After returning home, Su Yin wrote and drew on the calendar, added tomorrow's schedule, thought about it, turned back, and made a five-pointed star mark on a day in April.

Gu Chengan parked his bicycle in the yard and saw his father-in-law coming back from outside with an envelope in his hand.

"Dad, are you going to collect the rent?"

"Yes, it's time again." The courtyard that Su Jianqiang bought with his own money was rented out privately. Five families lived in it, and the rent collected was more than 40 yuan per month.

Two years ago and the year before last, Gu Cheng'an learned through his connections in the Housing Authority that there were courtyard houses for sale. In the end, he and his father-in-law each contributed money to buy another courtyard house. At this time, the price of courtyard houses had risen to more than 4,000 yuan, and they were also rented out.

After these two years, the rental and sale prices of houses in Beijing continued to rise.

The courtyard house where the three people now live was bought by Gu Cheng'an for 3,300 yuan. Now the market price has exceeded 5,000 yuan. The father-in-law and son-in-law have good vision. They all lamented that the price of housing has risen rapidly. The price they bought in the past now seems to be a good deal.

Su Yin listened quietly beside him, thinking of the book's mention of Beijing's housing prices, which would easily reach hundreds of thousands per square meter. Compared to the current price of more than five thousand, there is still a huge and terrifying room for growth.

Su Jianqiang collected the rent money and used it to buy groceries and pay for water and electricity at home. He was worth a lot of money, but now he only had about one hundred yuan in his hands, and he was happy and relaxed.

"Are you going to Friendship Store to buy things tomorrow?"

He glanced at the lady's beautiful handwriting on the calendar. The top line read: Friendship Store, Chenghui, graduation gift, and the bottom line read: Grandpa's medical treatment, Dr. Jian, interview.

"Yes." Su Yin was going to look through the suitcase hidden in the house, which contained the US dollars that Su Jianqiang brought back that year.

A box of US dollars was used up in several stacks, mainly to buy a courtyard house and purchase scarce home appliances.

"Do you know how much one US dollar can be exchanged for now? I was shocked when I heard it yesterday." More than three years ago, when Su Jianqiang returned to China, he asked his daughter to exchange US dollars for money and foreign exchange bonds. At that time, one US dollar could be exchanged for one dollar and fifty-seven cents.

Gu Chengan and Su Jianqiang both supported her and asked her curiously: "How much is it?"

"More than five dollars!"

Su Yin counted out five US dollars, with a total face value of five hundred. At that time, it could be exchanged for more than two thousand five hundred foreign exchange bonds. It really appreciated while being left alone, which made people feel unreal.

"It's a good time to go and have a look at the refrigerator tomorrow. I heard it's very convenient to use."

The next morning, the family had breakfast and set off to the Friendship Store.

The Friendship Store's business has become more and more prosperous with the progress of reform and opening up in recent years. Many people secretly bought foreign exchange certificates from the dealers at high prices, just to avoid the hard-to-handle bills and directly spend money to buy goods.
