Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

He naturally felt Director Chen's kindness, but unfortunately Chen Xuzhi was not here.

He is very clear about his position and understands some of the ways of the world, but not much. He learned this awareness passively from the beatings of society in his previous life.

Although people in the 21st century have broadened their horizons, ordinary people are still not aware of the twists and turns of officialdom. It is much more difficult to fight their way out than in other fields.

He didn't have much thought about climbing up the ladder. The steel mill was nothing more than a relatively safe haven for him, allowing him to get through this special and not-so-peaceful period.

With his background and abilities, the position of Director Chen is probably his limit. If that's the case, he might as well just be a wealthy man and live a comfortable life.

Chen Xu doesn't have only this path to take, so naturally he won't take it too seriously and basically adheres to the principle of just getting by.

But only you can understand this kind of thing. You still have to act more motivated in front of your leader. If you are too selfless, your leader will think you are a hopeless case.

Chen Xu went straight to the security department as soon as he went out. Section Chief Liu was not there, so Chen Xu successfully received his box gun. The moment he hung it on his waist, he felt a lot safer.

It is absolutely true that guns are a man's romance. Carrying a gun feels different and makes you stand more confident.

Although he also had a gun in his space, he couldn't take it out openly after all.

Xu Damao was extremely envious. Chen Xu was truly free now. Even he, a projectionist, was not so free.

But he also admired Chen Xu's ability. After all, buyers have tasks to do, and whether one can act like a boss depends entirely on one's ability.

In his opinion, Chen Xu was born to be a purchasing agent. After all, his hometown was backed by a mountain. There is a saying that goes "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain", and Chen Xu obviously proved this old saying.

After leaving the steel rolling mill, Chen Xu did not go to the countryside immediately, but went to the carpenter. The master carpenter spent more time on his custom-made furniture than the Liu family. The master carpenter spent a lot of time polishing the wood, and he also carefully carved the furniture after it was finished.

Although Chen Xu said that it didn't need to be portrayed so gorgeously and should be simple, the old master still made some ingenious modifications to some of the edges and corners.

Chen Xu was very satisfied after seeing the finished product. This was completely different from the Liu family's furniture. It was simple and low-key yet elegant. A little bit of unique decoration distinguished the original furniture from the common goods.

The master's craftsmanship was impeccable, and Chen Xu readily paid the rest of the money. The master asked some old acquaintances to help deliver the goods to his home, which was considered a one-stop service.

The courtyard is now rather deserted, as most of the men have gone to work or out to find work. Chen Xu and a few delivery men went back and forth several times before they finally moved the furniture back home.

The deaf old lady stood by and looked at the furniture carefully.

"Xiao Chen, this is the work of Master Lei, right?"

Before Chen Xu could say anything, a delivery man next to him said with a smile.

"You are right. There are not many people in Sijiu City who can compare with Lao Lei in terms of craftsmanship."

The deaf old lady nodded slightly. She couldn't recognize it because her previous furniture was also made by Master Lei, but that was many years ago. When she saw Chen Xu's furniture, she always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

When I asked, I found out that it was true.

The second aunt who was watching the fun nearby had a proud look on her face. In her opinion, Chen Xu's furniture and the one their family had made some time ago were made by the same craftsman, and hers were obviously better looking.

It was covered with carvings, so festive. Chen Xu's furniture seemed to have an indescribable feeling, but it was obviously not as gorgeous as their Liu family's.

"Xiao Chen, it seems that you spent less money on hiring a master than I did. Look at my furniture, it's all carved with dragons and phoenixes..."

The second aunt was talking boastfully, and Chen Xu passed by carrying a table, saying that the second aunt had a keen eye and everything she said was right.

Some people nearby also had this feeling. Chen Xu's furniture did not look as good as Liu's. So many blank spaces were simply treated. Although it looked very grand, it did not feel luxurious enough.

The second aunt didn't notice the looks from the delivery guys and the deaf old lady next to her, they just looked at her as if she was an idiot.

Liu Guangqi's furniture was also given by these people, and the deaf old lady had also seen the Liu family's furniture, so she naturally knew what was going on.

"Girl, if you have nothing to say, keep your mouth shut, or you'll embarrass yourself outside the courtyard."

The deaf old lady was too lazy to watch the fun. She said something lightly and turned back to her home, leaving the second aunt and others looking at each other in bewilderment. What did the old lady mean by this?

Chen Xu was disdainful in his heart. What kind of carvings are there to attract dragons and phoenixes? Do you think you are a royal? It would be good enough if Master Lei could carve a cricket or a butterfly for you. As for that kind of gorgeous furniture style, that is not his, Chen Xu's cup of tea.

After arranging the furniture one by one, Chen Xu was quite satisfied. The rest of the houses were in good condition and he had no intention of renovating them. Now with these newly made furniture, the rooms looked a bit old and yet had a festive feel of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.

That's good.

Everyone in the courtyard knew that Chen Xu was preparing for marriage, but they didn't think anything of it.

After all, Chen Xu's home was so shabby, and the house was empty. It was ok for a grown man to live there normally, but after getting married and having a wife, it wouldn't be too unusual to get some furniture.

Lock the door and ride your bike straight to the countryside.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw Yi Zhonghai and his wife coming back carrying large and small bags.

"Xiao Chen is going to the countryside."

Yi Zhonghai greeted with a smile, while Aunt Yi next to him looked a little pale.

"Yeah, are you going to get some medicine?"

Yi Zhonghai's smiling face became a little stiff. Chen Xu obviously mentioned his sad story, not to mention the medicines in their hands, which were somewhat difficult to talk about.

"Yes, your Aunt Yi has never stopped over the years..."

The two had a meaningless exchange and then went their separate ways.

Chen Xu felt that there were really a lot of warriors in the courtyard, and he now knew what was in those prescriptions.

With Xu Damao, a brave man who dares to try, and Yi Zhonghai, a ruthless man who keeps fighting, Chen Xu feels that there are so many talented people in this courtyard...

This guy completely forgot that he is also a warrior in the eyes of others.

After all, anyone who dares to attack a tigress is a true warrior. People in the surrounding area around his hometown admire Chen Xu's bravery.

Not to mention that if there is any conflict after marriage, she may die suddenly on the spot. Just the appetite is not something that ordinary people dare to marry. What's more, it is a disaster year now. It is easy for an ordinary family to starve to death if they raise a forest cicada.

Therefore, it makes sense that Chen Xu can live in a courtyard house.

People gather in kind, and things are divided into groups.

It takes an ordinary person to integrate into this famous Love Courtyard. This is God's will.
