Ren Li asked Tang Xincheng.
Tang Xincheng honestly shook his head, “Mom, I don’t know what the Wu Family’s house looks like.” When he had entered, he had been stuffed into a suitcase, and when he came out, he was carried out by others.
So, as to what the Wu Family’s house actually looked like, where it was, or what kind of architecture it had, he had no idea at all.
“That house dates back to the Dynasty Ming and Qing,” Ren Li said as she patted her son’s head, “It only later fell into the hands of the Wu Family.
It’s just like our Tang Garden now; they also contain elements of history.
If these places weren’t inhabited and didn’t belong to private property, they would have probably become historical relics.”
“The Wu Family has always prided themselves on being a scholarly family with a good reputation, and the biggest reason for that is that house.
You’ve always liked Tang Garden, haven’t you?
...
But after all, it’s not yours.
Mom will give you another Tang Garden.
Although your dad builds houses and will not lack one for you, living in that kind of old house has its benefits; it’s warm in winter and cool in summer, not something ordinary places can offer.”
The place where the Wu Family lived was somewhere she had resided for ten years.
Only those who lived there could know the advantages; not to mention it was warm in winter and cool in summer, but it was also spacious and had one of Beijing’s rare geothermal resources – a hot spring, used all year round.
Consequently, the Wu Family cared a great deal about their house; it could be said to be the foundation of the Wu Family.
Therefore, she wanted to exchange the Wu Family’s house for their own freedom and the Wu Family’s face.
The Wu Family would have to agree, whether they wanted to or not.
Tang Xincheng’s eyes lit up, “Is it really like Tang Garden?”
“Yes, very much,” Ren Li said with a genuine smile, looking relaxed.
“It’s just a little smaller than your sister’s Tang Garden, but it’s exquisite, and it also has a hot spring.
Only if you’re not afraid of having been shortchanged before.”
“Not afraid, not afraid at all,” Tang Xincheng hurriedly grabbed Ren Li’s hand, “Mom, I’m not afraid.” Where one falls, there one must rise, and having been fooled once, he wouldn’t be tricked a second time.
If he were to fall a second time in the same place, he might as well finish himself off.
“Dad...” Tang Xincheng stood up, then pointed at Ren Li, “Mom is tired.”
“I know,” Tang Zhinian was aware of Ren Li’s sleeping habits, “She has been like this recently.
Your sister said it’s because her qi and blood are a bit low, it might take a few more days for her to recover, and sleeping is the best way for her to rest.”
“Dad, I’ll go out first.”
Tang Xincheng was about to return to his own room, but he looked at Gu Dabai being held by Tang Zhinian and sighed; Dabai couldn’t play with Uncle now.
Gu Dabai nestled his little head on his grandfather’s shoulder and continued to rub his eyes.
Tang Zhinian carefully placed him beside Ren Li, staying there with them.
Tang Xincheng gently closed the door and went back to his room.
He needed to do his homework, he had exams in a few days.
He had taken quite a few days off, and if he didn’t review, he feared he would fall behind his classmates.
If he did poorly, it would be so embarrassing, especially since he was the younger brother of Tang Yuxin, the previous year’s top scorer in the provincial college entrance exam.
He wouldn’t disgrace himself or his sister.
Hmm...
Doodling on the paper with his pen, he cracked a silly smile.
He was going to have his own Tang Garden.
He was truly, really excited.
He dreamed of living in a place like his sister’s one day, authentic and ancient, firm and real, where he could grow his own vegetables and enjoy pastoral sights without ever leaving home.
In a future Beijing filled with skyscrapers, having such a small piece of pure land was incredibly precious.
Therefore, he must safeguard this patch of purity.
Strange to say, their family was in the construction business, yet whether it was Qing’an or Beijing, what they eventually favored was this type of small courtyard, not structures built of cold steel and concrete.
Alright, he put down his pen and flipped a page of his book.
He shouldn’t let his thoughts wander; no matter how much he thought, it was useless.
He had to get through this exam first.
If he couldn’t get past the exam, any excuse he had would still be a justification for failure.
