Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: 71.A trip to the imperial capital

As soon as Li Muwu finished speaking, everyone suddenly laughed. Mrs. Li glanced at Li Muwu angrily, not knowing what to say about him: "How can I leave you home? You are retired. It’s been a few months, don’t delay, go through the retirement formalities in advance, and let Mingguang from the third family take your class. It’s best if he can go to college in the future, and if he doesn’t pass the exam, he can have a serious job.”

Li Musen scratched his head beside him, and smiled at Li Muwu a little embarrassedly: "Well, I thank the fourth brother for my second boy."

Has Li Muwu come back to his senses: "Then I'll quit?"

"No, no." Zhen Zhen immediately said with a smile: "Just follow your daughter and I will go to the imperial capital to enjoy happiness."

Li Muwen's family was startled by a family of college students before they even said anything about the courtyard house when they got home. Li Muwen said a few good words again and again, and looked excited as if he had been admitted to a university. University, especially the two schools of National University and Imperial College, can be described as the childhood dream of most Chinese people.

Li Muwen did not go to school when he was a child. He still followed the political commissar to recognize some words when he was in the war. After liberation, he went to night school, and then to the military school.

There is no difference if there is a culture during the war. Li Muwen realized the difference when he went to the military school to study military research and strategic research. Therefore, when he returned to his hometown that year, in order to make the family more talented, he directly transferred Mingxi to the best high school in Bingcheng, just so that he could be admitted to the military school. Li Muwen's own two sons are also college students who graduated from the military academy. They already have positions at a young age and have a promising future in the army.

The two sons of Li Muwen's family, Ming Jun and Ming Ji, were both born after liberation. At that time, Li Muwen's position was not low, so the Ming Jun and Ming Ji brothers had a good life and educational environment since childhood. Li Muwen felt that the environment and schools that the five children of Li Muwu’s family grew up in were definitely not as good as those of the Ming Army and Ming Ji. Under such circumstances, all five of Li Muwu’s children were admitted to universities, which shows how many A child is usually more solid and hard-working when he goes to school.

Li Muwen brought out the Maotai brought by Ming Jun: "This is the biggest happy event of our old Li family, we have to celebrate today, and when we return to the imperial capital after the new year, my mother will bring the third brother and one I live in my house, and let me be filial and filial to you.”

Li Muwen's wife Xue Wenhua frowned slightly and didn't speak when she heard this. She is not someone who dislikes her hometown, but this family of six or seven people can't be stuffed at home. It's really frustrating to be together.

Although Mrs. Li didn't see Xue Wenhua's expression, she refused: "No need, we, the old and the young, live in your house and Wenhua is tired, and we are not comfortable. When you came back last year for the New Year, Zhen Zhen brought two large yellow croakers dug from the mountains and asked you to buy a house, did you buy it?"

Mr. Li's family must first settle in the courtyard when they arrive in the imperial capital. Mrs. Li simply explained the words clearly and let everyone know that it was Zhen Zhen's house.

Li Muwen hadn't spoken yet, when the whole family fry the pot again: "Big yellow croaker? Big yellow croaker is a gold bar, right?" Li Musen asked dumbfounded: "We've only heard of this stuff but haven't seen it before, mother, why didn't you give it to us before? What does it look like?"

"What does it look like? What's so good about Huang Chengcheng's appearance." Mrs. Li blocked her back: "Besides, what does this have to do with you guys? I'm going to put it down today, this big yellow croaker has already asked for it. The boss bought a house for the money, and wrote the name of Zhen Zhen directly. No one should make a crooked idea, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhang Chunhua looked at Mrs. Li's stern eyes, her lips moved, and she wanted to swallow the words, but she was really unwilling: "How old is she, shouldn't she be at home if she picked up the big yellow croaker? Really give her a child?"

"It's really what she can do!" Old lady Li looked at her and sneered: "If you're not convinced, you can dig it up the mountain. How much you dig is yours, and we won't share it with you." /

Looking at Zhang Chunhua's black face, Wang Xinwen happily ran along with the noodles in her arms: "Mingbei, hurry up and find a shovel and a basket for the old aunt, wait for the old aunt to go to the mountain to dig for gold. "

Li Mulin glared at Zhang Chunhua, and quickly said with a smile: "Mother, you know that Mingshu's mother has this kind of virtue, don't know her in general."

Seeing that the fourth uncle was a little embarrassed, Zhen Zhen quickly changed the subject: "Uncle, is the house you helped me buy a kind of courtyard house?"

"Yes, there is a lake in the imperial capital, and the boss is inside." Li Muwen said: "Everyone was cleaned up, but I didn't expect you to live so soon, and only had people clean up, furniture, bedding, etc. I haven't done it yet."

Zhen Zhen was so excited when she heard this, she quickly dragged Mrs. Li and asked, "Ma, when are we going?"

Mrs. Li thought about it, Zhen Zhen will start school in March, so she has to tidy up the house before, she asked Ming Dong to bring the calendar over to look at the date, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Let's leave early. , I will go out on the tenth day of the first day, so I don’t delay Zhen Zhen going to school.”

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the old Li family packed out more than a dozen large sacks. They had to bring rice, noodles, and oil. After all, the food relationship was in their hometown, and they could not buy food in the imperial capital. They also have to carry them, and now there are no ready-made quilts for sale. Although Zhen Zhen looked at the headache of the big bag and the small bag, she didn't dare to help the receiving space rashly. After all, there were too many people and it was easy to see the flaws. Although you may not be able to guess things such as space, you will be thinking about something if you don't have it.

The family carried a large and small bag on the train, and even Ming Jun and Ming Ji helped carry a sack of grain. When they arrived in the imperial capital, Mingxi brought Mingbei, Wang Xinwen and noodles to his house, while Mrs. Li took Li Muwu, Wang Sufen and Zhen Zhen to live in Li Muwen's house temporarily.

Knowing that Li Muwu and the others were only cooking in their own house for a while, Xue Wenhua regained his enthusiasm. When he got home, he asked the orderly to help put things in the basement first, and then took them to the bathhouse in the compound to take a bath.

After a short rest for a day, Zhen Zhen couldn't wait to see her courtyard house, thinking that in her previous life she could only squat at the entrance of the courtyard house and drool, but in this life she could have one, it was like a dream.

The military compound is not very far from Houyang. Li Muwen led Mrs. Li and Li Muwu's family on a mighty walk to Houyang. It was still the first month of the year, the weather was cold, and there were not many people visiting Houyang. Mrs. Li looked at this delicate lake and smashed her mouth: "It's much narrower than our Nanda River, and it's not too deep to look at. Can there be fish in it?"

Li Muwen laughed dumbly and said, "The Yongcui River can be merged into Heijiang in the end. There is nothing comparable between the two."

Ms. Li sighed in disappointment: "My family Zhen Zhen has no other hobbies, she just likes going up and down the mountains and rivers. I saw that the Imperial Capital Mountain is not high and the water is very deep. She will have no place to play in the future. What's up."

Zhen Zhen was embarrassed to hold Mrs. Li's arm: "Damn, I will go to school seriously in the future, and I can't always play truant and run around like before."

"Look at it, I missed it, I knew that you were designated to play truant before." Mrs. Li laughed like she caught Zhen Zhen's pigtail: "I went to your school one time to party. I can't see you from the window."

Zhen Zhen sneered, and quickly pretended to be very curious about everything around her: "Master, where is that courtyard house?"

Li Muwen pointed to the front: "That's the house."

Mr. Li opened her mouth wide when she looked at the tall door: "Oh, such a big door, there must be four or five rooms inside."

Li Muwen smiled and took the key to open the door, then handed the key to Zhen Zhen, smiled and said, "You have to add a zero at the back, this yard used to be part of a county prince's mansion, and now it's left inside. A four-way house facing the middle and a small garden at the back.”

Mr. Li's legs softened when she heard this: "Oh, this is the palace of the past? Then can we live here?" She looked around alertly, and asked Li Muwen in a low voice, "Will it be possible? Will you be criticized/fighted?"

"No, mother." Li Muwen helped her into the hanging flower door and walked in: "That time has passed, and there will be no more bad things, you will live here, and you will have a better life in the future. ."

Lady Li was relieved, she took Zhen Zhen's hand and walked across the veranda. This palace has not been damaged, and the things inside are well preserved. Even the pattern on the top of the veranda is clearly visible. Although the wooden pillars on both sides have faded, they still look very stylish.

Pushing open the door of the main courtyard, the bogu shelf and canopy bed inside have been wiped clean, Zhen Zhen jumped on it immediately, and her eyes straightened when she touched the exquisite patterns on the canopy bed: "This is a genuine product. Antique."

Li Muwen suddenly laughed: "Zhen Zhen is young and knows a lot, even antiques."

Zhen Zhen smiled shyly: "There used to be a lot of books from the waste collection station, and this was mentioned above. Uncle, does every room have furniture?"

Li Muwen shook his head: "The canopy bed in the main room is the most stylish, the other rooms are basically empty, but there is a back room with a canopy bed in the back, which is more beautiful, but not as big, I guess it is A boudoir for girls."

Li Muwu was at a loss as he stood inside: "There are too many rooms in this compound. I need to light a few stoves in winter, and there is no mountain to drag firewood. Do I have to buy coal?"

Wang Sufen, who was originally excited and looked around, calmed down when she heard this: "How can I fix it? We can't get the coal ticket."

Li Muwen immediately laughed when he heard the words: "I was just about to tell you about this, but some of the courtyards in this area have been requisitioned by the state, and some have been allocated to individuals. Because this area is rather special, the documents were filed a few years ago. I asked for opinions, and asked if I would like to install radiators uniformly. After installing it, it will be very warm in winter without burning coal to burn the kang house.

Old Mrs. Li hadn't thought about it yet, she just listened to Zhen Zhen and replied: "Install, install it in every room, how much does it cost?"

"I don't need to pay for the installation of pipes, but I have to pay for the heating later." Li Mu's document: "There is still some money left to buy a house. I will give it to you later."

The whole family walked around this big house from beginning to end, and when Zhen Zhen saw that the rockery of Taihu Lake in the garden was still intact, she didn't know what to say: "Master, you bought this one. It's not just a courtyard, it's a mansion."

Li Muwen was amused by Zhen Zhen: "Anyway, this one was the best one left at that time, and you were just in time for it."

When she came out of the courtyard, Mrs. Li was anxious to move out and asked Li Muwen, "Is there any carpenter who can make furniture? It's better not to buy a ticket or something?"

Li Muwen has only been in the imperial capital for two years, and he is not very familiar with this area. He turned around and asked the orderly, who shook his head: "They are all bought in shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives." It's half cold, and neither of these two places can be used without tickets.

Zhen Zhen rolled her eyes and walked beside Mrs. Li to discuss with her: "I'll go around and see if there is a junk market selling old furniture or something."

Once Mrs. Li heard it, she quickly grabbed her hand: "That's not good. It's the first time you go out in the imperial capital, so what if you lose it."

"Honey, I'm a college student, and I will go to school alone in the future. I happen to be familiar with the imperial capital, so I can show you around in the future." Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "Besides, I will ask about my uncle's house. Everyone knows the place, I can't get lost."

Li Muwen said a few words to the orderly after hearing this, and several orderlies and guards took out some solidarity from their pockets and handed them to Li Muwen. Li Muwen counted about 500 yuan and directly gave it to Zhen Zhen: "You are an adult, and you are the No. 1 student in the college entrance examination in the black province. The uncle believes in you. If you go around on your own, you should consider it as exercise. If you can't buy it, I'll find a way for you."

Zhen Zhen took the money in surprise and gave Li Muwen a military salute playfully: "Promise to complete the mission." Li Muwen smiled and left an orderly to help Zhen Zhen lead the way, so he took the others away.

Watching Li Muwen and his group walk away, Zhen Zhen started to think about the decoration of the courtyard, so that the real old house should match those antique furniture, but thinking about his own weak foundation, if you really want to put the quality of the space The perfect huanghuali, nanmu, and red sandalwood furniture are too eye-catching. It is better to buy some from the waste collection station first, and then talk about the others later.

Consciousness first swept around several waste collection stations, but found a few places with furniture. She pretended not to know and asked the orderly next to her: "Where is the nearest waste collection station?"

The orderly pointed in a direction, which is exactly where Zhen Zhen looked before.

The two spent a day going around the nearby waste collection station. Zhen Zhen had not visited the imperial capital for two years for the college entrance examination, but she found a lot of good things. At the end of the day, Zhen Zhen bought five chairs with broken legs, some made of nanmu, also some huanghuali, and some red sandalwood and nanmu that looked like they had fallen from somewhere, and they also bought them home.

I thought I could only find this kind of thing, but what surprised Zhen Zhen was that she actually saw a dark purple copper stove from a pile of wood, no matter the color, the base model, or the details, it looked like a Xuande stove .

Zhen Zhen bought a Xuande stove in the Bai family's collection in Bingcheng, but it was only dark brown, and this was only dark purple. Carefully wiped the dirt on it with her sleeve, Zhen Zhen's eyes were bright as if they would shine: "Comrade, I have chosen."

After a day of running around the streets, the orderly accompanied Zhen Zhen back to Li's house in the evening, and went up to report to Li Muwen: "I only bought some tattered tables and chairs and a bunch of useless tatters."

"Useless junk?" Li Muwen leaned on the back of the chair: "What kind of thing?"

"Dirty copper stoves, broken pieces of wood, some messy seals, inkstones, etc., fortunately, they were all bought from a waste collection station, and they are not worth much." The orderly said honestly.

Li Muwen smiled lightly: "You just keep her safe, and don't worry about the others."

Li Muwen thought very well, who would have thought that Zhen Zhen dumped the orderly the next day. In the words of the orderly, he ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Zhen Zhen wandered the streets and alleys of the imperial capital for seven or eight days, and finally cleaned up the main house and the east and west wing of the main courtyard. There is a canopy bed on the side of the main house for Mrs. Li to live in, and the west room is the house where Li Muwu and Wang Sufen live. Zhen Zhen put out a mahogany bed from the Republic of China in the foreign building, which looks generous and elegant. Eye-catching. There were many mahogany boxes in the western-style building, and they were all moved out, and two were placed in one room.

Zhen Zhen in the east wing is going to live in the Mingbei family. It is a foreign bed that Su Weiran and the others have used for ten years in the mountain nest. Because of the age, the bed looks a little old, but in fact these are imported goods bought from overseas by ice city capitalists, and they are soft and comfortable to lie on.

Zhen Zhen lives in the west wing, except for a shelf and two boxes, she doesn't put anything in it. She plans to find someone to move the canopy bed in the back room to her own room.

I heard that Zhen Zhen tidy up the house neatly by herself, the whole family couldn't wait to come over, when Mrs. Li saw that she also had a bed and a box, she immediately made a decision: "I will bring the bedding and food here, and I will be here today. live here."

Li Muwen hurriedly persuaded her: "Mother, you have only lived in my house for less than ten days. If you let outsiders find out and think I'm not filial, why do you have to live for another month."

"But I don't feel comfortable living there." Mrs. Li said honestly: "Although your house has a small yard, you can't grow vegetables in a place the size of a palm. I don't like to stay. You Look how good this place is, there is such a big piece of land in the back, I will plant vegetables when spring begins."

Zhen Zhen's brain made up for the scene of a pile of Chinese cabbage beside the Taihu Stone, and silently covered her eyes.

Li Muwen is convinced that the old lady is so angry: "The food we eat in our family is given away, so there is no need to buy it."

Old Mrs. Li pouted: "It's delicious to grow by myself."

Actually, Mrs. Li doesn't really eat the vegetables she grows. It's just that she and her eldest daughter-in-law haven't seen each other a few times. Mrs. Li, who is polite to each other living together, feels very awkward. It's different like Wang Sufen. The two have been with each other for a lifetime, and they have adapted to each other. They have similar personalities and tastes, and they have a good relationship like a mother and daughter.

Seeing that Mrs. Li had to move over, Li Muwen had to have someone pull over the bedding and food with the help of a car. He also brought daily necessities such as a gas stove, pots and pans, pots and pans, pots and pans, enamel jars, stoves, etc. People brought bags of coal and some vegetables.

That night, Mrs. Li was lying on the big bed covered with a thick quilt and couldn't sleep with excitement. When she woke up the next day, she couldn't open her eyes: "I was so excited when I thought I was sleeping in the king's bed. I can't sleep, what the hell, Zhen Zhen, or let's move the bed and find someone to build a kang for me."

Zhen Zhen: "..."

***

Everyone has settled down at home, and soon the school starts soon. Ming Bei, Wang Xinwen, and Zhen Zhen went to the school to report together. There are trams in the emperor. The place where they live and the school are famous places. There are stop signs, and it is very convenient to travel.

The west gate of National University and the east gate of Imperial College are diagonally opposite, so Mingbei was not in a hurry to go to school and decided to help Zhen Zhen and Wang Xinwen go through the formalities first. Today's Imperial University looks a lot more vicissitudes than when Zhen Zhen traveled to the end in her previous life, but it also has more charm.

Zhen Zhen and Wang Xinwen are not from the same department, so the dormitory is not on the same floor. Zhen Zhen's dormitory is 201, a room facing south. It was noon at this time, and the warm sunlight poured in, and the whole body was warm.

Zhen Zhen chose the bottom bunk by the window, and wiped the bed with a basin of water. When there was no one in the room, she did not lay the mattress first, but took out a goose feather mattress from the space. Spread it on the bottom, and put your own mattress on top. Zhen Zhen found a bed sheet with floral foundation and changed it into a curtain from the space, and surrounded her bed, so that when she went to bed at night, no matter what she did, she would be more secretive.

Zhen Zhen tidied up the house, and Wang Xinwen over there was also tidied up. The three of them met from the stairwell and were about to go to the National University to have a look. Not long after they left the dormitory area, one of them was carrying a suitcase and wearing a Chinese tunic suit. The boy hurried over: "Let's ask you, classmate, where does the law department report go?"

Wang Xinwen smiled immediately: "We are in the same department. I just finished reporting. You can see the registration office when you go from here to the other side of the lake."

"Thank you, classmate." After the boy thanked him, he hurriedly left with his luggage.

Wang Xinwen and Ming Bei walked a few steps and suddenly realized that Zhen Zhen was not following: "Hurry up, what do you want?"

Zhen Zhen swallowed her saliva and trembled a little: "I suddenly remembered that a large part of our students in this class should become the great talents in the future." Looking at Ming Bei's blank eyes, Zhen Zhen was in I muttered silently in my heart: "Even the future second-in-command is my classmate, so what should I be afraid of."

Until the three of them entered the West Gate of NUS, before they reached the registration site, a more familiar person entered Zhen Zhen's eyes, Zhen Zhen couldn't help but start to imagine: Maybe my future will be the same Awesome existence.
