Chapter 1619 【1618】Huanghuali Eight Immortals Table

Before the carpentry started, the renovation fee of two thousand yuan sounded a bit much. In fact, it was because the house was older, so she re-reinforced it, including the tiles on the roof and the outer walls.

Painting, tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, and the necessary floor tiles for the floor, two thousand yuan is already very user-friendly.

If she included carpentry, furniture and appliances, she estimated that a set would cost several thousand dollars, which would be enough for a wedding.

She originally had 50,000 yuan in hand, but she spent 36,000 yuan to buy the house in Nanluogu Lane. Adding in the 4,000 yuan for the refrigerator and freezer she bought for her shop, she was left with 10,000 yuan to pay for the decoration.

After spending two thousand yuan, she currently only has eight thousand yuan in hand. If she uses all the eight thousand yuan on soft furnishings, then this house will be tidied up by her, making it very suitable for her to live in.

Ding Wei felt that since she had brought her family to Beijing, it was understandable that she would want to live her own life.

Even for her two younger sisters, she arranged for a nanny and used all the rent from Beihai Park to take care of her younger sisters. As for their milk powder, she also bought it ready-made and gave it away, basically not allowing her parents to take care of them.

Worry about them, so she considered them as pets and didn't leave them aside.

Although the parents are busy, they still find time to hug their children every day. Although they are adopted daughters, the couple also understand their daughter's thoughts. It is nothing more than that in the future, their children and their wives will be out of town and cannot spare the time to come over.

The younger sister is taking care of her.

In particular, Ding Wei has moved her two adopted daughters' household registrations to the capital, and they will go to school at home in the future. In principle, she can really accompany them until they grow old.

Going to school in this era is not like that of later generations, where you need to get up early and work hard at night. Especially here is the capital. Even if you don't leave the city from elementary school to high school or even university, you still enjoy the country's best educational resources.

This is also the reason why Ding Wei moved their household registration to the capital very early. It can be said that from the moment Ding Wei picked them up, the two children were ahead of many others.

Before school started, Ding Wei's scar was still not healed, so Lu Ying took her to a department store to pick out a black baseball cap and put it on her head, paired with a low-key sportswear, and her style suddenly became healthy and sunny.

"Actually, I don't care what others think of me. There's no need to be so exaggerated."

"What others think is other people's business. The key point is that I don't want others to affect your mood. It's okay. The medicine my mother gave me is working well. I'm sure there will be no scars."

"Good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls are only one in a million. Why, you think I'm ugly?"

Ding Wei stretched out her finger and lightly tapped Lu Ying's chest muscles. The latter blushed and grabbed her finger.

"Where did you learn this evil thing, girl? If you were ugly, would there be any beauties in our school? In my eyes, you are not only one of a kind in skin, but also your soul is incomparable. My parents know that I

I don’t know how happy I am to be in a relationship with you. Not only did I bring you medicine this time, I also brought you so many specialties. In fact, they are all to please your parents!"

Ding Wei pursed her lips: "Just lick it and flatter them. Maybe then you will be less likely to ask for some betrothal gifts."

Ding Wei's words left Lu Ying speechless: "Listen to what you said, if I don't work hard to make money, I may not be able to marry you?"

"No, I'm precious to you. Although you are a potential stock, I, Ding Wei, am not bad either. In terms of earning power, you are really not good. Besides, this partner and marriage are two different things. Let's take care of it first. If you mess with me in the future,

I'm not happy anymore, so I'll kick you!"

The corner of Lu Ying's mouth twitched hard: "Okay, you are not old, you have a lot of tricks, and you want to kick me. If I ask you to kick me, it's not yet certain who will kick whom!"

Lu Ying knew that this was Ding Wei's way of acting coquettishly and threatening him with vaccinations. Although her words didn't sound right, they were true, so she took it as a joke. He must not take it seriously. If he takes it seriously, he will lose. So

Quickly end this topic by scratching the itch.

As soon as school started, Ding Wei went to participate in the National Day charity sale organized by the National Calligraphers Association. She wrote a few words on the spot and then came back. She couldn't socialize. After all, she was a student and they took good care of her. She was allowed to do so.

When it came to writing, she would write a few words.

The intense academic work rarely gave her a chance to go home on weekdays. Xiumin and Xiumin were also busy with their courses, so they temporarily stopped giving extra classes to their children on weekends this semester, so they could use more time on their own academic reserves.

After finally returning home for the weekend, Ding Wei chose to go with Lu Ying to collect furniture from various scrap collection stations in the capital.

Although it was only the early 1980s, it was already difficult to find the furniture you wanted. Lu Ying, the chicken thief, actually rode on their big three-wheeler and took her around the alleys of the capital, shouting.

“Recycle old furniture at high prices!”

Although this method is good, I saw a lot of decent old-fashioned furniture, but with Ding Wei's eyes, these are not eye-catching. Fortunately, the young people have this patience. As long as someone calls to stop, they will enter the house to take a look, but

At the end of the day, there is no real gain.

The most important thing is that Ding Wei didn't like these furniture. Before closing the stall in the evening, she actually fell in love with a huanghuali Eight Immortals table in the west wing of a large courtyard in Zhujia Alley.

Of course, she wouldn't say it was a good thing. After reading it, the seller asked her.

"How's it going, little girl, this table is very sturdy. If we hadn't moved, we wouldn't be willing to sell it."

Ding Wei pretended to knock and touch it, and waved her hand to Lu Ying.

"Let's go,"

The seller was anxious: "Hey, little girl, don't you want this table?"

Ding Wei pointed to the cracks on the table: "Uncle, it's not that I don't want it. Look, there are cracks on it. It's still so old and worthless. There are a lot of them out there, and your asking price is not low. Forget it, let's go again.

Go and have a look.”

"Then how much do you think is appropriate? You can just give me any price and take it away. Look, I have all the furniture on display. It would be too troublesome to carry it inside. Tell me, you don't mind the 100 yuan I mentioned."

If the price is high, then you make a price, and if I think it’s good, I’ll sell it to you.”

Ding Wei shook her head and looked at Lu Ying: "I don't want it anyway, do you think you want it? If you want it, talk to him and I'll go inside and take a look."

As soon as Lu Ying saw Ding Wei's eyes, he knew that his little girl had taken a liking to this table. After seeing so many places, she talked a lot with this family and left without even looking at the others. What do you think?

He looked at it, touched it, and even asked him to come over to negotiate the price. What a villain.

Lu Ying frowned and went over to touch it and take a look.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it, except for a few cracks here. But look at the old furniture for so many years, how can it not have any bumps or bumps? Little brother, if you really like it, why don't I sell it to you cheaply? You won't even say anything.

One hundred, eighty, eighty, do you think it’s possible?”

Lu Ying directly stretched out his hand: "Fifty, you see, I have to say that I don't like my partner. If I didn't think it was strong, I wouldn't like it either. If you want it, I will make a decision. If you think it won't work, then

Just pull him down."

In the end, the seller reluctantly sold it. He had no choice but to move in a hurry. His wife was not happy to have these broken pieces of furniture, so she could only exchange them for money to buy fashionable furniture.

After Lu Ying happily gave the money, the seller still greeted,

"Don't leave in a hurry, you two. Look at the Taishi chair here. I also have an old-fashioned canopy bed at home, and the stool over there is very sturdy!"

But after Ding Wei walked around and came out, she winked at Lu Ying, and the two of them pulled up the Eight Immortals table and left. After exiting the alley, Ding Wei became happy.

"Oh, I didn't expect to be so lucky today. I got a whole huanghuali table from Taobao. It's not in vain. OK, you can bargain to fifty. It's amazing! The key is that you cooperate with me well. Good job.

It’s beautiful. We’ll come over next week, but if we can’t, we’ll also go to the surrounding countryside to see if there are any rare furniture.”

"How did you tell that this was Huanghuali? When did you become interested in antiques?"

Ding Wei shook her head, "Don't you understand this? These are good things left by our ancestors. It's a pity that so many of them were destroyed in the past. Now it's not easy to love these things that are still intact.

Now, I plan to renovate my house into a Chinese style. I plan to find antique furniture to match the furniture inside, and then I will find a master to polish and paint it again. Isn’t it better looking than the tables, chairs and benches nowadays?”

Lu Ying is not interested in these things. Of course, what the person says is what he says. In his opinion, a red rosewood and a yellow rosewood is just a broken table. How much is it worth?

As soon as Ding Wei saw him acting like that, she knew that she was playing the piano to a cow. Fortunately, this guy was very cooperative with her and obedient. He could tell what she wanted to do with just one look. Just this. It didn't matter if he didn't understand, as long as he understood what she meant.

.

Carrying the huanghuali and eight immortals table home, the house seems to have more space.

This is not Lu Ying's first time here, but he repeats a sentence every time he comes.

"You really have too much money and no place to spend it. You said that your family has already rented such a large house. Why do you want to rent another house? You have to go to such trouble to decorate it. In the end, you have to give someone else's house a cheaper price."

, what are you trying to figure out?”

It can be said that now only their own family members know about Ding Wei's purchase of a house. To the outside world, all houses that do not belong to them are described as rented.

Indeed, it is normal for Lu Ying not to understand, and Ding Wei does not want to explain too much.

"The owner of this house also went out of town and won't be back in a short time. I wanted to have a private space, so I rented it. You also know that my family has opened a restaurant and can't be quiet anymore, and there is still a lot of noise at home.

With a nanny and children, I always feel that home is too messy.

The environment was not conducive for me to write a book, so I rented another apartment. This apartment was too shabby when I first rented it. How about giving me ten yuan a month for such a large apartment? I didn’t think it would last a year.

For a few dollars, why don’t I spend some money to renovate it so that I can live more comfortably?”

Lu Ying definitely couldn't understand Ding Wei's way of thinking. Fortunately, he was not a person who broke the casserole and asked the truth. After the two put down the furniture, they returned to the courtyard. Without cooking, they tried a bowl at Dingji.

Zhao Qingqing was also very happy after receiving praise from Lu Ying for casserole noodles.

"This is a new product I plan to make in September. There are also Malatang and rice noodles of the same type. Today your dad and I went to the vegetable market and saw that there is a special place selling these vermicelli vermicelli rice noodles and yuba. The variety is quite complete. I originally wanted to

If not, we will grind and make it ourselves. Now that it is sold, it will be much easier. Just buy it ready-made."

Those are not the only things that come and go in snack bars. Anyway, what they sell is quantity and popularity. Isn’t it the taste that has been established for decades? So Ding Wei said early on that as long as there is profit, it will be enough.

You don’t need to earn too much. Once people can’t control their greed, they are not far from bankruptcy.

In the first week of her junior year, she found a huanghuali table. On the second Monday of school, she saw the school's red list. This time, her scholarship was the first in the medical department, and she received a full scholarship of 230 yuan.

, Xiumin and Xiumin also exceeded one hundred yuan. This is the same as her reward for two months of hard work. Why is she unhappy?

Ma Xiaoxia's grades were already very good and she was smart. Since she started studying seriously, she has been improving all the way. She didn't get a scholarship in the first semester, but she got a single subject award of 20 yuan in the second scholarship. Although it was not much, it was

It is also an encouragement to her, and she is super satisfied and ready to share it with Tan Yue.

The eldest brother comes to the school to visit her whenever he has time. Now Ma Xiaoxia has friends, a partner, and the care of their family. She has a place to live inside and outside the school. She no longer has to think about the messy things in her hometown. She is in a better mood.

, when a person is mentally happy, he will naturally become a normal person.

Xiumin and her third brother have been exchanging letters. Letters to her are usually forwarded by Xiumin, which makes her a little annoyed.

"Look at the letters written to you. There are five or six eloquent letters. You look at the letters written to me, half of them. They are really treated differently."

Xiumin couldn't help laughing: "Look at what you said, who is like you, seeing his partner every day? Don't say that we have double standards. Are you also a double standard? Since you started dating Lu Ying, you said that you and Lu Ying

Is the proportion of my meals declining significantly?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. It's obvious that you don't want to eat with us."

Xiumin looked at her speechlessly: "Sister, you said that you and Lu Ying are usually studying, and you just want to talk for a while during lunch. Can I go with you? Why don't I want to go with you on the other hand?

, Aren’t I afraid of causing trouble to you two? Okay, okay, let’s not talk about each other, just take care of the things in front of us.”

Ding Wei pursed her lips. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that since they each had a partner, they had really reduced the number of meals. Unless she or Lu Ying were busy, they would eat by themselves.

Going to have a meal, or being pampered and brought back by Xiumin, the two of them used to go to have meals together at any time. It can only be said that some people have entered her life unknowingly.
