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

Ma Siye, who was waiting on the side, immediately called Ah Can and told him to go to Quanjude to order a banquet. After receiving the instructions, Ah Can quickly left the courtyard to order the meal.

Seeing that the matter was settled, several people stood up and thanked Lao Yang. Lao Yang still needed others to be so polite, so he quickly stopped them and said, "No, no, please don't, sit down, you are too polite! It's not a big deal for everyone to eat a meal for me. Come, let's talk about the requirements of the factory area and warehouse design."

Lao Yang took out some paper and pen from his back, roughly marked the factory site, and introduced his needs to several people. There are two floors of gatehouse in the front, four floors of office building in the back, and a warehouse in the middle, with a corridor in the middle. The design looks simple and rough. The difficulty is the large-span ceiling, especially when Lao Yang proposed to build a basement, everyone was amazed! After all, there are too few buildings with basements in China, except for air-raid shelters and treasure rooms, but there are basically no large-scale multifunctional basements like this.

After Lao Yang introduced his needs, he asked everyone to put forward their opinions and suggestions. After they were improved, they could be handed over to Qi Guangtai to draw the drawings.

Before they knew it, it was noon. Ah Chan came back and told Master Ma that the meal was ready. Master Ma whispered something in Lao Yang's ear and then walked aside.

Seeing that things had been discussed to the point of completion, Old Yang stood up and said, "Let's stop here for now, everyone. It's basically almost done. We'll have to trouble Engineer Qi to handle the later drawing and modifications! The food is ready, let's go." He led everyone out of the compound.

The group rode their bicycles to Quanjude, and arrived at the same private room as before. After the guests and hosts were seated, Ma Siye ordered the dishes to be served. Soon the table was filled with dishes, with both meat and vegetables in a standard combination, and the wine was Lao Baigan.

The group drank happily and happily. When they left, except for Section Chief Li and Ma Siye who were still dizzy, the other two were already 80% to 90% drunk. The three of them were taken back by the younger brother Ma Siye had called on by bicycle.

After sending everyone away, Lao Yang said to Fourth Master Ma: "Thanks to Fourth Master's help in this matter, I will trouble you a lot in the future, so I won't be polite to you. Take this money and help me maintain the relationship with these people. You must do a good job in the preliminary work! I will give you the cost of the subsequent projects, and you can transfer it to them. I will leave you 10% of the profit in the middle. You must keep an eye on the project for me. If there is any problem, I will come to you directly!"

Old Yang took out 1 U.S. dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into the pocket of Mr. Ma Si.

Master Ma was flattered when he saw the green US dollars in his hand and wanted to hand the money back.

Lao Yang refused and said, "This money is not for you. It's for you to help me maintain these relationships. I will definitely have to treat you to a meal later, and I can't ask you to pay for it. I'm not such a frivolous person! Don't refuse it, or we won't be able to interact with each other in the future!"

Master Ma Si put away the US dollars, bowed to Old Yang and said, "Then Ma Si will accept it. If you have any questions next, Master Yang can talk to me directly!"

Old Yang walked out, saying as he walked, "I will go back to get a letter of certification now. In the evening, I will ask Ah Chan to come to my place to take the documents and give them to Section Chief Li for approval. I will give you some gold later to thank Section Chief Li on my behalf. We can't let him work in vain. We must understand the ways of the world!"

Ma Siye nodded and wrote down Lao Yang's request. After telling him the address, he rode away on his bicycle.

Ma Siye looked at the back of Old Yang going away and sighed in his heart: What a rare talent! He is good at kung fu, handsome, and most importantly, rich! He is the chosen one! He must have a bright future if he can follow me!

Master Ma Si called Acan back to the old nest and told Acan to go to Lao Yang's house later to get the information.

He changed his clothes and went to Li's house to report what happened today.

Old Yang rode back leisurely, looking at the scene on the street, he felt as if he was in a dream. The sparse pedestrians on the street were weaving and passing by like a dream. Suddenly, a group of people appeared in Old Yang's consciousness, and he turned his eyes to the group of people in front of him. After zooming in, he found that it was Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun's gang.

A group of people blocked Lao Yang's car in a threatening manner, scaring passers-by to take a detour.

Old Yang braked his bike and jumped off, looking at Zhong Yuemin with disdain and said, "Why, you got out in one day! What are you trying to do by stopping me? You want to go back in again? You are such a naughty boy, idling around all day long, learning nothing! You are bringing shame to your fathers, get out of here! Get away from me in the future."

After saying that, Lao Yang pushed his bicycle forward and bumped into Zhong Yuemin who was blocking the road.

Old Yang's words deeply irritated the group of people, and they all started to curse. Zhong Yuemin also looked at Old Yang with red eyes and cursed: "Who the hell are you to teach me a lesson! If I don't beat you up today, I can't relieve the hatred in my heart. Go to hell!"

After saying that, he raised his fist and hit Lao Yang head-on.

Old Yang took a step back and pushed the bicycle forward, the wheel hitting Zhong Yuemin's calf, the huge force knocked Zhong Yuemin to the ground. Yuan Jun, who was standing next to him, immediately supported Zhong Yuemin, and the two rushed towards Old Yang together.

Old Yang grabbed the bicycle and used it to sweep away thousands of enemies. The wheel hit Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun directly on the belly. The two could not bear the force and flew backwards, crashing into the crowd behind them and knocking down seven or eight people.

This sudden change made other people stunned, and passers-by cheered. Lao Yang looked speechlessly at the people who came around to watch the fight. You said you should cheer when you see people fighting, is that really okay?

Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun grimaced in pain and glared at Lao Yang fiercely, but rubbed their stomachs with their hands to relieve the pain.

Zhong Yuemin shouted in pain, "Brothers, fight! I don't believe he can beat so many people!"

Everyone who got up rushed towards Lao Yang. Lao Yang parked his bike to the side and faced the thugs. There was no need for any moves to deal with this group of street thugs. As long as you were faster than them and hit them where it hurt every time, there was no way you would lose.

In less than five minutes, all the people who followed Zhong Yuemin fell to the ground.

Old Yang took two steps forward and came in front of Zhong Yuemin, grabbed his collar and pulled him up, looking at the terrified Zhong Yuemin.

Lao Yang patted his cheek and said, "How's it going, kid? You know how powerful it is now! You guys are just playing house. If you want to become powerful, go join the army! Instead of fooling around, why not go to the army and hone yourself?"

After saying that, he let go. Zhong Yuemin fell down, and endured the pain in his buttocks and stomach, staring at Lao Yang with complicated eyes. Just like that, he watched Lao Yang push his bicycle away in style!

After a while, everyone stood up. Although they were still not able to move smoothly, they could basically walk normally. Soon, a police officer who was passing by came forward to question them.

Zhong Yuemin and his gang quickly explained that they were injured while practicing wrestling, and there was absolutely no fight, so they deceived the police.

Zhong Yuemin led a group of people to the front door and sat on the steps. They discussed what Lao Yang said - joining the army. The fights in the past few days had a great impact on Zhong Yuemin.

Before they met Lao Yang, Zhong Yuemin and his gang had fought often, but they had never felt so powerless before. They didn't even have a chance to fight back. They were all knocked down before they could even grab a piece of clothing!

Zhong Yuemin had practiced with his father's soldier king before, and he felt that the difference between them was not big and they hurt each other, but it was never as big as this time. He had never encountered such a powerful person in the past few years of fighting in Sijiu City. So he always thought that he was the most powerful person in the world.

The two times that he was taught a lesson by Lao Yang made Zhong Yuemin doubt his own ability. He was thinking whether he should go to the army to train for two years, so as to avoid being beaten by Lao Yang in the future. It is said that the army is a melting pot, and you can be reborn after entering it.

Zhong Yuemin raised this question very seriously, and the friends sitting on the ground also fell into doubt, staring at Zhong Yuemin in a daze. Zhong Yuemin told him all his thoughts in detail.

Everyone felt that it seemed to make sense. After all, when they had fought before, they had both suffered injuries and were evenly matched. They had never encountered a crushing blow like Lao Yang. He clearly felt that he was stronger than the other party, but he had no power to fight back. After Zhong Yuemin explained, he felt that he really needed to go to the army to improve himself, and he would be more powerful in fighting after returning.

Although Yuan Jun didn't agree with it in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. Everyone discussed and decided to go back and ask their parents to use their connections to send them to the army.

After everyone left, Yuan Jun expressed his opinion to Zhong Yuemin and said, "Yuemin, why do I feel that something is wrong? We have encountered some powerful people in fights before, but it has never been as bad as this. I feel that the opponent is too powerful, a bit like the martial arts masters in the storybooks. He can hit our weaknesses with just a move of his hands and feet, and his moves are simple and very efficient. The opponent's actions are very casual and careless, as if he has dealt with us without much effort!"

"I heard from my father that he had encountered a powerful Kung Fu master before. At that time, a whole class of people rushed forward but failed to defeat the man. Later, he was hit by a bomb and died on the battlefield. It is said that there are such people in places like Wudang Mountain and Shaolin Temple. Have we encountered such a Kung Fu master? I just don't know who he is and where he is? Otherwise, we should know if we go and ask around, and maybe we can even make friends with him."

Zhong Yuemin nodded in agreement after hearing this and said, "This is also possible! It is said that many Kung Fu masters died on the battlefield before the founding of the country, and many martial arts were lost. It is not ruled out that he is a hidden master! But if you can't beat him, then you can't beat him. Since he said he would train in the army, if he doesn't work, then go to the army for a few years, and then come back and fight again, and you will know. Since he has appeared in Kyoto, he will definitely not be able to escape. If you go up to him now, you will just get beaten and scolded! It feels boring to be tossed around like this recently, so why not change the environment."

The two walked and talked until they were near the military compound. At this time, Yuan Jun touched Zhong Yuemin and said, "Look, is that the woman from before?"

Zhong Yuemin looked up and recognized the girl he had photographed before, walking on the road in a green military uniform.

Zhong Yuemin immediately perked up, brushed off the dust on his body, tidied his messy hair, rubbed his face with his sleeve, and when he thought there was no problem, he went to meet him.

Zhou Xiaobai has been upset these past two days. Her good friend Luo Yun has not come to play with her these past two days. She went to her house to look for her but she was not there. She said she had gone out to play and had not returned home for two days! Zhou Xiaobai felt that something was wrong and had a little guess, but she did not want to admit it. So she went out for a walk alone today and planned to go to the city library to read some books and relax.

Zhou Xiaobai felt very depressed because Luo Yun didn't accompany her and didn't share her secrets with her. She felt betrayed, but her pride didn't allow her to question Luo Yun.

Zhou Xiaobai was walking absentmindedly on the road, and two people coming from the opposite direction blocked her way. She looked up and saw that it was the guy she had a crush on in the park last time, and his name seemed to be Zhong Yuemin. The other party blocked her way, with mud all over his face, and it was obvious that he had just been in a fight. She immediately compared him with Lao Yang in her mind, and found that he was not as good as Lao Yang in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, not to mention that Lao Yang was rich and caring.

Zhou Xiaobai blushed and shook his head, driving this thought out of his mind. He stared at Zhong Yuemin and asked, "Zhong Yuemin, why are you blocking me? Get out of the way! I want to go to the library to read."

Zhong Yuemin put on a self-proclaimed cool look and said, "Girl, your name is Xiaobai, right? We are so lucky to meet again. Let's go out and play together. I'll buy you a soda!"

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help laughing at his cocky look and lame excuse for chatting up someone: "Hahahaha... Zhong Yuemin, you're so funny. Who is destined to be with you? My name is Zhou Xiaobai, don't call me Xiaobai. We're not that familiar. Go chat up someone else! I'm not interested in you."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaobai walked around Zhong Yuemin and continued walking forward.

Zhong Yuemin saw that his trick of slapping the old woman had failed. He was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and reaching out to grab Zhou Xiaobai's arm.

Yuan Jun hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Zhong Yuemin, whispering in his ear: "Yuemin, be careful of the impact! There are military personnel around here. If your father hears about it, you will be in trouble and will definitely be beaten. And I heard that Zhou Xiaobai is Zhou Laohu's daughter. She is not easy to mess with. Let's go back first!"

Zhong Yuemin was not a fool. He quickly calmed down after hearing Yuan Jun's words and said, "You're right! Now that we know who it is, we need to make a good plan. I have a crush on Zhou Xiaobai and I must pursue him! So what if his father is Zhou Lao Hu? You can't interfere with their free love!"

After saying that, he put his arm around Yuan Jun's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards their own courtyard, whispering about something.

After walking for a distance, Zhou Xiaobai turned her head and saw that Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun did not catch up with her, but walked towards the courtyard. She was relieved. Today she was alone, and she was still afraid that Zhong Yuemin would catch up and harass her. But she immediately felt disappointed again. Before, Luo Yun had always been with her, so she felt confident. When she was alone, she inexplicably lost her sense of security and felt aggrieved.

Looking at the road ahead, she suddenly decided to go to Lao Yang's courtyard to take a look. She felt that Luo Yun should be there! She wanted to ask Luo Yun why she abandoned her!
