Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Yan Jiefang had just come back from outside and saw his father standing there like a fool. He went over to ask curiously,

"Ah! Look at you, why don't you try harder? Look at Xiao Zhang, there's no comparison!"

Yan Fugui, to be honest, admires Zhang Xiaoyan a little. She is a good doctor and a good person. Now she can buy a house without relying on her parents or anyone else. She is really a capable girl.

As he was thinking, he heard the voice of his eldest son. He felt a strong sense of disappointment when he saw his eldest son. He muttered something to himself and went back to his room without caring whether his son heard him or not. Yan Jiefang was confused.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? What did Xiao Zhang show you just now?"

As the weather warmed up, the heavy door curtains had long been taken down. Now almost every household had their doors open, so the third aunt naturally saw what happened to her husband just now.

"Xiao Zhang is a capable girl! Guess what I saw just now? You can't guess. It was the note that Xiao Zhang went to the street office to get approved to renovate the house."

Yan Fugui didn't keep the secret, he took a sip of the water from the teacup and said slowly,

"What do you think it is? The factory gave her the house, but she won't live here after she gets married. What's the point of decorating the house? Isn't this just wasting money?"

When the third aunt heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, without stopping sewing.

"I just asked, they have already bought the house, and they didn't have enough money so they borrowed from the factory. Besides, don't you see that they used cars to pick them up and drop them off? Would they be short of money? Even if they don't have money, they can just ask and borrow some money from others to make up for it. Those two houses are now Xiao Zhang's family."

Yan Fugui smacked his lips while talking, and Yan Jiefang who followed in naturally heard it. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious, but he was unemployed now, let alone buying a house, he couldn't even afford to rent one.

"Oh, by the way, I saw yesterday that the He family is probably going to have a wedding, and it's time for our eldest son to look for someone else. Besides, we still have to pay attention. Otherwise, you can go and ask Liu the matchmaker tomorrow."

Although the third aunt was a little envious, she had to live her own life and there was no point in being envious, so she changed the topic to her son.

"Isn't free love advocated now? Why do you need an introduction? Going after a girl yourself is much more prestigious than going on a blind date. Once you're settled, wouldn't it be better if we asked a matchmaker to come over?"

Yan Fugui had already made a plan. In fact, he felt sorry for the money the matchmaker had to pay. If his son could find a partner on his own, even if he had to hire a matchmaker, the price would be lower.

"Dad, don't you see that I don't even have a job now? You let me find a date on my own. Do you think I'm from a wealthy family and there are so many people chasing after me? Can't you spend some money to hire a matchmaker to find a wife for me?"

Yan Jiefang said unhappily that he was grown up too and wanted a wife.

"What do you know? 'If you can't afford to eat and wear, you will be poor, but if you can't plan well, you will be poor'. I have taught you since you were young... Where are you running to, you little bastard?"

When Yan Jiefang heard what his father said, he was speechless. Afraid that his parents would nag him again, he turned around and ran out. After all, he could recite the following words by heart even if he didn't listen.

...

As soon as Zhang Xiaoyan walked into the middle courtyard, she saw Mrs. Jia sitting at the door making slippers. Of course, there were some other aunts sitting in the yard chatting. Of course, they all had work to do, either making slippers, mending clothes, or washing clothes by the sink.

"Yanzi, you just came back. Have you eaten yet? If you haven't, come to your uncle's house for a meal. I'm just stewing soup."

Zhang Xiaoyan was about to go to the backyard when He Daqing came out of the house with a kitchen basin in his hand. He greeted Zhang Xiaoyan from a distance when he saw her.

"Well, don't bother Uncle He. I'll just go home and heat up the food later. I went to the street office to do some work."

"Oh, what's the matter? You're going to the street office. If you need help, just tell me. Our Zhuzi is fine anyway. He's useless except for his strength."

He Daqing poured the water used to wash the meat directly into the ditch under the laundry sink, and belittled his son in his daily routine.

"Uncle He, you're too polite. I'm planning to renovate the house, so I went to get some approval. I also went to find a few craftsmen to get some materials for the renovation."

"You want to renovate the house? What's there to renovate in this house?"

He Daqing suddenly heard the word "decoration" and was a little slow to react.

"I want to paint the walls white! That way the room will look brighter. I also want to change some other things. It's quite troublesome anyway. By the way, do you want to renovate your house? Isn't Zhuzi getting married? Do you want to build a partition? I see that the floor of your main room is quite high. Do you want to build a small attic directly?"

This way your house will become a two-story building, and you will have an extra place to live."

Zhang Xiaoyan just mentioned it casually, but unexpectedly He Daqing remembered it and started to think about the feasibility of this matter.

"Hey, that does make sense! I'll have to think about this carefully."

"Then you think about it carefully. I'm going back first."

After Zhang Xiaoyan finished speaking, she walked towards the backyard. He Daqing kept her words in mind and started thinking about them. Neither of them paid attention to the group of people in the yard.

Mrs. Jia smelled the increasingly strong aroma of stewed meat in the air, and when she heard Zhang Xiaoyan's words, she rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart.

"What did Xiao Zhang say just now?"

"Are you deaf? You can't hear what they say so loudly. Xiao Zhang said that he wants to renovate his house. What is renovation?"

"Didn't you hear that we were going to paint the walls white?"

"Look at your country bumpkins. You don't even know what renovation is? Let me tell you, renovation is repair. You don't even know that."

"Okay, we are all country bumpkins, but you are smart. Isn't it just repairs? I thought it was something else."

"It costs a lot of money to renovate the house! I didn't expect this Xiao Zhang is quite rich."

"You don't know this! I heard that Xiao Zhang has this much in a month."

The person who spoke made a gesture, and the others looked at that person's hand in surprise, somewhat unconvinced.

"Impossible? Is the salary of a doctor so high?"

"You're underestimating me. My niece's wife's aunt said that if they were doctors in the central hospital, especially those directors, their salaries would be much higher. They are considered low in our factory."

Several aunts were talking at once, and Mrs. Jia, who had the sharpest ears, heard everything clearly. She was a little eager to go over and chat with those people, but what did she think of? After a long time, there was still no movement. She just looked towards the backyard thoughtfully, and her eyes were rolling, and no one knew what she was thinking.
