Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 236 New House and Old Courtyard

Old Mrs. Chu already liked this bougainvillea bush, and after hearing what she heard, she became even more interested in this old courtyard. She picked up Chu Chu, who was about to climb over the threshold, and entered the courtyard first.

"Chun Ni, your courtyard may be quite old. Look at the bluestone slabs and the redbud tree that is as thick as a man's embrace."

"Grandma, stop looking. There will be plenty of time later. Come inside first."

Old man Li came up to his grandson and muttered, "Look at Chunni. She has built up a lot of wealth at such a young age. She can buy a house wherever she wants. How wonderful!"

The implication is self-evident.

After entering the lobby, Chunni realized that this two-story building was really large. She found that it had a large iron carved spiral staircase like the ones in old Shanghai.

Chunni was even more satisfied, as she didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

Qianjin put down his luggage and approached Chunni to ask for praise, "Aunt, when I heard you were coming to Yangcheng, I asked someone to help you clean the small building carefully, so you can rest assured."

Chunni was not there when she bought the house, but she knew that there was not much left in it except for the heavy furniture. Seeing that Qianjin did not mention the furniture arrangement, she knew that her eldest brother Yang Bangming had bought it for her in advance.

Chunni nodded with satisfaction and praised: "I feel relieved when you do things. Thank you. Go ahead!"

Qianjin laughed and said, "You guys clean up first, I'll come back before noon."

"Yeah, I'll go see your fat daughter this afternoon."

After Qianjin left, Chunni walked around the new house and asked for everyone's opinions. She then divided the three rooms downstairs between the old couple of the Chu family, Old Man Li and Ma's wife. The rest of the people lived upstairs.

Chunni chose the largest bedroom, not for anything else, but for the 1.8-meter-long bed. You know, she wanted to take Chuci with her, and if the bed was too small, the baby would fall off with one turn.

Chunni was playing with her two kids on the bed when she heard knocks on the door.

Ma's wife felt something and quickly opened the gate. Then she saw Yang Bangming's handsome and reserved face, and she sighed, feeling disappointed.

Hey! I thought that shameless guy was going to come along!

Yang Bangming raised his eyelids and asked seriously: "Why, is sister-in-law unhappy because she didn't see third brother?!" After being a boss for several years, Yang Bangming, with a stern face, has become somewhat majestic.

Mrs. Ma would not be fooled. "Who wants that stinky man?! I just want to see if he has a haircut! Before leaving, I asked him to get a haircut but he refused, saying that his uncle would die if he got a haircut in the first month of the year. But he only has one uncle still alive!"

Yang Bangming looked at Ma's wife calmly and said, "Yes, you don't miss him... Third brother, don't hide. Third sister-in-law doesn't want to see you at all. Go back to work!"

At this moment, a man in his thirties suddenly rushed out of the door, scaring Ma's wife. After seeing who it was, she rushed over and slapped the man's arm, saying, "Yang Bangmin, you big-headed ghost, you scared me to death! I want you to scare me, I want you to scare me!"

The strength in Ma's wife's hands became lighter and lighter, and the smile on Third Brother's face became bigger and bigger.

It’s great that my wife is here!

Yang Bangming was also laughing, but he was a man of discernment. The couple must have a lot to talk about after a short separation, so he should not just stand there!

When Yang Bangming entered the courtyard, he saw Chunni and Chuci waiting under the eaves. He put the gift aside, picked up Chuchu, and whispered: "Such a beautiful girl must be Chuchu."

Chuchu had long forgotten what Yang Bangming looked like. She moved her body restlessly, stretched out her hands to Chunni, and shouted, "Mom, Mom..."

Chunni smiled and tapped Chuchu's little nose, comforting her: "Chuchu, this is the uncle that mom told you about!"

Chuchu raised her head and looked carefully at Yang Bangming, and found that she really didn't know him, so she stretched out her hand to Chunni again, as if she was about to cry.

Chunni took Chuchu reluctantly, "Brother, Chuchu is a little shy. She will be fine after a few days of getting familiar with him."

Yang Bangming smiled indifferently, and in a blink of an eye he saw Cici's fixed gaze. He bent down and teased the little boy, "Cici! Uncle bought you some cookies during the Chinese New Year, do you remember?"

Cici felt that his uncle looked unfamiliar, but that didn't stop him from knowing what biscuits were, so he nodded without hesitation.

"Haha, Cici can remember cookies, but people may not." Chunni laughed out loud when she saw Cici's serious expression.

Cici saw her mother laughing, so she started laughing too. "Hahahaha." The cute little voice could be heard from far away.

Chunni loved Cici so much that she picked up her little face and kissed it again and again.

Then Chunni led Yang Bangming to the living room, thanking him as they walked: "Brother, I really like the house you bought for me. From the huge bougainvillea at the door, to the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, to the layout and decoration of the house, I am very satisfied with it!"

Yang Bangming smiled and said modestly: "As long as you like it." He did not mention the effort he put into buying the house at all.

Chunni felt that saying thank you was too easy and she would just wait to repay the favor later.
