Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

After leaving the Xinqiao Hotel, Cao Zhiqiang felt a little sleepy, so he simply returned to the newly rented house on the Longtan Lake side, which was the house where Jin Xiuying lived.

After arriving at the small foreign-style building, I found that Jin Xiuying was not at home, and she didn't know where she was wandering.

But it doesn't matter, you're an adult, so don't worry.

After asking Yang An'an to recognize the door here and telling him that this was also Jin Xiuying's address, Cao Zhiqiang assigned Yang An'an two tasks.

The first task is to buy some good cigarettes and wine.

The second task is to buy some cigarettes and drinks. Instead of coming back, go directly to the police station where Officer Zhou Jianguo is and keep an eye on him. Once you find Zhou Jianguo off work, come over and report him immediately.

Well, without a mobile phone, human tracking and reporting are the most reliable methods.

In short, Yang Ping'an was sent out to work, while Cao Zhiqiang went into the small foreign-style building and took a pleasant nap. When he woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang didn't go out. He simply went to his room on the first floor, took out his pen and notebook, and continued typing.

I kept writing until about 6:30 in the afternoon, when there was a knock on the door, and it was Yang Ping'an who came back.

Also, if it were Kim Soo-young, she would not knock on the door if she had the key.

Yang Ping'an brought four cartons of cigarettes, four bottles of wine, two packs of sugar, and two packs of tea.

Cigarettes are like Daqianmen, wine is like Niulanshan, sugar is like White Rabbit, and tea is like Tieguanyin. None of them are particularly expensive, but they are not cheap mid-range products either.

Tobacco, wine, sugar and tea are all packed in net bags, a typical gift.

Yes, in the 1980s, it was no longer popular to give gifts such as pork and eggs. It was more popular to give tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea.

In addition, Yang Anping also brought news that Officer Zhou Jianguo from the police station had left the police station on his bicycle. It was hard to say whether he was off duty.

"Has he noticed you?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"Probably not." Yang Ping'an shook his head, "I changed my clothes, put on glasses, and disguised myself to a certain extent. Plus, I walked there and observed from a relatively far place near the police station. The other party probably didn't notice me.

"

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said: "Then you are always in the same place, and others don't find it strange?"

Yang An'an smiled: "There is a teahouse over there at the police station. Many idle people drank tea and chatted there to pass the time. I entered the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and ordered some melon seeds and peanuts. It was nothing unusual to sit there all afternoon."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, yes, teahouse culture is normal.

Just as he said this, the door opened from the outside, and Jin Xiuying came back wearing sportswear and carrying a bag of vegetables.

As soon as Jin Xiuying came back, she was stunned and subconsciously reached into her trouser pocket with her right hand. However, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Cao Zhiqiang and Yang Ping'an.

"I was shocked." Jin Xiuying said, "I thought there was a thief."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "What kind of thief can there be here? Can a thief be so upright? By the way, you just reached into your pocket, weren't you going to take out a knife?"

"It's up to you to take care of it!" Jin Xiuying rolled her eyes, then walked to the opposite side of Cao Zhiqiang, put the bag of vegetables on the table, and then sat down next to the sofa.

"Where have you been?" Cao Zhiqiang asked with a smile.

"I'm bored, so I went shopping nearby to get familiar with the environment." Jin Xiuying said, "By the way, I bought a bicycle and some food."

"Bought a bicycle?" Cao Zhiqiang raised an eyebrow, "Do you have a ticket?"

Yes, in 1983, you also needed a ticket to buy a bicycle, and Jin Xiuying had a lot of money, which was given by Cao Zhiqiang, but when it came to bicycle tickets, Cao Zhiqiang did not give him a bicycle ticket.

"Old, second-hand!" Jin Xiuying shrugged, "There is a flea market over at the Temple of Heaven. There are many second-hand bicycles and spare parts sold there. Tickets are not required there."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Second-hand ones, are they safe? Isn't it stolen goods?"

This time, Jin Xiuying did not speak, but Yang Anping replied: "Boss, I know that market. There are indeed many second-hand bicycles for sale. If it is not a new model, it is usually fine."

"Don't worry!" Jin Xiuying said, "I'm not that stupid. I need a means of transportation, so I bought an old car with permanent 28-inch bumps. No one will check this."

Cao Zhiqiang was still worried and insisted on going to see it.

After I went out, I found a very old bicycle parked at the door. It seemed to be quite old, at least five or six years ago.

Seeing this, Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Also, if it is an old bicycle like this, there is really no big problem.

Nowadays, although you need a bicycle ticket to buy a new bicycle, you don't need one to buy a second-hand bicycle.

If you just want to travel and don’t have a bicycle ticket, then buying an old second-hand bicycle is the most reliable way.

"Not bad, not bad, very good, very good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with satisfaction, "Yingzi, you are mature."

"Tch!" Jin Xiuying curled her lips.

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang said to Yang An, "Old Yang, you have nothing to do here. You can go back.

By the way, before you go back, go back to my courtyard and say hello to my sister.

Just say that I have something to do today and won't go home, leaving them to take care of things by themselves. If no one is there to cook, they can go out to eat."

Yang An'an blinked, glanced at Jin Xiuying, who had a calm face, and then smiled at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "I understand, boss, I'll go right away."

"It's not what you think!" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly said, "I live on the first floor and she lives on the second floor. We live separately. We are just sharing a house, not living together. Don't get confused!"

Yang An'an smiled again: "Yes, boss, I understand. I promise not to think too much, and I promise not to talk too much. Don't worry."

"You...forget it." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "Go ahead. After informing my sister, you can go home from get off work."

"Okay!" Yang Anping nodded, and then left on his own.

As soon as Yang An'an left, Jin Xiuying, who was sitting on the side, swallowed, looked to the side and said, "You, do you want to stay here tonight?"

"Ah." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "But don't think too much. As I said before, you live on the second floor and I live on the first floor. It won't hinder you."

Jin Xiuying frowned, turned to look at Cao Zhiqiang, opened her mouth, and finally said: "Then, then..."

"That's what that is." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Don't worry, although I am not a gentleman, I still want to show my face. What's more, you are not my type either, so don't worry about me. I will never do anything wrong to you.

"

"Hmph!" Jin Xiuying glared at Cao Zhiqiang, "You'd better keep your word. If, if you dare to lie to me or have bad thoughts towards me, be careful I'll cut you!"

"Okay, okay, no way." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "Absolutely not."

Then, Cao Zhiqiang looked at the bag of vegetables on the table and said, "Hey, you bought a lot of vegetables. Can you cook?"

Jin Xiuying said: "I can still make a simple stir-fry. I just add oil and salt, then boil an egg and add some noodles, and it's all done."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Forget it, I know I can't expect much from your cooking skills."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it. Let's eat early. I have something to go out in the evening."

"You want to go out?" Jin Xiuying asked subconsciously, "Where are you going and what are you doing?"

"Business matters, I won't feel at ease if I don't understand this matter." Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes, "By the way, lend me your bicycle."

"Okay." Jin Xiuying nodded, "I won't go out at night, you can use it as you like."

"That would be the best." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.
