Chapter 1760

"Come, come, come, we've arrived, don't forget to take your luggage."

The small van stopped, Little Northeast greeted the three to get off, and then swayed and led the three into the courtyard.

"Over here, the people living here are all old neighbors..."

The courtyard is an authentic large compound, very lively inside. Some people are watching children, some are washing clothes, some are cutting vegetables and cooking, and there are also people beating children, and even faint sounds of quarreling coming from somewhere.

If you look at it for a short time, the human fireworks atmosphere here is very full, a very interesting scene. However, if you look at it for a long time, you won't have the heart to perceive the human fireworks atmosphere, but will feel the hardship of the people's livelihood in it.

After seven turns and eight turns, they arrived at the very inside, and only then did they reach the true location of Winter Goes Spring Comes.

"There's even a big gate here?" Xu Shengli said in surprise.

"You are judging Winter Goes Spring Comes by its appearance. Don't look at it as a large compound and think our Winter Goes Spring Comes conditions are poor. See that? A private gate and a private courtyard! Come in, this is our large courtyard, usually after washing clothes, it's not easy to dry in the basement, you can put them here. Now the weather is warm, you can also sun the quilts, and it's comfortable to sleep at night..."

Little Northeast muttered about the hotel situation again, went into his gatehouse to take out a large bunch of keys, and then led Wang Yan and the three into the basement.

At this time, it was very lively inside, with people washing clothes, cooking, and some people leaving their doors open to gather and play cards, very noisy inside.

Little Northeast led the three to see the rooms, and they were all relatively satisfied.

Zhuang Zhuang said: "I'll book this one too, just this double room. Thank you for bringing me here, Brother Yan, Brother Xu, why don't we tidy up in a while and go out for a meal, my treat."

Xu Shengli touched his head and scrambled to speak: "When you're out and about, you should help each other. From now on, we count as neighbors, and we should help even more. How about this, my treat, we all arrived in the capital, how can we not celebrate."

"Better let me, Brother Xu, if you want to treat, you can treat later, but today it must be my treat. If it wasn't for Brother Yan..."

Noticing Xu Shengli's gaze, Zhuang Zhuang hesitated and said, "Um... Brother Yan, you helped, my money was snatched by the thief, otherwise I might have been sleeping on the street."

Wang Yan said with a smile: "Okay, I won't fight you for it. I see there's a small restaurant at the entrance, fellow, is that one okay?"

"Too okay!" Little Northeast said, "Let me put it this way, that shop is supported by our Winter Goes Spring Comes. If you go over and mention my name, he will definitely give you a cold dish. I won't say how amazing the craftsmanship is, but the portions are large and the price isn't expensive, it wins in being affordable.

These are the keys, you tidy up, if you have anything, look for me anytime. Wait two days to go register and get a temporary residence permit, and then you'll be officially settled in the capital."

"Then I'll tidy up first." Zhuang Zhuang said, and carried her luggage into the room.

Xu Shengli went up diligently to help carry the luggage, as long as he could help Zhuang Zhuang tidy up together.

Wang Yan didn't pay attention to them, and carried his glass bag into the room on his own.

His bed was in the protagonist group's room, together with Xu Shengli and the others. Opening a hotel isn't opening a charity, especially with the positioning of Winter Goes Spring Comes, it must be maximized.

There was also a double bed in the protagonist group's room, and Wang Yan was the upper bunk, which saved him a yuan. In fact, if this wasn't the protagonist group, this room should have been all upper and lower bunks. The configuration of the protagonist group belongs to luxury in this Winter Goes Spring Comes.

As for the double room Zhuang Zhuang lived in, that was even more luxurious.

Wang Yan looked at the pile of sundries on the bed, and many paintings, while cleaning them to the ground, he appreciated them. In general, the technique was passable, above the standard.

Xu Shengli walked in and took a look, then silently tidied up his own bed. On that bed of his, there was also a large pile of things.

After being silent for a while like this, until he heard Wang Yan light a cigarette, Xu Shengli couldn't take it anymore and said: "Wang Yan, what do you think of Zhuang Zhuang?"

"Youthful, beautiful, fashionable, and has temperament, she is also generous, quite good."

"Did you take a fancy to her?" Xu Shengli pursued.

"I can take a fancy to anyone who looks good."

"Brother, I'm telling the truth, don't be angry, I'm really kindly advising you." Xu Shengli first put on armor, then said, "Actually, you and Zhuang Zhuang are particularly incompatible, you two look uncoordinated together, you understand what I mean, right?"

"Understand, I'm a bumpkin from the countryside working in the city, with poor culture, no money, and wearing tattered clothes. On the contrary, you, Xu Shengli, carrying a screenwriter dream, are an ambitious youth, looking quite elegant, right?"

"That's what you said, I didn't say it." Xu Shengli waved his hands repeatedly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.

Wang Yan sneered: "The great screenwriter is still too superficial."

"It's not that I'm superficial, the reality is like this, I'm telling you the truth from the bottom of my heart."

"Keep your truth." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "In the end, it depends on what Zhuang Zhuang thinks. If she doesn't take a fancy to you, isn't it all in vain no matter how compatible you are."

Xu Shengli stopped talking, but he didn't agree in his heart. Wang Yan's standard migrant worker look, Zhuang Zhuang isn't Xiaoli, she would pass him after looking up and down, how could she take a fancy to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didn't pay attention to him either, cleaned up the things on the bed on his own, piled them all on the ground, found a rag to clean it, bought quilts and pillows from Little Northeast and spread them out, and another life of drifting in the north began.

Speaking of which, it seems like it's Wang Yan's first time living in a basement to struggle, another novel experience.

It's just that this experience is indeed not very good. The basement is damp, and with the high temperature, it's very stuffy and uncomfortable. Plus there are many people living there, the smells are mixed, and there is a smell of disinfectant, which can't be called stinky, but it's far from being called good-smelling.

If one lives here for a long time, I'm afraid the whole person will be stained with this basement smell.

Xu Shengli on the other side also tidied up the bed, sat on the edge of the bed flipping through a book, couldn't read it, and seeing Wang Yan lying on the bed in a 'too' shape, he put down the book, stood up sneakily and walked out.

Before long, Wang Yan heard the sound of Xu Shengli enthusiastically helping and Zhuang Zhuang politely thanking him not far away.

Wang Yan really didn't want to bother with Xu Shengli's competition. As the saying goes, if you bloom, the butterflies will come; blindly pleasing is never the best policy.

He lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, his mind not thinking about Zhuang Zhuang's beauty, but calculating what he should do this time.

If he wants primitive accumulation, he definitely can't escape selling his strength. If he wants to do some abstract things, it's not very easy to do, and it takes much more effort. On the contrary, if he sells his strength, he can become well-off in less than ten days or half a month...

Just when he was thinking messily, Xu Shengli walked in and greeted: "Let's go Wang Yan, time to eat."

Zhuang Zhuang also poked her head in, looking at the environment inside, and also looking at the beds of Wang Yan and Xu Shengli.

"Brother Yan, you must be exhausted, you have to eat more in a while, don't be polite with me." Zhuang Zhuang blinked her eyes, looking at the beautiful and explosive muscles on Wang Yan's body.

At this time, Wang Yan had already jumped off the bed with light movements and was sitting on the lower bunk putting on rubber shoes. He naturally noticed Zhuang Zhuang's gaze, so he said with a smile: "Just look at my muscles, it's impossible for me to eat little. And I know you're a little rich woman, it's even more impossible for me to be polite with you."

Zhuang Zhuang smiled standardly: "Right, I'm just afraid you'll be embarrassed to eat, then I, the host, would feel so sorry."

Wang Yan put on his clothes, then locked the room door, and the three left the basement and stepped back into the world of men.

Xu Shengli took a deep breath: "The air outside is fresher, it's much worse even with windows in the room."

Zhuang Zhuang said: "It's just too stuffy, persist, persistence is victory."

"Persistence is barely victory, it's more likely to just persist here forever. Success is victory." Wang Yan took the words and said, "You entered the door of a singer, you became a small screenwriter, able to make a living, that is victory."

"How can you win without persistence?" Xu Shengli hummed, a bit annoyed.

He was chatting with Zhuang Zhuang, this person had to interrupt, it was really annoying.

"You're still a screenwriter, Brother Yan means that persisting until success is victory, persistence without success or even progress is not victory."

"I am victory." Xu Shengli laughed, playing with his own meme.

The restaurant is not far away, after leaving the courtyard and turning to the street corner, there is a small restaurant. It's impossible to say which cuisine this is, anyway, it has everything from all over the world, as long as the boss makes it well, it's put on the menu.

Zhuang Zhuang let the two order dishes, Xu Shengli was quite reserved, not knowing what to order. Wang Yan was much more straightforward, directly ordering four dishes.

Xu Shengli's look at Wang Yan was wrong again, because he hadn't ordered yet, and Wang Yan had already ordered four dishes, and they also saw others eating, the portions were indeed not small.

"Enough, right? The boss also said he'd give a cold dish." Xu Shengli asked Zhuang Zhuang uncertainly.

Zhuang Zhuang was very open: "Order whatever you want to eat, if there's too much you can pack it and take it back, it won't go bad in one night, you can eat it tomorrow too. Besides, Brother Yan's body is so strong, he must be able to eat a lot, right, Brother Yan?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Order four more."

"No, are you treating me like a rich person?" Xu Shengli's eyes widened.

Zhuang Zhuang said: "Brother Xu, since we came to eat, we have to eat well, and we have to drink alcohol. I'm thanking you for your help, and also celebrating our arrival in the capital and settling down, about to start a new life, ordering more is nothing, it's not like I can't afford to treat. If we eat a meal together and are still hungry at the end, what would that look like? Order! Order four more!"

"Look, the host didn't say anything, you're the one shouting first." Wang Yan sat at the table supporting his face, "How do you say it in Beijing dialect? Zhuang Zhuang is generous."

"Then I'll order one more, he ordered all meat, I'll have vinegar cabbage." Xu Shengli was still embarrassed to order.

So Zhuang Zhuang very simply continued to order three more dishes, and also asked for a meatball soup.

"Fine, really became eating a rich person, I think he treats you like a landlord." Xu Shengli muttered.

Zhuang Zhuang didn't say much, opened three bottles of beer, helped pour for the two, first said words of thanks, everyone drank together, and only then started eating and drinking with the first cold dish served.

"Brother Yan, you just said our success is being a singer, being a screenwriter, first entering the door to make a living. Then what is your success?"

Wang Yan said: "In the end, it's still making money, being able to live is success."

Xu Shengli pursued: "Then what do you want to do to make money?"

"Look, didn't the words go back? On the premise of not violating laws and regulations, I'll do whatever makes money."

"There are many things that make money, can ordinary people like us make it?"

Xu Shengli's mouth was quite broken, Wang Yan didn't pay attention to him, drinking and eating.

Zhuang Zhuang asked: "Brother Yan, didn't you have any plans before you came?"

"Three steps, first make money to support yourself, then achieve some career, then enjoy life."

Zhuang Zhuang was a bit speechless, she felt there wasn't a serious word in Wang Yan's mouth.

"I know what you really want to ask is how to make money, right?" Wang Yan laughed, then said, "I plan to set up a stall to sell barbecue."

This is a mature way to start a business, Wang Yan really hasn't done it for a long time. If he were made to do it all the time, he definitely wouldn't, but if he were made to grill for ten days or half a month, he would feel very happy, just as an adjustment.

"Barbecue?" Zhuang Zhuang was surprised.

"Although I look quite like a migrant worker, I didn't think about really going to the construction site to be a laborer."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that." Zhuang Zhuang quickly explained, "Brother Yan, I just didn't expect you to know how to barbecue, I meant the kind of craft that can make money."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Walking in the world, pay attention to having many skills. I know many more, as you get along with me slowly, you'll discover them bit by bit."

"Get along with what, eat the food, you ordered so much, you have to eat more." Xu Shengli quickly interrupted, preventing Zhuang Zhuang from communicating too much with Wang Yan.

Throughout the meal, Xu Shengli had small thoughts, actively showing himself, and obstructing Wang Yan from showing himself.

Of course, Wang Yan didn't show himself, but he ate so much food, and showed himself again.

Watching the pile of things ordered being eaten up, and drinking quite a bit of alcohol, Zhuang Zhuang was amazed: "Brother Yan, if you earn little, I'm afraid it's hard to eat. Not going to restaurants, eating steamed buns every day costs a lot of money."

Wang Yan laughed: "That's why I have to work hard, I can't just gnaw on steamed buns. Let's go."

"Boss, bill." Zhuang Zhuang greeted.

"It's all calculated." The landlady poked her head over and glanced at Wang Yan.

Zhuang Zhuang reacted and said unhappily: "Brother Yan, we agreed on things, why did you secretly pay the bill? Then tell me how much, I'll give you the money."

"Oh, why be so polite?" Wang Yan waved his hands, "It's not like we're only eating this one meal, aren't we still going to be together later? Next time you treat, I definitely won't pay the bill, this time it's like this. Let's go, let's go, tired for a day, drank a bit of alcohol and feel dizzy, going back to tidy up and sleep until dawn, that's comfortable."

Watching Wang Yan light a cigarette and sway away, Xu Shengli gritted his teeth secretly, blaming Wang Yan for not talking about martial arts.

"Zhuang Zhuang, next time we eat, my treat."

"Don't know when we'll eat, talk about it next time." Zhuang Zhuang lifted her feet and left.

Xu Shengli quickly followed: "Tomorrow is fine."

"How much money do I have to eat every day, talk about it when there's a chance later."

Xu Shengli followed Zhuang Zhuang step by step, while Zhuang Zhuang followed Wang Yan...
