After buying the furniture.
Yi Zhonghai called two men at the entrance of the trust shop and hired them to transport the things back to the courtyard house for two yuan.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a young man wearing a military jacket and a felt hat on a bicycle rushed to the trust shop.
After casually throwing the bicycle aside, the young man ran into the shop.
"Master Zhou, Master Zhou, I have something good here.”The young man shouted.
Chen Anhe also cast his gaze toward him. Judging from his attire, he must be a special group of people in the capital, the children of the quad.
In 1958, in order to respond to the call of the country, a large number of soldiers and officials from all over the world gathered here. Due to the large number of outsiders, the courtyard houses and alleys were too crowded for them. Therefore, in order to facilitate their own food, clothing, and housing, they simply built courtyards in and outside the capital.
They had their own system, built against the mountain, with high walls, impenetrable, revealing an inviolable aura. Every main gate of the courtyard was guarded by soldiers in shifts.
Due to the nature of their work, the people inside rarely interacted with the outside world. Over time, the " courtyard " became a mysterious place for the people outside the wall.
The term " children of the quad " was not given by them, but by the children of the alley culture.
To these people, the quad was not only a social circle, but also a symbol of status. They were classmates, colleagues, and colleagues, which closely connected them.
It was very difficult for children in the alley culture to blend in.
There was also a lot of friction between the two cultures.
For example, the bloody romantic TV series that Chen An had watched in his previous life depicted the plot between these two cultures.
There were many good things in the hands of the disciples of the quad. Chen Anhe also wanted to see what he could take out.
When Master Zhou saw the newcomer, he also smiled.
This kid was his old customer. Every time he came, he would get good things.
"Look, I stole this from my father's study.”The young man opened his coat and took out a few books with exquisite covers.
"Books? And in a foreign language?"
"You want to sell these books here?”Master Zhou was speechless. He had thought that it would be something good, but who would have thought that it would be a few books?
"What's wrong? Can't I? This was a foreign book, and it was very precious.”The young man said solemnly.
"They are indeed very precious, but the People's Press has already published the translated versions of your books.”Chen Anhe walked over and pointed at three of the books.
These three books were Tolstoy's Anna. Karenina, Resurrection, and War and Peace had their first versions translated in 1956 and the second in 1957.
Although there were many people who understood Russian during this period, most people would still choose the latter when there was a translated version.
As for the last book, it was the Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway.
It was only published in 1952.
Not many people in the country had this book.
"An He, you know Russian?" Master Zhou asked curiously.
Yi Zhonghai also looked at him curiously.
Chen Anhe casually found an excuse and said,""In the past, our school teacher only knew Russian. I studied with him for a period of time.”
"My teacher also has these books, so I know.”
Two years after Xin was founded, there were 12 Russian language colleges with more than 5000 students.
At the same time, more than 50 colleges and universities have set up Russian specialties and Russian training classes.
All the middle schools in the three northern provinces, as well as those in the capital and other cities, also offered Russian classes.
Therefore, in this period, not all people knew Russian, but there were definitely not few.
It was only when the relationship between the two sides fell into a tense cold war that everyone's enthusiasm for Russian slowly decreased.
"Then you're really amazing. I can't do it. I get sleepy in Russian class.”The young man scratched his head and said.
"My An He has been good at studying since he was young.”Yi Zhonghai patted Chen Anhe's shoulder proudly.
It felt so good to have a child outside to make him proud.
"Then wouldn't no one want my books?”The young man from the quad said with a troubled expression.
He had promised his friends that he would treat them to candy. If he didn't sell them, where would he get the money to buy candy?
"How much are you going to sell these books for?”Chen Anhe asked.
He had the Reading System, so he didn't care about money. What he cared about were some rare books.
A book like this in Russian wasn't something that could be found anywhere in the country.
"Five yuan." The young man thought for a moment and said.
"Alright, then I'll take these books.”Chen Anhe nodded and took out a five-yuan note from his pocket.
"These books are yours." The young man took the money and stuffed all the books into Chen Anhe's arms.
Then, he hurried out and left on his bicycle.
"This kid must have lost a bet with his little friend again.”Master Zhou chuckled.
"Did he come here many times?" Chen Anhe asked.
"Many times. Every time, he can take out something that brightens my eyes.”Master Zhou nodded.
"Then if he brings books over again in the future, help me keep them. I want them.”Chen Anhe said.
"Alright, no problem. Very few people will come to buy books from me anyway.”Master Zhou agreed immediately.
...
It was already past two o'clock when Chen An and Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard house.
There was a large group of people gathered in front of the door, looking at the furniture that Master Ban 'er had brought over.
"This bed is really good. It's shiny and shiny.”
"Not only the bed, but this wardrobe is also made of good wood. First Uncle is too good to his nephew!”
"That's right. I bought clothes and shoes in the morning, a bed and a wardrobe in the afternoon, and even invited Master Wang from next door to build a brick bed. It's going to cost a lot of money here, at least two or three hundred yuan!”
"This uncle spoils his nephew too much. He's already squandering to this extent!”
"It's squandering to your family, but it's nothing to First Uncle. First Uncle is rich. His monthly salary plus subsidies is more than 100 yuan. This bit of money is only his salary for two to three months!”
"It's really infuriating to compare people. My man has worked for so many years, but his salary is only around 40 yuan. Two months of work can't even compare to one month of work!”
"My man is only thirty-three yuan. What did I say?”
......
Many aunties surrounded the furniture and started discussing.
When they saw Yi Zhonghai and Chen Anhe return, they greeted them with friendly smiles.
They could not afford to offend either of them.
Yi Zhonghai was not only a Grade 8 worker in the rolling mill, but he was also a big boss in the yard.
Although Chen Anhe was young, everyone was more afraid of him than Yi Zhonghai. His methods were quite vicious. Didn't you see that the Jia Zhang-shi had been frightened by him?
They did not want to become the next Jia Zhangshi.
