Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

Unable to reveal the system's secret, Shi Huai'an fabricated a story: "My father found this in a pile of old books while collecting scraps. Knowing that I was studying medicine with Master Liu, he gave it to me to look at for fun. After several years of study and practice, I felt that this acupuncture technique, combined with medicinal baths and massage, should be effective for Gu Xihua's legs."

Han Chengzong sat down and nodded, muttering, "Truly a lucky man, not simple at all... Perhaps we should travel around a bit since we've been staying in the capital for so long..."

Ignoring his grandfather's thoughts, Han Mingxuan was eager to see the new acupuncture technique and said, "Grandpa, let's try anything, since he doesn't have a better solution right now." He then hesitated and asked Shi Huai'an, "Can I really observe you performing the acupuncture?"

They were worried that Shi Huai'an didn't want outsiders to know about her acupuncture techniques, so they wanted to consult her.

Shi Huai'an said, "Of course, aren't you my apprentice? When I'm performing acupuncture, it would be best if Professor Han were there to guide me. However, you'll need to give me a few days to come up with the treatment plan."

Han Mingxuan grinned upon hearing this, while Professor Han shook his head and sighed, "What is all this nonsense? You're my son, yet you've become Huai'an's apprentice, and Huai'an calls me 'Uncle-Master' and 'Teacher.' This whole hierarchy is a mess..."

Huai'an chuckled and said, "Seniority is just a label, teacher, don't mind it."

Han Mingxuan rubbed his nose and chuckled, "There's nothing I can do. I'm from a lower generation and my language skills are poor. Please forgive me, Dad, for my strong thirst for knowledge!"

Han Chengzong chuckled and nodded, saying, "I was being narrow-minded. Ability is the true source of pride. Mingxuan, it's good that you've learned skills. How about this, we'll decide after Huai'an's treatment plan arrives. Let them come back in a week."

Just as Shi Huai'an was about to leave, Han Chengzong stopped her again, took out a document stamped with a red seal and a thick paper bag from the drawer, and said, "I was so busy yesterday that I forgot about it. This is the property registration certificate for a courtyard house. The housing management bureau also kept the deed, and it has your name on it. Keep it safe. The remaining money is five thousand yuan in this bag."

Shi Huai'an took the property certificate and paper bag with delight, exclaiming, "It's done so quickly? How come there's still so much money left?"

Han Chengzong laughed, "Your ginseng is of extremely high quality and very rare. I had several experts appraise it, and they all said it would be worth over 20,000 yuan. It's very rare. Nowadays, an ordinary small courtyard house would only cost less than 10,000 yuan, but it's quite rare. Ordinary people can't buy it even if they want to. I heard from Senior Brother Liu that you dug it up when you were a child? You're really blessed, girl. Even the heavens are secretly favoring you. I'll be able to get some of your spiritual energy from now on, hehe..."

Han Mingxuan also laughed and said, "Then I'll have to cling to my little master's leg from now on and get some of the luck from the goddess of fortune."

Han Chengzong scolded, "Look at you, so spineless..."

Shi Huai'an folded the property certificate and put it away with the paper bag with a embarrassed expression, and said sincerely, "Hehe... I also thank God for his favor in meeting you. If it weren't for you, even if I wanted to buy it, I wouldn't have been able to complete the formalities."

Han Chengzong said smugly, "The old commander is very satisfied with the ginseng. His health requires ginseng to nourish him, and this one is large and of good quality, enough for him to use for many years. However, there are very few courtyard houses available for sale now, so you are lucky. He happened to have two subordinates transferred to work in other cities, so he chose one near the hospital. Considering that it might be inconvenient for a young girl like you, he bought it along with the furniture. He bought it in his wife's name first and then transferred it to your name. There won't be any problems with the paperwork, and with the military region's approval, your house will be very safe in the future. They have already emptied it out these past few days and even had it cleaned, repaired, and painted. I'll take you to see it at noon. No one can compare to your luck."

This was such a huge surprise! Huai'an kept nodding, feeling like he was dreaming and overjoyed. There were many big shots in the capital, and ginseng was their passport.

At noon, the three of them first went to a courtyard house near the hospital. As soon as they pushed open the gate, Duoduo popped out of the bag and checked around.

This courtyard house is truly exquisite! From the outside, the first thing that catches the eye is the two round gates, which are incredibly wide when open, even large enough for a car to easily drive in. Walking along the path in front of the gate, you will ascend a high set of steps, where a large red-lacquered gate will appear, solemn and imposing.

Passing through the doorway and turning around, you'll see a small, exquisite bend where a round moon gate stands, behind which lies a small courtyard. After passing through four more doors, you finally enter the inner courtyard.

The layout of the inner courtyard is neat and orderly, with houses built in the east, south, west, and north directions. The north-facing house has seven rooms, making it particularly spacious and bright; the east and west sides each have three rooms, standing symmetrically; the south-facing house also has three rooms, with a separate small room near the outer courtyard. The main north-facing house has side rooms, while the east and west sides each have small single rooms, each with its own unique characteristics.

The outer wall of the courtyard is covered with lush ivy, which cascades down like a green waterfall, adding a touch of life and vitality to the entire courtyard.

Courtyard houses have always emphasized the combination of "awning, fish tank, and pomegranate tree". Upon entering the gate, you are greeted by a screen wall, which is like an exquisite screen.

Two pomegranate trees stand in the courtyard, their vibrant red blossoms a dazzling sight, burning like flames and captivating the eye. Complementing them are four pots of pure white hosta flowers, elegant and serene, emitting a delicate fragrance.

The inner courtyard is even more picturesque, filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms. Two osmanthus trees and two tall, stately phoenix trees stand lush and verdant, their canopies reaching over the rooftops as if soaring into the clouds. Crabapple trees soar high, their branches laden with pink and white blossoms; when a gentle breeze blows, the petals fall like snow, a breathtaking sight. Clusters of white and purple lilacs create a romantic sea of ​​flowers, their fragrance permeating the air. White magnolias grow against the south wall; when they bloom, their pure white blossoms resemble fairies descending to earth. Under the grape trellis, bunches of glistening grapes hang down, tempting the eye. Exquisite tea sets are set on a stone table, and stone stools are scattered around, providing places to rest and enjoy the scenery. In addition, countless potted plants of various colors and hues compete for attention, transforming the entire courtyard into a vibrant and colorful garden.

What surprised Huai'an the most was that there were two simple swings under the golden osmanthus tree, which was simply her dream garden.

Moreover, the courtyard is very spacious, and a ping-pong table was specially placed against the wall.

The courtyard was neat and tidy, and the most stylish place was the kitchen, with many water taps, white ceramic tiles on the walls, and a very sophisticated oven inside the large stove, with several baking trays inside.

Two interconnected living room suites stand prominently in front of the north-facing house. The original residents clearly had a lot of ingenuity and creativity, and had done a unique renovation of the house.

They abandoned the slightly outdated and weathered wooden lattice windows, replacing them with bright and airy floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Whenever a gentle breeze blows in the morning or evening, a simple push of the window allows them to easily extend the large bed, with its lightly rolled corners, outside, enjoying a rare moment of coolness and comfort. This unique and comfortable design makes this bedroom stand out in the entire antique courtyard, exuding a rich Western ambiance.

Furthermore, the north room cleverly extends into the east room, forming a convenient passageway. When people step into the north room, the first thing they see is the meticulously designed bathroom. After leaving the bathroom, they find themselves between a spacious kitchen and a cozy dining room.

Furthermore, the kitchen is connected to the rooms on the east side, making it extremely convenient and efficient to cook and serve food. The whole family can sit around the center of the room and enjoy delicious meals together in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Stepping into the courtyard, the neatly arranged square bricks underfoot seem to tell the story of the courtyard's long history. Meanwhile, every room has been fitted with brand-new, stylish glass windows, allowing ample light to fill the rooms, making them bright and inviting. The bathrooms and small, exquisite side rooms use delicate, soft frosted glass, ensuring privacy while adding a touch of ethereal beauty.

Even more noteworthy is that, in order to maximize the introduction of warm sunlight, crystal-clear glass was installed on the roofs of the north and east rooms, as well as the connecting passageways between the rooms.

The house is spacious and grand, with luxurious and elegant furnishings throughout. A complete set of mahogany furniture is arranged in a well-organized manner, showcasing the owner's extraordinary taste and style.

The enormous wooden bed, crafted from rosewood, was particularly eye-catching. It was equipped not only with an exquisite kang table and a comfortable footstool, but also with a simple and rustic side table and a dignified and stable eight-immortal table that complemented it perfectly.

In addition, there are two sets of Ming-style desks and chairs, also equipped with practical footrests, and a tall bookshelf that occupies half of one wall.

Professor Han couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly, "The original owner was from a wealthy family, had studied abroad, and had done big business. The layout of this courtyard is truly extraordinary. Huai'an, what do you think?"

"This is simply my dream home. I love it so much. I never imagined that this ginseng could be exchanged for such a large courtyard," Huai'an exclaimed.

Han Chengzong said, "The courtyard and furniture are fine, but it's not easy to get the deed. The leader said that something big might happen in the future, so you should be careful and keep a low profile. He's worried that someone might want to take your house. He's already instructed the housing management bureau to keep your house documents secret, so no one will allocate any housing. But you should still keep a low profile. And don't go around talking about it."

Han Mingxuan said, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret and won't mention it to anyone."

Huai'an nodded and said, "I won't tell anyone. If anyone asks, I'll just say I live on campus or rent a place outside."

Han Seongjong asked, "When do you plan to pick up your parents? Do you need my help?"

"No need. I'll write to them first and ask them to take care of things at home and at work. I'll bring them here after the winter break. I still need to tidy up here, and I'll prepare my parents' things slowly."

"Then don't go to the hospital this afternoon. Just stay home and tidy up," Han Chengzong nodded.

"Yes, thank you, teacher," Huai'an said.

"I'll come help you this afternoon. What do you need me to do?" Han Mingxuan asked.

"No need, no need, I have plenty of time, I'll take my time, there's no rush." ​​Huai'an quickly refused, thinking that having you here would be a hindrance, making it difficult to move the things from her spatial storage...

After the Han family left, Huai'an closed the courtyard gate and then sat on the swing with Duoduo and the cat, gently swaying back and forth. It felt like a dream. This was the home she longed for most: a courtyard, a cat to keep her company on the swing, and walls covered with flowers...

She can now communicate directly with the system in her mind. She communicates with the system in her mind: "I know that this era is about to enter a very turbulent decade. At that time, it will be difficult for this courtyard to remain unscathed. It may be subject to human destruction or disputes over the right to reside. Is there any way to protect this courtyard from outsiders?"

The system automatically started searching and took a long time to reply: Given the special circumstances of this era, if you don't have the protection of the military or a high-ranking official, and you don't want to attract the attention of outsiders, your only option is to hide your courtyard.

"How can we hide it while still using it normally?" Huai'an asked anxiously.

After searching, the system said, "You can upgrade Duoduo and use the Illusion Screen Closure Technique to create a barrier around the courtyard. This will form a powerful, invisible protective membrane around the courtyard, making it invisible and undetectable to outsiders. Even if someone accidentally stumbles in and sees it, they will lose that memory once they leave. However, people related to the courtyard can come and go normally without causing any unnecessary trouble."

“That’s great, then you help Duoduo upgrade,” Huai’an said excitedly. “That’s wonderful. From now on, we’ll rely on Duoduo to protect this courtyard. I won’t have to worry about bringing my parents here anymore. This is simply a paradise.”

Duoduo stood beside her, head held high, eagerly awaiting her return. "Meow meow~ Huai'an can't do without my help..." it thought smugly, wagging its tail.

The system says: This upgrade requires 20,000 points. Based on your past data, your loan repayment credit is good. The current monthly interest rate is 5%. The upgrade will be completed within one year, and you will owe a total of 32,000 points.

Huai'an immediately and skillfully confirmed his agreement. Based on the calculation that one person cured would earn 1,000 points, he should be able to treat 32 people in the hospital in a year without any problem. Moreover, Duoduo would occasionally bring some surprises. Not to mention that if he brought his parents to the capital, it would be equivalent to changing the trajectory of his previous life, which would add 2,000 points, expand his space, and add a master bedroom and a master bathroom.

Moreover, each time points are added, Huai'an's physical strength and intelligence will also increase. Therefore, for Huai'an, having the opportunity to do tasks is a great thing, and Huai'an is full of anticipation.

Ding~ Virtual illusion spell activated, no returns or exchanges: Multi-transformation—

Suddenly, Duoduo was enveloped in purple light. Its round, blue eyes flashed with lightning, and with a meow, it spun from the swing into the air.

The illusory screen displays that the illusion import from the receiving system has been completed, with 100% progress.

Dodo immediately crossed its paws and meowed—Phantom Space—The courtyard was instantly covered by a layer of purple light. A few seconds later, the purple light disappeared, and everything was normal under the sunlight, as if nothing had happened.

Um... are you sure this really works? There's been no change? I'm not being fooled by the system, am I? Huai'an looked at Duo Duo with some worry—

Duo Duo nodded eagerly, head held high, meowing~ That's how it is, don't worry.

Well, although Huai'an felt a little uneasy, she decided to stop thinking about it. She patted Duo Duo's round little head and thought, let time be the judge...
