Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

After Qin Jingru finished her noodles and tasted the egg custard, she felt relaxed and refreshed.

She usually lives a simple life and it is rare for her to enjoy such delicious food. At this moment, her impression of Chen Fei has changed greatly.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Fade Chen was quite satisfied.

In this world of human relationships, a delicious meal can often bring people closer together.

Looking at Qin Jingru's satisfied expression, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he continued to chat with her without leaving any trace.

The two chatted about everything under the sun. Chen Fei was sometimes humorous and sometimes deep and reserved, which made Qin Jingru look at him with admiration.

She thought to herself that this Chen Fei was indeed different from what was rumored. She had previously thought that he was a waste, but in fact, he was an extraordinary person.

During the conversation, Fade Chen mentioned the matter of Jia Zhang again.

He pretended to be casual and asked, "Ms. Jia Zhang seems to be quite enthusiastic about me recently. I wonder why?"

Qin Jingru was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she smiled and said, "Hey, she just likes being lively and is friendly to everyone she sees. Besides, you are a nice person, so she naturally likes you."

Chen Fei knew that she was just being perfunctory, but he didn't expose her. He just smiled and said no more.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the yard.

Following the sound, I saw Jia Zhang leading a group of neighbors walking in.

As soon as she saw Chen Fei, she greeted him warmly: "Xiao Fei, you are at home! Come quickly, I brought you some good things."

As she spoke, she took out a bag of snacks and handed it to Fade Chen.

Chen Fei sneered in his heart. This Jia Zhang must have heard about his family's wealth and wanted to use it to win him over.

After taking the snack, Fade Chen said calmly, "Thank you, Aunt Jia. It's really troublesome."

When Jia Zhang saw that he accepted the snacks, she was overjoyed and quickly pulled him to sit down and started asking him about his well-being.

Chen Fei knew that she had a big plan, but he didn't point it out and just responded perfunctorily.

Qin Jingru, who was standing by, was secretly surprised when she saw this.

She originally thought that Chen Fei was just a kid from an ordinary family, but she never expected that he would attract so much attention from Jia Zhang.

I couldn't help but become more curious about Chen Fei.

Looking at Jia Zhang's smiling face, Chen Fei couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The hypocrisy of this old lady is just to use his name to gain some benefits for her family.

Just at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door and Qin Huairu walked in.

She held two movie tickets in her hands, which were obviously specially prepared for Qin Jingru.

When she saw the movie tickets, a hint of surprise flashed in Qin Jingru's eyes.

It is rare to have such entertainment on weekdays, and at this moment her heart is full of gratitude towards Qin Huairu.

When Jia Zhang saw this, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

He thought to himself, if he could bring Chen Fei and Qin Huairu together but not get them married, wouldn't his family benefit more?

So, she pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "Oh, you are such a kind person. Jingru, you must thank him."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru quickly nodded in agreement, but she knew clearly what Jia Zhang's intention was.

Chen Fei watched coldly from the side, but he already had a plan in mind.

If you want to gain a foothold in this courtyard, your own strength alone is not enough, you also need the help of others.

So, he stood up, smiled at Qin Huairu, and said, "Sister Qin, thank you for your kindness. However, I have some things to deal with today, so I'm afraid I can't accompany Jingru to the movies."

Qin Huairu was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She thought Chen Fei would gladly accept it, but she didn't expect him to refuse so directly.

Qin Jingru was also surprised. Looking at Chen Fei, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

Jia Zhang was so angry that her face turned blue. She didn't expect Chen Fei to be so disrespectful to her. She couldn't help but feel more resentful towards him.

However, Fade Chen didn't care at all.

He turned and walked out the door, with a new plan in mind.

If you want to gain a foothold in this courtyard, you have to rely on your own strength.

Just as he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly heard a scream.

It turned out that Qin Jingru accidentally fell to the ground, and the movie ticket in her hand fell to the ground.

When Chen Fei heard the sound, he turned around and saw Qin Jingru falling to the ground, with the two movie tickets scattered like fallen leaves.

Although he felt something in his heart, he did not immediately go forward to help.

There was a hint of disappointment in Qin Jingru's eyes. She thought Chen Fei would rush towards her regardless of everything, but she didn't expect him to be so indifferent.

She struggled to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in her ankle.

At this time, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were also stunned. They didn't expect Chen Fei to be so decisive.

Qin Huairu felt mixed emotions and didn't understand why Chen Fei rejected her kindness.

Just as everyone was stunned, Fade Chen slowly walked towards Qin Jingru.

He squatted down, gently helped her up, and asked with concern: "Jingru, are you okay?"

Qin Jingru looked at him, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She shook her head and whispered, "It's okay, I just sprained my foot."

Hearing this, Fade Chen gently rubbed her ankle, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

This scene saw Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, and made them feel inexplicably jealous.

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the alley.

Chen Fei looked up and saw Xu Damao walking towards him angrily with a package in his arms.

The two men's eyes met, and a hint of hostility flashed in Xu Damao's eyes.

Xu Damao is another major force in the courtyard, and he has always been at odds with him.

He smiled slightly and nodded to Xu Damao as a greeting.

Xu Damao ignored him and walked straight towards Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu.

The package in his arms accidentally slipped off, revealing a roll of film.

Chen Fei had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the film was extraordinary.

I thought to myself that this might be an opportunity.

So he deliberately said loudly: "Hey, isn't this the film from the cinema? Xu Damao, where did you get this from?"

Xu Damao's face changed when he heard this.

He quickly hid the film back into the package and looked at Fade Chen warily.

After a moment's thought, Chen Fei knew that what Xu Damao was carrying was of great value. If he could use it skillfully, it might become a powerful weapon for him to gain a foothold in the Siheyuan.

In this complex little world, fighting alone is not a long-term solution. You must find allies to fight against those with ulterior motives.

Banggeng is the urchin in the courtyard. Although he is mischievous, he has a simple mind and is easy to win over.

Chen Fei decided to start with Bang Geng and use him to deal with Xu Damao.

As night deepens, the lights in the courtyard dim.

Chen Fei quietly found Banggeng and whispered to him, "Banggeng, do you want to watch the latest movie?"

Bang Geng heard this and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, but then it dimmed again and he shook his head and said, "It's useless to watch it. I don't have money to buy a ticket."

With a slight smile, Fade Chen took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, waved them in front of Bang Geng's eyes, and said, "Money is not a problem, as long as you help me do something."

Bang Geng looked at the money, greed showed in his eyes, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

Chen Fei whispered in his ear and told him his plan.

After hearing this, Banggeng's eyes flashed with cunning, and he patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Xu Damao was in a hurry to relieve himself, so he left the courtyard in a hurry and found a secluded place to relieve himself.

He was anxious and didn't care about the film in the package, so he put it aside.

Bang Geng was secretly delighted when he saw this. He quietly approached the package, quickly took out the film and hid it in his arms.

After Xu Damao finished his urgent task, he hurried back to the courtyard, only to find that the film he regarded as a treasure was missing. He was horrified and searched everywhere, but found nothing.
