Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"Okay! You just need to arrange the reception when the time comes. I will cook for myself, so I won't have time to take care of other things."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement and changed the subject, "You have looked around, what do you think of this house?"

Chen Xueru took He Yuzhu's hand, and the two walked slowly towards the north room.

"Very good. This house is even bigger than the yard in front of it. It is more comfortable after the renovation."

The two of them walked into the living room while chatting and laughing. He Yuzhu laughed after listening to her.

"In the past, the people who lived here were either rich or noble. This house belonged to the nobles of the previous dynasty, so of course it's different."

Chen Xueru looked around, carefully examined the furnishings in the room, and sat elegantly on the chair.

"Oh, but then again, such a big yard is empty, it feels a bit lonely."

"What you said is a problem." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, frowning slightly.

With such a large three-courtyard house, even if Feng Liping is included, there are only four people in the He family. There are only two siblings in the He family. Chen Xueru will not come to the old city and live in her son-in-law's house.

It is not good to let others live in your own house. After all, the purpose of a private house is to live comfortably with your family.

In addition to these, the safety of the house is also a problem, and even the central courtyard is not fully occupied.

He Yuzhu suddenly felt a headache. He had only thought about taking over the house at the beginning and had not considered these things.

Seeing that He Yuzhu took what she said seriously, Chen Xueru was secretly happy and couldn't help but smile.

She held her chin with her hand, looked at him sideways, her eyes full of tenderness.

But seeing his frown, she came to her senses and immediately knew what he was worried about.

"Brother Zhuzi, why do you think so much? The furniture that has been moved in is piled up in the back house in the front yard. Who else could come in and steal this?"

He Yuzhu turned his head to look at Chen Xueru, and thought to himself that it was true that he was just a cook on the surface and did not deserve any special care.

With He Yuzhu in the yard, there is no need to be afraid of ordinary petty thieves.

Nowadays, the joint prevention and control in the city is becoming more and more strict. This place is close to the public security organs, and the safety has been greatly improved.

He Yuzhu patted the armrest and grinned: "Look at me, I almost lost my sight. Xueru, you see clearly."

Chen Xueru was very pleased with his compliments. She smiled broadly and waved her hand modestly: "It's just so-so!"

She thought about Wang Yayan's relatives, and the smile on her face gradually faded. "By the way, shall we go find Aunt Wang now?"

He Yuzhu shook his head when he heard this: "It's better not to tell her this news for now. It will only take a few days. Let's wait until she arrives."

Chen Xueru understood what he meant. There was really no need for her to worry about gains and losses these days.

When people arrive in Sijiu City, just let them meet directly.

He Yuzhu stood up and walked to Chen Xueru's side: "Let's go! Let's ask someone to clean up the place, then we can move in."

As he said this, he handed the key chain to Chen Xueru, ready to let her be the head of the family.

Chen Xueru looked up, their eyes met, and she understood what he meant. She poutyed and happily took the key.

Fortunately, we moved into the new house two days in advance, and it rained heavily the next day.

It was sunny after the rain, but the moisture in the air had not yet completely dissipated. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, which was refreshing.

Early in the morning on the weekend, He Yuzhu went out for a stroll on his bike under the pretext of something and brought back a lot of fresh ingredients.

As the sky gradually brightened, Feng Liping got up and went to the middle courtyard, where she saw He Yuzhu cleaning the food.

"Xiao He, let me help you."

He Yuzhu heard the voices and turned around and said with a smile: "Mrs. Feng, thank you for your hard work! It's a bit too much today, please help me."

Feng Liping waved her hand and walked towards the sink without stopping: "Can you handle it by yourself today? Do you want me to help you in the kitchen?"

He Yuzhu kept moving his hands and shook his head to refuse: "No, Aunt Feng, my two junior brothers will come to help later. You should go and help Xueru entertain the guests."

Hearing that he had help, Feng Liping nodded with relief.

Looking at the amount of chicken, duck, fish and meat, she estimated that there would be two or three tables of guests today, and she was worried that He Yuzhu would be too busy to handle it.

Not long after, two figures appeared from the other side of the Chuihua Gate.

"Brother He, we are here!"

He Yuzhu looked up and saw Dong Weiming and Dai Yuanlin. He shook the water off his hands and waved: "Okay, come over here!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Feng Liping, "Auntie Feng, go and help prepare the cakes and tea! We'll take care of the kitchen."

Feng Liping withdrew her gaze from the two of them and nodded gently: "Okay, I'm good at this."

When the aroma of food began to waft through the yard, the first wave of guests arrived.

"Master, Sister Tong! You two are here! Welcome, welcome!"

Chen Xueru looked at the two people riding bicycles coming from the alley and walked down the steps to greet them enthusiastically.

Ma Changyu stopped his bicycle and looked at the gate of the new house with satisfaction. He was an old hand and could tell the foundation at a glance.

"Xue Ru, this house is nice, and the craftsmanship of the master you found is also very good."

Chen Xueru bowed and smiled, "Master, you have sharp eyes. But why did you come here on a bicycle?"

Tong Lanfang chuckled and said to Chen Xueru, "The old man specially confiscated your brother's bike and insisted on riding it here."

At this time, Ma Shengzhao was sitting in the office and suddenly sneezed.

He is very busy at work and it is rare for him to have a day off. Unfortunately, he has something else to do today and cannot come to the party.

He knew clearly that Ma Changyu favored He Yuzhu, and his absence might make the old man somewhat unhappy.

Now, his bicycle was confiscated and he had to walk to work.

Ma Changyu, who was at the front, heard this and looked pleased: "I'm in good health. It's not far. I can just ride a bike. What's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Xueru smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are still as skilled as ever!"

"Grandpa, let's go in first! It's not a good idea to stand here." Tong Lanfang interrupted when she saw this.

Ma Changyu nodded in agreement and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

He pushed his bicycle and walked inside with big strides.

Chen Xueru and Tong Lanfang smiled at each other and followed closely.

He is just an old child. Just go along with his temper.

The three of them came to the living room in the north room, where the tables and chairs had already been set up.

There was tea and pastries on the table, all of which were prepared by Feng Liping.

Chen Xueru invited the two to take a seat and poured them tea: "Master, Sister Tong, please have a sip of tea first. I apologize for the poor hospitality today."

Tong Lanfang looked around, sized up the furnishings, and waved her hand: "Xueru, go and do your thing. We'll just walk around the yard later."

"Okay, please do as you please." Chen Xueru smiled and left the living room, ready to greet the next guests.
