Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

Li Tianyou looked at the ingredients in the house. The meat and flour were gone. What should he do? Forget it. Let's just eat something outside later.

At that time, there was nothing delicious to eat outside. You needed a ticket to buy everything, and supplies were in short supply everywhere. Even if there were some good things, ordinary people couldn't eat them.

Just when Li Tianyou didn't know how to eat, someone knocked on his door.

Bang, bang, bang

"Is Comrade Tianyou here?" the visitor asked.

When Li Tianyou heard this, he was surprised: The third uncle is here.

Li Tianyou opened the door and said, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Yan Bugui looked at Li Tianyou who opened the door and said with a smile: "I see you didn't go out to buy anything today, and you haven't eaten dinner yet, so I sent you something, please don't despise it."

Li Tianyou was delighted when he heard this. It was not easy. This calculating third uncle actually took the initiative to send him food. It was really not easy.

But when Li Tianyou saw it, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, two steamed buns and a dozen pickles...

However, Li Tianyou knew that it was the same in Third Uncle's family, where food was distributed. He took the "dinner" in Third Uncle's hand with a touched face. After pouring the "dinner" into his own bowl, he returned the bowl to Yan Bugui. Li Tianyou also grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and gave them to Yan Bugui.

The two chatted for a while, and Yan Bugui left on the grounds of not disturbing Li Tianyou's dinner.

After returning home, Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Look, old woman." Then he took out a handful of milk candies.

The third aunt also said with a smile: "Old Yan, this young man is not bad, and he gave us so many candies."

Yan Bugui curled his lips and said, "Old woman, let me tell you, even though he is young, he is a cadre, a descendant of a martyr, and a combat hero himself."

The third aunt said: "Yes, yes, yes, then is that Jia Zhang still quarreling with others?"

Yan Bugui said: "Don't worry about Jia Zhang. They were spoiled by Old Yi. Anyone can cause trouble. Today is going to be interesting." After saying that, Yan Bugui also laughed.

Why did Li Tianyou ask Yan Bugui to share the eggs with him? Because Yan Bugui is a mercenary and he will listen to you if you give him some benefits. He will do whatever you ask him to do to support you. Why not get a good helper for some small things?

After Yi Zhonghai returned home, an auntie said, "Old Yi, the new guy is a very nice guy. Do you still want to help Jia Zhang?"

Yi Zhonghai was also worried at this time. The new resident gave everyone eggs and candies and was smiling all the time, so why did Jia Zhang start arguing with him?

But he had already promised Jia Zhangshi, and he couldn't go back on his word now. Also, this was to instill in Sha Zhu the idea that he shouldn't hit the elderly.

The reason why Sha Zhu will continue to help the elderly people in the courtyard is inseparable from the subtle influence of Yi Zhonghai.

Imagine that someone taught you since you were young to be filial to the elderly, not to fight with them, and that the elderly are only doing it for your own good. This concept is very similar to the current idea that your mother is only doing it for your own good.

Li Tianyou looked at the steamed corn bread and pickles in the bowl. He took a bite of the corn bread. It tasted astringent and bad, and was extremely difficult to swallow.

Li Tianyou swallowed it with difficulty and felt a sore throat.

Li Tianyou looked at the steamed bread in his hand and thought to himself, this is not what the world before he traveled through time and space said it tasted like.

I remember that there was a private restaurant selling steamed bread at that time, and it had opened many franchise stores? That's it? Even dogs wouldn't eat it.

Li Tianyou directly dropped the steamed bread.

Bang, bang, bang

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Li Tianyou opened it and looked at the person knocking on the door, a slightly plump young man, and said, "You must be new here today. You must have gone to the Intermediate Court to attend a general meeting."

Li Tianyou thought to himself that this person must be Liu Haizhong’s second son, Liu Tianguang.

Li Tianyou nodded, went out, closed the door and followed.

Li Tianyou came to the Intermediate Court.

I saw a table in front of me, and sitting at the top was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 50s. He had short hair that had turned a little gray, and looked quite dignified.

Li Tianyou knew at a glance that this was Uncle Yi Zhonghai, the god of morality in the courtyard.

Then there is a fat guy sitting on the right, who at first glance is the ultimate official-loving uncle with bangs in the courtyard.

The third uncle Yan Bugui was sitting on the left. When he saw Li Tianyou coming, he smiled at him.

Li Tianyou also nodded to Yan Bugui, then found a place to stand there.

Seeing that everyone was here, Yan Bugui stood up and said, "Today, a new resident came to our yard, living in the backyard. Today, we also gave everyone eggs. I believe everyone has known him. For the rest, let the second uncle of our yard tell you about it."

Li Tianyou laughed when he heard this. This was the benefit brought by eight eggs and two handfuls of toffee. Look how sensible Uncle Yan Bugui is.

The people in the yard also said, "Yes, I know him, I know him, and he sent two eggs and a handful of candies to my house today."

"Yes, I also sent it to my house."

"Young man, you look very energetic. I wonder if you have a partner."

"Yes, if the young man doesn't have a partner, we have to help introduce one to him."

Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was praising Li Tianyou, Yi Zhonghai became anxious and wanted to say something, but Liu Haizhong beat him to it.

Liu Haizhong stood up and said, "But I heard that the new tenant today beat Jia Zhang as soon as he entered the yard. Jia Zhang, tell me what's going on."

Jia Zhang also stood up and looked at Li Tianyou fiercely and said: "I just asked him a question today, and he slapped me in the face and kicked me. Big guy, you have to help me."

The Sun family members in the front yard said, "Jia Zhang, there are so many people in the yard, why did they not hit you?"

Someone echoed: "Yes, why don't they beat up so many people, but only you, Jia Zhang?"

"Yeah, why did I hit you alone?"

Look, this is the benefit of eggs and toffee.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said: "Everyone, be quiet. No matter what the situation is, you can't hit the elderly. Is there anything that can't be talked about nicely?" As he said this, he looked at Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou smiled at Yi Zhonghai who was coming over, and then said in front of the crowd: "Hello everyone, my name is Li Tianyou, I am a new resident assigned to our courtyard, and also an employee of our third steel rolling mill. I heard from the third uncle that many people in our courtyard work in the steel rolling mill, so we will all be colleagues in the future."

Seeing Li Tianyou introducing himself, Liu Haizhong said sternly: "I didn't ask you to introduce yourself. Explain your problem, otherwise we won't keep people like you who beat up the elderly in our hospital."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly and said, "Tell me first why you beat the old man today."

Li Tianyou looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "What a powerful official! You're still explaining the problem? Why did you set up a private torture chamber in the courtyard?"

Liu Haizhong got furious when he heard this and quickly said, "Who did you say set up a private torture chamber? We want you to explain why you beat the old man today."

Yi Zhonghai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Setting up a private execution hall was not an empty talk. If it was confirmed, he would not have to find someone to support him in his old age, as the country would support him.

Yan Bugui smiled but said nothing.

Li Tianyou looked at Jia Zhang and said: "This old woman insults martyrs, curses combat heroes, and openly defies our party's arrangements. Can't we fight her?

Does that mean we should let the enemy spy go just because she's old?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "What do you mean by insulting the martyrs? Explain clearly."

At this time Yi Zhonghai felt something was wrong, as if Jia Zhang was hiding something from him.

Li Tianyou said: "I live here because the street office arranged it. She, Jia Zhang, disobeyed the arrangement. Does that count as openly defying the organization's arrangement? This is one.

My parents are both martyrs who died in the war against the enemy. Jia Zhang called me a damned little beast. Does that count as an insult to the descendants of martyrs? This is second.

I was injured in a fight with the enemy and was retired. I was assigned to work at the Third Steel Rolling Mill by the army. Today, when I arrived here, this Jia Zhang started to curse me and even summoned my soul to take me away. Does this count as a curse on me? This is the third...

This Jia Zhang openly summoned spirits and promoted feudal superstition in public. Does this count as opposing our party? This is the fourth question.

Excuse me, is it wrong for me to beat Jia Zhang? Or is it that the laws of your court are made by you uncles and can override the laws of our country? "

Oh my god, this big hat, Yi Zhonghai almost vomited blood. After Li Tianyou said this, it was no longer a joke, it was treason.

Li Tianyou looked at Yi Zhonghai again and said, "I've finished talking. Please start your sophistry on how you plan to protect this enemy spy."

Liu Haizhong spit out a mouthful of water and said: "What enemy spy? Comrade, we have never sheltered an enemy spy."

Liu Haizhong hates Yi Zhonghai to death now. He says that the new guy has mastered the matter and can make people respect us uncles more. Now he is going to be sent to eat peanuts.

Yi Zhonghai said awkwardly: "Comrade Xiao Li, let's talk it over."

When Li Tianyou heard Yi Zhonghai calling him Xiao Li, he frowned and said, "My name is Li Tianyou. You can call me Tianyou, but don't call me Xiao Li. The Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years, and you still call people Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang."

Jia Zhang glared at her triangular eyes and said, "You little bastard, who do you say is the enemy spy? I'm telling you, if you don't compensate me 5 yuan today... No, if you don't compensate me 50 yuan, forget it. You have to make the decision for me, uncle."

Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou quickly ran to Jia Zhang's side, and with a backhand blow, he directly slapped Jia Zhang away. Li Tianyou was also stunned, wondering how he could have knocked Jia Zhang away.

Li Tianyou forgot that he had just been transformed by the system today. Although he had reduced some of his strength, it was still something that Jia Zhang could not bear.

Because everything happened so fast, in the blink of an eye, people only felt a flash before their eyes, and then Jia Zhang flew out.
