I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 565 So Many Gifts

After the engagement ended, Su Xue's family no longer lived in Compound No. 95, but were arranged by Bang Geng to live in Hutong No. , East nd Street.

Because many people came back from Hong Kong today, they wanted to relive the old days, and the children had heard about the life in the compound, and now they had the chance to experience it for themselves. So many people chose to live in Compound No. 95.

Naturally, Su Xue's family had no convenient place to live, so they were simply arranged to live in a small courtyard house in Dong 42nd Hutong.

They felt a little awkward at first, but after entering the courtyard, they were immediately attracted by the elegance and exquisite decoration of the courtyard.

Banggeng introduced with a smile: "This is the most standard two-courtyard courtyard in the old Beijing courtyard. As soon as you enter the door from the outside, this is the outer courtyard, with a row of artificial rooms. This one is called the hanging flower gate. It is also called the second gate. The original saying is not to go out of the main gate or the second gate, referring to these two gates. There are a total of 19 rooms in this courtyard. There are main rooms, side rooms, ear rooms, and back rooms. There is also a bathroom, toilet, and kitchen in the courtyard. It is very convenient for life. Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, you can stay in Beijing for a while and have a good time."

After Su Xue entered the second gate, she walked around the yard, her eyes sparkling with wonder. This yard was really too elegant. She couldn't help but ask Bang Geng who had just followed in: "Whose yard is this?"

Bang Geng said, "This is Uncle Song Wu's yard. But you can live here without worry. He and Aunt Xiao'e lived here for a while in the early years. Later it has been empty. Except for the occasional visit to take care of it, no one has lived here for a long time."

"Such a nice yard is vacant. Why don't you live here? Why do you have to live in a big yard?"

Bang Geng smiled and said, "Maybe I'm used to it. Most of the courtyards at Uncle Song Wu's house are empty. I can't remember how many courtyards there are, big and small. My mother has her own courtyard."

After looking around the yard, there is one more very important thing to do: opening the presents.

They received too many gifts this time. Normally, in this era, even for weddings, at most people would just give gifts, a few cents or a few dollars. But so many people came from Hong Kong at once, and they liked to give gifts in addition to gifts.

There were adults and children. Even the children in my arms smiled and gave me a small gift.

Su Xue temporarily suppressed her doubts about the people from Hong Kong and focused her attention on the pile of gifts in front of her.

At first, the family didn’t pay much attention to them, thinking that they were just some small things. What they cared more about was that the packaging of these gifts was very beautiful, and they even felt a little reluctant to open them.

"Hey, what is this? It's a small tape recorder."

The first gift she opened surprised Su Xue.

If she hadn't seen her classmates using it, she wouldn't even know what it was.

Oh, right. It should be called a Walkman. It can be easily put in your pocket or bag when you listen to it with headphones, which will be very convenient when you learn Swedish in the future.

Su Xue was surprised, because she knew that this kind of thing was hard to buy and very expensive. The one their classmate used was brought back from overseas by a relative who was a diplomat.

Su Xue still remembers the proud expressions on her classmates' faces and the deep affection they showed when they talked about their relatives overseas.

"Great, this is too expensive." Su Xue was trying her best to recall who gave her this gift. At that time, both adults and children stuffed gifts into her hands, so she couldn't remember it for a while.

Banggeng smiled and said, "This is a gift from Xiao Miao. She knows you need to learn foreign languages, so she bought you a Walkman so that you can study more conveniently."

Su Xue thought of Gao Xiaomiao.

At this time, Su Xue's sister-in-law also opened a gift package. Suddenly she exclaimed, "What a beautiful watch."

This watch can no longer be described as beautiful. After Su Xue took the watch from her sister-in-law, she was a little stunned. After a long while, she looked at Bang Geng with some uneasiness, "Such a watch should be very expensive, right? Can we accept it?"

Bang Geng took a look and smiled, then looked at the package in Sister Su Xue's hand, "This is from Aunt Haitang. Just keep it. It's just an ordinary gift to them."

Originally, Su Xue didn't know what an ordinary gift was. After opening one package after another, she had become a little aesthetically fatigued and immune to surprises.

Su Xue's parents, brother and sister-in-law looked at the gifts they had opened and were speechless. They looked at each other from time to time, all with expressions of shock.

The jewelry was all in sets. I was too embarrassed to mention the gold ones. Su Xue's mother finally couldn't help but ask Bang Geng, "Bang Geng, this isn't good. What are you two going to give back to them in the future?"

Bang Geng waved his hand and said, "In the future, Su Xue and I will give them whatever gifts we have. They value feelings, not the gifts, because they don't care and don't need them. Many of the little brothers and sisters here also gave very good gifts. It's their first time in Beijing."

Su Xue's parents, brother and sister-in-law sat for a while, then glanced at each other and left the house, leaving space for Su Xue and Bang Geng to talk properly.

"Bang Geng, what is your relationship with them? I feel a little uneasy, you should tell me the truth."

Bang Geng thought about it, then smiled and said, "Don't worry. You can probably understand that we are all a family."

"A family?" Su Xue was confused.

Bang Geng gritted his teeth and simply said to Su Xue: "You know Xu Xiaoqing, right?"

Su Xue nodded, "Your mother likes to order him to do things the most. It seems that the two of them have a tacit understanding and are very close to each other."

Bang Geng laughed. "That's because he's my mother's biological son. How can we not be close? In fact, his real name should be Song Xiaoqing. He's the son of my mother and Uncle Song Wu. Now you understand my relationship with them, right?"

"what?"

Su Xue had never expected this to happen. However, the amount of information was a bit too much, which made her mind a bit confused for a while. Many things were not thought through for the time being, and she frowned, trying to sort out her thoughts carefully.

After listening to Banggeng's explanation, Su Xue was temporarily stunned.

In the opposite room, Su Xue's parents and her brother and sister-in-law were also chatting about what they had seen today and the pile of gifts they had just received.

Now they are not happy but worried. In fact, the actual situation they are facing now is beyond their understanding and imagination. In addition, they have been cautious for so many years and have seen too many ups and downs. Suddenly, facing so many incredible things, it is inevitable to worry.

This is not an ordinary family, there won't be any problems, right? Really, if you are poor, you will be unwilling, and if you are rich, you will be worried. Why is life always full of so many entanglements?

They don’t know why the Banggeng family has so many relatives in Hong Kong, and they are all so generous.
