I am doing well in the Siheyuan

The two children, wearing red cotton-padded jackets, also started shouting.

"You're just like Xiaoxin, both are greedy. Give me five strings of candied haws!"

Ye Ming shook his head and smiled.

Ran Qiuye watched from the side with a smile on her lips.

When Ye Ming took his family to visit relatives and friends, the Cheng family in the same courtyard still seemed deserted.

In the courtyard.

"Jianjun's mom, I haven't seen your Jianjun for a long time, where has he been?"

When the neighbors saw Cheng Ma, they greeted her as usual.

"He went out to work, saying it was a work-study program."

Mother Cheng looked slightly embarrassed.

"I told you, Jianjun has been a very sensible kid since he was young."

"Of course, otherwise how could I get into college?"

Neighbors praised it.

Mother Cheng forced a smile and left with the basin in her arms.

At the doorstep, Dad Cheng was squatting in the corner smoking and had just put out his cigarette.

At this time, the sound of a car horn was heard at the gate of the compound, attracting many people to watch.

"Did someone in our yard buy a car?"

Mother Cheng looked back at the lively scene, feeling a little confused.

"I guess Su Meng or Han Chunming bought it. Okay, let's go back to the house and make dumplings!"

Dad Cheng saw what Mom Cheng was thinking and sighed helplessly.

Just as he was about to stand up, a figure rushed over quickly.

"Old Cheng, your son is back!"

As soon as these words came out, the basin in Cheng Ma's hand fell to the ground.

These days, she has been looking forward to Cheng Jianjun's return home so that they can have a reunion dinner together.

Upon hearing the news, she didn't care about other trivial matters and ran out of the yard with light steps.

Father Cheng seemed a little embarrassed at the moment and was reluctant to follow.

Outside the compound, a Santana sedan was parked quietly in the alley.

The car door opened and a man in a brand new suit carrying a briefcase stepped out.

This person is Cheng Jianjun.

This car was specially equipped for him by Li Huaide. Returning home in glory, it was natural for him to display the appropriate pomp and circumstance.

"Junzi, you're back?"

Looking at the refreshed Cheng Jianjun in front of her, Cheng's mother couldn't help but feel a little bit unbelievable.

"mom!"

Cheng Jianjun greeted him with a smile on his face.

“This car isn’t cheap, is it?”

"Let alone the car, this outfit alone must cost several thousand dollars. Isn't he still in college? Where did he get so much money?"

"I heard from Jianjun's mom that he earned the money by working part-time after school?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Can you earn so much by doing odd jobs?"

"Oh, I haven't seen you for half a year. I almost didn't recognize you!"

At this time, Cheng's father also walked out leisurely.

The noise of discussion around him made his originally hunched back straighten a little.

"Old Cheng, your son has bought a car, you have to let us hear the firecrackers!"

"Yes, yes, I'll get the firecrackers right away!"

In order to ease the atmosphere, Dad Cheng turned around and went back to get firecrackers to set off.

After the sound of firecrackers, the excitement in the yard also faded away.

Today is New Year's Eve and everyone is busy.

The Cheng family finally sat together.

"Junzi, you've lost weight!"

After not seeing each other for a while, Cheng Jianjun had indeed lost a lot of weight, which made Cheng's mother very distressed.

"Junzi, where did you get this money from?"

Father Cheng's face turned serious, as he was worried that the money had an unknown origin.

"Don't worry, my clay sculpture skills have been noticed by a big boss, and he plans to sell my works abroad."

Cheng Jianjun gave a casual explanation, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Cheng's father.

"Mom, please keep this money first."

He pretended to be calm and took out an envelope from his briefcase.

When I opened it, there was ten thousand yuan inside.

Looking at his parents' surprised expressions, he couldn't help feeling a little proud, after all, he was still young.

It is rare to have achieved such an achievement before the age of 20 in the entire city.

Three such people suddenly appeared in their compound.

"What else can he do? He is still working at the construction site with the girl from the Lou family, leaving early and returning late."

Mother Cheng curled her lips.

Han Chunming earns a good amount of money every month on the construction site. Even though he doesn't show off deliberately, one can clearly feel that the Han family's quality of life has improved.

"Didn't he say he collected a lot of antiques in the past?"

Cheng Jianjun asked tentatively.

He found it hard to believe that Han Chunming really had so many antique collections and could remain so calm, especially as the antique market had been in a downturn recently.

"That being said, I heard that many neighbors asked him to identify antiques, but in the end they never saw him!"

When mentioning this matter, Cheng's mother seemed quite disdainful.

People live in the same yard and come in and out, so there will always be some rumors spreading.

Cheng Jianjun was very puzzled when he heard these words. In his opinion, Han Chunming should not be so low-key.

"By the way, Su Meng came to see you a few days ago. What's the matter?"

Mother Cheng suddenly remembered that Su Meng came to see Cheng Jianjun a few days ago.

"Su Meng?"

Cheng Jianjun frowned, unable to guess why Su Meng came to see him.

The other party has a proud personality and would never condescend to come to him unless there is something important.

"I think she will come to see me again. Let's eat first."

Cheng Jianjun changed the subject and saw Cheng's mother get up and prepare to cook.

He didn't take Su Meng's visit to him seriously.

After his experience with Li Huaide, he already had some understanding of the situation of Uncle Liu and Su Meng.

Although not as good as some people, it is still a good life.

Since the other party came to him for something, there was no need for him to lower himself and take the initiative to approach him.

The Su family's side.

After being hospitalized for illness, Mr. Su has returned home to recuperate for a period of time and is gradually recovering.

No matter how much he despised those who were obsessed with money, it was indeed Uncle Liu who saved his life this time.

After experiencing life and death, you can take many things more lightly.

He didn't care much about Su Meng dropping out of school to follow Uncle Liu in business.

Children have their own blessings.

Teacher Liu suggested that Uncle Liu come home for the New Year's Eve dinner, and he readily agreed.

After all, Uncle Liu helped a lot during my hospitalization, and having a meal with him was a way to express my gratitude.

"I'm telling you, just come if you want to, and bring so many gifts!"

"Mom, uncle, this is a very polite gesture!"

"It's not right to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year without anything to show for them!"

When Teacher Su picked up the reading material, Teacher Liu was leading Su Meng and Uncle Liu into the room.

"We are all family, no need to be so polite!"

Teacher Su echoed Teacher Liu's words at the right time.

Hearing this, Su Meng and Uncle Liu looked at each other and smiled, with smiles all over their faces.

This undoubtedly brings the first good news of the new year.

At this moment, Teacher Su seemed to be more understanding than before.

"Mom, do you know whose car is parked in the alley? I heard it's a new car purchased by Ye Ming?"

When Su Meng returned, she noticed a new car parked in the alley and couldn't help but feel curious.

Although she has the financial resources to buy a car, in the current market environment, Su Meng prefers to use the funds for investment.

After all, a vehicle starts to depreciate once you purchase it, but that’s not the case with a business.

Following Uncle Liu's experience and insights, Su Meng tends to think more from a businessman's perspective.
