Xu Jianwen explained in his heart, "Yes, Xiaoxiao is that kind of person."
After he finished speaking, he was stunned himself. He used to dislike Ye Xiaoxiao very much. She had a bad temper and liked to pester people.
If it were in the past, he would definitely agree with Hao Yanyan.
But when did his thinking begin to change?
It seems that Xiaoxiao is indeed the same as before.
It should be said that it has been the same for a long time, but he only dared to face this problem now.
Xu Jianwen was stunned after he finished speaking, so he did not see the resentment in Hao Yanyan's eyes.
What is so good about Ye Xiaoxiao, and why does she get everyone's preference.
"I was joking, but she didn't invite me."
Xu Jianli added: "The Ye family has also come to the capital, do you want to meet them?"
Hao Yanyan's face changed. "You should do it. To be honest, since we parted on bad terms last time, I don't dare to appear in front of them again."
What Hao Yanyan was thinking was that if poor relatives like the Ye family could show up at the banquet, how would Ye Xiaoxiao's wedding go?
If I go back to the compound tomorrow, I might still hear some jokes.
Xu Jianli was somewhat disappointed.
Hao Yanyan was willing to meet the Ye family, so she must know some inside information.
He used to think that Hao Yanyan was bullied in the Ye family, but now he began to doubt it.
Are the people from the Ye family really bad people?
"Okay, let's not talk about other people's affairs. I'm happy for Xiaoxiao's marriage. I hope we can each live our own lives well."
Hao Yanyan forced the topic to an end.
Xu Jianwen also temporarily suppressed all his doubts in his heart.
Maybe he should go meet the Ye family.
…
Ye Xiaoxiao and Lu Hanchuan didn't get up until early in the morning of the second day.
The two of them had brunch, Lu Hanchuan was responsible for cooking noodles and Ye Xiaoxiao was responsible for frying eggs.
Xiaoxiao brought four perfectly shaped fried eggs to the table and said, "How about it? My fried egg skills are pretty good, right?"
Lu Hanchuan praised: "Very good, I will call you the master of omelette."
Ye Xiaoxiao sat down happily.
Today we had clear soup noodles, and Lu Hanchuan prepared fried bean paste noodles.
It is served with cucumber shreds and meat sauce, and has a savory and salty flavor.
"Then I'll make you a noodle cooking master."
Lu Hanchuan handed the chopsticks to Xiaoxiao and said jokingly, "Thank you, Long En."
Ye Xiaoxiao took the chopsticks, picked up the noodles, and took a bite, her appetite whetted.
Lu Hanchuan: "You can cook at home occasionally, but after you go to work, you should hire an aunt to come over. The yard is big, and it's tiring for you to clean up by yourself. An aunt can help you clean up."
What Lu Hanchuan was more worried about was whether Ye Xiaoxiao would eat well.
Although she is a doctor, she is the only one who doesn't pay attention to health care when she works.
Ye Xiaoxiao: "I can eat in the cafeteria when I'm at work, but I'd better consider cleaning."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the rose tree and jujube tree in the yard. It was time for the leaves to fall, and they would still be dirty even if they were swept away.
How can she find the time to take care of it?
I really need someone to help me.
Lu Hanchuan said: "Look for someone slowly first. Look for someone with good character and someone you can get along with."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
The two of them took care of their breakfast by themselves, and after the meal, Lu Hanchuan finally had time to take a good look at the small courtyard.
Having said that, the area of this yard is not small at all. Not to mention two people, it can accommodate more than ten people.
The row of rooms on the east side are all guest rooms.
To the west are the kitchen, tea room, utility room and living room.
The east and west rooms and the main room are connected by a Chinese-style corridor, so people can enter freely even in rain or snow.
The first floor of the main house is a small living room and two study rooms, and upstairs are a bedroom, a dressing room and two secondary bedrooms.
When the house was rebuilt, the sewers were renovated, and each bedroom in the courtyard has a bathroom. Unlike some old houses here, if you want to use the bathroom, you can only go to the public bathroom at the alley entrance.
The roof of the east wing is a terrace, from which you can see the whole picture of Chunfeng Alley, or you can sit here to chat and watch the stars.
The yard is divided into the front yard and the back yard. There is a sunroom in the back yard, and there are flowers and a relatively sturdy jujube tree in the front yard.
It's a little different from the previous drawings, but the transformation is very good.
The front yard is spacious and there is no wasted space.
“We have the talent to be designers.”
Ye Xiaoxiao: "I think so too. I was so successful in my first house design."
In fact, the yard was built thanks to Han Xing's help.
Many times, Ye Xiaoxiao would just propose an idea, and then professionals would perfect it.
Lu Hanchuan: "Anyway, we have a lot of houses in Xiaoxiao, so we can use whichever one we want next."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Why do we build so many houses? I think this small courtyard can be lived in until we get old. I don't plan to rebuild the remaining houses."
Lu Hanchuan: “Then just leave it there?”
Ye Xiaoxiao: "In another ten years, I might clean up those yards. At least they can be abandoned."
The reason for saying this is that many courtyard houses were later protected as buildings, so even if the owner wanted to rebuild them, they could dismantle them at will.
Lu Hanchuan had no objection and respected all his wife's decisions.
In the afternoon, the two of them didn't cook at home. Ye Xiaoxiao took Lu Hanchuan to Song Guangjing's place to eat and drink.
Song Guangjing is coming here in a hurry.
What's more, he still has serious business to discuss today.
"Xiaoxiao, I mentioned the apprenticeship banquet before. Now that your parents and relatives are here, why don't we hold the apprenticeship banquet on these two days?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Okay, Master, I'm ready anytime."
Song Guangjing nodded, "Then let's go to the Queen's House."
The day after tomorrow is Xiaoxiao's return home, and the time for holding the teacher-apprentice banquet is just right.
After Song Guangjing and Xiaoxiao finished talking, they looked at Lu Hanchuan and said, "If you have time, come over."
After all, he is Xiaoxiao's husband, so his attitude can't be as casual as before.
Lu Hanchuan: “Yes, Master.”
Even if Song Guangjing said this, Lu Hanchuan would still go.
This is a very important matter to Xiaoxiao, and he will definitely participate as long as he has time.
Ye Xiaoxiao and Lu Hanchuan had the meal with peace of mind.
After dinner, the two walked home.
Ye Xiaoxiao: "I see that Master takes the Apprenticeship Banquet very seriously. I should learn the etiquette in advance."
Lu Hanchuan: "Mr. Song is from the capital. Let me ask someone what I need to prepare. I must give my master a gift as a disciple."
Ye Xiaoxiao had given Song Guangjing gifts before, but they were all small and inexpensive items.
Since it is a gift for apprenticeship, it must be something that the apprentice likes.
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Where can I find antiques nowadays?"
Lu Hanchuan: “… a place.”
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Then let's go there tomorrow and pick a gift for Master."
Lu Hanchuan nodded. It was indeed too late to go there today.
…
Hao Yanyan went back to the compound today. She wanted to hear some gossip about the Ye family, preferably negative gossip.
But she met several aunts along the way, and their eyes were a little strange.
And this strangeness is directed at oneself.
