Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy a courtyard house."

Accompanied by a bewildered Yu Li.

Zhao De drove her toward Qianmen Street.

The couple attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Yu Li was very concerned about her image, and she was overjoyed.

After some twists and turns, it wasn't until Zhao De stopped the car that the incident occurred.

Yu Li then remembered what they had come out to do.

"Didn't you say we were going shopping? Why are we buying a courtyard house here? What happened?"

Seeing Yu Li's confused expression, Zhao De explained:

"Let's go shopping later, but first let's take a look at this courtyard."

“A coworker told me that there was a nice courtyard house for sale here, so I wanted to buy it.”

"That will cost a lot of money, right?"

Yu Li was secretly alarmed. Zhao De only had six or seven hundred yuan on him. Did he use it all to buy a courtyard house?

The key question is, is it enough?

Zhao De shook his head.

"I don't know, let's ask the homeowner first."

"The factory recently gave me a lot of bonuses, and I have more than a thousand yuan saved up now."

"Then you should buy a courtyard house. Money will depreciate, but a courtyard house can retain its value."

Yu Li fully agreed with Zhao De's plan.

Zhao De looked at Yu Li and smiled, saying:

"Lily, you're really quick-witted. Most girls aren't as insightful as you."

He thought to himself:

She truly lives up to her reputation as a woman who wanted to do business even in the early days of China's reform and opening up.

We will plan and nurture them well in the future.

She will definitely become a powerful businesswoman, just like the next Dong Mingzhu!

"Of course."

Yu Li became proud, but then seemed somewhat disappointed:

"Actually, my grades are very good. My teachers all say I have a talent for math."

"Back then, my family wasn't well-off, so my parents asked me to do part-time jobs to earn money so my younger sister could go to school."

"It's okay, there will be many more opportunities to continue your studies in the future!"

Zhao De planned to wait until after the reform and opening up.

Find an opportunity to arrange for Yu Li to pursue further studies; her grades are not important.

The key is to broaden your horizons and learn how to manage a business.

The two strolled and chatted along the gray brick walls, with Zhao De leading Yu Li.

Following the human-shaped signs on both sides of the house, we quickly found where Pianye was.

In front of a wooden door covered with mottled marks.

Zhao De was surprised to find Yan Bugui sitting on a drum-shaped stone.

A group of children were gathered around him as he told a story.

"Hey Yan Bugui, what are you doing here?!"

Zhao De was very surprised; wasn't he a teacher?

Was he fired?

So you came here to teach the children?

Yan Bugui looked up and saw that Zhao De was asking him a question, which puzzled him.

"Hey, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Zhao De then realized what was happening and asked in disbelief:

Are you that Qiu Guangpian master?

"You know me? Who are you?"

Zhao De was a little confused at the moment, but then he suddenly remembered.

This Qiu Guangpianye was originally a character in the TV series "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate," and he looks exactly like Yan Bugui.

No wonder he looked familiar when I saw him earlier.

Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru were there too?

Zhao De had not actually watched the entire series.

I had only watched the edited version once, so I didn't remember who Pianye was at all this morning.

"I'm here to buy your yard. Could you show us around?"

Zhao De thought for a moment, and then thought about the original plot.

It seems that Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu bought the courtyard at a low price.

That's a really good deal.

Later, Pianye returned from Northeast China, which was during a special period.

He inadvertently revealed this while drunk, which frightened him so much that he hurriedly ran away again.

Upon hearing that Zhao De wanted to buy a house, Pian Ye immediately perked up.

He quickly waved to the children around him to leave.

He himself was worried about what to do with the courtyard.

This yard is indeed not easy to sell.

Because those who can afford it don't need it, while those who need it can't afford it.

After all, capitalists back then were very low-key and carefully concealed their brilliance.

Moreover, at that time, most people's housing was provided by the state.

Few people will spend money to buy a house.

"Let's go take a look, hurry up."

Pian Ye crossed his arms, striking a pose identical to Yan Bugui's.

He led the way, with Zhao De and Yu Li following closely behind.

"Brother, if you like a yard later, don't make it too obvious, otherwise it will be difficult to negotiate the price."

Yu Li gently nudged Zhao De's waist and whispered a reminder.

Zhao De then told Yu Li what he knew about Pianye:

“He’s in a hurry to sell the yard. Let me tell you about his situation.”

"It is said that he did nothing all day but earn a few cents by telling stories to children to buy some wine."

"Now it seems he encountered some difficulties that led him to sell the courtyard."

After hearing this, Yu Li fell into deep thought.

After exchanging a few words, the two arrived at a courtyard house near Dashilan.

The moment Pianye pushed open the courtyard gate.

Zhao De and Yu Li were both captivated by the scene before them.

Although neither Zhao De nor Yu Li had much artistic talent, they still knew how to make comparisons.

Beijing may not have many other things, but it has plenty of traditional courtyard houses.

Moreover, they themselves live in a courtyard house like this.

“This three-courtyard house of mine was passed down from my grandfather.”

"The yard and house are both very big, they look pretty good, don't they!"

Uncle Pian led the two of them for a stroll in the courtyard.

Zhao De nodded in agreement, and the entire courtyard was filled with a simple and elegant atmosphere.

The exquisite carved beams and painted rafters bring joy to the viewer.

In addition, the courtyard is quite spacious.

The courtyard is filled with flowers and plants, and stones are placed there.
