After eating, the three brothers of Sun Yiping took Yu Panpan and Lu Runhe to the courtyard for a turn: the Sun family's house is a two-entry quadrangle, a total of more than 20 houses, two old people with three grandsons live in the backyard, the front yard lives their son, and the guest room is also in the front yard, but the room prepared for Yu Panpan is in the backyard, that is, she is not treated as a guest, which makes Yu Panpan respect the old couple even more; The back garden covers a large area, but except for a small piece of plum blossoms, other flowers and trees are bare, and even the pond is also frozen.

Before leaving, Professor Sun gave her a passbook and two remittance slips: "Master doesn't keep you, Old Man Lu is at home alone all the year round, he must be very lonely, these days accompany the old man at home, give him a good body condition, after the school starts, come to Master at any time, the room is prepared for you, you can live whenever you want, the money in this passbook is left over from buying a house, I haven't had time to collect the manuscript fee, since you are here, you will get it yourself." ”

Finally, he took out a bunch of keys, saying that it was the key to her house, and sent Sun Yiping to take them to see the house and send them off, Professor Zhang took Yu Panpan's hand and wanted to keep her for one night, but was forcibly pulled into the house by Professor Sun: "It is a big deal for her to recuperate for Mr. Lu's body, and she can't interrupt it at will. ”

Sun Yiping pointed at Yu Panpan: "Little aunt, you are a cow, you can afford such a good house at a young age, if you go into the mountains to collect medicine or something in the future, you will also be counted as a nephew." Sun Yiping had seen the house, and his grandparents took them to clean the house.

"Do you want your aunt to leave you a room?"

"That's not necessary, your place is not far from home, but it's only five minutes away, it's not good to live with you, but if there are any special circumstances, my little aunt will have to take me in." Sun Yiping winked at her.

Yu Panpan liked it at first sight when he saw the house: a two-and-a-half-story villa, the first floor has two large and small living rooms, two main and two four bedrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a storage room, the second floor has two main and four six bedrooms, two studyes, two living rooms and a public bathroom, the third floor is half an attic, half is a rooftop, the basement is divided into three parts, a wine cellar, a storage room and a fitness room, the whole floor is paved with wooden floors except for the kitchen and bathroom, and there are eighty percent new, it should be new in the first two years, In addition, all bedrooms have bathrooms and all rooms have furniture.

The front yard is a large lawn, and in addition to the steel gate facing the street, there are a row of bungalows where the staff live, and there are as many as six rooms, which were added later; The backyard is a big garden, although except for a few plum trees, a few osmanthus trees and a few begonia trees, everything else has withered, and the pond is only left with ice, but Yu Panpan likes it very much, because the area is large enough, she can grow medicine, vegetables, and fruit trees here, and the most gratifying thing is that there is a glass flower room, although it is empty, but it is well preserved.

"This yard covers such a large area, what a waste." Lu Runhe sighed.

"This house is for foreign experts, otherwise I don't know how many houses will be built in it over the years." Sun Yiping said that he had seen the courtyards allocated to the common people, which were full of local towers and buildings of various sizes.

"Yes, foreigners are honorable." Yu Panpan has seen the admiration of later generations, as if as long as he dips the word "foreign", his worth will increase a lot, otherwise he would not be a first-class foreigner and a second-class official.

"Little aunt, there are fireplaces in both living rooms, it seems that you need to prepare some firewood, and we will all stay with you when it is cold." Sun Yiping said with a smile that the winter in this imperial capital is really cold, which makes them very uncomfortable living in the south since childhood.

"Let's come here for the winter in the future, and in a few days, we will go to the mountains together to chop wood and prepare for the winter fire."

"That's a good proposal, little uncle, you don't have an opinion."

"No, I'm more relieved to have you with me." Lu Runhe thought to himself, with them, the house would be lively, he didn't have to worry that Panpan was too lonely at home alone, otherwise, Panpan lived alone in such a big house, and he felt empty.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Panpan, Lu Runhe said goodbye to Sun Yiping: they had to go back to prepare dinner, Sister-in-law He went on strike last night, and she wouldn't not do dinner today, but I was afraid that she would be perfunctory and make some food that the old man didn't like.

Sitting in the car, Yu Panpan took out ten catties of oranges, five catties of citron, two chickens, a basket of eggs and a jar of medicinal wine from the space, plus the return gift of the Sun family, and the two of them drove back with large bags and small bags.

"We left the first floor to grandpa, and let him go over to live for a while when it was lukewarm, but it was too far to work, otherwise he wouldn't be so lonely when he lived here." Yu Panpan thought that the old man lived alone, and he couldn't bear it.

"In the future, you will go home more often to accompany him." Lu Runhe also regretted it in his heart, but he had no choice but to work hard and panpan to run at both ends, fortunately grandpa likes her, and panpan also likes grandpa, otherwise he will be even more sad.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to find time to go back." The old man is just their two relatives, and his grandson is out of town, who will accompany him if she doesn't go?

When Yu Panpan and they returned to Lu's house, the old man had already returned, and there was a guest who was rubbing the rice: the old man's little apprentice, Lu Run and their fifth brother Qi Mingfei, who were only twenty years old this year.

"The fifth brother is here, this is your third sister-in-law, Yu Panpan, this is the fifth brother Qi Mingfei." Lu Runhe introduced them.

Qi Mingfei's father used to be the old man's guard, and after being wounded, he transferred to work in the arsenal, and now he is the director of an arsenal, Qi Mingfei is the youngest child in the family, three years ago, in order to protect love, he insisted on accompanying his childhood sweetheart to the countryside, but after his little childhood plum went to the countryside, with his deep scheming, good conversation and beautiful appearance, he soon hooked up with the son of the local county magistrate, jumped out of the farm, and hit Qi Mingfei with a huge blow, depressed for a long time, after all, he was militarized for a long time, Coupled with the beating of the elders and the comfort of his brothers and sisters, he finally came out of the shadows, and after getting the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, he studied hard and was admitted to the law department of Q University.

"The third sister-in-law is good, thank you for the third sister-in-law for healing the third brother's leg." Qi Mingfei stood up and bowed respectfully towards Yu Panpan.

"Hello fifth brother, this is what I should do." Yu Panpan was taken aback, he didn't expect Qi Ming to fly to such a place, so he quickly avoided it, "I'm younger than you, let's call each other by name in the future." ”

"You call me by my name, but I still call you the third sister-in-law." Qi Mingfei also felt weird to be called a younger brother by a little girl.
