The three sons of Liu Haizhong saw that the Yan family in the front yard had sold the quadrangle house and immediately filled the financial hole. They decided to do the same!

But no one was interested in the old house in the courtyard. Even if someone wanted to buy it, the price was very low. The three sons had no choice but to force Liu Haizhong to ask Tan Yali for help.

This Tan Yali is simply a goody-goody! The house has been sold to her, but she actually let Yan Bugui and his wife rent it. The old Yan family can do this, so my family has the same request.

Tan Yali also bought the east wing in the backyard. The children of the family in the east hall wanted to take in an old lady to live with them, so they also sold the house to Tan Yali.

"I'm thinking of buying the entire courtyard house when I have the chance. It doesn't cost much money. When it is renovated like Prince Fu's Palace, you will definitely find it useful in the future." Tan Yali patted her granddaughter's hand and explained to her.

What could Jingyi say? As long as grandma was happy, it didn't matter if she spent a little money. Now that the property certificate was in her hands, no matter how much trouble the outside world made, it would be useless.

At 5pm, He Daqing prepared a table of Tan family's special dishes, and the family began to eat the reunion dinner. Seeing He Daqing diligently serving Tan Yali the dishes she loved since childhood, the two of them were having a great time, and Jingyi sincerely wished them a happy old age.

After the reunion dinner, grandma said she wanted to go back to the courtyard, but Jingyi refused to let them stay overnight, so she had to let Le Mingxuan drive them back.

Jingyi hugged her three-year-old brother Le Qiying and sat in the living room with her mother to watch TV. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala started on time.

This year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala was directed by Director Huang. He invited Zhang Mingmin again this year. Zhang Mingmin has now attended three CCTV Spring Festival Galas, the same number as Jingyi. The singer from Taiwan invited this year is Ling Feng.

At the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala, Hang Tianqi and Tu Honggang sang the Spring Festival Gala theme song "A Thousand Colors". Nowadays, singers in the mainland are constantly innovating, and Jingyi looks unfamiliar to everyone.

This year, the skit "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor" performed by Wei Wei, Song Zuying, Zhu Shimao and Chen Xiaoer also appeared, which still made Jingyi laugh heartily.

Zhang Mingmin went on stage to sing "Dedicate the Sincerity and Love in My Heart" and "We Love This Mistake". Now his halo is gradually fading, and the tastes of mainland audiences are also changing.

Director Huang also called her last year, but she was filming a movie in Luoping, Yunnan at that time, so she had to miss this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala!

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Jingyi was still lying in bed, but Xiaodang and Zhang Tao came to Lou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings. They spent New Year's Eve in the courtyard with Qin Huairu, and heard Tan Yali come back to say that Jingyi was in Sijiu City, so they came to visit early in the morning.

Jingyi had no choice but to get up and go downstairs to meet the guests. Since the two of them came to work at the hotel in Sijiu City, Jingyi's contact with them has become less and less. Holidays like the Chinese New Year are when they don't get together much.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Yushui and his wife came with their two children to pay New Year's greetings. This was the first time Jingyi met her husband, who was already the deputy director of a police station in Sijiu City. Since he, a public servant, lived in the courtyard, there were fewer trivial matters between neighbors.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Jingyi returned to Hong Kong and started working again. It took her a week to finish Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and she asked Tingting to go on a business trip to New York, USA, to send her manuscript to Warner Books.

In early March this year, Anita Mui will hold 17 concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Jingyi will be invited to be the guest singer. Jingyi agreed to help at the end of the year and it is already on her schedule.

In May, she will hold a book signing event in London at the invitation of the British publisher. Harry Potter is all the rage in the UK! King's Station, the oldest railway station in London, has specially set up a platform nine and three-quarters for it. It is completely arranged according to the description in the book and has become a tourist attraction.

As Anita Mui's guest on stage, she almost stole the show at her first concert. She had originally prepared two songs, but the fans wouldn't give in. She could only sing one more song, "Thousands of Songs", which took away the band's accompaniment from Anita Mui's Sunset Song.

After Anita Mui's 17th concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Jingyi hadn't had time to catch her breath when director Xu Ke called her and asked her to go out again.

Director Xu Ke came for the third part of A Chinese Ghost Story. Since the male lead was replaced by Liang Chaowei from Zhang Guorong, the audience would not buy it if the female lead was also replaced. So Director Xu Ke invited Jing Yi to join the filming crew.

"I'm going to London, England, to sign books in early May, and it will probably take a week before I can return to Hong Kong," Jingyi revealed to Xu Ke. She couldn't let someone down after agreeing to a trip.

"No conflict! The film won't start shooting until June, and I came here to finalize it with you first. So you have time to arrange your schedule!"

Director Xu Ke was relieved when he saw Jingyi agreed. Last year's "A Chinese Ghost Story" had the support of a world-class actress. Not counting the box office in Southeast Asia and the mainland, the box office in Hong Kong alone reached more than 42 million Hong Kong dollars.

If Jingyi didn't join the third film, the box office performance would plummet and he would be afraid of losing face.

At the end of April, Jingyi went to London with her agent and assistant. The British publisher was going to hold a three-day book signing event at the entrance of the National Library, in St. James's Central Square.

Early in the morning, two long queues formed in St. James's Square in London. One was for people to buy the newly published Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and the other was for people who had already bought the book to wait for the author's signature.

Around nine in the morning, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into St. James's Central Square. Jingyi took Tingting and Molly out of the car and was greeted by the British publisher.

Looking at the readers queuing below, Jingyi took the microphone handed to her by the organizer, began to wave downwards, and simply greeted the readers.

"Good morning, fellow readers in the UK. Thank you for your support of Harry Potter. I am the author Lou Jingyi. I am honored to be here today to sign autographs for you. I hope that fellow readers will always support Harry Potter. Thank you!"

The readers were queuing up and couldn't wait any longer, pushing forward one after another! Security personnel maintained order on the scene, and Jingyi sat down and began to sign autographs for British readers.

While signing, she patiently answered various questions raised by readers. She signed from morning to afternoon, taking a one-hour break at lunch.

After a day of signing, her right hand suddenly became like a chicken claw, and her fingers began to stiffen. Back in the hotel room, Tingting and Molly took turns massaging her right hand.

She signed books for three days at the entrance of the National Library of London, and then moved to Birmingham, the second largest city in England, to continue her book signing work at Chamberlain Square of the Central Library.

After another three days, her right hand no longer belonged to her. When the publisher in England held a dinner to thank her, Jingyi couldn't even hold a knife and fork.
