When Huashan arrived in Yanjing, he began to examine the location and feng shui of the houses, and then designed the best imitation ancient buildings.

Niu Dajun first found Lao Lian and asked him to inquire about houses near He Tiantian's house.

Lao Lian is a shrewd person. He had received a telegram from He Tiantian and did his best to help her find a house. Afterwards, Hua Shan was busy registering a company and applying for house renovation, etc.

Even though he has many acquaintances, Niu Dajun still has to run around to many departments to get all sorts of documents and procedures done.

This alone took a month to complete.

After that, we contacted building material suppliers and began purchasing various materials for building the house.

To ensure the quality of the house, Niu Dajun used his connections to find a well-known local builder. To avoid being cheated, Niu Dajun directly contacted a senior leader who managed the construction company's department and arranged to have dinner with the company's head.

Previously, Jiang Dawei, the leader of Hongda Construction Company, thought that Niu Dajun was from out of town and wanted to pass off inferior goods as superior ones to make a fortune. However, when he saw that Niu Dajun had brought a high-ranking leader with him, he immediately gave up his little scheme.

If possible, Niu Dajun wouldn't want things to be this way either. In reality, if you don't do it this way, you can forget about getting the house stipulated in the contract. Houses are special things; unlike food, you can't tear it open, smell it, and immediately tell if it's good or bad. If a house is poorly built, or if it's substandard in a small place, you simply can't tell.

Huashan was supposed to be back in a month, but seeing that Niu Dajun couldn't handle everything by himself, he stayed to help out, since he was just doing things for He Tiantian anyway.

With Lao Lian's help, Niu Dajun bought a courtyard house about one kilometer away from He Tiantian's home. It was a two-and-a-half-courtyard house, not as big as He Tiantian's house, but in similar condition, and cost 330,000 yuan. The house was in good condition; it only needed a little cleaning and some painting before it was ready to move in.

Afterwards, he borrowed another 20,000 yuan from He Tiantian to buy furniture, bedding, and so on, and finally tidied up the two courtyards.

The parents lived in the old main courtyard, while Niu Dajun, Qi Xiaoyan, and the children lived in the back courtyard. The remaining half of the courtyard was not in use for the time being, and Niu Dajun had not cleaned it.

A month later, Qi Xiaoyan, escorted by her elder brother Qi Rongmin, brought her two children and Niu Dajun's retired parents to Yanjing.

Niu Dajun held up a sign at the train station entrance to greet his family, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

As soon as Qi Xiaoyan stood at the gate, she saw Niu Dajun holding a large sign, waiting for them.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xiaoyan was deeply moved. Her husband would do anything for her. Her parents-in-law, worried about them, also came over.

I left my hometown because of her.

Qi Xiaoyan remembered her family's kindness and vowed to treat them even better in the future.

"Dad, Dad!" Upon seeing their father, the two boys ran towards him as if breaking free from their grandparents' hands.

There were many people around, and the cow's parents were worried, so they held their child's hand tightly.

Niu Dajun rented a car to pick up his family.

This is a seven-seater car, just enough for everyone.

After Niu Dajun arrived in Yanjing, He Tiantian bought a used car directly from Qi Zhenghan to give Niu Dajun a makeover. She planned to replace it later once things were settled.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, thank you for your hard work," Niu Dajun said gratefully. "Let's go home."

Qi Rongmin smiled and said, "It's not hard work."

My younger sister and brother-in-law came to Yanjing to make their fortune. We left the family shop to them to run, and they earn a lot of money every month.

My sister is so good to them, what's a little trip for Qi Rongmin to come and see them off?

"Brother Dajun, how long will it take us to get home?" Qi Xiaoyan asked. Now that she had bought a house here, she felt like she had a home here.

"About fifty minutes more, we'll be home soon," Niu Dajun said. "Our house is very big, you'll definitely like it when you see it. By the way, the house we bought is only one kilometer away from Tiantian's house, just a few minutes' walk away."

"That's great," Qi Xiaoyan said. "I wonder when Sister Tiantian and the others will come to Yanjing! With Tiantian around, I feel like I have a pillar of support, and we're not afraid of anything."

“Even if Tian Tian can’t come, she’s already made arrangements for us,” Niu Dajun said. “I’ve also contacted the school for the children, so they can go straight to school after a couple of days of rest.”

"Yes, that's great," Qi Xiaoyan said, chatting and laughing all the way home, and they arrived home quickly.

After getting off the car, Niu Dajun paid the fare, gave the driver a pack of cigarettes, and then led the people inside.

The father and mother of the cow looked at the vermilion gate in front of them, with its bright orange brass lock and high threshold.

“Dajun, this house used to be the courtyard of a wealthy family,” Niu’s father sighed. He never imagined that they could buy such a house at the foot of the capital.

He was initially full of complaints about his son and daughter-in-law coming to Yanjing.

But seeing all this, the father of the cow underwent a major change in his mind.

In ancient times, only high-ranking officials and nobles had such abilities. It's quite a privilege for his son and daughter-in-law to have such a courtyard at the foot of the capital.

The father helped his wife into the courtyard.

The two little guys, Niu Da and Niu Er, couldn't get over the threshold, so they just climbed over it.

Upon entering, there's a screen wall, and beyond that is the second gate to the courtyard. On each side are two rooms. After entering the second gate, Niu Dajun said, "Mom and Dad, the main house is for you. Two rooms are the living room, and the other two are my bedrooms. The east wing is the kitchen and dining room, and the west wing is the guest room. Xiaoyan and I will live in the courtyard behind, with the child. There's another courtyard we don't use, so I haven't cleaned it."

"Great, great, I'm going to look around." The father was delighted and was about to go for a stroll.

Niu Dajun smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go inside and rest for a while. Anyway, we'll see later, and nothing will be missing!"

"No, I have to take a look." The father ignored his son and went to look around.

"Never mind your dad, let's go inside," said Niu Mu, beckoning to Qi Rongmin.

Everyone liked the decorations in the room, which shows that Niu Dajun put a lot of thought into it.

A little while later, the old man returned and said, "That empty yard can't be left to waste. Tomorrow I'll turn over the soil and plant some vegetables."

Originally, I planned to leave after my daughter-in-law and grandson settled down, but now I don't want to leave anymore. I've decided to stay here for a while and soak up some of the imperial city's aura.

"Whatever you want," Niu Dajun said. "I bought the groceries in the kitchen, I'll cook."

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, you can chat inside, I'll go cook too." Qi Xiaoyan followed and went out with her husband.

As for the two children, they have already started playing in the yard.

"Dajun, thank you, you've worked so hard." When they got to the kitchen, Qi Xiaoyan saw that no one was around, so she stood on tiptoe and kissed Niu Dajun on the cheek.

Seeing his wife happy made all of Niu Dajun's hard work seem insignificant.
