Over the years, many people have lived in it, and it's no different from a slum. But they have Jin Zichu, so after cleaning it up, the yard is quite nice. The total area is twice as large as the Xu family's yard, and it also has a large garden.

According to the current market price, it is worth tens of thousands. Of course, it cannot be compared with the money donated by Xu Manman.

However, this yard was donated, and if I give it away as a favor, it would be equivalent to no cost after rounding it off, so why not do it?

Moreover, Xu Manman also saw that the location of this courtyard was really great. It was just a few steps away from the Xu family courtyard, and it was connected to the three-courtyard that Xiao Jin had said he would clean up before, and it was surrounded by a large courtyard that Xiao Jin had collected.

If this is opened up, the area will be no different from that of a royal palace.

Xu Manman was quite satisfied with her uncle's selection, so she called him back and said, "Let Zichu take full responsibility for the courtyard decoration and design. Don't worry about the money, just do it well."

Xu Lei also agreed very readily. Originally, he wanted to let Zichu come. He had been watching him closely for the past two years and thought that the kid was really good.

February 12, 1983, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xu Manman, Xu Jianguo and Caleb spent their last New Year in the United States in the apartment.

A month later, on the day before the Dragon Raising Day on the second day of the second lunar month, Xu Manman and Xu Jianguo packed their bags and boarded the plane back home.

This time, it can really be said that she returned home in glory. After getting off the plane, her uncle came to pick her up in person. Xu Manman also brought a lot of luggage with her, some of which were sent through freight channels. Although they were sent out half a month in advance, they should still be floating on the sea.

Xu Lei was particularly happy to see his niece. "Come home quickly. I took a day off today because I knew you were coming back."

The orderly who came with Xu Lei blushed a little when he saw the doctoral niece that the leader always talked about. He had heard from his comrades that Leader Xu's niece was very outstanding and beautiful, but he didn't expect her to be so beautiful, like a fairy.

However, as a soldier, he immediately retracted his eyes and kept his eyes straight while driving.

Xu Lei sat in the back seat and chatted with Xu Manman, "So, you guys are going to report to school this afternoon?"

"Well, school has already started. Jianguo's classes have already been postponed because of my problem, so we can't delay it any further."

Speaking of which, Peking University and Tsinghua University were really considerate in order to keep her. Knowing that she couldn't let go of the project she was working on, they thoughtfully extended her courses and even slowed down the arrangements for her younger brother Xu Jianguo.

But now that she's back, she really can't waste any more of everyone's time.

"Will the classes be scheduled right away? Can Jianguo adapt?" He didn't ask Xu Manman, which showed that he had full confidence in his niece's abilities.

Xu Jianguo turned from the co-pilot seat and said, "Uncle, I can do it. My cousin also faxed me his previous teaching plan in advance."

He wasn't completely idle these days, as his sister was busy working at the apartment.

Xu Manman also said, "The class schedule has actually been arranged in advance. This afternoon I will go there to formally complete the onboarding process and deal with some paperwork. Classes will officially start tomorrow."

Xu Lei nodded and said nothing else. Naturally, if you make preparations in advance, there is nothing to worry about.

When she got home, she found that everyone in Beijing was waiting for her at Xu's house. What surprised Xu Manman was that her second cousin Li Han was pregnant. Her eldest cousin Zhang Wenjun had been studying medicine for five years and would not graduate until she finished her internship this semester, so she had no plans to get pregnant for the time being.

When the relatives saw them, they naturally kissed each other for a while, but because Xu Manman and Xu Jianguo had to report to school in the afternoon, everyone didn't make a fuss for too long and let them go back to rest after lunch.

Xu Lei gave her the title deed and house deeds of the new courtyard as soon as they got home, and before dinner, a group of people went to take a look.

In this yard, apart from Xu Manman herself, the elders are the happiest people.

Xu Lei had a proud look on his face. "I specifically asked for this yard. It's in such a great location. When Manman gets married, she can live here too. She can go home right away."

Xu Gang also agreed with his brother's words, "That's right. It's a pity that the two houses above here are not for sale. Otherwise, I would buy them and connect them together. Then I can break through the wall and don't have to walk through the main road to get home."

These words made Xu Manman feel a little uneasy. The two rooms her father wanted to buy were bought by Jin Zichu in advance. Of course, it was impossible to sell them. She just didn't know what her father would think when he knew about this.
