Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 239 Arrangement of the Courtyard

The next day, Xiaomai was still keen on buying New Year's goods. In her words, "I have to go to work on Monday and I don't have time."

He Lingting really didn't want the little girl to work so hard, he had already arranged all the details of each link, so the little girl didn't have to worry about it at all, but Xiaomai just enjoyed it, feeling tired but happy.

As soon as she woke up in the morning, Xiaomai pestered the uncle, "What should I buy today? Clothes? No, my parents and grandma haven't arrived yet, and I don't want the size to be wrong."

"Well, let's wait until they arrive!"

"Then let's go shopping for groceries today!"

"Silly girl, there are still so many days left. If you buy the vegetables so early, they will go bad by New Year's Eve." He Lingting said with a smile, touching the little girl's head.

"That's right, so what should I buy today? Uncle, can you help me think about what else we need at home?"

"You don't have to buy anything. Just rest at home today! You have to go to work tomorrow."

"But but time is very tight." Xiaomai is particularly looking forward to this year's Spring Festival, and she feels extremely happy just thinking about it.

"Come here, baby, let your husband hug you." He Lingting hugged Xiaomai and sat on the bed. He Lingting said, "Baby, your husband knows you are very happy, but you can't make yourself anxious! You see, we have everything at home, and my husband has ordered everything we don't have from abroad. You are so tired running around all the time, I really don't want you to be so hard-working."

“I don’t feel tired at all!”

"But you already look tired. If grandma and mom and dad see you so tired, will they come back to celebrate the New Year?"

"You are not allowed to tell them, do you hear me?" Xiao Mai pinched He Lingting's face and said threateningly.

"Okay, I won't tell you, but don't go out and mess around anymore. If you get too tired, the whole family will be worried."

"Well then! Then we can't miss this or that during the New Year!"

"No, whatever you think of, your husband will let you decide, okay?"

"Okay! Hey! It's good to have money! Everything can be solved by making a few phone calls. My grandma and I used to live in a small courtyard. Every Chinese New Year, my grandma would take me to the city to buy New Year's goods. Since there were only two of us, we didn't buy much and bought everything in one day. My grandma couldn't bear to eat the candies and left them all to me..." As Xiaomai spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's all over." He Lingting hugged Xiaomai and said comfortingly.

"Uncle, I actually miss those days. Although we were poor, my grandma and I were really happy. Life now is totally different from that time, but I will never forget my roots."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, as long as you're happy."

"By the way, uncle, grandma said she misses the courtyard. I miss it too. How about we go to the courtyard today?" Xiaomai suddenly thought of the courtyard and suggested it.

"Really want to go?"

"Well, we haven't been there since grandma was taken away by my parents. It's been almost half a year. I don't know how deserted the place is now."

"Okay, let's go check it out today and find someone to clean it up. We can go over there anytime when grandma comes back, okay?"

"Okay, that's great. Uncle, you've thought of it so carefully. Wait for a moment, I'll go change my clothes." Xiaomai said and ran to change her clothes.

He Lingting looked at the little girl's excitement and went to change his clothes. Then he called Ah San again, "Ah San."

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Find a few people to go to the suburban courtyard, clean it up, and decorate it nicely. Grandma is coming over for the Spring Festival."

"Okay, I'll take someone there now."

"My wife and I will go there later. I'll let her decide how to arrange it."

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Go!" After He Lingting gave instructions to Ah San, Xiaomai came out as soon as he hung up the phone.

"Let's go, uncle." Xiaomai wore a turtleneck sweater with a long woolen coat on the outside, thick black cigarette pants on the bottom, and a pair of short boots. She looked warm and not bulky.

Although the winter in Sucheng is not cold, He Lingting is still worried and said, "Wait, bring a scarf, it's cold in the courtyard."

"Okay!" Xiaomai ran back to the cloakroom and got a large and thick scarf.

So the two of them drove to the courtyard. When they arrived, Asan had already started cleaning with people.

"Hey, uncle, did you ask them to come? They are so fast." Xiaomai really admires Asan's execution ability.

"Well. You wait a while before going in! They will finish cleaning soon." He Lingting said as he pulled Xiaomai and stood in front of the courtyard gate.

"Okay then!" So the two of them sat in the car for a while, took a walk around the neighborhood, and when they came back, the yard had been cleaned.

As soon as Xiaomai entered the yard, she found everything was clean. The rooms and the living room were also spotless. It didn't look like anyone had lived there for a long time.

Xiaomai was looking around the room to see how it should be decorated, when Ah San came over and said, "My dear Madam, everything has been cleaned up, now you can decide how to decorate it!"

Xiaomai looked at it and really didn't know where to start, so he asked Ah San, "Do you have any suggestions? I really don't know."

After hearing this, Ah San handed Xiaomai a booklet full of sample pictures. Xiaomai was surprised and said, "They are so beautiful that I am dazzled."

"Well, Ah San, I just want to decorate the courtyard to make it cozier and more festive. In case grandma wants to come back and stay for a night, it would be nice to have a comfortable environment!"

"I understand. Leave it to me then! You can come and inspect it when it's done."

"There's no need for acceptance. I trust you." Xiaomai really likes Asan's vision. The design of the nest is really great.

"Okay then!" After saying that, Asan took the workers to start the arrangements. Xiaomai and He Lingting watched in the yard for a while but couldn't help much.

"Uncle, why don't we go back? We are wasting their time here. Let's come back another day!"

"Okay, let's go!" He Lingting took the little girl and drove away...

It was already dark when we returned to the city. There were many vendors selling candies on the streets in the downtown area. Xiaomai then realized that today must be the Little New Year!

"Uncle, please stop in front. Today is the Little New Year. I want to eat some candy."

"Okay." He Ting pulled the car over, then drove out to buy two bags of candy. "Here, eat it!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Xiaomai happily ate a small piece, it was really sweet, she took another piece and put it into He Lingting's mouth, "Sweet, right? Let's do some decoration, too."

The two of them were about to go home after eating the stove candy when Xiaomai suddenly said, "Uncle, let's go to the old house!"

"why?"

"We Chinese people attach the most importance to the Chinese New Year, especially the older generation. In their minds, the New Year comes after the Little New Year. You can imagine how lonely my grandparents must be in their old house today because it is the Little New Year! Let's go and accompany them!" Xiaomai is like this. She cares about everyone who is good to her.

"Okay, you are a filial granddaughter-in-law, let's go to the old house." He Lingting was also very filial, but he was not as delicate as the little girl. After hearing what the little girl said, he also missed his grandparents.

"Let's go! Grandpa and grandma will be very happy to see us."

"Yes."

The two of them didn't waste any more time and went straight to the old house.
