Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Yu Li nodded, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but more of it was trust in Chen Fei.

She decided to stay, not only for safety, but also because she found that her feelings for Chen Fei seemed to be growing quietly.

As the night deepens, the moonlight is like water, filling the courtyard.

Chen Fei and Yu Li started a unique cycling teaching session.

Chen Fei instructed patiently while Yu Li studied seriously. Their figures stretched out in the moonlight, interweaving a warm and slightly ambiguous picture.

After repeated attempts and failures, Yu Li was finally able to ride a few meters shakily. The two smiled at each other, and their joy and sense of accomplishment echoed in the night sky.

However, happy times are always short-lived.

When the two men fell asleep one after another due to exhaustion and the whole courtyard fell into silence, Sha Zhu next door tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He vaguely heard a slight sound coming from Chen Fei's house, and an inexplicable anger surged in his heart, but he did not dare to act rashly because he was afraid of Chen Fei's majesty.

Sha Zhu was lying on the bed, with the figure of Jia Zhang constantly appearing in his mind.

The woman who once gave him warmth and comfort in his dreams is still haunting him.

He missed the feeling of being cared for and needed, and even began to doubt whether he really wanted to dream about her again.

But whenever the night is quiet, this desire will be shattered by the cold reality.

At the same time, the lights in Chen Fei's house went out quietly, as if foreshadowing that everything had returned to calm.

However, beneath this calmness, there are hidden unknown secrets and an impending storm.

The relationship between Chen Fei and Yu Li quietly became closer overnight.

As the night deepened, everything in the courtyard was shrouded in a veil of mystery.

And under this veil, everyone's fate is quietly changing, slowly moving towards an unknown direction...

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the occasional whispers from the house seemed particularly clear in the silent night sky, attracting the attention of people in the middle courtyard and making them speculate in their hearts.

Qin Huairu stood in front of her house, holding a wet cloth tightly in her hand, looking in Chen Fei's direction with complicated eyes.

She should have been the happiest woman in this courtyard, but because of a momentary thought, she missed the opportunity to spend the rest of her life with Chen Fei.

Now, seeing Chen Fei's increasingly prosperous life, besides regret, she felt more of an indescribable jealousy and unwillingness.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the sound coming from Chen Fei's room was like a sharp blade, cutting through her already fragile psychological defenses time and time again.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but weave a series of pictures in her mind: Chen Fei was chatting and laughing with a beautiful woman, enjoying the life she had always dreamed of.

This jealousy grew like a weed and eventually turned into a twisted plan.

She secretly tampered with Chen Fei's dried bacon, attempting to use an ancient medicinal powder to stimulate Chen Fei's wildness and make him fall into an uncontrollable state, so as to achieve her ulterior motive.

Just as Qin Huairu was immersed in her own conspiracy, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night.

Yu Li, a neighbor who usually has a good relationship with Chen Fei, came to visit unexpectedly.

Her appearance undoubtedly added some variables to Qin Huairu's plan.

Qin Huairu hid in the dark and witnessed the warm scene of the two people chatting happily and having dinner together. The fire of jealousy in her heart burned even more fiercely.

Banggeng, Qin Huairu's son, although young, also noticed something strange at home.

He heard some noises coming from Qin Huairu's room and curiously asked his mother about Yu Li's visit.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened. Faced with her son's questions, she could only be vague and use various excuses to evade them. In the end, she even rudely urged him to go back to his room and sleep, for fear that her secret would be accidentally revealed by the child.

As the night deepens, everything in the courtyard seems to have returned to calm, but everyone's heart is filled with unknown waves.

Banggeng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, his small eyes flashing with a cunning light that was not in line with his age.

He secretly glanced out the window, wondering in his heart: "It's so late, why is there no movement from Sister Yu Li? Could it be..."

Thinking of this, an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart, making it even more difficult for him to fall asleep.

At the same time, Qin Huairu's room was also brightly lit. She frowned and folded her hands on her chest.

Ever since the sudden incident at Chen Fei's house last night, her heart has never been at peace.

It was not until the lights in Chen Fei's house in the distance went out one by one and the tranquility of the past was restored that she slowly closed her eyes and fell into sleep with a trace of fatigue and uneasiness.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the mist and shone into the courtyard.

Chen Fei and Yu Li woke up from their dreams almost at the same time. They smiled at each other, packed their luggage tacitly, and prepared to go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to start a new day.

On the way, Fade Chen noticed that Sha Zhu had two obvious dark circles under his eyes and looked listless. He secretly laughed in his heart, but he also guessed some of the reasons. After all, there was quite a commotion last night.

"Hey, Shazhu, were you a thief last night?" Fade Chen deliberately joked with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

Sha Zhu glared at him and replied unhappily: "Stop talking nonsense and mind your own business." After that, he quickened his pace, as if he didn't want to talk any more.

Not long after, Chen Fei met Qin Huairu again at the factory gate. She also had dark circles under her eyes, but her eyes were more determined.

Although Chen Fei had some doubts in his heart, he did not pay much attention to it. After all, everyone has their own secrets and unspeakable things.

On the other side, in the Yan family courtyard, Yan Jiecheng and the third aunt were carefully helping the third uncle back from the hospital.

This hospitalization not only exhausted the family savings, but also left them with a considerable foreign debt.

The third uncle's face was pale, and his eyes were full of worry about the future.

And Yan Bugui, the uncle who was usually very careful with his money, was flipping through the account books at this moment, thinking in his mind how to make up for this loss.

"It's all because of Chen Fei. Ever since he came, there has been no peace in our family!" Yan Bugui suddenly stopped writing and said with gritted teeth.

In his heart, he had secretly regarded Chen Fei as the source of his recent misfortunes and decided to teach him a lesson.

So Yan Bugui picked up his pen and wrote down two notes.

In the first one, he lied in the name of the Yan family that there was a batch of free pork in the cellar and invited all members of the Jia family to go and collect it. In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate them. After all, the Jia family’s reputation among the neighbors has not been good in recent years.

The second one was a picture in which he imitated Qin Huairu's handwriting and invited Chen Fei to the cellar in her name, intending to give Chen Fei a "surprise" there.

As the note was quietly sent out, the tranquility in the courtyard was broken again, and an undercurrent surrounding Chen Fei was quietly surging.

But Chen Fei knew nothing about this. He was fully immersed in his work and had no idea that he was about to fall into a carefully designed trap.
