Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

When they met for the first time, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping had a good impression of Chen Qingming.

This guy is more honest.

According to Chen Qingming himself, he has four brothers and sisters in his family, named Shanmingshuixiu.

He is the second oldest.

There is another eldest brother above him named Chen Qingshan, who is married and has a separate family.

There are two younger sisters below him, named Chen Qingshui and Chen Qingxiu.

One is in his first year of college in his hometown in Tanzhou, and the other is in his third year of high school and will take the college entrance examination next year.

There are grandparents, parents, and mom at home.

Grandpa is a bamboo craftsman and grandma can embroider.

My father was a soldier before. He had been a soldier for more than [-] years. He returned from the army ten years ago and was placed in a supply and marketing cooperative in their county.

My mother is a Chinese teacher in a primary school in the county.

My father is in the army and rarely comes home all year round. Their good academic performance is all due to their mother's supervision.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, I will take Qingming out for a walk."

"Don't wander around too late. Come back early for dinner."

"okay."

"Goodbye, third sister, and goodbye, third brother-in-law."

"Go play."

It was still early, and He Lixia planned to take Chen Qingming out for a walk.

Previously, Chen Qingming said that he had been studying in the Imperial Capital for so long, but he had never visited the Forty-Nine City. He said that when he had time, he must go to the Memorial Hall, the Forbidden City, and the major museums in the Imperial Capital.

It just so happened that there was still plenty of time today. After going out, He Lixia took Chen Qingming to the square. She also asked the third sister to borrow a camera and took a few more photos as souvenirs.

Xu Jingping asked: "Xiao Kun, what do you think?"

Yang Yukun said: "Not bad, wife, what do you think?"

"I think it's not bad. Jingtian, Xiaoxia, what do you think of Lixia's partner?"

Xu Jingtian said: "It's okay, mainly because Fourth Sister likes him. I just hope that he won't let Fourth Sister down in the future."

He Xiaoxia said: "It doesn't count if I say it, it only counts if my parents say it."

"Xiao Xia is right. What we say doesn't matter. It depends on what our parents and aunts and uncles say. Let's not worry about it."

Whether He Lixia and Chen Qingming can succeed depends on their parents.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping asked He Lixia to call Chen Qingming to their home. They just wanted to check for her to see if this person was trustworthy after hearing that she was dating someone.

Whether these two people can finally get together depends on his father-in-law and mother-in-law and He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi.

In fact, this level is not very difficult.

As long as the mother-in-law test is passed, the test between He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi will not be a problem.

The most important thing is to see whether the relationship between He Lixia and Chen Qingming is strong.

If these two people are sincere to each other and are ready to stay together for a lifetime, his mother-in-law will definitely not object.

When He Chunfen married away to Shanghai, her mother-in-law didn't object either.

Xu Jingtian said: "Third brother-in-law, I'm hungry."

"You're hungry, okay? I'll make lunch. You can eat whatever noodles you want."

Yang Yukun looked at the time, and it was indeed time for lunch.

Xu Jingtian and He Lixia went back to school today. They will have dinner early today, so they will just have a casual lunch, a big bowl of egg noodles for each person.

"Third brother-in-law, let me feed the little zongzi."

"Okay, here you are."

Passing the complementary food for the little zongzi to Xu Jingtian, Yang Yukun began to prepare today's dinner.

At almost four o'clock in the afternoon, He Lixia came back from outside with Chen Qingming.

"Third brother-in-law, please go back and help me take the photos to the photo studio for development." He Lixia and Chen Qingming took a lot of photos when we went out to play just now.

After dinner, it was time to go back to school, so I had to ask my third brother-in-law to send the photos I took today to the photo studio for development.

"No problem, I'll take it to Lao Zhang later."

"Thank you, third brother-in-law."

"How many pictures should be washed?"

"Let's develop two photos from one negative, and I'll take one clear and bright one."

"give it to me."

Chen Qingming said: "Third brother-in-law, I will give you the money for developing the photos later."

"Okay, dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and eat. I will take you back to school in a while."

Yang Yukun originally wanted to say no, after all, it wouldn’t cost much to develop photos.

Chen Qingming's family has two college students and one quasi-college student to support, and their family is not very wealthy.

But he was also worried that Chen Qingming was sensitive in his heart. Saying this would make him think too much, and he would change his tone when he spoke.

"Qingming, let's go."

He Lixia took Chen Qingming into the restaurant. Chen Qingming was momentarily lost looking at the rich dishes on the table.

He has never had such a sumptuous meal, and meat is rarely eaten at home.

Although He Lixia didn't tell him what her third sister and third brother-in-law did, after arriving at her third brother-in-law's house, Chen Qingming could feel that He Lixia's third sister and third brother-in-law were definitely not ordinary people.

Ordinary people can live in such a spacious single-family courtyard, with all kinds of exquisite furniture in the house, as well as the two high-end imported cars parked in the courtyard.

Based on his family conditions, compared with He Lixia, is the gap too big?
  Throughout the ages, people have valued being well-matched. Can he be worthy of a girl with such a good family background?

At this moment, Chen Qingming suddenly felt inferior.

"Qingming, what are you doing standing around? Sit down." Yang Yukun smiled and asked Chen Qingming to sit down.

He Lixia asked doubtfully: "Qingming, what's wrong with you?"

"I am fine."

Chen Qingming came to his senses and sat down on the chair next to He Lixia.

"Qingming, do you know how to drink?"

"Third brother-in-law, I don't know how to drink. I have never drank before."

"Then stop drinking and eat more food. Don't be polite."

"it is good."

After dinner, Xu Jingtian and He Lixia went back to their courtyard to pack and get their schoolbags.

Yang Yukun called Chen Qingming to the study room, and he planned to talk to Chen Qingming.

"Qingming Festival, sit down and drink tea."

"Thank you, third brother-in-law."

"I saw you were a little distracted when you were eating just now. What were you thinking about?"

"Third brother-in-law, I didn't think about anything."

"Do you feel that the family situations between you and Lixia are too different, that you are not worthy of her, that you feel inferior, and that you want to back down?"

Chen Qingming was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yang Yukun could see through what he was thinking.

"Young man, if you really think so, you will be very disappointed."

"Third brother-in-law, I..."

"I can tell you plainly that Lixia's third aunt has already arranged the road ahead for her. After she graduates from college, she will work in her third aunt's company and assist her third aunt in managing the company.

Now that you see the gap between the two of you, you should find a way to narrow the gap between you and study harder instead of giving up. Do you understand? "

While eating just now, Yang Yukun noticed that Chen Qingming's mood was not right, and he soon guessed what the problem was.

I hope Chen Qingming can listen to what he said, otherwise he and He Lixia may have nothing but fate. (End of chapter)
