Early the next morning, Lin Dingqiang got up to help Xin Qing prepare breakfast.

Sleeping on the sofa seems to have become a daily routine for this billionaire, but Lin Dingqiang didn't feel anything wrong, not in the same bed, naturally there was a lot less crooked thoughts in his heart.

He warmed a glass of milk for Xin Qing, and after adding three or five slices of toast and an omelette, he knocked on the bedroom door, "Are you up?"

"Up. Xin Qing responded lazily, she opened the door in her pajamas, yawned and asked, "Are we going out to play today?"

Xin Qing's condition is stable now, as long as it is not a strenuous exercise, it is fine, Lin Dingqiang handed Xin Qing the toothbrush that had squeezed the toothpaste, and asked rhetorically, "Where do you want to go?"

Xin Qing walked into the bathroom with a smile, and said while brushing her teeth: "You once promised me one thing, do you remember?"

Lin Ding raised his eyebrows lightly, and secretly calculated in his heart. Now it has been more than a month since time rewind, and there is only one thing he promised Xin Qing.

"Yes. ”

"What?" Xin Qing asked expectantly.

Lin Dingqiang said slowly: "I once said that there will be a birthday present every month before your birthday. Last time it was the Phantom, what do you want this time?"

Xin Qing looked at Lin Dingqiang with a starry glance, she didn't expect that the man in front of her would remember this promise no matter how busy he was.

"Ahem, then I'm going to make a request!"

Lin Dingqiang leaned against the door, raised his hand and said, "Please speak." ”

"I want you to do 99 things with me. Xin Qing's eyes narrowed into a straight line, "This is my gift this month." ”

Lin Dingqiang laughed, "Your request is full of 99 things, it's a good deal!"

"Are you willing!" Xin Qing stomped her foot coquettishly.

"Okay. Lin Dingqiang nodded, "You wash up first, and when you finish eating, I will accompany you." ”

"Good. ”

After the two finished breakfast, they drove the calf out of the door.

Xin Qing didn't say where to start her journey of 99 things, but silently drove the car and took Lin Dingqiang to the place that had been planned a long time ago.

After the calf entered the second ring road, it could be regarded as truly entering the capital.

There are preserved alleys and courtyard houses, as well as a lingering miscellaneous courtyard feeling that allows the development of the times.

Xin Qing parked the car and leaned against the side of the car with a smile, "Then let's start with this matter." ”

Lin Dingqiang looked at the familiar alley, and asked curiously, "What's interesting here?"

Xin Qing took two steps forward and said slowly: "It's been a few months since I went back to the capital, but from the very beginning of work, to the later classes, and now to the pregnancy, I don't have time to take a good look at the city. Now that I'm free, I want to see the place where my parents once struggled, and feel the shortcomings of parents in the alley. So, the first thing I want you to do with me is to visit the hutongs of the capital. ”

99% of the hutongs in the capital are miscellaneous courtyards, and the remaining 1% are courtyard houses.

It was and still is a difficult thing to push a bicycle into the hospital. However, with the development of the times, the bicycle that was originally a symbol of wealth has long been replaced by various luxury cars, but what has not changed is the buildings that have remained here for thousands of years.

When Lin Dingqiang was young, anyone in the courtyard farted to know which one made the noise, and under the faucet in the summer, in addition to watermelons, there were also children drinking cold water.

But now, it seems that no parent wants their children to drink cold water from the tap pipe.

The two of them strolled through the alley, and from time to time they could see the old men sitting at the mouth of the alley teasing the birds and playing chess, some of them were holding enamel tea jars that they had drunk for decades, and some were holding a pot and scolding in their mouths: "Stinky chess basket." ”

Xin Qing seemed to enjoy the process of such a stroll, she looked at the scenery in front of her, and asked curiously, "Lao Lin, I want to ask a question." But don't be angry. ”

Lin Dingqiang shrugged, "You ask." ”

"I remember the first time we met, you said you were a native of Beijing. Xin Qing stopped, put her hands behind her back and asked, "After your uncle and aunt are gone, who will take care of you?

Lin Dingqiang said truthfully: "After my mother and father left, I was taken care of by the uncles and aunts in the miscellaneous courtyard, especially Aunt Liu's family. Fortunately, my parents left me a place to live, so I didn't live on the streets. ”

"You still have a house?"

"Yes, not much. Lin Dingqiang paused, and then said: "About 15 square meters." I remember that there was a big banyan tree in the middle of the house, right in the middle of the chase shop. As a child, I often fell asleep and hugged the trunk of the tree while I was asleep. ”

Xin Qing thought it was Lin Dingqiang's nonsense to make her laugh, "There is a tree in the middle of the house?"

"That's right!" Lin Dingqiang nodded firmly, "According to my father, that house was built illegally in the courtyard by my grandfather's generation. In order to build this house, I quarreled with the surrounding two families. In the end, I had no choice but to build such a house under the banyan tree and marry my grandmother. Then my parents got married there, and then I had me. ”

Xin Qing looked at Lin Dingqiang's serious appearance, and knew that he was not joking, "Is that house still there?"

"It should be in. Lin Dingqiang shrugged, "But it should also belong to someone else." At the beginning, I needed money for school and life, and I remember that the banyan tree house was sold for less than 30,000 yuan. And I used the money to go through to high school. ”

Xin Qing frowned slightly, "So cheap?"

"That's right!"

"Then you're at a loss!" Xin Qing said regretfully: "Now the worst here is 100,000 square meters, right?"

Lin Dingqiang laughed with relief, "No one thought that housing prices would rise faster than rockets take off!"

Xin Qing dragged her chin and said thoughtfully: "If time can be turned back, I will definitely go back to buy a house!" and then be a charter wife and live happily for a lifetime." ”

Lin Dingqiang's heart chuckled, although he knew that Xin Qing was talking about the vision in his heart, but he himself had really experienced such an experience, "There is no time to turn back in this world, it is better to live in the present." ”

"I'm just talking about it, and of course I know there's no going back in time. Xin Qing smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go inside." ”

Before the two of them took a few steps, Lin Dingqiang's phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Huo Jinwei calling.

"What's wrong?"

"You two aren't in the apartment?" Huo Jinwei asked.

"No, it's outside. Lin Dingqiang turned on the speakerphone and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing. Shanshan went to kindergarten, and finally got free, so I thought about asking the two of you to come and sit at home. Huo Jinwei invited: "By the way, I will give you Xiaolei's housewarming gift, I forgot last time." ”

Lin Xin and the two glanced at each other, and Xin Qing replied, "Okay, let's come over here." ”

"Do you care about the rice?" Lin Dingqiang asked jokingly.

Huo Jinwei giggled: "Tube!
