Siheyuan: Since 51

Chu Chen was beaming with joy. He walked to the table and put down an envelope. "My sister gave it to you."

"Sister Xiang?" Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but frowned, and asked Chu Chen to sit down and poured him a glass of water, "Director Chu, please sit down first."

He turned around, picked up the envelope, spread it open with two fingers, and looked inside. There seemed to be three stamps. Lin Zhiyuan was even more confused, "What is this?"

Chu Chen raised his lips and said with a smile: "This is the first edition of the Teacher Commemorative Stamps of 44, from my sister's collection. I heard that you admire the teacher very much, so she gave it to you to express her gratitude!"

"Sister Xiang's collection, how can I have the nerve to accept it?"

Having said that, Lin Zhiyuan closed the envelope and handed it back to Chu Chen.

"Don't refuse. This 44 edition is brand new and unused. It's rare. You should just accept it!"

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, you have enlightened the female comrade in the placement training center. Her work is getting smoother and smoother, and she has been praised a lot."

Lin Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, smiled, and no longer refused.

Instead, take out the stamps and admire them one by one.

There are no perforations, the patterns are the same, and they are all frontal portraits of teachers.

The right side and the upper and lower sides are decorated with wheat ears, and the lower right corner is the face value in Chinese characters in negative ink, blue is five cents, green is one cent, and dark brown is five cents.

There is no adhesive backing and the whole thing is not even as big as an inch photo.

The condition is very perfect, as if it had just been printed. I guess Chu Xiang has been taking good care of it.

Apart from anything else, just for the commemorative significance, Lin Zhiyuan liked it very much and smiled heartily, "Then I will accept it shamelessly."

Chu Chen shook his head slightly, "You, this is how it should be."

After chatting for a while, Chu Chen prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he turned back and smiled, "Your cousin is a good guy, tell him to cheer up."

Lin Zhiyuan was slightly startled, then he reacted and chuckled, "Okay, I'll tell him later."

After get off work, on the way home.

Wang Aimin said nothing, which Lin Zhiyuan could understand, but it was a little strange that Qin Huaiwu was in a bad mood.

Usually, the two brothers would chat and laugh as they walked.

Especially Qin Huaiwu, who was always chattering.

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help wondering, so he came forward and asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, why do you look like a frost-bitten eggplant?"

Qin Huaiwu smiled bitterly, "Brother-in-law, am I a little too fanciful?"

Lin Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Qin Huaiwu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "My interactions with Xiao Tingting are very strange. Often I am the one talking and she is listening quietly. When she speaks, I can only smile foolishly."

Two lives as a human being, one life as a single dog, and one life as a married man before falling in love.

Love, I know nothing!

Lin Zhiyuan curled his lips and asked, "She hates chatting with you?"

Qin Huaiwu scratched the back of his head and said, "Not really."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's not get married. If you don't mind, there's a chance. Maybe she just likes your silly energy."

Qin Huaiwu glared, "Brother-in-law, are you comforting me or scolding me?"

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm not trying to comfort you, nor am I scolding you. I'm just making a reasonable analysis."

Beside him, Wang Aimin pondered secretly and nodded in agreement, "Xiao Wu, Brother Zhiyuan is right, just relax!"

Qin Huaiwu hesitated for a long time, and finally a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes, "Okay!"

After talking about Qin Huaiwu, Lin Zhiyuan asked about Wang Aimin.

"Ai Min, what about you?"

"Me?" Wang Aimin pointed at himself, a little embarrassed, "It's just like that."

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "What?"

"That's right... According to my logic just now, Chu Xiaoying doesn't dislike me."

Wang Aimin lowered his voice and said, "But sometimes, I can't keep up with her thinking."

Lin Zhiyuan glanced back and forth at the two of them and said, "Okay, both of you, do your best."

Wang Aimin is okay in front of acquaintances, but a little dull in front of strangers. He can be considered a shy person, but he fell in love with the lively Chu Xiaoying.

Qin Huaiwu, a man of rough and stocky build who seems a little silly, has a special liking for the quiet and gentle Xiao Tingting.

All I can say is that fate is wonderful beyond words.

The entrance of the courtyard.

Luo Yuying's four brothers, Luo Yujiang, Luo Yuhe, Luo Yuhu and Luo Yuhai, four burly men, stood in a row, smoking.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't know him and was just wondering when Jia Dongxu hurried over behind him.

"Brother, why are you all here?"

The leading man was a sturdy man, about thirty years old, of medium height and large build. He probably had dark skin because he often did farm work. He was none other than Jia Dongxu's brother-in-law Luo Yujiang.

Luo Yujiang threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, stomped it out, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Jia Dongxu.

After a long while, he finally said, "Dongxu, I heard that Yuying gave birth. Let's go and take a look."

Jia Dongxu felt uneasy after being stared at. He gave a dry laugh and quickly extended his hand to signal, "Come on, let's go back and talk."

"No, I just came out of your house."

Luo Yujiang waved his hand and asked with a fake smile, "Yuying has just had the baby for two months, right?"

Jia Dongxu nodded and replied, "Yes, the baby was born at the end of March, and it's been a little over two months now."

"Yuying looks a lot thinner than when she got married!"

Luo Yujiang sighed, his voice suddenly rising, "For two months, your mother was lying at home, and Yuying was washing clothes in the yard? Can you tell me when she started working after giving birth?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu's face turned red, not sure whether he was scared or embarrassed.

Less than a month after Luo Yuying gave birth, Jia Zhang ordered her to work hard, and everyone in the courtyard saw it clearly.

Quibbling, meaningless.

To be honest, Jia Dongxu didn't dare.

Just when I was at a loss as to what to do, other people in the yard came over.

Yi Zhonghai saw that something was not right, so he walked over with a smile on his face.

"You are all Dongxu's uncle, right? I am his master Yi Zhonghai. Let's go back and talk about what we have to say."

Luo Yujiang snorted coldly and turned to look at Yi Zhonghai.

"They say Master is Master, he is both a master and a father. My Yuying was bullied, did you make a decision and administer justice?"

Yi Zhonghai's old face turned red. Jia Zhang was a reckless person, who would dare to provoke her?

After a moment's silence, he forced a smile and said, "Well, that's Yuying's filial piety, we all saw it!"

Luo Yujiang sneered, "So you bully my sister?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, don't worry, from now on, I will never let Yuying suffer any grievances."

As he spoke, he kept winking at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and hurriedly assured, "Brother, don't worry, I will tell my mother when I go back that I will definitely treat Yuying well in the future!"

After a long time, Luo Yujiang's eyes curved slightly, as if he was smiling.

"Okay, remember what you said. There's still a lot of work to do in the fields, and we have to hurry back. I'll come and visit you often in the future."

As he said this, he waved his hand, signaling his three younger brothers to leave.

Luo Yuhu, who was last in line, passed by Jia Dongxu and sneered, "Dongxu, if Yuying is wronged again, I will make her a widow and help him find another one!"

Looking at the backs of the four people, Jia Dongxu felt a chill on his back.

After a long time, he finally let out a long sigh, then rushed into the yard with a look of anger on his face.
