Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Although Qin Huairu was good-looking, no man approached her to talk to her.

After all, times have changed. If I were sued and convicted of hooliganism, I would probably cry my heart out.

The crime of hooliganism is a complete product of the times, with a very low lower limit and a very high upper limit.

Anything from verbal education to being taken directly to target shooting is possible. This invisibly protects the rights and interests of women, but there are also many unlucky people who are accidentally injured, and few people dare to try their luck.

Even those hooligans or hooligans who hang out on the streets usually don't set their sights on women. Of course, this is an exception when they are looking for money or in sparsely populated areas.

This is the old city, not some remote place, and the rules are still followed even in broad daylight.

Chen Xu followed the crowd for a few rounds and then left. That was it for the Pigeon Market. Forget about getting any good stuff here. If you have money, you might as well go to a trust store. Not only do you not need a ticket, but the quality of the stuff there is also guaranteed.

In the following years, the bicycle of the third uncle Yan Bugui should have been bought from the trust store.

Chen Xu had no intention of buying big items. Bicycles, radios, sewing machines and other things were dispensable to him. Even if he wanted to buy some, it would be for his future with Lin Chan.

What the hell is this? I suddenly want to go back to the countryside.

Chen Xu felt a little annoyed, as if he was trapped.

After one night's experience, Chen Xu obviously had some experience of knowing the essence of the taste, and felt that he had missed her so much that it felt like a long time since they last met.

Siheyuan.

backyard.

The deaf old lady rarely sat at the door, but went to Yi Zhonghai's house. An aunt saw the old lady coming and hurried over to support her.

"Old lady, why are you here?"

"It's okay to take a few steps."

The deaf old lady was obviously not here to visit. She sat there staring at the old lady, which made the old lady feel uneasy.

"Xiu Lan, what are you having for lunch today?"

The aunt felt sad and understood why the old lady came.

Speaking of this deaf old lady, she actually has a big problem, that is, she is greedy. From time to time, she wants to get something to satisfy her internal organs. The aunt has taken care of the deaf old lady for so many years, and it is obvious that she knows all these problems well.

Yi Zhonghai's family conditions were not bad, but their life was not very good. Although they could eat enough, it was far from eating well.

Occasionally I would bring back some food to satisfy my hunger, but that was all in the past.

Now that the Yi family has no savings and Yi Zhonghai is busy making a comeback, naturally they don't have any good things. The deaf old lady is greedy now, which is really making things difficult for her.

"Old lady, you know the current situation of my family. Old Yi didn't bring anything back. What do you think?"

The deaf old lady sighed. She was unlucky as the Yi family suffered. Over the years, the aunt used to send her some things from time to time, but now it was probably difficult.

"It's a pity that my great grandson is not here, otherwise with his cooking skills, it would be enough for an old woman like me to enjoy."

The deaf old lady sighed and groaned, and the middle-aged woman followed suit, but she did not agree in her heart.

When Shazhu was around, I didn’t see him cook more meals for you, but he was the one taking care of you all the time.

The aunt still remembers that once Sha Zhu made a mistake, her husband punished him by making him cook for a deaf old lady for a month, which was considered a way for Sha Zhu to save face.

After all, he is a formal godparent, so it is not difficult for him to cook for the old lady.

As a result, Shazhu’s first reaction was to refuse to do it.

"Why?"

These are the words that came out of Shazhu's mouth.

It can be seen that in Sha Zhu's heart, the status of the deaf old lady is just that.

Unfortunately, the deaf old lady treats Sha Zhu like a crazy person. This is human nature. As long as you like him, everything is fine. She can't see any shortcomings of Sha Zhu at all. No one else can compare to her.

Seeing that she really couldn't get anything good from Aunt Yi, the deaf old lady had no desire to stay. The Yi family was not controlled by Aunt Yi, and she had no choice unless Yi Zhonghai brought anything back.

The deaf old lady who had just gone out met Chen Xu who was coming back carrying a large cabbage.

"Old lady, are you taking a walk?"

After all, the man was older, so Chen Xu still greeted him.

"It's Xiao Chen. You are still growing at your age. You should eat something good, otherwise you won't grow strong. Just look at the pillars and you will know that being able to eat is a blessing..."

Chen Xu complained in his heart that he was indeed very lucky as he was eating free meals. Most people didn't have such treatment.

But he certainly couldn't say that. He didn't know that the deaf old lady was thinking that if Chen Xu ate something good, she would also come to her house to eat a meal. He just thought that the old lady missed her grandson very much.

"You're joking, old lady. There's no good food these days. It's good enough to have a bite during the New Year."

Chen Xu didn't chat too much with the deaf old man. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a bit unreasonable not to bring some vegetables back on weekdays, he wouldn't even bother to bring some cabbage back for show. Even if he wanted to eat something good, he wouldn't eat it in front of the people in the yard.

Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy your stomach in your own space?

Looking at Chen Xu's departing back, the deaf old lady sighed. What Chen Xu said was true.

Nowadays, who can afford to eat meat? Wouldn’t it be nice to buy some grain with that money?

The deaf old lady was feeling greedy at this moment. She knew it was impossible for her to get any advantage in the courtyard, so she could only walk out of the courtyard with her crutches, intending to buy something to satisfy her craving.

Obviously, this old woman is rich.

In Chen Xu's memory, the deaf old lady would sell her unused food coupons at a high price.

But he knew very well the characters of the people in Siheyuan. This old woman just wanted to eat something good but didn't want to spend her own money. Since Siheyuan was called "a courtyard full of birds" by netizens, there were naturally not many good people in it.

Lou Xiao'e is one of them, but because of Chen Xu's arrival, Xu Damao's illness was made public, and silly Ezi probably won't have the chance to come to the Siheyuan anymore.

Then there is really no good person in the courtyard house now.

Is Chen Xu considered a good person?

If he asks himself honestly, it doesn't seem to be the case. He has not forgotten those people who chased him for debts in his previous life.

After returning home, Chen Xu wondered whether he should buy some furniture or something. This empty house looked somewhat shabby. But when he thought that it would probably take another year or two for Lin Chan to move in, Chen Xu gave up.

Sometimes it is better to consider how to expand the space.

He thought of a lot of ways to do this and threw all kinds of living things into it, but the results were disappointing.

Insects are not as effective as animals, with the effect being only about one percent. Animals are the same regardless of size. The ratio of the effects of plants and animals is about ten to one. This is the conclusion he came to through his own trials, and it gives Chen Xu a headache.

What's small and easy to keep alive?

Chen Xu racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good result. Moreover, now is different from the future, many things are not so easy to get.

Chen Xu, who was enjoying the little fish nibbling on his toes, suddenly discovered that the lotus seeds under the pond had actually begun to sprout and had grown a long green rhizome. This surprised him a little, but he was a little puzzled, as it seemed that this thing was growing a little too fast.

As if he remembered correctly, it takes about sixty days for a lotus seed to grow into a flower, but now it is obviously a bit fast, and it has grown to its current shape in just a few days.

Could it be that the space also has a bonus for plant growth? Chen Xu had some vague ideas, but Black Stone ignored him, so he could only slowly figure out some rules by himself.
