Chapter 269 Attic

"I don't know. Dad said it was a surprise. We won't know until we get there."

Su Yu nodded thoughtfully, "Well, maybe it's fun there?"

[Since it’s a surprise, I won’t go and cause trouble! ]

“Fire!”

Zhu Xueheng called out to Liang Yan, who responded, "Coming right up!"

"Goodbye, Sister Xiaoyu! Goodbye, Cancan!"

"Goodbye~"

"Bye~"

Tang Can watched Liang Yan leave, head down, "It's so annoying, we have guests coming to our house right now, and they are super, super loud!"

Tang Can had closed the curtains and windows, but could still hear the noise outside.

"Cancan, you can put on your headphones and listen to music or watch cartoons!"

Tang Can put his hands on the table and shook his head, "I don't really want to watch it!"

"Then let's look at the gifts together?"

Su Yu held the gift list in her hand.

Tang Can nodded happily, "Okay!"

Su Yu and Tang Can spent the whole morning choosing gifts. They didn't hang up the video until Tang Can's family called her to eat.

Su Yu took a sip of juice and said, "Uncle housekeeper, it's almost twelve o'clock!"

[It’s been twelve hours since last night, you’re still not awake? ]

"Is Miss Xiaoyu hungry?"

"Uh-huh!"

【It’s time for lunch! 】

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you!"

The housekeeper went to the kitchen to make arrangements, and Su Yu strolled around alone. She went upstairs alone, and she went downstairs alone. However, there were one or two cute little red sachets at the door of everyone's room, which contained a small "Fu" (blessing) sachet and a small red envelope that she had made long ago!

After lunch, Su Yu walked around the greenhouse at home under the care of the housekeeper, picked a few flowers and returned to the villa, then went upstairs to take a nap.

After waking up from a nap, Su Yu went downstairs wearing her cute bear pajamas.

"Mom, are you awake?"

Su Yu ran over and skillfully pushed himself into Ji Yan's arms.

"Um!"

"Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten!"

"Shall we go out and play? Huo Huo is going out to play!"

Ji Yan looked at Su Yi, and Su Yi thought for a moment, "Do you want to go to a lantern show, a light festival, an ice rink, or a zoo?"

He remembered that four years ago, these places were very lively and had VIP viewing and playing areas. Selfishly, Su Yi wanted to take Ji Yan to the temple fair. But he had a hunch that as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Yu, the mother's girl, would definitely stick with him. If they went to the temple fair, her safety would be a big problem.

Su Yi remembered that Jingming's family had a small plum blossom veranda. During the day, everyone enjoyed the flowers and drank wine by the balcony, and at night they watched the lanterns and ate barbecue.

"Or do you want to see plum blossoms?"

Su Yu looked up at Ji Yan's chin, "Mom, do you want to go?"

Ji Yan gently turned Su Yu's head back and said, "Be good, this is dangerous. Mom wants to go."

Su Yu turned her head and rubbed against Ji Yan's arms, "Then I want to go too! I also want to go with my uncle, great-grandmother, grandpa and grandma!"

Su Yi gestured "OK" and said, "I'll call and see if there are any vacancies!"

"Jingming left us an attic, so we can go there anytime."

Su Yi saw Su Yu's pajamas and said, "Go change your clothes!"

"Okay!"

Su Yu happily ran upstairs to change into clothes for going out. Ji Yan went over to help, and Su Yi notified the rest of the family.

Su Yu, Ji Yan, Su Yi and Su Xi were in one car, and Yang Zhichun, Xu Mingyue and Ji Tianlin were in another car.

Su Yu, wearing a cute plush cape, was chilled by the north wind as soon as she got off the car. Her voice was a little muffled under the thick mask, "It's so cold!"

Su Yi hugged Su Yu tightly in his arms, looking helpless, "I said to go in from the underground garage, and you said you wanted to see the scenery."

Su Yike regretted that he had turned on the speaker when he answered the phone. Jingming told him that it was snowing here, and the snow scenery with plum blossoms was unique. If they wanted to see it, they could get off at the door. If they felt cold, they could go directly from the underground garage to the attic, and there was heating throughout the journey.

“But it’s beautiful~”

The bit of skin that Su Yu was exposed felt the coolness in the air, and her big eyes were soon covered with a layer of mist.

Su Yu saw that Yang Zhichun and the others had already entered the corridor, and quickly stretched out her hands wearing plush gloves to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

The big hood blocked the snowflakes that wanted to touch her face. When she looked up, she saw the plum blossoms that were even more beautiful and dazzling under the snowflakes.

Red, pink, white, green, and yellow plum blossoms appeared in her vision one after another. Occasionally, a few branches of plum blossoms would "reach out" to block the way as they stepped onto the wooden porch.

“Was this transplanted on purpose?”

Su Yu looked at the red plum blossom blocking the road and touched it from a distance.

"No, this place used to be a private residence of an imperial merchant. The Jing family bought this place and prepared to live here. It is said that this was a courtyard of a concubine, and she cultivated it specially. The Jing family did not move in in the end. Jing Ming turned this place into a small gathering place for the circle, and at the same time retained the characteristics of these plum blossoms."

"Living here? Won't it be cold?"

[The house here looks ancient and unique, but it also looks cold! ]

"No! You'll know when you go in and take a look!"

Su Yi and Su Yu had not walked far when Su Yu saw a small building from a distance.

"It was originally a pavilion, but it was later remodeled. The first floor is very cold, the second floor is very warm, and the third floor is very cold. If you want to go downstairs to play in the snow or go upstairs to look out, you must wear clothes!"

Su Yu was not concerned about whether it was cold or not. She was curious, "Is there any water nearby?"

"no."

Jingming very considerately chose a loft that was not surrounded by water and could be directly reached from the underground garage.

After entering the attic, Su Yu took off her heavy cape and coat with Ji Yan's help, leaving only a bright red skirt. She leaned on the glass window on the second floor to look at the plum blossoms outside, "Dad, there is a big road in the plum blossom forest!"

"Yes, that road is the driveway here. If you want to visit other lofts or rooms, you can call a taxi to take you there."

Here you can enjoy plum blossoms in winter, visit peach orchards in spring, pick flowers in summer, and gather osmanthus in autumn.

"Dad, you are so familiar with this place!"

"Of course not. I asked my eldest brother to invest in the garden. He was too busy to take care of it, so I often came to take a look."

Su Xi's mouth twitched slightly. Su Yi signed a contract with Jing Ming, but could not afford the final payment. Su Yi did not want to be looked down upon, so he persuaded Su Xi to invest. Su Xi invested all his savings for a year here, but the income here did not meet expectations. In recent years, the revenue here has only started to rise.

When Jingming came in, he heard Su Yi talking about what happened in the past.

"Back then, you stopped us from getting to the design stage and ended up changing my original idea."

This is the gift that the Jing family gave to Jing Ming when he was 18 years old. At that time, he only had this piece of real estate besides some shares of the Jing family's company.

Jingming wants to travel around the world and be a carefree young master, but the Jing family's shares alone are not enough.

So he wanted to transform this place into a private club, restaurant or other business place.

His original idea was to change each courtyard into the style of a country, collect characteristic items from those countries, arrange them in the courtyard, and let the guests choose the theme style they like.

When they actually started designing, he was thinking about the design while Su Yi was thinking about how much the infrastructure would cost. The two of them struggled for a long time and finally ended up with what they have now.

“I think it has developed well in recent years!”

The shares of this place belong to my eldest brother, but he has looked at the financial statements and the revenue is constantly increasing.

“Indeed.”

At that time, due to Su Yi's chaos, this place only improved the infrastructure construction, and retained the pure ancient style of the house architecture, which did not conform to the social aesthetic pursuit of the time. Only some old people would come here to drink tea and fish, and the income was average.

But in recent years, the ancient style has become popular. People are more pursuing authentic ancient style buildings, which has become very popular in the circle, and the revenue is also rising.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Jing!"

"Happy New Year, Xiaoyu!"

Jingming took out a red envelope from his windbreaker pocket and handed it to Su Yu.

Su Yu took it and thanked him sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle Jing!"

“So good!”

Jingming squatted down and touched Su Yu's head. "If you are not used to barbecue, you can order dishes. The Chinese food here is very good. It is made by the descendants of Chef Yu!"

"Okay, thank you Uncle Jing!"

Jingming greeted the people who went into the inner room to cook wine, received two red envelopes, and walked to Su Yi, who was still accompanying Su Yu by the glass window, with a look of surprise on his face, and shook the big red envelope in his hand, "It turns out that not getting married has this advantage!"

Jingming just came to visit his brother, give Su Yu a red envelope, and say hello to his brother's family. He followed all the formalities, but he didn't expect to receive red envelopes, two of them!

"You get married and have children. The more children you have, the more you get."

Jingming rolled his eyes, "That's not my red envelope."

It's for the children, how can he shamelessly snatch it? And the more children you have, the more you have to spend! It's better to be a single noble, earn your own money and spend it yourself, and every place can be home!

"Xiaoyu, keep the red envelope safe, don't let your dad take it away!"

"Okay! Thank you, uncle! I'll give the red envelope to uncle!"

Su Yu was also tired of looking at the plum blossoms outside, so she ran into the inner room to look for her uncle.

"Okay, your daughter knows how to suppress blood vessels!"

Jing Ming's blue eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Su Yi with a stern face.

"Oh, I'll wait for the day when you have a daughter!"

Su Yi turned and left. Jing Ming happily took a picture of Su Yi's back and returned to the attic where he was staying. He took a picture of the red envelope and posted both pictures on his Moments.

…

In the attic, Su Yu was eating the Chinese food ordered by Ji Yan, and the adults were drinking and eating barbecue.

The clouds were soon covered with a layer of black cloth, but the originally beautiful plum blossoms were not swallowed by the darkness. They showed a different style under the background of the warm yellow lanterns.

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yu held up a skewer and stood by the glass window looking at the lanterns below.

"Dad, why doesn't uncle add a fireworks show? I want to play with fireworks! I asked the housekeeper to prepare fairy wands, they are still at home!"

Speaking of sparklers, Su Yu decided that she would think more carefully next time she goes out and not leave anything behind!
