I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 551 It's like a handicraft made by the two of us
Qin Jingru went forward and knocked on the door. Soon a clear female voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

At this time, Qin Huairu had already walked to the door pushing her bicycle and answered loudly: "It's me, Qin Huairu."

The voice in the yard was slightly surprised, and soon there was a response, "Xiao Qiu, go help mom open the door."

The courtyard gate opened, and a boy about seven or eight years old stood inside, looking at Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru outside the door with curiosity.

Qin Huairu only took one look at the boy and was already very sure in her heart that this was definitely Song Wu's child. He looked exactly like his brothers and sisters, with perhaps a slight difference in his eyebrows and eyes.

Qin Huairu put on a smile and asked softly, "Is your name Xiaoqiu?"

The boy nodded happily: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Song Xiaoqiu. Are you looking for my mother?"

Qin Huairu nodded: "Is your mother Ran Qiuye?"

The boy gave her a big smile, "Yes. She is busy working in the yard. Her hands are covered in mud. Let me help open the door. Auntie, please come in."

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru looked at each other. She saw Qin Jingru winking and making faces at her, so she glared at her unhappily.

Entering the yard, Qin Huairu felt like she was entering a small garden.

The gate of this courtyard is located at the southeast end of the entire courtyard. As soon as you enter the gate, you will be next to the blue brick wall. Opposite the gate is a snow-white screen wall with a big red Chinese knot hanging on it. The most impressive thing is the dense green bamboo.

Judging from the layout, this yard should be a small secondary courtyard with a width of about five rooms.

In addition to the courtyard gate, there are four back houses on the left. The small courtyard outside has become a small garden full of bamboo. Even the second entrance is hidden among the green bamboo leaves.

At this time, Ran Qiuye was washing her hands by a small pool. Judging from the mud on her hands and feet, and the small pile of bamboo shoots next to her, she was probably digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

Ran Qiuye turned her head and smiled brightly, looking at Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru with surprise.

After Qin Jingru saw Ran Qiuye, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Another person who hasn't changed much. He seems to be younger than when we first met a few years ago."

"Huai Ru, I didn't expect you two sisters to come. It's really a surprise."

Qin Huairu smiled and said frankly without hiding anything: "I just heard from Jingru today that Xu Damao saw you and Xiaoqiu go to the movies a few days ago, and when she came back she imitated you and said that Xiaoqiu looked like Xiaoqing, so I immediately couldn't sit still."

Ran Qiuye blushed slightly, a little embarrassed, but soon she looked at Qin Huairu openly again and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiu is Song Wu's child, and she is 5 years old this year."

Qin Huairu didn't show any surprise, as it was already certain. She turned her head to look at Song Xiaoqiu standing next to her, reached out her hand and gently touched his little head, smiling and saying, "The little guy is tall and strong. When can you take him to play in Yard 95? His brothers and sisters are all there." Ran Qiuye nodded with a red face. She had washed her hands at this time, and while wiping them, she said to Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru, "Let's go sit inside."

Only when I entered the second gate did I know what a quiet and elegant courtyard was. This small courtyard is not big, and due to renovation and decoration, it is completely unrecognizable from its original appearance. Only the general layout and the basic appearance of the house can be seen.

The small courtyard was able to display the elegance of a small bridge, flowing water, pavilions and towers, which really surprised Qin Huairu.

She couldn't help but ask, "This yard is so beautiful. It feels like a big park has been moved into such a small yard."

Ran Qiuye looked happy and smiled as she said, "These are all what I thought of. I drew the pattern and asked Song Wu to help me make them bit by bit. Of course, the flowers, grass, and small details were all done by me. I haven't done anything else for so many years, just tinkering with the yard here. This is like a handicraft made by the two of us. Anyway, I am very satisfied and happy to live here."

Qin Huairu couldn't help but complain in her heart, "I don't know how Song Wu has so much time every day. I've never seen him so diligent over there, but he actually built such a beautiful yard here. No, I have to build one too. I'll ask him to do it for me tomorrow."

She was not polite to Ran Qiuye. She felt a little envious and jealous, but she didn't hide it in her heart. She said directly: "This is the first time I found that Song Wu has such leisure and diligence. I have never seen him tinker with the yard and house over there. Even the small yards on East 42nd Street were left there without any care. Alas, it can be seen that attitudes vary from person to person."

Ran Qiuye waved his hands and said, "It's not like that. It's mainly because I have nothing to do and I drag him to do it every day. He is also very annoyed. But I have to admit that he is very skillful. Xiaoqiu is quite like him in this respect."

At this point, Ran Qiuye laughed. "Now we just need Xiaoqiu and I to cooperate, there is no need for Song Wu to intervene. For small things, we can design and make them together, and we work very well together."

If someone else said this, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru would definitely not believe it, but since it involves someone with the surname Song, there is nothing strange about it.

Song Xiaofeng's head is full of fantastic ideas all day long. The things he makes are getting more and more magical and incredible. He is a genius in electronics and mechanics. But he went to Hong Kong two years ago. I don't know if he has come up with anything shocking recently?
Gao Xiaomiao also went to Hong Kong with him to find her master Huizhen. According to Song Wu, her medical skills were not much worse than when Huizhen left Beijing.

Her son, Song Xiaoqing, is so enviable that he has almost learned everything she knows. He also likes to read ancient books and study ancient recipes and traditional food culture every day. He is currently studying "Dream of Red Mansions".

He planned to try to make all kinds of dishes, wines and snacks from the book "Dream of Red Mansions".

Xiya's daughter, Song Xiaoya, was extremely talented in art and was proficient in everything from playing the zither to chess, calligraphy and painting. Her mother could only surpass her in making the guqin, but she could no longer compete with her in other aspects.

Now Song Xiaoqiu’s situation has happened again, so it’s not surprising at all.

At this time, Ran Qiuye also said proudly: "Xiaoqiu is very interested in architecture and garden design. So my mother and I have been thinking about these things over the years. Oh, by the way. Is Huairu here to visit casually today, or is there something?"

Qin Huairu finally recovered from the shock brought by the elegant courtyard in front of her. She smiled at Ran Qiuye and said, "Come here to visit is the most important thing, and it is also reasonable to talk about things. I was not sure about this matter before, but now that I see this courtyard, I do have an idea. Let's go inside and sit down and talk slowly."

She was not polite at all, and really treated them as a family. Ran Qiuye didn't feel awkward, and felt it was very natural. Only Qin Jingru felt a little awkward.
