On the other side of the door is the courtyard

Chapter 16 Buying a piano and cosplaying Aunt Thirteen

Back in 2023.After taking photos of the furniture and the two porcelain bottles from all angles, they sent them to Director Zhang of the mahogany furniture factory who exchanged WeChat messages last time.Expressed that relatives were willing to sell the remaining seven pieces of furniture.There are also two antique vases from private kilns in the early Qing Dynasty. I hope he can help introduce interested customers to take a look.

The next step is to purchase the supplies needed for the next month.In addition, Yang Yi already has an idea about which book to copy for the second novel.

After finishing his work, Yang Yi took time to practice piano for a while.I remember that in order to let my daughter practice piano, Yang Yi had to learn with her daughter and register for the exams together with her daughter.As a result, the father and daughter passed the piano amateur level 1952 along the way.Since Yang Yi's character in the [-] time and space is a top student + a musical genius, it is still necessary to maintain a sense of music.

Director Zhang responded quickly and made an appointment with Yang Yi to bring a friend over tomorrow morning. The friend was interested in the two paired vases and wanted to chat with Yang Yi in person.

Yang Yi said it would be OK at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

The next day, Director Zhang brought his friends with him.First, I looked at the seven pieces of Huanghuali furniture and gave a price of 85.Yang Yi calculated that the average price was almost the same as last time.They are all understanding people and the prices they offer are real.Yang Yi agreed to the price without continuing to bargain.

Director Zhang’s friend also took a fancy to the pair of vases at this time.The price was offered at 8.To be honest, Yang Yi didn't know much about this, and the price of antiques was a matter of opinion, and there was no standard price.As for asking those brick-and-mortar dealers to come in for valuation, forget it, the dogs will ignore them.

The resale price is 8000 times, which is similar to furniture.Yang Yi pondered for a while and said,
"Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, I don't know much about antiques. You can add some more. As long as you give me another number, these vases will be yours."

Mr. Liu is also a decent person. He feels that Yang Yi gave him face and did not go out of his way to add hundreds or thousands of dollars.Said directly,
"Then Mr. Yang, I will pay you [-] yuan to take it away. Remember to contact me if you have any good things in the future."

Director Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with the two of them not contacting him directly in the future. After all, he was voluntarily helping.Getting some introduction fees is not as good as having two more friends and two more ways to go in the future.

A few days later, all the supplies were in place, and Yang Yi summoned the time and space gate and returned to 1952.

Tomorrow is the National Day report performance of Mom and her art troupe.Yang Yi, as an outstanding middle school student representative recommended by the school, was also fortunate enough to obtain admission.

Around 06:30 the next night, Yang Yi arrived at the entrance of the performance venue, found the team of student representatives, and went over to join the team.

At [-]:[-], the team began to enter the venue and quickly found their respective areas to sit down.

At seven o'clock sharp, the party started on time.Performers from all walks of life took the stage and started performing.

At about 45:[-], it was Mom’s turn and the comrades-in-arms art troupe began to take the stage.

The announcer began to introduce: "Now, I would like to invite the comrades-in-arms art troupe to bring you a new song, "My Motherland". Everyone welcomes it with applause!"

As the melodious violin prelude ended, the lead singer of the art troupe opened his voice,

"A great river with wide waves
The wind blows the scent of rice and flowers on both sides

......"

The explosive song immediately shocked the audience, so that a few seconds after the song ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Because the audience's applause was so enthusiastic, the actors who had already left the stage had to return to the stage to bow three times.

"These people have never seen the world." Yang Yi thought to himself.

But why are my eyes red?

Maybe I should also do something for this troubled country that has just emerged from the ashes.

However, the impulse is only temporary.Later, as an old man who suffered severe beatings from society in later generations, cautious thoughts prevailed again.Finally, it was reduced to four words, long-term plan.

After thinking about it randomly, the party is over.

In the next few days, Sijiu City gained a beautiful scenery.

Wherever there are loudspeakers, "My Motherland" will be played three or four times a day.As long as those people walking in a hurry on the street hear this song, they will temporarily stop and sing along with the speakers.

This trend has even spread to the courtyard house, and now everyone is knitting Chinese knots, humming songs, and silently calculating how much craft fees they can get.What a happy scene.

If you have enough talent, you will know etiquette. As the old saying goes, I will never be deceived.

Several days have passed since the National Day, and my father's side has been a little free, but my mother's side has begun a second round of busyness.The art troupe is going on tour in various places. It is estimated that this tour will take more than a month.

"Xiao Yi, mom can't spend your birthday with you anymore. You should be careful and take more care of your dad and let him smoke and drink more leisurely."

"Okay, Mom. I will take good care of my dad. Just be careful along the way."

"Did you hear that? Lao Yang. If I come back and Xiaoyi tells me that you don't care about your body, let's see how I deal with you when I come back."

Dad quickly kowtowed like a little chicken to express that he didn't dare.

Sure enough, women in Shanghai are obedient to their husbands.

At this time, Yang Yi took out a piece of music sheet and handed it to his mother.

"Mom, this is my new song. Please show it to me." Mom took the music sheet and started humming softly.

"The beacon smoke is billowing and singing heroes
四 面 青山侧 耳听侧耳听
晴天 响雷敲金鼓

......

"What a great song, Xiaoyi."

"Mom, you can slowly figure out the arrangement during the tour. Your art troupe can start rehearsing this song. It's just right to perform at the New Year Gala."

"Okay. Oh, by the way, Xiaoyi. Those three rooms with reverse seats have been approved. When you and your dad have free time, go in and sort them out and see what you can put in them. Otherwise, it won't look good if they are empty and unoccupied. "

Yang Yi thought for a while and replied,
"Mom, why don't you buy me a second-hand piano and put it in? Open up these three rooms and make a larger piano room."

There are still 14 years until the wind blows, and there is no danger in playing the piano.When the wind blows, the worst possible thing is to put it in space and throw it back to 2023.

"Except for a few times when you were a child, you haven't touched the piano since you came to Sijiu City. Would you like me to find someone in the art troupe to teach you? I'm really busy recently, otherwise I can teach you. "

In order to hide his true piano skills, Yang Yi agreed to find someone to teach him.As for learning faster in the future...because I am a little genius in music.

Mom took out six hundred from a box and gave it to dad.

"Lao Yang, take these 500. When you have your day off, go to the trust store with Xiaoyi and buy a second-hand piano. One should be more than [-], and the rest will have to buy piano chairs and some Practice music scores and stuff. Put the rest back in the box and lock it."

The father said that he would definitely take care of his son's affairs.

The rest day two days later happened to be Yang Yi's 15th birthday.

During the day, my father accompanied me to the trust store and bought the piano.The piano is in very good condition. The transaction price of 500 yuan also came with a piano chair and a pile of practice scores.There are even tuners who come to your home to tune the piano.Value-added services are not good enough.

It's probably because there are few buyers for this kind of stuff, so the transaction price was much lower than Mom expected.

The father and son decided to tell their mother a false report of 50, and the extra [-] was added to the [-] cents.Now my father's cigarettes can be taken to a higher level.After dividing the money, the two of them showed a charming smile of "you understand me".

In the evening, my father also came to the courtyard and asked Shazhu to cook a table of dishes.He also called Xu Damao and his sister Xu Yanling to celebrate Yang Yi's birthday together.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening before Qin Huairu came over secretly.Because recently everyone is working hard to make Chinese knots at night, and they all go to bed after eleven o'clock.So Qin Huairu hasn't had much chance to come over recently.

But when she knew that today was Yang Yi's birthday, she decided to come over no matter how late it was.

Yang Yi heard the gentle push of the door outside and knew that Qin Huairu was coming, so she took out two sets of clothes and a pair of women's small leather shoes from the space.

Qin Huairu came in and closed the door.He threw himself directly into Yang Yi's arms,
"Xiaoyi, happy birthday."

"Sister-in-law, you haven't been able to come for several days and you missed me so much."

"Xiao Yi, I miss you so much."

The two talked to each other and comforted each other.

"Sister-in-law, those two sets of clothes and leather shoes are my gifts to you. Please put them on and let me see."

"Yeah, you gave me a gift for my birthday."

"Sister-in-law, you dress beautifully, which is the greatest gift you have given me."

Then Qin Huairu started to change clothes in front of Yang Yi - the same small dress of the Thirteenth Aunt.Yang Yi spent a lot of money to have it handmade in modern times.

Because Qin Huairu had never worn Western clothes, Yang Yi even helped her.Then she loosened her braids, tied them up, and put on her little top hat.Aunt Thirteen!Stunningly beautiful!

Qin Huairu looked in the mirror and was shocked.

Then changed to another set.Still stunningly beautiful.

Qin Huairu was a little disappointed after being pleasantly surprised.Such beautiful clothes can only be worn here for a while.However, it was a little happy to be able to show my beautiful self in front of Yang Yi.

Yang Yi said at this time: "This beautiful lady, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"

"I do." Although Qin Huairu didn't drink, she still felt drunk.
