Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

The decorating masters also knew that Lin Geng was a big boss with plenty of money. He was not stingy at all and would not cheat those of them who made money with their skills. As long as they worked hard for him and followed his requirements, Lin Geng would never delay their wages. If they did a good job or the deadline was tight and they completed the project ahead of schedule, he would give them more money as a reward.

Therefore, the decorator worked very hard for Lin Geng. He selected the best materials and performed the necessary procedures without any laziness, and completed the work quickly and beautifully.

Yu Li was very happy and concerned about moving to a new home. She would come to check on the progress of the project every now and then, and was looking forward to moving into the new home with great joy.

When the weather turned cold again in 1982, the courtyard was finally completed and had ventilation. Lin used his connections to customize a boiler for heating and got a set of radiators. He installed heating in the house so that they no longer had to sleep on a kang in winter and could sleep on a soft bed. The Lin family officially moved out of Courtyard No. 95 and moved into their new home.

When Lin Geng moved, the remaining residents in the yard took leave to help, congratulated Lin Geng, and were extremely envious. They followed Lin Geng to visit his new home, and they were so envious that tears almost flowed from their mouths.

After being renovated and decorated, even the courtyard wall was rebuilt with old bricks. Although it is a restoration to keep the old appearance and the bricks and tiles are still old, the renovation still makes the courtyard look brand new, and it looks antique and elegant.

After entering the house, I found that the decoration inside the house was also very nice, all in Chinese style. Some of the windows were old-fashioned windows with double-glazed windows.

All the rooms where people live have suspended ceilings, making the rooms bright and comfortable. The furniture is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and all are high-end goods. Some of the furniture, even, Yan Bugui, who knows a little about the industry, took a closer look and was surprised to find that they were actually Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, all made of mahogany. The most valuable ones are red sandalwood and huanghuali, and they have all been restored and refurbished. At a glance, you can tell that they are of great value.

In short, everyone who has seen Lin Gengxin's house is extremely envious. Some old neighbors who have now moved into buildings, after visiting the Lin family, suddenly feel that the buildings they live in are not so nice. Compared with the courtyard house of the Lin family's new home, they feel that their buildings are simply like pigeon cages, there is no comparison, no comparison at all.

The three children of the Lin family were each assigned a room of their own, which made them very happy. They cheered and shouted, rushed into their own rooms, and rolled on the beds, shouting with joy.

Lin Geng also brought Yu's father and mother over and arranged a spacious room for them. Now that the children are grown up and no longer need them to take care of them, he let them come and live with Lin Geng and his wife in their old age.

After visiting, Yu's father and mother were overjoyed and a little embarrassed to come over. However, after Lin Geng's persuasion, they finally decided to move in and live with Lin Geng and his wife.

After Lin Geng moved into the new house, he ordered a few dishes at Pinweixuan, invited some good friends to his home for a meal, and then invited Lao Liu and Aunt Zhang to come over, hoping that they would come here and stay for a few days when they had nothing to do.

After seeing Lin Geng’s new home, Old Liu and Aunt Zhang liked it very much, so they agreed to come and stay for a while often. They really liked the environment here, and they knew that Yu’s father and mother had also moved here, so it would be more lively if they came over.

Just before the Chinese New Year at the end of 1982, Lin was about to sit down and think carefully about what investments he was going to make next year. When he was about to take advantage of this rare opportunity to continue to roll up his sleeves and work hard, there was a knock on the office door.

Lin Geng thought it was one of his employees, or Xu Damao or Sha Zhu, who came to see him, so he didn't even raise his eyelids and casually called out, "Come in!"

His office door was pushed open and a man walked in. Lin Geng instinctively raised his eyes and glanced towards the office door, and then his face was replaced with an expression of surprise, joy and astonishment.

Because a pretty face that had appeared in his dreams countless times was now standing inside the door, looking at him with a smile but tears in her eyes, and her eyes also revealed deep joy and friendship.

"Xiao Xiao Xiao... Xiao E!" After Lin Geng saw the person clearly, he jumped up as if a spring had popped up under his butt. The chair was knocked over by his sudden bounce. His lips trembled with excitement, and he spoke to the pretty young woman who came in with some stammering.

That's right, the pretty young woman who came in, wearing a fashionable and well-cut cashmere coat, was none other than Lou Xiao'e, who left Beijing for Hong Kong more than ten years ago. She actually came back.

Lin Geng didn't know what he felt at the moment. Although he knew that in the original play, Lou Xiao'e returned to Beijing from Hong Kong after the reform and opening up, and brought her and Sha Zhu's son He Xiao back to recognize his relatives, but later...

But in this life, Lou Xiao'e did not marry Xu Damao, nor did she have any entanglement with Sha Zhu. Instead, she had an entanglement with him, and before leaving, she spent a night with him, breaking through the last layer of barriers.

Moreover, in this life, Lou Xiao'e left Beijing many years earlier than in the original drama. In the original drama, when Lou Xiao'e left, it was already windy and she was already a young woman. But in this life, when she left Beijing for Hong Kong, she was only 21 years old and still a young and beautiful girl.

Therefore, Lin didn’t know whether Lou Xiao’e would return to Beijing after the reform and opening up in this life, or whether she would find a man she loved and marry him after arriving in Hong Kong in this life, and never come back. Even if she came back, it might be many, many years later.

But he didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e would come back so early and find him directly. This made Lin Geng feel mixed emotions and he looked at Lou Xiao'e in a daze for a while.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Lin Geng, tears welling up in her pretty eyes, but a bright smile appeared on her face. She said to Lin Geng with a choked voice, "What? Don't you welcome me back?"

Lin Geng hurriedly walked around the desk and came to Lou Xiao'e. He looked her up and down with a look of surprise on his face, and said to her with a helpless smile: "Welcome back! Of course you are welcome back!"

But when he said this, he felt a little guilty. He really wanted to hug Lou Xiao'e, hold her in his arms, and cherish her.
