People can start to move around from the second day of the Lunar New Year. Chu Yao and Yang Hang visit each other's acquaintances to wish them a happy new year, and people Yao Jinnian knew before also come to visit.
Chu Yao had originally planned to take her family out for fun on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but now that someone had come to pay New Year's greetings, the fun plan was postponed.
Just don't be in a hurry.
By the fifth day of the New Year, whether someone came to pay New Year's greetings or they went out to pay New Year's greetings to others, they had finally finished paying their respects. Fortunately, they didn't know many people in Kyoto.
It is worth mentioning that the elders in Johnnie To and Zhang Wenjun’s families are indeed old acquaintances of Uncle Nian.
After a day's rest, Chu Yao felt that she was finally alive. Paying New Year's greetings was really a tiring task, and even the most energetic little ones couldn't stand it.
However, these little guys received a lot of red envelopes this year, and of course, they gave out a lot as well.
After the New Year's greetings came to an end, Chu Yao fulfilled her promise and said she would take her family to other scenic spots and historical sites. She said she would do what she said.
So, in the next few days, Chu Yao took her family, big and small, to travel to various places.
They left their footprints in the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, Fragrant Hill, Badachu, etc., and there are many commemorative photos.
Happy times are always short. In a blink of an eye, the year has passed, and Chu Yao's parents have to go back to their hometown to arrange things at home before coming back.
The same thing went for Yang Zheng and Wu Siyu. They had not originally planned to go back, but after thinking about the things at home, they had to go back, and then the four old people would come together later.
Although Yao Jinnian was reluctant to let them go back, his reluctance faded a little when he thought that they would be back in a few months.
Considering that the elderly people were older, Yang Hang asked someone to buy four sleeper tickets. After watching the four parents get on the train, they returned home.
After returning home, Yao Jinnian dragged A Zhao and the other little ones to the study. It was time for them to read. Since the Chinese New Year, they had been like wild horses that had broken free from their reins. They had not turned a few pages of the book and had not even practiced writing big characters.
Chu Yao and a few other young people were the only ones left in the hall, and they were planning to hold a small meeting.
"Ayao, we have decided to buy a small yard and move out first, and then start setting up a stall." said brother Chu Heng.
"What do brother and sister-in-law think?" Chu Yao turned her gaze towards Yang Ming and Zheng Yu.
Yang Ming replied cautiously: "We have the same idea as Chu Heng. We want to have a home first, and then we can move out. This way it will be more convenient for us to do business. The children will be here and won't disturb you."
Chu Yao and Yang Hang knew that their family was determined to move out, so they didn't say much to try to keep them.
"Brothers and sisters-in-law, let's go look at houses tomorrow. If you don't have enough money, we still have some. We can buy the house first."
Chu Heng and Yang Ming readily agreed. If they wanted to buy a better house, they really needed the help of Yang Hang and Chu Yao.
The reason why Chu Yao said this was because she had already received the dividends from the store.
Chu Yao had not been to the store in the few days before the Chinese New Year and until now, but when Du Qichen and Zhang Wenjun came to her house to pay New Year's greetings, they also brought the year-end dividends, which made Chu Yao's pockets fatter again.
That's why she dared to express her support for her two brothers, since she had their backs.
Chu Yao has always been the one who makes the decisions on important matters at home, and Yang Hang doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
As for the help that A Yao mentioned, he also knew that Chu Yao had told him about it the previous night, and when he returned home before the New Year, he also brought some money with him, which he had already given to A Yao.
After the few of them had discussed it, they prepared to act separately.
Chu Yao and Yang Hang went to check out the house first. Chu Heng and Yang Ming were going to make a mobile vehicle for setting up stalls, and Chu Yao had drawn up the blueprints.
The two sisters-in-law were in the kitchen making the snacks that Chu Yao had taught them before, or making other things.
Everyone has their own responsibilities, and Yao Jinnian helps supervise the children reading and doing homework.
Chu Yao and Yang Hang were planning to go out. They had looked at several courtyards last year and were now going to see if any had been bought.
"Yang Hang, A Yao, are you going out?" Zhang Wenjun's voice came.
"Wenjun, you're here. Yes, we plan to go check out the yard. We plan to buy some more while we have some spare money."
Zhang Wenjun and Du Qichen were no longer surprised, after all, Chu Yao had mentioned before that she wanted to buy more yards.
"It seems that we came at the right time today."
Chu Yao looked at Du Qichen in confusion.
After a moment's thought, she understood.
Johnnie To and Zhang Wenjun are both from Kyoto, so they must be familiar with the courtyard houses.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
"Hey, Chu Yao, please at least let us drink some water to warm ourselves up. We rode our bikes here and we're freezing."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault." Chu Yao said as she pulled the two of them into the house.
Yang Hang: Ayao, you have forgotten me.
After taking a few sips of hot tea, Johnnie To and Zhang Wenjun finally felt warm.
"Ayao, Wenjun and I have looked at about seven or eight courtyard houses this time. Some have three courtyards and some have two. The property rights of these courtyards are clearly defined, and the layout of the courtyards has not been damaged."
"Originally, there were quite a lot of these courtyard houses, but because there were too many people living there, they were demolished and left in a shabby state. However, there are still several in the city center, but the price is a bit high."
After hearing this, Chu Yao's eyes suddenly widened. This place is in the city center, close to the imperial palace. The courtyard house in this area is definitely worth the money.
