Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Lin Geng glanced to the side and saw Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang who were helping him clean the house. They were also looking at the tomato in Xiaoniu's hand with shining eyes, their saliva was about to flow out. So he thought for a while and walked back to the kitchen. Turning around, he took out a few small tomatoes and handed them to Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiecheng is not young anymore, he is about to graduate from high school and is one year younger than Lin. He used to look down on Lin Geng because Lin Geng was a bit cowardly. But since he saw Lin Geng killing everyone in the yard yesterday, even the bastard Sha Zhu was beaten by Lin Geng like a rolling gourd, unable to get up. So his attitude towards Lin Geng suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

In addition, Lin Geng gave their family three big fish last night. Their father Yan Bugui followed Lin Geng's request and stewed the biggest fish for them so that they had a good meal.

So today, when he was called by the third aunt to help Lin Geng clean the house, he and the second son Yan Jiefang didn't say a word, but ran over and started to help Lin Geng.

Moreover, their attitude towards Lin Geng also became very respectful. Their father Yan Bugui said that if they dared to treat Lin Geng as before, or offended Lin Geng, they would be starved for three days.

Now they treated Lin Geng with great respect, and took the initiative to change their way of addressing Lin Geng to "Brother Lin".

Seeing Lin Geng take out a few tomatoes and hand them to them, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang hurriedly thanked Lin Geng, took them with a smile, gave one to each of them, and gave the rest to the three aunts.

The three aunts were very surprised about where Lin Geng got these tomatoes. Although tomatoes were sold in the vegetable market or at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative when the weather was hot, they were very expensive and rare at other times. They were basically supplied to leading cadres. After all, it was still an era of material scarcity, and such vegetables and fruits were rare on the market.

More importantly, the weather has started to get colder, and tomatoes have long been sold out in the market. Now you can’t buy them even if you have money! But Lin Geng didn’t know where he got these tomatoes from, which was really rare.

So the third aunt smiled and said how embarrassing it was, while quickly stuffing the remaining two tomatoes into her pocket, waiting for Yan Bugui to come back and give them to him to taste.

Then the third aunt asked Lin Geng where he bought the tomatoes.

Of course Lin Geng couldn't tell her that these were produced in his small world farm. Now his small world farm was full of vitality. The various vegetables and grains planted before were basically ripe, including grain crops such as wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, and soybeans, and vegetables such as cabbage, cucumber, tomato, celery, coriander, beans and potatoes.

Now, since he has absorbed that inexplicable energy, he has absolute control over this small world. In this small world, he can almost be said to be a god-like existence. With just a thought, he can instantly accomplish what he wants to do. He no longer has to enter the small world as hard as before, wield various farm tools, sow, water, pick, weed, and harvest by himself.

As soon as he thought about it, the ripe things could be automatically harvested or picked and put into the space of the thatched hut. For example, wheat could even be turned into flour and bran directly in the small world, or it could be threshed and turned into wheat kernels for making wheat kernel porridge. In short, he could now control everything in the small world, and with just a thought he could make them become what he wanted.

Even the fish and shrimp in the big pond will appear in front of him as long as he thinks about it. He doesn't have to carry a fishing rod to fish and catch shrimp in the pond himself. He is like a god in his small world and is almost omnipotent.

He tried this before going to bed last night, and was so happy. Finally, he didn't have to do all the hard work by himself and could do farm work in his little world.

This small world has now completely become a space farm for him, a non-immortal cultivator. He can finally plant crops in the medicinal fields in the small world.

Although we have now survived the most difficult three years and domestic grain production has initially recovered, under the planned economy, it was only a preliminary restoration of food supply, which was enough to prevent people from starving to death. Many families could only eat half full, let alone eat well.

With this farm, Lin Geng will not have to worry about not having fresh vegetables or not having enough to eat for a long time to come. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear eating cabbage, radish, pickles and cornmeal all year round.

After hearing the aunt ask him where he bought the tomatoes, Lin Geng lied to her and said that he went out to buy things yesterday and saw a rural old man on the road with a basket of tomatoes. He asked the price and bought a few to try.

The third aunt did not suspect anything, so she happily put the two small tomatoes into her pocket, thinking that Xiao Lin was not a stingy person after all. As long as they were nice to him, he would not be stingy at all. He was willing to give such good things to them to try. In the future, if there was any problem with the Lin family, they would run quickly to help. This was much better than always blocking the door and trying to take advantage of him.

Soon Aunt Liu followed Xiao Niu who had run home to the central courtyard and began to help Lin Geng take apart and wash his bedding and cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Yesterday Lin Geng gave her two fish, and she stewed one for the children. The family had a delicious meal as they finally got to taste meat, which moved Aunt Liu very much.

So when she saw Xiao Niu running home chewing a tomato and telling her that Lin Geng was taking apart and washing bedding and tidying up the house, Aunt Liu quickly put down the matchbox in her hand and ran over to help.

Several people worked together and soon they had taken apart all the bedding that Lin Geng had brought back from the Jia family. Third Aunt and Aunt Liu wanted to help Lin Geng wash the quilt covers and mattress covers.

Lin Geng said no, he didn't want these quilt covers and mattress covers anymore, and he would buy some cotton cloth and replace them with new ones. The reason was obvious to everyone! He was disgusted by the things that the Jia family had used.

The third aunt and Aunt Liu originally wanted to persuade Lin Geng, saying that the quilt cover and mattress cover could still be used after washing. But they changed their minds and realized that Lin Geng had extorted a large sum of money from the Jia, Yi and Liu families, and was definitely the richest man in the courtyard. It was not a big deal to get a new quilt cover and mattress cover.

So they stopped persuading Lin Geng, and he generously took out the quilt covers and mattress covers, as well as some clothes and shoes that were too small for him, and gave them directly to the third aunt and Aunt Liu, asking them to wash them and see if their children could wear them.

Lin Geng didn't care about these things that had been used by the Jia family. They didn't care. As long as they were washed, they could continue to be used or worn. It didn't matter if they were a little old or patched. After all, this could save them a lot of money and cloth coupons.

So they thanked Lin profusely and told him not to worry about anything else and just go and do it if there was anything else.

Lin Geng knew that with their help, they could also help him look after the house and clean up, so he didn't act pretentiously. He just said thank you and went out, heading straight for the supply and marketing cooperative.
