The yard on the front street was quiet because no one lived there.
Ji Shuyan didn't have the key, so he could only climb over the wall to get in. However, as soon as he climbed to the top of the wall, he found that there was an invisible thing blocking him.
The yard was pitch black and it was hard to see what was going on inside.
Ji Shuyan raised his hand and touched the wall-like thing in front of him, his eyes darkening.
He didn't give up and climbed up the opposite wall again. Just as he guessed, there was still an invisible thing surrounding the entire yard.
Ji Shuyan left the courtyard on the front street calmly and returned to the Ji family.
At this time, Yi Xiaoqiu and her daughter were already drowsy. When they heard Ji Shuyan opening the door, they opened their eyes.
"Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?" Yi Xiaoqiu asked casually.
Ji Shuyan had his back to him, and his hand that was taking off his coat paused, as if nothing had happened. "Isn't your fellow villager going back to visit his family? Can the yard on the front street still start construction on time?"
Yi Xiaoqiu almost bit her tongue. She was so focused on distancing herself from the "fellow villager" that she had forgotten what she had said in front of Ji Shuyan about asking the fellow villager to help with the decoration.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'm in a hurry to get that yard, and I can't do it alone. My fellow villager has introduced a lot of people to me, so it doesn't matter whether they are here or not."
Ji Shuyan said calmly: "When will the renovation start? Is there anything I can do?"
Even if Yi Xiaoqiu was beaten to death, he would never have thought that Ji Shuyan had sneaked into the courtyard at night and discovered something strange.
She casually said, "It should be within the next few days! Just do it casually. There are so many of them, it won't take long."
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know at this moment that she would soon be slapped in the face by her own words.
Ji Shuyan paid attention to Yi Xiaoqiu's expression, and seeing that she didn't feel guilty at all, he said nothing.
"Go to sleep!"
The Spring Festival of 1977 passed quickly, and Yi Xiaoqiu's mission was stuck again.
No matter how close Yi Xiaoqiu and Ji Shuyan were, the mission didn't make much progress.
She thought Ji Shuyan was so attached to her because he loved her, but she never thought that he just wanted to see what she was hiding?
Ji Shuyan couldn't enter that room, and Yi Xiaoqiu hadn't been there during this period, so Ji Shuyan had no chance to investigate what was wrong with the room.
Until the New Year was almost over, Ji Shuyan still didn't find an opportunity.
Ji Shuyan was thoughtful and careful, but Yi Xiaoqiu didn't notice what the man beside her was thinking. All she could think about was Shen Ruofei and Song Ying coming to Beijing.
Shen Ruofei and her friends were so tired of staying in the countryside that they couldn't wait for the New Year to be over, so they packed their luggage and boarded the train on the third day of the New Year.
More than ten days later, Yi Xiaoqiu and Ji Shuyan drove to the train station to pick someone up.
Not long after they arrived at the station, Shen Ruofei, Song Ying, Su Mianmian and others came out of the station with their boyfriends. Also there were the male educated youth who were taking the college entrance examination in the Great Northern Wilderness, as well as Guo Xiaochuan and his sister.
However, there were also people who didn't come, including Luo Wanlin and Mo Hengan, as well as Gu Chengfeng and Lu Rongrong, and Chu Zhiqing who left early.
Yi Xiaoqiu introduced Ji Shuyan to everyone and then took everyone away from the station.
There were so many educated youth that Ji Shuyan’s car couldn’t accommodate them, so he rented a tricycle to take them to the courtyard on the front street.
Yi Xiaoqiu was not in a hurry to ask about everyone's situation. He wanted to take everyone back to rest first and then talk slowly.
As a result, as soon as everyone arrived at the gate, Lu Huaian suggested going to school first, settling down, and having a chance to get together again in the future.
Yi Xiaoqiu thought about it and decided that they could go to school now, so she didn't force it and asked Ji Shuyan to take the boys to school.
And Shen Ruofei and the others naturally stayed.
Yi Xiaoqiu pushed open the gate and Shen Ruofei immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! This... did you buy this? It's so beautiful, isn't it?"
As soon as Shen Ruofei entered the yard, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
The courtyard was restored by the housekeeper in the original Qing Dynasty style. The materials are exquisite and the overall layout has a classical beauty. Some cypress trees are planted appropriately in the courtyard, and there are also grape trellises and swings.
Although it is early spring now, the yard is lush and full of vitality.
Su Mianmian looked at all this, a trace of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
"Well... I bought it and repaired it, and that's it." Yi Xiaoqiu said vaguely.
After the yard was renovated, she secretly came to take a look.
Even if she had been reborn ten thousand times, she would never have expected the housekeeper's decoration to be so good. The decoration and furniture were completely copied one-to-one according to the Ming and Qing styles. Fortunately, she did not ask the housekeeper to make any repairs outside the courtyard.
Song Ying didn't feel anything.
"Everyone, come in and see your rooms. I received the telegram and prepared a room for you. Put your things away first. We're going out to eat. After we're done, we'll get some sleep. We can talk about anything else after we've rested."
Seeing that Shen Ruofei looked interested, Yi Xiaoqiu was afraid that she would ask to buy a yard like this, so she quickly asked everyone to go to the room.
Yi Xiaoqiu was worried that Guo Xiaocao would not be able to adapt here alone, so he specially asked Guo Xiaochuan to stay as well.
"Xiaochuan, Xiaocao, your room is in the west wing. The two rooms are right next to each other. I'll take you there."
Five people lived in the east and west wing rooms, and the main room was empty.
"Xiaoqiu, your room is so beautiful, isn't it?" Shen Ruofei opened the window and looked at Yi Xiaoqiu excitedly.
When she saw Yi Xiaoqiu's yard, she thought that she would own such a courtyard house in the near future, and she became extremely excited.
Yi Xiaoqiu knew what Chen Ruofei was thinking, so she just said, "This yard is just the entrance, it's still a little small."
When Shen Ruofei heard her mention the yard, she immediately became excited and ran out of the room, whispering, "How much is this yard?"
Yi Xiaoqiu raised two fingers. "More."
"Oh my god! So expensive?"
Shen Ruofei subconsciously grasped her pocket.
"Look at this location." Yi Xiaoqiu gave him a look that said you understand.
Seeing her look like she thought it was too expensive, Yi Xiaoqiu thought she probably wouldn't buy it here, but she didn't expect...
Shen Ruofei nodded, "Mingqi, I want to buy a bigger one, do you know anyone?"
"How old?"
Shen Ruofei held up two fingers, just like she had done before.
"I need to ask someone."
While the two were talking, Su Mianmian and Song Ying came over without them noticing.
"Xiaoqiu, I also plan to settle down here." Su Mianmian looked at Yi Xiaoqiu eagerly.
Chi Shunian's family didn't care about her. Having academic qualifications was not enough. She also wanted to have a house in Beijing and settle down here in the future.
This year, Chi Shunian went home early to celebrate the New Year. She came with Shen Ruofei, and Chi Shunian didn't even say he would come to pick her up.
It was impossible for Su Mianmian to say that she had no hope.
However, after being brainwashed by Shen Ruofei in the past two years, she gradually gave up the idea of being faithful to one person. If Chi Shunian is not suitable, the worst that can happen is that she can just change him.
Song Ying has this expression on her face that I want too.
She had long been tired of the small mud house that looked like a prison cell in the Great Northern Wilderness. Now when she saw Yi Xiaoqiu's yard, she realized that she had lived in a pigsty before, and this was where people should live.
Everyone has money, and the house is in the capital. If you don’t buy it now, when will you?
Yi Xiaoqiu understood immediately when he saw everyone's expressions.
"Okay! I'll find someone to help you find out."
Shen Ruofei and her friends had a welcoming banquet, took a nap, and were very excited to go house hunting the next day.
