Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Soon, the group left the airport and got into the two cars prepared by Cao Zhiqiang.

This time, knowing that there are many people, besides the Citroen cx20 that has almost become Cao Zhiqiang's personal car, there is also a Toyota Hiace van.

This van belongs to the second-generation Toyota Hiace, and it is in good condition. It was rented through Zhang Qianjin's relationship.

Obviously, the probably new Citroen cx20, and the probably new second-generation Toyota Hiace still surprised Wu Zemin when he saw these for the first time.

Although Wu Zemin had heard of Cao Zhiqiang's affluence before coming here, but now that he has actually come into contact with them, especially seeing these two imported cars, he realizes that the gap is not as big as usual.

After a final discussion, two young girls, Qing Hong and Xiao Zhen, together with Cao Zhiqiang, boarded Cao Zhiqiang's Citroen CX20, while the others boarded the van behind.

The car drove to Cao Zhiqiang's courtyard house in Houhai, and then they got off together.

Yes, Xia Siming didn't mention it, he would definitely live in the original courtyard.

But Wu Qinghong's family is definitely going to live with Qinghong in the house in Houhai.

Because the courtyard house on the Houhai side is Cao Zhiqiang's ostensible place of residence, at least this is where his new household registration is changed.

Since Wu Qinghong is already Cao Zhiqiang's de facto woman, her girlfriend on the surface, and her girlfriend's family lives here, there is nothing to say.

However, Cao Jiajia and Xia Siming did not get out of the car, but stayed in the car.

According to Cao Jiajia, if she and Xia Siming wanted to go back to live in the old courtyard directly, they would not join in the fun with Wu Zemin and the others, which was troublesome.

Anyway, it will be a long time to come to Japan, and the two places live not far away, and it will not hinder me from walking around in the future.

As for now, let the Wu family reunite together for a while, it's too inappropriate to have her as an outsider.

Of course, this is just Cao Jiajia's words on the scene, and the actual situation is not the case.

In fact, Cao Jiajia now is different from Cao Jiajia in the past.

Because from Cao Jiajia's current point of view, she felt that Wu Qinghong was not good enough for Cao Zhiqiang's younger brother.

The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Jiajia did not know the specific situation of Cao Zhiqiang in the past, and thought he was just an ordinary worker with some money.

With such an identity, it would be fine to find someone like Wu Qinghong.

But during the time he came to the capital, Cao Jiajia already knew about Cao Zhiqiang's status and energy through insinuations and various inquiries.

In addition, it has something to do with her own interests, so Cao Jiajia actually looks down on Wu Qinghong.

She felt that Cao Zhiqiang should find a son of a high-ranking cadre from the capital, or even if he couldn't, at least find a son of a worker from the capital. Only then would he be worthy of Cao Zhiqiang and help Cao Zhiqiang's career.

As for Wu Qinghong, she has nothing, and she relies on Cao Zhiqiang to support her, and if she goes to university, she will not be able to get married for at least four years.

This made Cao Jiajia not very satisfied.

It's fine if Wu Qinghong's family can come.

The key point is that Wu Qinghong's family really won't come.

Cao Jiajia came to the capital, especially after returning to live in the old courtyard house, mother and daughter Zhao Meifen and Wu Qinghong never took the initiative to visit her once.

On the contrary, Cao Jiajia took the initiative to buy things and came to visit Zhao Meifen and Wu Qinghong.

Although he didn't say it, Cao Jiajia was actually a little dissatisfied with this situation.

Of course, if Cao Jiajia has no other goals, although Cao Jiajia is dissatisfied with Wu Qinghong, it will not be so obvious, after all, Cao Zhiqiang likes someone.

But the problem is, Cao Jiajia now has a better candidate for his sister-in-law in his mind.

This person is none other than Yu Yuanyuan!
Speaking of which, it wasn't long before Yu Yuanyuan and Cao Jiajia officially met.

Back then, after Yu Yuanyuan's formal confession to Cao Zhiqiang failed, she seemed to have let go of her mind completely, and instead began to really care about Cao Zhiqiang's family.

For example, the official meeting between Cao Jiajia and Yu Yuanyuan was at Yu Yuanyuan's request and Cao Zhiqiang's arrangement. The meeting place was the Peking Hotel.

Originally, Yu Yuanyuan wanted to meet Wu Qinghong first, but Wu Qinghong retired and returned to Beijing for some reason, so Yu Yuanyuan met Cao Jiajia first, and formally established the relationship between the two.

Yu Yuanyuan not only met Cao Jiajia, but also Cao Zhiqiang's two unrelated younger sisters, Cao Lili and Qiao Simei.

Cao Jiajia is Cao Zhiqiang's elder sister, Yu Yuanyuan is Cao Zhiqiang's god-sister, Cao Lili and Qiao Simi are Cao Zhiqiang's god-sisters, such a combination can barely be considered a family.

Because Yu Yuanyuan is pretty and well-spoken, the family meeting was a joy.

Not only Cao Lili and Qiao Simei fell in love with this god-sister who came out of nowhere, even Cao Jiajia officially recognized Yu Yuanyuan as her younger sister, and everyone usually called each other older sisters.

However, what Cao Zhiqiang didn't know was that soon after that meeting, Yu Yuanyuan visited Cao Jiajia privately again.

That visit was just a private meeting between Yu Yuanyuan and Cao Jiajia, during which they talked a lot.

The two not only talked about things related to Cao Zhiqiang, but also talked about their respective situations.

It was at that time that Cao Jiajia found out that Yu Yuanyuan was not only a nurse at the regular People's Hospital, she was also the secretary of the district chief.

According to Yu Yuanyuan, if you don't want to trouble Cao Zhiqiang if you have anything to do in the capital in the future, you can go to her directly. For ordinary small things, she can still handle them.

For example, if Cao Jiajia wanted to go to the People's Hospital to become a nurse again, it would be up to Yu Yuanyuan's father to say something.

Another example is Cao Jiajia's husband, Xia Siming, who will remarry Cao Jiajia in the future, and then wants to apply for a Beijing hukou, which is also a matter of Yu Yuanyuan's father's words.

Although Cao Zhiqiang can help with these things, it is still good to have multiple friends and multiple paths.

In particular, Yu Yuanyuan was enthusiastic and pleasant to speak. The two had a lot in common. Cao Jiajia immediately regarded Yu Yuanyuan as a confidant.

After that, the two communicated frequently, and gradually became good sisters who talked about everything.

You know, although Cao Jiajia was born in the capital, she hasn't returned to the capital for more than ten years, and the previous relationship has long since disappeared.

Even if the people in the old courtyard house were nice to her, but for various reasons, there was a layer of estrangement inside, which made it difficult for Cao Jiajia to integrate into the big environment of the old courtyard house.

Therefore, after coming to the capital for so long, Cao Jiajia has actually been very lonely, and has never had a real girlfriend or friend.

The appearance of Yu Yuanyuan just filled this gap.

It can be said that the relationship between Cao Jiajia and Yu Yuanyuan has developed by leaps and bounds without Cao Zhiqiang knowing it, and the two parties are already good girlfriends.

That is to say, after the two became official good sisters, Cao Jiajia gradually learned more about it.

For example, how Cao Zhiqiang pursued Yu Yuanyuan at the beginning, why Yu Yuanyuan didn't accept it because of fear, and what happened later. In the end, the two regretted not being together, and could only continue to be god-sister and god-brother.

From Yu Yuanyuan's mouth, Cao Jiajia knew that Cao Zhiqiang had already taken a fancy to Yu Yuanyuan before he met Wu Qinghong, and he chased her more than Yuanyuan.

It's just that Yu Yuanyuan was frustrated here, and then went to Guizhou, and met Wu Qinghong.

It was only after hearing these words that Cao Jiajia came up with an idea, that is, she felt that Wu Qinghong was actually Yu Yuanyuan's substitute.

Because no matter how Cao Jiajia looked at it, she felt that Wu Qinghong and Yu Yuanyuan were very similar in many ways.

For example, they are about the same height, have similar skin, have a little similar looks, and even have similar personalities, all of whom are shy and introverted.

Of course, Cao Jiajia was thinking too much.

But this is also normal. After all, when a person looks at another person very pleasingly, he always subconsciously thinks about that person.

For example, Cao Jiajia, she now sees Yu Yuanyuan as pleasing to the eye, and then wants Yu Yuanyuan to become her sister-in-law more and more.

In Cao Jiajia's view, there are many benefits to making Yu Yuanyuan her sister-in-law.

First of all, Yu Yuanyuan has a household registration in the capital, a technical secondary school education, and the status of a cadre. At this time, she can be considered a highly educated talent.

Secondly, Yu Yuanyuan has a formal job as a nurse in a hospital.

Third, Yu Yuanyuan's father is the secretary of the district chief, and it is said that he will soon become the director, so he will definitely have a lot of power.

Fourth, Yu Yuanyuan is kind-hearted and will come to trouble, and she also knows how to love others. If she is with her brother, she can take good care of her brother.

On the contrary, Cao Jiajia thinks that compared with Yu Yuanyuan, Wu Qinghong can't do anything anywhere.

Not to mention people in remote areas, but it doesn't matter, the key is that Wu Qinghong's family is not good.

Wu Qinghong's parents are ordinary workers, with no power or status, and of course no money.

In addition, Wu Qinghong has a younger brother. If she really marries Cao Zhiqiang in the future, it will be troublesome.

The meaning of this trouble is that Wu Qinghong's family members are all open-mouthed, and they will want to benefit from Cao Zhiqiang in the future, and they will become her Cao Jiajia's competitors in disguise.

The most important thing is Wu Qinghong herself.

Wu Qinghong may not be very good at taking care of others because of her young age. Anyway, in Cao Jiajia's eyes, Cao Zhiqiang has always been taking care of Wu Qinghong in various ways, but Wu Qinghong didn't take much care of Cao Zhiqiang.

This is of course not true. After all, when Wu Qinghong lived with Cao Zhiqiang in private, Cao Jiajia was not watching. Of course, I don’t know how well Wu Qinghong took care of Cao Zhiqiang in private.

On the contrary, what Cao Jiajia saw was Cao Zhiqiang's various concerns and money for Wu Qinghong. Wu Qinghong knew how to enjoy and accept it, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

To put it bluntly, Cao Jiajia was a little jealous of Wu Qinghong.

Cao Jiajia, as Cao Zhiqiang's older sister, only inherited the east wing of the west courtyard from her parents. As for the other houses in the west courtyard, although Cao Jiajia lived in them for the time being, the property rights still belonged to Cao Zhiqiang himself.

In other words, although Cao Jiajia has real estate in the capital, she inherited the small house from her parents.

But Wu Qinghong lives in this courtyard house by herself, and it is said that Cao Zhiqiang will give her that courtyard house as soon as Qinghong graduates from university.

This treatment is simply too far away.

Cao Jiajia didn't think much about it before, but now it's such a comparison, it's no wonder that she likes Wu Qinghong.

Yu Yuanyuan is different.

The relationship between Yu Yuanyuan and Cao Jiajia is very good now, the two sides often communicate, and even Yu Yuanyuan often helps Cao Jiajia pick up and drop off the children, and Yu Yuanyuan often helps tutor the two children's homework.

It can be said that since getting to know Yu Yuanyuan, Cao Jiajia has less to worry about housework, thanks to Yu Yuanyuan, a good sister.

In this way, the balance in Cao Jiajia's heart gradually began to favor Yuanyuan.

Obviously, Yu Yuanyuan is taking the sister route, and she wants to deal with Cao Zhiqiang's sister in a detour first, and then go back to confront Cao Zhiqiang head-on.

It's just that Yu Yuanyuan's devious tactics are very ingenious, and Yu Yuanyuan's temperament is so powerfully deceptive that no one has discovered Yu Yuanyuan's real intentions in doing so.

As a result, no matter whether it was Cao Jiajia, Cao Zhiqiang, or even Yu Yuanyuan's sister Yu Fangfang, they all thought that Yu Yuanyuan and Cao Jiajia really hit it off, and that they were more like sisters than sisters.

In fact, Yu Fangfang was jealous of this, saying that her own sister had a better relationship with other sisters than her own sister.

In this regard, Yu Yuanyuan just smiled and did not explain anything.

Among all the people, probably only Yu Yuanyuan's own mother has seen some clues, but even if she really sees through, she will never say it.

On the contrary, Yu Yuanyuan's mother, Yao Guiying, was very happy to see Yuanyuan's enlightenment.

Because Yao Guiying also has a good impression of Cao Zhiqiang now, and also thinks that this is the best candidate to be a son-in-law, no matter what.

In short, under the subtle influence of Yu Yuanyuan, Cao Jiajia gradually felt that if Yu Yuanyuan and her younger brother became a family, it would be the best choice for her younger brother as well as for herself.

On the contrary, Wu Qinghong, it depends on her family's usual behavior, if she really becomes a family with Cao Zhiqiang, it is estimated that she will become farther and farther away from Cao Jiajia's family.

Prejudice is formed little by little like this, and Cao Jiajia is no exception.

Anyway, the current Cao Jiajia is no longer the Cao Jiajia who was particularly enthusiastic about Wu Qinghong and Zhao Meifen before.

On the contrary, the current Cao Jiajia is focused on matching Cao Zhiqiang and Yu Yuanyuan, but she dislikes Wu Qinghong in various ways.

Now this kind of way of going to someone's house without getting out of the car, but insisting on staying in the car and insisting on taking Xia Siming home first, is the concrete manifestation of Cao Jiajia's thinking.

"All right, sister." Cao Zhiqiang, who didn't know anything about it, thought it was nothing, but felt that Cao Jiajia's approach was very good.

Because Cao Zhiqiang didn't want his eldest sister to join in the fun.

After all, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, Wu Qinghong's parents are similar to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It would be really embarrassing for the elder sister Cao Jiajia to get involved at this time.

"Then go back and rest early." Cao Zhiqiang said to Cao Jiajia, "Have a good chat with my brother-in-law, and I'll look for you later."

"Okay." Cao Jiajia nodded with a smile, "Then entertain them well, let's go first."

Speaking of this, Cao Jiajia asked the driver to drive.

After Cao Jiajia and Xia Siming left by car, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and returned to the courtyard, facing Wu Zemin, the most difficult guy.

Cao Zhiqiang knew in his heart that only when Wu Zemin's problem was resolved, the matter between him and Wu Qinghong would be smooth.

Otherwise, if Wu Zemin always disagrees, then even if the matter between him and Wu Qinghong can be accomplished, he is bound to have regrets.

Although Wu Zemin is difficult to deal with, Cao Zhiqiang has the confidence to solve him.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is well aware of Wu Zemin's weakness, which is his desire to return to Shanghai.

As long as Wu Zemin's job transfer problem can be resolved, and Wu Zemin realizes that Qinghong will have a good life with him.

Then Cao Zhiqiang believed that Wu Zemin would definitely accept him.

It's not him, Cao Zhiqiang.

So far, I am afraid that Wu Zemin will not be able to find a better future son-in-law than Cao Zhiqiang.

Not to mention, Wu Qinghong is already one of his Cao Zhiqiang's people, and at this moment, it is his Wu family who are at a disadvantage.

So, as long as you have a better attitude and give Wu Zemin a little guarantee to deal with this future father-in-law, is it still difficult?
Alas, so the so-called difficult father-in-law is only because you are not strong enough.

If you are strong enough, there is no difficulty in handling Yue Zhang, just level A head-on and go there.

This is called real strength crushing!
