Chapter 807: First Meeting with Everyone in the Courtyard
"Hello, you can just call me Nana. I heard Sister Xiaochun talk about you today!"

There was a strange light in her eyes at this moment. When Xie Xiaochun returned to the restaurant this afternoon, he told her about Lin Hao, saying that the new tenant was tall and handsome, had a very good temperament, and spoke very nicely. In short, he praised him in various ways.

At that time, she didn't take it seriously and thought that Xie Xiaochun was exaggerating. But now when she saw Lin Hao, she realized that Xie Xiaochun was not fooling him.

"Master Ma, Nana, nice to meet you." Lin Hao said with a smile, and then looked at the girl who had not spoken.

Looking at the handsome Lin Hao, the girl shrank her neck shyly, but finally mustered up the courage to say:
"Hello, I'm the tenant of room three, you can call me Barley!"

Lin Hao also smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Lin Hao, nice to meet you!"

Knowing that Da Mai was an online novel writer with some social anxiety, and that this was their first meeting, Lin Hao was still very sensible.

Then Lin Hao said to everyone: "You can just call me by my name from now on!"

At this time, Ma Qiushan took the initiative to ask: "Lin Hao, what do you think of Yunmiao Village?"

"The scenery is nice. I just took a walk around the village. This Yunmiao Village is quite large and the scenery is beautiful."

"This place is really good, with many talented people and beautiful scenery. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed here for so long!"

Seeing that Lin Hao was still standing, Ma Qiushan took the initiative to say, "Don't stand there. I'll pour you some black tea. Let's sit down and talk!"

"Thank you very much!" Lin Hao didn't hesitate and sat down on the wooden chair next to the small table, tasted the black tea poured by Machushan, and then started chatting.

After chatting for a while, Ma Qiushan asked curiously:

"By the way, Lin Hao, the minimum rent for Youfeng Courtyard is three months. What kind of job do you have that allows you to rest for such a long time?"

Lin Hao did not hide it and replied directly: "I am just a painter, so I can be considered a freelancer!"

Nana was not surprised. When she was in the restaurant before, she heard Xie Xiaochun say that Lin Hao came here to collect folk songs.

Instead, Da Mai looked at Lin Hao with curiosity, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ma Qiushan laughed and said:

"Oh, he's a painter. Our Youfeng Courtyard is full of talented people, including writers, singers, and painters. I just don't know who is coming from Room 6!"

"Meeting is destiny. We come from all corners of the world. Let's do something for the fate of being together here!"

"Okay~!" Everyone responded in unison, raised their teacups to show their respect and clinked glasses with Machushan.

At this time, Nana took the initiative to say to Lin Hao:
"Lin Hao, there are still many places worth visiting in Yunmiao Village, such as the horse farm, wood carving workshop, embroidery workshop...!"

"If you are interested, you can go and have a look. We also have a travel brochure in our little shop. If you need one, you can go to our little shop to get one tomorrow, or I will bring one to you when I come back tomorrow!"

"Thank you. If I want to go out tomorrow, I can come to your restaurant!" Lin Hao agreed with a smile.

Nana said happily: "Then you must come and have a look, our restaurant is very good."

Then Lin Hao asked:

"I heard from Xie Xiaochun that there are six rooms in Youfeng Courtyard. Including me, there are five people living here. In addition to you, there is another one. Are they getting along well?"

Nana took the initiative to introduce: "The other one is Mr. Hu from Room 4. The singer that Mr. Ma just mentioned is him. He is currently a resident singer in a bar in the ancient town. He is a very nice person!"

"Is that so? That's good!"

After chatting for a while, Lin Hao made the excuse of going back to his room to pack up, then said goodbye to everyone and went upstairs.

Seeing Nana and Damai staring at Lin Hao's departing back in a daze, Ma Qiushan said with a smile:

"Why, are you interested in her?"

Nana rolled her eyes: "Master Ma, please don't talk nonsense, I just think he is a little different!"

Barley also spoke up for once and refuted: "That's right, beautiful things shouldn't be looked at for a second!"

Seeing the two girls refute, Ma Qiushan was not angry, but smiled and reminded them:

"Based on my many years of experience in judging people, this Lin Hao is no ordinary person!"

"Do I need to tell you that? I can see that too!" Nana said unhappily.

Ma Qiushan shook his head and said, "You guys are still too young. What I said is not simple. It is different from what you think!"

"You only see that he is handsome and has a good temperament, but in my eyes, he is a person in a high position who has been giving orders for a long time."

"So, he is definitely not just a painter!" Ma Qiushan concluded.

Da Mai suddenly had an idea. If what Master Ma said was true, then it was not the routine of the domineering CEO in the novel, but the real-life big boss hidden behind the scenes. Then Da Mai’s thoughts drifted further and further~!

Nana was surprised when she heard this: "Master Ma, you can tell this? Then can you tell what he does?"

"Look at what you said. I do have some good sense, Master Ma. At least~!"

Just as he was about to brag about himself, Machushan seemed to have thought of something, and then he sighed with some disinterest:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. The information revealed is too little, so how can we guess? Let's drink tea, drink tea!"

Nana saw that she couldn't get anything out of him, and Lin Hao had already gone back to his room, so she felt that it was meaningless, so she waved her hand and declined:

"Forget it, I won't drink anymore. I've already had several cups. If I drink any more, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Then he got up and went back to his room. Da Mai also withdrew his thoughts and went back to his room, leaving Machushan alone to drink.

······
The next morning, Lin Hao got up early.

Seeing that no one had gotten up yet, he started to get busy in the kitchen of the courtyard. Soon, the kitchen was filled with fragrance.

Da Mai, with disheveled hair, came to the kitchen in a daze and immediately found Lin Hao making breakfast.

She usually writes at night and rests during the day. Originally, she planned to go to the kitchen to make something to eat after finishing the manuscript, and then go back to rest.

As a result, the manuscript was not finished yet, but the tempting aroma coming from the kitchen aroused her appetite. When she went downstairs, she saw Lin Hao cooking in the kitchen.

Seeing Da Mai who was still a little confused, Lin Hao smiled and said, "It's Da Mai, you came at the right time. I just made breakfast, let's eat together!"

"Ah~!" Da Mai blushed a little when she heard that. Her shyness and social anxiety made her not know what to say for a moment. She could only bite the bullet and say, "This is inappropriate!"

Noticing that Da Mai had even thought of a name for the child, Lin Hao had to explain with a smile:
"What's appropriate or inappropriate? I made breakfast for everyone in our courtyard!"

"Oh, so that's it!" Da Mai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, but for some reason, he felt a little disappointed.

"Ah~!" Da Mai suddenly saw his messy hair through the glass and said quickly, "Let me comb my hair first!"

Da Mai went upstairs, and Nana also came to the kitchen following the smell, followed by Nana and Hu Youyu, whom she had never met before.

After some greetings, everyone gathered in the restaurant to enjoy Lin Hao's breakfast.

After breakfast, Lin Hao followed Nana to the cafe where she worked.

When I came in, I saw Xie Xiaochun busy at work, and there was a teenager sitting at the bar. "What kind of coffee do you have here?"

Xie Xiaochun looked up when he heard this, and saw that it was Lin Hao and Nana. He was very surprised and asked, "Why are you here together?"

Lin Hao smiled and said:

"Nana said there's a travel guide for the village here. I'll come over for a cup of coffee and take a look at the guide, and then decide where to go!"

Xie Xiaochun glanced at Nana, then said with a smile:

"No problem, what do you want to drink? It's my treat, don't refuse, it's just a cup of coffee!"

Lin Hao smiled and replied: "Then I won't be polite, just give me a drink!"

"Okay, then you go in and sit down first, I'll take it to you soon!"

The boy sitting at the bar saw Lin Hao walk in and sit down, and asked curiously: "Who is he? Why haven't I seen him before?"

While Xie Xiaochun was busy, he replied:
"The new tenant of the courtyard just arrived yesterday, so you naturally haven't seen him. Xia Xia, why haven't you gone to your master yet?"

The boy's name is Xie Xiaoxia, and he is Xie Xiaochun's younger brother. He is currently learning wood carving from his master in a wood carving workshop.

"Oh, the new tenant of the courtyard!"

Xie Xiaoxia couldn't help but look at Lin Hao twice, then stood up and said, "I'm leaving first."

"Okay, let's go!"

Not long after Lin Hao sat down, Nana came over with a tray, placed a cup of coffee and a plate of snacks in front of him, and then handed Lin Hao a travel guide.

"This is a travel brochure made by Mr. Xie. It contains all the fun places in the village. Take a look at it first and then decide where to go."

"Okay, thank you!"

"No need, we're neighbors, no need to be so polite, and you even treated me to breakfast!"

Lin Hao picked up the travel brochure. It was called a brochure, but in fact it was just a few pages of paper, and he could read it all in a short while.

Yunmiao Village is just a village after all. There are limited places to play in the village, and many of the places above are near the village.

However, since it is close to Erhai Lake, the scenery here must be good. After just looking at it for a while, he decided where to go next.

Xie Zhiyao’s horse farm!

After coming out of the coffee shop, Lin Hao quickly found the horse farm east of the village according to the route map in the tourist brochure.

The horse farm requires a lot of space, so it is naturally impossible to build it inside the village, so it can only be built outside the village.

Although this place is very close to Erhai Lake, it is not the peak tourist season now, and Yunmiao Village has just begun to be built, so there are very few tourists coming here.

Anyway, as Lin Hao walked along, he saw relatively few tourists on the road, and most of the people there were locals.

We followed the stream to the horse farm, which was located on a green meadow. At first glance, we could see that the area of ​​the meadow was very large.

When you come here, you can smell a fresh and natural scent, which is actually the earthy smell of grass mixed with soil.

Seeing a fence and a wooden house in front of him, Lin Hao walked slowly towards that direction.

Maybe because it was still morning, there were not many people here. When he walked over, he only saw one person busy in the fence.
When I got closer, I saw a white horse with pure white hair, and there was a man next to the horse helping it wash.

"Hello, is this the horse ranch?"

Xie Zhiyao, the protagonist of this drama, who was washing his horse, turned around when he heard the voice and shouted back:

"Yes, this is the horse farm, wait a moment!"

He put down the tools in his hand and walked towards Lin Hao. When he saw that Lin Hao was a stranger, he started to ask.

"Hello, are you a tourist here? How can I help you?"

"I guess so. I came here yesterday and live in the Fengyuan Courtyard in your village. My name is Lin Hao."

"Oh, you live in Youfeng Courtyard. Hello, my name is Xie Zhiyao, and my home is right next to Youfeng Courtyard. Did you come here specially?"

Xie Zhiyao saw the travel brochure in Lin Hao's hand.

"Yes, I saw there was a horse farm here, so I wanted to come and take a look!"

"Then can you ride a horse?" Xie Zhiyao asked curiously.

"Yes!"

"Since you are a tenant of this courtyard, I will let you ride it for free today!"

Xie Zhiyao was very enthusiastic. He was a major shareholder of Youfeng Courtyard. Since Lin Hao was going to live in the courtyard for at least three months, they would have places to spend money in the village in the future.

So just consider it a benefit to ride a horse for free.

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "I do want to ride a horse, but it doesn't matter if it's free. I'll pay what I want!"

Seeing Lin Hao's firm attitude, Xie Zhiyao hesitated for a moment and did not insist:

"Well, we have four horses for people to ride. I'll take you to see them and you can choose one."

Lin Hao was unmoved, and pointed directly at the white horse that Xie Zhiyao was washing and asked:
"Can I ride that white horse?"

"Ah, you said this little cutie, it can be ridden, but it has a rather aggressive temper. Unless I hold it by the hand, it won't let anyone else ride it. Even my brother fell off when he was riding it!"

Xie Zhiyao didn't find it strange to see Lin Hao fell in love with Little Cutie. Little Cutie was the only white horse in the farm and was indeed more attractive in terms of appearance.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "I have tamed the most ferocious horse on the grassland. You can tell from the looks of it that it is a domestic horse. I will choose it!"

"Uh~, okay!" Xie Zhiyao smiled helplessly: "Then you have to wait for a while, I will wash it first!"

"Let me wash it and get familiar with the horse at the same time!" Lin Hao said as he took the horse washing tools.

Seeing Lin Hao washing the little cutie skillfully, he immediately knew that he was an expert who could ride a horse, so he felt relieved.

Lin Hao, who was washing the horse at this time, was already in a state of confusion. In his mind was the male protagonist in the play, who was also his potential love rival, so he had to nip him in the bud first.

Of course, it’s not the kind of killing that requires shouting and killing, but rather severing the bond between them. It would be best if they were strangers, not even ordinary friends.

Half an hour later, the little cutie was washed clean. Lin Hao helped it wipe off the water stains on its body and then interacted with the little cutie.

After the water stains on its body had dried, Lin Hao put on the saddle. At this time, Xie Zhiyao said with some concern:
"The little cutie has a hot temper. I'll calm him down first, and then~!"

"There's no need to be so troublesome, just leave it to me." Lin Hao said as he jumped onto the horse, grabbed the reins, and pulled hard.

"drive!"
