After dreaming of her relatives, Chen Shuning's heart was suddenly opened. She knew that her grandparents, parents and parents were all doing well and were waiting for her there.
Chen Shuning felt that God had really been kind to her. She had those relatives who loved her so much in her previous life, and she also had these lovely family members in this life.
Therefore, she was far happier than others. In such a difficult era, thanks to the blessings of her ancestors, she was able to live a life free from worries about food and clothing.
If you already have so much, and you still feel sorry for yourself and think you're unhappy, then aren't you being too ungrateful?
When people have hope, they won't dwell on things anymore, and Chen Shuning's temperament visibly improved after she stopped dwelling on things.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket that was very characteristic of this era, he took Chen Jiandang and He Chaoyang to visit several familiar families in the village to offer New Year's greetings.
As soon as she got back, she started packing Chen Jiandang's luggage. It seemed like she wanted to bring her whole family with her younger brother.
At this moment, Chen Shuning felt like she was seeing her mother packing her luggage before she went to the countryside.
They packed six packages of all sizes. Luckily, He Chaoyang had found someone who could put the person on the train.
Beijing is the final stop there, so I can just call my parents and ask them to pick me up from the train. That way, I can bring all these things back with me.
Along the way, He Chaoyang asked someone to help him find the train conductor so that Chen Shuning could rest assured even if he went back alone.
On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Chaoyang went back to the army base to borrow a vehicle. Otherwise, if he had taken the village's oxcart, he would have had to leave in the middle of the night, or he might have missed the bus.
Early on the second day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, the three of them set off towards Wangshan County.
Chen Shuning sat in the back seat with Chen Jiandang, nagging him all the way home that he must listen to his parents and never cause trouble again.
After nagging for a while, he remembered the money he had prepared for Chen Jiandang, so he hurriedly took out fifty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Jiandang's hand. At the same time, he told his younger brother about his idea of buying a house.
Tell him to keep an eye out for houses in Beijing, especially the compound where they currently live. If any houses are for sale, let her know so she can send money home to buy one.
Chen Jiandang knew that his sister had some money, and he supported her idea of buying a house, so he readily agreed.
Although Chen Shuning now has tens of thousands of yuan in his space, he can't easily take it out, so he can't give his family more subsidies.
What Chen Jiandang considered a huge sum of money was nothing to Chen Shuning.
The reason Chen Shuning gave Chen Jiandang this money was because he valued the young man's talent for antiques.
You have to understand what kind of place Beijing is. It's right under the emperor's nose, the capital of two dynasties, and there are tons of good things there. I was thinking that if this kid had money, he might actually find something good, and that would be a fortune in the future.
Even if we can't find it, fifty yuan isn't much; we can just consider it pocket money for my younger brother.
As for the ancient painting that Chen Jiandang discovered, given the current situation, Chen Shuning did not let Chen Jiandang take it back. Instead, she kept it for him until the situation improved and gave it to him in the future.
He Chaoyang, however, was hearing for the first time that Chen Shuning wanted to buy a house, so he asked a question.
"Shuning, what kind of house do you want? I have a friend who works at the housing management office. If you want to buy a house, you can ask him to help you take a look."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuning's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I especially like old-fashioned courtyard houses. If possible, could you help me ask if there are any courtyard houses with clear property rights? If so, I would like to buy one. Of course, if it's not too much trouble."
"It's not troublesome at all. We're all brothers who grew up together. It's just a matter of a word."
However, I do have a courtyard house like the one you mentioned, near Ping'an Avenue. It's a three-courtyard house.
It was my grandmother's dowry. A few years ago, because the housing management office needed to clarify property rights, my grandmother directly put that yard in my name.
"If you really like it, we can live there after we get married, then you don't need to buy a house."
Upon hearing that it was a three-courtyard house on Ping'an Avenue, Chen Shuning realized that it would definitely be a mansion worth over 100 million yuan in later generations!
Moreover, it sounds like the property rights are clear, and it's registered under He Chaoyang's name.
Even so, Chen Shuning did not give up her plan to buy the courtyard. However, He Chaoyang's words that she could live there after getting married made Chen Shuning blush.
She glared at He Chaoyang with a shy expression and said, "What's yours is yours, but I still want to buy the house. Anyway, the money is just sitting there, and I really like this antique courtyard. Besides, the house might even appreciate in value after I buy it."
He smiled upon hearing this, saying he would have his friend keep an eye out, but in his heart he was thinking that the little girl's hobby was quite unique.
Anyway, houses aren't expensive right now. If he comes across a good one, he can buy it first. Just like the little girl said, the money is just sitting there anyway, so he might as well exchange it for something the little girl likes.
What Chen Shuning didn't know was that her casual remark led the man in front of her to buy quite a few courtyards in the days that followed.
After the two got married, on their wedding night, while other husbands would hand over their savings or bankbooks, her foolish husband handed over a stack of property deeds.
The various types of courtyard houses are still well preserved, retaining their original appearance.
It was these courtyards scattered throughout Beijing that allowed Chen Shuning to successfully live the life of a landlady she had always dreamed of.
