Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Qin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have one condition. You can't move any of the furniture in this courtyard. I don't want to spend money on furniture anymore."

Mr. Hu sighed and said, "The value of these furniture is not less than this courtyard house. OK, I agree. After all, it is difficult to sell them and I can't take them away. But I also have one condition."

"You say."

"My wife and sons have already gone to the United States. We are going to leave on the Lantern Festival after the Spring Festival. During this period, we will still live here. We can only hand over the keys after we leave."

Qin Zheng was confused.

What's going on? His wife has already gone to the United States, and the couple are still in China. Why is his brain a little confused?

Seeing Qin Zheng's expression, Chen Xueru understood and quickly explained: "Uncle Hu has two wives."

She didn't say much, but Qin Zheng understood and quickly said, "No problem."

There was no way he could refuse this request.

Mr. Hu sighed again and said, "If Mr. Qin still has energy to spare, I have another courtyard in Houhai. There are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and fine wine in the two courtyards. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Of course."

Qin Zheng was overjoyed.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Mr. Hu's face.

Since there are antiques, Niu Ye comes in handy. Of course, Chen Xueru has no confidence in Niu Ye, but reality teaches her a lesson.

Niu Ye's level was surprisingly almost the same as that of the researchers at the Palace Museum. Two days later, Qin Zheng paid 30,000 yuan to get all the above-mentioned items. He was so happy that he was bubbling with joy. There were more than 500 items in total, and the key was that there were some things that were not worth the money, including a lot of stamps, and there were two sets of Dalong stamps alone.

After moving all the things to the Houhai courtyard, on the way to send Chen Xueru home, she asked:

"Brother Zheng, I understand you want to buy one courtyard house, but why buy two? You can't live in both. And what's the point of buying those antiques?"

Qin Zheng smiled in his heart. Chen Xueru was still young and could not appreciate the value of antiques. But in a dozen years, she would probably be even crazier than him in buying antiques.

"Both parties benefit from this. I can't spend my rice in China. It's like waste paper in my pocket."

Hearing this, a smile suddenly broke out on Chen Xueru's face. She no longer had any objection.

At this time, heavy snow was falling, the ground was covered in silver, and walking on the road made a "crunching, crunching" sound.

However, there is a special kind of fun for lovers walking in the snow.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Xue Ru, as the old saying goes: Don't judge a person by his appearance, and don't measure the depth of the ocean by a bucket. Confucius said: When three people walk together, there must be one person who can be my teacher. Buddhists say: When you are in a high position, you should regard others as yourself; when you are in a low position, you should regard yourself as others. Sima Yi also said: If you look at people's shortcomings, there is no one in the world who is worth making friends with; if you look at people's strengths, everyone in the world can be my teacher. Therefore, when dealing with people, we should look at people's strengths, help them in their difficulties, and remember their good points."

Chen Xueru slapped Qin Zheng and said coquettishly, "Oh, you are blaming me for being a snob and having no vision, right? Humph!"

After saying that, he no longer cared about Qin Zheng and walked forward quickly.

Qin Zheng shook his head, took a few quick steps to catch up with her, looked around to see if there was anyone around, leaned in and kissed her, laughed, and ran forward.

"Hate it, you bad guy!"

Chen Xueru said coquettishly from behind, caught up with Qin Zheng and hit him on the back, then took Qin Zheng's hand and walked forward.

Even through the gloves, Qin Zheng could still feel the small hand in his palm was soft as boneless and very comfortable to hold. He lifted their clasped hands and kissed the back of her hand, causing Chen Xueru to hold her hand even tighter.

After walking a few more steps, Chen Xueru said, "I know what you mean. I will pay attention to it next time."

This is the real Chen Xueru, who has a hot-tempered personality, dares to love and hate, is both arrogant and domineering, competitive and strong-willed, and has a very high spirit. Only in front of Qin Zheng will she be willing to humble herself.

She is lively, full of vitality and down-to-earth. Her confidence is always on her face, and her smile is also on her face.

The two of them stayed together for a while, sent Chen Xueru home, and Qin Zheng returned to the courtyard in Houhai and transferred all the collections to the front and back rooms of the space.

On New Year's Eve, after dinner, Han Qing asked, "Xiao Zheng, are you still in touch with the girl I met last time when I was making clothes?"

Qin Zheng said, "Dad, Mom, I was just about to tell you. Xueru and I have confirmed our relationship. I have been to her home before the New Year, and her family has no objection to our relationship."

This attracted the attention of the whole family.

Han Qing slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you naughty kid, how can you be so opinionated! Why didn't you tell your family in advance and let us propose marriage to you? Didn't they say that our family was disrespectful?"

This is the thinking of the older generation. They still think that such matters should be handled by the parents.

Qin Leshan also said: "That's it."

Qin Zheng said, "Mom, we don't have to be so particular now. Her family doesn't object, so do you guys have any objections?"

Han Qing was so happy that her face was beaming with joy. She said happily, "No problem. That girl is also capable. Your father and I are very satisfied. But you are only eighteen years old now. It will take you two years to get married. What are your plans?"

Her words naturally meant that Qin Leshan had no objection, as he always listened to his wife at home.

"We thought, let's get engaged first, and then get married when the time is right."

Qin Leshan nodded: "Well, this is also good, we can't let the girl down."

Qin Leshan made the decision and said, "Okay. In March, you will be eighteen years old. In the first half of this year, our family will have two major events. One is that your brother will go to his girlfriend's house to give the betrothal gift, and the second is to arrange a marriage for you."

Han Qing clapped her hands and said, "Let's do it."

Time flies, and April is here.

Xu Huizhen's birthday is April 4th, and she just turned 15, while Qin Ming still has a month to go before he turns 18 and reaches the legal age for marriage.

However, Han Qing was anxious to have a grandson, so when her future eldest daughter-in-law just turned 18, she couldn't wait to go to Xu Huizhen's house to propose marriage.

After his parents went to Niulanshan, Qin Zheng was responsible for taking care of the children at home, and two of them.

Riding a bicycle, with He Yushui sitting in the front and Qin Han sitting in the back, the three of them arrived at Dazhalan.

"Sister Xueru, I'm here to play with you."

As soon as he entered the silk shop, Qin Han shouted to Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru happily went forward to greet her. This was her future sister-in-law, someone she absolutely could not offend: "Xiao Han is here, come in quickly. Hey, who is this little beauty?"

He Yushui blushed immediately. It was the first time for someone to praise her like this. She whispered hello and said, "Hello, sister. You are really beautiful."

"Come on, sisters, let's go to Quanjude. I'll treat you to roast duck."

Chen Xueru's words immediately drew cheers from Qin Han and He Yushui.
