Ten days passed in a flash.

The person in the hospital bed went from being unable to move to being able to get out of bed and take a few steps occasionally.

However, the occasional frequency depends on how much water Shen Zhihuan feeds him and how often.

When Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia saw that their son was able to get out of bed, they finally felt relieved.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If I stay any longer, I might not be able to go home in time for the Little New Year.

The two of them packed up a little, carried the New Year's goods that Shen Zhihuan had bought for Xiao Qiping, Zhou Xiuqiao, Su Zijun, Su Lili and the two of them, and set off for the train station.

Originally, Zhang Fengxia wanted to take Shen Zhihuan back with her, intending to help her recuperate during this period before school started.

But when she saw the eager look in her boy's eyes, she felt a little hesitant...

Later, when I asked Shen Zhihuan, the answer I got was that he didn't want to go through so much trouble.

Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

It has been two months since they got married, and the time they have spent talking together can be counted on one’s fingers.

After a while, one went to school and the other returned to the army, so it became even harder to see each other.

It’s good that we have time to get along well and cultivate our relationship now.

After seeing off Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia, Shen Zhihuan went to Peking University. There were little soldiers taking care of him in the hospital, and he could walk a few steps on his own, so there was nothing to worry about.

I don’t know if it’s because classes have just resumed and it’s the holidays, but the streets leading to the school are deserted.

There has been no major planning here, and it is still a collection of tall and short old houses.

Shen Zhihuan walked and looked along the way.

Because it was afternoon, the sky looked even bluer when the sun shone. There were many old ladies sitting in front of their homes on the street, basking in the sun and chatting.

Whenever something funny happened, the group of old ladies would laugh so hard that they fell over.

Seeing Shen Zhihuan walking and looking around, an old lady with a round face came forward with a smile, "Little girl, are you here to look for someone?"

"No, Auntie, I want to ask, is there anyone selling a house in our area?" Shen Zhihuan smiled faintly.

There are no real estate agents these days. If you want to buy a house, you have to ask these omniscient "intelligence workers".

"Why are you, a little girl, buying a house?" An old lady in a flowered jacket next to her frowned and looked at Shen Zhihuan, with obvious scrutiny in her eyes.

Hearing the old lady in the flowered jacket say this, the expressions of the other old ladies became subtle.

Some even looked defensive.

"I will come to Peking University to study in the early spring of next year. My husband is serving in the 82nd Army not far away. It is not very convenient for a married woman like me to live in the school, so I am thinking of buying a yard outside so that it will be more convenient to live in." Shen Zhihuan lowered her head slightly and said shyly.

Several old ladies looked at each other, and their eyes revealed an expression that could only be understood but not expressed in words.

We are all experienced people...

Some things don't need to be said, we all understand! We have all been young before.

"Girl, I don't think you are very old!" The old lady in the flowery jacket looked Shen Zhihuan up and down, her face full of interest, just like a cat that smells blood, extremely excited.

"We just...got married two months ago." Shen Zhihuan pretended to be shy. If you didn't know her, you would really think she was a newly married bride.

Several old ladies showed an expression...

She knew the expression.

Newlyweds...

Oh my! It's just like dry wood meeting raging fire.

"He was injured while on a mission and is still lying in the military hospital. I took the opportunity to look for a house while his comrades came to see him." Shen Zhihuan sighed and said in a depressed mood.

When I heard her say that the man was injured and in the hospital, I felt a little sympathetic.

I no longer have the mind to gossip.

"Aunt Wang, hasn't your eldest brother always wanted to sell the courtyard house? Why don't you take this girl to have a look?" The old lady in the flowery jacket looked at the round-faced old lady.

"Yes! Didn't your sister-in-law say she wanted to sell it and move in with your nephew? Why don't you take the girl to have a look?"

"If you succeed in buying this girl, you will be doing a favor for your elder brother and his wife and this girl."

"Go and have a look!"

"Her eldest brother and his wife's courtyard is a little small, but it's completely enough for you two to live in!"

Even if I have three or five children in the future, there will be enough space to live in.

The old lady in the flowery jacket didn't say this out loud.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Several old ladies were talking one after another. The round-faced old lady frowned, looking embarrassed.

"If you find it inconvenient, forget it. I'll go to the front and take a look." Shen Zhihuan said and was about to leave.

"Aunt Wang, you are being a little unkind. Have you forgotten that your youngest son fell into an ice hole outside the city a few years ago? If it weren't for the soldiers who risked their lives to jump in and rescue him, would you be able to hold a big fat grandson?"

"This old lady Wang is heartless. Let's ignore her from now on."

"I really didn't realize she was that kind of person."

…

For a moment, several old ladies began to take turns attacking the round-faced old lady.

"Girl, come on, if she doesn't take you, I will take you there." The old lady in the flowery jacket patted the jacket and raised her leg to lead the way.

"It's not that I don't want to take this girl with me, it's just..." The round-faced old lady frowned and was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "My sister-in-law's asking price is too high."

The old ladies fell silent in an instant.

Thinking of Boss Niu and his wife, everyone's face was filled with indescribable expressions.

"There are only nine rooms in total, big and small, with a small courtyard of 20 or 30 square meters, and she wants 3,600 yuan. This is not..." The round-faced old lady shook her head and sighed, and finally did not say the unpleasant sentence at the end.

"Aren't these two people robbing openly?" The old lady in the flowered jacket jumped up high.

"Yes! Isn't this robbery? That shabby house is 3,600 yuan. Two years ago, the courtyard house at the innermost part of the alley was only sold for 2,600 yuan, but the couple wanted 3,600 yuan..."

"I heard a few days ago that the weird old man at the entrance of the alley wanted to sell his house and return to his hometown to retire. I don't know if he has sold it yet?" said a petite old lady.

"Is he the weird old man next door to Mr. Zhu's house?" The old lady in the flowery jacket's eyes lit up.

"That's the old man He." The short old lady nodded.

"I've heard about it, too. If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it. Old Man He's yard is much better than Old Man Zhu's. It's spacious and bright. There's even a big golden osmanthus tree in the yard. In late September, the fragrance... can be smelled for miles."

"That house is nice, and the yard is big."

big……

The first feeling Shen Zhihuan had when he stepped into Old Man He's yard was that it was a big one.

She had been so used to living in the Shen family's small courtyard that she almost forgot that she was once a wealthy person who owned a villa of a thousand square meters.
