Ye Fan explained to her that her family knew that she voluntarily put the house in Ye Fan's name, but outsiders didn't know. There are so many people in the real estate bureau. If any of the staff members' relatives know them, if the staff members tell their relatives, and the relatives tell the neighbors, people who don't know the truth will definitely think that she has been deceived by Ye Fan.
Having said that, Yu Wentao was still a little unhappy: "I'm not unreasonable, you can tell me in advance."
Can you tell me in advance that I will kill first and then tell you later? Ye Fan cursed in his heart. He first praised her for being reasonable, and then said, "Aren't I afraid that you won't buy it if you get angry? Ten thousand yuan for a house, where can you find such a good thing?"
< br>
Yu Wentao didn't like the landlord. If Ye Fan had said that the house was in her name from the beginning, she would probably not buy it, so she reluctantly accepted this argument, "Then you will rent out that house later?"
"They haven't moved yet." Ye Fan reminded.
Yu Wentao nodded: "Yes, I have to go there every day to see when they will move."
The old lady and her family thought so much about the vast world abroad that they flew to a capitalist country before the eleventh month of the lunar calendar was over, as if they didn’t want to stay any longer.
The family left in the morning. Ye Fan was at school at the time. When she got home at noon, Yu Wentao dragged her to the back and pointed at the empty room: "Look, not to mention the mahogany chairs, there are even elm wooden benches gone."
In the house there was only a large wardrobe, a large bed that was not easy to move, a large square table with several tables, a small dining table for eating, chairs, benches, etc., all gone.
Ye Fan expected it: "You kept the price low, and people were unhappy, so it would be weird to keep it for you."
"She is still stingy. The house you bought is not expensive, so why didn't they touch anything?"
Ye Fan: "Don't think like that. Think about it, she emptied the house so that we wouldn't have to clean it up. Those mahogany chairs are all covered in pulp. Is that what you said yourself? Doesn't it look awkward to you?"
< br>
Yu Wentao: "I think I can split it and make a fire."
"Okay, let's go cook." Ye Fan said, "I'll write a board and hang it at the door when I get back - the house is for rent."
When Yu Wentao heard that Ye Fan really wanted to rent out the house, and she could live in Ye Fan's house in a down-to-earth manner, she felt comfortable again.
Unexpectedly, just after Ye Fan's sign was written, Geng Zhiye's second sister-in-law came back. When she heard that the house was going to be rented, she disagreed, saying that in the past, only people who couldn't find fault in the family rented out the house.
Yu Wentao said that she was more than ten years younger than him and more pedantic than him. Chu Fenghe cited scriptures to refute. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ye Fan was about to break up the fight, but Geng Benben muttered something in his grandmother's ear. Yu Wentao turned his anger into joy and said, "Buy Benben and Huihui a house each, and I will listen to you." .”
Chu Fenghe thought that the whole family was crazy, so he went back to his parents' house after lunch to complain to his parents.
Geng Zhiye studied at the National Defense University and was very good at first hearing. Ye Fan is a student at Beijing University. The Chu family couldn't blame two awesome people for messing around, so they suspected that Yu Wentao was the one who instigated Benben to ask for a house. Huihui and Benben didn't go to their grandma's house on Sunday because of Yu Wentao's instigation. The Chu family regretted letting her take care of their children.
Chu Fenghe was angry that Yu Wentao was messing around with her children, and he couldn't go out of his way to say that she had brought up his two children. After all, it was a fact that Geng Huihui was admitted to college, and Geng Benben did not suffer from academic decline because of this. She said that she was busy with work and Yu Wentao didn't take care of her children, so she would either resign or not have children.
The Chu family didn't want to see either situation. After hearing what Chu Fenghe said, they calmed down and stopped blaming Yu Wentao.
The family analyzed for a long time, and Chu's father said that the house could be bought because Huihui might need a house after graduating in a few years. Benben will be promoted to high school early next year. After buying a house, he can calm down and prepare for the exam seriously.
Chu Fenghe's mother asked her daughter if she didn't have enough money.
Hearing this, Chu Fenghe couldn't laugh or cry: "My sister-in-law and my mother-in-law - to be honest, I can't blame Benben for learning to buy a house from them."
Father Chu heard something in her words: "What else did they do?"
Chu Fenghe thought about the furniture in Ye Fan's house: "Ye Fan's house is not big, with three rooms in a courtyard, but the main house and the house where my mother-in-law and Erbao live now are all made of mahogany furniture. Ye Fan said six thousand, I think it’s impossible, but it won’t be more than 10,000.”
Chu Fenghe’s sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and brothers were all shocked and said in unison: “So cheap?!”
"My mother-in-law just bought a house a few days ago. It has five spacious courtyards and costs 10,000 yuan." Chu Fenghe still can't believe it. "The owner is crazy."
A group of adults in the Chu family knew that buying a big house for 10,000 yuan would bring good luck, even if they were not ordinary people. Father Chu looked complicated and said, "No wonder you said that Benben thinks you will make money if you buy it."
Chu Fenghe’s mother: “No, why does it look like elm wood to me?”
Chu Fenghe: "The room in Dabao's room is made of elm wood. But the workmanship is good. It can be seen that it is the workmanship of an old carpenter. The bed is very strong, and Dabao rolls on it every day without shaking."
Sister-in-law Chu Fenghe asked: "Did she look at Yu Wentao's house or did Ye Fan look at it?"
Chu Fenghe first said that when Ye Fan was planning to buy a house, Geng Zhiye looked at three places in total. Ye Fan saw that the house she was living in now was fully furnished and there were no signs of cracks or leaks. She could move in before buying that house.
The house that Yu Wentao bought was also the one that Geng Zhiye was looking at. The landlord came to ask Geng Zhiye if he wanted to buy it. Her mother-in-law didn't want to buy it and deliberately said it would cost 10,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, the landlord actually sold it.
Chu Fenghe’s younger siblings asked: “What else is there?”
"The house is just average, with no furniture. The third child is too lazy to talk about it. I don't know how much she will sell it for." Chu Fenghe saw her younger siblings looking thoughtful, "Don't you want to buy it too, right?"
Brother and sister Chu Fenghe: "There is nothing to lose by buying it. Even if the revolution revives in a few years, a small house will not be my fault." After a pause, "Don't you say that the house is just so-so? I will decorate it and do a few things. Decent old furniture - second-hand furniture is cheap and can be resold for a thousand or eight hundred yuan. My monthly salary is forty or fifty yuan, and I can't save that much even if I don't eat or drink in a year."
Chu Fenghe's eldest nephew couldn't help but said: "Yu Wentao must have told Benben the same thing. Benben asked for a house the moment he saw you."
Chu Fenghe frowned slightly: "She is Benben's grandma, your elder. She is my step-mother-in-law. It's okay if I occasionally call her by her name disrespectfully. How can you call her by her first name?"
Ben Ben's grandma couldn't help but said: "He made a slip of the tongue, so he won't say it again."
Chu Fenghe didn't want to scold his nephew who was already working in front of his sister-in-law, "Then I'll listen to them and buy one set each for Benben and Huihui?"
Chu Fenghe's younger siblings couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there just one set? I bought Benben and Huihui and I can't make trouble with you?"
Chu Fenghe: "My mother-in-law loves Benben and Huihui. As soon as she hears that I let go, she will immediately help them find out."
"Then let her make more inquiries." Chu Fenghe's sister-in-law said, "Give me that house."
Chu Fenghe was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Then I will ask for the specific address tomorrow, and you can talk to the landlord directly."
Chu's father asked: "Will your mother-in-law be unhappy if you give it to us?"
"No." Chu Fenghe did not dare to say that Yu Wentao thought the house was not good, otherwise he would have taken it long ago. But when it comes to speaking out, her mother-in-law's family should say that she has a high vision and has many things to do.
Chu Fenghe didn't want to hear their complaints, and felt that he shouldn't hide at his parents' house today.
Geng Huihui and Geng Zhiqin's school is far away from home. There will be classes at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. It will be too late to go back tomorrow and they have to leave in the afternoon. Chu Fenghe decided to go back to Ye Fan's house to spend one night with Erbao.
Chu's father told her to go over tomorrow. Chu Fenghe said to go back and tell her mother-in-law. If her mother-in-law was free tomorrow, she and her mother-in-law would go over and see if the house was habitable before telling her siblings.
Chu Fenghe's younger siblings sent her to the intersection as soon as they heard what she said.
There is no need to take a bus from Benben's grandma's house to Ye Fan's house. It only takes twenty minutes to walk. Chu Fenghe felt cold and wanted to go back to the house quickly. He arrived at Ye Fan's house in ten minutes.
When they got home, Chu Fenghe felt a little uncomfortable facing Ye Fan and Yu Wentao. After dinner, he hesitated for a long time before saying that her younger siblings also wanted to buy a house.
Geng Benben chuckled angrily.
Chu Fenghe glared at him: "Your brother-in-law's family can't live in it anymore. Do you need to buy a house? Our family can't live in it either?"
Ye Fan took the opportunity and said: "Second Bao sleeps with me, and Second Sister-in-law sleeps with Er Bao."
"I may have to stay for two nights. I didn't have any rest last week. My employer gave me three days off. I will go back the day after tomorrow."
Erbao likes to sleep with his mother in winter: "Second mother, I want to stay for a few days."
Chu Fenghe said "Thank you" to Erbao. Erbao felt embarrassed and buried his little head in his mother's arms. Ye Fan hugged her and asked, "Second sister-in-law, are you sure you want to buy a house for Benben and Huihui? If you are sure, you can go over and have a look tomorrow afternoon."
Chu Fenghe: "According to your opinion, there are still people selling their houses? Are all of them crazy? I really don’t feel bad for selling my house!"
"Not here. There are two houses to the east of Huihui School. The house is similar to my home. The owner is not going abroad, but to Xiangjiang." Ye Fan said, "Huihui and Xiaoqin heard it on the bus. But over there It’s closer to the city and should be more expensive than here.”
Chu Fenghe: "Let Xiaoqin ask first. If it's appropriate, I'll go take a look next time I'm on vacation. I'll take a look at the one in the southeast corner tomorrow morning."
Ye Fan: "Then take a rest. We all have classes tomorrow."
The next morning, Chu Fenghe accompanied her mother-in-law to take Erbao to school and went to look at the house - the house was about the same age as the Geng family's old house, but it was not as well maintained as the Geng family's.
The landlord was anxious to sell the house. Seeing that Chu Fenghe was dissatisfied, he asked for only 10,000 yuan and said that if she really wanted to buy it, it could be cheaper.
Chu Fenghe said he would go back and discuss it with his family. In fact, when he got home, he took off the sheets and threw them in the washing machine, brushed his son's shoes, and cleaned Ye Fan's house inside and outside in the afternoon. After cleaning up, she slowly returned to her parents' house.
After staying at her parents' house for an hour, Chu Fenghe returned to Ye Fan's house.
The next day, Chu Fenghe's younger siblings asked for leave to come see her house, and her sister-in-law also came. Because of Ye Fan's house as a comparison, Chu Fenghe's sister-in-law and younger siblings had to give him 6,000 yuan.
Chu Fenghe whispered: "Ye Fan's house has more than 6,000 people. If you say 6,000 people, you have to tell us to get out."
Her siblings offered eight thousand yuan, and the landlord asked them out without hesitation.
The final deal was 9,500 yuan and the transfer was completed in the afternoon!
Chu Fenghe originally thought that her younger siblings might not be happy because the house was too expensive. Unexpectedly, after they separated from the owner, her younger siblings said they had made a profit and her sister-in-law also wanted to buy a house.
Even if Chu Fenghe still thinks that there is no need to be so anxious, he dare not say that his daughter Huihui has seen two sets. If my sister-in-law wants to buy one, I will give you one set.
Firstly, she felt vaguely that she would make a profit by buying it. Secondly, she gave up the house, which made Benben very unhappy. If she gave it away again, the naughty child would dare to deny his mother.
The two houses Huihui looked at were indeed more expensive than the houses here. The houses were not as good as Ye Fan's house. They needed to be repaired inside and out. They were also as big as Ye Fan's house, but the owner charged 12,000 yuan, which was less. Not a cent sold.
It would be enough for Chu Fenghe to withdraw all the money he had saved over the years.
Because money was needed to decorate the house, Geng Huihui asked Ye Fan when he would set up a stall.
Ye Fan: "It's impossible to ride a three-bouncer in the ice and snow. Let's wait until spring."
Both Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui were on winter vacation. Geng Huihui was at home, so she was naturally at home too. She couldn't help but say, "Business is good during the New Year, sister-in-law. No matter what you sell, you will make more money than in the summer."
Ye Fan wanted to say, why do you two love doing business more than me? "I don't necessarily need your help." Ye Fan had actually thought about what to do, but the time hadn't come yet.
Geng Zhiqin: "Tell me about it."
Ye Fan: "I made an agreement with the uncles and aunties in the alley where we used to set up a stall. We will sell pork at the end of the year. At that time, we will rent a transport truck to bring four or five pigs there. What can you two do? Will you kill the pigs or divide the meat? ?”
Geng Huihui couldn't help but ask: "How can you do this alone?"
Ye Fan: "I'll definitely ask the villagers to come with me."
Geng Huihui asked: "Do you have to give me a few dollars to pay for your hard work?"
Ye Fan nodded: "They cut the meat and weighed it for me. I can collect the money alone. I guess your uncle should have a holiday too - the military school has the word 'military' in it, but it is not an army after all, so there is no need during the Chinese New Year." Teachers and students on duty.”
Geng Zhiqin: "With Third Brother helping you, you don't need me and Huihui?"
Ye Fan: "That's right. I actually have a small business, but I'm afraid you won't like it."
Geng Zhiqin, Geng Huihui and Geng Benben looked at her together, causing Dabao and Erbao who were sitting next to their mother to be startled. Dabao came back to his senses and pulled his sister with a speechless expression. He went to the Luohan bed in the west of the Bogu stand, took out the chess set under the kang table, and the brother and sister played chess.
Ye Fan had no choice but to laugh again: "There is still half a month before the Spring Festival. Many people haven't written couplets yet, right? Go buy red paper, write them and sell them in the park. Don't our family have a small notebook for writing couplets in previous years? Take a photo of it. Just copy it.”
Yu Wentao choked with laughter, and the melon seeds in her hand fell to the ground.
Geng Zhiqin rolled his eyes at his mother and said to Ye Fan: "We didn't need me to write the Spring Festival couplets in our family before. You asked me to write them and sell them?" What an international joke.
Ye Fan looked at Geng Huihui and Geng Benben, "You two have never practiced calligraphy?"
Geng Benben sighed: "It seems I'm going to see my grandma."
"What did you say?" Ye Fan was surprised.
Geng Benben: "Because I can write Spring Festival couplets. My grandma watched me practice calligraphy every day during the winter and summer vacations the year before last and last year."
Ye Fan was very happy: "No wonder I don't like going to your grandma's house. Write a few and let me see."
Geng Benben went to the Dabao House to get a brush, ink and some pieces of draft paper, and he waved a few strokes randomly. Ye Fan couldn't help but said: "With these few words, you should also go and see your grandma and grandpa."
Geng Benben scratched his head with the tip of his pen: "She said that she has many skills and is not overwhelmed. I was also thinking about what the calligraphy could be used for. I didn't expect this to be used."
Ye Fan: "Dabao can also write. You, Dabao and Huihui write at home. Your sister-in-law takes Erbao to the park to sell Spring Festival couplets. The five of you will share the money equally?"
Yu Wentao couldn't help but said: "Don't bother Erbao on such a cold day. Erbao, you are not going anywhere, you are at home with grandma."
Erbao: "But I want to go to the park."
Yu Wentao choked and said angrily: "Go, go, let's see who will suffer if we get sick later."
Ye Fan: "It'll be fine if you wrap it up tightly."
Geng Zhiqin asked: "No one buys it?"
Ye Fan: "Let us post it ourselves."
Geng Benben always wanted to make money but never had the chance. Hearing this, he asked his aunt when he would buy red paper.
When Ye Fan saw him, he almost said he would go in the afternoon, "Afternoon!"
Geng Benben opened his eyes wide in shock: "Really?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Xiao Qin, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few bottles of ink and a few brushes. Write down how much you spent so I can calculate the cost."
Yu Wentao couldn't help but said: "Is it really for sale? Will you say that we are crazy because of poverty?"
Geng Benben couldn't help but said: "Grandma, why are you like my mother? You didn't steal or rob, you make money openly and don't live in shame." Geng Huihui nodded: "The uncles and aunties who came to buy groceries from my aunt praised her for her kindness, helping poor relatives, and... It’s better than giving money directly.”
The minority obeys the majority!
Yu Wentao was completely defeated!
The matter was settled like that.
In the afternoon, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiqin went to the paper factory to buy red paper. The people at the paper factory asked her why she wanted so much red paper. Ye Fan said that there was a happy event at home. Even though the people at the paper factory were dubious, they still sold it to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan and Geng Zhiqin carried him onto the bus and carried him home.
Yu Wentao was shocked when he saw two people coming in carrying papers: "So many?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I decided, I will join in."
Yu Wentao couldn't help but complain: "Why do you make so much money?"
"Otherwise, what would I be doing at home?" There was no acquaintance around to chat with, and it was too cold in the north. Ye Fan had no intention of going to the unheated library, and just stayed in bed and read without moving. However, it is easy to feel sleepy when sitting in a warm bed. He slept too much during the day, and Ye Fan woke up at three or four o'clock in the evening these days.
In her previous life, Ye Fan didn't feel that time was so long. She probably didn't have a mobile phone or computer, and there was no night market for her to visit at night. There were no dazzling shops on the street. Ye Fan could only be in a daze if she didn't want to read.
Because he was too busy a few days ago, Ye Fan took Dabao and Erbao to stay at Ye's house for a few days.
Yu Wentao was asked because she was more free than Ye Fan, "If I had known, I would also learn calligraphy from your father-in-law."
Geng Zhiqin wanted to laugh: "How come you can make all kinds of money?"
Yu Wentao glared at her and said, "You have the nerve to laugh at me. For such an old man, he is still a college student, and his calligraphy is worse than that of a primary school student!"
Dabao: "Grandma, I am a middle school student."
Yu Wentao choked and became so angry that he yelled at his daughter: "Come over and help me cook!"
Ye Fan had written Spring Festival couplets, so she knew how to cut red paper. Ye Fan and Geng Huihui lifted the large square table out from under the coffee table. Geng Benben spread red paper on the table, and Ye Fan started cutting it directly.
Geng Huihui saw her aunt's attitude and wanted to cut the red paper: "Aunt, the four of us can't finish writing."
Ye Fan: "I'll cut it into 30% today. Your grandma can also cut it, so I'll ask her to cut it slowly at home later. I've decided that with your sister-in-law and Erbao, we'll sell one at the park exit and the other at the park entrance."
Dabao asked: "Mom, can I buy fireworks after making money?"
Ye Fan nodded: "You have the right to control the money you earn!"
Dabao was immediately full of energy: "I will write after dinner, just practice calligraphy."
When Geng Huihui heard what Dabao said, she immediately felt that the Spring Festival couplet business was very good. She could make money and practice calligraphy, killing two birds with one stone. If her mother or father saw her, she would excuse herself by saying "practice calligraphy".
Ye Fan never thought about whether Geng Zhiye's second brother and second sister-in-law would object. She was thinking about what to write. Some of the couplets in the couplet book are not suitable for the past two years, because of the new atmosphere of reform and opening up, the people are looking forward to becoming rich, and couplets written in this aspect will sell better.
Ye Fan decided to think about it on his own, so after dinner, she asked Dabao, Huihui and Benben to write traditional couplets first, such as "Everything goes well, everything goes well and everyone is in good health", or "Look up and see happiness", "The whole family is happy" and so on. of.
Ye Fan found some scrap paper and wrote, "Reform and opening up are new, and national policies are shining brightly with gold everywhere."
Geng Zhiqin looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, your major is not in vain."
Ye Fan laughed and wrote another line, "The country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and the weather is good. Praise the new rules." Then Ye Fan said, "Someone said later that it was illegal for you to sell Spring Festival couplets, so I used these two to shut her up."
< br>
Geng Zhiqin: “It’s not speculation, no one should be meddling in other people’s business.”
Yu Wentao washed Erbao's face and hands at the side: "There are many people holding chicken feathers as arrows. Erbao, sleep with grandma at night?"
Erbao shook his head: "I sleep with my mother."
Yu Wentao applied Magazin on her and asked her to wash her feet and go to bed.
Erbao couldn't sleep, so she opened the Russian book her mother bought for her to learn Russian.
Ye Fan thought about five more couplets, wrote the horizontal batch, and then asked Dabao and Benben to write what she had written, while she and Geng Huihui wrote the traditional couplets.
The next morning, Geng Zhiqin and Yu Wentao were cooking, while Ye Fan continued writing with the three children. Erbao was writing English words silently on the side.
Considering that there was no one outside after dinner, Ye Fan wrote for an hour before setting off for the park.
A pair of couplets with horizontal markings and four characters of blessing cost one yuan, and people who asked about the price thought it was expensive. Since Ye Fan said he couldn't sell it and keep it for himself or give it to relatives, he couldn't lower the price, so Geng Zhiqin kept his temper.
These days I still don’t know how to write many calligraphy strokes. If you buy a pack of cigarettes and ask someone to write about it, it may not necessarily be a good idea to buy a pack of cigarettes, but you also have to worry about favors. Several people who asked about the price saw that Geng Zhiqin did not relent. After hesitating for a long time, they decided to get a pair of Spring Festival couplets and prepare to stick them on the door.
Someone asked if it only requires two characters for "福". Erbao took one "Look up and see happiness" and gave him another one "Full of happiness in the world".
Someone else asked if they don’t want the word “福”, but only couplets and horizontal scripts. Geng Zhiqin said fifty cents.
The uncles and aunts who were watching the fun felt that Geng Zhiqin was very talkative, so they chatted with her: "Daughter, did you write it yourself?"
Geng Zhiqin suddenly became energetic: "My sister-in-law wrote it."
"Your sister-in-law's handwriting is so good." The aunt sighed.
Geng Zhiqin was waiting for this sentence: "Of course. My sister-in-law has Tong Zi Kung Fu. She is still a student of Beijing University."
In ancient times, students of Peking University were still talented scholars even if they were not very good at lifting people up.
The arrogant person asked: "Do Peking University students still write Spring Festival couplets and sell them?"
Geng Zhiqin nodded: "She and my brother have two children. My brother is also in school now and has no way to support the family. How can my little niece wear such warm clothes?"
Erbao, who only showed one pair of eyes, nodded vigorously, indicating that the "little niece" was her.
Today's society is like this. Idle people selling things will be looked down upon by their neighbors, and college students selling things will be looked down upon by others.
The Spring Festival couplets have something to say when you buy them back - they are handwritten by Beijing University students. So the waiting and watching uncles and aunties have a pair of hands.
Before it was sold out, Ye Fan came over. Geng Zhiqin immediately said: "This is my sister-in-law."
Although Ye Fan was covered with only one pair of eyes exposed, her eyes were dark and bright, and she looked like a smart person at first glance. Grandpas and aunts praised her for her good calligraphy.
Ye Fan smiled and said: "I didn't write it alone. My niece also wrote it."
Geng Zhiqin nodded: "My niece did not do well in the exam like my sister-in-law. Like me, she only got into the Normal University."
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet for a moment. Is it easy to pass the normal university exam? Everyone was quite speechless.
Because there were so many people here, passers-by thought there was something lively to see. When they squeezed in and saw that they were selling Spring Festival couplets, they wanted to go out, but they were stopped by the enthusiastic aunt: "Don't you want the Spring Festival couplets? This lesbian wrote it herself. She is from Beijing." Big.”
Those who didn't know thought Ye Fan was her daughter.
Citizens who were hesitating whether to squeeze in heard that "Beijing University" also wanted to get involved in Ye Fan's blessings, so they raised their hands and said, "Give me one."
Ye Fan rolled a pair for him, carefully tied it with hemp rope and handed it over.
Around 11:30, Geng Zhiqin’s Spring Festival couplets were sold out.
The uncles and aunts bought it. Seeing that Ye Fan was going back, they asked her if she would come tomorrow. Ye Fan said that his niece was writing at home and would be here at three or four in the afternoon.
When the two adults and one child returned home, the rice had just been steamed, and Yu Wentao was preparing to stir-fry. When he saw the three of them, he said, "Wash your hands and eat later."
Geng Zhiqin leaned against the doorframe and asked, "Aren't you worried that no one will buy it?"
Yu Wentao: "If no one in our family writes Spring Festival couplets, I will spend one yuan to buy one and stick it on the door. There are many people like me in the city who do this."
Geng Zhiqin was surprised: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, it feels like a year and a half. Mom, have you been touched by an immortal?"
Yu Wentao didn't understand, but she knew she was being teased by her daughter: "Get out of here!"
Geng Zhiqin entered the room with a smile and saw his three nephews and nieces writing furiously, "Stop writing. If you three finish it in one go, we won't be able to sell it all in one day."
Geng Huihui said: "Auntie, buy some more red paper."
Ye Fan: "Let's see how much we can sell today and tomorrow. If we sell half of it, I'll buy red paper the day after tomorrow. Dabao, are your hands cramped? Mommy is filling a basin of hot water while you three soak your hands. You can only write two words in the afternoon. Hours.”
After lunch, Ye Fan asked the children to take a nap, while Yu Wentao cut paper and Ye Fan wrote Spring Festival couplets.
At two o'clock, two people, one big and one small, set off.
The propaganda power of uncles and aunties is terrible, provided they are willing. It was a great honor for me to help university students in Beijing promote Spring Festival couplets. On the way home, they didn’t mind stopping and chatting with anyone who asked them what they had got. As soon as Ye Fan got off the bus, his uncle and aunt pointed at him and said, "Here we come, here we come."
Afternoon was as fast as noon, and Ye Fan sold out all the Spring Festival couplets in more than half an hour.
Ye Fan estimated the population here and told the uncles and aunts to sell it for two days.
Two days later, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiqin went to the paper factory to buy a batch of red paper.
What is new is what is familiar, and red paper is not convenient for doing bad things. No one at the paper factory bothered to ask her why she bought the paper.
On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiqin went to Dongcheng Park. This time they did not bring the second treasure with them because it was too far and Ye Fan was worried that her small body would not be able to carry it.
Maybe the word "Beijing University" is too easy to use, because Ye Fan and Geng Zhiqin's Spring Festival couplets were sold out before twelve o'clock.
Ye Fan promised to come back the next day, and those who didn't buy the Spring Festival couplets left in twos and threes.
The next morning, it was also selling well, but halfway through the sale, an acquaintance squeezed in - Qin Yunzhi.
Qin Yunzhi was stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Fan's eyes. Only when she heard Ye Fan calling "Auntie" did she dare to recognize her, and exclaimed: "Why is it you? With only one pair of eyes exposed, I didn't dare to recognize her."
Several adults and aunts watching the excitement knew Qin Yunzhi and asked, "Do you know him?"
"My nephew's wife. I told you before, have you forgotten?" Qin Yunzhi came to the park to sit and chat with the uncles and aunts.
The uncles and aunts suddenly realized: "The third child's daughter-in-law, who used to live in your house for several years, is annoying me?"
Ye Fan nodded: "It's me. Auntie, do you want to contact me too?"
"It's not your uncle who says he's too lazy to write." My aunt said to herself, if I had known it was such a coincidence, I wouldn't have come. Look at this fuss, what's the matter?
Ye Fan rolled three Spring Festival couplets for her, "Written by your nephew."
"The third child is on vacation?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I just got home yesterday."
An old man originally planned to write it himself, but after hearing this, he asked: "Which one was written by the third child? Give me one."
The old man who came with him couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you write it yourself?"
"The word "soldier" can ward off evil spirits and suppress evil." The uncle said seriously. Ye Fan suddenly felt ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
The eldest aunt was the same, telling the old man to stop talking nonsense.
But I can’t stand anyone believing it. As soon as the old man said this, several other old men also wanted to join hands.
When the eldest aunt finished selling Ye Fan, she asked her and Geng Zhiqin to go to her house for dinner. Ye Fan said tomorrow, because his family didn't know about it today, and he was afraid that they would be worried if he didn't go back at noon.
Early the next morning, Geng Zhiye's aunt went to buy meat.
At present, meat tickets still need to be purchased with tickets. Ye Fan was very embarrassed when he saw the pork belly. While chatting while eating, Ye Fan deliberately pushed it on Geng Zhiqin and Huihui as if telling a joke - Geng Zhiqin was embarrassed to eat at Qin Yunzhi's house today. Didn't come. Ye Fan said that they bought a house and had no money to decorate it. They had to do something to make money, so she wanted to try making Spring Festival couplets.
As expected, after Ye Fan finished speaking, his uncle asked: "The second brother's house is spacious, what kind of house should I buy?"
Ye Fan has had enough explanations these days, so he just said directly if he didn't want to explain: "Many people are anxious to go abroad recently. Houses are sold at reduced prices. If you buy them today and sell them to people in need tomorrow, you can make five hundred to one thousand."
Geng Zhiye's uncle almost choked on the pork belly, and it took him a while to recover: "Can't I sell it?"
Ye Fan: "It's not a loss if you can't sell it. It's like my eldest cousin's house. Will I still be able to live in it if I have grandchildren in the future? I heard that it is getting more and more difficult to allocate rooms."
Qin Yunzhi couldn't help but said: "Your uncle and I were talking about why you didn't rent a house a few days ago. You only stayed there for a few years. Now that you think about renting a house to others, it's better to buy it."
Ye Fan nodded: "If you and uncle want to buy it, do it as soon as possible. It will be difficult to buy a low-priced house after people come to the special zone to make money and buy it again."
The uncle seemed to be waking up from a dream: "I was just about to ask how there are so many rich people. I almost forgot, reform and opening up."
Ye Fan was surprised that the old couple understood each other instantly: "Yes."
My eldest aunt often goes out, and I have heard people say that someone is selling a house. So after Ye Fan left in the afternoon, she and her sister-in-law went to see the house.
In the afternoon of the next day, the two sisters had the same thing.
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, the weekend, Geng Zhiye drove the transport truck rented by Ye Fan to Yujia Village. At the same time, his cousins came back to visit some visitors. When they heard that they had built two old and shabby courtyard houses , the young people in the whole family thought the four old people were crazy, and asked the old people how much money they had left, and they handed over the money and they kept it.
