On the other side, my mother explained the relationship between the two in front of her with black lines, lest Betty misunderstand and eat inexplicable flying vinegar.

"The girl in the down jacket is called Linlin, the daughter of Ye Tian's second uncle, who went to college in Beijing, and the relationship between their brother and sister is very good.

Linlin's parents are both doctors, they are very busy with work, and they also lived in this courtyard when they were children, except for their grandparents, they lost Xiaotian to take her the most, and this little girl is also very sticky Xiaotian!"

"Their brother and sister relationship is so good, I'm a little envious!"

Betty chuckled and whispered, her eyes fixed on the two guys in front of her.

"Brother, you're so annoying, you hit people's heads as soon as you meet, forget it this time, if you dare to hit my head again in the future, I will definitely be anxious with you!

Even if I can't beat you, I can still let my aunt clean you up, and if I can't have grandparents, I don't believe I can't cure your stinky disease!"

Linlin was still struggling, constantly saying cruel words.

"What's wrong with growing up? What's wrong with going to college? In my eyes, you'll always be the little girl who follows my ass and drags her snot, and she has a little tail!

Besides, what do you look like when you're a big girl, and you're in a hot house all day long? What's the matter? Just like you, I'm really worried about your future!"

Ye Tian continued to tease his sister, and did his best to show his poisonous tongue skills.

After saying this, he let go of his sister's right arm, and at the same time quickly took two steps back, in case this little girl was annoyed and angry, and turned her hands to perform the magic of scratching people.

"Ahhh

Lin Lin jumped to her feet and shouted, but there was nothing she could do about Ye Tian.

In desperation, she could only rush to her mother's side, holding her mother's arm and complaining unrelentingly.

"Auntie, if you look at my brother, you know that he bullied me, and you don't care, just because he caused those troubles in the United States, he is embarrassed to say that I am so thick-skinned!"

"Hahaha, you two are living ancestors, who can control it!"

Mom laughed and said, happy and happy.

Immediately afterwards, my mother immediately changed the topic.

"Linlin, this is Betty, your brother's girlfriend, her home is from Boston, USA, Betty, this is Ye Tian's cousin, her name is Ye Beilin"

"Good evening, Linlin, it's 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, compared to you on the video screen, you are sexier and more beautiful in reality, my brother is really lucky!"

Linlin's English is very slippery, and a series of beautiful words are immediately sent.

In the blink of an eye, the two beauties of China and abroad have become one, like best friends who grew up together!

"Let's go home, your grandfather should have heard the sound at the door."

Dad pointed to the gate of the courtyard and said, and took the lead into this ancient courtyard.

Behind him, Mom and Betty walked in closely, and finally Ye Tian and Raymond were pushing the luggage.

When everyone walked into the gate, Ye Tian stopped, turned around and closed the courtyard door.

Then it's a good time to enjoy family affection, and don't bother with anything!

......

Bypassing the shadow wall at the end of the doorway, passing through a newly repaired hanging flower gate, a simple and neat small courtyard house is presented in front of everyone.

The first thing you see is a boxy, blue-brick courtyard, about sixty or seventy square meters, which is unconventionally tidy.

There are more than 20 flower pots on the ground and a few wrought iron flower stands on the side of the courtyard, but it is the middle of winter, and the flowers and plants in the flower pots have withered, which is a little bleak.

But it is conceivable that when spring comes, these flowers and plants will be rejuvenated, blooming, and competing for beauty, bringing spring to this small courtyard.

In the northeast corner of the courtyard, stands a tall persimmon tree, which is decades old.

In spring and summer, its lush foliage effectively blocks the direct sunlight, bringing a full house of coolness to this courtyard, which is extremely pleasant!

In late autumn, the red lantern-like persimmons will hang all over the branches, giving people a feeling of infinite autumn and full of poetry and picturesqueness.

At this moment, the persimmon tree is bare, with only one branch that is completely bare and piercing the sky, although it lacks vitality, but it smells a little strong.

Under the persimmon tree, there is a medium-sized fish tank with a diameter of eighty or ninety centimeters.

The fish tank is gray-black, placed on a grinding disc base, very stable, and the tank body is carved with auspicious patterns, with a mottled appearance and a bit of historical charm.

Standing on the steps of the Hanging Flower Gate, tiptoe slightly, you can vaguely see the shadows of goldfish swimming comfortably in the fish tank, adding a bit of smart color to the small courtyard!

Due to the special architectural pattern of the courtyard houses in Beijing, each closed courtyard house will form a relatively independent microclimate.

In summer, the temperature in the courtyard is generally a few degrees lower than on the street outside, which is not so hot, and if there is a canopy and shade in the yard, it will be cooler and more pleasant!

In the winter when the north wind is howling, the relatively closed structure of the courtyard will keep the cold wind out and keep the small courtyard from being so 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, and there is basically no need to worry that the water will freeze and the goldfish will freeze to death!

Except, of course, for extreme weather.

After entering the modern society, people who love fish farming do not have to worry about this problem, and there are 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, and there are several stone drums and round benches around the stone table, which is quite ancient.

In Ye Tian's eyes, they were indeed a few antiques with a history of more than 180 years, radiating a dazzling red light, although their value was quite average.

This set of stone tables and stone benches is a place for grandpa to play chess with old friends in the alley, and it is also a place for family members to chat and chat, which is very practical.

In the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is a small house with a cover, which is slightly out of harmony with the overall style of the courtyard.

This is the house that was built after the earthquake, and it has been there since Ye Tian can remember, and it is the kitchen of the family.

In addition, there are some other things scattered in the courtyard, but they are not cluttered, but they make this courtyard a little more lifelike and more intimate.

Directly north of the courtyard are three spacious and bright north rooms facing south, which are also the main rooms, and the brightly lit and radiating light seems to bring a warm feeling.

These three main rooms are used by grandparents, and the one in the center is the decision-making center of the family.

On the left and right sides are the east and west wings, each with two rooms, the steps are slightly lower than the main house, and the windows are also bright and brightly lit.

When he was a child, Ye Tian's family lived in the east wing, and his uncle's family lived in the west wing opposite.

On the same side as the Hanging Flower Gate, there are two south rooms, also called inverted seats, which are the guest rooms of the family, and used to be the boudoir of the sister-in-law.

Although this is an old courtyard house with a long history, you can see the traces left by the years everywhere, but it is very well maintained, it is an excellent residence, and it is a warm home!

The people who came in from the Hanging Flower Gate instantly had a general understanding of this courtyard.

However, this is not everyone's concern.

What everyone cares about is the people who live in this small courtyard, that is the reason for the existence of this courtyard, and that is the reason why it is haunting.

Because of the flowers and goldfish, this place is full of vitality and aura, because of family affection, it is full of warmth and touching, which makes people yearn for it infinitely!

Ye Tian stood on the steps of the Hanging Flower Gate, his emotions were extremely excited, and his breathing became much shorter.

His eyes were fixed on the door of the main room, and he was reluctant to move away for a moment, tears had already appeared in his eyes, and they could flow down his cheeks at any time!

On the steps at the entrance of the north room, two seventy or eighty-year-old and energetic old men stood side by side, smiling, looking at Ye Tian on the side of the Hanging Flower Gate, their eyes full of love!

Don't ask, this is Ye Tian's grandparents, he wants to kneel down and kowtow a few people for him,

Next to the grandparents, as well as elsewhere in the yard, there were several people standing scattered, large and small, including second uncles, second aunts, aunts, uncles, and younger brothers and sisters.

Without exception, everyone in the courtyard looked at Ye Tian who was standing at the door of the weeping flowers, and everyone had the brightest smile on their faces.

"Hiss——!"

Ye Tianchang took a breath of cold air and used it to suppress his boiling emotions slightly.

In 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.

"Honey, that's my grandparents in front, let's go over!"
