Li Jianqing's yard had been renovated over two years, with new walls and a gate installed, and the ground paved with red bricks, making it very beautiful and tidy.
Since this house was where Li Jianqing would live after getting married, while ordering custom furniture, Li Xianglu also had Xu Wu find someone to give the house a fresh coat of paint inside and out.
Each of the twins was wrapped in a cape with a tiger head design, wearing new cotton-padded jackets, and they didn't seem scared of the unfamiliar place, instead, they were looking around with wide-eyed curiosity.
Li Jianqing's yard was very spacious. They opened the gates wide so that cars could be parked inside.
Because they wouldn't be staying for long before leaving, Li Xianglu brought some fabric and a complete set of bowls and dishes as housewarming gifts instead of food. In those days, everyone preferred practical gifts; if you gave a bouquet, people would think you were crazy.
