On the other side, my mother explained the relationship between the two people in front of her with black lines, so as to prevent Betty from misunderstanding and getting inexplicably jealous.
“The girl in the down jacket is called Linlin. She is the daughter of Ye Tian’s second uncle. She goes to university in Beijing. The relationship between the two of them is very good. They often mess around like this.
Linlin's parents are both doctors and very busy at work. They also lived in this courtyard house when they were children. Apart from grandparents, Xiaotian took care of her the most, and this little girl was also very attached to Xiaotian! "
“Their brother-sister relationship is so good, I’m a little envious of it!”
Betty chuckled and whispered, staring at the two guys in front of her.
"Brother! You are so annoying. You hit people on the forehead whenever we meet. Forget it this time. If you dare to hit me on the forehead again in the future, I will definitely fight with you!
Even if I can't beat you, I can still ask my aunt to deal with you. If I can't, there are still grandparents, so I don't believe I can't cure your stinky problem! "
Linlin was still struggling hard and kept saying harsh words.
"What's wrong with growing up? What's wrong with going to college? In my eyes, you will always be that little girl with a snot trailing behind me, a follower, a little tail!
Besides, you are a big girl, how do you look like you are so busy all day long? Is the house on fire or something? With you like this, I'm really worried about your future! "
Ye Tian continued to tease his sister, showing off his poisonous tongue skills to the best of his ability.
After saying these words, he released his right arm that was restraining his sister, and at the same time quickly took two steps back to prevent the little girl from becoming angry and taking turns using her hands to perform the magic trick of tickling people.
"Ahhh! I can't live anymore, it's such a bully!"
Linlin jumped and shouted, but there was nothing she could do to Ye Tian.
With no choice but to rush to her mother's side, she hugged her mother's arm and complained unrelentingly.
"Auntie! Just look at my brother, he knows how to bully me, and you don't care. He has caused all the trouble in the United States, but he still has the nerve to criticize me. He is so thick-skinned!"
"Hahaha, you two are living ancestors, who can care?"
My mother said with a smile, cheerfully.
Immediately afterwards, my mother immediately changed the topic.
"Linlin, this is Betty, your brother's girlfriend, her home is Boston, USA; Betty, this is Ye Tian's cousin, her name is Ye Beilin"
"Good evening, Linlin, nice to meet you, you look so beautiful"
Betty took the initiative to say hello to Linlin and gave her a warm hug.
"Hello, Betty, I'm glad to meet you too. Compared to you in the video, you are sexier and more beautiful in real life. My brother is such a lucky guy!"
Linlin’s English was very smooth and she immediately sent out a series of beautiful words.
In the blink of an eye, the two beauties, one Chinese and one foreign, became close to each other, just like best friends who grew up together!
"Let's go home, your grandfather and the others should have heard the sound at the door"
Dad pointed to the gate of the courtyard and said, taking the lead to walk into this ancient courtyard.
Behind him, his mother, Betty and the others walked in, and finally Ye Tian and Raymond were pushing their luggage.
When everyone walked into the gate, Ye Tian stopped, turned around and closed the courtyard door.
The next step is to enjoy the wonderful time of family affection and refuse any interruption!
……
Going around the screen wall at the end of the doorway, passing through a newly built hanging flower door, a simple and neat small courtyard appeared in front of everyone.
The first thing everyone saw was a square courtyard paved with blue bricks, about sixty or seventy square meters, very neatly organized.
There are more than twenty flower pots on the ground and on several wrought iron flower stands near the courtyard. However, it is the middle of winter, and the flowers and plants in the flower pots have withered, making it somewhat desolate.
But it is conceivable that when spring comes, these flowers and plants will be rejuvenated, blooming and colorful, bringing a sense of spring to this small courtyard.
In the northeast corner of the courtyard, there stands a tall persimmon tree, which can be said to be several decades old.
In spring and summer, its lush branches and leaves can effectively block direct sunlight, bringing coolness to the whole house in this courtyard, which is extremely comfortable!
In late autumn, persimmons like red lanterns will hang on the branches, giving people a feeling of infinite autumn and full of poetry and painting.
At this moment, the persimmon tree is completely bare, with only one completely exposed branch piercing the sky. Although it lacks vitality, it exudes a bit of strength.
Under the persimmon tree, there is a medium-sized fish tank with a diameter of eight to ninety centimeters.
The fish tank is gray-black, placed on a millstone base, and is very stable. The tank is engraved with auspicious patterns, and the appearance is mottled, giving it a historical charm.
Standing on the steps of the hanging flower door, tiptoeing a little, you can vaguely see the shadow of the goldfish swimming comfortably in the fish tank, adding a bit of lively color to the small courtyard!
Due to the special architectural pattern of Beijing courtyards, each enclosed courtyard will form a relatively independent microclimate.
In summer, the temperature in a courtyard is usually a few degrees lower than on the streets outside, making it not so hot. If there are ceilings and shade trees in the courtyard, it will be cooler and more comfortable!
In winter when the north wind blows, the relatively closed structure of the courtyard blocks the biting cold wind outside, making the courtyard less cold.
Because of this, people keep goldfish in their yards.
In the bleak winter, a tank of goldfish will undoubtedly bring some color and vitality to life. Basically, you don’t have to worry about the water freezing and the goldfish freezing to death!
Except for extreme weather, of course.
After entering modern society, people who like to keep fish no longer have to worry about this problem. There are many ways to maintain the water temperature in the fish tank.
In the northwest corner of the courtyard, under a wisteria trellis, there is a round stone table with a diameter of nearly one meter. There are several round stone drum stools surrounding the stone table, which is quite ancient.
In Ye Tian's eyes, they are indeed several antiques with a history of more than 180 years, emitting a dazzling red light, although their value is quite average.
This set of stone tables and benches is where grandpa and his old friends in the alley play chess and have fierce battles. It is also a place for family members to chat. It is very practical.
In the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is a small built house, which is slightly incompatible with the overall style of the courtyard.
This is a house built after the earthquake. It has been there since Ye Tian could remember. It is the kitchen of his family.
In addition, there are some other things scattered in the yard, but they are not cluttered. On the contrary, they give the yard a bit more life and make it more friendly.
Directly north of the courtyard are three spacious and bright north rooms facing south, which are also the main rooms. At this time, they are brightly lit and the radiating light seems to give people a warm feeling.
These three main rooms are used by grandparents, and the one in the middle is the decision-making center of the family.
On the left and right sides are the east and west wing rooms, each with two rooms. The steps are slightly lower than the main room. The windows are also bright and brightly lit.
When I was a child, Ye Tian's family lived in the east wing, and my uncle's family lived in the west wing opposite.
On the same side as the hanging flower door are the two south rooms, also called reverse seats, which are the guest rooms at home and used to be my sister-in-law's boudoir.
Although this is an old courtyard house with a long history, traces of time can be seen everywhere, but it is very well maintained. It is an excellent residence and a warm home!
People who come in through the hanging flower gate instantly have a general understanding of this courtyard house.
However, this is not what everyone cares about.
What everyone cares about is the people living in this small courtyard. That is the reason for the existence of this courtyard, and that is the reason why it is so haunting.
Because of the flowers, trees and goldfish, this place is full of vitality and aura; because of family ties, it is full of warmth and touching, making people infinitely yearn for it!
Ye Tian stood on the steps of the Weeping Flower Gate, feeling extremely excited and his breathing became much faster.
His eyes were fixedly fixed on the door of the main room, unwilling to move away for a moment. Tears had already appeared in his eyes and might flow down his cheeks at any time!
On the steps at the door of the north room, two energetic old men in their seventies or eighties stood side by side, smiling, looking at Ye Tian on the other side of the hanging flower door, with eyes full of love! Also full of joy!
No need to ask, these are Ye Tian’s grandparents, the people he wants to kneel down and kowtow to for a few times,
Next to the grandparents and in other places in the yard, there were several people standing scattered, some big and some small. Among them were the second uncle, the second aunt, aunts, uncles, and younger brothers and sisters.
Without exception, everyone in the yard looked at Ye Tian standing at the door of Chuihua, with the brightest smile on everyone's face.
"Hiss——!"
Ye Tianchang took a breath of cool air and used it to suppress his boiling emotions.
The next moment, he strode down the steps of the hanging flower door, directly took Betty's hand, and walked quickly to the north room.
"Dear, those are my grandparents in front of me, let's go there!"
