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

Looking at the various dishes on the table, Zhou Xiaobai was so exhausted that he had to accept his fate! Is this man a god?

Seeing that the girls were still ordering dishes with great interest, Lao Yang quickly stopped them and said, "Don't order anymore. The table is full. Can you eat it all? Good things can't be made all at once!"

The girls looked up at the table full of dishes, put down the menus reluctantly, and began to wonder where to start.

Lao Yang took out a few more shortbreads from the space and placed them on the table, saying, "Okay, let's eat now. If it's not enough, I'll take more. Don't waste them."

Luo Yun touched the dazed Zhou Xiaobai, and Zhou Xiaobai came back to his senses. He stared at the table full of dishes and asked stupidly: "What, what is going on? Am I dreaming?" After saying that, he was about to pinch his thigh.

Luo Yun quickly pulled her aside and explained, "What nonsense are you talking about! This is my husband's ability. This is called the world in his sleeves! My husband is an orthodox Taoist descendant and has many abilities. Following my husband, we will definitely not have to suffer anymore!"

Luo Yun's eyes were twinkling with little stars, and she proudly praised Lao Yang to Zhou Xiaobai, a complete fangirl. Zhou Xiaobai subconsciously moved to the side and looked at Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping. The two were very calm and had already picked up their chopsticks to start eating. She turned her head and looked at Lao Yang again, and found that Lao Yang was smiling at her. Her face immediately blushed, and she lowered her head and picked up the chopsticks to eat the food. She couldn't stop eating the food once it entered her mouth.

Old Yang also casually picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites, then took out a jar of Fenjiu from the space, filled it up and started drinking.

The girls who were scrambling to eat had almost finished their meals, and then they became more polite, chewing slowly and savoring the food. Zhao Jingyi was a little tempted by watching Old Yang drinking by himself, so she stood up, took out a few cups from the cupboard and placed them in front of everyone, and then took the wine jar and poured some for each person.

Several people followed suit and slowly began to taste the liquor. Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping often drank alcohol, and they felt comfortable drinking it. The more they drank, the more they wanted to drink. Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai had never drunk alcohol before, so they were a little uncomfortable with drinking white wine. They just drank a little and then stopped. Luo Yun took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, opened them, and started drinking with Zhou Xiaobai.

Seeing that everyone had stopped eating, Old Yang pointed at the leftovers on the table and said, "See? This is what you made! You were too picky, ordered too much but ate too little, and the leftovers are a waste! Jingyi, clean up and send them to Aunt Sun. She cares so much about us, so you should give her some benefits."

Zhao Jingyi nodded and started to clean up. The other girls also stood up and started to help. Soon the food was served on three plates, each of which was full. Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping carried the food to Aunt Sun's house.

Zhou Xiaobai pestered Lao Yang with questions and was very envious of Lao Yang's magical skills and begged to learn. Lao Yang had no choice but to hold Zhou Xiaobai in his arms and coax her, and brought up the reasons he used to fool other girls. Zhou Xiaobai was stunned and finally gave up learning the magical spell.

When Zhou Xiaobai saw Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping coming back, she quickly got down from Lao Yang's arms and sat back in her seat. After the two girls came back and sat down, Lao Yang took out the Da Hong Pao he had obtained from the space and made a cup for the girls, and they started chatting and drinking tea together.

After drinking the tea, they felt bored and went back to the bedroom to change into pajamas, locked the door and prepared to go to sleep.

Lao Yang looked at the time and realized it was too early. Seeing the girls giving him subtle looks, Lao Yang decided with great pain that he could not continue to be so decadent. So he took out two decks of cards from the space and started to teach the girls how to upgrade!

The girls were very excited to get the new toys, and they had a lot of fun playing with Lao Yang. Because they were not familiar with the rules, they kept shouting to quit! After playing two rounds, they gradually became familiar with the rules and became addicted to this game.

Old Yang heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that they were so engrossed in the game. He moved a stool and sat beside them, then began to serve them tea and water while they played the card game.

The girls had a lot of fun playing and before they knew it, it was already very late. Lao Yang stopped them from playing cards and urged them to wash up and go to bed. The girls, who were still not satisfied, looked at the cards on the table and didn't feel sleepy at all!

Old Yang had no choice but to put the poker into the space, took Zhao Jingyi to wash up, and went back to the room to rest first.

The girls who were washing up quickly sped up, turned off the lights and returned to the bedroom to wait...

The next morning, Lao Yang secretly released a car from the space and took Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, who were groaning after breakfast, back to the military compound. Each of them gave two large bags of gifts and agreed to visit Lao Yang again in two days. The two women were very happy and carried their things back to the compound.

At the gate of a nearby compound, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong watched two women getting off the car and going home.

Zheng Tong asked Zhong Yuemin: "Is that the girl you like? She looks pretty good!"

Zhong Yuemin said unhappily, "Of course Zhou Laohu's daughter is good! Look at the man in the car, do you have any impression of him? Anyone who can drive a car must not be an ordinary person."

Zheng Tong then noticed that the driver was a young man, who looked handsome and had a faint smile on his face. However, the car was not registered, so he didn't know which department it belonged to.

"Should we go up and interrogate him? We have no idea what he does, but he must be no ordinary person since he can afford to drive a car," Zheng Tong asked.

Zhong Yuemin shook his head and said, "I know this guy! I fought him twice but failed. He must be a master. A group of us can't beat him alone. Forget it! Let's go back, let's go!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the compound. Zheng Tong looked at Lao Yang deeply, remembering his face. He also turned around and chased Zhong Yuemin to the canteen in the compound, bought a pack of Hardman and two bottles of Beibingyang, and sat at the door of the canteen to drink.

Zhong Yuemin asked Zheng Tong, "Yuan Jun's father has found a connection for him, and he will join the army in a few months. Many of our friends have already decided to join the army. What do you want to do?"

Zheng Tong thought for a moment and said, "You know my family's situation. It's not easy to go anywhere with the label of left-leaning. No unit will accept me, so I can only muddle along like this. Let's see what happens next! If I can get rid of the label, that would be the best. If not, I can only respond to the policy and apply for support for rural construction."

Zhong Yuemin patted Zheng Tong's shoulder sympathetically and said to him, "Don't be so pessimistic. The country will get better and you will be vindicated! Now it's just the ordeal before dawn. You have to hold on!"

Zheng Tong drank the Beibingyang soda in his hand in one gulp, put the bottle in the box next to him, and said self-deprecatingly: "I don't have any big ideals, I just want to go to college and have a chance to change my destiny!"

Zhong Yuemin also drank the soda in his hand, pulled Zheng Tong towards his home, and said comfortingly: "Let's go to my house! Let's go have a drink and forget all our troubles!"

He opened the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Tong. The two of them walked away while smoking...

After Lao Yang put Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun down, he felt someone was looking at him. He glanced at them and saw that they were Zhong Yuemin and a skinny young man, so he didn't pay any attention. He started the car and drove to the courtyard of Director Cui, ready to ask if the approval had come down.

The car soon arrived at Cui's courtyard, and the guard was notified. Soon Zhang Qing came out, and seeing Lao Yang sitting in the car, he walked forward, opened the door, and got in.

Zhang Qing was in a good mood and asked, "Why did you think of it today? I thought you would come yesterday! This car is great, where did you get it from?"

He touched the leather sofa, stepped on the felt foot pad, and praised: "This is much better than the batch you sent!"

Lao Yang started the car and drove inside while saying, "What are you thinking? This one is worth your three! Go get me a license plate. This one was shipped in from outside and doesn't have the paperwork yet! It must have been very chaotic yesterday! So I didn't come to bother you."

Zhang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Yesterday was not chaos at all. It was a battlefield. Not only the government units, but also several leaders from the army came to fight for these cars. Those leaders from the army would never listen to reason with you. They brought their guards to beat up several leaders from the government units. In the end, it was Minister Yang from the General Logistics Department who came to suppress the matter. The leaders had no choice but to keep two cars and give the others to the Minister of the General Logistics Department to distribute!"

Seeing Zhang Qing so happy, Lao Yang didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm. After all, he kept two cars, which was better than having no one.

"Go ahead and take this car of mine away to get it registered! And register it with our Special Affairs Department." Old Yang said while patting the car.

Zhang Qing patted his chest and assured: "Brother Yang, just hold on, I promise to do this properly for you. Our two cars were already registered yesterday! I will drive over to register for you when you meet with the leader later!"

"Okay, you go and do it later. I brought a lot of good things today. I'll give you some to take home and improve your family's food." Old Yang stopped the car, turned around, patted Zhang Qing on the shoulder and said.

Lao Yang and Zhang Qing got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out two bags of things, leaving one bag still in the car.

Old Yang pointed at the remaining things and said, "This bag is for you. They are all rare things brought back from abroad. Don't take them out to show off, or they will be taken away by others! I'll drive you home and come back later." After that, he closed the car door and carried the two bags of things into the small building.

Zhang Qing led Lao Yang to Secretary Cui's office, knocked on the door, went in and reported the situation to Secretary Cui, then notified Lao Yang to go in and turned and left.

Lao Yang put his things on the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water from the thermos, and sat on the sofa waiting for Secretary Cui to finish his work.

This wait lasted for more than an hour. When Zhang Qing came back, Cui had not finished his work. Zhang Qing directly handed the driver's license and vehicle license documents to Lao Yang. He made tea for Cui and sent it over before returning to the confidential room to answer the phone. Only Lao Yang and Cui, who was busy working, were left in the room.

After about half an hour, Director Cui finally finished the work at hand. He stood up and went to the sofa area to sit opposite Lao Yang. He took a sip of tea and asked, "What is your purpose for getting so close to the Li family? They have been acting unruly recently and have been jumping around quite a lot! You want to build a warehouse on the land in the west of the city! The surrounding environment is good, but it is not very safe. Do you want me to find you a warehouse guarded by troops?"

Old Yang shook his head and said, "I don't trust the people in the army and government agencies now. The enemy has infiltrated too deeply, and our own comrades have also begun to be corrupted. Now I dare not trust anyone except the older generation of revolutionary comrades! There is nothing around the factory area now, so it is more suitable for a secret warehouse. Let our special affairs department keep an eye on the periphery. Those who want to approach are those with a purpose! Find a few retired people from our special affairs department to live in the warehouse and watch, so that we can all rest assured. These people are tight-lipped and will not sell out national interests!"

Secretary Cui nodded in agreement and recommended: "Xu Weidong, who is from the same class as you, is more suitable. I will transfer him to your warehouse to guard it later. Bring a phone and a radio over there to ensure safety. The 10 cars you got are really good. They are better than our domestic ones, but they are not cheap and there is no channel to ship them to China! However, the domestic demand for cars is indeed very urgent. You should think of a way to get another batch. The money will be paid by the Ministry of Transport. Don't let them get into the habit of asking for it! Everyone's efforts have a price, and asking for things without a price will breed corruption!"

"I can ask someone to try. Uncle Cui, I promised Zhao Changkong from the Air Force and Li Polu from the Navy to provide me with retired air and naval instructors and soldiers. I will provide them with an advanced aircraft and an advanced destroyer. There shouldn't be any problem, right?" Old Yang told Secretary Cui about the conditions he had agreed to and asked for his opinion, and also to urge him to approve them. "

Secretary Cui replied with a smile: "What's appropriate or inappropriate about this? Let them work out the conditions you negotiated with them. As long as it's good for the country, you can do it boldly. We old bones will support you! I have already filed a case against you with Mr. Zhou. As long as you don't commit treason, no one can deal with you!"

After finishing his business, Director Cui began to criticize his personal style: "I reminded you last time to deal with your mess. But it's been a short time and you've brought Zhou Xiaobai and the girl surnamed Luo together. You think the trouble is not big enough! Don't think that others don't know about your secrets. The country is not only about our special affairs department, but other security agencies are also paying attention to you! Your affairs are transparent to the leaders above. You provoked the daughters of some big guys. When a big guy doesn't like you, they will all explode collectively. I don't think you dare to come back?"

Old Yang rubbed his hands awkwardly and said in defense, "I can't help it, I can't help it. I need Uncle Cui to help me. My small body can't handle it! I will leave as soon as the approval comes, and I will never come back! Hehe..."

Secretary Cui was also amused when he saw the playful Old Yang, and scolded him, "The approval document will be available in the next two days. The boss above has already agreed, and it only needs the signatures of the leaders below. Get out of here! I will let Zhang Qing inform you when there is news. I am so angry when I see you!"

Old Yang patted the bag on the coffee table and said, "Uncle Cui, these are all good things! Don't give them away casually. Take care of your health. I'm counting on you!"

Secretary Cui waved his hand and said, "I know, I know, you better get out of here!"

Lao Yang stood up and ran away!
