Chapter 517 Arriving Home
They each washed their faces before returning to the carriage. Since Shen Weimin had no intention of meeting each other, or getting to know the Cheng Gang in the carriage, Xu Changqing would naturally not be troublesome.

Anyway, in the "dream", the affairs of the Cheng family were very complicated, so complicated that she even suspected that Grandpa Cheng, who was born as an orphan, might be Mrs. Shen's youngest brother.

Of course, this is not possible.

One used to be the young master anyway, and the other was a beggar adopted by Mrs. Shen, and it wasn't a newborn baby who could be dropped.

It's just a coincidence that Grandpa Cheng, the little beggar who was adopted back then, also happened to have the fox eyes of the Cheng family, and was adopted by Mrs. Shen by coincidence.

On the way to the car, Shen Weimin and Bai Chenggang had a good chat with this Cheng Gang, and Xu Changqing didn't bother to get involved in the chatter.

There are some things that Brother Shen can pretend to be ignorant of, but with his temperament, if there is any doubt, he will be blamed if he doesn't find out first.

Xu Changqing is still very supportive of this style of behavior. "Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." At any time, the heart of defense must not be lost.

With Shen Weimin's ability, Xu Changqing also believed that he was the Cheng family's affairs, no matter how complicated they were, he could handle them, but she didn't need to analyze them carefully.

Instead of listening to the three of them chatting and analyzing, she might as well take stock of what she has on hand before she arrives in the capital.

It's like paying off a debt.This trip to Beijing, the [-] owed and the five small yellow croakers can be repaid.After repaying, the rest is the savings of the two of them.

Among the savings of these two people, part of it came from the red envelopes given by their parents and relatives, as well as the rewards given by the public for their admission to the college entrance examination.

Except for the bills, Xu Changqing didn't want to use this part of the money.Then the remaining 1 until today, minus the bills, still have about [-] yuan in cash.

She wanted to spend the cash flow of around 1 yuan.It's just that the debt has just been paid off in a short period of time, so it is not suitable for buying a house again. What can it be used for?
The time passed unknowingly while Xu Changqing was alone silently planning how to arrange the liquid cash in his hand more reasonably, and thinking about what to do and what to lose.

Beijing Railway Station.

Not surprisingly, even though Shen Weimin repeatedly asked He Liping not to pick him up if he had to go to work today, he still waited a long time early.

Why do you say wait for a long time?
Xu Changqing saw snowflakes on He Liping's hat and military coat.Fortunately, it arrived in the afternoon. What if the train was delayed and arrived in the dark.

Shen Weimin beside him didn't wait to carry his luggage down first. As soon as the train stopped, the steward just opened the door of one side of the carriage, and he ran out of the car by himself and hugged He Liping.

When they got up and entered the carriage again, Xu Changqing's hands were itchy, and he really wanted to wipe off the snowflakes that were about to fuse on her body, but it was a pity that she called her little one again as soon as she came up.

With this shout, she immediately wanted to take back the dry towel she handed over!Damn she deserves to be frozen, she's so young, not so small! "It's almost 1.7 meters tall!"

He Liping was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing, and quickly grabbed the dry towel in his hand, wiped it carelessly, and joked: "It's terrible, you will grow up if you get the first prize in the exam."

Xu Changqing laughed.

"Gangzi?" He Liping said as he threw back the dry towel, then nodded towards Bai Chenggang who was carrying his luggage and stood up, "Yeah, I've grown taller too, and I've grown into a young man."

Even though it's been a long time since we saw each other, Bai Chenggang still remembers He Liping's accent, so he grinned happily and replied, "Brother Heping, you are still the same."

"Really, brother is still young?"

"That's right! You're with him, Shen San, and he's grown older. It's not like you, let alone ten years, and you haven't seen any wrinkles in five years!"

"Good boy, are you still wrinkled?" He Liping smiled and shook his head, urging everyone to help get off the luggage first, and wait until they got to the place before chatting.

The small courtyard house under Xu Changqing's name is not far from the train station. When we got to the place, we could see a big change inside before we passed the screen wall after entering the gate.

The original small kitchens and small warehouses that were built against the regulations have been demolished. If you haven't been here before, you really can't see any traces.

The three inverted rooms next to the gate in the southeast corner have neat doors and windows, and they have been painted with new paint. The red pillars and green windows have restored the original appearance of the courtyard.

Bypassing the screen wall, the goal is still the brand-new red pillars and green windows, which look even more antique against the background of blue tiles and gray walls. The key is that there are more fish tanks in the courtyard.

Go up the steps and step into the three main rooms, one bright and two dark. The furniture reserved before has been placed here, and even the wires and light bulbs have been buried and modified.

Go to the kitchen again.

The kitchen is very large, and a small boiler is installed in it. It is supposed that the heating radiators in the room are supplied by this boiler.

In addition, there is an earthen stove with two large iron pots, one large and one small, near the wall on one side, and there is a gas stove not far from a pool.

Now the capital has begun to use gas stoves, but gas is very expensive and limited, and not many people use it, but there is no doubt that gas stoves are the most convenient.

At this moment, Xu Changqing took advantage of the time when Shen Weimin and others moved the luggage and items they had brought to the main room and began to tidy up. She first took a few pieces of charcoal from the stove of the boiler.

After igniting the firewood on the inner rack of the earthen stove, she added water to the pot to heat up the pot, and then she went to eat the big and small bags she brought and started preparing for dinner.

Dry food such as steamed buns and sticky bean buns can be steamed directly in the large iron pot of the earthen stove, and there are several cooking dishes that need to be prepared using a gas stove.

This is perfect for stir-frying. Just as they are cooking a dish, the few of them can have a drink first, and then have a hot staple food.

Logically speaking, since they had just arrived in the capital, they should go to the courtyard to meet Uncle He and his wife tonight, but Aunt He is very considerate.

This man asked his old son to pick him up at the station, and he said that they were tired from traveling and horses, so they stayed at home and waited until Saturday night before leaving.

Having said that, it seems that tonight's welcome banquet is missing, but the rice grains, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar that should be in this kitchen have already been properly prepared for them.

Even in the vegetable cellar in the yard that she hadn't had time to look at, according to He Liping, Aunt Li of the He family had prepared a large cart of cabbage and put it in last winter.

It can be said that not only Li Yuanchao and others have helped find the building materials that are in short supply in the market since they bought this courtyard house and planned to live in it themselves, even the He family?

First, He Liping personally supervised the reconstruction, and then even Aunt He and Aunt Li, the housekeeping staff at home, helped them arrange everything inside and out.

This favor owes...
