Song Yan: "Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao are indeed good people. My third aunt used to live with them and got used to it, but she may not get used to it in the future."

Ideally, you should all have your own houses and try to live as close as possible to each other.

If I need anything, I just give you a call and you'll be there. Otherwise, we don't bother each other.

Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao are more comfortable living here now, and they can stay in Kyoto for a little longer..."

Song Yan wanted his third aunt and Lao Qiao to each contribute half the money to buy the small courtyard so that the couple could live together.

Or, we could let Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao live in this small courtyard, while they live in the big courtyard. Wouldn't that be nice?

House prices are constantly rising; if you buy one, you'll only make a profit, not a loss.

What Song Yan didn't mention was that with these properties, Auntie San's later years would be secure. She could use the properties for retirement.

Old Joe paid half the price for the house, and the rest was enough for the wedding.

Auntie and Old Qiao both think this is a good way to handle things.

Song Yan also specifically reminded Lao Qiao to keep a close eye on the house allocated by his work unit.

You can't tell people that Old Joe bought a house; you have to say that he lives in the woman's house.

This house can be left to Qiao Huan in the future.

A house, regardless of its size or whether it is now or in the future, is always a substantial dowry.

A girl with a generous dowry will have more confidence in the future.

Old Joe thought it had to be someone who knew how to do business, someone who could handle money matters with perfect clarity.

Old Qiao felt very comforted that they were still thinking about Qiao Huan.

If Song Yan knew what Lao Qiao was thinking, she would definitely say, "This is not something that can be easily figured out, is it?"

I'll go find Wen Dajun and ask him to buy the remaining three households.

These houses are all located in areas that will be demolished in the future!

From now on, everyone will want a house.

Collecting rent every month is wonderful!

Everyone sat at the table, in good spirits.

The reason why Lao Qiao didn't remarry all those years was because he was afraid that Qiao Huan would be wronged.

Qiao Huan and Xiao Liu have a harmonious relationship now, and it couldn't be better.

Old Joe was indeed devoted to his third aunt, and he was satisfied with her as a person and with her family.

The only thing I don't want to do is live in her house.

He paid half the money for the courtyard, and Old Joe still felt a little apologetic.

The man should pay for the house when they get married, but the woman ended up paying half of the cost.

Sigh! I need to write more articles when I have time!

But this is already very good.

As for Song Yan's question about housework, it's not that I can't do it.

Once the dishes were served, they began their meal.

The food at this little restaurant does indeed have a very unique flavor.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

Meanwhile, Leng Zhaojiang's mood worsened as he waited for Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Today is Sunday, and Jiang Xiaoxiao is usually off work.

But when Leng Zhaojiang went to find Grandma Jiang, Grandma Jiang said there was an event at school and she went to the school.

When Leng Zhaojiang went to look for her, she wasn't there. He heard that her school was going to participate in a performance, and Jiang Xiaoxiao had taken the students to rehearse.

Leng Zhaojiang happened to have something to do, so he asked a teacher at the school to tell her that he was waiting for her at this small restaurant.

The school teachers also knew that Leng Zhaojiang was Jiang Xiaoxiao's boyfriend.

Teacher Jiang's boyfriend is here; they will definitely pass on the message.

Leng Zhaojiang kept checking his watch. Why hadn't Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived yet? Why wasn't she here?

I wonder what Song Yan said to Xiaoxiao?

Even though I haven't done anything wrong, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.

Song Yan's third aunt listened to him without question.

Song Yan suggested that the man buy the house, and her aunt did not object.

Leng Zhaojiang felt that Xiaoxiao would definitely obey Song Yan's words without question.

When he and Xiaoxiao were discussing marriage, Song Yan was also there, interfering and pointing fingers...

Just imagining that scene isn't pleasant.

Leng Zhaojiang laughed at himself a little. He was no longer a 20-year-old lad, so why was he so nervous?

Before Leng Zhaojiang knew how many times he had checked his watch, Jiang Xiaoxiao opened the door to the private room and came in.

"You're here! Are you cold?" Leng Zhaojiang held Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand; her hand was warm.

"The rabbit fur gloves Xiaoyan gave me are so warm!"

"I'm not cold!" Although they had held hands more than once, she was still embarrassed by Leng Zhaojiang's initiative.

Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled her hand away.

Leng Zhaojiang wasn't the type to take advantage of girls, so he let go.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was delayed at work, which is why she arrived late.

The two met and shared their recent situations.

Leng Zhaojiang observed that Xiaoxiao was not unhappy.

Did Song Yan not say anything?

"Xiaoxiao, didn't you say you would come to my house after Song Yan came back?!"

"Song Yan has been back for so long, when are you going to take me home?" Leng Zhaojiang put some food on Jiang Xiaoxiao's plate.

Meeting the parents is definitely out of the question; there are still some things we haven't said yet.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "I wanted to wait for Xiaoyan to come back so we could have a meal together. We'd be treating Xiaoyan."

I don't know when you'll be available. Xiaoyan only has time during holidays.

Let's postpone the trip to your house!

I'm very busy with work right now, let me take a break!

This was just an excuse, Leng Zhaojiang knew it.

Are you so busy with work that you don't take holidays?

Song Yan is back, but Xiao Xiao still refuses to meet her parents. Is it Song Yan who is stopping her?

Leng Zhaojiang couldn't understand why he had to invite Song Yan to dinner first.

Can Song Yan decide how their relationship will progress?

Did Song Yan say anything to you?

When two people are together, it should be about understanding and trusting each other, not letting others dictate our relationship.

If you have any doubts or questions, you can ask me.

"I would never lie to you!" Leng Zhaojiang said seriously.
