Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

Although he had limited emotional communication with his original family members, he had borrowed their bodies after all and should try his best to fulfill some responsibilities.

According to the original body's memory, Mr. Chen is actually the pride of the martyrs' descendants.

His grandfather moved to this old city with his family as he followed the army. Unfortunately, he died due to a relapse of his old illness, leaving only his father Chen Dahai to properly arrange a job.

The whereabouts of his uncle Chen Bo and second uncle are unknown. In Chen Shengsheng's memory, family members rarely talked about the whereabouts of this brother.

Chen Dahai's father was the financial director of a department store, and his mother Li Huifang worked in a weaving factory. She got this job thanks to his connections.

The eldest brother Chen Yi also entered the department store with the help of his family background.

My eldest sister-in-law is unemployed and is usually busy with housework and taking care of her three-year-old son.

Although she could have found or purchased a job for herself with her father's resources, she was not sent out to work because of the family's practical needs.

In the original body's memory, his sister-in-law always gave him firm support, whether it was helping him find a job or buy a house.

In this era, people still have to stay at work on New Year's Eve, but they can usually leave work early in the afternoon.

Most of them are busy preparing for the family reunion dinner in the evening.

The first three days of the Lunar New Year are holidays, and people return to work on the fourth day.

For Chen Shengsheng, there is no need to go to work on the first day of the first lunar month, but he can take days off on the second and third days.

However, after the New Year, the boss asked the children to take over the shift, and during the Spring Festival, Chen Shengsheng was specially reminded that he might have an extra day's work as a reward.

The streets were quite quiet at this moment, with the sporadic sound of firecrackers contrasting with the empty streets.

Mr. Chen carefully selected a fat and delicious fish in the alien space and took it home by bus, back to his loved ones' home.

The crowded buses were filled with people like Chen Shengsheng who got off work early. Even though New Year's Eve was not a national holiday, they generally chose to go home early, which did not cause much questioning.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Sheng called out to his grandmother as he had done in his original memory: "Grandma, I'm back."

He noticed that there was a vehicle in the area where bicycles were usually parked, and he was not sure who had parked it there.

Grandma was concentrating on washing vegetables in the yard. When she saw him, she immediately came over with a smile on her face: "Oh, my dear grandson is finally back. Why did you remember him only now?"

Facing the familiar yet slightly strange gentle face of his grandmother, Chen Sheng shook his head and apologized with a smile: "Grandma, don't be upset, I'm very busy with work over there.

Look, I brought you this big fish, so you can enjoy a delicious meal tonight."

Carrying the fish into the yard, he shook the fish in his hand proudly and said proudly: "My dear grandson, catching such a big fish is a piece of cake!"

At this time, hearing their voices, the eldest brother walked out of the house and saw the huge fish that Chen Sheng was holding on to.

He commented excitedly: "Of course, it took a lot of effort to catch this fish."

"Here, give it to me, I'll take care of it, and we can cook together when mom and the others come back later."

The eldest brother Chen Yi took the fish from Chen Sheng and skillfully put it in the basin to wash it.

"I'm relying on your ready-made meal today."

Chen Sheng was lying lazily on the rattan chair in the yard.

"You look forward to it every day."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the courtyard door. He looked up and saw his mother coming in carrying a lot of bags.

"Mom, you're back."

Mr. Chen quickly stood up to greet her and took the items from his mother's hand.

"Is your father home yet?"

Mother Chen asked as she watched Chen Yi cleaning the fish.

"not yet."

Chen Yi responded while busy.

"I told him to go home early, and I also ordered some pork belly for him to pick up."

After parking the bicycle, Chen's mother talked as she walked.

"Do you want me to go?"

Mr. Chen moved and planned to help.

“Forget it, your dad might have to make another trip.

Wait until he comes back to get it."

Looking at the busy grandmother and son, Chen's mother then asked, "How are you preparing the dishes?"

"After Ah Sheng brought such a big fish, the only thing missing is your pork belly. Everything else is basically ready."

Chen Yi said as he carefully scraped off the fish scales.

"It's all ready. I even made the dumpling filling. Come and see."

Grandma sat on a low wooden stool, gently stirring the dumpling stuffing with her fingers, a smile on her face.

"Hey, my favorite, pork and cabbage stuffing!"

Mr. Chen clapped and cheered excitedly.

"All I know is eating."

Chen Yi and his mother complained in unison, causing laughter in the yard.

"I mean it! I know I'm stingy, but I thought about it and brought you something special."

Chen Sheng took out a bag from his bag and continued, "These are the good lamb chops that my classmates helped me buy. Stewing lamb in winter is really heart-warming."

In fact, Mr. Chen just passed by yesterday and brought it back.

Such a small favor done by Ma San was not worth mentioning at all in an organization like his, because he gave Ma San so many fish and Ma San could make a lot of profit from it.

"The boy has grown up. He has learned to be filial to his parents so quickly."

After Chen Yi finished cleaning the last fish, he wiped his hands, walked over and patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder.

"Don't underestimate me. I have always been very filial."

After hearing the praise from his mother and grandmother, Chen was surprised at what a dandy young man his original body was. But now it seems that as long as everyone feels that he has grown up and understands that money is hard to come by, then everything makes sense.

Everyone laughed again.

After spending the holiday together with his family, Mr. Chen kowtowed to his grandmother and parents on the morning of New Year's Day and then returned to the courtyard.

Uncle Sanye had previously informed them that there would be a group activity at the first day of the new year gathering, and had specifically asked Mr. Chen to participate.

After weighing the pros and cons, although Mr. Chen did not want to have too much contact with these people, for the newcomers in the courtyard, not participating might cause them to plot some malicious schemes against him behind his back.

In the end, he chose to return and decided to attend the meeting even if he had to keep a low profile.

After coming back, he saw the children having fun in the yard, and the children in the outer yard were even holding small firecrackers.

In the home of the richest uncle in the courtyard, his eldest son is about to graduate from college. The remaining two children are more like objects for Uncle Liu Haizhong to vent his anger. Wanting them to spend money to buy toys? It is simply wishful thinking.

Among the remaining courtyards, only the third uncle has children.

Uncle Sanye is a man who has to calculate every penny carefully.

Therefore, the children in the big compound can only play with the children in other compounds. Perhaps with the passage of time, when the thief completes his university studies, this situation will change.

Chen Sheng became a new member of the courtyard. When he walked in, he saw everyone chatting in small groups.

The third uncle was directing the children playing in the front yard.

Boss Yi Zhonghai led his apprentice Jia Dongxu, while Aunt Jia and the deaf old lady Jia Zhang were sitting next to them.

For some reason, Qin Huairu, this special woman, would always squat by the sink and wash herself every time I saw her.

On the other side, the second uncle Liu Haizhong was swinging a belt, and Liu Guangtian was chasing him. Although he was being beaten, he kept shouting and scolding Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, what are you laughing at?"

It seems that in the living environment at that time, people had enough to eat. It is estimated that in a few years, the chasing action in the bangs will be powerless, and by then they may not even be able to guarantee their own lives.

"Well said, grandson, you can continue to be proud of yourself."

When Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao being insulted, he was so excited that he kept clapping and cheering.

In He Yuzhu's heart, Xu Damao is like a sandbag to him.

However, Sha Zhu said disdainfully: "Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu, I'm just a cook. Your happiness has nothing to do with me. I have the dignity of a projectionist in Beijing."

He didn't think that he was inferior to Xu Damao, after all, his status was there.

At this time, He Yushui was already in middle school. Her thin appearance might be due to her family's poverty or her congenital frailty.

Whenever she saw her brother being beaten, He Yushui would fight back: "Sister Yushui, there's no need to scold me. Just watch me beat him up."

Sha Zhu knew that he couldn't win the argument with words, so he resorted to covert means to deal with him.

Mr. Chen observed that everyone in the yard showed unusual joy at Xu Damao being beaten, and he couldn't help but suspect that there must be a reason behind it.

It could be that Xu Damao's father had done something in the past that disgusted everyone, or it could be that Xu Damao himself had done something wrong that angered everyone.

Without hesitation, Sha Zhu unleashed his special move - a hard kick aimed at the target's crotch - his specialty, the "ball-bursting kick"

This attack was really unambiguous. It was almost impossible for Xu Damao to have offspring.

Mr. Chen guessed that the problem of Xu Damao and Louzi being unable to have children in the play was probably because of his own physical problem, otherwise how could he have given birth to a child for Sha Zhu.

This question puzzled him as to why Xu Damao, who had always been successful, would end up in such a situation.

After the truth became clear, Sha Zhu often taught others a lesson by kicking them in the balls. It was difficult for ordinary people to withstand this kind of torture, which made the victims feel particularly painful.

Xu Damao was like a tortured lobster, curled up, unable to get up due to the pain, and fell to the ground.

Even if one does not have a high opinion of Xu Damao himself, Sha Zhu's behavior is indeed cunning and insidious.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Chen came up with a solution.

He quietly left the yard, found a child on the street outside who did not belong to his yard, gave him a candy as a reward, and asked the child to run to the police station to report, falsely claiming that a vicious case had occurred at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang and the injured was on the verge of death.

After finishing all this, he quietly returned to the backyard.

Anyway, he was sitting in the back row of the crowd, and everyone's attention was focused on the central courtyard, so few people paid attention to him.

When Chen Sheng returned to the yard, he found that Sha Zhu was still torturing Xu Damao, and the people around him were watching coldly as if they were watching a show. Chen Sheng was afraid that people's hearts were too cruel, so he sighed in his heart. It seemed that this was all the help he could do.

Before people had enough fun, they saw the third master Yan Fugui rushing from the front yard to the middle yard with a nervous look on his face, followed closely by two men wearing wide-brimmed hats.

Seeing this scene, the two of them hurriedly shouted: "Stop, everyone stop!"

One of the guys wearing a wide-brimmed hat grabbed Sha Zhu, while the other one immediately went to check on Xu Damao's condition.

Fortunately, although the injuries were serious, they were not life-threatening.

This series of events shocked everyone in the yard - a violent incident actually occurred in the yard and alarmed the law enforcement authorities!

Yi Zhonghai became nervous when he saw this.

Sha Zhu is one of his possible supports for the rest of his life. If his son Jia Dongxu turns out to be a bad person in the future, he has to have a backup plan - Sha Zhu.

At the same time, in this era, the importance of reputation is unquestionable.

The reason why Mr. Chen was arranged to live in this compound was because of its good reputation and the fact that it was rated as a model residential area. Mr. and Mrs. Chen and their eldest brother and sister-in-law used their connections to get him here.

After checking Xu Damao's condition, the older official in the wide-brimmed hat loudly asked Yi Zhonghai, "Where is the master who manages affairs here?"

Obviously, Yi Zhonghai was a little at a loss in such a situation.

"Hey, here! Here!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward to respond, hiding his inner panic.

The other party accused him unceremoniously: "A butler like you, sitting back and watching a fight? Do you still want to provide snacks for people to watch the live show?"

The tone is harsh.

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to argue: "Comrade, I..."

However, the official interrupted him and said, "Okay, no need to explain. We already know what happened. There is no legitimate reason to hit someone!"

Then he ordered, "Take this abuser away! Arrange for the person who was beaten to see a doctor immediately!"

He pointed out sternly, "Dean No. 95 was an excellent role model last year! How could such a New Year farce happen?"

Faced with the middle-aged official's unquestionable tone, before Yi Zhonghai had time to say anything, the young Liu Haiyang eagerly promised to carry out the order. This move made Chen Sheng laugh: this young man's desire to perform is really too strong.

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to fight for it: "Official, Zhuzi is a good young man, please let us handle it. After all, this is a matter of considering retirement."

"What right do you have to intervene? As a housekeeper, you just sit there and watch your neighbors fight?" The official in the wide-brimmed hat didn't give him any way out. "Look, they've been beaten up like this? We're just waiting for the official decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came and took Sha Zhu away.

Liu Haiyang was very happy at this time. He performed well in front of the officials. He felt so prestigious! Then he began to guide the crowd and found a few people to take Xu Damao to the hospital using the flatbed truck in the yard.

After the matter was over, there was no longer any excitement of the reunion party and everyone gradually dispersed.

Yi Zhonghai anxiously pulled the deaf old lady back into the house, and the two seemed to be discussing something in private.

When Liu Haiyang returned with the children, Director Wang and other staff from the street office followed closely behind.

“You all go back, and leave a few officers to understand the situation.

Director Wang commanded, and everyone left.

When he saw Chen Sheng, he smiled and said, "Chen Sheng.

"

Unexpectedly, he met Director Wang here, so Chen Sheng quickly greeted him: "Hello, Director Wang.

' He said politely, thanking her.

"I don't have any tea leaves prepared, so please bear with it and make do with a pot of hot water. It's quite cold outside.

"Director Wang stated his meaning directly," Your father knows everything about you, so we arranged for you to stay here.

"

“Uncle Wang, I actually didn’t know about this. My father didn’t tell me about this before, which is a bit embarrassing, but I’m really grateful.

In that era, the street offices had considerable influence. Although they did not give people too many benefits, they had many ways to regulate things.

"Mr. Chen continued the topic, knowing that a good relationship with them is crucial.

“It probably wasn’t intentional, maybe your dad forgot.

Director Wang comforted him.

"What happened here? Why is it so noisy that even the officials came? Tell me first.

Director Wang asked seriously. His keen sense told him that there must be something wrong, but he had no intention of delving into it. He just talked for a few words and then left.

As night fell, the results of the handling were still not out and the old men's troubles had not yet been resolved.

According to the notice of the subdistrict office, the three senior managers of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang were unanimously dismissed! From now on, any problems in the compound can be reported directly to the subdistrict office.

Not only did they lose the election to the "Civilized Compound"

An officer who was close to Mr. Chen's age came to read out the resolution, which brought an unexpected blow to everyone.

When they heard the decision, except for Mr. Chen, the eldest brother Yi Zhonghai and the second brother Liu Haiyang were so shocked that they almost fainted.

Early in the morning on the second day of the Spring Festival, Mr. Chen arrived at the store half an hour earlier than usual. He usually arrives around 7:50 in the morning.

Due to the store’s notice before the New Year, he might be the only one on duty on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

However, when he approached, he saw two people chatting in front of the store: one was about fifty years old and looked amiable; the other was slightly younger, about thirty years old, with a strange expression, which startled Chen Sheng.
