I messed up the Siheyuan

In just half an hour, I met An Ran, she confessed her love to me, and then we parted ways...

After going through so much, Wang Ping's emotions remained relatively calm.

After An Ran left, he still walked towards the two families.

In those two houses, Wang Ping spent another busy and fulfilling day.

On this day, under the guidance of Na Er, Wang Ping not only went through the remaining half of the porcelain in the room, but also went through it again.

He even appreciated more than a dozen pieces of calligraphy and paintings in another room.

At this speed, it would take another six or seven days at most for him to go through everything in the four rooms on the east and west sides of the two houses.

......

Wang Ping, who returned to Compound No. 95 as the sunset glowed, was stunned for a moment.

Five or six bricklayers were busy working inside and outside the back room of Yan Fugui's house.

Seeing Wang Ping coming back, Liu Guangtian immediately came over.

Before Wang Ping could speak, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Brother Ping, these masters were hired by Brother Guangtian's father-in-law, and the money for repairing the house was also paid by them."

"Wow!" Wang Ping was surprised. "Brother Jie Cheng is a son-in-law. His father-in-law really cares about him and even takes care of the cleaning of the new house!"

"Who said it wasn't!..." Liu Guangtian said with some jealousy: "After you left in the morning, Brother Ping, these masters came over and started working.

I asked around...

They said yes, this job is urgent.

The owner gave three days.

Let's clean up this back room the day after tomorrow.

However, they pay a lot of money.

It is said to be twice as much as usual.

So, even when it is dark, these masters are still working here!

It is said that after the house is cleaned up, several stoves will be brought in and kept burning for three days and three nights.

We will try to dry the house within three days and then let the new people move in."

"Wow!" Wang Ping was shocked again. "According to what you said, Guang Tian's father-in-law is really worried."

After saying this, he saw the faint envy on Liu Guangtian's face, so he smiled and teased: "What's wrong? Guangtian, are you envious?"

Liu Guangtian smiled sheepishly, but still nodded, and said with a hint of resentment: "Brother Jie Cheng is really lucky to have found such a good father-in-law."

This made Wang Ping burst into laughter.

"Guangtian, wait a couple of days, and then say this to me after you see Jie Chengge's wife!"

......

Four days later, on the morning of the fifth day.

Wang Ping arrived at the two houses early as he did in the previous few days.

What was different from the previous few days was that he was holding a cloth bag in his hand today.

The cloth bag contained ten pounds of corn flour and two pounds of white flour.

The reason why we brought food here was because those two families had run out of food.

Before that, the second one used a jade ring to exchange for thirty kilograms of coarse grains and two kilograms of white flour from Wang Ping.

In the past few days, Wang Ping would usually give him more food after having lunch at his place.

Moreover, the amount given is much more than what you eat.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to consume so much food in just a few days.

However, it depends on who is responsible.

For an old man like Na Er, there is not enough oil in his stomach.

He had just exchanged some food with Wang Ping and had two full meals, and he started to show off in front of the group of old people.

As a result, his friends, whose eyes turned green with hunger, immediately began to borrow food from him.

And that second person is particularly concerned about his reputation.

If someone came to his door, said a few nice words, and called him "Second Master", he would happily lend them food.

Wang Ping has been meeting two or three groups of people borrowing food almost every day when he comes to his place.

Until yesterday evening, when Wang Ping was leaving, he took a special look at the flour bags of the two families.

It turned out that there was only a handful of corn flour left.

That little bit of corn flour was only enough for him to make two steamed buns in the morning.

So, when Wang Ping came here today, he brought some food with him.

What surprised Wang Ping was that the man who opened the door for him looked a little timid.

Moreover, after seeing the cloth bag in Wang Ping's hand, he unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"Mr. Na, what are you doing..." Wang Ping looked at the second man and asked in confusion, "Didn't you eat breakfast?"

The second one smiled awkwardly and then nodded.

"Hiss! ...Don't you still have some cornmeal in your bag?"

“Hehe…” The second one said embarrassedly: “Yesterday, after you left, another group came to borrow food, and I…hehe…”

Wang Ping glanced at him and said angrily, "Old Na, you are really amazing!

You would rather starve yourself than lend food to others, right?

You said...

What do you want this face for?

Isn't this just a matter of saving face and suffering in life? "

Wang Ping's accusation did not annoy the second man.

He just sighed and said a little sadly: "Pingzi, I'm not just doing this for the sake of face.

Those who can ask me to borrow food have a relationship with my family that goes back generations.

Some of them are even relatives within the fifth degree of mourning.

you say...

I'm full, how can I watch them starve?"

After explaining, he put on a flattering smile and pointed at the bag in Wang Ping's hand.

Wang Ping stuffed the bag directly into Na Er's hand and said, "Old Na, here are ten pounds of corn flour and two pounds of white flour. Just give me one of them."

"Okay! ...Man..."

With food in hand, the second one was immediately revived with full health.

He said excitedly: "You are open and aboveboard, so I can't be too stingy.

Today, I let you choose any treasure from the four rooms.

Pick whichever one you want and take it away."

These words made Wang Ping's eyes light up.

"Mr. Na, are you telling the truth?"

"How can it be false!" Na Er said proudly, "I am from the Manchuria Plain Yellow Banner, and I am from the Tacit Understanding Department. Na Er, that Second Master, his words are as good as his words.

I have never sat back from what I said!"

After saying that, he pulled Wang Ping and quickly came to the yard.

Standing in the middle of the yard, he put the bag in his hand on the ground. He didn't know what was wrong and suddenly he started to sigh.

"The year the Qing dynasty fell, my second son was only 23 years old!"

"I remember it clearly."

"The night before, I had just spent my wedding night. But when I woke up the next morning, the Qing Dynasty was gone."

"The Qing Dynasty is gone, so be it!"

"We have plenty of money, houses, and things..."

"We!...We can still live a good life!"

"Who knows...?"

"I can let it go, but my old man can't!"

"As a result, only three months after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, our old man died of anger."
