Zhou Jiyun suppressed the bitterness in his heart: "So I really used up all my luck to meet you."
Xie Jing couldn't help but smile: "I'm also very lucky to have met you. So, Mr. Zhou, are you not sad now?"
"I'm not sad, I'm just moved." Zhou Jiyun was also very frank, saying whatever he wanted to say. The main point was to be honest. The two chatted all the way and followed Yun Lan's car to Cheng's grandfather's house.
Cheng Jin and Cheng Yu were always paying attention to the dynamics of the group. After estimating the time, the two brothers went to wait outside the alley. When they saw Yun Lan and Zhou Jiyun's car, the two brothers pulled up Zhou Jiyun's car without any hesitation and got in.
Cheng Jin: "Jingjing, Jiyun, Happy New Year."
Cheng Yu: "Sister and brother-in-law, Happy New Year."
Xie Jing turned around and smiled at the two of them: "Happy New Year, Brother Jin, Brother Yu."
Cheng Yu is more outgoing: "Your grandma prepared breakfast early and even ordered crab meat dumplings because she knew you liked it."
Xie Jing's eyes curved: "Then I will definitely eat well later. I haven't seen grandma for a long time. Aren't you and Brother Jin going out to pay New Year's greetings today?"
Cheng Jin: "This year is a special situation. This is your first time at home, so we must take good care of you. We can find time to go to your grandparents' house. It won't delay things and there won't be so many details."
Xie Jing was a little uneasy: "Is it not good? Aunts..."
"You can go back anytime you want. There's no need to stick to the second day of the Lunar New Year." Cheng Yu said casually, "Besides, grandpa and grandma are very reasonable. And your grandpa and grandma have personally contacted mine, so everyone will understand."
Xie Jing then smiled: "I'm sorry to have caused everyone to worry."
"What's wrong with that?" Cheng Yu leaned forward and said, "Sister, you're just too thoughtful. But it's good this way. Being thoughtful means you're thorough, just like my aunt."
Xie Jing is also exploring the similarities between her and Cheng Shuying: "I know my mother has taken care of everything."
Apart from their appearance, her temperament and character were almost identical to Cheng Shuying's. Xie Jing sometimes found it incredible that they had never accompanied each other in life and had never influenced each other, yet they were so similar.
The car pulled into the parking space and stopped. Xie Jing opened her eyes wide. "Siheyuan? Grandpa and grandma live in a Siheyuan?"
"Well, this is the Cheng family's ancestral home. It was returned to them later. Grandma and Grandpa renovated it... We can't drive into the alley, so let's walk in." Cheng Jin helped Zhou Jiyun carry the New Year gift package: "I heard from Yunxu that the Zhou family's old house is very exquisite."
"That's different," Xie Jing said seriously. "The old house is in the Jiangnan garden style, but I've never seen a quadrangle courtyard before. I must take a good look at it today."
Zhou Jiyun was also curious: "I've never seen one either. If you like courtyard houses, why don't we buy one too?"
Xie Jing shook her head. "Bishui Jiayuan is great. A big house can make people feel empty. I'm just curious. I've only seen it on TV and in books, but now that I'm seeing it in person, I can't quite imagine it."
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll live in Bishui Jiayuan."
Cheng Jin and Cheng Yu winked. Was this Mr. Zhou's aura? A small courtyard house, ready to buy without blinking? As expected, poverty limited their imagination.
Yun Lan and Cheng Shuying also came over with New Year's greetings. "What are you talking about? You two look surprised."
Cheng Yu came back to his senses: "I just think my brother-in-law is really... wealthy. He just told my sister about buying a courtyard house."
Yun Lan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Jingjing likes the Siheyuan?"
Xie Jing waved her hands quickly: "I'm just curious, I've never seen one. I didn't want a courtyard house, it was Jiyun who wanted to give me everything. Our current place is pretty good, and there are old houses in S City. There are so many places, where can we live?"
She and Zhou Jiyun had lived in quite a few places, not to mention City S. The house in Bishui Jiayuan was the closest to the compound, and Zhou Jiyun naturally had properties elsewhere, and City S had even more places to live.
After she recognized Yunlan and Cheng Shuying, they gave her an apartment. With this calculation, even if she and Zhou Jiyun changed sleeping places every day in the capital, they could still sleep in the same place for half a month without repeating.
Cheng Shuying couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not that easy to buy a courtyard house now. There's not much room for real estate appreciation now."
How could Xie Jing not understand? Who doesn't know that the real estate market is a dead end now? "I understand. I'm just sighing."
She held Zhou Jiyun's arm and glared at him obscurely. Zhou Jiyun touched his nose and thought he would have to be more careful when speaking in front of his brother-in-law and others.
Who would understand? Ever since Xie Jing found his family, he suddenly had four more uncles. They were evenly distributed, two from his grandparents' side and two from his grandmother's. Luckily, all of his uncles had good temperaments.
Of course, a major reason is that Xie Jing did not grow up in front of everyone. They are relatives who met each other halfway, so they have to be very careful in judging the scale. It will not be okay if it is too light or too heavy.
Their cars were parked outside the alley and were now heading inside. As everyone knows, alleys are where news travels fastest.
Cheng Shuying's daughter had been found, and the news had long been known to the neighbors. Therefore, when Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun went to Cheng's grandfather's house, they greeted each other along the way.
Xie Jing felt like her face was about to freeze from laughing. "Mom, is this alley so lively? How many people are there?"
Cheng Shuying was in high spirits, "There are indeed quite a few people in the alley, and everyone is curious about you. It will be fine after this period. When you get home, there will be more people coming to our house."
Xie Jing: "So...so I'm like a black bear in a zoo, just for everyone to watch?"
Cheng Yu interjected, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are such a perfect match. How can you say a black bear is so despicable? At least it's a panda."
Xie Jing rolled her eyes: "Thank you, but I'm not comforted at all."
The fact was just as Cheng Shuying said, after having breakfast at Cheng's grandfather's house, many neighbors came over. As soon as they came, they stared at her and Zhou Jiyun, and then started chatting about all sorts of things.
Xie Jing... what could Xie Jing do? She could only sit aside obediently. Fortunately, no one pulled them in to chat. If they were curious, they would ask Yun Lan and Cheng Shuying. Everyone still had some sense of propriety.
Zhou Jiyun rubbed Xie Jing's hair helplessly. He hadn't expected this to happen when he came to Cheng's grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings. Just like Cheng Yu said, the two of them were like giant pandas in the zoo, both of them were very curious.
Cheng Yu pushed a plate of nuts over and said, "I heard you like nuts, so grandma specifically asked me and Brother Jin to buy some the day before yesterday."
Xie Jing curled her eyes at Grandma Cheng: "Thank you, Grandma."
