"Your eldest brother doesn't live in the same compound as your parents."
After coming out of Lao Liu's place, Li Qi asked when he saw Liu Guangtian leading him out of the yard directly from the back door.
"No, my brother used the money he earned from writing songs to sell a house next door and moved out ten years ago."
"Ten years ago, how old was Brother Guangqi ten years ago? He was only a teenager, and he was still a child. He could afford a house? And Brother Guangqi could also write songs. Why didn't I know? "
Li Aifang was shocked when she heard this.
"Of course I do, and the songs written by my brother are all famous. Have you heard of the songs in my motherland? They were written by my eldest brother. My brother was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time.
My brother was a popular figure back then. He was handsome, good at studies, and his articles were published in newspapers. Even though I graduated from Qinghua University, I am far behind compared to my brother. My brother was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our BJ area. If my brother didn't like to be a doctor, Qinghua University and Peking University would have won him easily. "
Liu Guangtian praised Liu Guangqi gushingly. Although he knew that Liu Guangqi was a second-generation man, Liu Guangtian admired Liu Guangqi sincerely. After all, it was not easy to get the top score in the college entrance examination, and the pile of trophies in Xiaoyanglou also showed that Liu Guangqi's Excellence does not come from rebirth, but from being excellent all the time.
"I used to be very bad at studying. It was my brother who gave me tutoring and I was admitted to Qinghua University. Now I am here."
While talking, Liu Guangtian brought Li Aifang to the door of Liu Guangqi's house.
"Why is this door open here?"
Li Aifang asked curiously as she looked at the door in front of her.
"Well, didn't I just say it? We are a courtyard with three spans and five entrances. The director of this house was an official who was in charge of the salt industry. Later, after the Qing Dynasty fell, the owner of this house fell into poverty, so he left the house. It was dismantled and bought, the west span was kept to himself, and the middle span was sold to a big warlord during the Republic of China. The east span was dismantled and sold to three families, the first and second spans were owned by one family, the third span was owned by itself, and the fourth and fourth spans were sold to one family. Wujin is a family. Originally, this gate should have been opened in the southeast corner."
Liu Guangtian pointed to the location of the public toilet.
"But that place happened to be opposite a public toilet, and there happened to be a cellar in that corridor. It was inconvenient to open the door, so we opened the door here. It was originally opened in this house, but my brother partnered with his master's granddaughter. After I sold this yard, I felt that the back room was a bit small, so I moved the door here. This row is the house that my brother bought."
"Big brother, big brother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law?"
Liu Guangtian called twice into Liu Guangqi's room.
"Second brother, eldest brother and sister-in-law went to work and haven't come back yet. Could this be him?"
Hearing the noise, Zhou Qiao came over from the front. After four years of growth, the skinny ugly duckling has turned into a tall and graceful girl. Wearing a clean white sweater and a long ponytail on her head, her face was rosy and shiny, and her whole body was filled with a youthful and lively atmosphere. Looking at Li Aifang who was next to Liu Guangtian, Zhou Qiao's dark eyes revealed a hint of cunning.
"This is my girlfriend, Li Aifang, and this is my aunt's cousin, Liu Qiao."
Because he had already introduced Zhou Qiao's situation to Li Aifang in advance, Liu Guangtian did not emphasize the adoption again but directly introduced Zhou Qiao as his cousin.
In order to prevent Zhou Qiao from being able to integrate into Liu Guangqi's family because of his surname, and to prevent someone from following the name Zhou Qiao and finding out something they shouldn't, Qian Chongwen deliberately changed Zhou Qiao's surname when handling Zhou Qiao's fake identity. Became Liu.
"Hello, you are Qiao Qiao. I have long heard from Guang Qi that he has a very beautiful cousin. Now that I see it, it is absolutely true. She is even more beautiful than what he said. It was the first time we met. I have nothing to give you, just take this bracelet."
After knowing Zhou Qiao's identity, Li Aifang stepped forward and praised her, took off a bracelet from her hand and stuffed it into Zhou Qiao's hand.
"No, sister-in-law, I have it. Look, I have it."
Seeing how generous Li Aifang was, Zhou Qiao quickly declined.
「
What you have is yours. I gave it to you. If you don’t take it, I’ll be angry. "
"this"
Zhou Qiao looked at Liu Guangtian at a loss.
"Take it, I'll buy a pair for your sister-in-law later."
"Then you're welcome. This bracelet is really nice."
With Liu Guangtian's permission, Zhou Qiao was so happy that he took the bracelet.
"Since my brother and the others haven't come back yet, let me show you around first."
The two of them were Liu Guangqi who came to visit. Liu Guangqi was not here at the moment, and Liu Guangtian couldn't let Li Aifang freeze outside alone, so he took Li Aifang to his room.
"It's so hot. Why is it so hot? This stove is too good. It couldn't be something that's on fire."
As soon as she entered the door, Li Aifang felt a wave of heat hitting her face.
"It's not the stove, it's the heater."
"Heating? No way, your yard still has heating? We don't even have heating in our unit, you guys"
Li Aifang turned around and looked at Liu Guangtian in surprise.
"It's not a heating. My brother made a heating stove himself."
"Your brother can also make a heating stove, which is amazing.
"This is your room. You can't be so eager because you knew I was coming. Clean it up in advance. How can a boy's room be so clean?"
Li Aifang clicked her tongue and turned her attention to Liu Guangtian's room. Seeing the neat furnishings in Liu Guangtian's room, Li Aifang's eyes lit up. That woman doesn't like boys who are so clean. Although Liu Guangtian is usually neatly dressed and dressed refreshingly and cleanly, no one knows whether Liu Guangtian does one thing in front of him or another behind his back. Now that Liu Guangtian's room is so clean, she also It was a relief.
[In view of the general environment,
"How is that possible! You said you wanted to come to my house. How could I prepare in advance? I'm usually like this. Except for the sheets and quilts that were washed by my aunt, my brother and I cleaned the room every day."
"Really? I can't tell that you quite like to work. The furnishings in your house are quite interesting. There is even an attic."
Li Aifang nodded and randomly looked at Liu Guangtian's room. Liu Guangqi's room was not big and flat. There was a desk on the left after entering the door. Next to the desk was a bookshelf and a wardrobe. In the middle of the room was a small coffee table. On the opposite side was a small coffee table. There is a wooden sofa that can seat three people. On both sides of the sofa is a shoe cabinet and the other side is a bedside table. The bed is placed in the house and next to the stairs leading to the attic.
"There are many people in the family but few houses. My brother saw that the floor height of this house was high enough, so he built an attic on top. My brother's room next door was also like this. The entire back room was basically divided into two floors."
"The downstairs is so high, won't it be crowded if you hug me?"
"It's not crowded. The whole house is 5.4 meters, and the top and bottom are just right. Maybe the highest point at the top is higher than the bottom. Do you want to go up and have a look."
"No."
Although Li Aifang is also curious about what the attic looks like, the attic is her future brother-in-law's room after all. As a sister-in-law, she should not go in there. After all, she is not young at all. If she sees something, she shouldn't see too much. How embarrassing.
"If you don't want to see it, don't see it. Aifang, me"
A man and a woman were alone in the same room. Seeing Li Aifang's little face that was glowing red from the heat, Liu Guangtian couldn't help but become distraught. He walked up to Li Aifang and hugged Li Aifang, looking at Li Aifang affectionately.
"What do you want to do."
Feeling Liu Guangtian's hot breath on her face, Li Aifang's already red cheeks became even redder, even reaching her neck. Perhaps sensing Liu Guangtian's thoughts, he looked at Liu Guangtian with shy eyes and held the clothes on both sides tightly with both hands.
"I like you."
Liu Guangtian imitated the plot he saw in the TV series, and after expressing his affection, he kissed Li Aifang directly. Liu Guangtian's straightforward move directly
Li Aifang was so dizzy that after pushing twice but not pushing Liu Guangtian away, she fell into Liu Guangtian's sweet offensive.
"Goddess of Light, I heard from Qiao Er that you are back. Hey, you, hey, I didn't see anything, you continue, continue."
Just as the two were kissing passionately, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open by Liu Qiufang, who came to see his new wife, and saw the two of them hugging each other and gnawing at each other. Liu Qiufang quickly covered her eyes and retreated.
"It's all your fault. I'm so embarrassed this time. Oh, how can I see anyone soon?"
After Liu Guangtian's aunt ruined her good fortune, Li Aifang pinched Liu Guangtian hard, then covered her face and threw herself on the bed, wishing she could find a crack in the floor to crawl in.
"What are you afraid of? This is my aunt, not an outsider. There is nothing to be shy about. We are all adults. What's wrong with a kiss? We haven't done anything harmful."
Liu Guangtian said nonchalantly.
"That's your aunt, not my aunt. If she sees it, she will definitely think that I am a person who doesn't love myself."
"Oh, how could it be? My aunt is very open-minded. She won't look at you like that. Come on, I'll take you to the front to see her."
"I dont go."
Li Aifang lay on Liu Guangtian's quilt like an ostrich.
"Let's go. The ugly daughter-in-law still has to meet her parents-in-law. You can't live without seeing my aunt for the rest of your life."
After Liu Guangtian's persuasion, Li Aifang finally followed Liu Guangtian out. Then Liu Guangtian led him to Liu Qiufang's room in front.
"This girl is so beautiful and handsome. Come, aunt, give you a greeting gift."
After seeing Li Aifang, Liu Qiufang took Li Aifang's hand and praised her. After praising for a long time, she picked a gold bracelet from her hand and stuffed it into Li Aifang's hand.
"No, no, it's too expensive."
Seeing the big gold bracelet in her hand, Li Aifang quickly declined. It's not that Li Aifang was polite. If Liu Qiufang gave her the same silver bracelet as she gave to Zhou Qiao, she would have accepted it. After all, silver is not worth much. Money is as important as your heart.
But what Liu Qiufang gave her was a gold bracelet. This gold bracelet was worth more than a hundred yuan, which was basically enough to earn her three months' salary. How could she have the nerve to accept such a valuable thing?
"Take it, you gave Qiaoqiao a bracelet, I will give you a bracelet in return."
"How embarrassing."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just accept it quickly. I still have to cook for you. You're not allowed to leave at noon today. You must stay for a meal."
After speaking, Liu Qiufang walked towards the kitchen with the dried bacon, rabbit and pheasant.
"Here, Guangtian, why don't you return the bracelet to your aunt? This thing is too valuable."
Li Aifang looked at the bracelet with a carved dragon and phoenix in her hand, and then at Liu Guangtian.
"It's okay, just take it. This is what my aunt said."
"Stop it. Come on, I'll take you around this yard."
As soon as he put the bracelet on Li Aifang's wrist, Liu Guangtian took Li Aifang out. Except for Liu Qiufang and Sanjin's He Ruiyun, no one else in the courtyard was at home. Liu Guangqi, Qin Huairu and Chen Xueru were busy at work. , Bai Mei went home to accompany the old man.
After wandering around the three courtyards, Liu Guangtian took Li Aifang to Liu Guangqi's study. This place was originally allocated to Bai Hui by Liu Guangqi, but Bai Hui was used to living in the space, and she couldn't bear to leave Yunzi and Xu Huizhi. They rarely come out to live there, so this house gradually turned into a relatively open public space.
"What a big painting"
As soon as Li Aifang entered the door, she saw Liu Guangqi's 1.2 feet that he had begged from Master Huang. After the painting was sent back, Liu Guangqi sent it to Liulichang to find someone to fake it. Hanging in the most conspicuous place in this room.
"This is Huang Binhong, a painting by Master Huang. My brother liked him very much and requested ten paintings at once. This one is the largest."
"I know, my grandpa also likes Huang Binhong very much, and he has a few pairs at home, but they are not so big. Oh my God. The furniture here, I
Have you never seen it? Is this red sandalwood? "
Li Aifang nodded and turned her attention to the furniture. After all, every piece of furniture in this house exudes wealth.
"That's right, it's rosewood."
Liu Guangtian raised his chin and said proudly.
"There are so many red sandalwood and huanghuali, how much does it cost?"
Li Aifang covered her mouth and said in shock.
"It didn't cost much. These furnitures were all brought back by my brother from Liulichang, flea markets, and old houses. My brother is not only a doctor, he is also a master treasure appraiser. These things on the shelves are all My brother picked them up one by one. The most precious ones are this Ru kiln and that Ge kiln. My elder brother found both of them from the fragments and then repaired them."
Liu Guangtian said while holding the Ge Kiln brush wash that had been repaired by Liu Guangqi.
"Oh my God. Your big brother is so awesome."
Although the things Liu Guangqi placed in this study were not particularly precious, the number of them was enough, which still shocked Li Aifang.
"No, our family is what we are today because of my brother. My brother started making money when he was a teenager. He saved all these things little by little. Even the bracelet my aunt gave you was given by him."
"More than that, I've never heard of anyone more powerful than your brother. He can treat people, write songs, and identify treasures. He's so versatile."
Hearing Liu Guangtian's praise for Liu Guangqi, Li Aifang couldn't help but sigh.
"What is this? Standing in such a big place."
"Is this a sand table? Why is there such a thing in this room? Maybe your brother can still fight."
Li Aifang sighed while looking at the treasures in the room. As she walked, Li Aifang suddenly felt that she touched something. When she lowered her head, she found that it was actually a sand table.
Seeing this sand table, Li Aifang asked strangely. If Liu Guangqi was a soldier, it wouldn't be strange to have a sand table at home, but it would be a little strange to have a sand table in his study because Liu Guangqi was obviously a doctor.
