From the moment she entered the Ye family courtyard, Lian Qiao didn't say a word; she simply looked at the Ye family courtyard quietly.
Nowadays, because the Ye family courtyard is rented out, it is filled with many miscellaneous items.
The jujube tree in the yard was adorned with bright red dates, creating a festive and lively atmosphere.
The arrival of Ye Fanxing and her group woke up the tenants in the courtyard.
Who are you?
Ye Fanxing looked at the tenant in front of her with a smile and explained gently, "I am the owner of this courtyard. I brought my family to see the place where I grew up."
The tenant was a divorced woman in her early twenties, dressed cleanly and simply.
When Huo Dongfang rented out the house, he discussed with Ye Fanxing that they wanted to rent it to someone who was really in need, even if the rent was lower.
"Hello, I'm Lantian. Thank you for renting the house to me."
As soon as Lan Tian finished speaking, the sound of a child crying came from inside the house.
She had no choice but to turn back and pick up the crying child, saying to Ye Fanxing, "I'm sorry, my child is feeling a little unwell."
Ye Fanxing looked at the half-grown child in Lantian's arms and stepped forward to take the child's pulse.
"She caught a cold. The doctor prescribed the right medicine. You can give her a pediatric massage, rub your hands together to warm them and then massage her back, or put a warm, not too hot, hot water bottle on her back under the covers..."
After Lantian came to Huacheng, she was quite lucky, and she was always surrounded by kind people who took care of her.
"thank you."
Ye Fanxing knew the general situation of Lantian.
Lan Tian married a fellow educated youth who had been sent to the countryside. Later, when the educated youth was able to return to the city, he told Lan Tian that he would come to pick up Lan Tian and his daughter once he had settled down in the city.
To everyone's surprise, Lan Tian waited and waited but never received any news. It wasn't until she brought her child to the door that she learned the educated youth had gotten married and had a child.
It turns out that when the educated youth and Lan Tian held their wedding banquet in the countryside, Lan Tian was not yet twenty years old and could not get a marriage certificate.
Strictly speaking, their marriage was only a de facto one.
Abandoned by the educated youth, Lan Tian was too ashamed to return to his hometown and had no choice but to stay in Huacheng.
She was a girl who grew up in the countryside. She was hardworking and willing to endure hardship, so she settled down in the Ye family's small courtyard.
"You're welcome."
Yin Zhongzheng and Lian Qiao were strolling around the courtyard.
Huo Dongfang was sitting at the stone table in the chair, peeling roasted chestnuts for Ye Fanxing.
"Oh, by the way, while I was cleaning, I found a photo hidden in the gap of the cabinet. I'll show it to you."
Ye Fanxing looked at Lan Tian with considerable surprise and asked, "Hidden in a crevice? Where did you find it?"
Lan Tian, carrying the child, led Ye Fanxing into the room.
The cabinet Lantian was referring to was a standing cabinet made of camphor wood.
"It was found right here."
A mirror was clipped to the door of the cabinet.
"The photo was behind the mirror. When I was cleaning and moving the cabinet, I accidentally broke the mirror, and the photo fell out of the cabinet."
Ye Fanxing asked, "Where are the photos?"
Because the photos were found in a cabinet, Lantian was worried that they might contain some secrets, so she kept them.
She opened a tin box of cookies, took out a photograph, and handed it to Ye Fanxing.
When Ye Fanxing took the photo, she was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
The photo shows a young woman holding a baby in her arms, and the baby is holding a rattle drum.
Although it was a black and white photo, Ye Fanxing could still tell that the woman in the photo looked very similar to her master.
Ye Fanxing's hand, holding the photograph, trembled slightly.
She instinctively called out towards the door.
"Huo Dongfang".
Huo Dongfang put down the roasted chestnuts he was holding, got up and went to the door, asking, "Xingxing, what's wrong?"
Ye Fanxing walked up to Huo Dongfang and handed him the photo.
Huo Dongfang took the photo and looked at it, then asked, "Where was this found?"
"It's in the cupboard."
Ye Fanxing stared at Huo Dongfang in astonishment, her lips trembling as she said, "No wonder that photo always looked familiar to me, I just don't know where I've seen it before."
Huo Dongfang put his arm around Ye Fanxing's shoulder and comforted her gently, "Xingxing, this is a good thing."
Ye Fanxing took a deep breath, looked at Huo Dongfang, and said softly, "I'll go check the room where the old things are kept."
When the Ye family's courtyard was rented out, they specifically reserved a room to store the Ye family's old belongings.
Actually, the Ye family didn't have many old belongings left, because when the Cheng family came to stay, they sold off or kept some of the good items for themselves.
The room that Lan Tian rented was actually the room that Ye Fanxing had originally planned to live in.
However, Ye Fanxing didn't stay in this room because some people came to cause trouble in the middle of the night.
Ye Fanxing took the key and walked to the room where the old things were kept. She gently unlocked the door with the key.
With a click, the lock opened.
As soon as the door was opened, a musty, rotten smell wafted out.
Ye Fanxing coughed because of the smell.
As soon as Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing entered the house, they immediately opened the windows to ventilate the room.
In the past, taking photos was a luxury.
However, Ye Heping would still take Ye Fanxing to take photos from time to time to record Ye Fanxing's growth moments.
Ye Fanxing remembered that the Ye family had a picture frame containing many photos.
She simply didn't know whether the Cheng family had touched the photo frame at the time.
Ye Fanxing's rummaging through drawers and cabinets attracted Yin Zhongzheng and Lian Qiao, who were in the courtyard.
"Are you treasure hunting? Why are you making such a commotion?" Yin Zhongzheng asked jokingly from the window.
