The courtyard house here was much smaller than Fang Yan's.
However, it was much more exquisite.
Fang Yan and the others had more people on their side, but there were fewer people on this side.
It was also a Siheyuan, but the houses here were relatively new.
Everything looked much cleaner.
The living room was more than ten square meters. The floor was flat and not tiled, but the cement was painted with a layer of light green paint that was only used in the workshop.
The wall was scraped with white paint, commonly known as the sanitary wall.
There were sofas, coffee tables, and tall and short cabinets placed against the walls.
The overhead lamp was not the common incandescent lamp, but a white fluorescent lamp. This thing was made in the Soviet Union in the early years.
It was more commonly used in large factories and offices.
At first glance, there was a sense of exquisiteness in it.
Yu Haitang's mother called out to Yu Haitang as she asked Fang Yan to change into slippers.
She let him sit down on the sofa and went to call her daughter.
Fang Yan was a little surprised that they even had a sofa at home.
Fang Yan sat on a sofa that was rarely seen in ordinary households in this era.
He felt the spring under his butt expand and contract, making a series of creaking sounds.
He guessed that this was probably second-hand furniture that was auctioned off by a large number of Soviet experts in Yanjing in the 50s.
The income of this dual-income family should have surpassed Yi Zhonghai's.
No wonder the two Yu sisters could open a restaurant in the later stages of the original novel.
Although he was only a working-class person, his family was quite well-off due to his parents 'hard work.
Fang Yan sat on the sofa for about three minutes.
She heard a series of crackling sounds from the room next door.
Then, a series of footsteps approached from afar.
Then, Yu Haitang, who had not even combed her hair, appeared in front of Fang Yan in her pajamas and slippers.
"Fang Yan! Why are you here?"
Yu Haitang's voice was filled with excitement.
This was Fang Yan's first visit.
She tidied her hair as she walked toward Fang Yan.
She suddenly realized that she hadn't washed her hair or combed her face, and an awkward expression appeared on her face.
Fang Yan acted as if he did not see her. He continued to speak to her in a normal tone,
"Didn't I ask your sister to go to Fengtai the day before yesterday afternoon? I saw that the weather was good today and it happened to be the weekend, so I came to look for you.”
"Oh, oh, right. I remember. I thought you were joking.”Yu Haitang replied with an awkward smile as she tidied her hair.
"Is there anything else today? If not, let's go play together.”
Fang Yan extended a sincere invitation to Haitang.
This was the first time Fang Yan had taken the initiative to formally invite her.
Yu Haitang felt her heart beating violently.
He didn't care about tidying his hair and said,"
"It's fine, it's fine! I can go!"
Fang Yan looked at the excited Yu Haitang and could not help but remind her,"
"Then your sister…"
" Oh, her…" Yu Haitang really didn't know if her sister was free today.
At this moment, Yu Haitang's mother's voice came from outside the living room."
"Yu Li is fine. She hasn't even woken up yet.”
"Ask her to go play with you.”
Yu Haitang turned her head and looked at the door next door.
She saw her mother peeking at her from the door. When she saw her looking over, she even winked at her.
Yu Haitang blushed and said to Fang Yan,
"Then wait for me to wash up. We'll go over together later.”
"My sister hasn't woken up yet.”
"I'll call her right away."
Fang Yan nodded and said,
"Alright, go ahead."
Yu Haitang then left the living room.
When she left, she even mouthed to her mother.
He meant for her to stop peeking.
The latter smiled and shouted at Fang Yan.
"Fang Yan, let's have some breakfast here.”
"It's millet porridge this morning."
Fang Yan could tell that Yu Haitang's mother had a good impression of him.
He was also very enthusiastic.
Fang Yan got up from the sofa and replied,
"It's okay, Auntie. I've already eaten.”
"It's okay, it's okay. Eat more. We're going out to play. How can we not eat our fill?”As she spoke, Yu Haitang's mother came out with a bowl of millet porridge and a plate of soy bean side dishes.
"Eat some. They still want you to wait for a while.”Yu Haitang's mother placed the food on the table and called out to Fang Yan.
The millet porridge was steaming hot. It was Fang Yan's first time seeing soaked soybeans made using the method of making kimchi.
There were even a few red chili rings on it.
Just the sour and spicy taste alone made Fang Yan's throat twitch uncontrollably.
The fragrance of the millet porridge and the side dishes mixed together, stirring his taste buds.
Yu Haitang's mother said to Fang Yan,"
"Come, Fang Yan, eat quickly. It'll get cold later.”
As she spoke, she introduced,
"This side dish was brewed before the new year. It's just nice for you to come out today. Hurry up and try Auntie's cooking.”
"The soybeans were distributed during the new year in the factory. There was a disaster last year, so these beans aren't very full.”
Seeing that Fang Yan was sitting upright on the sofa and not coming over, she went straight to pull him over.
"Aiya, you're welcome. Come and eat quickly.”
Fang Yan was invited over and over again, so he could not decline.
In addition, that thing was really too fragrant.
He went up to the table in embarrassment and picked up the bowl and chopsticks under the kind urging.
Yu Haitang's mother saw Fang Yan's slightly reserved expression.
He smiled and went next door, saying that he was going to boil water for the girl to wash her face.
Fang Yan was left alone in the living room.
This made Fang Yan feel less awkward.
This was not Fang Yan's first time eating Yu Haitang's mother's dishes.
The food that Yu Haitang had brought him was all made by her mother.
The millet porridge entered his stomach, bringing with it a warm and sweet taste.
He picked up the frothed soybeans with his chopsticks and put one into his mouth.
It was sour and spicy with sweetness.
It stirred the taste buds on his tongue.
This was the first time he felt that kimchi could be made to be so fragrant.
Yu Haitang's mother's cooking skills, at least her kimchi skills, were definitely not inferior to those of professionals.
Unknowingly, Fang Yan had finished the bowl of millet porridge and the pile of soaked soybeans.
He even ate the chili ring.
He burped.
Fang Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Then, she heard voices next door. It was the voices of Yu Haitang's parents.
His voice was very soft, but Fang Yan's hearing was very good.
Yu Haitang's mother said,"
"This young man is really handsome. No wonder Second Girl seems to have lost her soul every day.”
"He's good at his studies, and he always sends things over.”
"I think it's fine…Old Yu, what about you?"
The latter had a deep, low voice. He seemed to have considered it for a moment before replying,
"Even if his parents aren't in Yanjing, he can still be a cadre after he gets into university.”
Yu Haitang's mother continued,
"Tsk, her parents aren't in Beijing, but it's not like they're not coming back. The second girl said that she's a military doctor, and her family background isn't bad.”
Her father lowered his voice and continued,
"I know. Didn't the big girl say the day before yesterday that her brother is a policeman?”
"No, what's wrong…You want to give the big girl to big brother too…Then I'll agree to introduce her to him.”
“……”
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted. Fang Yan could clearly hear that it was Yu Li. She yawned and asked,
"Dad, Mom, what are you muttering about?"
"Didn't you say that Fang Yan is here? Where is he?"
