However, Shen Shaohua was really satisfied. He remembered that when he first came to Nan Nan's courtyard house, he was extremely envious.
If my father hadn't donated all his salary over the years, we would still have been able to buy a traditional courtyard house.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Although we don't have the money to buy a courtyard house now, those who were saved by my father survived. They are now extremely grateful to him, which is actually a kind of good deed.
"Shaohua, we'll use the main house as our wedding room, the side room as our study, and the west wing as your father's room."
"Don't touch the back room yet. We can put it there for our children when we have them. We should have more children. We can use the rear room as a guest room. What do you think?"
Shen Shaohua rolled his eyes at Bei Nan. Having more children? She's not a sow. Besides, she has to know how to raise the children.
"How about we design it like Nan Nan's courtyard?" Bei Nan asked again.
Shen Shaohua nodded. Nan Nan's courtyard house was really well designed. Every room had a toilet. How convenient that would be!
There are also radiators; even the rear rooms have radiators. If all of them were turned on, the heating costs wouldn't even cover my monthly salary.
The appliances in the room—refrigerator, washing machine, sewing machine, television, bicycle, watch—exceeded the standard of "three turns and one sound."
Shen Shaohua began to calculate how much dowry he could raise from his family's wealth.
Bei Nan quickly interrupted her train of thought, telling her not to run away again while thinking about it, as that would be a loss.
He pulled Shen Shaohua into the north room, where a pile of things were covered by a blue work cloth. Bei Nan lifted the work cloth.
Shen Shaohua ran over and looked at the packaged item, still in its original packaging, feeling quite excited.
The bicycle was wrapped in plastic sheeting, the sewing machine was still in its box, the refrigerator box had clear labels, and there was a huge washing machine.
"Shaohua, these are my betrothal gifts for you. Here, this is a watch. Of the three essentials, we're still missing a radio cassette player, which I haven't been able to buy yet."
Shen Shaohua shook his head and said sadly, "Bei Nan, you've given me so much betrothal money, I don't even know where to start with the dowry."
Bei Nan asked curiously, "Shao Hua, your household registration is still in your original house, right? Just start from here and transfer your household registration over later."
Shen Shaohua suddenly realized how confused he had been. He could leave the things in Shen Shaomin's room; this cousin was actually quite nice.
No, Shen Shaohua suddenly realized that she was always being led astray by Bei Nan. When did she agree to marry him?
Bei Nan knew his strategy of feigning ignorance had failed, so he pretended to know nothing and pointed to the north-facing room:
"Shaohua, you need to come up with an idea as soon as possible. This house is big, so the renovation will take a long time. I want to get married to you this October."
Shen Shaohua's face turned red again. It's almost April now, and there are only six months left until the wedding. Time is really tight.
She shook her head. It wasn't that she was being pretentious; she genuinely didn't understand. Asking her was less helpful than asking Nan Nan.
Seeing that she really didn't understand, Bei Nan didn't force her and handed the courtyard house over to Yan Aidang, saying that everything could be solved.
"Let's go find Nan Nan and transfer the courtyard house to your name first." Bei Nan covered the work cloth back up.
Shen Shaohua was somewhat reluctant. They weren't even married yet, so how could he accept such a large gift?
"Don't you want to marry me?" Bei Nan asked.
Shen Shaohua shook his head. How could that be? He'd already agreed to date her. It would be like playing with someone's feelings if he didn't marry her.
"That settles it then. You marry me, you're mine, and the house is mine too. Let's go, let's not waste any more time." Bei Nan pulled her away.
Yan Xiaonan smiled when she saw the two people holding hands. She liked Shen Shaohua very much; he was a decisive and capable person.
"Shaohua, before you marry my third brother, you must train a few people for me, or I won't let go," Nan Nan threatened.
When it came to work, Shen Shaohua didn't mince words: "Nan Nan, I have three apprentices now, two men and one woman, and they're all doing quite well."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. As his business grew, talent became the most scarce resource, and he knew he had to make more preparations.
"Nan Nan, do you have time? I want to transfer the courtyard to Shao Hua." Bei Nan was a little embarrassed, realizing she was being too much of a troublemaker.
Yan Xiaonan rolled her eyes elegantly: "Shameless, you learn everything from my Chenming."
Yan Beinan lowered her head. She really learned this from Ye Chenming. Ye Chenming wished he could give everything he had to Nannan.
Since Bei Nan was driving, Yan Xiaonan decided not to drive. She went home first to get the property ownership certificate and household registration book before going to the housing management bureau.
The transfer of ownership was processed quickly. Half an hour later, a brand-new property ownership certificate was issued, and the three large characters on the title page brought tears to Shen Shaohua's eyes.
“Bei Nan, Nan Nan, no one has ever been this kind to me except my father.”
Yan Xiaonan really wanted to ask about your mother, but she gritted her teeth and resolutely refused to gossip, just in case it was something that saddened her.
Bei Nan didn't think too much about it and asked, "Shao Hua, where's your mother?"
“My mother died when I was very young. I can’t even remember what she looked like,” Shen Shaohua replied, his face showing little sadness.
So that's how it is. Shen Shaohua is really pitiful. You know, children without mothers suffer the most.
"So you were raised by your father, right?" Nan Nan said.
"No, I was raised by my maternal grandmother. Unfortunately, when I was ten years old, my grandmother also fell ill and died, so I went back to my father's side."
At this moment, Shen Shaohua's face was filled with desolation. When her father was alive, her aunt treated her very well, but as soon as her father left, her aunt and cousin would bully her.
Fortunately, her uncle and cousin are good friends. When her older cousin bullies her, her younger cousin will fight back against her.
My uncle almost divorced my aunt because of me, but my father took me out of the house, which prevented their divorce.
Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. I was lucky. First, I had that stubborn uncle who took care of me, and then I met Nan Nan.
Now there's even a North-South connection. Oh, and the dowry is placed at Uncle Yigen's house, and the dowry is distributed from him.
Shen Shaohua's eyes lit up. She really didn't dare to take the dowry back, otherwise her aunt and cousin would definitely be envious.
When Shen Shaohua told Yan Xiaonan and Bei Nan everything, Bei Nan's eyes turned red.
No matter how hard or tiring things were in the north and south, it was all his own doing. His family treated him incredibly well, at least he had no worries about food and clothing.
But Aunt Shen is two-faced and despicable. Fortunately, her cousin is alright, otherwise Yan Xiaonan would definitely have kicked him out of the furniture factory.
Since Shen Shaohua is willing to provide the dowry from Yizhijin, let's put the things there and make room for renovations.
Without further ado, Yan Xiaonan contacted Yigenjin and the driver, while Bei Nan prepared to get another tape recorder.
