Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

Yan Bugui wanted to keep Li Tianyou at home for dinner, but Li Tianyou thought about the character of his third uncle Yan Laokou and decided to give up. He decided to go home and open a can of food and then said goodbye to the Yan family.

Li Tianyou might not have thought that his arrival had slowly begun to change the trajectory of Yan Bugui's life. Yan Bugui had been planning to spend a lot of money to let Li Tianyou have dinner at Yan's house, but he did not expect that Li Tianyou would actually leave.

After Li Tianyou got home, he took out the canned food, heated it up and started eating. Having nothing to do, Li Tianyou finished his meal and came to Sun's house. Seeing Li Tianyou coming, Sun Jiacai said, "Chief Li, have you eaten?"

Li Tianyou thought that he was the first one in the courtyard to come to the Sun family to speak for him, so he wanted to make another good relationship with them. He took a bunch of pig offal (pig heart, liver, large and small intestines, and pig lungs) and went to the Sun family.

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Brother Sun, I helped the factory to transport supplies yesterday, and they gave me some pig offal. I brought you a set, so don't refuse. You are the first person who spoke up for me since I came to the Siheyuan. This is my thank you gift to your family."

Sun Jiacai quickly refused: "Chief Li, this won't work. We just said a few words. How can we accept such a valuable thing from you? No, no."

Li Tianyou looked at the little girl next to Sun Jiacai, put the pig offal on the table in Sun Jiacai's house, squatted down, took out a big White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, handed it to the little girl and said: "This is for you, what's your name?"

The little girl stared at the nipple in Li Tianyou's hand, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, she looked at Sun Jiacai. Sun Jiacai said, "Chief Li, this is my daughter, Sun Xiaomin." Then he said to the little girl, "Xiaomin, take the candy that Chief Li gave you."

Only after Sun Jiacai said that did the little girl Sun Xiaomin dare to reach out and take the candy from Li Tianyou's hand.

Looking at Sun Xiaomin, Li Tianyou was secretly shocked in his heart. They were all children. Look at the children of the Sun family, and then look at the children of the Jia family. I really can't compare them.

Li Tianyou also figured it out. The Jia family is a family of ungrateful people. In the original plot, Sha Zhu gave up his own son for the sake of the Jia family and was willing to support several ungrateful people in the Jia family. However, Widow Qin was unwilling to even give birth to a child for Sha Zhu. If the deaf old lady had not plotted against Lou Xiao'e, Sha Zhu would really have no descendants.

There are various explanations for why a widow like Qin got an IUD. Li Tianyou thinks the most obvious one is that if Sha Zhu had a biological son, would he leave everything to the ungrateful people in the Jia family?

Later, it was said that Banggeng drove Shazhu out and died on the roadside, but Li Tianyou didn't believe it. Shazhu left too many things behind and too many people knew about it. If Shazhu's own son knew about it, Banggeng would be in big trouble. (Based on the film and television drama, Zidong has not read the original novel of Siheyuan.)

Sha Zhu might not have a good life in his later years, but he would definitely not be thrown on the roadside to die.

Seeing Sun Xiaomin taking the candy in his hand, Li Tianyou also smiled. Sun Xiaomin said: "Thank you, Uncle Li Section Chief."

Li Tianyou frowned and said, "Why call me uncle? Call me brother. Do you understand? From now on, if you call me brother, you will have delicious food. If you call me uncle, you will not have any."

Sun Jiacai also smiled and said, "Chief Li, let Xiaomin take the candy, and you can take the pig offal, it's really too expensive."

Li Tianyou also sighed in his heart, indeed, this little thing is good in this world.

However, Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Brother Sun, just take it. I don't have any more. I can't eat so much by myself. Brother Sun, don't tell anyone. After all, our yard is not so peaceful."

After saying that, Li Tianyou left without waiting for Sun Jiacai to reply.

Sun Jiacai wanted to say something, but seeing Li Tianyou left directly, he didn't know what to do. Want it? Of course, in this day and age, steamed bread is rationed, and everyone wants to have meat. Sun Jiacai looked at his daughter, sighed, and took the pig offal left by Li Tianyou into the house.

Sun Xiaomin looked at the direction Li Tianyou left, opened the candy, bit off a third of it, kept it in her mouth, and wrapped the rest in candy paper, saying softly: "Thank you, Brother Li."

When Li Tianyou went to Sun Jiacai's house, he had nothing in his hands. He took it out from the space when he arrived at Sun Jiacai's door.

So some people in the courtyard knew that Li Tianyou came to Sun Jiacai's house, but they didn't know what he was doing.

Li Tianyou returned home and lay on the bed, thinking to himself, after studying for so long, he still didn't understand how the space was expanded. This gave Li Tianyou a headache.

Li Tianyou wondered if after the mall opened, he would know how to expand the space for planting and breeding.

Li Tianyou turned over and the creaking sound of the bed made him feel overwhelmed.

Li Tianyou thought to himself, forget it, I can’t wait any longer. I had originally planned to see if there were any better beds in the mall after it opened, but in this situation, I can only buy one to make do.

Li Tianyou went out. Seeing Li Tianyou go out, Bang Geng said, "Grandma, that little beast is out. Should I go to his house now to see if there is anything delicious?"

Jia Zhang stared with her triangular eyes, frowned at the direction where Li Tianyou left and said, "My dear grandson, you can't go to this little beast's home for the time being."

Bang Geng asked in confusion: "Grandma, why?"

Jia Zhang said: "This little beast cannot be provoked now. You have to wait until that old man Yi Zhonghai catches him. My dear grandson, you can go."

Bang Geng said: "Ah, how long do we have to wait, grandma, I want to eat meat."

Jia Zhang thought to herself, I want to eat too, but Yi Zhonghai hasn’t caught this little beast yet. If something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to deal with in the future.

Jia Zhang said: "My dear grandson, don't be anxious. I will ask Yi Zhonghai to find a solution later. My dear grandson, please be patient."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Banggeng turned his eyes and looked in the direction of Xu Damao's house.

In the afternoon, after Li Tianyou bought the bed, he had it sent back and replaced the original squeaky bed.

Li Tianyou saw that there was one chicken missing from Xu Damao's chicken coop. He felt something was wrong. He thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he lay down on his newly bought bed to catch up on his sleep.

In the afternoon, the steel mill got off work and the workers returned home one after another.

Xu Damao also returned home and said, "Ezi, you are too tired from showing movies in the countryside. Kill a chicken in the cage at home to satisfy your craving. I heard that everyone in the factory had meat at noon today, and I missed it."

Lou Xiao'e said uninterestedly: "Oh, you go and kill them, I can't do it."

Xu Damao curled his lips and thought to himself, when I get home from get off work, if I want to eat something, I have to cook it myself.

Xu Damao thought about it and went outside to catch and kill the chicken, but he looked at the cage again and again and exclaimed: "Ezi, Ezi, come quickly."

Lou Xiao'e came out of the house and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xu Damao shouted, "Ezi, why is there one chicken missing from our house? Did you give it away?"

Lou Xiaoe frowned and said, "No, I had a headache today and stayed at home all day without going out. I thought you gave the chicken away."

Xu Damao said: "Who can I give it to? It was given to me by the commune when I went to the countryside to show movies."

Lou Xiao'e said: "Then the chicken can't have escaped from the cage by itself, right?"

Xu Damao said quickly: "Hurry up, search in each courtyard."

After saying that, he and Lou Xiao'e ran to find it.

At this time, Xu Damao sniffed and said, "What is this smell?"

Lou Xiao'e also sniffed her nose and said, "It seems like someone is stewing chicken in the middle courtyard."

After hearing this, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e came to Sha Zhu's house. Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e looked at the chicken in Sha Zhu's casserole.

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao and said, "Hey, don't drool in there, you're looking there."

Xu Damao pointed at the chicken in the casserole and said, "Let me ask you, Shazhu, where did this chicken come from?"

Sha Zhu said impatiently: "What's your business?"

Xu Damao said angrily: "Did you steal from our family?"

Sha Zhu was also angry and said: "Ask it, do you have chickens at home? Do you have chickens at home?"

Xu Damao shouted, "Don't act stupid in front of me. I brought back two chickens a few days ago and kept them in my chicken coop for two days. How come they are gone?"

Sha Zhu said: "What does that have to do with me..."

Lou Xiao'e said at this time: "Shazhu, you are too greedy, aren't you? No matter how greedy you are, you can't steal our chicken. My wife and I couldn't bear to eat this chicken, we kept it for laying eggs."

Sha Zhu also said loudly: "Yes, yes, you two should really consider laying eggs."

As they were talking, Xu Damao picked up the Yitian sword on the ground, and Sha Zhu picked up the Tetanus Blade on the chopping board, and the two started blaming each other.

The plot soon came to the whole hospital meeting.

Li Tianyou was happily stewing stew at home when Liu Guangtian called out to him, "Section Chief Li, Section Chief Li."

When Li Tianyou opened the door, Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "You are Liu Guangtian from the second uncle's family, right?"

Liu Guangtian was delighted and said, "It's me, Liu Guangtian. I didn't expect Section Chief Li still remembered me."

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "What's the matter? Guang Tian."

Liu Guangtian smelled the aroma wafting from the stewed food made by Li Tianyou, and said with a movement of his throat: "Chief Li, our hospital is holding a general meeting, and my father asked me to call you." After saying that, he glanced towards Li Tianyou's room.

Li Tianyou frowned and thought, is it a donation to the Jia family? Why is there a meeting of the whole hospital?

Li Tianyou was in no mood to pay attention to Liu Guangtian, so he called Liu Guangtian and went to the Intermediate Court together.

After Li Tianyou arrived at the Intermediate Court, he asked Liu Guangtian in a low voice. Liu Guangtian told Li Tianyou what happened and said that Xu Damao said that Sha Zhu stole his chicken.

Li Tianyou frowned secretly when he heard this, thinking, is this the beginning of the plot? Li Tianyou remembered that the plot of Siheyuan should have started in 65, how could it be so many years earlier.

Li Tianyou finally understood. He always felt something was wrong but couldn't remember what it was. Now he understood that Jia Dongxu should not have died in 1959, or had just died. But when he came to the hospital, Jia Dongxu had been dead for several years.

Li Tianyou frowned. He had ignored this problem. Now thinking about it, the timeline was indeed wrong. No wonder he always felt something was weird.

Li Tianyou felt uncomfortable and couldn't figure it out. He thought to himself that he should ask the system later.

Then he looked intently at the three gentlemen sitting at the square table for the whole college meeting.
