Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 151 Arriving in France

Fengzhou is not close to the urban area of ​​Beijing. It is now a suburb.

Although it was only 60 miles away, it still took him nearly an hour to drive there.

This is in the outer suburbs, not in the countryside, so the construction is okay.

At least the surroundings don't look that bad and there are a lot of people.

It's a bit like the steel mill where Liang Ladi worked in 61.

After taking a look at the surrounding buildings, there are courtyards and bungalows.

But the bungalows here are more industrial in nature, not villas.

It is said to be a bungalow, but in fact it is more like the earliest batch of employee dormitories and student dormitories.

On the second floor, there is a restroom on the upper and lower floors.

Moreover, this staff dormitory is a bit mixed with men and women, and most of them are based on family units.

Just looking downstairs, you can see the men and women living there coming in and out.

To be honest, this house in this year and month can be said to be ahead of other manufacturers by an unknown amount.

But Chang Hankun saw the disadvantages at a glance. The bathrooms were mixed and the space was too small.

As for the Siheyuan, it is about two to three hundred meters away from the motorcycle factory.

It's not far, but it looks a bit old.

Even from two to three hundred meters away, you can still feel the age of the house in the distance.

"What room are you looking at?"

Chang Hankun sighed, and then said: "Look at the courtyard, there are mixed people living in this building."

"If you go to the toilet at night, it's not safe."

"Besides, Han Qing came back to work as an engineer, so he has to keep quiet when thinking. It's not appropriate here."

Li Xiuzhu nodded understandingly upon hearing this, and the two got in the car again and drove to the courtyard.

Sure enough, most of the courtyard houses are large courtyards, but there are also some that belong to individuals.

However, for those who can live in the outer suburbs, private courtyard houses are slightly better than large courtyard houses.

They looked at several private courtyard houses, and they all entered the courtyard.

It's enough for three or five people to live in, but it can only make the shorter ones taller.

An hour later, they returned to the courtyard where they had watched for the third time.

At present, this one is the one closest to Chang Hankun's heart.

Of course, Chang Hankun was still 70 to 80 percent short of the 100 percent satisfaction he felt in his heart.

"This is it."

"Come on, let's ask."

Seeing Chang Hankun and Li Xiuzhu coming back, the host was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you see a suitable house?"

Chang Hankun nodded when he heard this and asked, "Is your house for sale?"

The owner was stunned when he heard this. He didn't want to sell it.

When I asked Chang Hankun to come in for a look before, Chang Hankun just said that he wanted to buy a similar courtyard house after looking at the layout.

I want to see the size and lighting inside.

"Here, I don't plan to sell it?"

Chang Hankun didn't refute what he said, and said directly: "Two thousand and five."

This is the suburbs, outside the city. She inquired about it, and once she entered the courtyard, a small couple of two thousand was enough.

Hearing this, the host hesitated for a moment, realizing that two thousand five thousand was much more than the actual value of their house.

Seeing the host's hesitation, Chang Hankun spoke again.

"Three thousand."

"Well……"

"Three thousand and five."

After Chang Hankun said three thousand and five, he reminded: "This is already more than twice the original price of your house. You may not be able to find such a good price again in your life."

"With this money, you can go to another hospital in the city, and you can also use the remaining money to start a small business."

Nowadays, once you enter the courtyard house in the city, the one with a better location only costs 3,000 yuan.

"Sell it, I didn't say not to sell it, but can I ask, what do you use it for?"

We have been arresting enemy agents for three years, and now that martial law has just ended, the people are still very vigilant.

Chang Hankun frowned when he heard this. Just when he was about to speak, Li Xiuzhu said, "That's it. The country wants to vigorously develop industry."

"My brother-in-law is an overseas student, specializing in electric locomotives. He wants to help the country build our own locomotives."

"Because he wants to be an engineer, the courtyard and the dormitory are not suitable for him to think, so we have to buy him a courtyard here."

"In a few months, he will work in the motorcycle factory. If you don't believe it, you can report it."

Upon hearing this, the owner was startled and immediately said: "This is a good thing, sell it."

"Let's go trade now. I'll move out in three days."

"I don't want you to give me three thousand and five thousand. Just give me three thousand."

"Although I would like to pay less, our family has to do a lot of things when moving into the city, and we have to make a living again, so I can only give you this price."

Chang Hankun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he could save 500 yuan with just an explanation.

After the three of them went to the street to handle the transfer transaction with the title deed, the owner left.

Chang Hankun then looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Why does he think he has too much money?"

Li Xiuzhu laughed when he heard this: "Because he wants the motherland to prosper!"

"This is the same as your brother, and it's also the reason why I don't want to leave."

"I firmly believe that it will get better and stronger. As a flower grower, I am still very proud."

"It just restricted me too much, so I had to change my Hong Kong Island citizenship."

Chang Hankun deeply felt the man's attachment to this country. Hearing this, he asked with some worry: "Then can your nationality be signed back in the future?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled warmly when he heard this.

"Of course it can. Hong Kong Island will return to the motherland sooner or later."

"And our ages will have to be adjusted at that time."

"So, not only am I going to change my Hong Kong Island nationality, you will also be changing it in the future, but it can be delayed by ten or twenty years."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu suddenly said with emotion: "Sometimes it is a sin to grow old too slowly."

"When the secret of your agelessness is known, 90% of people will want to slice you up."

Chang Hankun was very smart, so he naturally knew that a man was not guilty but harbored a jade. Hearing this, he leaned on Li Xiuzhu and comforted him: "Everything will be fine."

"Ok!"

In the afternoon, I returned to the courtyard. Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment as soon as he entered the door.

Looking at the bicycles in front of Yan Bugui's house, Li Xiuzhu asked in surprise: "Old Yan, you have bought a lot of bicycles."

Yan Bugui smiled when he heard this and said, "No, I'll accept your offer."

"I have made a lot of money from fishing in the past three years."

"By the way, Brother Li, when will my bicycle become valuable?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said: "It will take another two years, but keep it well. If it gets old, it won't be so valuable."

Yan Bugui patted himself and said, "Don't worry, I won't let those little bastards in my house get close to them. I have a small room dedicated to storing bicycles."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and asked curiously: "How many cars are there?"

To Li Xiuzhu, Yan Bugui did not hide it and said, "Except for my car, there are only four of them."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "It's quite a lot. I can earn six to seven hundred yuan."

This is really not just talk. If you ask for tickets in the future, the ticket price will be around 180.

Yan Bugui was very happy when he heard this. With so much money, his family would be rich.

Yan Bugui came closer and said, "Brother Li, thank you for this."

"If you have anything to do in the future, I will definitely help you."

"By the way, do you like flowers and plants? Do you think the two pots of clivia I raised are growing well?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu took a look at the two pots of Clivia. They were really growing well and they were blooming.

Although Li Xiuzhu didn't like these flowers and plants, he couldn't bear to have someone in his family like them.

Jiang Meiying and Chang Hankun both like this stuff.

"Are you going to send it to me?"

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "This is necessary."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "You know, I don't take advantage of others."

"One dollar per pot, how about buying you two pots?"

Hearing this, Yanbu Guidun was in a hurry.

"No, it's just a pot of flowers. You've helped me so much. If I still charge you money, I'd be so immoral."

Yan Laoji was willing to take it out, but he wouldn't believe it if he gave it to others.

Li Xiuzhu thought for a while and didn't refuse anymore.

Also, Yan Bugui has not compensated himself for the advice he gave Yan Bugui.

"Okay, just this time, I won't do it next time."

Yan Bugui was immediately happy when he heard this.

"Okay, you go back first, I will take you home later."

When Li Xiuzhu arrived at home, he saw Tian Zao in the back room when he entered.

Li Xiuzhu was startled, thinking about the locked door, and immediately understood that Tian Zao came in through the small door.

Generally, Tian Zao would not come in during the day. If he came in suddenly, something must be wrong.

"What's wrong, Zao'er? Is something wrong?"

Tian Zao also saw Li Xiuzhu, hurried over and said, "Brother, there is a meeting in the district..."

"The census is going to start in the next two days. I'm worried about the impact on my family, so I'll talk about it first."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said: "It's done well. The census is a restriction for our family, but it's not."

"Don't worry about this, just do whatever you want."

Tian Zao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The composition of the family is too complex. Every time a new policy is introduced, it always feels like the family is being targeted.

"Okay, then I'm relieved. I'll leave first, brother."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu stopped Tian Zao and said, "You're already here, why are you so anxious to go back?"

"Come on, let me feed you."

Tian Zao's face turned red, but she didn't refuse. She just said, "Rushui is helping to take care of the children in my house. How about I call her here too?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, you can change it when you go back. Who will take care of the child when she comes?"

"And don't let your children see you opening the secret door. Children are sensible and can't hide their words and are prone to talking nonsense."

Tian Zao nodded when he heard this and said, "I know, brother, I'm on guard every time I open the door."

Neither of them spoke anymore.

……

After a while, Tian Zao went back with a blushing face, and then Zhou Rushui came over with a blushing face.

It's just that Zhou Rushui came a little late. Before she could leave, Chen Xueru and Qin Zhaodi came back.

Seeing Zhou Rushui at home, Qin Zhaodi's eyes were shining and she was about to step forward, but was pushed away by Chen Xueru. Zhou Rushui also saw Chen Xueru and he felt guilty and did not dare to look at Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru said to Qin Zhaodi: "Go and cook. I want to see when the food is ready."

Chen Xueru dismissed Qin Zhaodi, but she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stood at the door.

Such an outrageous scene almost prevented Zhou Rushui from finding a three-bedroom apartment.

In the end, I felt that this was nothing to do with me, so I couldn't help but whisper: "Sister Xueru, my brother is not to blame for this..."

Before Zhou Rushui could finish speaking, Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "Did I say I blamed your brother?"

"Don't explain. If you explain again, your brother will think that I am unhappy and jealous."

Hearing this, Zhou Rushui's expression changed and he said, "Sister, I didn't mean that."

Chen Xueru sipped melon seeds calmly and said, "I didn't say you were interesting. Just serve your brother well."

"Sister, I'm just helping you get familiar with it."

Before dinner, Li Xiuzhu took Zhou Rushui to wash up briefly.

Then he sat at the dining table.

"Sister Xueru..."

"Eat, go home and sleep after dinner. The child has been sent there, so you don't need to worry about it."

After hearing this, Zhou Rushui blinked and stopped talking.

Sometimes some things don’t have to be explained so clearly, as long as you understand the meaning.

……

Three mornings later, the streets began to move.

The census began. Street officers worked in teams of two, with ten people per alley, going door to door to investigate and collect evidence.

The census in the city lasted for half a month. Basically, the basic information of family members has begun to become transparent.

Of course, this transparency is just talking about town.

The census in rural areas is much slower than in cities.

At the end of June, before the census ended, Li Xiuzhu took Hepburn back to Britain.

Also walking together were Chang Hankun, Liu He and Jiang Meiying.

Elizabeth's first stop after her coronation parade happened to be France, so Chang Hankun did not leave immediately, but went to France with Jiang Meiying and the others.

But he didn't go with Li Xiuzhu. As the person in charge of the safety of Elizabeth's trip, he naturally had to go with Elizabeth.

He is responsible for the journey before boarding the plane in England. When he arrives in France, he will be responsible for the safety there.

In terms of security, except for the hotel, he is not responsible for anything else.

Elizabeth was placed in the legendary palace hotel, the Hotel Creon.

Except for staff, no outsiders are allowed to stay in the hotel.

However, since Li Xiuzhu was in charge of security, there would be no problem if he arranged for a few people to stay here.

Elizabeth also saw the four girls.

It was the first time to see such a heavyweight. Except for Jiang Meiying, the two women were a little cautious.

Hepburn is not here, staying in Britain.

Hepburn's Sissi was recently released and received a very good response, so the new drama is about to start filming again.

Hepburn, who loved making movies, once again plunged into work.

Li Xiuzhu was not worried about what would happen to Hepburn. The company was all under Margaret's name and the movie was shot in Great Britain.

In addition, Margaret and Hepburn often travel together, so the insiders who dare to get involved with Hepburn have not yet appeared.

As for outsiders, Margaret would intervene.

"Hello, you don't have to be so formal. You are Li Xiuzhu's women in Xia Kingdom."

Hearing this, Jiang Meiying said gently and generously: "Yes, it's nice to meet you, Queen Elizabeth."

Elizabeth admired Jiang Meiying's gracefulness very much, especially Jiang Meiying's appearance after taking off the veil at this time, which made Elizabeth feel good.

"You are so beautiful. What is your name?"

"Thank you for your compliment. My name is Meiying Jiang, and these are my sisters He Liu and Han Kun Chang."

Jiang Meiying's English level is even higher than that of many people in Daying. In addition, she has a sense of boundaries, so she will not introduce her name like Chen Xueru and Li Xiuzhu.

"Mei Ying? A very nice name."

Then he looked at Liu He and Chang Hankun and smiled slightly: "Of course your names are also very nice."

Liu He and Chang Hankun are used to it.

There are too many outstanding women in the family, and even the proudest women like them will feel miserable in this family.

Just one Jiang Meiying is too hard to ignore.

There are also strong eldest sisters in the family, the shrewd and calm Sister Xue, the grown-up Wen Jing and the experienced Qin Huairu.

The above are the most dazzling women in the first echelon of the family and the women who cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, Liu He's experience was enough for her to adapt quickly.

Liu He smiled generously and said: "Thank you for the compliment, but can we borrow your guard captain for a day tomorrow?"

"We want to take a walk in Paris, but we girls don't dare to go out privately."

When Elizabeth heard this, she glanced at Jiang Meiying and understood.

But she did not agree, but said: "Tomorrow, Li will accompany me to visit the construction and culture of France. I'm afraid I can't lend it to you."

"If you can wait three days, that would be the best outcome."

"Otherwise, I can only send a few royal guards to protect you."

Hearing this, Jiang Meiying saw Li Xiuzhu nodded, responded, and said, "Then I'll trouble the queen."

Then he said to Chang Hankun and Chang Hankun: "You and your sister Liu go to see your brother first, and I won't go there yet."

"When Xiuzhu is done with his busy work these days, we can go shopping in Paris together."

Hearing this, Chang Hankun also nodded.

She didn't think Jiang Meiying was being pretentious. What happened at the gate of Fu Jen Catholic University last time was an obvious example.

The possibility of danger caused by Jiang Meiying's travel is at least several times greater than that of them.

After dinner, when Li Xiuzhu was about to leave, Elizabeth suddenly stopped Li Xiuzhu.

However, the two did not divorce and agreed that no one would interfere with the other.

But there is one thing. Philip can find women, but he must restrain himself and can no longer let people take pictures.

"Of course, I'd be happy to, my Queen."

"Then I'll change my clothes and come back as soon as I go."

Because of Jiang Meiying's presence and the fact that Elizabeth had ulterior motives, only one of Elizabeth's personal maids was serving the meal in the restaurant.

Jiang Meiying's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, but her face remained calm, with a slight smile still hanging on her face.

Before leaving, Jiang Meiying put on her veil again.

Although this makes people feel mysterious, they don't want to have it so hopelessly.

But to be honest, Jiang Meiying is also outstanding with a veil, but it is still a little better than without a veil.

After the four of them returned to the room, Li Xiuzhu changed his clothes and left first.

In this regard, Jiang Meiying and the others said nothing.

It wasn't until Li Xiuzhu left that Liu He said jokingly: "When do you think our man will come back?"

Chang Hankun smiled when he heard the words and understood what Liu He meant.

Although the two girls didn't notice Elizabeth's little movements, just those words could make them guess a little.

After all, they are all smart people.

Jiang Meiying didn't seem to hear Liu He's words, and skillfully picked up the books on the table.

As he opened it, he said: "Walls have ears, don't discuss things that shouldn't be discussed."

Liu He shrugged and said, "Yes, I made a mistake. We treat it as our family."

As he spoke, Liu He fell back and said, "It's so boring. It's not as fun as at home. There is someone at home who can play mahjong with me."

Chang Hankun felt a little guilty after hearing this. She was the one who asked Liu He to come with her, mainly because she wanted Liu He and Jiang Meiying to be companions.

At this time, Jiang Meiying handed over a notebook and said, "This is the architecture plan of the electric train I wrote. Take a look."

Chang Hankun was stunned when he heard this.

"Sister Mei Ying, why are you writing this?"

Before Jiang Meiying could speak, Liu He took the notebook and said, "What else can I do? It must be because of your brother."

Jiang Meiying said while reading: "I asked Sister Xueru to help me check. The factories in Beijing are mainly researching diesel locomotives."

"So if you want your brother to study electric locomotives, then you must let the higher authorities see the benefits and shadows of electric locomotives, and let them see the feasibility, so that research and development can be possible."

"The research and development of electric locomotives is now a major research topic in various countries. What I mean is that I want your brother to see the feasibility in this note and then build two models."

"According to the same size, we will make a diesel locomotive module and an electric locomotive module, and make a relative intuitive comparison of pulling force, speed and so on."

Chang Hankun was numb and looked at the glowing Jiang Meiying with piercing eyes, full of admiration.

To be honest, because her brother wanted to return to China to study motorcycles, she was also looking at knowledge in this area, but she hadn't started yet.

"Sister Mei Ying, when did you understand motorcycles?"

When Jiang Meiying heard this, she said without raising her head: "Last month you said that your brother was going to return to China. After we decided to let your brother work at BJ, I focused on studying electric locomotives."

"It has been more than fifty years since electric locomotives appeared. Old information is not difficult to find. The key lies in innovation."

"Making a model doesn't require much technology, the motor is the most important."

"The motor design inside was improved by me, so there shouldn't be much problem in terms of power and efficiency."

"As for how to maintain the power output of the motor, how to increase the power to make the locomotive run faster, and how to ensure that it does not derail, those are all future research directions."

"Before that, let the higher authorities see the advantages of electric locomotives."

Chang Hankun and Liu He were numb after hearing this. They didn't expect Jiang Meiying to understand so much in a month.

"Thank you, Sister Meiying."

Liu He said with admiration: "The eldest sister has always said that sister Mei Ying is the smartest, but I still don't believe it."

"I'm convinced now."

"Give me half a year, and I won't be able to reach your level, Sister Mei Ying."

Hearing this, Jiang Meiying looked away from the book, looked at Liu He and said, "Everyone has their own advantages. I'm just better at reading."

“I thought reading was easy before, but now I think it’s a little easier.”

"And your talent may not necessarily be in reading."

"Just like eldest sister, I am not as good as me when it comes to calculating people's hearts."

"Sister Xue's management ability is not as good as mine."

"Huai Ru's clever words and charm are something I can't learn either."

"Your sunny atmosphere is also very good."

"So you just find your shining points and carry them forward."

Chang Hankun's eyes lit up when he heard this and asked: "Sister Mei Ying, what are my advantages?"

Jiang Meiying smiled and said: "You are sober in the world, you are accurate in judging people, and you are decisive."

"And you're good to your family."

Chang Hankun blinked and asked, "Then what are my shortcomings?"

Jiang Meiying hesitated after hearing this, and then said truthfully: "You care a little too much about your brother, and you are a little too controlling."
