Chapter 842 The House that Will Disappear in the Future

Happy times are always short. Han Li has rested for more than two weeks without realizing it. If he doesn't go to school and show up in front of the teacher this week, it would be really unreasonable.

On Monday morning, Han Li came back from boxing outside and had breakfast with his family. He rode his bicycle with Yun Yingying, and He Mi and Hou Yuhua followed him. The four of them started going to school together again.

Han Li went to school to meet Teacher Niu first, and returned to the classroom after being told.

After returning to the classroom, the classmates greeted each other for a long time. Finally, Han Li once again refused the deputy monitor's proposal to hand over the class affairs to him on the grounds that he had to review and prepare for the exam.

From this day on, Han Li spent most of his time mechanically flipping through books, except for listening carefully to the public classes and taking all the notes.

(In this era, you must listen carefully to the public courses, whether you are going to take the postgraduate entrance examination or not, and make sure your score is not too low.

Because this course is mostly about ** elections, the latest current affairs and related policies, if you don't listen carefully and get a bad score, it means that your thoughts and cognition are not up to standard, and at least you will be re-examined)

Every morning in the classroom, Han Li will move to the library after lunch with Yun Yingying, He Mi and others. Whether he is sitting in the classroom or the library, he basically holds a book and lowers his head to read very seriously.

In fact, Han Li's state is because he has invested his mental power in the more than 30 square meters of yellow sand in the vast peach garden.

Here, he uses mental power to control firewood, charcoal, and medicine pots to prepare "stretching pain relief cream", "skin rejuvenation cream", "power pills" and other commonly used medicinal materials little by little.

When the school bell rang, Han Li met up with Yun Yingying and others and went home together, talking and laughing.

But the days of riding a bicycle happily and freely on the streets had to end with the increasing wind and sand.

Once the yellow sand in the old city blows up, even if you wear sunglasses, headscarves, and masks, you will be covered in sand after riding a circle. To exaggerate, there are two cents of sand in the spit, and if you blow a big nose, you can build a step.

It is very dirty and tiring. The key is that they can't ride and chat like before in this environment. They can only pedal hard to hurry.

So Han Li and his friends changed to taking the bus to school, and each of them got a monthly ticket for this.

The monthly ticket in this era was also very simple, divided into four types: urban, suburban, student, and employee.

Among them, the monthly ticket for urban students is 3 yuan per month, and the monthly ticket for employees is 4 yuan per month.

In order to distinguish the two monthly tickets in the city and suburbs, the monthly ticket for suburban buses is printed with the two big words "general". The monthly ticket for students is 4 yuan per month, and the monthly ticket for employees is 5 yuan per month.

Although Han Li and his college students are big and old, they can still enjoy the benefits of student monthly tickets with their student ID cards.

So Han Li and his friends began to squeeze into the bus every day, riding two large buses connected together to travel between Mianhua Hutong and Yanda.

But there are all kinds of situations on the buses in the suburbs. Passengers with chickens, ducks, cats, sheep, and dogs can also get on the bus, which makes the bus smell very bad. Fortunately, the temperature is still low now, and it is not the worst season yet.

However, Han Li and his friends staggered their school and home time with the peak time of riding a bus a little bit, and since the bus is heading to the suburbs, they did not encounter any overcrowding.

But since taking the bus to school, they spend more time on the road every day.

It took them less than an hour to get home (to school) by riding a bicycle through the streets and alleys, but now it takes at least one and a half hours to take the bus, and occasionally this time will be extended if something else happens, and this does not include the time for reversing.

Even if they ride a bicycle and take the same route as the bus, the speed of the bus cannot catch up with the bicycle.

Not to mention that it costs 16 yuan per month for four people to go to school by bus. With this money, according to the current rent, even a good small western-style house can be rented in Dongjiaominxiang. So Han Li felt more and more unhappy after taking the bus for two days.

So Han Li came to the supply and marketing cooperative he had visited some time ago during class time again and found the saleswoman who promised to help him find a house last time.

Last time Han Li was just trying his luck, just looking at his face and talking, this time when he came, the saleswoman brought a cloth bag of dried black fungus, hazel mushrooms and other mountain products.

Under the triple attack of looking at her face, talking and gifts, the saleswoman helped Han Li find out about two houses on the third day.

One is a dilapidated two-story building on the east side of the north road of Yan University. It is said that it was built by a very famous professor in the 1930s. The house is large and the courtyard is large. The disadvantage is that it is too remote, and those who want to move in need major renovations.

The second one is the south gate of Yanda University, a small courtyard at the west end of Laohudong Hutong, southeast of Junjichu Hutong. The three small rooms in the north and the two large rooms in the east were originally the storefront. There is a shed on the west side. There is a dry toilet in the yard, so you don’t have to squeeze into the public toilet with others every day.

(No need to check, these two alleys are almost gone now. Even if there are still remnants, the layout has changed a lot.)

The Military Aircraft Department Hutong and Laohudong Hutong have some origins. During the Kangxi period of the former Puppet Dynasty, a royal garden "Changchun Garden" was built near today's Yanda University to "avoid noise and manage politics".

During the ten-year period of the war, the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned down not only the Old Summer Palace, but also the Changchun Garden, which was used to avoid noise and govern politics.

During the former Puppet Dynasty, the emperor wanted to go here to "avoid the noise and conduct political affairs", and those relatives of the emperor, hard-core farmers, and important ministers had to follow, so that they could bathe in heaven's grace at any time.

However, the emperor's relatives and the Manchu ministers built large courtyards here.

But those Han ministers could not. They could only build a small courtyard so that they could respond to the emperor's call at any time. The alley where the Han ministers originally built the courtyard was called the Military Aircraft Department Alley.

There are relatives of the emperor and some ministers here, and many businessmen opened their shops here. This place is Laohudong Alley, but its name comes from the fact that those businessmen specially placed a tiger statue at the entrance of the alley to ward off evil spirits. .

Back then, there were really many businesses on both sides of Laohu Cave. There were all kinds of teahouses, teahouses, wine shops, pastry shops, pharmacies, and restaurants. Most of them were high-end shops.

After Han Li listened to the saleswoman talking about the two houses, he thought to himself that he couldn't keep that dilapidated two-story building. This was not the same as buying a courtyard house in the city.

After Han Li bought the courtyard house, he could put it there. After the country introduced the commercialization of housing in two years, it didn't matter how he wanted to decorate and organize it.

However, Han Li wanted to move into the house near Yanda immediately, and the combination of buying a house and renovating it was a bit too eye-catching.

So now all that is left is this small courtyard in Laohu Hutong. Although this place will be demolished in the future, I will no longer need to live here by then. During the demolition, I can still rent out a few houses.

So Han Li followed the saleswoman to Tiger Alley to take a look at the house. What should I say? The layout of the house is similar to the one he bought when he was working at the Northeast County Hospital. The yard is incomparable, except that there is an extra water pipe.

However, this house is really close to Yanda University. It can be reached within a few minutes' walk at most after exiting the south gate.

Moreover, this house actually had a fire pit, which surprised Han Li very much.

You must know that although Sijiucheng is in the north, there are not many rooms with fire pits.

This is because the quota of coal stamps allocated to each household in the past few years was too small. In the two years when the quota was the lowest, apart from the daily consumption for cooking, it was not easy to keep warm at night. I could only watch the stove until midnight. extinguished.

After that, there were several consecutive rat eradication activities. The unburnable fire pit became the best hiding place for rats, which also led most people to dismantle the fire pit.

Why not burn firewood? Since the period of the former Puppet Dynasty, except for the hills and royal gardens with owners that can barely remain green, almost all other places around the Forty-Nine City have been bare, including the hills on the side of the Badaling Great Wall. The same situation exists, because other places Most of the trees have been cut down and used as firewood.

As for those royal gardens and main hills, who dares to go in and cut firewood? If you are caught, the Nine Clans will kill you without any discussion.

During the reign of Little Red Dot and Bald Head, these royal gardens were also regarded as places for their own enjoyment, and no one dared to come to chop wood.

Ordinary people who want to make a fire for cooking can only buy it. Whether selling coal or firewood, the owners behind it are not ordinary people.

Even if the former pseudo-dynasty is replaced by a little red dot, and then a bald head, the same is true. These businesses are not something ordinary people can get involved in, and they will not allow ordinary people to cut down their own trees at will, or dig up their own trees at will. coal mine.

So, those big guys who traveled through the Forty-Nine City in certain eras often went into the mountains to hunt? May I ask where the mountains and prey come from? Are you a die-hard cropper? A wealthy businessman? Is he the lackey of Little Red Dot, or the J officer under the leadership of the bald head?

Later on, everyone who understands this will understand.

After 50 years of this situation, the commander-in-chief ordered a large-scale planting of trees, and the surrounding hills gradually became green.

Therefore, if the fire bed in Tiger Alley can be preserved, it is probably because of the light of the rural countryside. Even if there are not many trees that can be cut down, there are crop straws in the ground, and you can go to the wild to pick up some branches and cut some weeds. It can make the fire warm up.

After Han Li looked around, he took the salesperson aside to avoid the original owner and started discussing in a low voice.
