Siheyuan, my new life

In the evening, the family went to Quanjude to eat roast duck. While eating, Xiaolin Zhou happily told his mother that his eldest brother took him to see his new home today, and the big house was so beautiful.

Xiao Lin Zhou's words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone stared at Lin Yu who was drinking.

Lin Yu smiled and nodded and said, "The house is ready, we can move in anytime."

Lin Nan immediately jumped up from his chair and shouted: "Brother, you are so patient. Why didn't you tell us first?"

Fortunately, Lin Yu asked for a small private room. Even so, a waiter who heard the noise pushed the door open and asked what was going on.

Zhou Xiu first dealt with the waiter and then glared at her daughter: "How old are you this year? Why are you still so jumpy?"

Lin Nan stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and then whispered: "It's all my brother's fault. Who told him not to tell us in advance?"

Zhou Xiu snorted: "If you knew in advance and insisted on going to see the new house, then when could we come over for dinner? Well, let's eat quickly, and we'll go see the new house when we get back later."

In fact, Zhou Xiu herself could not contain her excitement, after all, this was the house where her family would live in the future. To be honest, the west wing where they lived now was a bit cramped, forcing Lin Yu to live in the study. Although she already knew that her son went back to his paradise every day, Zhou Xiu always felt uncomfortable in her heart.

So the family ate dinner in a hurry under Lin Nan's constant urging. Fortunately, when ordering the dishes just now, Lin Yu ordered two extra roast ducks to take back.

Zhou Xiu carried Xiao Lin Zhou into Lin Yu's jeep, and the two cars drove towards Nanluoguxiang.

Zhou Xiu smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, I checked with the Housing Management Department of the Street Office. The house number of the courtyard house you just built is No. 98. Originally, this was also a courtyard house with three entrances. Later, a fire broke out for some unknown reason, and then it was completely abandoned. I have asked the Housing Management Department to prepare the house number, and I will ask them to put it up tomorrow."

Lin Yu smiled as he drove: "Although I have lived in Nanluoguxiang for a while, I only found out not long ago that the house numbers on both sides of the street are not directly connected. The north side of the street is odd numbers, and the south side is all even numbers. In fact, the higher-ups gave me the land for the three courtyard houses, but I think it's useless to build so many houses at once, and people outside who don't know about it will talk about it secretly. I plan to wait a few years until our little Lin Zhou is older and Nan Nan's children go to school, and then build a house for each of them, and this one will be for the two of us to live in."

Zhou Xiu reached out and rubbed the little Lin Zhou in his arms, and said with a smile: "Lin Zhou, did you hear that? Grow up quickly, and your big brother will build you a new house to live in."

Xiao Lin Zhou smiled sweetly and said: "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Brother."

Lin Yu was also amused by this sensible little brother, but he had already arrived at the new house. He had just asked Zhou Hong, who was hidden in the void, to notify everyone here to remove all the mats around.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, with a bright electric light on each side of the gate.

Lin Yu parked the jeep steadily on the bluestone ground outside the back house, and Sun Yong, who was following closely behind him, also stopped beside him.

Lin Yu smiled and said to his mother who was staring blankly at the gate of the courtyard, "Mom, let's go in and take a look." After that, he opened the car door and got out.

Lin Nan had already gotten out of the car and was trotting towards the gate impatiently. When Sun Yong saw Lin Yu, he said in confusion, "Brother, when we went to eat just now, I took a special look over here, and there were still mats here."

Lin Yu was quite satisfied with this observant brother-in-law. His sister seemed a bit carefree, which was a perfect complement. He smiled and said, "I have already said hello in advance. I am planning to come over after we finish our meal."

At this time, Zhou Xiu had already called Huang Ying and walked directly into the gate of the courtyard with Xiao Lin Zhou.

Lin Yu took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and Sun Yong had already taken out a lighter and handed Sun Yong a cigarette. Lin Yu took a puff and then said with a smile: "Let's go in and take a look."

As soon as Lin Yu and Sun Yong walked through the gate, they heard Lin Nan's shouting and Zhou Xiu's scolding coming from the middle courtyard.

At this time, the lights in the front yard, middle yard and back yard were all on. Sun Yong looked at the beautiful courtyard in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother, this quadrangle is too beautiful."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "If you like it, wait a few years and I'll build two more next door as a gift to my nephew and Lin Zhou. I've just told mom that the higher authorities have directly granted me three residential plots nearby. Building three at once is a bit of a bad thing, so let's wait a few years before we decide."

Sun Yong did not refuse, but sincerely thanked his brother-in-law.

When Lin Yu and the others walked into the middle courtyard, Zhou Xiu and the others were visiting the main room in the middle courtyard.

After Lin Yu walked into the main living room, Lin Nan came over and took his eldest brother's arm: "Brother, didn't you tell me to live in the front yard? I just heard from our mother that this is a standard three-in-one courtyard, and the front yard is the back house. Do you have the heart to let your lovely sister live in the back house?"

Lin Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "When I was building the house, I went to Europe and confused it with the courtyard house next door. Later I found out that it was a courtyard house with four entrances. Okay, there are so many houses here, you can pick any one you like."

Zhou Xiu and Huang Ying came over together. Before Lin Nan could speak, Zhou Xiu said directly: "Of course your brother will live in the main house in the middle courtyard. I will live in the east wing, you and Sun Yong will live in the west wing, and Huang Ying and little Lin Zhou will live in the backyard."

Huang Ying quickly refused: "This is not good, I will live in the west wing with Lin Zhou, and you can live in the backyard."

Lin Yu didn't want to care about how they allocated the houses. He walked to the eight-immortals table and touched the teapot on the table. Tea was already brewed in it. Lin Yu directly motioned Sun Yong to sit down, then poured tea for the two of them. While smoking and drinking tea, he waited for the allocation result over there.

Sun Yong asked curiously, "Brother, there is no stove in this room, why is it so warm?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "All the rooms in this quadrangle are equipped with heating, and the boiler room is in the back house in front." Sun Yong was a little surprised: "Heating? Can Beijing still provide heating now?"

Lin Yu smiled and said: "In fact, when the Russians built a bank in what is now Dongjiaominxiang in 1886, they installed heating directly. Now many places in Beijing have heating."
