Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 402
Since the hutong is not too wide, if the car is driven in, it would affect the neighbors coming and going by bicycle, so Su Jingsong parked the car at the entrance of the hutong.
Han Jingchen got out of the car first: "Yanyan, walk this way."
Seeing his daughter coming over, he pointed to the entrance of the hutong in front: "From the main road outside, enter the second hutong entrance, there’s an ancient pagoda tree there, which is very easy to remember."
He Jinxuan followed them silently, serving as the background, but he also thought the environment here was genuinely nice. The inside and outside of the hutong were very clean, making it very pleasant to look at.
The house Han Jingchen bought for Xinyan was the third house from the entrance of the hutong, so they didn’t have to go too far in: "Yanyan, this is it."
When they came in, the craftsmen were busy working. Seeing the house owner arrive, the leading person in charge hurried over: "Mr. Han, just one more day, and the work will be almost done. See if it suits your taste."
Han Jingchen looked at Xinyan beside him: "Yanyan, see if anything else needs to be changed?"
Xinyan liked the place as soon as she entered. The courtyard wasn’t too big but was very exquisite, and on the pomegranate tree by the courtyard wall, attractive pomegranates were hanging, quite large and really delightful.
Xinyan walked around the courtyard before entering the house.
The three main rooms, with the middle one serving as a living room, had a sofa and a coffee table. The east room had a bed, with a dressing cabinet beside it.
A desk was placed by the window, with a table lamp ready on it. Inside was a standing cabinet with doors on either side and a large glass mirror in the middle, giving it a very vintage feel.
The room on the west had a newly built heated bed, but Xinyan didn’t see the fire-hole for heating it.
Perhaps Han Jingchen noticed her confusion, he smiled and explained: "The place for heating the bed is in the kitchen. I had the craftsmen make fire walls for all these three main rooms. In winter, removing the blocking bricks will let the heat through, and in summer, putting them back will block it."
There were also cabinets in the room, but not standing ones. It was a style where one side was a wardrobe, and the other was connected to a desk, but on top of the desk was a mirror as tall as the cabinet beside it. Two small shelves were also made below to put small items, and there were three drawers below the desk, which was quite practical.
After looking, Xinyan was very satisfied: "Dad, everything is great."
Han Jingchen was the first to step out of the house, thinking about the vegetable garden in the backyard: "Yanyan, let’s take a look at the backyard."
Xinyan looked at the courtyard: "Does this house have a backyard?"
It’s no wonder she didn’t notice. There were side rooms on both sides of the courtyard, and she really couldn’t tell where the back could be accessed.
Han Jingchen took a step toward the kitchen, and inside, at the back, there was a door: "You can go through here."
Xinyan went over to check and found a path that was less than a meter wide leading to the backyard.
The backyard was a different scene, with various vegetables in the garden growing lushly and abundantly, looking very pleasing.
The two came back from the backyard, and Xinyan then took a closer look at the kitchen. In the corner against the wall was a larger iron stove, which seemed to be connected to the heated bed and fire walls in the main rooms. This likely cost quite a bit of money, and in winter, one can also cook directly on this stove.
On the other side, there was not only a beehive coal stove but also a bottled liquefied gas single stove, which is quite a novelty these days. Other kitchen utensils were also fully prepared. In this courtyard, she could move in with her bags directly.
Seeing He Jinxuan looking over: "Jinxuan, what do you think, this courtyard is pretty good, right? Now you don’t have to worry."
He Jinxuan saw her smiling brightly and also curved his lips into a smile: "Hmm, it’s quite nice. This courtyard gives a very leisurely feeling."
Han Jingchen, hearing He Jinxuan’s words, lifted his eyes and looked over, thinking: At least this guy knows how to talk.
Han Jingchen had naturally had someone investigate He Jinxuan’s family situation thoroughly, and he was also well aware of He Jinxuan’s relationship with his family. Since He Jinxuan was not an indecisive person, Han Jingchen decided not to interfere.
But he just couldn’t stand the way that guy looked at his daughter. What to do?
