Old Master Gong stood in front of the courtyard of the Gong family and was filled with emotion.

He had lived in Taoyuan Village for less than a year.

However, in less than a year, his body recovered, his grandson got married, and he had a fat great-grandson.

Here, he did not need to bear the burden of his identity. He could chat happily with the villagers.

In the past, he never thought that he could live such a healthy and happy life in his old age.

Even during the two years when Gong Tianhao was unconscious from the car accident, he held on with hope.

“Grandfather, although Yu ‘Er did not live here these two years, she would come to clean from time to time. Therefore, the house is very clean and tidy,” Mother Xiao said with a smile.

The Xiao and Gong families were less than a hundred meters apart. Back then, after Xiao Lingyu got married, she lived with the Gong family, but she ate with the Xiao family every day.

After all, other than Xiao Lingyu, the Gong family was also used to eating the food cooked by mother Xiao.

The relationship between the two families was like that of a real family. In fact, they were a family.

Later on, after Gong Tianhao got in a car accident, Xiao Lingyu had to take care of the child in his absence. The Xiao family felt sorry for her, so of course, they wouldn’t let her live alone in the Gong family.

Even after Tong Tong didn’t need people to care for him anymore, Xiao Lingyu threw herself into work, so she still stayed in her mother’s family until now.

However, just like what mother Xiao said, Xiao Lingyu would go back to the Gong family to clean up from time to time.

The Gong family’s courtyard was the most beautiful in Taoyuan Village.

Many tourists initially thought that it was a historical site. They wanted to take a look. Later, they found out that this was a private family’s house that wasn’t open to the public.

The discerning tourists discovered that even though this courtyard was surrounded by high walls, it faintly exuded a low-key luxury. One look and one could tell that it was the residence of a wealthy family.

Taoyuan Village was really special. It was a small village, but a really rich family lived here.

The Gong family was wealthy. When Gong Tianhao built the house, he used the best materials. Therefore, even an ordinary chair and stool could be worth hundreds of thousands.

There were many tourists during the day, but it was quieter at night. So Xiao Lingyu mostly came to clean the house at night.

Xiao Lingyu also took care of the flowers and trees in the courtyard.

She knew that her grandfather loved flowers, so she took good care of the garden.

Old Master Gong looked at Xiao Lingyu and said to her, “Yu ‘Er, it’s been hard on you!”

Xiao Lingyu smiled and shook her head. “Grandfather, this is my home now. Isn’t it my duty to take care of my own home?”

Many tourists were very curious about this group of people and followed behind them to join in the fun.

When they followed them to a high-walled courtyard, they were still a little stunned.

This courtyard was not ordinary.

The green bricks, high walls, and glazed tiles were pretty. The carved and painted eaves were classical and expensive. The architectural style was classical, but the building was brand new. This was not an old building.

Many people had seen the advertisements for Taoyuan Village. There were introductions to the various attractions and events of the Taoyuan Village. However, they had not seen any introductions about this house.

This house was built in the center of the village and was impressively beautiful. There was no reason why it shouldn’t be a tourist attraction. However, they understood the reason now. This house was someone’s private home!

Some of the tourists exclaimed, “What a rich family. They keep a low profile.” They were curious about what was behind this vermillion-colored iron door?

Old Master Gong stood in front of the door and sighed for a while before Xiao Lingyu took out her key and pushed the door open.

Beyond the door was a road paved with green bricks, fake mountains and rivers, and bright flowers and trees.

The tourists who followed behind couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Wow, it’s so beautiful inside!”

“Wow, it’s really beautiful! This courtyard is like a garden. It’s arranged in a neat way.”

“Ah, look, that little chrysanthemum. Is it Si Zang Zhu Lian?”

“What’s a Si Zang Zhu Lian?” Someone asked curiously.

“A Si Zang Zhu Lian is a variety of chrysanthemum. The petals are slender. The flowers are white or pinkish-white in color… the stems are brownish-green in color. They are late-blooming, precious, and famous chrysanthemums. They are treasures. The technical management requirements to raise them are meticulous. The market price of this kind of chrysanthemum is as high as 150,000 RMB or more.”

“What? A chrysanthemum can cost that much?! This is too expensive.”

“Wait. That’s Si Ba Xue Si!” The person immediately saw another pot of flowers.

“I’ve heard of this before. It’s a variety of camellia, right? I’ve seen it on TV before,” someone said.

“Yes, but they are not ordinary camellias. They have beautiful shapes and unique flowers. It has more than 70 to 130 petals and a hexagonal corolla. The tower shape is distinct. It’s very beautiful. The two adjacent petals are arranged in about 18 circles. That’s why it’s called the Si Ba Xue Si.

“The more colorful the flowers, the more expensive they are. I was lucky enough to see the pink and white Si Ba Xue Si at a flower show once. The opening bid price of that flower was 180,000 RMB.”

“Oh my god, it’s so expensive.”

“That’s not expensive. This pot of Si Ba Xue Si has red, pink, white, purple, green, blue, and green flowers. If it’s auctioned off, it would be worth at least a million.”

“What?!”

“There are also so many rare orchids like Jian Lan, the Blue Enchantress…” the tourist who knew about flowers was very excited. The other tourists understood that these were not normal flowers after the man’s introduction.

“Oh my God, am I dreaming? I never thought that I would see such a variety of flowers in a family courtyard.”

The value of these flowers added up was over ten million.

What kind of rich family was this?

This looked like an ordinary courtyard, but it was planted with extraordinary flowers.

No wonder this courtyard wasn’t open to the public. Every pot of flowers was priceless. If someone stole it, the loss would be huge.

Of course, the biggest reason why this courtyard wasn’t open to the public was that it was a private residence.

After Xiao Lingyu opened the door, Old Master Gong stopped and stood for a while. His gaze swept across the entire courtyard and saw that the flowers he had collected from various places had not withered after two years. On the contrary, they were even more vibrant.

Old Master Gong asked in surprise, “These flowers?”

Xiao Lingyu supported him on the other side and explained with a smile, “I took care of these flowers according to the way grandfather taught me to. I also water them frequently!” The last sentence that she said had another meaning.

Old Master Gong immediately understood, and his deep eyes lit up. Then, he praised with a smile, “Haha, so you have a talent in growing flowers too.”

Xiao Letong held Old Master Gong’s hand from the other side and said immediately, “Great-grandfather, I also follow mother to water these flowers frequently.”

Old Master Gong patted his little head and praised him generously, “My great-grandson is so capable!”

Xiao Letong straightened his back and said proudly, “Yes, Tong Tong has always been very capable!”

Everyone, “…” Does this child not know modesty?

However, this child didn’t need to be modest at all. He was indeed very capable.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Grandfather, let’s go home! You must be tired after a whole day’s journey. Let’s go home and rest for a while. Later in the evening, we’ll hold a welcoming banquet for you!”

When Old Master Gong heard the words “Let’s go home”, he was very shocked.

The real home of the Gong family was the Gong family in the capital city. However, for Gong Zhen, that place didn’t feel like a home at all.

Only when he arrived here did he truly feel the warmth of family.

Old Master Gong’s voice was a little excited as he said, “Yes, let’s go home. Let’s go home now!”
