Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The sound insulation of the rooms in the courtyard house is not very good, and the same is true for Xu Damao's house.

Chen Xu could also hear the loving father and filial son voices coming from outside at home, and he was not surprised that Liu Haizhong liked to beat his son.

Whether it was in his memory or what he saw with his own eyes, it was almost the same.

The second uncle is the only one in the courtyard who treats his son as an enemy. Chen Xu maliciously speculates that this might be the reason why Yi Zhonghai is unhappy with Liu Haizhong.

You are the one who smokes the thing that others want but cannot get, for no reason. No one would feel happy about it.

Yi Zhonghai, who just came back from the neighborhood office, now stays indoors. Without his position as the eldest master, he is like a cat without claws in the courtyard. If he goes out, he will be laughed at by others. So he simply goes between the courtyard and the steel mill.

The last ideological education had just ended, and Yi Zhonghai not only lost his position, but also had to go to the street office to receive ideological education again. This is really unique.

But there are people who are even more unfortunate.

After Jia Zhang was paraded through the streets, in addition to receiving ideological education, she also had to sweep the streets.

As for Jia Zhang, she dared not disobey the words of the street office. It was almost dark, and she was still sweeping the streets of Sijiu City with a broom. From time to time, she could hear the angry scolding of the comrades from the street office.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, can you hurry up? Others have finished sweeping the streets long ago, but you are still dragging your feet. You think sweeping the streets is too easy, right? I will ask the director to let you shovel manure tomorrow..."

Obviously, the comrades from the street office who were delayed from getting off work were very unhappy with Jia Zhang's nagging.

"No...I was wrong. It will be over soon."

Jia Zhang was panicked. She had indeed been dawdling, but she had not expected that the end result might be that she would have to dig out manure herself. Compared to digging out manure, sweeping the streets was considered an easy job, so she dared not dawdle any longer.

Looking at Jia Zhang who was sweeping very quickly, the comrade from the subdistrict office snorted with disdain.

I knew that this old hag was not honest. She could do her job well but she was deliberately being lazy. I will give her suggestions to the director tomorrow. This kind of cunning and slippery person obviously does not realize her mistakes, so we need to be more strict with her.

Jia Zhang obviously didn't know that her hard work would only confirm the fact that she was slacking off while sweeping the streets today. At this moment, she was just thinking about not having to dig out manure, but she didn't expect that the harder she worked, the closer she would be to digging out manure.

If we were to ask who Jia Zhang hates the most now, it would undoubtedly be Chen Xu.

Having suffered such a great loss at the hands of the poor boy whom she had looked down upon before, Jia Zhang hated Chen Xu to the core.

Thinking about it, Jia Zhang was also a bully in the courtyard. She was usually domineering and could talk even if she was unreasonable. But she started to lose face when she met Chen Xu.

This guy is different from the other people in the courtyard. He will not tolerate her unreasonableness, nor will he quarrel with her. He will either use a knife or report to the street office, resulting in her skills being useless.

Can this be tolerated?

But Jia Zhang can.

This old hag is a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak. The more powerful Chen Xu becomes, the less she dares to act recklessly, for fear that he will really chop her to pieces one day.

In her heart, herself and money come first; as for her son and grandson, they have to come second.

Thinking of the scene where Chen Xu almost chopped off Yi Zhonghai's hand, Jia Zhang was still frightened. If she had suspected that Chen Xu was bluffing before, now it was confirmed that Chen Xu really dared to do it, and did it without hesitation.

Even Sha Zhu, a stubborn person, would not provoke such a ruthless person, let alone Jia Zhang.

Chen Xu did not go to the black market at night. He planned to stay in Sijiu City for a few days waiting for news from the old man, but among other things, the only thing that could be compared with physical strength was spatial expansion.

It is better to exercise well in the space and go to bed early after finishing exercise than to stay up late in the black market. After all, the body is the capital of revolution.

His current capital is not enough to deal with Lin Chan, so naturally he is particularly concerned about it.

The fish in the pond watched this strange biped doing all kinds of weird movements while sweating profusely.

Either stand in a horse stance, do deep squats or dives, and persevere with gritted teeth.

The fish without toes to chew on soon dispersed and began to circle around some newly grown lotus roots in the pond, but they could not get close.

Chen Xu was afraid that these fish would eat his precious lotus roots, so he specifically asked the space to help watch over them, in case he came in one day and found that his hope was gone. He would probably want to stew these little guys.

The plants by the pond are also growing well. Chen Xu is very satisfied. Now it depends on whether these guys can mature.

After a month, the space has obviously become much larger.

The expansion in the first month was only about six or seven square meters, and the space has increased from the original more than ten square meters to about twenty square meters now.

Although it is slow, Chen Xu is very satisfied. As the snowball gets bigger and bigger, by next year, it is estimated that there will be no problem to occupy several hundred square meters.

Once you have a few acres of space of your own, you can arrange some things.

Chen Xu looked at the seeds placed in the corner. These were all bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

By then, the pond will ensure the expansion of the space, and the crops will ensure their own food. If the space grows further, breeding can also be arranged. Then they will naturally have no worries about food and drink, and even selling the excess materials to the factory can make them rich, and it can also stimulate further expansion of the space.

The possibility of my own space growing into a small world has begun to emerge.

Looking at the black stone in his hand, Chen Xu was filled with thoughts. This black stone was the foundation of his existence.

"Brother, you didn't show your magic in your previous life, so you have to help me in this life."

Chen Xu talked to himself in front of the black stone. It was obvious that the black stone was just a dead object except for reminding him of some information. It had no intention of paying any attention to him at all. Chen Xu had gotten used to it.

Putting the black stone back into his mind, Chen Xu had no intention of telling anyone about the black stone. This was his last secret.

The black stone is the key to this space. To put it bluntly, if Chen Xu lost the black stone, he would not be able to enter the space.

He would never reveal this secret until his death.

Compared to the peace and tranquility of Chen Xu, Lin Chan from Linjia Village is much more depressed.

After learning that her daughter was taken advantage of by Chen Xu, Lin's mother asked about her marriage intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Chan's argument that Chen Xu was not old enough and had to wait for two years obviously could not convince me.

In the eyes of Lin's mother.

Whether or not to get a marriage certificate does not affect marriage. Many people in rural areas who have been married for a lifetime have never gotten a marriage certificate.

Lin Chan naturally would not tell the real reason. If she left now, her mother would be left alone. Although there were people in the village to help, everyone's abilities were limited and they could not help much.

Lin's mother thought exactly the opposite.

She could only feel relieved when Lin Chan married Chen Xu, even though Chen Xu was from Chenjia Village, not far from Linjia Village.

But now they have gone to the old city, and I heard from Lin Chan that they all have formal jobs, so they probably don’t need their hometown in Chenjia Village anymore.

If this guy takes advantage of Lin Chan and then doesn't marry her, I'll cry to death.

Lin Chan refused to listen and ran to the mountains because she was annoyed. Lin's mother felt helpless when she saw her daughter having her own ideas.

She understood her daughter's thoughts, but still hoped that Chen Xu and her daughter could settle down.

Even if Chen Xu couldn't feed his daughter enough, it was better than running to the mountains all the time.

Being strong does not mean being invincible. It is not easy to enter the deep mountains. Even a top warrior like Lin Chan will die if bitten by a snake, ant or poisonous insect if it is fatal.

Although Lin Chan always said that he was just wandering around the outskirts, Lin's mother didn't know that Lin Chan had gone to the mountains.

After all, the periphery has been searched many times, and now only some wild vegetables can be found, but there is no prey.

But Lin Chan was very determined, and as a mother she had no way of interfering. She could only pray that Chen Xu was not the kind of guy who would disown people once he put on his pants.
