricity and toilets are all old-fashioned. The layout of the courtyard house keeps appearing in Wang Zhong's mind, and the lines are vivid on the paper.

Early the next morning, He Damao came to the door again. With He Damao, a local snake, it became extremely simple to purchase and hire workers.

In the afternoon, the workers officially started construction. According to Wang Zhong's wishes, they rearranged the pipelines in the yard, widened the septic tank, and made it into three formats. The potty tank and other things had to be arranged. Had to make a bathroom too.

It doesn't look like a big project, but it takes a lot of effort to add up all kinds of things.

There is no way out, buildings are more expensive than courtyards now, and now buildings are basically houses of various units, and ordinary people can only live in large courtyards. Wang Zhong is grateful to have such a small courtyard that lives alone.

If you want to live comfortably, you need to spend some necessary money.But in this way, the project is not small.

It was thanks to He Damao, a die-hard fan, otherwise, Wang Zhong himself would have no way to buy this yard even if he found it.

On the twelfth day of the first month, February 2th in the Gregorian calendar, three days before the start of school in Shuimu, the renovation work was finalized, and He Damao was entrusted to help watch over it. Come to Yanjing.

Originally, Wang Zhong planned to live in Yanjing for a while to get familiar with the situation, but he didn't expect that He Damao's energy is quite strong, and he found a place to stay for him in just a few days.

And surprisingly good.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening when Wang Chong said Jichun, and it was already past nine o'clock or almost ten o'clock when he got home.

Knocking on the door, after a while, Zheng Juan's voice came out: "It's late at night, who is it?"

"Me!" Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound from the outer room, and the dim yellow light from the incandescent lamp spilled out of the window.

With a creak, the door opened from the inside. Zheng Juan, who was wearing a padded jacket and sweater and wool pants, stood inside the door, looking at Wang Zhong in surprise and amazement: "Why did you come back?"

Wang Zhong entered the room and closed the door without any hassle. Li Suhua also put on a padded jacket and came out of the back room sleepily: "Juan'er, who is it?"

"Mom! It's me!"

Li Suhua woke up immediately, stared wide-eyed, and looked at Wang Zhong: "Kun'er, didn't you go to Yanjing? Why did you come back?"

"Could it be that something happened?" Li Suhua hurried to the door, opened the door and poked his head out, looking around in a panic, seeing no one was outside, then quickly closed the door.

Wang Zhong couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom! What are you doing!"

"Kun'er!" Li Suhua held Wang Zhong's hand with a nervous expression, tears in his eyes, and even his hands were trembling: "Listen to me! If we commit a crime, we should surrender ourselves and strive for a lighter sentence. Get lost! Don't do anything stupid!"

"Mom, what are you thinking? Your son and I have just been admitted to university, and there is still a bright future ahead. There is a vast world waiting to show off. How could we do things that violate the law and discipline?" Wang Zhong took Li Suhua's hand ,Explain patiently.

"Really not?"

Li Suhua was skeptical.

Wang Zhong smiled softly: "Really not! Who am I, don't you know yet!"
