Chapter 1227 Earthquake
Doesn’t Ye Shu want those houses?
impossible!
She wants it so badly!
Can't she come up with nearly 20,000 yuan?!
Impossible!
She actually had so much cash on hand. In the past ten years, she and Huo Yisheng had not spent much of their salaries.
Because food costs almost nothing, the main thing is cloth and cotton.
Because she has five children!
But even so, the couple has saved 20,000 to 30,000 yuan over the past ten years.
Part of it was their salary and allowances, part of it was Ye Shu's bonus, and part of it was a one-time subsidy given to Huo Yisheng after the declassification period for carrying out a secret mission.
The money is there and it can be checked openly.
However, at this critical juncture, she really didn't dare to take too many risks!
Buying four small courtyard houses at once is really eye-catching!
If it were 78 now, she would definitely take it without hesitation!
But not now!
So, no matter how moved you are, you have to give up with a heavy heart.
Just buy one first, and then look for another place to buy when the environment is better!
She sighed and thought to herself that she would definitely be able to buy a house in the future.
After the national situation was relaxed in 78, a large number of people sold their houses in Beijing and fled for fear of further changes.
By that time, it would be a good time for her to buy a house.
However, it is estimated that such a reasonable price as now will rarely be found.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, Old Huo and Old Duan have just returned to their posts, and Huo Yisheng is now being promoted and undergoing military academy training. He will probably be transferred after the training.
The two families are at a time when they are too powerful to be in the spotlight, and she cannot let them fall behind because of a temporary gain or loss.
So, in the end, I chose the one closest to the military hospital, which was also one of the larger ones.
The old expert from the SU Union did not agree to sell them individually. He just wanted to pack them up and sell them as soon as possible so that he could go back earlier.
After going back and forth for several days, the housing authority finally took over the other three units, and Ye Shu also bought one of the courtyard houses he liked.
It is a square house with the east door facing the street, three main rooms, three west wing rooms and two east wing rooms.
There are enough rooms for you to live in.
This old house has not been lived in for a long time, and many parts are dilapidated, especially most of the wooden structure, which is worm-eaten and rotten.
It needs to be renovated before it can be lived in.
Ye Shu was not in a hurry. He found a skilled carpenter in the alleys of the old capital and began to renovate the house.
Her request was simple: replace wood with wood, and all wooden parts must have mortise and tenon structures, without a single nail.
The walls of the house also need to be reinforced and thickened, the courtyard walls raised, and the roof eaves completely redone.
In short, we should restore the flavor of the ancient Beijing courtyard as much as possible.
A heated kang is also built inside the house, so the house is basically warm in winter and cool in summer.
Ye Shu had to work, and Huo Yisheng was busy running between the military academy and the army, so the renovation of the old house was basically left to Hu Jingfei.
She had nothing to do anyway, so of course she was happy to take care of Ye Shu.
Because Ye Shu entrusted this matter to her, she was quite happy:
"No wonder we can become a family with Ye Shu! We have the same tastes and preferences! We both like wood, and we both like the mortise and tenon joints made by old craftsmen; they're so sturdy!"
"Those Western nails, when you hammer them into the wood, they actually damage it, making it more susceptible to termites and rot!"
Old Duan thought, how could that be? Do you think all tung oil is fake?
But my wife is happy, so whatever she says goes!
At the beginning of March, Yaya Zhou Ningya gave birth to a daughter and named her Gao Zhenzhu.
Ever since Yaya's pregnancy stabilized, she still insisted on going to the hospital to work and study every day.
It was only at Ye Shu's reminder that he would wear a mask, always pay attention to protecting himself, and no longer study as hard as before.
Until the day of her last birth, she was still giving acupuncture to people.
As soon as the injection was removed, my stomach started to hurt.
Fortunately, she was in the infirmary. Dr. Liang examined her and sent her directly to the delivery room.
She was in good health and insisted on going to work and walking around during her pregnancy, so even though it was her first child, the birth went smoothly.
Time flies and it is already the end of May. The weather seems to have become hot all of a sudden.
The courtyard houses near the hospital needed to be renovated bit by bit by the carpenter. Even though he had three apprentices with him, the progress was only half done at this time.
So she still lived in the military compound.
That night, Hu Jingfei made cold noodles, two simple cold dishes, and a cold chicken salad: "It's too hot, let's eat something refreshing."
It's really hot.
Wow, they come back covered in sweat every day.
Old Duan and Old Huo didn't go into the house. While the meal was being prepared, they sat on the corridor to enjoy the cool night air. "This weather isn't normal. How can it be this hot in late May or early June?"
"Yeah, the weather is a little weird."
Lao Duan: "I'll ask the comrades at the Meteorological Bureau tomorrow."
Old Huo was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of Huo Yisheng's frequent visits to the earthquake monitoring department.
What are you talking about doing urban drills?
He complained to Lao Duan: "I think he shouldn't be going to the earthquake monitoring department, but the meteorological department!"
Although he complained like this, he was actually thinking about something else in his heart.
Could it be that this kid discovered something special?
Could the current abnormal climate be related to the earthquake?
Old Huo and Old Duan exchanged glances, thinking that they would have to find Huo Yisheng and ask him clearly when he came back.
Right now, Huo Yisheng is out on a training camp on behalf of the military academy in the suburbs of Beijing. He will probably be back in two days.
As a result, on that night, when almost everyone in the country was fast asleep, Ye Shu suddenly felt the sky shaking and the earth trembling.
Her five senses were sharp, and almost as soon as the shaking started, she jumped up from the bed, and used both hands to pull Guaiguai and Sisi who were still sleeping soundly on the bed.
At the same time, they shouted loudly: "Earthquake! Run!"
"There's an earthquake—"
"Wake up!"
Guaiguai and Sisi are on her side, but the three boys are on Lao Huo's side.
She grabbed a girl with one hand and banged on Hu Jingfei and Lao Duan's door: "There's an earthquake—run!"
Old Duan and Hu Jingfei are old and have light sleep, so they actually noticed the earthquake as soon as it started.
I was just a little confused in my sleep and couldn't believe it.
When he heard Ye Shu's call, Lao Duan immediately got out of bed, pulled Hu Jingfei and ran out.
It’s just that Hu Jingfei already has a heart disease and is in a weak body. He is also old now, and now he was shaken like this, and he instantly felt uncomfortable.
So it delayed them for a while, and when Ye Shu knocked on the door, Lao Duan finally carried her out.
When Ye Shu saw them come out, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to the next door to knock on the door with the child in his arms.
