Siheyuan: Since 51

Looking back, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Manyu was standing about six or seven meters away, holding Xiao Shuhan's hand with her right hand, and she was in a daze, "Brother, you're back?"

As he said that, he pulled Xiao Shuhan and walked forward quickly, "I miss you so much. You didn't even come back for the New Year."

"Dad?" Xiao Shuhan's eyes widened and he muttered softly, "I don't remember."

Then he looked up and asked, "Aunt, is this really Dad?"

Lin Manyu couldn't help but chuckle and said with a smile: "Yes, this is your father."

Lin Zhiyuan bent down, picked up Xiao Shuhan, and pretended to be serious.

"Okay, you little brat, you actually forgot about me. I think your butt is itchy."

Xiao Shuhan scratched the back of his head, rolled his eyes, and laughed.

"No, no, I...I was just joking with Dad."

"Really?" Lin Zhiyuan twitched the corner of his mouth. The three-year-old kid reacted quite quickly.

……

The courtyard door was ajar and he pushed it open and entered.

What comes into view is a screen wall embedded in the south wall of the east wing.

Due to the erosion of time, the relief is slightly broken, and the pattern is simple, but it can be distinguished. It is bamboo, one of the three friends of winter.

Turn right and you will be in the courtyard.

The south side back house, the east and west wing rooms, and the north side main house all have three rooms, with an ear room on each side of the main house, forming a standard courtyard layout.

The ground in the courtyard is paved with square bricks. There is a tree on each side of the south side, one is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree.

There is a stone table and four stone benches under the tree on the west side.

Qin Huairu, Wu Xia, and Mrs. Chen sat around the table, chatting and enjoying the cool air.

A group of little kids were chasing and playing in the yard...

When we meet each other happily, it is inevitable to exchange pleasantries.

The woman was asking about his health and the little kid was chattering.

After patiently dealing with it for half an hour, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and smiled.

"I'm going to Uncle Chen's house next door and sit with them."

After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for a response.

Return to Chen's house.

The brigade commander glanced sideways, exclaimed, and asked with a smile, "Is it beautiful next door?"

Kenong laughed loudly, winked and said, "Of course, it's quite lively."

Lin Zhiyuan returned to the wooden bench and sat down, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Uncles, please stop joking. You are talking so much that I am exhausted and my ears are buzzing."

"Hahaha!"

……

In the evening, the three men drank at the Lin family's stone table, and the women had a meal together inside the house, which was considered a welcome party for Lin Zhiyuan.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The brigade commander took a bite of the cucumber and made a joke.

"Mr. Lin, how do you feel about returning from the prosperous Hong Kong Island to the poor Beijing City?"

Kenong's face was full of smiles, and he also looked straight at him.

Lin Zhiyuan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a peanut, and threw it into his mouth, his tone mixed with confidence.

"Hong Kong Island is just so-so. It won't be long before Beijing becomes even better."

The brigade commander picked up the cup, and Lin Zhiyuan and Kenong followed immediately.

Clink glasses and drink.

The brigade commander chuckled and reminded, "Blind confidence is not a good thing. If there is a gap, we must acknowledge it and find ways to catch up."

Kenong also echoed, "Yes, being down-to-earth and taking one step at a time is the right path."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't explain much and just laughed it off.

"I'm a hawk, shouldn't I?"

The brigade commander was startled, then laughed and scolded: "Okay, okay, you are a hawk and we are all doves, okay?"

After that, he changed the subject and said, "Rest for a few days and wait for me to make arrangements. I will take you to meet the old boss and the gentleman later."

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his heartbeat speeding up unconsciously, "Old Master and Mr.?"

"Yes, I wasn't talking nonsense before. They both think very highly of you. Go meet them and have a chat. Your next move will depend on what they say."

I saw the gentleman earlier. He looked thin and pitiful.

The admiration and admiration may have touched a chord in Lin Zhiyuan's heart.

As for the old boss, I had dreamed of meeting him and had a premonition that we would meet eventually.

Now, hearing the brigade commander mention it in person, my excitement was hard to contain.

After a long pause, Zheng nodded, "Okay, I will adjust my condition."

The brigade commander nodded and said, "By the way, if you want to visit your relatives and friends recently, it's best to call them over."

"clear."

That night, the breeze was gentle and I returned home slightly tipsy.

The west room of the main house.

Holding Qin Huairu in his arms, Lin Zhiyuan sighed.

"Thank you for your hard work over the past three years. I was not here when Shuhan was born. To be honest, I feel really sorry for you..."

Before she could finish her words, Qin Huairu covered Lin Zhiyuan's mouth with her slender hand and let out a coquettish sound.

"Brother Zhiyuan, what are you talking about? Isn't this what should be done?"

Lin Zhiyuan felt very relieved and raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Yes, yes, yes. I can only say that with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"

Qin Huairu rolled her beautiful eyes, then bent her head slightly, leaned on Lin Zhiyuan's shoulder, and stroked Lin Zhiyuan's chest with her left hand.

"Brother Zhiyuan, I'm actually very happy. I don't have to worry about big things, and everyone goes along with me on small things. I know how difficult the past few years have been, and my family has enough food and drink..."

Lin Zhiyuan listened patiently as he chattered on and on.

Deep in love, Qin Huairu's eyes were as charming as silk, and she bit her lip, "Brother Zhiyuan..."

Lin Zhiyuan understood what he meant.

……

The next day, perhaps because he was overworked, or perhaps because he was completely relaxed after returning home, Lin Zhiyuan had a rare good sleep and did not open his eyes until near noon.

Get dressed and go out.

Qin Huairu was sitting in the living room, with her head slightly lowered, as if she was thinking about something.

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Huai Ru, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Huairu came to her senses and looked up.

"Well, I wanted to tell you last night, but then I was... I was too busy and forgot."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, go wash up first, I'll talk to you later."

Lin Zhiyuan walked forward, sat down next to him, and stuck out his chin.

"Go ahead, I'll go wash up after you finish."

"Xiaoyu, you're already 23 and still not married. I mentioned this to Second Aunt before, and she said she'd wait for you to come back and check it out..."

"Last summer, I came back and told her that there was a boy who liked her. What's the situation now?"

"Don't mention it. After a few days together, Xiaoyu said it's not suitable."

Qin Huairu said this, frowning slightly and sighing.

"It's so frustrating. I've talked to Second Aunt about it so many times, but it's no use. Why don't you wait until she gets off work and talk to her.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Lin Zhiyuan agreed and asked, "Why is it so quiet? Where is Xiao Shuhan?"

"Next door. Ever since he moved in, he has been pestering people to buy things for him, and he has been going to play with little Chen Ya next door. This brat is really naughty and makes me worry."

"Hahaha, boys should be a little naughty."

Lin Zhiyuan went to wash up and Qin Huairu started cooking.

lunch.

Wu Xia and Lin Manyu went to work and did not come back.

Lin Zhiyuan and Qin Huairu took the five little ones out for dinner.

Why five?

The three brothers Lin Shufan, Xiao Shuhan who came home from school to visit, and Xiao Chenya, the fifth child of the brigade commander next door, make that five people in total.

After washing his hands and going to the table, Xiao Shuhan bent his head and whispered to Xiao Chenya.

"I'm right, right? When my dad comes back, there will definitely be delicious food."

Little Chen Ya stared at the plate of fried meat on the table and nodded vigorously, "Yes, I like to eat fatty meat."

After meal.

Qin Huairu packed up and the three of them went to school and went back to the room for a nap. Xiao Shuhan followed Xiao Chenya and ran to the next door again.

Lin Zhiyuan carefully inspected the residence in the back, and after walking around in circles, he suddenly discovered a problem.
