Siheyuan: Since 51

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

After organizing his words secretly, Lin Zhiyuan spoke slowly.

"Huai Ru, once the cross-courtyard is cleaned up, we'll move over. This courtyard is noisy and restless every day. The cross-courtyard is close, so you can come over anytime if you want to visit."

Qin Huairu's eyes were gentle and she nodded, "Okay, you decide."

"Then it's settled!"

Lin Zhiyuan put his arm around Qin Huairu.

"It's too late before the New Year, let's do it after the New Year! By then, we will live in the three main houses across the courtyard, and the two west wing rooms will be for Zhihao and Xiaoyu respectively. The current east wing room will be left to Zhihui!

Silent all night.

The next day, Lin Zhiyuan came to the National University.

Red bricks and green tiles, unique style.

Students can be seen everywhere holding books, and they never forget to read even when walking.

Very pure, simple, and passionate.

After class, Lin Zhiyuan brought his homework to Zhu Dexi's office.

"Teacher Zhu, I'm sorry, I had something to do at the factory yesterday and didn't come to school."

Then, he handed over the homework respectfully, "Please review it."

Zhu Dexi was only 31 years old. He was fair-skinned and quite handsome.

He grew up in a wealthy family and had the opportunity to study everywhere. He was also very hardworking, which is why he was able to become a lecturer at such a young age.

With a slight smile, Zhu Dexi took the homework and said gently, "It's okay. Business is more important."

Zhu Dexi paid close attention to Lin Zhiyuan, not just because he was working and going to school at the same time.

At a seminar a few days ago, the first draft of "The First Batch of Simplified Chinese Characters" has been finalized. Among them, the simplified forms of many characters are consistent with Lin Zhiyuan's typos.

"Go and do your work!"

Zhu Dexi said this casually and then looked down.

After just one glance, my eyes widened slightly, and I couldn't help but say: "Good, don't forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind. Just looking at the title, it's a classic."

As soon as he retreated to the door, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh. How could such a good saying not be good? How could it not be classic?

Just as I was about to close the door, Zhu Dexi's voice rang out.

"Xiao Lin, wait a moment."

Lin Zhiyuan was startled, then returned to his desk and asked, "Teacher Zhu, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhu Dexi gestured with his hand, "Please sit down first. I'll talk to you after I finish reading it."

Sitting down as he was told, Lin Zhiyuan's mind was active as he watched Zhu Dexi read and annotate.

What's that expression, Teacher Zhu?

Sometimes he smiles, sometimes he frowns. Is there something wrong with the writing?

The office was completely silent. Apart from the rustling sound of Zhu Dexi writing, there was nothing else.

It was unknown how long it had been, but when Lin Zhiyuan became so bored that he fell asleep, Zhu Dexi finally raised his head.

"Xiao Lin, it's very well written. I noticed that you quoted quite a few words from your teachers. Do you admire them very much?"

Lin Zhiyuan perked up, "Of course."

"Hahaha, worship is a good thing. Some of the quotations seem awkward. I re-copied it and annotated it. You can take it back and take a look at it again."

"Okay! Teacher Zhu, if everything is ok, I'll leave now!"

Lin Zhiyuan didn't think much about it, picked up the manuscript, saw Zhu Dexi nod, and left the room directly.

After leaving the school, Lin Zhiyuan smiled and muttered to himself, "I'm already an adult, but I didn't expect that I would be happy to go back to school because the teacher didn't assign homework."

As evening approached, Lin Zhiyuan walked back to the courtyard in the afterglow.

People who had been working had already gotten off work and were gathering in the front yard to play chess.

Lin Zhiyuan came forward cheerfully, but was actually rejected.

He didn't get angry. He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.

He went straight home, took out his erhu, sat at the door, and started practicing in a pretend manner.

Yesterday I was sawing wood, and today I made a little progress, at least the tone is there.

The clanging sounds filled the ears, and the surrounding military advisors were less willing to offer advice.

As soon as the military advisor shuts up, the fun of playing chess is lost by half.

Finally, Yan Bugui couldn't help but said helplessly: "Zhiyuan, can you take a break? Otherwise, come over and play a few games."

Lin Zhiyuan had no choice. He couldn't just announce that he was an erhu master, right?

There must be a process from a beginner to an expert, maybe a month or two, right?

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Teacher Yan, you are a teacher, don't you know that learning requires more practice?"

Yi Zhonghai rubbed his forehead, speechless. He couldn't concentrate on playing chess.

After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea. With a smile on his face, he suggested, "Zhiyuan, how about this? If you play chess without cheating and beat me and Lao Yan, we won't stop you from playing the erhu next time. If we win, you can take a break, okay?"

Lin Zhiyuan curled his lips. Do you really think I can't beat you guys at chess? In his previous life, he didn't have many hobbies, chess was one of them. Not to mention reaching the level of a professional player, the old man in the community was bullied all the time.

However, he did not agree directly, pretending to hesitate and said: "No, aren't you bullying me?"

Yan Bugui also urged, "No way, we are of similar level, just sign a gentleman's agreement."

"Zhiyuan, we are supervising, it's a gentleman's agreement."

"Yes, even compared to them."

……

Others are echoing.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Lin Zhiyuan immediately stood up and said, "Okay, no more pretending. I'm going to show my cards. I really am the Lin Chess King!"

Yi Zhonghai grinned, "Yes, yes, you are the King of Lin Qi. Come on, let me play the first game."

Set up the chess pieces and start the battle.

In less than 20 rounds, Yi Zhonghai was defeated, and he kept muttering, "This shouldn't be the case. You were so conflicted in every step you took."

Lin Zhiyuan said proudly: "Nonsense, I have always been strong, okay?"

Yan Bugui watched the whole game and was a little confused. He always felt that Lin Zhiyuan always made mistakes when he encountered key moves.

"Old Yi, get out of the way and watch me!"

Arrange the dish again.

Lin Zhiyuan was ruthless and took every step carefully. He was about to win, but he didn't expect Yan Bugui to put the old coach in his pocket.

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, "Teacher Yan, you...you are going too far, aren't you?"

Yan Bugui chuckled, "What's wrong with that? You taught me this!"

Niang Xipi!

Boomerang, right?

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and stood up, "I'm going to play the erhu."

Yan Bugui, who was so proud just now, was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said depressedly: "What a sin!"

Lin Zhiyuan didn't go too far and turned towards the small courtyard with his erhu.

"I won't torture you anymore. I'm going to cross the courtyard."

When he arrived at the cross-courtyard, Lin Zhiyuan did not play the erhu directly, but looked at it carefully.

The yard was littered with broken bricks and tiles and overgrown with weeds.

There were several rooms with their doors and windows half-open, which was creepy to look at.

He came to the door of the main house and pushed it hard, and the door fell down, raising a cloud of dust.

He covered his nose with his hand, took two steps back, and waited for a moment before Lin Zhiyuan walked in.

The room was spacious. So damn spacious.

There was not a single piece of furniture, and there were even man-made mines.

Carefully avoiding several dangerous places, Lin Zhiyuan turned into the inner room.
