Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Yan Bugui stood in the front yard for a long time. He couldn't understand why Liu Guozheng refused without thinking when he obviously had the ability to help him. The office could recruit people from the neighboring yard and had recruited two people in a row, so why didn't they recruit people from their own yard?

He had heard that Zhang Qingfang now worked in the canteen of the New Hope Food Factory, and her two children went to school there, with free food and drink, as well as free schooling. Why did such good things happen to other people's families?

The salesperson in the current office is still from the hospital next door. It is said that when Huang Qiuxia's husband broke his leg and was hospitalized, Liu Guozheng directly paid him three months' salary in advance. It is said that Liu Guozheng and Lou Xiao'e went to the hospital to visit him that day and brought a lot of gifts.

The more I think about it, the more sad I feel.

People just sit at home and blessings come from heaven.

When I came to Yan Bugui, I begged for a job again and again, but he still refused.

Yan Bugui didn’t understand what was wrong with his family or the people in Yard 95?

"Ugh!"

All the reluctance turned into a long sigh.

Yan Bugui moved a stool, put on thick clothes, and sat under the corridor, closing his eyes to rest.

Although he said he was resting his eyes, his ears were actually standing up.

After a long time, just when Yan Bugui was about to fall asleep, he heard hurried footsteps.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Yi Zhonghai. He came back empty-handed.

Yan Bugui squinted his eyes and looked at it, but ignored it.

Ever since he paid Yi Zhonghai three hundred yuan the day before yesterday, the two of them would not say a word even if they met face to face. The two families have now completely severed their relations.

The reason for the severance of relations between the two families was that Yan Bugui paid compensation on the first day, and Yi Zhonghai's wife was discharged from the hospital on the second day.

The two families had another quarrel over this.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's anxious and hurried face, Yan Bugui felt much better.

As long as his "enemy" is not comfortable, Yan Bugui will be comfortable.

Especially since Yi Zhonghai is now their family’s biggest “enemy”, the “enemy” who cheated him out of three hundred dollars.

I hummed a tune unconsciously.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned even worse. He glanced at Yan Bugui and walked into the central courtyard without saying a word.

"dong dong dong"

Yi Zhonghai did not return to his own home, but knocked on Sha Zhu's door anxiously.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock again or I'll break your hands."

Last night, Sha Zhu could be said to have not slept the whole night. Qin Huairu and Sai Yuhuan had been fighting in his mind all night, and he had no desire to sleep at all. It was not until the early morning when he could no longer bear it and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Sha Zhu didn't know what time it was now. He felt like someone came to disturb him just as he fell asleep.

"Silly Zhu, do you know what time it is? Are you still sleeping?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to knock anymore. He knew if he really annoyed Sha Zhu, he would get beaten. Sha Zhu was stunned and didn't care about anything.

"Uncle, you are crazy for not sleeping so late at night."

"Silly Zhu, you are crazy. What do you mean late at night? It's already 11 o'clock in the morning. No one is cooking in the third canteen. The canteen director said that if the food in the third canteen is not ready before 12 o'clock, you will not be able to work in the canteen anymore. You should stay in the foundry for the rest of your life."

Yi Zhonghai was really anxious. Whether Sha Zhu could work in the canteen directly determined the quality of his life after retirement. He didn't want to be unable to have a hot meal when he was old. That was not the result he wanted to see.

"Uncle, stop joking."

Sha Zhu didn't believe it. He remembered that he had just fallen asleep. How could it suddenly be eleven o'clock?

"Shazhu, you idiot, am I the kind of person who likes to joke around?"

Yi Zhonghai was so anxious outside the door that he was pacing around. If Sha Zhu delayed another ten or twenty minutes, his trip would be in vain.

"I'll get up right now."

Then there was the rustling sound of someone getting dressed.

With a creak, the door opened and Shazhu came out yawning. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sun. Wow, it was true. The sun was just a little bit south of due south.

"Silly Zhu, what did you do last night? How could you sleep till now?"

"Alas, I can't sleep alone. I can't sleep."

Shazhu used a word that he knew little about.

"What's up, Silly Zhu? Are you anxious? Do you want to get married?"

"Uncle, you are talking nonsense. I am almost thirty years old. How can I not be anxious?"

Sha Zhu went back to the house, took the toothbrush, walked to the faucet and started washing.

"When you have time, let your aunt take care of you and see which family has a suitable girl."

"Haha, Uncle Yi, what you said is true. If I rely on Aunt Yi, I will definitely not be able to find a wife in this life."

"Silly, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? The uncle and aunt don't go out all day long. Where can they find a wife for me? Is this a dream?"

"What am I supposed to be? It's okay. I'll just tell your aunt."

"Master, thank you very much. A matchmaker has already started looking for a partner for me."

Ever since He Yushui offered a high price, there have been quite a few stupid people recently, but there is no suitable one.

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know which matchmaker who had nothing to do was so stupid as to want to matchmake Sha Zhu. She was really out of her mind.

There are so many matchmakers in Nanluoguxiang, who doesn’t know Shazhu’s reputation?

Anyone who can think of matchmaking for Sha Zhu must have something wrong with his brain. If it were someone else, who knows how many couples would have been formed with this effort.

"Silly Zhu, this is probably someone your aunt is looking for."

No matter who it is, just take the credit first.

"Really?"

"How can this be false? Think about it, besides me and your aunt, who else would care about you so much?"

Yi Zhonghai said this without blushing or being nervous. Anyway, Sha Zhu would not really go to the matchmaker to verify who asked her to be a matchmaker. What Sha Zhu cared about was whether there was someone to be a matchmaker. As for who asked them to be a matchmaker, that really didn't matter.

"Yeah, that's what I said. Auntie is always nice to me. I'll bring back two delicious dishes tonight. Shall we have a drink together?"

"Silly Zhu, your aunt and I helped you, but we didn't expect to get anything from you. It was because you were alone and there was no one at home to help you get married. Your aunt couldn't bear to see you stay single, so she dragged her sick body to find a matchmaker."

"Uncle, I know who treats me well. I have seen clearly that the only people who really treat me well in this courtyard are you two, except for the old lady who has passed away."

"Alas, what a pity! If the old lady were still here, she would have arranged your marriage long ago. Silly Zhu also blames me and your aunt. I have always been plagued by bad luck, and your aunt is plagued by illness. She really can't spare the time. I feel guilty."

"Uncle, you can't be blamed at all. If you want to blame someone, blame Liu Guozheng. If it weren't for him, the old lady wouldn't have passed away so early."

"Shazhu, this is something we can just talk about between the two of us. Don't say it in front of others. If it gets to Liu Guozheng's ears, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, Liu Guozheng is not someone you can easily mess with."

"Uncle, would I be afraid of him, Liu Guozheng?"

Sha Zhu wiped his face, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Humph, you old man, you are so shameless."

The sudden sound scared Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

When they saw that it was Lou Xiao'e who was speaking, their faces turned red. What had happened was that everyone had heard them talking about someone else's husband behind his back.
