Siheyuan

During the three days on the train, Lin Xuan basically read books and looked at the scenery every day, or chatted and explained various techniques of restoring the Rubik's Cube to Mr. Lin and his grandson Zhou Xianmin.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Lin Xuan learned that Zhou Xianmin's father was the director of a toy factory. It turned out that they wanted the Rubik's Cube to study and facilitate production. This thing has no technical content. Once it is taken apart, you can know how it is assembled.

After arriving at Yanjing Station, several people went to the guesthouse together. After resting for a night, they went to see Mr. Lin's two properties early the next morning.

They walked in a fairly spacious alley. On both sides of the road were the courtyard walls and eaves of the Siheyuan, and on the side was a row of tall trees. Because it was winter, now only the bare trunks were left.

The two courtyards are next to each other in the alleys, both on the main alleys, and can be driven directly in the future. The location is also very good, especially the second courtyard. According to Mr. Lin, this second courtyard was their old residence, and they spent a lot of effort on it. The first courtyard is a property that his family bought nearby, which is used for rent and is slightly off the beaten track.

Both courtyards are in a mess now. The second courtyard was originally requisitioned as an office space and is in a slightly better condition. The original vermilion columns have faded to a light color, and the paint occasionally peels off, revealing the mottled interior.

Before entering the courtyard, it was occupied by several families and was severely damaged. Even the green bricks in the courtyard were dug up to open up several small vegetable gardens. Now that the people have moved away, only the withered vegetable fields are left.

However, both courtyards are spacious, square, and well-oriented. Both courtyards are planted with tall trees, and the trunks are as big as a person's embrace. You can tell at a glance that they have experienced a long period of wind and rain.

Mr. Lin touched the trunk of the camphor tree and said with a nostalgic look: "These trees were there when I bought the house. They are still standing here today. They should have a history of a hundred years."

Looking at the yard, many memories flashed through his mind, including the beautiful life of the newlyweds, the process of the children growing up, the scene of a group of people suddenly breaking in and smashing things everywhere, and the look in his wife's eyes when she died with hatred.

Mr. Lin lowered his eyelashes, silently digesting the various feelings in his heart. After a long time, he turned to Lin Xuan and Gu Langhao and said with a smile: "What do you think of the house after you have seen it?"

Gu Langhao and Lin Xuan looked at each other and said gently: "We need to go back and discuss it."

Mr. Lin nodded, "This is a big deal, we should think about it carefully. If you are interested, please come to the guesthouse to contact me."

Gu Langhao smiled and said: "Okay, then you guys are busy, Xuanxuan and I will go shopping in Yanjing first."

Lin Xuan raised her bright smile and waved at them, "Then See you later, Mr. Lin, Comrade Zhou. "

Zhou Xianmin looked at the two people's backs as they left, his eyes full of doubt, "Grandpa, can they afford this house?"

Mr. Lin smiled, "Of course they can afford it, otherwise they wouldn't come with us to see the house. They are not the kind of people who cheat. Whether they like it or not is another matter. Spending such a large sum of money is a big deal."
