The life of a villain in a courtyard

In the winter of 1963, a train slowly pulled into the station, and a tall young man who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old walked out of the train.

The man's name was Su Yun, a time traveler from the future. He still remembered that day when he was working overtime in the office. Suddenly he felt dizzy and then darkness came over him. When he woke up again, he had arrived in the countryside in the 1960s and became a farmer's son.

He originally thought that this was miserable enough, but he did not expect that when he was thirteen years old, his father went hunting in the mountains and never came back. When he was found, he had been mauled to death by a blind bear. His mother also fell ill and eventually lost her life. Fortunately, his ancestors had once been wealthy, but later chose to hide in this mountain valley because of the war. This directly led to the country classifying the Su family as middle peasants when determining the class status, and the Su family's life became much better as a result.

After his parents died, they left Su Yun a lot of gold and some antiques. These were left by their ancestors. The family adhered to the concept of not revealing wealth to others, and no one discovered them during his life in the village for so many years. Su Yun also lived on these things.

Just a month ago, the village chief called Su Yun to his home and said that someone had written him a letter from Sijiu City. After Su Yun took it, he found out that the letter came from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiu City. It turned out that he had an uncle. A few years ago, his uncle had a falling out with his father because of some things and they had never had any contact since then. His father had never mentioned this person to him.

The letter said that his uncle had an accident in the factory more than ten days ago and was killed by parts that flew out of the machine. His uncle had no descendants, so Su Yun was asked to go and receive his inheritance and inherit his job. Su Yun took all the valuables in the house, bid farewell to the village where he had lived for more than ten years, and took the train to Sijiucheng.

“This is what the city was like in the 1960s.”

Su Yun looked at the ancient city in front of him, took a deep breath, then picked up his bag and walked out of the train station.

There were a lot of people gathered in front of the train station, some were hawking their wares, some were picking up people. Just when Su Yun didn't know where to go, an old man on a tricycle came up to him.

"Young man, would you like a ride?"

This old man usually makes money by picking up people at the train station. When he saw Su Yun carrying a lot of bags and looking confused, he knew that this must be his first time in the city, so he hurried over to see if he could do some business.

"Uncle, how much does it cost to go to Nanluoguxiang Street Office?"

"Sanmao."

After hearing this, Su Yun put all his luggage in the old man's car and got in.

"Okay, sit tight, young man."

You know what, although this old man is quite old, he pedals the tricycle very fast. He was chatting with Su Yun while pedaling the tricycle.

"Where are you from, young man? Are you coming to Sijiu City to seek refuge with your relatives?"

"I'm from Liaoning Province, and I came to Sijiucheng for work."

"Work? Young man, you have a formal job in the city! Where is it?"

"It's the Red Star Steel Mill."

When Su Yun saw this name a few days ago, he thought of the bird in later generations that made people's blood pressure soar. Oh, no, it should be "Love in the Courtyard". But he thought that he should not be so unlucky to come to this world. After all, every family needs to eat dumplings.

"Red Star Steel Rolling Mill! That's incredible. It's one of the largest factories in our city. You're really lucky to be able to work there, young man."

The old man's eyes were full of envy. His biggest wish was to have a formal job so that he wouldn't have to rely on God for his food like he does now.

The old man pedaled for half an hour and finally stopped on a street.

"Young man, this is the Nanluoguxiang Street Office. Just go there directly."

"Thank you, sir."

Su Yun gave the cyclist three cents, picked up his luggage and turned to go into the street office.

There are about seven or eight desks in the street office. There is a clerk at each desk and a pile of documents in front of each clerk. It seems that they are very busy recently.

"Lady, may I ask where your Director Wang is?"

Su Yun remembered that the letter was written to him by a director named Wang Caixia, so he asked them where Director Wang was.

The female comrade pointed in one direction without even raising her head.

"Thank you."

Su Yun walked towards that direction and saw an old lady with gray hair sitting there, talking to someone.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Director Wang Caixia?"

"It's me, little comrade, what do you want from me?"

"Director Wang, my name is Su Yun. You wrote to me and asked me to come here."

"Su Yun."

Director Wang thought for a long time before he remembered what was going on.

"You are Lao Su's nephew. Look at my poor memory. Did you bring everything I asked you to bring?"

"I've brought them all."

Su Yun took out several documents from his bag, including the certificate issued by the village and the letter written to him by the street office. He kept these things close to him, fearing that if he lost them, he would not be able to come to Sijiu City.

Director Wang took it and looked at it for a long time, then nodded.

"Yes, this is the letter I wrote."

After saying that, he started rummaging in the drawer, and soon took out a key and a small notebook.

"This is your food allowance. This city is different from the countryside. You won't get any food without this."

Su Yun took it and thanked Director Wang.

"Xiao Su, let me tell you, this Red Star Courtyard has been the model courtyard in Nanluoguxiang for three consecutive years. There are three old men in the courtyard. If you have any problems in the courtyard, you can go to them in the future."

Director Wang took Su Yun to the Red Star Courtyard. The more Su Yun listened, the more he felt something was wrong. How could this be exactly the same as the plot in the Courtyard?

"Auntie Wang, what are the names of those three uncles?"

"The first uncle is Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter at the Red Star Steel Mill. The second uncle is Liu Haizhong, a seventh-level forger at the Red Star Steel Mill. The third uncle is Yan Fugui, a Chinese teacher at the Red Star Primary School."

Well, it’s a hellish start. Su Yun shook his head helplessly. It really fits the saying that when you try your best in the first round, you will suffer defeats all night long.

"Oh, here we are. This is the Red Star Courtyard."

Director Wang pointed to a yard and spoke to Su Yun.

Director Wang was walking towards the yard with Su Yun when they bumped into a skinny old man wearing glasses.

"Hey, isn't this Director Wang? How come you have time to come to our courtyard?"

"Old Yan, I'm bringing someone to your courtyard to help us find our way around. This is the nephew of Old Su from your courtyard. He will be a resident of your courtyard from now on."

"Xiao Su, this is Yan Fugui, the third uncle of the Red Star Courtyard, and also a teacher at the Red Star Primary School. If you have any problems in this courtyard in the future, you can come to him and he will help you solve them."

"Hello, Third Uncle."

Although Su Yun didn't like Yan Fugui, who was a calculating person, he still had basic courtesy.
