Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

In a flash, several months passed.

In a parallel universe, the time came to early July 1955.

The hot weather makes people feel irritable. Willow catkins are everywhere. Sometimes they float into your nostrils, and the sneeze can kill you.

Since returning from Qingming Festival, his life has changed dramatically.

Mr. Li Xianju, the seventh generation of the Tiger Cultivator, was very meticulous in his education.

First, a weight-bearing suit was made for him. The suit weighed 10 kilograms. It had sandbags tied to his limbs.

I also wear a small weighted vest. I take it off when I take a shower. I have to wear it even when I sleep. No matter whether it is hot or cold.

If he dared to take off the weight suit, the old man would kill him.

In the morning, he would train with Li Zihang and his second brother.

Of course, the intensity of my second brother’s training is a little higher than before.

But his training intensity is a world of difference compared to before.

In the morning, I put on a weight suit and held a 30-jin stone lock in horse stance for half an hour.

I practiced sparring with him for half an hour.

This sparring was different from other sparring. Li Zihang went all out and attacked Li Xianju in a real combat style.

The actual fighting here is not like in the movies, where you fight back and forth for dozens of rounds. Li Zihang's attacks are all aimed at killing people.

Li Xianju only defended but did not attack, occasionally counterattacking, while Li Zihang's moves were directed at the vital points.

Neck, aorta, temple, heart, eyes. Stomach, lung tube, liver. Hit wherever it is necessary to kill the person.

Attack once, miss, then go back and circle around to find the opponent's weakness. This saves energy and allows you to defend while finding the opponent's weakness.

After coming back from school in the evening, Ju Ye, holding a baton, gestured to a dummy, showing the various meridians and acupoints of the human body.

Attack any part of the body and it will hurt, but not hurt the person. Attack any acupuncture point and the person will fall down with one punch. Attack any part of the body and the person will suffer internal injuries, but the skin and flesh will not be injured at all. It's just like identifying acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine.

Every joint, acupuncture point and tendon was made to work hard on him and he had to memorize them. He was also asked to attack the dummy from time to time.

Wherever Ju Ye's baton points to an acupuncture point, Li Zihang will hit that point with his fist knuckles.

If I can't hit him, Ju Ye will just hit him on the painful spot with a stick as fast as lightning, so that he can feel the pain personally without hurting him.

Even though it may seem like there is no force when the baton is gently hitting the acupuncture points, the pain can make people feel like they are dying.

It's not an exaggeration. Li Zihang personally experienced being beaten and felt so painful that his muscles atrophied and twitched. Two minutes later, nothing happened. There was no scar at all.

After being beaten, he fell to the ground in pain. Anyway, the training over the past two months has made him look like a completely changed person.

He could easily jump to the top of the 5-meter-high wall of his home by stepping on it with one foot and grabbing a tiny gap in the wall tiles with his fingers. He easily climbed over the 5-meter-high wall.

This was when he was wearing a weight-bearing suit.

Mr. Ju, don’t be fooled by your face that looks like he’s in his thirties.

But he is only 3 years younger than the old man and is 57 years old this year.

The former kitchen courtyard next door has also been renovated.

In June, Li Shibai moved there with his wife, sister, and son.

Aunt Qi and her husband moved to the leadership compound just a few days after they returned.

Now, the whole courtyard only has Li Zihang's family of three, and Li Xianju and his wife. They live with Decai again.

I live at Dewang University and come back once a week.

Sometimes he doesn't come back and goes directly to live with Aunt Qi and her husband.

Decai would go there and stay for a couple of days on Sundays from time to time.

From being crowded at the beginning to being an empty house now, for a moment, grandma even missed the kids running around the yard in the past.

Li Shibai was assigned to work as a clinician at a century-old Chinese medicine clinic. Aunt Dongju was also assigned to work as an accountant at a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Shilan's aunt arranged for her to work as a cashier in a textile factory.

As for the Li Xianmin couple, in the words of the old man, why would they arrange jobs for people who are about to retire? They just need to take care of their grandson and teach Li Zihang at home, and raise fish and birds.

Is your family still short of food?

Since my grandmother found a partner, she would take Juye's partner out for a stroll every day, listening to operas, shopping, growing flowers, feeding birds, fish, and chickens.

Speaking of feeding chickens, all the Fentian eggs and white peacock eggs that Li Zihang brought back from Tianjin were hatched.

The two white peacocks are half-grown, their feathers have not yet officially molted, and they still look like chicks.

But ten Burning Sky Chickens would grow very big.

Chickens that are less than three months old can grow to 50 centimeters tall and weigh 7 kilograms.

He runs rampant in the backyard every day and is not afraid of anyone.

Last month, I messed with those three leopard cats one day. The three little creatures sneaked into the chicken coop in the middle of the night and killed four of them.

From then on, the cat and the remaining 6 Fentian Chickens became mortal enemies.

They always fight each other when they meet. They fight to the death. But as the six chickens grow bigger, the three cats are no match for them.

However, the three cats are getting better and better at cooperating. They will only attack the chickens when they are alone. If they miss, they will run away immediately.

The wolfhound we used to have at home lived in harmony with the two greyhounds.

The backyard was filled with two waves of little creatures, making it a mess. From time to time, there would be a cat-and-chicken fight.

This also brings a lot of fun to the two old men and grandmother.

Whenever they fight, the four of us, no matter what we are doing, will run to the backyard to watch the cat and chicken fight. It is a fun thing to watch.

Cats talk about strategy, and chickens gradually start to play tactics.

Recently, the chickens started to deliberately stay alone to attract the cat to catch them. Then the remaining 5 chickens were ready at all times. When they saw the cat coming, they rushed over.

Once they almost pecked a little leopard cat to death.

If the people who were watching the fun hadn't stepped in to stop the fight, the kitten's intestines would have been pecked out.

The injured kitten has been well behaved for half a month until now.

However, the three of them would occasionally stare at the chicken coop from the top of the wall. It was obvious from their looks that they had bad intentions.

I guess after the injured kitten recovers, there will still be a big fight.

The renovation of the backyard has greatly changed the overall layout.

From the central courtyard’s hanging flower gate, follow the veranda to the back garden.

First, the corridor passes through the rockery, the bridge passes the fish pond, and then comes to the pavilion.

Follow the pavilion all the way to the three two-story houses in the backyard.

There is an open space of 200 square meters in the middle, where a U-shaped garden was built, with flowers planted on the outside and vegetables planted on the inside.

The corridor goes straight through the U-shaped vegetable garden, like the Chinese character "中".

On both sides of the wall, there are enclosed glass sun rooms with corridors that are 22 meters long, 2 meters wide and 3.5 meters high.

The east and west sides are the same. The east glass sun room is divided into two parts. A partition is made in the middle, and doors are left at both ends. One half is used to raise Fentian chickens and white peacocks. The other half is used to raise normal chickens and Luding chickens.

To the west, there is a glass house. It has the same layout.

Half is used as a cat house and half is used as a dog house.

Two more side rooms were built on the east and west sides of the two-story building, each 50 square meters, which also greatly reduced the open space in the back garden.

The east ear room is the practice room for Li Zihang and Li Xianmin.

The west wing was temporarily vacant. The house where Aunt Qi and her husband had lived before was kept intact, so that they would have a place to stay when they came back.

During dinner.

"Grandson, Xiao Yushui, and Xiaocai. The three of you should be careful when you go to the backyard recently."

"Don't let the three cats out. Those three little guys have been completely beaten up since their last fight."

"It's a fight to the death with those chickens. I guess they'll fight again after their wounds heal. They won't stop until everyone on one side is dead or completely scared."

Decai: "No, I don't want any of them to die."

Grandma: "If you don't want them to die, why do you let the chickens out?"

Decai replied a little embarrassedly: "I forgot to close the door when I was feeding the chickens last time. Who knew that the chickens would run out and peck Xiaohua."

There are three leopard cats. The eldest is named Dahua, the second is named Xiaohua, and the third is named Sanhua.

These names were all given by Xiao Yushui. The group of people were not proud of her, so they just followed her.

Grandma: "You don't want them to die. Remember, when you let the chickens out, don't let the cats out too. And vice versa. Don't let them meet each other."

"Otherwise, just like last month, I ate chicken for over a week."

"Look at how big those chickens are. If they do that again, I'll probably end up eating cat meat."

After saying this, grandma was still looking at Li Zihang.

"It's all your fault. You brought all the cats and dogs, chickens and peacocks in the backyard back home."

"They just bring them home without taking care of them. The flowers I just planted last time were ruined by them fighting."

Li Zihang was not afraid either, and said cheerfully: "It would be a shame to leave such a big backyard empty without raising some small animals."

"I'm waiting for the puppies to grow up, and the chickens to grow up. There's no need for anyone to look after the backyard, just having them is enough."

"When the time comes, let alone thieves, even if you see them in the daytime, you will be scared. They are really good at guarding the house."

The old man and his companions were silenced by his sophistry and lies.

Grandma: "If it weren't for the fact that they still have this use, it would be a waste of food to keep them."

In this era, no matter ordinary people or wealthy families, no one has any concept of the word "pet"!

We raise dogs to guard the house, we raise chickens for food, and we raise cats to catch mice.

In this era of material scarcity, we raise animals with practical considerations.

Apart from those top families, there are also those who have the leisure to keep pets.

Li Xianju said cheerfully: "If our ancestors saw those six chickens, they would probably die of joy. If we don't study them, we will be unworthy of their reputation."

The old man put down his chopsticks: "Ancestors? Are they coming?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Xianmin nodded.

"I recently saw the mark of the eleventh ancestor. I guess it won't be long before he comes to our house."

To be honest, ever since Ju Ye, the super master, moved into their house.

The old man now sleeps much more peacefully. Not to mention ordinary cats and dogs, even if a group of fully armed soldiers come, he is not afraid.

The terrifying power of his own mature white tiger bloodline was imprinted in his heart and engraved in his bones.
