The entrance to the courtyard opens to the southeast. There is a screen wall at the entrance, and there is a reverse-seating room in the courtyard. Then you enter the hanging flower door, which is the second courtyard. The courtyard is spacious and paved with stone slabs. The most conspicuous thing in the courtyard is the two thick French plane trees.

Tree.

"This yard..." Tao Yushu looked at the plants and trees in the yard, with a sense of novelty in his tone.

"Isn't it different? This is the courtyard from the Republic of China. The second courtyard has a bit of French style, and the front and rear are all formal quadrangle courtyards. The east and west courtyards were also used by a large family at that time."

Tao Yushu went to the east courtyard and took a look, and couldn't help frowning. Compared with the west courtyard, there was indeed a big difference.

When the couple were looking at the yard, Mrs. Cheng stood under the eaves of the main house with a smile and looked at them.

That day, Lin Chaoyang asked her to discuss it with her son and grandson. She went to the Telegraph Building to call her son, and her son agreed to Lin Chaoyang's offer.

The price has been negotiated, and Mrs. Cheng and Lin Chaoyang discussed going to the housing management office to go through the procedures on Monday.

Catching up with today's weekend, Lin Chaoyang brought Tao Yushu over to take a look.

"Xiao Lin is really lucky to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law. I heard she is pregnant?"

Lin Chaoyang and his wife looked around the yard and walked to the main room. Mrs. Cheng asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's only been more than a month."

"Okay, our house will protect our children and grandchildren. We have three sisters-in-law and have given birth to eight children. All of them are safe and sound."

"I'd like to lend you your kind words!" Lin Chaoyang responded with a smile.

After chatting with Mrs. Cheng for a while and finishing looking at the yard, Lin Chaoyang left with Tao Yushu.

"Does it feel good?" Lin Chaoyang asked Tao Yushu after coming out.

"That's great. How big is this yard?"

"The old lady said it was close to two thousand square meters. I measured it with my feet that day and it should be about the same."

Tao Yushu couldn't help but be speechless when she heard this. When she was shopping just now, she thought it was a bit big, but she didn't expect it to be nearly two thousand square meters.

"Isn't it too big? How can we live in such a big house?"

"According to what you said, all courtyards should be turned into large courtyards, with only a few people in a family. It can't be calculated that way. There's nothing wrong with living in a more spacious place. Don't you like this courtyard too?"

Tao Yushu nodded, "I quite like it. When I was a child in Shuimu Garden, their south courtyard felt very similar to this courtyard, with a Western-style red-roofed bungalow and a Chinese-style three-sided courtyard, with Chinese and Western styles next to each other."

Lin Chaoyang joked: "Then this yard can be regarded as fulfilling your childhood dream."

Tao Yushu's smile contained some aftertaste of the past, and he added: "The only flaw is the east courtyard, which is a bit dilapidated."

"It's good to break it down. This is what I'm thinking about. We can simply tidy up the west courtyard and move in, and then slowly tidy up the east courtyard.

Although this courtyard is good, the hardware facilities are still far inferior to those of overseas Chinese apartments.

Let’s spend more money to clean it up so that we can live comfortably in the future.”

Tao Yushu said with some distress: "It only cost 15,000 yuan to buy it. If we continue to demolish and build it, 20,000 yuan will not be able to afford it, right?"

“Isn’t the purpose of making money to spend it and live a better life?”
