Everyone agreed, and they walked together towards the restaurant.
The table was laden with a sumptuous spread of dishes, all meticulously prepared by Gu Bei.
Everyone sat around the dining table, eating happily, while the children played and ate with gusto. Adults and children alike wore joyful smiles.
"Dad, Mom, Third Brother, Xixi, how about we go for a walk around the neighborhood? It'll be a good way to digest our food and get to know the area."
After lunch, Lin Qing suggested that everyone take a walk nearby and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"I want to go too..."
"I want to go too..."
…………
The children jumped up excitedly when they heard they were going to play.
So the whole family walked towards Houhai in a grand procession, laughing and chatting all the way, enjoying themselves immensely.
As the sun sets, golden sunlight spills across the water, creating shimmering ripples. Children play by the water's edge, while adults sit on benches along the shore, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and happiness.
This day was filled with laughter and warmth for the Lin family, and it marked the beginning of their new life.
…………
The next day, Gu Nanxun drove Dong Xiulan, Lin Yunfeng, Lin Aiguo, and Zhao Xi back to the courtyard house near Peking University.
They went by car yesterday, and their bicycles are still there. Gu Nanxun and the others also need to pack some luggage and move it to Houhai.
Meanwhile, Lin Qing was at home with the children. She lay lazily on a deck chair in the pavilion, watching the children play in the backyard. While watching the children, she would occasionally browse the house listings, hoping to find a good property. She had her eye on the shops on both sides of the river. If she could buy a few there, she would definitely make a fortune.
Lin Qing gently swiped her finger left and right on the map, browsing the property information on the screen.
Her eyes were focused and bright, and she nodded or frowned slightly from time to time.
She knew that as the city developed, the shops on both sides of the river would become prime locations, with huge potential for opening restaurants, cafes, or small shops.
Moreover, in later generations, this place became a tourist destination for people from other places, and even locals would come here from time to time to take a walk.
The children's laughter echoed in the yard, interrupting Lin Qing's thoughts. Occasionally, Lin Qing would look up and see their carefree faces, a warm feeling welling up inside her. She hoped that her efforts could bring more happiness and stability to this family.
"Mom, look, I caught a fish!" Gu Yichen excitedly held up a small fishing rod with a tiny goldfish on it.
"Awesome! Our Yichen is amazing!"
Lin Qing smiled and praised him, then waved her hand, closed the house sale information, and then went over to help Gu Yichen take the fish off the fishing rod and put it into the fish tank next to him. "We'll put it here and give Dad a surprise when he comes back."
"Okay, Mom!" Gu Yichen nodded happily and ran back to the pond to continue his fishing.
Lin Qing returned to the pavilion and continued her property search. She knew that a good investment opportunity was fleeting, and she had to stay alert and seize every possible chance.
After looking for a while without any new updates, Lin Qing lost interest and turned her attention back to the child.
As she looked around, Lin Qing suddenly realized that someone was missing. She sat up straight and counted carefully, and found that Gu Shulan was indeed missing.
"Shulan..."
Lin Qing shouted loudly.
"Shulan..."
"Mom, Third Brother is over there!"
Hearing Lin Qing's shout, Gu Ziyao ran to Lin Qing's side and pointed to the corridor not far away.
Suddenly, Gu Shulan was seen sitting on the veranda, reading a book.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but shake her head.
"Okay, Mom knows, Ziyao, go back to playing!"
Lin Qing reached out and patted Gu Ziyao's head, saying with a smile.
"Mommy, there are butterflies over there, can I catch them?"
Gu Ziyao pointed to the flower bed not far away and said.
"Of course you can! You wait here, Mom will go get you a small net!"
Lin Qingji said that Taobao sells those kinds of nets for catching butterflies.
"That's great, Mom is the best, I love Mom the most, Mom, can I have two? I'll give one to Shishi."
When Gu Ziyao heard that Lin Qing was going to get her a net, she immediately cheered with joy, and at the same time, she didn't forget to ask Lin Shishi for one as well.
"Of course! You wait here, I'll go get it for you!"
Lin Qing smiled and patted Gu Ziyao's head before walking towards the storage room.
As she walked, she secretly thought that perhaps she could build a simple playground for the children, such as slides, swings, seesaws, and the like.
Lin Qing quickly went to the storage room, then ordered two capture nets from Taobao, and then took the capture nets to the yard.
When Lin Qing handed the two capture nets to Gu Ziyao and Lin Shishi, it elicited cheers of admiration from the two little girls.
…………
Meanwhile, Gu Nanxun, carrying Dong Xiulan, Lin Aiguo, Lin Yunfeng, and Zhao Xi, had safely arrived at the courtyard house near Peking University and began packing their luggage.
Dong Xiulan and Lin Aiguo were very happy to be able to move to a courtyard house in Houhai, and they also moved the clothes they needed into the car.
After packing their luggage, Gu Nanxun prepared to return to Houhai, while Dong Xiulan, Lin Aiguo, Lin Yunfeng, and Zhao Xi went to Lin Yunfeng's house together.
After viewing the house, they prepared to ride their bicycles back.
…………
"Mommy, Mommy, look! I caught a butterfly!"
Gu Ziyao ran over excitedly, carefully holding a colorful butterfly in her hands.
"Ziyao is really amazing."
Lin Qing smiled gently and reached out to pat Gu Ziyao's head encouragingly. She then found a box for Gu Ziyao, poked a few holes in it, and placed the butterfly inside.
"Shall we let the butterfly rest here for a while, and release it when it has regained its strength?"
"good!"
Gu Ziyao hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded reluctantly.
"Auntie, Auntie... I caught one too!"
Just then, Lin Shishi ran over happily, holding a black butterfly carefully in her hand, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Shishi is amazing!"
Lin Qing patted Lin Shishi's head and praised her, and also found a box for Lin Shishi to put the butterfly in.
