Lin Qing nodded in agreement, "Dad is right. I also think that since there are many children, a larger yard will make it less crowded for them to live in."
…………
"Qingqing, are the houses you bought for your older brothers far from here?"
After everyone rested for a while, Dong Xiulan couldn't wait to ask Lin Qing.
"It's not far, it's just behind us, we can walk there in about ten minutes. This is perfect, let's walk there! We can come over here to eat after we're done watching."
Lin Qing knew that Dong Xiulan was eager to see the house, so she smiled and said, then called out to the children in the yard, "Children, we're going out now. Are you coming with us or staying here to play?"
"We're going to..."
"Mom, I want to go..."
"Auntie, I want to go too..."
The children shouted in unison upon hearing this.
Seeing the children's excited expressions, Lin Qing smiled and nodded, "You can go together, but we'll be walking, so you're not allowed to complain about being tired!"
"Don't worry, Mom, we won't feel tired."
"Auntie, we're not tired!"
…………
"Okay, let's go then!" Lin Qing said happily to the children upon seeing this, and then instructed Gu Bei, "Gu Bei, we're going to check out the house. We'll be back for dinner in a bit, so please prepare the food for us."
"Yes, madam!"
Gu Bei looked at Lin Qing respectfully and nodded slightly.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun, along with Dong Xiulan, Lin Aiguo, Lin Yunfeng, Zhao Xi, and a group of children, walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the house of their eldest and second eldest brothers.
Along the way, Dong Xiulan kept praising the surrounding environment, Lin Aiguo also occasionally expressed his opinions, Lin Yunfeng looked around curiously, and Zhao Xi followed closely by Lin Yunfeng's side.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at another courtyard house. Although this courtyard house was not as large as Lin Qing's, it was still very exquisite, and the two large locust trees in front of the door added a touch of antiquity to the courtyard.
Lin Qing took out her key, opened the gate, and led everyone into the courtyard. Although there were no pavilions, towers, flowers, trees, or gazebos in the courtyard, it was very clean and tidy. The front and middle courtyards were also very spacious, and the back courtyard was even more spacious, just as Lin Qing had said. Not only could it be used to grow flowers and vegetables, but it could also be used to dig a small pond. With some tidying up, it would be a very nice place.
As soon as Dong Xiulan and Lin Aiguo entered the courtyard, they looked around. They were very satisfied with every corner of the courtyard, and their smiles were even more pronounced when they saw the spacious rooms.
"Qingqing, this house is wonderful! Your older brothers will definitely love it," Dong Xiulan said excitedly.
Lin Aiguo nodded in agreement: "Yes, this house is not only in a good location, but also has a reasonable layout, which is really rare."
“Sister, your house is so much better than mine, and the environment here is better too. The roads are also wider over there. It’s too crowded over there.”
Lin Yunfeng said sourly.
He initially thought the house he bought was pretty good, but now, after comparing it to others, he suddenly felt that his own house wasn't so appealing anymore.
"Third Brother, these kinds of houses are rare finds, and it's all good luck. I doubt you'll find such a bargain again. But the houses here are pretty good. I'll have Gu Bei keep an eye out for them, so you can buy one here someday."
Lin Qing smiled and comforted her.
"It's settled then, so don't forget."
Lin Yunfeng said seriously.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't forget. My eldest and second eldest brothers are still missing a set, aren't they?"
Lin Qing said with a smile.
"By the way, Qingqing, who is Gu Bei?"
Upon hearing Lin Qing mention Gu Bei again, Dong Xiulan asked curiously,
"Gu Bei is like a housekeeper! We don't stay here often, so this place still needs someone to look after it."
Lin Qing replied.
Upon hearing this, Dong Xiulan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She carefully examined the house for a while, then gently stroked the furniture inside, unable to hide the smile on her face.
"Mom and Dad, why don't you stay with me for a while? The environment here is worse than over there, it's more spacious, and it's cooler too. Why don't we stay here for the summer vacation and go back when school starts?"
Suddenly I remembered that I had originally planned to invite my parents to spend the summer vacation here, so I suggested it with a smile.
"If we move here, what will happen to Yunfeng's house?"
Dong Xiulan hesitated for a moment, then asked Lin Qing.
"The house over there hasn't been cleaned up yet, so why not wait until school starts there before going back to clean it up? Once it's cleaned up, we can move in right away."
"Okay? Then we'll stay at your place for a while, and we can also help your second brother and eldest brother tidy up their house."
Dong Xiulan thought for a while, then smiled and agreed, saying that she also liked this place very much, liked the air here, and liked the environment here.
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Seeing that Dong Xiulan had agreed, Lin Qing said happily.
"Mom, you've abandoned me so quickly!"
Lin Yunfeng looked at Dong Xiulan with a mournful expression and said.
"Smack..."
Upon hearing this, Dong Xiulan slapped Lin Yunfeng's arm, "You child, what nonsense are you talking about? When did your mother abandon you? You can go back to that house anytime you want, right? If you're not feeling well, I'll go back with you tomorrow!"
"Okay, Mom? I was just kidding! But you did promise to come with me to see the new house tomorrow."
Lin Yunfeng, holding Dong Xiulan's arm with a grin, said that although his house was not as good as the one in front of him, it was the first house he had ever bought in his life, and he cherished it very much.
"Okay, Mom will ride the bike with you back tomorrow!"
Dong Xiulan said cheerfully.
…………
After chatting for a while, Lin Qing led Lin Yunfeng, Zhao Xi, Dong Xiulan, Lin Aiguo, and the children away from her eldest and second brothers' house and returned to her own courtyard house.
The children then ran off to play by the pond in the backyard.
"Mom, are we really going to live here?" Gu Ziyao asked, holding Lin Qing's hand.
Lin Qing patted her head and said with a smile, "Of course, this will be our home from now on. We can come back to stay every winter and summer vacation, and we can also come back on Saturdays and Sundays."
"Wow, this is wonderful! Our home is so beautiful!"
After hearing Lin Qing's words, Gu Ziyao immediately cheered, her eyes filled with excitement.
At this moment, Gu Bei walked over and said to Lin Qing, "Madam, I have prepared lunch. We can begin our meal now."
Lin Qing nodded, then said to everyone, "Mom and Dad, Third Brother, Xixi, let's eat first, the children are hungry."
