Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

Time passed quickly, and by eight o'clock in the evening, the three of them had finalized the specific implementation process, and then left the study together and simply ate a few buns downstairs.

Secretary Cui instructed Zhang Qing to organize the agreed contents and send them to the department to report to his superiors tomorrow.

After Zhang Qing left, Cui immediately changed his face and scolded Lao Yang: "What are you doing! You didn't even touch a woman before, but now you can't live without a woman, right? I didn't care about you outside, but you still messed with so many women when you came back to China. You are giving them a handle! The girls from the Zhao and Li families are okay, you can just take them away. Why did you mess with the girl from Zhou Laohu's family again? Zhou Zhennan has a hot temper, and he will fight you to the death! You better restrain yourself, this is China, don't get carried away. Otherwise, don't come back in the future, I'm afraid my heart will not be able to bear it and you will scare me to death!"

Old Yang came up to Cui with a playful smile and rubbed his shoulders and back, saying, "Uncle Cui, this can't be entirely my fault! I didn't take the initiative to provoke anyone, and I didn't want to meet Zhou Xiaobai. They took the initiative to provoke me. I have tried my best to avoid them, but I always run into them and get pestered by them. I am also very anxious!"

Secretary Cui immediately knocked his hand away and scolded him: "You still have no sense of responsibility as a man, and you have learned to evade and shirk responsibility! Did you take the initiative to kiss her? Don't think I don't know anything. You deal with it and don't make any trouble, or I will skin you alive!"

"I will definitely listen to what Cui Bo says, and I have been avoiding them now, and I am determined to draw a clear line between myself and them. Do you think you can get some of our old friends to help me? My current intelligence is indeed lacking." Old Yang hurriedly came forward to play the victim.

Secretary Cui sighed and said in a heavy heart: "Our old friends have either sacrificed themselves or been seriously injured. There are only a few left! It's not that I can't bear to let them go out and suffer. If they go with you, they may never come back, and they won't even have a chance to return to their roots!"

Old Yang's eyes turned red after hearing this, and he said slowly: "The oath we made at that time was to sacrifice silently for the country, without seeking fame or fortune! I won't force you to do anything. You can tell them who is willing to go abroad with me, and I will take them away. After all, after the country is stable, they have fewer and fewer opportunities to take action. Not everyone likes a peaceful environment!"

Secretary Cui thought about it and nodded in agreement with Lao Yang's suggestion: "Okay! I'll talk to them later. See if anyone wants to go with you. I won't stop them. After all, some people are born with an adventurous personality. If they stay in a peaceful environment, their talents will be buried and their nature will be suppressed."

Officer Cui looked at the cute Old Yang and said, "You should get out of here too! Stop getting in my way and take care of your mess!"

Old Yang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Uncle Cui, don't worry, I will solve this matter immediately and won't cause you any trouble!"

After saying that, Lao Yang left Secretary Cui's courtyard in a flash, and without waiting for Secretary Cui to arrange a car to take him out, he walked out of the courtyard. He took out a bicycle from a hidden location and rode away quickly.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Lao Yang put away his bicycle and jumped into the yard. Seeing that the light in the west wing was still on, he walked a few steps to the door and knocked.

Zhao Jingyi's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Old Yang replied softly: "It's me!"

Lao Yang's voice was heard in the room, followed by footsteps. The door was opened and Lao Yang was welcomed in, then the door was locked.

Zhao Jingyi hugged Lao Yang and asked, "You came back so late, have you eaten? I'll make you some noodles and beat an egg."

Old Yang hugged Zhao Jingyi and said, "Don't do it. I've already eaten at my boss's house. You must be tired after a busy day. Let's rest early!"

Zhao Jingyi gently hit Lao Yang and said, "Why are you so impatient? Let's wash up first and then rest."

As he said this, he pushed Lao Yang away and went to the stove to pick up the kettle to boil for Lao Yang to wash up.

He had originally planned to discuss future arrangements with Zhao Jingyi, but seeing Zhao Jingyi's flushed face and falling asleep from exhaustion, he could only get up early tomorrow to discuss it.

Old Yang entered the space to organize the items he brought with him, and planned to put the car in a secret location in the next two days, and then notify Zhang Qing to come and transport the car for licensing.

Looking at the motorcycle in the space, Lao Yang planned to release it and give it to some important second-generation and third-generation reds to muddy the waters. He also took the opportunity to get a batch of electrical appliances to donate to the troops and exchange for a batch of outstanding talents.

Seeing the things that Li Yuping used before placed in the corner, I decided to take some time to deliver them to her tomorrow.

Old Yang hugged Zhao Jingyi and fell into a rest state.

The next morning, while the two were still sleeping, they heard a knock on the door.

Zhao Jingyi yelled in a daze: "Who is it? So early!"

Li Yuping's voice came from outside: "What's so early? Hurry up and open the door for me!"

Old Yang watched Zhao Jingyi reluctantly get out of bed, grabbed a nightgown and put it on, then went to open the door.

After opening the door of the main room, Li Yuping came in carrying a large box. Old Yang quickly took it and asked, "What are you carrying?"

Li Yuping entered the house and closed the door before answering, "These are my daily necessities. I moved in here today."

As he said that, he motioned to Lao Yang to carry the box and walk towards the guest room on the north side.

After entering the guest room, Li Yuping put the suitcase in Lao Yang's hand on the floor and opened it, took out all the clothes and toiletries inside, and placed them in the closet and on the washbasin rack. She spread her own sheets on the bed and changed the quilt cover to a new one.

At this time, Zhao Jingyi, who had just gotten up, came to the guest room and leaned against the door watching Li Yuping clean up.

She said, "Oh, Miss Li brought her own bed sheets and quilt covers. You think your sister's things are unhygienic? Why don't you move your bed and quilts over here?"

Li Yuping also groaned and said, "Look how proud you are! If it wasn't inconvenient to live at home, I would have asked my husband to live at home a long time ago, and I guarantee that you won't get anything out of it!"

Zhao Jingyi laughed and said, "You crazy girl, you are just joking. My husband and I are a legal couple with a marriage certificate. What are you? You are just a mistress. To put it in a good way, you are just a concubine. What's there to be proud of?"

Li Yuping looked at Lao Yang angrily. Lao Yang smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, saying, "It was an accident, just an accident! I brought back all your things from the south. Where do you think I should send them to you?"

Li Yuping's eyes lit up immediately, and she stepped forward to hug Lao Yang's arm and said, "Husband, just send it here for me! After all, it's convenient for us to use it!"

After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Jingyi provocatively. Zhao Jingyi glared at Li Yuping in anger, turned around and went back to her bedroom to wash up and go to work.

Li Yuping hummed a little tune as she cleaned the house as if she had won a battle. Old Yang went to the main room when he saw that there was nothing for him to do, took out some cakes and snacks from the space and put them on the table. Then he went to the south bedroom to change his clothes, took his toothpaste and toothbrush and went to the yard to brush his teeth. Neighbors passing by the door also greeted Old Yang, and Old Yang nodded in response.

After washing up and returning to the main room, Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping were already sitting at the table eating cakes and teasing each other from time to time.

When the two girls saw Lao Yang coming back, they immediately invited him to have some snacks. Lao Yang also sat at the table and chatted with the two girls.

Zhao Jingyi asked: "Honey, where did this snack come from? The taste is very unique, I haven't seen it in Kyoto!"

Before Lao Yang could answer, Li Yuping said, "This is a snack from Hong Kong. Of course it's not available in Kyoto. I often ate it when I was working in Shenzhen. My husband always brought it to me!"

Zhao Jingyi rolled her eyes at Li Yuping and didn't ask any more questions, so as to prevent her from showing off any further.

Lao Yang said, "I will be going back to Hong Kong in a few days. Do you two want to come with me? After all, my focus is on Hong Kong, and I won't have many opportunities to go back to China."

The two girls immediately fell silent and ate their snacks in silence. Old Yang broke the silence and said, "You can think about it. I will stay in Kyoto for a while. You can discuss it with your family."

The two women nodded silently.

Old Yang took out two bags of hot milk and handed them to the two girls like a magic trick, saying, "Drink some milk. It's good for your skin and rich in nutrition!"

The two girls happily took the milk and drank it. After all, daily necessities were scarce, and high-end drinks like milk were rarely available. After eating the snacks, the two girls left to go to work.

Lao Yang was alone at home. He took out Li Yuping's personal belongings from the space and put them in the north bedroom. He also took out the refrigerator, TV, electric fan, induction cooker, rice cooker, etc. and installed them. He also took out various fruit snacks to fill the refrigerator, and put various nuts and canned food in the cupboard.

After finishing, he locked the door and left the compound, riding his bike around the street. He had originally planned to go to Shichahai for exercise, but he didn't go because he was avoiding Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun.

Lao Yang planned to find an empty warehouse or yard to park the car in. Lao Yang walked around the industrial area of ​​West City but couldn't find a suitable location.

When Lao Yang was worrying about how to find a place, he saw two street urchins passing by and immediately came up with an idea.

Lao Yang stopped his bike and yelled at the two street urchins, "Hey, what are you two doing? Come here!"

When the two heard someone scolding them, they immediately turned around angrily, but after seeing Lao Yang's figure and clothes, they immediately became scared.

They turned and ran forward. Lao Yang rushed over and grabbed the two men. He kicked each of them and scolded them, "Why are you running? Didn't you hear me calling you? Tell me! Did you do something shameful?"

The two men immediately begged for mercy: "Master, be gentle! Let us go! We didn't do anything, we were just taking a walk here!"

Lao Yang continued to scare the two men and said, "Why are you running away if you didn't do anything bad? Don't try to explain to me. Come on, follow me to the street and explain everything clearly!"

The two were so scared that they quickly told the truth: "Master, we really didn't do anything bad. We followed Master Ma Si, and Master Ma asked us to stay here to look after the yard. We really didn't do anything bad!"

"What yard are you looking at? You two don't look like the kind of people who would do good things! Are you planning to rob the house?" Lao Yang felt that something was fishy and continued to threaten.

The two were immediately startled and loudly defended themselves: "Sir, please don't accuse us! Although we don't look good, we are not bad people. Mr. Jin from Guaigu Hutong ran away, but his house was left behind. Mr. Ma asked us to keep an eye on it to make sure it is not taken away by others. He used his connections to get the house under his name, and we two are just errand boys. Please let us go! We are leaving now."

Old Yang glared at the two men fiercely and said, "Who knows if what you two said is true or not? Take me to see the house. If it's true, I'll let you go. If you're lying to me, I'll break your legs and throw you out on the street!"

The two men immediately nodded and bowed in front to lead the way. Lao Yang pushed his bicycle and followed behind. After turning a few turns, they arrived at the gate of a large courtyard.

Pointing to the courtyard, he said, "Master, this is Master Jin's courtyard. Now everyone has left and locked it, so other people don't know about it yet. Master Ma Si is the leader of this area, so he received the news."

Lao Yang looked around the gate and felt that the yard was not small. He locked his bicycle and said to the two men fiercely, "You two stay here and I will go to see if the yard is what you said it is. I will come back and deal with you."

After saying that, he took two quick steps and jumped onto the gate tower, standing on the gate tower and looking inside.

I saw a large courtyard inside the gate. It didn't look like a traditional residence, but a martial arts hall of a believer. The courtyard was quite large, and the ground was paved with blue bricks. There were weapon racks on both sides, but there were no weapons on them. It was estimated that a lot of steel had been taken away.

To the east is a row of side rooms, which should be for the apprentices to rest. To the west is a wall, and outside is an open space. To the north is the main house, which has only two simple entrances. There is a small room on each side of the gatehouse, which should be the gatehouse.

Old Yang walked around the wall and found that the surrounding buildings were not close to each other. In addition to the main gate, there is a side gate in the northwest corner. Old Yang is very satisfied with this design, especially the fact that it is not close to the surrounding buildings. It is probably because he often practices martial arts, so there are no neighbors.

Lao Yang returned to the gatehouse and jumped back to the ground. The two hooligans were so scared since Lao Yang jumped onto the gatehouse that they dared not move and watched him carefully. After Lao Yang came back, the two were so scared that they sat on the ground and could not stand up.

Lao Yang nodded to the two and said, "Very good, you two didn't lie to me. I decided to let you two go. Let's go! Take me to see Master Ma Si. Once you see Master Ma Si, you will be free!"

The two of them took a long time to get up from the ground and took Lao Yang to see Master Ma Si.

Master Ma Si’s full name is Ma Sichang. He is a veteran cannon of the Eight Banners of Han in old Kyoto. He was sworn brothers with several cannon masters in Xicheng and was ranked fourth among them, so he was called Master Ma Si.

After liberation, he used his connections to get a poor peasant identity. He secretly gathered his former subordinates to do some unconventional business. He was warned several times by the higher-ups and has become very restrained. He only dares to do some brokerage work, helping the old and young to sell materials and collect some benefits. He has shares in several pigeon markets in Xicheng and is doing well.
