Chapter 043 Chapter 49 and 50 (two-in-one)

"Fourth, you won't save money every day in school just to buy those crappy things, right?"

"No way! How could I do this? Brother, You've wronged me."

"Yes, brother, I'm with Xiaosi every day."

"Third brother, shut up."

Listening to the elder brother lecture the fourth brother, Lin Yilan quickly shut her mouth and narrowed her mouth. My presence in the car.

Seeing that she was like a little quail, Wang Zixin flicked her forehead.

"By the way, I already have news here about what you asked me to inquire about before. It happens to be a holiday during this period, so we have time to take a closer look."

Lin Yilan clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest, looking at herself with admiration. Second sister.

"Second sister, you are so kind."

She must protect such a good second sister.

Wang Zixin looked at the girl pretending to be silly and cute, and pinched her face bitterly.

"Let me remind you, you must not follow your fourth brother's example. If you want to buy something, just tell your sister and she will give you the money."

Lin Yilan patted her chest and said vowedly: "Second sister, don't worry. I Unlike Fourth Brother, I can make money on my own.

"I have only been in Beijing for a short time, and I have already earned enough money to buy a house. How awesome!"

Wang Zixin said helplessly, "Yes, yes, you are the best." " But

are you sure you want to buy a house now? You probably can't buy a house near the school with the money you have now."

Lin Yilan nodded, "Yes, I think there may be inflation in the future. " The money I have in my hand will be worthless by then.”

She chose to buy a house now out of desperation. She neither knew much about economics nor studied history seriously, so she had no idea about this era. , we only know the general situation in the next ten or even twenty years.

It's like she knows the price of everything will increase next, but she doesn't know exactly when. In order to prevent the small assets in my hands from shrinking, I had no choice but to choose the most conservative method - buying a house.

Thinking of the way forward, Lin Yilan propped her chin up and looked out the window and sighed deeply. She pressed her twitching brows and calmed down her nervous emotions. It wasn't long before her second sister and fourth brother arrived at their biological father's house.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Huh..."

Lin Yilan panted while riding her bicycle.

"Xiao Wu, wait for me." Wang Xing's urgent voice came from behind her.

She squeezed the brake handle and put her right foot on the ground. "Fourth brother, you are really getting weaker and weaker."

Wang Xing pedaled the bicycle depressedly, and the veins on his forehead bulged because he worked too hard.

Why is it that Xiaowu's physical strength is still so good after he came to Beijing to study at university? Why is it that he is the only one who has become weak? Originally, he was the last among the five in terms of physical strength, but now that he is in good health, he has not regressed, while he, a scumbag in battle, has regressed a lot. Thinking about it this way, he feels even more useless.

Lin Yilan smiled and said nothing when she saw that her fourth brother was silent and immersed in riding his bicycle. They had long wanted to find an opportunity to stimulate him.

Among the five of them, the fourth brother is the only one who has been in poor health since birth. He is also the pickiest eater and the least active among the five of them.

Now it is hard to work in the countryside. If the third brother and the fourth brother were not together, the fourth brother would probably become even more useless.

Lin Yilan, who was thinking like this, had no idea that in her previous life, she was also sedentary and wanted to stay at home and retire as soon as possible.

The two of them walked around the alley for most of the time, but they didn't see anyone being renovated.

Wang Xing looked at the wooden box tied to his back seat. It was already half full, but the back seat of Xiao Wu's car was still empty.

"Xiao Wu, should we change to another alley?"

Lin Yilan shook her head, "No. It's rare for you to receive so many things that you like, so just finish visiting this alley."

Wang Xing saw this and stopped trying to persuade her . .

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

It's such a coincidence.

Lin Yilan saw debris being cleared out of the door of a yard, and she quickly got off her bicycle.

She pushed the bicycle not far outside the yard, then parked the bicycle aside, turned around and said hello to her fourth brother, and walked towards the entrance of the yard.

"Little girl, what are you looking at?"

She was almost startled. When she turned around, she saw an old woman wearing a red armband staring at her seriously.

"Auntie, my brother and I happened to be passing by here on bicycles. Are things being demolished in the yard inside?"

The aunt wearing a red armband glanced up and down at Lin Yilan, and saw that she and her brother behind her were looking at each other. The appearance of his thin arms and legs made him lower his guard a little.

"You guys know to stay away while we're unpacking things. There's nothing to see in this kind of excitement. Be careful of hurting you and your brother later."

Lin Yilan felt the aunt's somewhat unkind tone, and she quickly took out her student from her pocket. certificate.

"Auntie, I am a student at the University of Technology..." She and the aunt explained their identities and purposes clearly, "So I would like to ask if we can take the unwanted things that have been demolished in this house. If we find them, can we take them? "

Of course, if the landlord doesn't want to, we can pay for it. Everything is negotiable."

The aunt looked at Lin Yilan up and down, then looked behind her, and saw Wang Xing with a silly smile on his face, and then turned his head . He checked her student ID card.

"I don't know if their family is willing. I can help you ask. You can wait outside." The aunt returned the student ID card to Lin Yilan and walked towards the yard.

After Lin Yilan took the student ID card, she carefully put it into her pocket.

Wang Xing ran to her side at some point. When he saw the aunt leaving, he punched her arm.

"Fortunately, you brought your student ID card with you when you went out today, otherwise the two of us would have been caught by these ladies and taken to the police today."

Thinking of the many ladies and gentlemen he met today, Wang Xing couldn't help but trembled, "These The old man is too powerful. If he is really a bad person, he won't be able to tell lies if he is stared at by them."

Lin Yilan glanced at her fourth brother, he was really stupid. I really don’t know how this man went about competing for property with his father’s family.

When she thought about his final outcome, she couldn't bear it. She patted his shoulder and said, "Fourth brother, study hard. If you are interested, I think you can consider getting a doctorate or something." Something like that."

Wang Xing looked at Lin Yilan in horror, "As the person with the lowest grades in our family, how did you have the courage to persuade me?"

Lin Yilan immediately couldn't stand it and rolled her eyes, having nothing to say to this person.

Wang Xing saw this and smiled apologetically: "I said something wrong, Xiao Wu, don't argue with me. It's not like you don't know my character."

Seeing that Xiao Wu still ignored him, he continued with a frown on his face. apologize.

"Let me tell you a secret between Lao San and I." After Wang Xing looked around and saw no one, he walked to her and whispered, "Lao San and I have already decided what we will do in the future."

Lin Yilan couldn't pretend anymore. Once you see a harvest, harvest it as soon as you see it. She was a little curious about what could make her fourth brother look so mysterious, "What?"

Wang Xing stared into her eyes, "You swear that after I tell you, you won't tell anyone else!

Lin Yilan glanced at him and saw his serious look, so she could only swear, "I swear." Considering

her past credibility, Wang Xing told him and Lao San's future plans. , "We plan to get two border defense passes before the next summer vacation, and then go to Shenzhen."

"If the third child and I cannot be assigned to work in Beijing after graduation, we plan not to work in the assigned unit."

? ? ?

Lin Yilan: "..."

She moved her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Just as he was about to speak out, he saw the fourth brother lazily leaning on his bicycle and making a shushing gesture.

Ah...if the fourth brother's face wasn't so good, she would really be itching her hands.

Lin Yilan twisted her right hand into a fist.

"Little girl, I have communicated with the owner of the house. You can come in."

The aunt wearing a red armband came out of the yard.

"Thank you, ma'am." Lin Yilan quietly wiped the hands behind her back.

She followed the aunt into the yard, while the fourth brother was looking at the bicycles outside.

"Bang——"

"Bang——" There

was a sound of knocking, old furniture and dismantled construction debris scattered on the ground.

Lin Yilan carefully avoided a few workers who were busy at work, found a deserted place and squatted down to dig up the things that had been dismantled from the building.

Although I don’t have deep knowledge of ancient architecture, the basic structure can still be discerned.

After a brief glance around, I found that a lot of things had been dismantled in this home, and it seemed that it was going to be overhauled.

She walked over to an almost complete window and knelt down, examining it carefully.

The carvings on it were still very clear, and it was obvious that the carving master's craftsmanship was not bad. Lin Yilan felt it was a pity that such a beautiful window was thrown away like garbage.

After thinking about it, she took out the cotton gloves from her pocket and lifted the window to an open space.

In the next two hours, Lin Yilan kept rummaging through the whole yard like a gold digger. This house was the one with the most complete and best-preserved furniture among the yards she had visited so many alleys in the past few days. of a family.

Not to mention too much, there were so many good things in the past.

Lin Yilan clapped her palms and shook off a lot of dust from her gloves, then stood contentedly with her hands on her hips and looked at what she had gained in the past two hours.

Wang Xing, who was waiting outside the door, was a little impatient. When she entered the yard, she saw something like a hill in front of her and let out a shout.

"Little sister?!"

"You're crazy, you took so much!"

Lin Yilan took out her ears and looked back calmly, "Fourth brother, help me go outside to see if there are any workers transporting goods."

Wang Xing pinched She squinted her nose and looked like her blood pressure was high, "Are you sure you want to take all these things back? Big brother will beat me if he knows!"

Lin Yilan touched her nose guiltily, "Then I won't go home first, I'll give it to Zhao Qiang Give the military family what they need first."

Wang Xing sighed, he really couldn't do anything about his family.

"Okay, okay, I'll find someone for you."

"If my eldest brother beats someone up after we go back, you have to save me."

Lin Yilan nodded pretending to be obedient.

After watching her fourth brother leave the yard, Lin Yilan looked at something half as tall as herself in front of her and touched the back of her head.

She couldn't bear to part with beautiful things that cost nothing, even if they were trash in the eyes of others...

"Xu——"

"I hope my parents won't come to my second sister's house recently."

She clenched her hands and prayed silently.

"Two comrades, we have arrived at the place you mentioned~"

Lin Yilan handed the money she had prepared in advance to the person whom the fourth brother had hired to deliver things to them.

The man pulling the cart took the money she handed over, spit on his hand, and counted the money again.

"The money is right.

If there is still life in the future, the two comrades can come to me again."

He said while helping Wang Xing unload the things on the cart.

Lin Yilan nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Shi Hongxing, who felt movement in the yard, walked out of the yard at this time. Seeing the situation in front of him, he immediately greeted the yard.

"Brothers, come out and help move things."

"Comrade Lin, here you are."

"Designer Lin!"

"Comrade Lin, long time no see."

Lin Yilan has long been accustomed to the enthusiasm of Shi Hongxing's team. She skillfully communicated with the people in front of her. They greeted each other, introduced the fourth brother, and also learned about the latest situation at the project site.

Wang Xing, who was standing aside, was a little surprised. This was his first time coming into contact with Xiao Wu's project. Looking at Xiao Wu who was so at ease in front of him, he felt as if he had seen a side of Xiao Wu that he had never seen before.

Wang Xing's observation was caught by Shi Hongxing opposite him. He saw that the two of them had somewhat similar faces, and he had a guess about their relationship.

"Designer Lin, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhao's friends are here today. Do you want to take a look at the current decoration situation at the battalion commander's home?" After guessing that Wang Xing was a relative of Lin Yilan, Shi Hongxing's eyes widened. It’s up to Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan patted the dust on her hands, "Okay, I just want to ask Uncle Zhao if the things I moved recently are up to standard."

"We have used a lot of the things you brought. Uncle Zhao was still sighing before. You have much better vision than his previous apprentice." Shi Hongxing easily picked up the things Lin Yilan had put on the ground.

Wang Xing glanced at this gay man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Is this guy trying to flatter Xiao Wu?

A group of people moved their things into Zhao Qiangjun's yard, chatting and laughing.

After entering the courtyard, Lin Yilan immediately felt the changes here. Faded pillars and broken window panes were all given a new look.

"Uncle Zhao, long time no see." After sighing, Lin Yilan said hello when she saw Zhao Sanli.

Zhao Sanli also took off his gloves and stood up to chat with Lin Yilan.

"How are they doing?" Lin Yilan learned about Shi Hongxing's team.

As early as some time ago, Shi Hongxing asked Lin Yilan to act as an intermediary, hoping that she would introduce the people in their team to Zhao Mutou so that they could learn from Zhao Sanli the skills of restoring ancient buildings.

After Lin Yilan asked Zhao Sanli and got his consent, she brought the two people together to formally get to know each other, but she didn't care about it afterwards.

If it weren't for the background of Shi Hongxing's team members, and considering their attitudes and abilities, Lin Yilan would never be troublesome.

Zhao Sanli took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth, "Yes, it's much better than I thought before."

"By the way, will the bathroom in this yard be built? Our current construction progress is basically based on yours. That plan is gone."

Lin Yilan was worried when she thought about it. She sighed, "I don't know. I asked Director Yang from the street two days ago. He didn't know the situation. He just said that it was still there. Discuss."

"But I heard what he meant, and he didn't mean to refuse. I feel that there is still hope for the bathroom."

Zhao Sanli took off the cigarette and put it on his ear, "Okay, you know it yourself. That's it. The old guys are not responsible for the bathroom construction, but I'm just reminding you."

Lin Yilan naturally knew, she nodded and showed a reassuring smile, "I'll wait a little longer, if it happens after three days. If there is no news, I will go directly to the Construction Bureau to ask about the situation."

Zhao Sanli clicked his lips. He admired this girl's temper and didn't know what to say. He just gave a thumbs up.

"Don't be too anxious. Those officials just like to procrastinate. It's normal." After thinking about it, he said more.

Lin Yilan hummed and said nothing more.

She knew very well that the bathroom issue could not be solved by them discussing and worrying here.

Taking a deep breath, she saw Wang Ersheng moving things out of the corner of her eye, and remembered what she wanted to say, "Uncle Zhao, there are some things I have moved these days that you don't need. Please help me tell Brother Qiangjun." , I will rent it for a while, and I will find someone to move it out in two days."

Zhao Sanli looked at her with a clear look, and winked at her, "I said, why is there a door? " I didn't say let it go."

"Okay, just leave it at Battalion Commander Zhao's house. When he and his wife come over, I'll tell them for you."

Lin Yilan made an OK gesture and lowered her voice. The voice said: "Uncle Zhao, you know this and I know it, don't let too many people know about it."

Zhao Sanli raised his hand to his mouth and made a zipper gesture, and said two words silently: "Don't worry. "

In the following days, Lin Yilan walked around the streets collecting things, looking for new projects, and waiting for the school's end-of-term notice.

Fortunately, it's not a difficult task, and Lin Yilan's multitasking will not delay her.

Good things come in pairs.

When Lin Yilan returned to school to get her final report card, she also received the good news from Shi Hongxing that the bathroom at Zhao Qiangjun's house had been approved.

This good news kept Lin Yilan in a good mood until she returned to school the next day.

Xiong Zhaodi was sitting in the classroom and saw Lin Yilan coming in from the door. She immediately stood up and waved.

"Xiao Lin, here."

Lin Yilan greeted back with a smile and sat next to Xiong Zhaodi.

Xiong Zhaodi saw the smile on her lips and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Xiao Lin, do you know your grades?"

Lin Yilan was stuffing her bag into the drawer. She moved her hands and looked up at Xiong Zhaodi, "No I know. Sister Zhaodi, do you know?"

Xiong Zhaodi nodded and waved to her to come over, "I was asked by the teacher to register the results a few days ago."

"And when I was registering the results, I also learned a piece of gossip about the previous temporary head teacher."

Lin Yilan approached Xiong Zhaodi, "What gossip?"

Xiong Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth in disbelief, "Xiao Lin, aren't you interested in your grades? ?"

Lin Yilan touched her chin, pretended to think for a while, and then laughed: "How is that possible! It's just that the teacher will be here later, I will know later, but the gossip will not be there once I miss it."

"Come on, come on, tell me quickly." When she talked about gossip, she immediately became excited and punched Xiong Zhaodi's arm, "Come on, tell me quickly."

Xiong Zhaodi sighed silently in her heart when she thought of yesterday's bet. Then he reluctantly told her what he had accidentally heard.

"I also heard about it in the office. I heard the teachers in our department talking about Senior Peng Junhua, saying that Senior Peng did something to anger Professor Wu. I heard that the two of them had a quarrel in the Academic Affairs Office."

" The reason seems to be that when Senior Sister Peng came out of Professor Wu's office, she broke the door of the office next to Professor Wu."

Lin Yilan was stunned when she heard this, why did this matter sound so familiar.

"By the way, your grade this time is the first in our department." Xiong Zhaodi was a person who couldn't hold back secrets, so she told Lin Yilan in advance.

"Oh."

"What?" Lin Yilan shouted. Seeing that she had attracted attention from everyone around her, she quickly lowered her voice and pointed at herself, "Am I the first in age?"

To put it narcissistically, after she finished the exam, she was probably sure that it would be okay if she was more modest with her results this time. Rank among the top five in the class. If you are proud, you can rank among the top three.

But when it came to winning first place, she felt there was too much uncertainty. Now she really didn't expect that she would actually win first place.

Although it was an old cucumber who applied the green paint, as a designer who has worked for many years, it was a bit shameless for her to go back to school to compete with college students, but she was still very happy to get the first place.

After all, she is only a freshman now, and there is a lot to endorse. She has put in a lot of effort to get this result.

Lin Yilan looked at Xiong Zhaodi in surprise and moved her mouth. She was happy that she got the first place in the grade, but also felt a little embarrassed because of the first place.

"Lin Yilan, Professor Wu called you to go to the office." The deputy monitor shouted after coming in from the door.

Suddenly everyone in the class stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Lin Yilan.

Professor Wu’s famous name in the Department of Architecture is well-known to everyone, and no one majoring in Architectural Design in the Class of ’79 is not curious about Professor Wu. So when did Lin Yilan meet Professor Wu?

Everyone in the class looked at each other with the same confusion in their eyes.

Only Xiong Zhaodi knew how Lin Yilan and Professor Wu met.

After Lin Yilan gestured to Xiong Zhaodi, she stood up, thanked the deputy monitor, and left the classroom.

At this time, a group of people sitting in the front row of the classroom looked at Lin Yilan's back and did not dare to express their anger.

They didn't speak until Lin Yilan disappeared from the classroom.

After a while, a person couldn't stand it and asked: "Brother Jianlin, when Brother Xuecheng comes to the classroom later, do we want to tell him what happened just now?"

Zhang Jianlin looked up at the speaker, then lowered his head again The head remained silent.

Han Zhifang glared at the person who spoke, "You are the only one who can speak."

The person who spoke at first glanced at the people next to him with an aggrieved look, then closed his mouth tightly, turned around and stopped talking to them. .

Han Zhifang became angry when he saw this man like this. Just when he was about to stand up and say something, he was pulled by Zhang Jianlin next to him.

"Brother Jianlin!"

Zhang Jianlin glanced at the back of the person who spoke before, "Shh, don't get angry with this kind of person."

"If the family knew about it, they would definitely talk about us again."

Han Zhifang sat down angrily. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and crossed his legs in a sloppy posture. "Then what should we do? Should we talk to Brother Xuecheng? "

What did you say?"

Ji Xuecheng stood behind them at some point.
