Chapter 431 Meeting an Old Friend

Ning Xiyue walked towards the kitchen, where the whole family was busy preparing dinner.

Yun Mu, who was washing dried mushrooms, put down what he was doing and asked, "Yue Yue, how is the matter going? Is it done?"

"It's done." Ning Xiyue nodded, walked over and pulled her mother and father out of the kitchen: "Mom, A Yan and I will cook this dish tonight, you and Dad can sit down and have a rest."

Yun Xiulan saw that all the young people in the room were here and everyone knew how to cook, so she simply agreed and pulled the old man to the yard:

"Okay, you guys do it. I'll go study the issue of growing vegetables in the field with your dad and figure out how to do it. Datou, you stay and eat, and I'll go get Erhua later."

"Okay, Auntie." Big Head nodded in agreement.

Yun Xiulan walked a few steps and thought of something, then turned back and asked, "By the way, girl, what time is the meeting for the house tomorrow?"

Big Head knew best, he answered first: "Auntie, the appointment is at nine in the morning, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

"I am in Beijing thanks to your help. Thank you, Big Head. Remember to come here for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Yun Xiulan held Datou's hand and expressed her gratitude until Datou could no longer resist his enthusiasm and agreed to come over for breakfast. Then she was in a good mood and directed the boss, who was holding a steel measuring tape, to measure the land in the open space in the yard.

The next day, early in the morning, the Ning family dressed up and prepared to go out, and the family was divided into two teams.

Erhua took Ning Qingzhi and his wife, as well as Ning Qingyuan, for a walk nearby.

On the other side, Ning Xiyue and Ji Yanming took Yun Xiulan and Ning Hai into the car driven by Datou to discuss the matter of the two-in-one courtyard house.

Yun Xiulan was afraid that she would fail to meet expectations when she was discussing such an important matter for the first time. She asked nervously as she was about to get off the car, "My girl, is my hair messy? Is there anything wrong with my clothes?"

"It's not messy, the clothes are very good."

Ning Xiyue held Yunmu's hand and comforted her:

"Mom, it's okay, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it, we should act calm and not let the other party guess what's going on. This house doesn't have to belong to him, we have money, so we don't have to worry about not being able to buy a house."

"Yeah, you're right. Don't worry about it. Let's go and get out of the car." Yun Xiulan regained her confidence, opened the door and pulled her daughter out of the car.

Ning Hai saw his wife in high spirits, smiled and shook his head, then followed her downstairs.

Ji Yanming and Datou Shang went forward and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man. After seeing the familiar big head with vigilant eyes, he smiled and opened the door to invite: "You are here, please come in."

Ning Xiyue took her mother's hand and stepped into the yard.

"Ding, the sign-in location, the second courtyard, is found. Host, are you sure you want to sign in?"

As Xiyue put her back foot in, the familiar system sign-in voice rang out. In such a quaint courtyard, she had to sign in anyway.

"Sign in."

"Sign in successfully. Congratulations to the host for winning the red sandalwood furniture gift package, including 20 solid wood beds, 20 sets of solid wood tables and chairs, 20 solid wood bookcases, 20 solid wood wardrobes, 20 solid wood cupboards, 20 solid wood wine cabinets, and 20 solid wood sofas."

Ning Xiyue: Ahhhh, whose generous son is this? Really, she cried to death.

This is probably because they knew she bought so many courtyard houses and had so many rooms that they specially sent her furniture.

Such a thoughtful Tongzi.

"Thank you, Mr. Sponsor, oh no, Tongzi's father."

Ning Xiyue was so touched. Now she didn’t have to buy furniture. She could just find time to install the furniture later. It was simple and convenient.

It is still red sandalwood furniture, which is one of the best woods ranked at the top. It will be a fortune in the future and it is very expensive.

Ning Xiyue was excited on the inside and on the outside, and whispered in Yunmu's ear: "Mom, we must take this house. It will be the best base for our family."

The key point is that she already has furniture. It would be a disgrace to the furniture made of precious wood to put it in her shabby houses.

It still has to be placed inside the gate of this old courtyard house to match.

"Yeah, that's what Mom meant."

Yun Xiulan was also a little excited while holding Ning Xiyue's hand. She had never lived in such a nice house in her life. Now she was not young anymore and had worked hard for so many years. It was time to enjoy herself more.

This yard was indeed the house they were discussing today.

When the mother and daughter saw the front door at the door, they were already full of expectations for the house.

After stepping through the gate and entering the front yard, I saw the scene inside and loved this house even more. The house was not damaged at all, and the ancient atmosphere was overwhelming. The carvings on the stone walls were beautiful.

How could the mother and daughter who love to see beautiful things not love this?

The middle-aged man in front, Comrade Yang, was the one who advocated selling the house. As they walked inside, he introduced the layout of the house to them.

They came in from the main gate on the right, and on the left side of the gate facing the street was a row of back houses, where the rooms for receiving guests, toilets, etc. were all, for a total of four rooms.

When you walk in, you see a long and narrow front yard. Walking forward, you will reach the corridor.

Seeing this corridor, Ning Xiyue couldn't help nodding. She no longer had to worry about wind or rain in the future. She could go to the rooms in the inner courtyard through this corridor without carrying an umbrella.

Yun Xiulan, who was standing next to her, whispered in her ear that she liked this corridor and that she could sit down there and make tea while enjoying the view when it rained or snowed.

Ning Xiyue knew that Yunmu had the feeling of a literary young man.

They passed through the hanging flower gate and entered the spacious inner courtyard. The area of ​​the inner courtyard was really large. Yunmu was already planning which piece of it to cultivate as a vegetable garden if he could really buy the house later.

Ning Xiyue planned to use two of the four corners of the inner courtyard to plant some medicinal herbs.

There was a table and a bench in the middle of the yard, and a middle-aged woman stood beside them. She greeted them with a smile, invited them to sit down, and poured them tea.

After sitting down, Comrade Yang pointed to the houses around the inner courtyard and introduced them.

The two brothers used the main room in the middle as a dividing line to divide the east and west wing rooms on both sides of the inner courtyard, and the east and west ear rooms on both sides of the main room facing the hanging flower gate into two.

The east side is the part owned by the middle-aged man.

The house on the west side belongs to another brother, the person we are going to interview today.

"My niece is now in charge of the west wing. The child just woke up and she went to help the child get dressed. I may have to trouble you to wait for a while."

Comrade Yang said this with an apologetic look on his face, then turned to look at his wife and urged her, "Go get them over here."

"Hey, I'll go right away."

"It's okay, take your time. The children are important and we have time." Yun Xiulan understood when she heard the child and said she didn't mind and shook her head in a friendly manner.

Others don't mind waiting.

Comrade Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

His wife quickly ran to the west wing and knocked on the door: "Nannan, the guests are here, are you ready?"

A voice came from inside: "I'll be right out. Aunt, please let uncle entertain the guests first."

"Your uncle is entertaining us. Please hurry up here. If you can't, let me take care of the child for you. Don't let the guests wait anxiously." Comrade Yang's wife said anxiously, knocked on the door and said, "I'm coming in."

Comrade Yang's wife went in to replace her niece in taking care of the children.

After a while, a young female comrade walked out of the door of the west wing and walked towards the center of the yard.

The closer she got, the more familiar one of the figures with his back to her looked. She called out uncertainly, "Ning Xiyue?"

This sound made everyone look towards the young lesbian.

Ning Xiyue was slightly surprised when she heard someone calling her name. Is there anyone in this capital who knows her? Who is it?

She turned around with a puzzled look on her face to see what was going on. When she saw the person in front of her, she said in surprise, "It's you! Are you Comrade Yang's niece?"
