More than ten minutes later, the two people drove into the alley of the courtyard.

Ding Cui parked the car.

He turned around with a puzzled look and asked:

"Zhuzi, you took the wrong direction, right? This is a courtyard house. Where is the house our mother bought for us?"

Lin Tiezhu also scratched his head.

"Yes, these are all courtyard houses, but I just found them at the address our mother gave me, right?"

Ding Cui looked at the courtyard with a longing expression on her face.

"Zhuzhu, what do you think this courtyard is like inside? I've never seen it in my life. I've been in Beijing for so long, and you didn't take me to see the Forbidden City."

Ding Cui curiously leaned on the crack of the door and looked inside. While looking at it, she said:

"Okay, didn't we have time before? This time we have vacation and we will take you to have a look next week. Don't look at it. We can't afford it if we look at it again. Let's call mom and ask where the house is? "

Just as Ding Cui was about to look away, the door to the courtyard opened.

As soon as the couple arrived in the alley, Liu Boyong heard the sound.

When I opened the door, I saw two couples dressed as migrant workers in camouflage uniforms. The man was carrying a luggage roll behind his back.

"Who are you looking for?"

When Ding Cui saw that there was someone in this house, she blushed a little when she thought about her behavior just now, and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm just curious about what it's like here. We came here to find a house."

Liu Boyong looked puzzled, looking at the couple's dressing, they didn't look like people who could own a house here.

"What kind of house are you looking for here?"

Ding Cui took the note from Lin Tiezhu's hand and handed it to Liu Boyong.

"Uncle, look where this house is. My mother said she bought a house for us. We originally wanted to move here today, but we didn't find out where the house was when we came over. There are courtyards all around."

Ding Cui was a little embarrassed as she said that, and quickly took out a note to prove that she was not here to pick open the door.

Liu Boyong took the note, and the address written on it was right here. Looking at the man with a naive look on his face, and the woman who kept rubbing her hands in embarrassment, Liu Boyong couldn't help but ask:

"What's your mother's name?"

Ding Cui was so nervous that she forgot her mother-in-law's name and couldn't help but look at Lin Tiezhu.

"My mother, my mother's name is Wei Shufen!"

Liu Boyong muttered.

"Wei Shufen? Sister Wei? Is your mother an old lady with small feet and weird behavior?"

Hearing this, Lin Tiezhu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Uncle, I'm not sure if you are talking about my mother, but my mother does have small feet, and her behavior is indeed weird!"

Liu Boyong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, that's it, but looking at the appearance of these two children, you can't tell that Sister Wei has such great strength?

Thinking in his heart, Liu Boyong put on a smiling face.

"That's it. I know Sister Wei, who is your mother. You don't have to look for it. Your mother bought the five courtyard houses around here."

Liu Boyong thought that after he finished speaking, the two of them would jump up excitedly. However, they saw puzzled looks on their faces. After hesitating for a while, Lin Tiezhu said:

"Uncle, I guess you must have made a mistake. The old lady you just mentioned is definitely not my mother. My mother is just an ordinary rural old lady. This is a courtyard house. Even if our house is sold, we can't afford it. One, five for five, that’s definitely not my mother, daughter-in-law, let’s go, we must have found the wrong person.”

Lin Tiezhu himself works on construction sites. He knows the housing prices in Beijing very well. In this location, such a big three-in yard is hard to get down. It is impossible for his family to have so much money.

Seeing that the couple was about to leave, Liu Boyong quickly called them to stop.

"Hey, I told you two, why don't you give me a call and ask?"

Ding Cui grabbed Lin Tiezhu.

"Yeah, Zhu Zhu calls mom and asks."

Ding Cui did not leave directly, but held on to some fantasy.

A few minutes later, Lin Tiezhu hung up the phone with a blank look on his face.

"Mom!"

"Why, isn't it?"

Ding Cui asked anxiously:

Lin Tiezhu nodded wildly.

"Mom said, it's all five!"

The couple was so happy that they exploded.

Upon seeing this, Liu Boyong closed the door with a smile on his face.

According to what mother said, the three households opposite Old Man Liu and those near the southeast, which was the first courtyard that Old Mrs. Wei looked at, belonged to them.

The couple happily opened the door with the key and visited the entire yard over and over again.

The smile on Ding Cui's face never faded.

Sitting in the courtyard, Lin Tiezhu looked deep in thought.

"Zhuzi, what are you doing sitting there like an old man? Get up and pack your things quickly. No one has lived in this yard for I don't know how long. How can I clean up so much dust?"

After Ding Cui got over her excitement, she began to have to face reality. How long will it take to clean up such a big house?

"Oh, my wife, come here and listen to me."

Ding Cui looked confused.

"Say what?"

Lin Tiezhu looked around, and then whispered:

"Daughter-in-law, our mother is too low-key. She always said that she was a rich lady and some kind of noble. I always thought she was just talking. Then she sold some things and bought a house for Xiaorui. Later, she gave Xiaorui a house. We took that magic pill, I suspect this house was not bought by our mother at all, it belongs to our mother in the first place?"

Lin Tiezhu looked scheming.

Ding Cui looked in disbelief.

"No way, Zhuzi. If this was really our mother's fault, our family wouldn't have been so poor in those years. We were borrowing money from everywhere just to build a house?"

"Didn't we say before that she forgot?"

"You can forget things buried in the ground. If you tell me, some people will believe you. So why do people still forget about five large courtyards that are so big? Besides, although this courtyard is quite dusty, it doesn't look like it has been there for a long time. It’s been lived in, and there’s a lot of modern furniture inside?”

Lin Tiezhu became confused again.

"Isn't it true?"

Seeing Lin Tiezhu like that, Ding Cui suddenly became happy.

"Daughter-in-law, why are you laughing?"

Ding Cui looked at the large courtyard and the antique buildings, and suddenly said with emotion:

"In those years, in order to build such a house for my mother, I endured a lot of hardships with you. I didn't understand at the time that an old rural lady couldn't live anywhere. You had to cause so many famines to build a house just because your mother liked it. , Now that I think about it, the hardships I suffered back then were not in vain!”

Ding Cui cleaned up the yard and laughed again.

"Zhuzi, you said that Mom looks confused at ordinary times, but she knows everything in her heart. She saw all the hardships we suffered back then. She did her best for our Xiaorui's affairs. Now in this big courtyard , and we, the couple, were the first to move in!”
