Siheyuan: Sending the whole courtyard to jail at the beginning

"Dangdangdang~"

Lin Beijun tidied the house and was about to go out to do something very important when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it? The door is not locked, come in."

The door opened and a group of people came in.

The leader was a hunchbacked old man who was leaning on a broken stick as a crutch. On his left and right were a boy of about sixteen or seventeen and a little girl of about eleven or twelve supporting him. Lin Beijun had just met the little girl yesterday. She was the granddaughter of Old Liu, who had done his family a favor. The identity of the old man was obvious.

Lin Beijun was stunned. Was this old, thin, sickly Yang Yang still the tall and straight-backed Grandpa Liu in his memory?

Old Liu greeted with a smile, "Beijun, are you busy? Did we disturb you?"

"Are you Grandpa Liu? Oh my god, how come you are so thin? And your back is hunched? Please take a seat. Please take a seat. Xiaoqiang, Xiaowei, Damin, Jiazi, Xiaoyi, you can also take a seat."

Lin Beijun hurriedly went over to help Old Man Liu sit down, and at the same time asked everyone to sit down.

"Hey, okay."

Zhang Daming responded with a smile and sat down somewhat awkwardly, while Xiaoqiang, Xiaowei, Wu Jia and Wu Yi were particularly awkward, especially the two brothers of the Wu family. After looking at the clean room and then at their own dirty selves, they did not sit down but stood there.

Old man Liu was very happy to see Lin Beijun. His wrinkled face was always smiling. He patted Lin Beijun's hand and said, "Haha, I'm old and useless. I'm sick all over. I don't know how long I can live."

"If you are sick, we should treat it, right? You have worked so hard to raise Xiaoqiang and Xiaowei, so just wait and enjoy your life in the future."

Xiaoqiang, the eldest grandson of old man Liu, clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he must make more money to treat his grandfather's illness and let his grandfather live a happy life, just like Brother Beijun said!

"Haha, you're right. I haven't seen you for five years. You've really changed a lot, Beijun. You have a strong build and a nice physique."

"Hey, the food in the army is good."

Old man Liu nodded, his eyes full of reminiscence, and sighed, "The army is a good place to train people."

"By the way, Beijun, you came to our house yesterday, so why did you take things? How distant is that? Xiaowei is young and doesn't understand, but Grandpa Liu can't take the things back to you, that would be a slap in your family's face."

"Look, I asked Xiaoqiang to buy a pack of cigarettes. Xiaoqiang, why don't you give it to your brother Jun?"

Liu Jianqiang's heart was bleeding. This pack of cigarettes cost more than two yuan, which was nearly half a month's wages for him. But he understood that this was a courtesy and something he had to do. Besides, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin had taken good care of their family when they were alive.

He grinned, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him with both hands, saying a little embarrassedly, "Brother Beijun, this cigarette is not very good, you smoke it, and I will buy you good cigarettes when I make money in the future."

Zhang Daming and the two brothers of the Wu family were all stunned and looked embarrassed.

The two brothers of the Wu family have no money. They just paid back the money they earned recently yesterday. Now the two brothers can only take out a little more than ten cents from their pockets.

"Well, Jun, we just returned the money to them, and we are really out of money now. Can we buy something to visit you after we get our salary in a few days?"

The two men, who were over seven feet tall, had embarrassed and guilty looks on their faces.

The same thing happened to Zhang Damin. They met at the gate of Lin's house, and they didn't know the purpose of each of them looking for Lin Beijun. He understood what Old Man Liu meant. This was a matter of reciprocity, but, but the family was really poor and couldn't afford the gift.

Lin Beijun said unhappily, "Master Liu, what are you talking about? As a younger generation and an older brother, isn't it my duty to visit my grandfather and my brothers and sisters? You asked Xiaoqiang to spend money to buy cigarettes for me, which is really a slap in my face."

"And Jiazi and Xiaoyi, you guys coming to see me means you treat me as a brother, I'm already very happy. Taking things from you would seem awkward."

Lin Beijun smiled and patted Master Liu's hand, then looked at everyone in the room, and said with a sincere tone and eyes,

"Our families can be said to be old friends, and we have always been on good terms."

"Just like when my father passed away, wasn't it you who helped with the process? You contributed money and effort. Xiaoqiang held up the photo for me, Xiaowei scattered paper money along the way, Damin, Damao, Jiazi, and Xiaoyi helped carry the coffin, and you, Master Liu, and Uncle Zhang, were in poor health, so you used crutches to carry my father.

Compared to the kindness you have shown my family, what does it mean for me to bring something to our family?"

"this......"

After hearing what Lin Beijun said, Old Man Liu was speechless and didn't know how to respond for a moment. He had lived in poverty all his life, had never been to school, and didn't know how to speak of big principles.

It was Wu Yi who spoke up. He was 3 years younger than Lin Beijun and was 17 this year. He had been a child of other families since he was young. He was very good at studying, so he knew a lot.

"Brother Jun, this is different. Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin are both kind people. Since I can remember, they have taken special care of my family and always helped us. When my parents passed away, Uncle Lin also helped a lot. We are repaying them."

Lin Beijun's smile became even more intense. "Yes, you said this is repaying a favor. You repay my parents' favor, and I repay yours. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"You sent my father away. This is a favor to me, a huge favor! A favor that I can never repay."

"My parents are kind people, so as their son, can't I learn to be a kind person? We are all from the same courtyard and have known each other for decades. As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Isn't it just that you help me and I help you?"

"When my parents were able, they helped everyone to the best of their ability. So when my parents passed away, and I, an unfilial son, was not around, didn't you help bury them?"

"Now that I have the conditions and reasons, why can't I help you?"

"Master Liu, Brother Damin, Jiazi, Xiaoyi, Xiaoqiang, Xiaowei, if you agree with what I said, and if you agree with me, Lin Beijun, and treat me as a family member, then please stop saying these polite words."

Everyone was moved by Lin Beijun.

Liu Weiwei, who was only 11 years old and in the first grade of junior high school, blinked her big dark eyes and looked at Lin Beijun. She was at that age and didn't know too many things, but she knew that this strange older brother was a good person.

"Grandpa," Liu Jianqiang looked at his brother Beijun, whom he had admired and appreciated since childhood, and agreed with his grandfather's words. Seeing that his grandfather didn't say anything, he called out softly.

Zhang Daming and the brothers Wu Jia and Wu Yi felt relieved and grateful.

"Haha, it's me, an old guy, who is confused. Beijun, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Xiaolin and his family gave birth to a good son."

Old man Liu said this with a feeling of being moved and ashamed. This was considered as his agreement with what Lin Beijun said.

Then he looked at Zhang Daming and the two brothers of the Wu family, all of them smiled silently and nodded at him.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lin Beijun smiled happily, "Haha, Mr. Liu, what are you talking about? We are all neighbors and a family. It's a bit strange to say that."

"Haha, Xiaojun is right."

Old man Liu was cheerful and very happy.

"Haha, we don't need to be divided this time, right? Master Liu, Brother Damin, Jiazi, you don't know that I'm still racking my brains over how to send you things and move furniture."

"Ah? Still giving it away?"

Zhang Damin was a little confused, and so were the others. Didn’t they deliver a lot of things yesterday? "

Lin Beijun pointed to the room full of stuff and said helplessly, "Look at how much stuff is piled up in this house? There is only a narrow path, and two people can't even pass by. The same is true for the kang. It's just a narrow path where you can only sit for a while, and it's hard to sleep."

Zhang Daming nodded in agreement. "Why did you have no place to sleep for two nights? It's not a big deal. If you turn over in this narrow strip, you will fall to the ground."

Lin Beijun's face was a little hot. Brother Damin, I'm not going home not because the house is crowded, but...

At the same time, I was shocked. This era was not as open as later generations, but particularly conservative.

For example, kissing your partner on the street is normal in modern times, right? But in this era, people will say that you are violating moral standards, and you may even be caught by the street and given a lecture.

For example, if you sleep with your partner before getting married and people find out, they will inevitably point fingers at you and say all kinds of things about you. They will say that you are living an immoral life and are a disgrace to public opinion, which is very damaging to your reputation.

I haven't been in the courtyard for the past two days. I don't know what these beasts in the courtyard will say.

It seems that I won’t be able to hug my sweet-smelling wife to sleep tonight.

Oh, miss Sister Xueru one day...

"Right? You said there's no room for all these things in the house, and it's too cold outside, so everything will freeze. The two rooms next to my house are going to be renovated soon, so I really have no place to put them."

"Besides, I'm the only one at home, so I can't use all these things, right? I'm planning to decorate my wedding room directly, and many of these furniture are old. I'm going to keep the things in my parents' room, and I plan to replace the others with new ones."

"But what should I do with the old ones? I can't bear to throw them away, but they are not antiques and worthless if I sell them. It's also troublesome to sell them in a trust store. Mr. Liu, Brother Damin, Jiazi, if you don't mind, I'll give you these old furniture, okay?"

"Just consider it as helping me make room, okay?"

"How can this be possible?"

"No, no, the Northern Army absolutely cannot do this."

Some families choked up, how could old furniture be worthless?

This was simply an excuse Lin Beijun made up to help the three families.

They believe that there is no trust store that would refuse to accept any of these furniture. Even if they don't, they can still get some money by selling them to a scrap yard, right?

"Okay, Jun boy, since you've said so much, I'll accept this favor. When Xiaoqiang and Xiaowei grow up, let them report you."

When Old Liu spoke, the three families were all surprised, but Lin Beijun was very happy.

"Hey, isn't that it? Let's all help."

"Xiao Qiang, this study table of big brother is a god's table. Big brother can study so well and always get the first place in the exam. It has played an indispensable role. I will give it to you. You must study hard in the future and live up to my kindness. Xiao Wei, you too."

"Xiao Yi, this is my brother's photo for you. Hehe, although my brother's grades are a little worse than mine, he is still a top student..."
