Soon, everyone arrived at the courtyard.

"Hello everyone, please sit down."

Liu Qingqing warmly welcomed this group of old neighbors.

In the morning, Ye Rongyao told Liu Qingqing that someone nearby would come to visit his home later. The number of people might be large, and Ye Rongyao would ignore other things.

As a wife, Liu Qingqing's affairs are naturally hers, and Ye Rongyao rarely interferes.

After hearing Ye Rongyao's words, the people in these neighbors were very enthusiastic, and Liu Qingqing, as the hostess, could not be rude. In the morning, she arranged for someone to buy some fruits and vegetables to come back to entertain guests.

"Who is this?"

As soon as Liu Qingqing appeared, she immediately blurted out the old neighbors.

This girl is so beautiful, much more beautiful than the female stars on TV.

As a native of the capital, everyone is well-informed and has seen beauties from all over the country on the streets, but I have never seen such a beautiful girl like hers before me.

This is like a fairy, no... it is ten times more beautiful than the fairies played by the female stars seen on TV.

Many people were stunned.

"This is my wife Liu Qingqing."

Ye Rongyao introduced.

"Dear uncles, aunts... Oh, there are two beauties, all of them are sitting there, Aunt Wang brings out all the fruits."

Liu Qingqing said to the group of neighbors who were staring at her.

"Qingqing, right? You are so beautiful, much more beautiful than the female stars on TV. If you become a star, those female stars will be unemployed."

Sister Jiang looked at Liu Qingqing with emotion and said.

This rich man is different. He lives in a mansion and his wife is like a fairy.

This poor boy can marry such a beautiful wife.

Even if you marry, you can't keep it!

"Sister, you praised me!"

Liu Qingqing said politely.

"My surname is Jiang. Just call me Sister Jiang. The neighbors call me that. I was really not flattering just now. You are really too beautiful. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Zhang and the others."

Sister Jiang said.

"Qingqing is definitely the most beautiful woman in our alley. It shouldn't be said to be the most beautiful woman in the entire capital. Anyway, I have been in this capital for most of my life and have never seen a woman who is more beautiful than you."

Aunt Zhang said.

In Aunt Zhang's opinion, such a beautiful girl has never been seen in hundreds of years.

If this were in the feudal era in the past, it would definitely be sent to the palace to serve the emperor.

"Don't stand, sit!"

When Ye Rongyao saw everyone standing, he also invited everyone to sit down. Because he knew that there were guests coming, there were many chairs in the courtyard, which were enough for everyone to sit.

"Xiao Ye, you are so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife as Qingqing."

Uncle Zhao gave Ye Rongyao a thumbs up and said.

"That's!"

Ye Rongyao said proudly.

"Xiao Ye, Qingqing, this is the first time I have come to your house. Everyone can't come empty-handed. You can accept these worthless things!"

Aunt Zhang handed a bag of eggs to Liu Qingqing and said.

"How can this be done? I haven't visited you yet, how can I accept this gift?"

Liu Qingqing shook her head and said.

"It's all worthless. Qingqing, please accept it. There are all rules in our alleys. If new residents move in, everyone will bring something to visit for the first time, which will add to the joy."

Sister Jiang said.

"Everyone is really too considerate, I'll accept these things."

Although these things are not worth much money, Liu Qingqing and his wife have to appreciate this feeling.

These gifts are naturally accepted.

Otherwise, you will look down on others. People will say that you are arrogant and will not want to walk with you, and the relationship between this neighborhood will be difficult to get along with.

"That's right!"

Seeing that Liu Qingqing accepted all these gifts, Aunt Zhang and the others were all happy.

Originally, Aunt Zhang was worried that "Xiao Ye"'s family would be so rich, would it be despised by the gifts given by everyone, and would it be difficult for the family to speak?

I didn’t expect that the “Xiao Ye” couple are so easy to get along with. You can tell at a glance that the couple has a good character.

He didn't look down on his poor neighbors because his family had money.

In China, many people think that the people in the capital who are born and raised in the Siheyuan in the alley are very rich.

In fact, it is wrong. Only those who live here understand the most. People like me are not rich. They are so poor that they can’t even afford to buy a wedding house for their children.

Even because of this, several young people in the alley agreed on by each other ended up failing. Why? Isn’t I still poor?

I don’t want to marry into this alley and live a life of dozens of people cramming a broken yard.

Nowadays, young people are not like the older generation, and they are used to living in a large yard. When they go to bed at night, they can hear the snoring of neighbors in the next room.

If anyone quarrels in this yard, no one in the whole yard can be idle.

Nowadays, young people like a private house that belongs entirely to their own, which is the current commercial house.

But the commercial housing in Beijing costs hundreds or tens of millions at every turn, so how can people who make money by working?

It’s the down payment, and there are not many neighbors living in this alley that can afford it.

Some people may say that the courtyard houses in Beijing are valuable now. If you sell them, will it be a lot of money?

This idea is good, but how to operate it?

Unless a single-family courtyard like "Xiao Ye" can be sold or sold, you can decide whether to sell it without negotiating with other residents. However, there are several such a single-family courtyard in the entire alley.

The whole yard is sold, but other residents do not agree, and it is difficult to reach an agreement on the price. Often, because the asking price is too high, the buyer thinks it is not worth it.

But there are a few rooms sold, but no one bought them. After all, if you have the money, you can buy a good commercial house in Beijing. Who wants to live in such a dilapidated yard that is crowded with many families!

Sometimes when you put something in the yard, the person next door even said that you had occupied his land.

Take the yard where Aunt Zhang lives for example. It is a small yard with five families. Some families are one house at a time. The bigger ones are 20 to 30 square meters and the smaller ones are several meters square meters. They are all three people, even two or three generations.

Aunt Zhang's family is pretty good. There are two rooms in her yard belonging to her family. Aunt Zhang and her husband live in the same room, and her son and daughter are crowded in the same room.

Now that my son and daughter are in their twenties, there is no place to live, and they have to squeeze in a house with curtains in the middle. When the son wants to get married, the daughter has to move to her house and squeeze in with her husband and wife.

When I think about it, Aunt Zhang feels sad.

It’s not that Aunt Zhang doesn’t want to buy a house for her children, she really can’t afford it. She finally saved up the down payment, but the housing prices are rising so much.

On the first day of this year, you can pay a 60-square-meter second-hand house outside the Fifth Ring Road. The family worked together to make money, save money, and borrowed from all over the place. Finally, they saved the down payment. But when they went to the housing exchange, they couldn't do it. The down payment of 500,000 was the price at the beginning of the year. Now it is mid-year. The house price has risen sharply, and the down payment is one million.

With this way of rising housing prices, Aunt Zhang has become more interested in buying a house.

This house in Beijing is absolutely unaffordable, unless it is demolished, but this courtyard house is a national key protected building and will definitely not be demolished.

The housing price can only be seen, and it has no practical significance to you, so where can you get money?

Soon, Liu Qingqing received a bunch of gifts, including eggs, mooncakes, fruits, and Nangong Ziyan and the others had to take them all into the house in several times.

"Don't stand, sit."

When Ye Rongyao saw that everyone was still standing, he called out.

"What do you drink?"

After everyone sat down, Liu Qingqing asked.

"Qingqing, you can sit there too. Everyone will be neighbors in the future. Don't be so polite!"

Aunt Zhang said to Liu Qingqing.

"How can you do it? You come to our house and don't even drink a sip of water. My husband will think that I am not well served, but I will criticize me."

Liu Qingqing said.

"He dares! He has been blessed for several lifetimes to marry a wife like you, and he still dares to be dissatisfied with it."

Sister Jiang said immediately.

"That's right, Xiao Ye can marry such a good wife as you, and he can't even hurt him. How dare he criticize you? If he criticizes you, you will stay at your parents' home for a few days, and he will still be honest."

"Yes, Aunt Zhang's words are a bit of experience. When my family was young, they were a lazy person. They also liked to scold me after drinking."

"Later, when I got angry, I took my baby to my parents' house for half a year, but I was so anxious that I became honest since then. He did whatever I asked him to do, and he didn't dare to talk to me loudly. Sometimes this man had to give him some colors, otherwise he would think that we women would be easy to bully."
