Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

After hearing this, Yan Bugui seemed to be thinking about something, his expression was a little excited, but after a while he became disappointed again.

Hesitantly, he said, "Xiao Lu, this shouldn't be decided internally, right? If I were to run for election, would I have a chance?"

Lu Zhenyuan glanced at him and thought that he was quite quick-witted.

"There is a chance. After all, our courtyard is a large one. It is impossible to choose only one manager. I estimate that we have to choose three. You only need to compete for one."

"I'm telling you this in advance. As long as you are willing to spend some time and effort in advance, and show some favors so that the people in the front yard don't fight with you, then the position of the manager of the front yard will naturally be yours."

Yan Bugui nodded when he heard this, and his interest was piqued again.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenyuan said no more. Even if he didn't mention it, the manager of the front yard was originally Yan Bugui's. Mentioning it was just like recruiting a helper in advance.

After all, with the emergence of the system of stewards, if he does something that does not please the stewards, he will easily be targeted. Although he is not afraid if several stewards form a group, he will definitely be annoyed.

So he needs to win over one and alienate the other two.

Logically speaking, the status of the stewards is equal, but in the courtyard they are divided into first, second and third ranks, and it is obvious that there is competition.

Yi Zhonghai will become the eldest uncle, and Liu Haizhong will become the second uncle.

There is no need for him to instigate these two. Besides, it is still unclear whether Liu Haizhong can become the manager, so there is no need for him to intervene. So he just needs to make sure Yan Bugui is on his side.

Although I'll probably have to give him benefits when I really need him, I'd like to keep the favor of his guidance. It will be more convenient to ask him to help me find out things in the future.

"Xiao Lu, from what you said, do you support me being the manager?" Yan Bugui spoke again at this time.

Lu Zhenyuan nodded immediately and patted his shoulder.

"Of course, after all, you are a teacher, and your knowledge is broader than others. If an illiterate person is allowed to become the manager, who knows how many jokes will be caused?" At this point, he took a deep breath.

"You know our family's situation. My sister works at the street office and needs to avoid suspicion. There are only a few families in our front yard. I can talk to Aunt Mei and you don't need to worry about it, so you just need to deal with the Du family and the Guo family."

"Really, Old Yan, you can't be stingy at this time. You have to spend some money, but it won't be much. If you convince the Du and Guo families, then the position of the front yard manager will be yours."

Yan Bugui nodded and was also very understanding.

"Well, Xiao Lu, you are right. We should not hesitate in the face of major issues. Don't worry, your teacher Yan will remember your kindness. If I really become the head of the department, you can tell me if you have any problems in the future."

Tsk, this calculating guy is now taking advantage.

The corner of Lu Zhenyuan's mouth twitched, and the hand pressing on his shoulder slightly exerted a little force, and said nonchalantly: "Look at what you said about Old Yan, who are we on whom? He is a brother from the same door! If I don't support you, who will I support?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you the two cigarettes I promised you before. Let's put things in perspective. Even if I really need to trouble you in the future, will I let you work in vain?"

The magic tricks made Yan Bugui laugh, and he felt that this manager had great potential and he must take him down.

If you don't want to give up your wife, you can't get your master! It seems that this time you will be in pain for a while.

The two of them returned to the courtyard one after another, but did not attract anyone's attention.

Lu Zhenyuan continued to exercise, as he was not in a hurry to deal with the deaf old lady. Then, while he was exercising, he saw Yan Bugui carrying a pot of flowers that he had planted himself to the west wing of the Du family.

After about a few minutes, Lao Du sent me out the door.

Lu Zhenyuan clearly noticed that the moment Yan Bugui turned his head, the smile on his face turned into a painful expression.

After a while, Yan Bugui was seen carrying a pot of flowers into a narrow courtyard. It was estimated that he was going to the Guo family to build relationships.

Not long after, Yan Bugui came back and smiled at him before going back to the house.

"Tsk tsk, Old Yan, you can't do this. I said no, but you really didn't give it to me. You don't even pretend to do it?" Lu Zhenyuan shook his head secretly. Of course, he was not really thinking about the pot of flowers.

I just feel that Yan Laokou has narrowed the path.

In fact, he didn't really wrongly accuse Yan Bugui.

Because Yan Bugui actually thought about whether he should send a pot of flowers to the Lu family. He knew in his heart that they probably wouldn't look down on it, but after sending two pots of flowers in a row... he felt distressed!

Thinking about how I still have to maintain the relationship between the Du and Guo families and how much I have to pay, I feel even more distressed.

Just don’t send it to the Lu family.

He also remembered what Lu Zhenyuan said, that their family had to avoid suspicion, so that the threat would be gone, and it wouldn't matter whether they sent it or not.

Lu Zhenyuan just didn’t know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would have to teach him a lesson.

He said he wanted to avoid suspicion. He couldn't decide who would be the boss, but he could decide who wouldn't be the boss.

"The new bride has entered the yard. I wonder if Sha Zhu has met his sister Qin? If he has, will he go to climb over the wall tonight?" As Lu Zhenyuan was thinking about it, he thought of the deaf old lady in the backyard.

"Humph! I'll collect some interest tonight."

After exercising for a while, Lu Zhenyuan returned to the house, cleaned himself up, and waited for the night to come.

Around nine o'clock, Jia's house.

Jia Dongxu looked at the ceiling in a daze. Qin Huairu, who was standing beside him, looked embarrassed and comforted him, "I heard that it's always like this the first time. Why don't you try again?"

Jia Dongxu came to his senses. Is it always like this?

"Try it!"

Lu Zhenyuan appeared in the central courtyard. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one under the window of the Jia family. If someone had eavesdropped at the Jia family, then tonight's action would have been in vain.

But he didn't know that at this moment, Sha Zhu was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, with his mind full of the figure he saw during the day.

He walked along the corner of the wall towards the fourth courtyard gate. When he passed by the Jia family, he happened to hear some noise inside and his expression looked a little strange.

Try?

Come on, you two try it here!

He sneaked in the dark all the way. In order to avoid being discovered, he didn't even take any lighting. He relied entirely on the moonlight to see.

He quickly entered the backyard and stood at the door of each house for a while. After making sure that there was no movement in the house, he came to the door of the deaf old lady. With an idea in his mind, he took out tools from the paradise space.

With a hoe, he began to dig a hole in front of the deaf old woman's door.

He made very little noise, but it was not difficult to dig with his strength, and the excavated soil was directly stored into the Utopia space.

The space can collect things from the outside world, but it is limited to the ability to collect and cannot be accurately controlled. For example, he cannot use the space to directly collect a piece of soil in front of the deaf old lady's door and create a pit.

That involved the control of space. He couldn't even control the space within the paradise, let alone the outside world.

So I can only dig it out myself and then put it into the paradise space.

After digging carefully for nearly an hour, he finally dug a hole more than one meter deep. He then took out some crop straw from the Utopia, spread it on the hole, and then filled some soil back on the straw.

Finally, sprinkle a pot of water so that the soil is moistened and then dried in the shade overnight. Although there are still some differences compared with the surrounding dry soil, it cannot be noticed without careful observation.

It took him a lot of effort to do all this, pack up the tools, and erase all traces along the route he came.

There was no way. The courtyard had not been renovated at that time. Except for the corridor, the ground in the yard was all sand and lime.

The narrow courtyard at the first entrance of this quadrangle is paved with bricks, the front yard at the second entrance is all sand, the middle yard has lime flooring, and the back yard is bare ground.

If it wasn't bare ground, he wouldn't be able to dig the hole.

After making sure that no identifiable traces were left, he made his way back to the front yard.

After returning home and cleaning up, he tiptoed back to the room and found that his cheap sister was still awake.

"Oh, go to sleep." Lu Wanyi spoke with a helpless tone.

Lu Zhenyuan grinned. Perhaps because of her past experiences, her adopted sister slept very lightly, that is, she slept more deeply during the period before waking up.

Therefore, if there was any movement in the first half of the night, my cheap sister would definitely be able to notice it.

Not to mention the one hour he was out. Fortunately, he informed us in advance what he was going to do and why he did it.

"Don't do bad things in the future."

Feeling the gentle breath blowing against his ears, Lu Zhenyuan replied, "Disciplining the beasts is not a bad thing."

In the darkness, Lu Wanyi opened her mouth, speechless.

Makes sense!
