Lu Jiefang didn't take Jiang Sen's words to heart, thinking that Jiang Sen was just joking. He laughed and said that he would give him another major contribution, and that there would be no problem with the major contributions being added together.

But Jiang Sen placed the matter that had been buried in his heart first.

Let's rest first!

Varyan, wait for me, I'm coming for you!

More than eight hours later, around 4 p.m., the plane landed in Kyoto.

The airport is a military airport, with a row of cars parked along the edge of the runway.

Luo Jianshe, Wang Jianguo, and several other leaders, including Minister Luo and Minister Lu, stood in front of the car to greet them.

Jiang Sen was shocked as soon as he got off the plane. "Brother Lu, this is too much! Pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Whether it was a dream or not, Jiang Sen was still in a daze from shaking hands with the leader, getting into the car, all the way home.

Han San and Karina arrived back in Kyoto half an hour before Jiang Sen got home.

The house suddenly became as lively as during the Chinese New Year.

Tiger, dressed in a blue padded jacket and pants, shared various gifts with Wei Lao Er.

Old Master Chen was the happiest, finally seeing his daughter-in-law.

Yingzi and Karina had become quite familiar with each other, and they were each telling each other about their men's embarrassing moments. Seeing that there were too many people in the room, they went to the back together.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Wanping and Shao Hong arrived, followed by Hu Zhiqing and Wei San.

The noisy day is finally over.

That evening, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Jiang Sen sincerely and humbly accepted his punishment, with Yingzi on top...

The next day, after Jiang Sen got up, Uncle Chen called him over and said he was going to buy breakfast.

There was still a lot of food left from yesterday, enough for this morning, but Jiang Sen sensed that Master Chen seemed to have something to say to him, so he told Yingzi, and the two went out the door.

"Fifth Master Chen, is there something you want to say to me?"

Master Chen laughed, “You know me. Although I live here, I have my own house. It’s too deserted over there. Even if I went back, I wouldn’t want to live alone, so I’ve been staying here with you.”

"What are you saying? What's mine is yours too. Why are you being so polite with me?"

Master Chen nodded. "Yes, we've known each other for generations. I won't stand on ceremony with you! What I want to say today is that you can have that house. You can move there or sell it later, it's up to you."

"Huh? Give it to me? No, no, you can give it to San'er. We brothers don't need to divide it between you and me."

"Let me finish!" said Uncle Chen. "Didn't you always tell me and Old Cripple to keep an eye out for houses around here? The house behind us, after the old man passed away, none of his children wanted to live there. After Old Cripple and I heard about it, we talked to someone and bought it."

"The one behind us?" Jiang Sen was very surprised. "When did that happen?"

“It’s been almost half a year, right? We’ve been dealing with this and that ever since, and we’ve completely forgotten about it. The property certificate is with Yingzi! I was thinking, I’ll give you my own house, and you can help me settle things. Then, you can knock down the wall between the back yard and our yard so that San’er and his wife can live there. As more and more people come, including Qianmian, he can’t live alone forever, can he?”

Jiang Sen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "I thought you were talking about something serious! You can make the decision. I'm not home often, so you can handle these kinds of big things around the house."

Master Chen laughed, “I know you’re a grateful person, but one thing is one thing. You treat me like your own father, and I treat you like my own son, but there are some things we still need to discuss.”

Jiang Sen felt a warmth in his heart. That's just how Master Chen is. No matter how big the matter is, he is always calm and collected in front of him, as if nothing else matters except life and death.

He's studied for two lifetimes, and compared to him, there's still such a huge gap.

The two bought soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding, and carried them home.

Now there are more people eating. After they finished eating, Jiang Sen called Han San and Qianmian over and said, "Let's go out and see the new look of our capital!"

Yingzi smiled as she looked at them and said to Karina, "Look at them, how good their relationship is! From now on, this is your home. If any of them misbehaves, just say so!"

Karina smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, you're so kind!"

The streets of Kyoto are no different from before.

Jiang Sen and his group drove north along the street.

"Where to?" Han San asked.

Jiang Sen said, "Guess!"

Qianmian chuckled twice, "San'er, have you noticed? Brother Sen has been especially energetic since he came back from Russia, like he just finished a fight."

Han San nodded. "I can tell. Are you going to fight again? Just like when you're drunk and need to drink some more to sober up?"

Qianmian and Han San laughed heartily, and Jiang Sen said smugly, "Keep laughing, you won't be laughing in a minute!"

Indeed, they stopped laughing when they stood outside a large mansion that resembled a park.

Thousand Faces: "When did a park appear here?"

Han San: "How did you know about this place?"

"Where is this?" Thousand Faces asked again. "You all know, how come I don't?"

Jiang Sen smiled without saying a word, took out a key from his pocket, waved it in front of them, and opened the door. "Come on in!"

"Hey? How do you have the key?" Han San chased after him inside.

Qianmian looked around, shook his head, and exclaimed, "What a wonderful place!"

The mansion has three courtyards and three large gardens, with pavilions, flowing water, fish ponds, withered lotus leaves, and peach and plum trees all over the garden. Some people would believe it was once the emperor's villa.

It took Jiang Sen more than half an hour to explain and finally make Chen Wuye's meaning clear.

It only takes a sentence or two; it's just that Han San has too many problems.

Because no matter how you look at it, if Master Chen is going to deal with this house, it should be Han San who should handle it, so why is it Jiang Sen?

Jiang Sen's throat was dry from talking, and he couldn't make up any more stories, so he said, "In other words, he thinks I'm your older brother, more mature than you, understand?"

Han San was annoyed, "You're a few days older than me!"

After listening for a while, Qianmian suddenly said, "I understand what Master Chen means."

Han San looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"It means that possessing a treasure is a crime. Master Chen believes that neither you nor he can protect this place, so he thought of having Brother Sen handle it. Do you think that makes sense?"

Han San then looked at Jiang Sen, "Really?"

Jiang Sen scratched his head. "Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense. Unless this house wasn't acquired by any legitimate means!"

Jiang Sen was the only one who dared to say that Chen Wuye's house was acquired through bad means.

Han San fell silent.

"This really didn't come easily!" Jiang Sen exclaimed in surprise. "I swear, I really didn't know. Master Chen didn't tell me; he just said this house was his."

Han San didn't object to Master Chen handing this place over to Jiang Sen. "Go back and ask him yourself!"

Back home, Jiang Sen kept trying to find an opportunity to ask Uncle Chen, but he never got the chance.

Because that group of people came again, Lu Jiefang also came with Wang Haiyang, who had gone home.

Tiger is a real attention-seeker; he runs around the house laughing and joking.

Seeing that he was acting up, Uncle Chen took him out for a walk, and Old Cripple followed with Wei Lao Er.

The remaining men sat in the front drinking tea and chatting, while the women ate snacks and talked in the back.

Lu Jiefang said, "I don't have anything to do today, I just came to join in the fun and tell you about what's going on up north."
