Siheyuan: Silly Zhu is not my father

Chapter 306 Moving out of the courtyard (two chapters in one)

As soon as he entered the study, He Xiao immediately looked at it.

In front of the window on the south side of the room, there is a large desk surrounded by bookshelves.

But now the bookshelf is a little empty, and there are no books on it.

He stepped forward and stroked the bookshelf lightly, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

"I wanted to buy some books and put them on display. I'm afraid you don't like them, so I didn't buy them."

He Xiao looked back at Tang Yanling, feeling even more surprised.

He hadn't seen Tang Yanling for only half a month, and he felt like he didn't know Tang Yanling anymore. Let her go to study later, maybe she could become the second Lou Xiao'e in the future.

"By the way, what materials are these wooden furniture made of?"

He Xiao lowered his head and took a closer look, feeling that the desk was not as good as the one in his courtyard.

When he asked Lou Xiao'e to use huanghuali furniture, he didn't know if she listened or not.

"It should be rosewood, right? I don't know much about it either."

"Yes, it seems that I have to move the huanghuali furniture from my courtyard."

He Xiao shook his head, feeling a little regretful.

Not only does he need to move the huanghuali furniture in the courtyard, but he plans to collect some wood and make a new set himself, so that he can live comfortably.

"squeak……"

He Xiao was thinking about something when he heard a sound behind him.

Looking back, Tang Yanling pushed open the bookshelf at the bottom of the east wall, revealing a one-meter-high iron gate.

Tang Yanling skillfully took out the key, opened the door to the basement, and then turned her head and waved.

"He Xiao, come here quickly. From now on, you can store your things in the basement down here. It will be safe."

He Xiao opened his mouth, almost dumbfounded.

This basement is really secret, most people really can't find it.

Hey, if you live in this alley, you don’t have to worry about thieves. The courtyard next door is half a state unit and half a residence of a big man. Thieves won’t be so short-sighted and dare to come here to steal things.

Shaking his head, he walked over quickly.

Grabbing Tang Yanling's hand, he said with a smile, "Good sister, you already know about such a secret basement, what do you think I should do?"

"Hmph, you can figure it out yourself."

"Hey, that's what you said."

He Xiao was amused, he hugged Tang Yanling, moved his hands up and down, using both hands and mouth.

Tang Yanling was still wearing the professional attire in the restaurant, he was so rare.

"Hey, don't make trouble, let's talk about business. The baby in your tricycle hasn't moved here yet."

The two were sticky, turned a corner, and entered the basement.

When Tang Yanling turned on the light, He Xiao narrowed his eyes and took a careful look.

The basement here is really not small, almost bigger than the study.

But now there is nothing inside, except for a few wooden shelves, it looks empty.

After looking carefully, he also found several ventilated places, and it is no problem to store things in this place.

"Why did you dig so big? It won't hollow out the bottom of the house, right?"

He Xiao looked up at the concrete roof, still worried that if it collapsed, he and Tang Yanling would be doomed.

"The courtyard above has been waterproofed and reinforced."

Hearing what Tang Yanling said, he felt relieved.

He kissed the woman in his arms hard, and said with a smile: "Come on, follow me to move things in."

A little anxious in his heart, he strode out.

Together with Tang Yanling, he moved the bronze chimes to the basement, and he packed up the bottles and jars.

He took the small blue and white vase and placed it on the desk.

He also put up the wooden carvings, bamboo tubes and inkstones from the Qing Dynasty, and he took all the rest to the basement.

After finishing his work, he followed Tang Yanling's instructions, closed the iron door of the basement, and then pushed the bookshelf over.

"It's over."

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, He Xiao turned and looked at Tang Yanling.

Walking slowly to her side, He Xiao grabbed her hand, "Good sister, I finished reading the guest room and study, let's go to the bedroom next, I can't wait."

"Don't make trouble, this is the key to the basement. Now there is one in the chairman's hand, and there is nothing else."

Tang Yanling blushed and took out the key, and stuffed it into He Xiao's hand.

"The restaurant is busy, you rest first, I'm going to find the chairman."

After speaking, Tang Yanling turned around and was about to leave.

"stop!"

"Who knows if you have hidden keys, stand there and let me search."

"What? He Xiao, you doubt me?"

Tang Yanling turned around and looked at He Xiao in disbelief, feeling extremely wronged in her heart.

In the past half month, she studied every day until the early hours of the morning.

She treats Lou Xiao'e like her own mother, just to let Lou Xiao'e not dislike her identity, so that she can be with the little man.

But He Xiao, unexpectedly... actually...

Just when she was about to cry, she saw He Xiao's hand touching her chest.

"Good sister, I haven't seen you for half a month, don't leave, I miss you to death."

Tang Yanling was taken aback for a moment, but then she came to her senses.

"You little bastard, you can tease me and scare me."

Tang Yanling laughed through tears, and punched He Xiao with clenched fists.

This bastard, she almost died of pain just now.

"Hey, what are you doing? You put me down."

He Xiao picked up Tang Yanling and strode towards the bedroom.

When he arrived in the room, he looked around, and then threw his good sister onto the big bed in the room.

After drawing the curtains, he was about to pounce on Tang Yanling when he heard Tang Yanling shout, "You have an air conditioner in your room, please plug in the air conditioner."

"air conditioner?"

He Xiao was stunned for a moment, he looked up, and sure enough, he found a white machine on the top window.

The air conditioner in this era is very special, called window air conditioner.

This thing can only be installed on doors and windows, which is shading, noisy, and consumes electricity.

But being able to use the air conditioner in the summer is enough to be happy, and all these shortcomings are not a problem.

He Xiao stepped forward quickly and plugged in the air conditioner.

Hearing the humming of the machine, he took off his shirt and threw himself on the bed.

Seeing Tang Yanling still wanted to run, he directly pulled her into his arms.

"Hey, wait until I take off my clothes."

Tang Yanling was lying on the bed in large characters, and she didn't bother to resist.

Seeing the anxious look of the little man, she wanted to take off her clothes.

"No, no, I just like you this way."

He Xiao held her hand and lowered his head.

……

The air conditioner was humming. He Xiao lay on the bed and slept comfortably all afternoon.

When he woke up again, he found that he was alone on the bed.

Yawning, he put on his shorts and walked out into the yard.

Looking at the east and west rooms one by one, he finally found the toilet and bathroom in the south room of the west room.

Going back to the north room to get a towel, he went to the bathroom and washed himself well.

By the time he finished his busy work, it was almost dark.

After changing into his own clothes, he turned and went to the west courtyard.

"Meow, meow."

"Huh? Where did the cat come from?"

As soon as He Xiao entered the west courtyard, he heard a few meowing cats.

He looked around, but he didn't find the kitten, but he saw Tang Yanling holding a small bowl, standing under the toon tree and shouting.

"Mimi, come here, come here quickly, I have something delicious here."

He Xiao walked over curiously, followed Tang Yanling's gaze, and looked up at the toon tree.

Well, the trees were dark and he couldn't see anything.

"Where's the cat?"

Tang Yanling pointed, "There is a black cat on that tree branch. I don't know who raised it. I have seen it often in the past half month."

He Xiao squinted his eyes and searched carefully, and sure enough, on the branch of the tree, he saw two eyes glowing green.

Shaking his head, he took two steps towards Tang Yanling.

Sniffing and sniffing, he caught a scent of shampoo.

"Why did you wake up so early and didn't call me? By the way, go to sleep in my room at night."

"Don't make trouble, the chairman is in the room."

Tang Yanling was a little embarrassed, seeing Aunt Qin coming out from the north room, she quickly pushed He Xiao out.

"Master, madam told you to go in."

He Xiao was taken aback for a moment, he coughed a few times, and then hurriedly walked to the north room.

When he passed Aunt Qin, he paused, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Mom, did you call me?"

"He Xiao, are you planning to move here? Let me tell you, you are still growing, so don't keep approaching Xiao Tang."

Lou Xiao'e took a look at her son with disgust on her face.

To be honest, she didn't want her son to move here.

"Cough cough."

He Xiao was very embarrassed, he opened his mouth and didn't know how to reply.

Stretching to Lou Xiaoe's side, he sat down on his buttocks.

Thinking of what Han Chunming said in the morning, he quickly changed the subject and told Lou Xiaoe about the sale of paintings in the museum.

"What do you think? Want to buy it?"

He Xiao nodded, "Mom, the mainland doesn't even know the value of these modern paintings. If we buy them and sell them in Xiangjiang, we can earn a fortune."

"But it's not necessary, I want to buy the collection."

He Xiao seems to have heard in his previous life that there was a Xiangjiang native who made his fortune by buying thousands of modern paintings by picking up a leak.

Maybe it's this batch of paintings, but don't miss them.

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."

Lou Xiaoe thought for a while, then nodded.

She really saw some modern paintings in Xiangjiang, which were much more expensive than those sold in the mainland.

She also learned traditional Chinese painting when she was a child, and it is good to buy it for collection. My house can't be full of copper stench.

Glancing at Tang Yanling outside, Lou Xiaoe suddenly thought of something.

"Mom, I heard from my friend that there are thousands of paintings for sale in the museum, so the money for the paintings..."

He Xiao was a little embarrassed. He only had more than 3 yuan in his hand, which was not enough to buy these paintings.

"How much do you need?"

"One or two million, it should be enough."

"Okay, if you have a good deal, come to the restaurant to get it."

He Xiao was overjoyed, as long as Lou Xiao'e supported him.

With this batch of paintings, he has confidence in his heart, and he doesn't have to be timid in doing things in the future. At worst, he will rely on these paintings for his retirement.

"Son, call Tang Yanling over, let's have a meal together."

He Xiaomei stood up happily and walked out quickly.

In the yard, Tang Yanling was feeding the cat with a small bowl.

This time, He Xiao saw the appearance of the cat clearly, it was all black, and only his eyes glowed like black charcoal.

"Meow."

Sensing someone approaching, the black cat scrambled to the tree.

He Xiao approached and looked around, but couldn't see where the black cat had gone.

Shaking his head, he called Tang Yanling, and the two returned to the north room.

After dinner, He Xiao didn't go back to the courtyard, but went directly to Dongkua courtyard, where he planned to sleep here in the future.

……

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Come in."

When He Xiao saw someone coming, he hurriedly got up.

Pulling him into his arms, he hugged and rubbed vigorously, then he lay down in Tang Yanling's arms and closed his eyes.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Why are you here? Did you miss me again?"

"Bah, I don't want to. The chairman asked me to come and ask you what you want for breakfast."

He Xiao opened his eyes, seeing that Tang Yanling didn't seem to be lying, he felt a little puzzled.

He is not particular about food, but Lou Xiao'e has never asked him such a thing.

"Could it be that she misses her grandson and granddaughter? Isn't it too early?" He Xiao muttered to himself.

"He Xiao, what are you talking about?"

Tang Yanling regained her spirits, and she immediately leaned into the little man's arms.

"Nothing, let's go to sleep."

He Xiao yawned, feeling a little sleepy.

After turning off the light, he hugged Tang Yanling and lay down.

The air in the room was humming, and it felt a little cold. He pulled the blanket up, and just as he was about to sleep, he felt the person in his arms move.

"Sleep, sleep, don't make trouble."

This time it was He Xiao's turn to refuse.

But the person in her arms was always dishonest, and after a while, she even climbed up.

He Xiao couldn't help laughing, he pushed Tang Yanling down, and quickly moved to the side.

"He Xiao, let me tell you, I will be busy in the second half of the month, so don't worry about it then."

"Hey, are you threatening me?"

He Xiao couldn't bear it any longer, and crawled over to teach Tang Yanling a lesson.

……

Early the next morning, He Xiao woke up, touched his side, but found nothing.

Can't help but sigh, now Tang Yanling is busier than him.

Getting up and walking to the yard, he stretched a lot.

"Master, the meal is ready."

He Xiao nodded, he went to wash up, and then went back to the living room.

After eating, he took the bus and went back to the courtyard.

He opened the satchel, put some money in it, and then rode a small Suzuki to the entrance of the street.

It was just eight o'clock, which was quite early. He looked around, but Han Chunming was nowhere to be seen.

Shaking his head, he turned and went to the shop to take a look.

The business of the video hall is very good, there are quite a lot of customers in it, about [-]% of them are seated.

The fried chicken shop outside was a bit poor, few people were eating it, but it was normal early in the morning.

After saying hello to Qin Jingru, he turned and walked out.

After standing on the side of the road and waiting for a while, He Xiao finally saw Han Chunming's figure.

Squinting his eyes, he saw a young woman in Han Chunming's back seat.

After thinking about it, he still had an impression in his mind that this woman should be Lu Fangfang from the cultural relics store.

"Hey, it's all covered, Han Chunming is really good enough."

To be honest, He Xiao was a little envious, Han Chunming really attracted women.

Besides this Lu Fangfang, he remembered that Han Chunming seemed to have another beauty named Cai Xiaoli, but it was a pity that Han Chunming kept thinking about Su Meng, and his fate was completely delayed.

"Couldn't this Lu Fangfang be hot with a shaved head too?"

He Xiao shook his head, feeling sorry for her.
