The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 40 Candidates

The Forbidden City is very big, so big that Yang Dongxu, who is in his forties, starts to get dizzy after walking for a while. Fortunately, today Saturday, many people brought their children to see the imperial city, so they won't get lost, or get scared out of their wits when they walk into that gloomy side hall.

Yang Dongxu had never been to Yanjing before, and naturally he had never been to the Forbidden City, but in the era of the Internet explosion in later generations, there were many anecdotes about the Forbidden City that were circulated on the Internet. And the mainstream of the story is undoubtedly haunted, especially at night.

Walking in the palace full of vicissitudes of history, Yang Dongxu was deeply overwhelmed by the breath of history, walking around and feeling that his eyes were not enough. As for the saying that it is also gloomy during the day, I don't feel it, it may be because the sun is too big today.

Find a place to solve the three urgent needs, stop and go, eat some nuts or snacks in your mouth, until the two children leave the Forbidden City through the Meridian Gate in the south until the afternoon.

When he was at the Meridian Gate, Yang Dongxu stopped for a while to see what was so different about the place where Meridian Gate beheadings were launched in TV dramas and movies.

I didn't see bloodstains or anything. As for the undead, it might be broad daylight so they didn't appear. The old city bricks at the entrance are still old city bricks, and the stone slabs on the ground are also stone slabs. I don’t see anything unusual about it.

Not waiting for Wu Aibing, in this era when there are no mobile phones and watches are even more luxuries, if you want to make an appointment to meet at an exact time, you can only be like the ancients, "on the head of the willow on the moon, and make an appointment after dusk".

Both of them were very tired after walking for a day, so even if Wu Xue knew the way, Yang Dongxu still remembered the way when they came. As long as the two of them went around to the Shenwu Gate in the north, Yang Dongxu would be able to take Wu Xue home. But neither of them wanted to walk, so they called a cart. As for taking the bus, sorry Yang Dongxu and Wu Xue don't know which way to take.

"Old man Xuan, please help me find out a person who also lives in the east side of Mao'er Hutong. His name is Wu Aibing and he used to be a soldier." It was dusk when we returned to Mao'er Hutong, and Yang Dongxu sent Wu Xue home to the temple.

"Why ask about him?" Old man Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"Assembling bicycles, you can't find a suitable person, so inquire about this person's reputation, and let him do it if possible." Yang Dongxu said.

"Can he assemble bikes? Or have a way to sell them?"

"I don't know about this, but I can learn it if I don't know how to do it. There is no way to run slowly. No one is born to do business. It mainly depends on how people are. If the mind is not right, we can do everything, and we can't use it."

"That's the reason. Where did you go today? I haven't seen anyone all day looking for you." Old man Xuan nodded in agreement with Yang Dongxu's point of view.

"I went to the palace. I haven't visited the other side since I came here. I'll go and have a look today. What do you want from me?"

"Imperial Palace." The old man Xuan's expression was wrong for a moment, as if he was reminiscing about something, but Yang Dongxu didn't notice it, "Didn't you talk about buying a house last time? I have a letter today."

"What kind of house and where is it?"

"There are three regular main rooms and three side rooms. The yard is not small. I've seen it enough for you to play monkeys. But the distance is a bit far. It's in Dashamao Hutong over there." Old Man Xuan said.

"Where is Dashamao Hutong?" Yang Dongxu's face was confused.

"On Wangfujing Street, I have been to Yanjing for several months and I can't remember the way. After you go back, you have the nerve to say that you have been to Yanjing?" Old man Xuan glanced at Yang Dongxu.

"Wangfujing is a great place, how much is it?" Old man Xuan's contempt was directly ignored by Yang Dongxu.

What's wrong with Yanjing being so old that he can't remember the way? Besides, it's normal that I can't remember the way after I've only been here for a few months. Before being reborn, he stayed in Shenzhen for five or six years. Apart from working and renting a house, he didn't even know where Dapeng's city gate was, so he could still live well.

"The price of more than five hundred is a bit high."

"It's not high, it's not high. Take the money to see it tomorrow, and take it if you can." Yang Dongxu said a little excitedly.

For more than 500 yuan, want to buy a not-so-small house in Wangfujing? What a joke, in a few years you won't even be able to buy a stall, let alone a house, so you have to take it down.

"You didn't earn the love money, you don't feel bad, do you?" The old man Xuan, who was very indifferent to money, gave Yang Dongxu a slap because he didn't know what was wrong today and committed a stingy temper.

Yang Dongxu was beaten into a cloud, but he was too lazy to care about the old man Xuan who had become neurotic recently. This is a typical lack of love, plus senile menopausal syndrome. He pondered whether to find a wife for old man Xuan.

The one he believes in is one who can eat meat, and it should be no problem to marry a wife. Although he is over seventy, old man Xuan knows how to keep healthy. He looks younger than sixty-year-olds, so finding a wife should not be a big problem.

Old man Xuan was thinking about how to lower the price in the past tomorrow. After all, houses are everywhere now, and there are not many people who buy them. If they need houses, they are waiting for the unit to distribute them. This is all the hard-earned money earned by that girl Zhou Ya who was greedy early in the morning, save as much as she can, and definitely don't listen to that prodigal son Yang Dongxu.

And Yang Dongxu was gossiping in his heart, if the old man Xuan married another wife, would he have a second life? If the old man Xuan who was sitting next to him knew these dirty thoughts in his heart, he wondered if he would slap him to death.

After helping Zhou Ya close the stall early the next morning, together with Wu Xue, a follower, the four of them called a cart and rushed to Dashamao Alley.

The yard is indeed a good yard. Although the walls are peeling off a lot, it can be easily repaired without major repairs. The old man Xuan has carefully checked that the beams and the like are not eaten by moths, so he can move in after a simple cleaning.

The person who bought the house was a middle-aged man, and he felt very kind. He said that the unit had allocated a house in Xicheng, and the area was not small. Their family had already moved there for half a year, and they watched the old house fail day by day. So I decided to make a move.

One was willing to sell and the other was willing to buy, so he bargained casually for 480 yuan and made the deal. Yang Dongxu began to carry Zhou Yiren's identity certificate, household registration booklet, and work permit in his arms. The materials were complete.

So the group went directly to the housing management office to transfer the account. At this time, the procedures for buying a house are very simple. You have to file a case with the Housing Management Bureau and sign a signature to complete the transfer procedures. Of course, the homeowner must be present.

Zhou Yiren naturally asked old man Xuan to do it for him, and the reason given was that Zhou Yiren was too busy to do this. Those who sell houses must be exiled to prevent people from maliciously buying and selling, or thieves stealing some household registration and land deeds.

There are no strict regulations on the arrival of the head of the household of the person who buys a house, as long as the documents are complete. After all, you bought the house with money, so how can you use a false identity to fool the Housing Authority? At that time, if there is any real estate dispute in the house, wouldn't you put yourself in a trap? So before Zhou Yiren knew it, he was represented.

So it was already afternoon when everything was done. Old man Xuan opened the door with the key given by the previous owner, threw the old lock into the room, locked the door with the newly bought lock, and the group turned around and went home.

The house has not been lived in for a long time, so tomorrow I need to find someone to paint the walls, clean it, and then sprinkle some medicine in it to drive away poisonous insects, snakes and ants before I can live in it for a few days. This matter was naturally left to the old man Xuan, thinking that Yang Dongxu would go to school tomorrow.

Inquiring about what kind of person Wu Aibing is, soon came the news, as Yang Dongxu expected, Wu Aibing was fine. After all, a person who gave up his future to take care of his mother and retired early, and who dared to shake his fist at the factory manager's relatives in the factory couldn't be worse, not to mention he was so willing to help others.

However, Wu Aibing was fine, but encountered a little problem when moving. Although Zhou Yiren was not angry about being represented to buy a house, he was unwilling to move, and he would not let Yang Dongxu move.

The reason is naturally that Yang Dongxu's final exam is coming soon, and Dashamao Hutong is too far away from where he goes to school, so he can't just transfer to another school before finishing a semester, right?

And Zhou Ya didn't seem to want to give up the word-of-mouth she had accumulated so hard at the woolen mill, and went to Wangfujing to sell buns, so she didn't want to leave either.

Yang Dongxu couldn't refute Zhou Yiren's reasons, but Zhou Ya was speechless because he didn't want to move because the steamed stuffed buns were selling well in front of the wool spinning factory.

Where is Dashamao Hutong? That's Wangfujing, does Wangfujing know? Now you can just occupy a stall and write your name on the housing management office. In later generations, you may not be able to earn the money for the land occupied by that stall if you sell buns for a lifetime.

None of them were willing to go there, even the old man Xuan seemed a little reluctant to part with the small courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years. Naturally, Yang Dongxu couldn't go there alone.

So the newly bought house can only be used as a warehouse after it is cleaned up. Some tables, chairs and benches that the old man took back in his hut and a few good-looking porcelains were sent to the new house.

But the good thing is that although Yang Dongxu was a little depressed about the move, he really found the right person for Wu Aibing. Let’s not talk about his good character, but he has quite a network of relationships even though he rides a scooter every day. This is a surprise that Yang Dongxu didn’t expect.

These networks are naturally those of Wu Aibing's comrades in arms. Although he retired early, many veterans he knew before him had already retired and worked in Yanjing, and there were also a few comrades who retired due to disabilities.

Soldiers retiring these years, especially those who have participated in battles in the field army and have meritorious service, are assigned real positions.

Therefore, Yang Dongxu's very troublesome problem of bicycle bills can be easily solved. Just find a machinery factory and hang it below. At the same time, the purchase of bicycle parts is also solved, and the purchases are all complete sets. So Yang Dongxu changed his previous idea of ​​preparing to make up random brands.

Of course, this complete set does not include all the bicycle wheels and everything else. After you get it back, you can assemble it casually and sell it.

This complete set refers to a complete set of parts. For example, the rim is the rim, the rod is the rod, and even the steel balls in the bearing are separated from the bearing. Therefore, the technical requirements for assembling a bicycle with such parts are quite high.

I am looking for collection recommendations, book friends who have recommendations hope to support them, thank you!
