After watching the elders leave, the young people looked at each other, wondering where to go for fun in this cold weather. They all glanced at Huo Haocheng, since he was the oldest among them.
"Why are you all looking at me? Today is your engagement day, and you finally have some free time. Shouldn't you be taking them out for a stroll, buying them some gifts or something? Huo Haoshen, are you going to go have fun by yourself without your partner? Hurry up and go pick them up!"
Seeing that they were all looking at him, Huo Haocheng suddenly felt overwhelmed. They were leaving in another day, and now he finally had half a day off to spend with his wife. Who wanted to be with a bunch of third wheels?
"Oh, okay, I'll go pick up Comrade Lu Shuyan now. So, brother, where should we meet later?"
"What gathering? You're free this afternoon. Take your partners and explore the city. Have you bought your return tickets yet?"
"Okay, we get it. Comrade Huo Haocheng just doesn't want us to come along. It's a holiday, and we should all be more considerate. Just ask your partners out, don't be third wheels."
He Yuwei understood what Huo Haocheng meant. He, a bachelor, was being rejected, but what could he do? The girl he liked only wanted to be his friend. Who understood his predicament?
"Brother, this is our first time in the capital. Aren't you going to show us around? We don't know the way at all!"
Hearing He Yuwei's words, Huo Haoshen was somewhat incredulous; his older brother had just abandoned them like that.
“ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh, are you stupid? Comrade Lu Shuyan and Comrade He Yuwei are both native Beijingers! Why don't you let them take you sightseeing, to see Tiananmen Square, to visit the Forbidden City, and maybe even go on a date? Is all your intelligence being used for business? Huh!”
Never before had I felt such a strong urge to rip Huo Haoshen's head off and see if it was filled with tofu dregs. What's wrong with this usually shrewd young man? Has he gone mad from the engagement?
"Ahem, well, Haoshen, you can take the car to pick up Comrade Lu Shuyan. My girlfriend and I will be leaving now."
After saying that, he gestured to He Yuwei, then told He Yuwei that they would go back after dinner, and then the two of them left. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, Huo Haocheng would really take action.
Seeing that Zheng Xuyang had left, Huo Haoshen had no choice but to take his car keys and drive off to find his girlfriend.
Seeing that everyone had left, He Yuwei felt there was no need to stay, so he got into the car with Huo Haoshen and went to the Lu family to find Lu Shuyu to go out and have some fun.
Seeing that the people had finally left, Huo Haocheng, noticing that no one was around, took the hand of the woman beside him and asked, "Honey, shall we go see a movie?"
"You sent them all away so you could go see a movie?"
Actually, Ruan Ruan really wanted them to go out and have fun together, even climbing the Great Wall together would be nice, but this guy wanted to go alone with her, and she didn't want to refuse him. Now that everyone else had left, he said he wanted to go see a movie.
Putting aside whether anyone would go see it in such cold weather, even if they did, who would go out in the freezing cold for two hours just to watch a movie that can be watched anytime?
"Then tell me, honey, what do you want to do? I'll go with you." He could tell she didn't want to go to the movies, but right now he just wanted to be alone with her and didn't want to be separated from her at all.
"Hey, when we got married, didn't Grandpa and Grandma give us a courtyard house? It's nearby. Mom told me before that she would come over to help clean it when she had free time. It should be about the same now. Why don't we go take a look?"
When they got married, her grandparents and maternal grandparents each gave her a courtyard house. This one nearby was a gift from her grandparents. It's a two-courtyard house. When she came over before, she didn't think about staying there, so she didn't bother to look at it. Later, when she corresponded with her family, Ms. Gu said that if they weren't staying there for the time being, she would help her rent it out. After thinking about it, she realized that according to the current market price in Beijing, the rent would only be about 10 yuan per month, or 120 yuan per year.
But it's easy to rent it out now, but it will be difficult to take it back later. The yard might be a mess by then. After thinking about it, I decided to let it go, but I still asked Ms. Gu to take a look when she has time and ask her to find someone to help fix it if it needs to be repaired.
"Okay, then you guys go take a look first." For him, he would do anything as long as he could be with her.
The two of them walked slowly for 20 minutes and arrived at the courtyard at the entrance of the alley.
Looking at the locked gate, Ruan Ruan walked to the right side of the yard, squatted down next to a stone, and was about to pry the stone open when Huo Haocheng had already pried it open on his own, and there was nothing inside.
"In the ground, tap it with this," he said, handing him a wooden stick that had been prepared nearby.
Taking the wooden strip, Huo Haocheng gently dug around in the soil a few times and found a piece of oil paper. Unfolding it, he saw the key revealed.
He took out the key, and after putting the place back in its original position, he went to open the door.
After entering the courtyard, the two looked around.
"When we have the chance, we'll come and live here. This side is for Grandpa and Grandma, this side is for Mom and Dad (Huo Songbai and his wife), this side is for Mom and Dad (Huo Songhuai and his wife), and this side is for Uncle and Aunt. We'll just stay here, and the other rooms can be for the others. There's a small garden right outside the window, so we can plant flowers in it. If Grandma and Mom want to grow vegetables, they can too. It'll be so nice to see all green and thriving."
