Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Wang Jinju arrives
Yan Zhida didn't get in the car after all. Jinbao said he would give up his seat and sit in the back, but he didn't get in either, saying that his stomach wasn't feeling well.
To be honest, if he had gotten in the car, Feng Yiping would have looked up to him.
If he had just said yes, none of his roommates would have gone with him. 'Hey, let's go without you,'
Huang Jingping would have said to him. But Yan Zhida, she didn't care about. Although Feng Yiping didn't go home gossiping about the other roommates, she could tell from this encounter that Yan Zhida, whether intentionally or not, was a little bit targeting Feng Yiping.
After leaving the school, they first went for a walk around the front of the Summer Palace, then drove around the inside of Peking University, and finally to Chang'an Avenue.
Both sides of Chang'an Avenue were decorated with all kinds of flowers. Since 1986, it has been a tradition for the capital to set up a large flower bed in the centre of Tiananmen Square during National Day.
This is also one of the sixteen scenic spots in the capital, Tianan Li Ri. Because this year is the 50th anniversary, there will be a military parade, so the flowers are placed on both sides of the road. I heard that the total number of flowers this year is the largest in history.
Even without the flowerbeds, everyone still went down to take photos. Looking at the viewing platforms that had been set up on both sides of the city walls, Liang Yonggao said boastfully, 'In a few years, I want to sit up there too!'
'That gave me a fright, but luckily you weren't pointing at the top of the city walls,' Han Guiliang said, patting his chest.
Jinbao put his arm around him and said, 'If not, I'll start flattering you now, and hope that you'll help me in the future?'
Lao Mo was a little embarrassed, but immediately put his arms akimbo, thrust out his belly, and put on an air of success. 'Jinbao, I'm thirsty, go buy me a bottle of ice water!'
Feng Yiping immediately pressed the shutter and recorded the scene. After developing the film, his family said that it was the best photo taken that day.

At the West Railway Station, Huang Jingping anxiously waits at the exit, holding Feng Yiping's hand. Finally, Wang Jinju comes out of the station with a large suitcase. 'This,' she says, happily waving her hand in the air. The two then join forces in victory, hugging each other and exclaiming, 'It's only been a little over two months since we last saw each other!'
Feng Yiping took Wang Jinju's suitcase and said, 'You must have had a hard time!'
Wang Jinju understood what he meant. 'It's fine. I'm grateful to my old schoolmate for giving me this opportunity. By the way, did you watch the military parade the other day?'
'Yes, on TV. We couldn't get to the square during the parade, and we didn't want to join the crowds. Of course, we watched the formations in the sky with binoculars.'
Wang Jinju lived in the company dormitory, and the two of them kept whispering in the back seat the whole way there. Feng Yiping was at a loss for words. Where did all this private chatter come from?
In the days that followed, Huang Jingping finally found a good companion. When Wang Jinju was off duty, the two of them would set off from the heart of the capital and walk in a circle towards the outskirts, eating and playing along the way. When they reached the Summer Palace, they even made a special trip to the school cafeteria to have lunch with Feng Yiping.
In mid-October, the renovation was successfully completed, and the special vehicle hired by Lao Cai to deliver the furniture also arrived just in time. With the help of the renovation company's manpower, the batch of custom-made mahogany furniture was placed in place one by one, and then the new house was finally ready for Feng Yiping's inspection.
The mahogany furniture is mainly concentrated in the living room, dining room and master bedroom, and it is not traditional mahogany furniture. That style of furniture really does not start from the perspective of comfort, so Lao Cai made modern mahogany furniture according to Feng Yiping's requirements, which is luxurious but comfortable.
The colour is not necessarily red. Feng Yiping's batch is a little yellowish. He always feels that the fuchsia shade is too dark and old-fashioned.
Don't say it, but such a set of heavy mahogany sofas, a thick mahogany coffee table, a mahogany bookcase on one side, a mahogany TV cabinet, and mahogany decorations by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, although simple, this level, it's up there.
Huang Jingping bounced on the sofa, 'It's so comfortable!' She made it herself, so it's comfortable, of course, with the best fabrics and workmanship.
There are even pillows, with red silk covers stuffed with silk cotton, and a box of unopened bedding, totalling two sets, all of which were given to her by her sister-in-law.
This was the first time Huang Jingping had seen the kitchen after it was decorated, and she liked it immediately. The overall style of the kitchen was Western, with a large worktop. Feng Yiping had suffered from using domestic cooking appliances before, so this time he bought a German gas cooker, which was expensive but looked different. The oven, which he had not bought later, had also been installed in place, making it much easier to make various Western pastries in the future.
Huang Jingping touched every part of the kitchen, eager to move in tonight.
The style on the second floor is different, still the simple modern style that Feng Yiping promotes. The biggest highlight is the study and the large terrace by the river. The study is also very large, with bookshelves on one wall. It would take Feng Yiping a lot of money to fill it.
On the large terrace, the floor is covered with anti-corrosion wood, with a set of rattan sofas and chairs, and two hanging bird's nest chairs. According to Lao Cai, similar hanging chairs are very popular once they are launched in the province.
True, they don't take up much space and can be placed in the bedroom or on the balcony.
Looking down from here, you can also see the swing set in the backyard. Unfortunately, there is no swimming pool, but Feng Yiping can't swim yet anyway.
'Do we have to move in next month? Can't we move in in a month or two?'
Although not much paint was used during the renovation, and the furniture was all requested by Feng Yiping, mostly in primary colours and not painted, the harmful gases in the room will definitely exceed the limit when all is said and done.
He put some of the bag of activated carbon he brought into each room, 'It will take at least a month, and the windows will have to be kept open for ventilation at all times, otherwise it's not good for your health. Besides, you have a lot to do in a month. Look at how much more there is to buy for the home, from the big appliances to the bits and pieces you use every day. You'll be busy.'
'Okay, I'll make a list when I get home,'
In the days that followed, Feng Yiping had to open and close the windows twice a day, and when he wasn't teaching, he had to accompany Huang Jingping to various shopping malls. They moved their things into the new home like ants moving their nest. There were quite a few things that Huang Jingping hadn't included on her list, but when they saw them while shopping, they felt they couldn't do without them, so they added quite a few extras.
Wang Jinju was the first visitor to their newly decorated home and also helped a lot. To show his gratitude, Feng Yiping took them to climb the Great Wall. This was the first time he had climbed the Great Wall after his rebirth. Revisiting the old place, he didn't feel much, but Huang Jingping and the others were so excited.
They also picked a weekend to go and eat authentic Goubuli and pancake fruit, as well as all kinds of twisted dough twists. That night they went for a night cruise on the Haihe River, and the next day they went for a stroll in the coastal tourist resort. Wang Jinju, who was seeing the sea for the first time, was so overwhelmed that she could not find the words to describe her feelings.
A month later, with the final load of large appliances pulled to the villa and installed in place, the new home was finally ready to move in.
