Seeing that Xiao Yuanhang did not speak, Cheng Lu thought he was dissatisfied and hurriedly explained: "Wu Xiaoli is not with me now. I am not with the same flight. The house she rented has expired. The house mainly increased its price, and once it rises, it will almost double the price, which makes her unacceptable. It just so happened that she and I are in the same class. I left her and she came back. When I came back, she left, so she would move to you and live with me. The burden at her house is quite heavy and it is not easy. I thought that if I moved away, your house was empty and it would be empty. Why not let her live there. This will not only reduce her burden, but also show you the house. Yuanhang, if you don't want it, I will let her move away."

Xiao Yuanhang sighed secretly in his heart, and had to say, "Cheng Lu, I don't have that intention at all. Anyway, I can't live for a few days a year. Sister Xiaoli can take care of me when she lives there, so she can save me money to find someone to take care of her."

Cheng Lu was relieved after hearing this, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Yuanhang, you just said how many days you were going to come to Beijing. Will you decide when you will come?"

Xiao Yuanhang said: "I am going to go on Friday at noon, and I will be able to go to Beijing on Saturday morning, finish the work, and come back on Sunday evening."

Cheng Lu immediately calculated her shift and said, "Yuan Voyage, I will not be back this Sunday afternoon. It will be too late to get home after leaving. We can't meet you at all!"

Xiao Yuanhang thought for a while and said, "Cheng Lu, then I'll take the noon bus on Saturday, arrive in Beijing on Sunday morning, go to do business during the day, and pick you up at night. I'll go back to Guhe on Monday night, so that I can squeeze out a day to accompany you."

Cheng Lu was very happy when she heard this and said, "Yuanhang, it's great! I'll make delicious food for you on Sunday night!"

Xiao Yuanhang laughed and said, "Okay, then we will decide!"

Considering that all the ministries and commissions in the capital were on Sundays, Xiao Yuanhang was afraid that he would not be able to see the house on Sunday, so he called Xu Wenye first. The negotiations for Xu Wenye to acquire Jibei Steel Company have reached a critical stage and are very busy every day. If you want to find him, you have to call him after 10 pm to find him.

"Who?" Xiao Yuanhang asked the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to give him a long distance at 10 o'clock in the evening. He waited until 10:20 not to get through. Fortunately, Xu Wenye had returned to the club and the sound on the phone was very tired.

Xiao Yuanhang said: "Little Fifth Brother, it's me, Xiao Yuanhang."

When Xu Wenye heard that it was Xiao Yuanhang, he sat up straight and spoke with a sense of energy: "It's Xiao Xiao, why are you calling so late?"

Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Wu. I can't find you even if I call you too early!"

Xu Wenye laughed and said, "That's right, I don't go back to the club these days after 10 pm."

Xiao Yuanhang said: "Brother Xiaowu, I want to go to Beijing this Sunday to see the courtyard you found for me, but I am afraid that the garden management office will not be able to see it on Sunday. My time is limited, so you can coordinate it."

Xu Wenye smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with. You can see the house whenever you want. I just want to say hello to the Garden Management Office."

Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "That's great. I can go to Beijing on Sunday morning, and when I get off the car, I go directly to see the house."

Xu Wenye said: "Okay, I'll pick you up at the station on Sunday, and then go to see the house together."

After going to work the next day, Xiao Yuanhang came to the office of the webmaster Zhou Jianguo. He said: "Webmaster Zhou, I have to go to Beijing on Sunday to deal with some things in the graduate class. I have to take a day off on Monday."

Zhou Jianguo smiled and said, "Can you come back in the capital so far in two days?"

Xiao Yuanhang said: "If things go well, you should be able to come back."

Zhou Jianguo said: "There is no such thing at the station now. If the matter is not finished, don't rush back. You can come back on Tuesday and Wednesday. Make the work arrangements before leaving."

When Xiao Yuanhang saw Zhou Jianguo thinking about him everywhere, he was very happy and said, "Okay, Webmaster Zhou, I will try to come back as soon as possible."

The shift meeting was arranged to Tang Zhenglin. Xiao Yuanhang boarded the train from Songjiang to Beijing at noon Sunday, and had nothing to say. He arrived in Beijing smoothly the next morning. Xu Wenye, Chang Jianhua and Xiao Lizi went to Xiao Yuanhang to pick him up at the station. After breakfast at a hotel near the station, Xiao Lizi drove directly to Dongcheng District.

The courtyard house that Xu Wenye found for Xiao Yuanhang is in the Hutong District, Dongcheng District. The car got off the main road and entered the Hutong District. In fact, the alleys in the old city were very spacious, but the residents here piled up a lot of dilapidated on the side of the road, making the road narrower. Some sections of the road were so narrow that they could not miss the car.

When I passed through the area of ​​the old Siheyuan, I couldn't help but lit up. The road ahead became wider. This area was the houses of officials from the late Qing Dynasty. Because these houses were allocated to various ministries and the Beijing Municipal Government. Except for the better preserved houses, there were no other people living there. Therefore, there were very few dilapidated things on the roadside. The car drove all the way to the innermost and stopped in front of a dilapidated house.

After getting off the car, Xu Wenye pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said, "Xiao Xiao, this is the courtyard I found!"

Xiao Yuanhang looked up and saw that the two wooden boards on the main door had cracked and spread out. A few new wooden boards were nailed to the outside but did not spread out. A large lock was hung in the middle of the door. There were almost no tiles on the door. Several broken half-tiles pressed on the top of the door, and below were yellow weeds and exposed loess. The blue bricks on the three steps in front of the front door were seriously lost, and they were almost no longer available.

There are walls more than two meters high on both sides of the gate. Several places have collapsed on the upper half of the walls on both sides. They were repaired with red bricks. The gray-black blue bricks and red bricks form a sharp contrast...

Xu Wenye looked at the watch and said, "I made an appointment with Chief Liu to see the house at 8 o'clock. There are still 15 minutes left. Let's take a look around. After walking around this courtyard, many walls around have collapsed, and they were repaired with red bricks. In some places, there were no cement ash on them. They were built directly with bricks and you had to pour them down with your hands!

After waiting for a while when Xiao Yuanhang came to a hurry on a bicycle. When Xu Wenye saw it, he said, "Secretary Liu is here."

Section Chief Liu rode to Xu Wenye and others and got out of the car, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Young Master Xu, I'm sorry, I've been delayed for a while when I sent my child to the cram school."

Xu Wenye waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Chief Liu, let's see the house."

Section Chief Liu took out the key and opened the lock. He pushed open half of the door with great effort. Xiao Yuanhang walked in and saw that although the first main room he entered was dilapidated, some window frames and door frames were gone, they were still standing. The wing rooms on both sides collapsed, and they were simply a pile of stones and rubble!
