Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

During this renovation activity, there was only a young man who occasionally assisted in the yard, and none of the uncles who were usually in charge of the affairs showed up. The heavy physical labor was all dependent on Ye Yongshun's worker friends, and the rest was entirely dependent on Cao Xishun who helped with miscellaneous tasks.

This situation rarely happens, which surprised Cao Xishun a little.

If a neighbor in the courtyard is getting married, almost everyone will come out to help. The atmosphere of life in the courtyard is rich, warm and harmonious.

This was the first time for the Ye family to experience such trivial matters in a courtyard house.

Thanks to Ye Yongshun as the factory's loading and unloading team leader and Ye Chuan's own ability, the difficulties between neighbors were effectively resolved and avoided becoming problems.

The neighbors nearby saw it all clearly as Ye Chuan saw Cao Xishun off and handed him two packs of "Da Qianmen" cigarettes.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and stared at the two boxes of Daqianmen when he saw this scene. As a level 7 master craftsman, Yi Zhonghai couldn't even afford this kind of cigarettes. How could Ye Chuan, a scrap recycling vendor, be satisfied with this? He couldn't help but wonder if the problem behind Ye Chuan was true.

Yi Zhonghai, who also acts cautiously, will not interfere easily and must find clear evidence.

At this moment, Ma Jianshe rubbed his eyes and walked out of the yard. He was a little surprised to see Ye Chuan standing guard in the yard. "Brother Ye, you are back!"

Ye Chuan nodded and said, "Did you just get up?"

"Well, I got back around 4 or 5 in the morning, and wanted to come over to see if there was anything I could help with."

Patting Ma Jianshe on the shoulder, Ye Chuan said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

He had learned about this from his father. If Ma Jianshe didn't have anything important to do, he would often come to help him. He was the only neighbor in the entire courtyard who had helped Ye Jiaju. "It's not hard at all!" Ma Jian said with a smile. After staying for a while, he regarded Ye Chuan as his idol.

Not to mention himself, even Xia Zhongyuan, Liu Jun and others had admiration and appreciation on their faces when they mentioned Ye Chuan.

Ye Chuan looked Ma Jian up and down. He didn't expect that this guy had become much stronger after a period of time. "Well, not bad, a little plumper than before." Ma Jian laughed and said, "Brother Zhongyuan and Brother Jun often give me some meat, so now my belly has a layer of fat."

Ye Chuan nodded, and glanced at the bag of apples that Tong Yao brought from her home. He picked up five and handed them to Ma Jian, "Take them back to your brothers and sisters!"

"Thank you, Brother Ye!" Ma Jian took the apple without hesitation, which made the people around him envious, because except for Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao's family, there was almost no fresh fruit in their yard. Ye Chuan was generous and gave them five apples at once.

Some of the onlookers regretted not coming to help earlier. They originally thought they would just have cigarettes and food, but they didn't expect there would be fruit as well.

Cao Xishun’s current work is too delicate and no one can help much, so Ye Chuan stayed in the yard in the afternoon to assist Ma Jian.

Liu Yue bought a lot of vegetables and cut a large piece of meat, planning to make dumplings for everyone to eat together in the evening.

The Ye family's current size has been revealed. In Ye Chuan's eyes, it is simply decorated and nothing elegant. However, it is luxurious enough for the neighbors.

What was even more enviable was that the Ye family’s dinner turned out to be dumplings stuffed with white cabbage and pork. Even Ma Jian, who had been standing by and chatting with Ye Chuan the entire afternoon, enjoyed this blessing.

Qin Huairu cooked by herself, and Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu did not help take care of the children at all, which made Jia Zhang complain constantly while watching Liu Yue rolling dumplings in front of the door.

Yan Bugui felt even more regretful. If he had known there would be such a generous reward, he would have gone to help out himself.

Not only can you have a full meal of dumplings, but you may also be able to share an apple.

It was past eight o'clock when Cao Xishun returned from work. Ye Chuan gave two apples to his parents and put the rest in his arms.

Although he tried his best to refuse, Cao Xishun finally accepted Ye Chuan's gifts under his insistence - not only cigarettes and apples, but also hot dumplings.

These made Cao Xishun grateful but also a little embarrassed.

Ye Chuan and Ma Jian left together. To his surprise, Fat Han was not in the office.

After they chatted for a while, Ye Chuan returned to the business point around ten o'clock.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Fat Han who was waiting for him in the guard room.

Ye Chuan covered his face helplessly, thinking to himself, is this kid forgetful or what? He doesn’t even know how loud his snoring is?

The next day, he worked in a busy office with dark circles under his eyes.

After lunch, I quickly locked the door and took a nap for an hour before I felt a little refreshed.

In the afternoon, Ye Chuan was in high spirits and took out the gold ring and a small piece of gold he had obtained from the system space.

Possessing advanced carving skills, he held the material tightly in his hand, with a sketch already in his mind: how to design, carve the texture, and what the finished product would look like.

The office is fully equipped with tools, including a smelting torch to soften the gold and a small hammer to strike it.

Advanced techniques are like those of a martial arts master, who can create satisfying works of art using only the most basic equipment.

When he first started operating, he found that what he faced was not easy, but he had advanced skills and quickly adapted to the flexibility of gold.

Ye Chuan planned to make two rings: one was his simple ring, and the other was a patterned one exclusive to Yaoyao.

Making a plain ring is relatively simple. You just need to design it according to the shape of your hand and polish it until it is smooth and round. It is not difficult.

The difficulty lies in the other patterned model. Ye Chuan hopes to carve a bunch of roses on it, which means that each petal needs to be finely carved.

After get off work, Fatty Han mistakenly thought that he was busy in the office and did not come to disturb him.

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the exquisite golden rose was finally completed.

He used a high-temperature spray gun to fuse the rose with the base circle, and every step had to be rigorous and meticulous.

Without the assistance of superb carving skills, I might have given up long ago, and the slightest mistake would have made all the previous work go to waste.

After working hard until 11 o'clock in the morning, the pair of wedding rings were finally completed.

From conception, carving to final polishing, it took more than ten hours.

Finally, he picked out the smallest carving knife and engraved the words "Jiu" and "Yao" on the inside of his own ring, and at the same time engraved the word "Chuan" on the inner circle of Yaoyao's ring.

Ye Chuan also personally carved the initials of their surnames on the inside of the ring: "TY" and "YT".

I stretched my body, looked down at the watch, and couldn't help but exclaimed - it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

After rushing to the bathroom for a quick wash, he remembered that he had not eaten yet. However, he could no longer find a place for midnight snack, so he could only wait for breakfast the next morning with an empty stomach.

When I returned to the lounge, Fatty Han was lying on the bed snoring loudly. There were a pair of steamed buns and a plate of pickles on the dining table.

When the day came to transfer the property certificate, Ye Chuan did not invite Qi Mazi to join him, but walked into Mr. Tian's old house alone with Fatty Han.

The fewer people who know about this, the better. After all, the next ten years will be turbulent, and ensuring the safety of your family is of vital importance.

The property transfer process was not as complicated as expected. It only required notarization and filing, and everything seemed easy.

In just thirty minutes, the two-courtyard courtyard changed hands and became Ye Chuan's property.

After leaving the administration, he wanted to pay the remaining balance immediately, but Mr. Tian said, "Comrade Ye, please give me 800 yuan first, and we will pay the remaining balance in front of his son later."

Ye Chuan already knew something about Tian Li through Qi Mazi, so he nodded and took out 800 yuan and handed it to Mr. Tian.

Mr. Tian put 800 yuan deep into his pocket and said with a wry smile: "Don't be embarrassed, my son, ah, it's so sad to talk about it..."

After saying that, Grandpa Tian opened up and started to talk about all the faults of his son.

Perhaps taking this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction, he recalled his son's absurdity and lack of progress over the years: he was idle, addicted to gambling, and when his wife died, he didn't even have her last home-cooked meal.

Ye Chuan comforted him, "Mr. Tian, ​​maybe things will get better if you return to the countryside to live."

"Oh, I hope so! The 800 yuan I left behind is for my retreat!"

Hearing this, Ye Chuan nodded deeply, understanding the feeling from the same perspective.

The three of them returned to the old house, and Tian Li's nonchalant expression immediately disappeared. He seemed very happy to see the father and son return, as if he had seen a treasure appear.

Fatty Han went to the toilet to take care of some personal business, while Ye Chuan accompanied Grandpa Tian to the front hall. "Dad, did you bring the money back?" Tian Li asked impatiently.

Old Man Tian seemed a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.

However, Tian Li didn't care at all. He lay on the big mahogany chair, one leg dangling leisurely, looking up and down at Ye Chuan who came in with his father. "You want to buy my house? Listen, one thousand dollars is too little. You should add two hundred, otherwise I won't move out!"

Ye Chuan smiled, he understood that this guy was trying to take advantage of his tolerance and wanted to get some extra tips.

No wonder the old man had secretly hidden the 800 yuan before. With such a good-for-nothing son, he naturally had to be more careful. "Everything you have here now belongs to me, so don't mess up my chair!" Hearing this, Tian Li was stunned, with a cynical smile on his face. He put down his crossed legs, walked up to Ye Chuan and said, "Boy, repeat your promise? I changed my mind, you have to increase it to 500 yuan, otherwise I will teach you a lesson!"

Rushing forward to comfort his son, Old Man Tian said, "Xiao Li, how can you talk to a customer like that? Hurry up and pack your things and catch the train this afternoon." But Tian Li suddenly shook his father off, pointed his index finger at Ye Chuan's chest, and said arrogantly, "Did you hear me? Don't underestimate my decision! I have a wide network of contacts. Have you heard of Qi Mazi? That's my brother! Even if I'm not around, he'll still cause trouble every now and then. Be smart and give me the money right away."

Ye Chuan smiled softly, grabbed his wrist and applied a little force, and then Tian Li let out a scream.

Tian Li felt like he was being held in a vice, the pain was unbearable. "Let go, it hurts so much!"

I thought that this gentle and honest looking man in front of me was actually so powerful.
