No matter how long the road is, there will be a day to finish it. No matter how many attractions there are, there will be a day when time will run out.

After visiting Prince Gong's Mansion, Ye Fan and the others spent a few days visiting several places, and it was getting closer and closer to the time for Zeng Li to get her diploma and go home to report.

In the meantime, Wu Jing also called and told Ye Fan that he had successfully won the leading role in the movie "The Kung Fu Kid". Ye Fan was also happy for Wu Jing and congratulated him sincerely. Hearing Wu Jing say

I wanted to treat him, so I readily agreed to attend the appointment.

There were only a few days left, everyone had visited all the attractions that they should visit, and Wu Jing also left for Hong Kong Island.

Seeing that Ye Fan was finally free, Ye Jianguo told Ye Fan the news about the courtyard houses for sale. After Ye Jianguo's explanation, Ye Fan learned that there were many courtyard houses for sale in this era, and some wanted to change to commercial housing.

The country is not optimistic about it, so I sold it and wanted to immigrate...

In short, there is no shortage of people selling them now, so I don’t have to worry about not having enough to buy, and you can also choose and buy them, so I asked Ye Fan to go and have a look when he has time.

When Ye Fan heard this, he could only lament the good luck of his elder brother Long. He came to Yanjing in the 1990s and bought 8 courtyard houses. The most expensive one cost only 500,000 yuan. After 20 years, these courtyard houses alone will not be needed anymore.

Sad.

It happened that Cao Xin and Zeng Li didn't know what to do these two days. After hearing what Ye Jianguo said, they said they would take this opportunity to accompany Ye Fan to see the courtyard house.

Ye Fan didn't care, and asked Ye Jianguo to contact him first, and then go and have a look together.

If Ye Fan had inquired by himself, I don't know how long it would have taken Ye Jianguo and Lin Fang to find them much faster. After all, they had found many connections over the years, such as near Jingshan Park, Beiluogu Lane, and Dashi Zuo

Hutong, Xidan Lingjing Hutong...all of these places are for sale.

Fortunately, there was a car this time. Lin Fang and Zhang Yue helped Ye Jun to see the store. Ye Jun drove the car, and Ye Jianguo took the car, plus Ye Fan, to see the courtyard together.

While watching, the others didn't feel anything. Ye Fan discovered that the courtyards his grandfather was looking for were all very nice courtyards, and he wanted to buy every one of them. His mouth watered when he saw them.

In the process of looking at it, Ye Jun and Ye Jianguo understood the reason why Ye Fan wanted to buy a courtyard house. The price went up too fast, because they only knew the price in Jingshan before, but after inquiring about the price of courtyard houses in other places, they

I know that in some places, a courtyard house only cost 10,000 yuan in 1990, and 20,000 yuan could buy a large courtyard. But now, by 1995, the price has increased dozens of times, and the price is 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per square meter.

Ye Jun and Ye Jianguo didn't talk much when they were looking at the yard, but as soon as they got in the car, Ye Jun suddenly became more active than Ye Fan, and kept asking Ye Jianguo where the next place was and if there were any for sale.

A leaky yard can be picked up.

Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh, but Ye Fan knew that after 1996, after inflation stabilized, a square meter of a courtyard house would cost more than 8,000 yuan per square meter. The closer to 2000, the price of a courtyard house would rise faster and faster, let alone 08

After the Olympics.

In the end, I chose a 300-square-meter courtyard in Jingshan. Although the yard was large, it was very old and needed renovation. In addition, it was introduced through a relationship. I finally bought it for 300,000 yuan, and the renovation would cost a lot more.

It cost a lot of money, but as long as the yard and land were there, Ye Fan wouldn't be in a hurry for renovations or anything like that.

In addition, I also spent 500,000 to buy a courtyard house of similar size in Lingjing Hutong, Xidan, because the location of this house is better, the alley street is the widest, and the courtyard buildings are well preserved, so there is no need for major renovations, so the total price

More expensive.

At this point, Ye Fan has almost spent all his royalties and his savings have bottomed out. Fortunately, the royalties are stable and will continue to come in later.

If it weren't for Ye Fan's family being unaccustomed to loans and the older generation's ideas, Ye Fan wouldn't be able to say anything. Otherwise, he would have to ask Ye Jun to help him get a loan first. But next year, Ye Fan will get his identity

With the certificate and bank statement, it will be much more convenient to borrow money by yourself.

During this period, Ye Fan accompanied Zeng Li to get her graduation certificate. During the subsequent house viewing process, although Zeng Li didn't say anything, Ye Fan could feel that as time passed, Zeng Li's emotions were getting better.

down.

Ye Fan asked his father and grandfather to handle the follow-up procedures for buying a yard. After all, they had to cooperate with some departments in the imperial city to do some review. Ye Fan accompanied Zeng Li to buy a train ticket, and learned that Zeng Li also wanted to help.

Classmate Yuan Quan bought tickets.

Through Zeng Li's explanation, Ye Fan learned that Yuan Quan and Zeng Li had known each other since they were young in the Children's Palace, and they went to Yanjing to study Peking Opera together.

However, because Yuan Quan had a relatively low self-esteem at this time, which may have something to do with having such a beautiful classmate as Zeng Li, he was usually quiet and withdrawn, and was not very gregarious.

In addition to attending classes, Zeng Li usually spends a lot of time at Ye Fan's house, so their communication is limited to classmates.

However, the two of them had made an appointment to ride home together before. This time, Zeng Li wanted to stay for a while longer, while Yuan Quan wanted to go back early, so Zeng Li felt sorry for herself and offered to buy a ticket for her, and Yuan Quan agreed.

Already.

It is difficult to buy train tickets in this era. You have to queue for hours. When it was finally Zeng Li's turn, Ye Fan was a little distracted when he saw Zeng Li buying tickets. He almost bought the wrong tickets, so Ye Fan had to go up and help.

Make it clear and then buy the ticket.

When walking out of the station, Zeng Li looked at Ye Fan with a resentful look and said, "Xiao Fan, do you want me to leave? I didn't even know if you wanted me to leave. You knew I bought the wrong ticket and you bought the ticket for me."

"No way, Sister Li, don't you have a set time to report to the unit? Aren't I afraid of delaying your reporting?" Ye Fan said with an aggrieved face: "I definitely don't want you to leave, but didn't we agree before,

You go back and take a look first, and if I really have this idea, why don’t I do nothing during this period and travel with you? You also know that I have a lot of things to do, and I have put them all down during this period."

Zeng Li was also aware of this problem, but as the parting was approaching, she was so upset that she lost her composure. After hearing Ye Fan's words and knowing the sacrifices Ye Fan had made during this period, she said with an embarrassed look: "I'm sorry, Xiao Fan, I

…”

Before Zeng Li could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ye Fan: "Sister Li, there's no need to say sorry, I understand."

After Ye Fan finished speaking, he looked at Zeng Li who was still not happy. He thought for a while and then said: "Sister Li, don't be unhappy. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this, so I'll give it to you first.

Tell me."

After hearing this, Zeng Li finally cheered up, raised his head, and looked at Ye Fan curiously with his big spiritual eyes, without saying a word, with a strong desire for knowledge in his eyes.

Seeing Zeng Li's rare cute expression, Ye Fan's heart almost melted, so he said gently: "On the day you come home, I have prepared a gift for you and planned to give you a surprise that day, but seeing you like this,

I can only tell you in advance."

Zeng Li replied: "Have you prepared a gift? Okay, what kind of gift is it?"

Ye Fan smiled and said: "I have already told you that I have prepared a gift for you, and if I tell you what it is, then there will be no surprise at all. Just wait and see."

Zeng Li's curiosity was aroused and her mood improved. Seeing that Ye Fan didn't say anything, she said coquettishly: "Oh, Xiao Fan, just tell me. I promise to pretend not to know when the time comes."

Seeing Zeng Li's coquettish appearance, Ye Fan felt secretly happy, but in order to divert her attention, he deliberately touched each other's arms with his hands, and said with a cold look on his face: "Sister Li, don't be like this.

I said I can’t say it now, you’re giving me goosebumps. Okay, okay, I’ve bought the tickets, I’d better go back quickly!” After saying that, he ran away immediately.

"Ye Fan! What did you say? If you have the guts, tell me again!" Zeng Li was indeed fooled, and immediately became heroic and shouted to Ye Fan.

"Just a little bit~" Ye Fan turned around and made a face as he ran, "I'll just tell you what you ask me to say. Then wouldn't I be very shameless? If you have the ability, you can catch me, hahahaha."

When Zeng Li saw Ye Fan's look, she was angry and funny. Without saying a word, she just opened her long legs and started to chase after him.

Ye Fan didn't say anything when he saw it, but acted directly. He was sure that this was a ruthless person.

In this way, relying on Ye Fan's jokes, Zeng Li successfully diverted Zeng Li's attention, and returned home playfully.

Back home, Ye Fan looked at Zeng Li who was smiling again, chatting happily with Cao Xin. Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, returned to his room, and continued to code "Guanshan Taibao",

Fortunately, the prequel doesn't have many words, so I can finish it in a few days, and it will also be used as one of the gifts for Zeng Li.

When Zhang Yue came back in the evening, Ye Fan specifically asked about Yuan Quan. After all, Yuan Quan was also Zhang Yue's student.

Zhang Yue asked Ye Fan curiously: "How do you know her? I haven't seen her for a long time."

Ye Fan replied: "Isn't this what Sister Li mentioned when I went to buy tickets today? I just asked out of curiosity."

"It's a pity for her. She is also tall and has long legs, but Zeng Li's movements are more standard than hers. In addition, she is not confident about her appearance, which makes her feel quite inferior. In fact, she is quite beautiful, and her eyes are

She is big, tall, and has an outstanding temperament. Although she is not as good as Xiaoli, she is still very good." Zhang Yue said regretfully: "I usually care about her at school, and I also want her to come and play with Xiaoli. Maybe

In addition, her training was quite hard, which resulted in her becoming a bit withdrawn. She stopped coming to our house and would not go to any activities. I didn’t have much choice but to take care of her at school. After she was admitted to the academy, she was no longer there.

How come we’ve seen each other before?”

Ye Fan said: "That's it. I just asked casually. If there's nothing else, Mom, I'll go back to the room." After saying that, he changed back to the room.

…

Anyone who has been there should know that most days of separation become calmer as they get closer. This is also the case for Zeng Li. It is not her character to make a fuss when she leaves. After all, who knows when she will come back.

Woolen cloth?

Just like that, the day finally came for Zeng Li to go home. On this day, Ye Fan and his family saw Zeng Li off together.

Before leaving, Ye Jianguo and Lin Fang were reluctant to leave the little girl and prepared many specialties for Zeng Li to take back.

"Okay, grandma, you have prepared so many things. She is a little girl with so much luggage, so she can't carry so much." Ye Fan looked helplessly at the two enthusiastic old people and said, "Grandpa, Sister Li

There is still some luggage over there and I asked her to put it here to prepare for mailing. I will send it through the postal service later."

After hearing Ye Fan's words, the two elders stopped what they were doing and watched Ye Fan put Zeng Li's luggage into the car.

Then Ye Fan sat in the passenger seat, leaving Cao Xin, Zhang Yue, and Zeng Li in the back seat.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Ye Jun started the car. As Zeng Li said goodbye to everyone at the entrance of the courtyard at the window, the car slowly drove towards the entrance of the alley.

Ye Fan, who was sitting in the front, gradually heard the sound of crying coming from the back seat. Looking back, Zeng Li had indeed started to cry. After all, not to mention Ye Fan, Zeng Li had been living in the yard for a long time.

Everyone liked this little girl very much, and eventually Ye Fan felt that both his elders regarded her as their own granddaughter.

Ye Fan can only say that although Zeng Li is from Jingzhou, he usually has a carefree personality. In addition, he has lived in Yanjing for a long time, and he feels like a big girl from Yanjing. He is beautiful and has a sweet mouth, which is difficult to let people know.

I don't like it. After all these years, if Ye Fan hadn't been a child himself, he might have gained a good sister.

Ye Fan was about to say a few words of comfort, but he saw that Cao Xin and Zhang Yue's eyes were red, and they both started crying while chatting. Well, now Ye Fan has no choice. He is not at this level to solve the problem.

Ye Jun looked at each other, closed his mouth and looked ahead silently, as if the scenery in front was so beautiful.

Fortunately, when they arrived at the train station, the three girls finally calmed down. Ye Fan took the bag containing the gifts and got off the car to pick it up. Then everyone entered the train station.
