Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

Courtyard at No. 95 Tongluo Hutong.

Before Lin Changqing reached the door, he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard. He didn't look like a guard, but rather like he was waiting for someone, looking around.

This is Yan Bugui when he was young. Lin Changqing quickly thought of this person’s identity, Yan Laokou in the TV series, the future Third Uncle.

Before Lin Changqing and Xiao Zhao reached the door, Yan Bugui came to greet them. He noticed Director Zhao and Lin Changqing from a distance.

However, he is not a person who is so tactless as to ask people shamelessly.

Now that he saw the two were walking towards Courtyard No. 95, he stepped forward with a smile and greeted them:

"Secretary Zhao, you are here!"

Then he looked at Lin Changqing again, "Secretary Zhao, is this the new resident? I happen to be free, so I can help with the luggage."

After saying that, he reached out to take the suitcase from Secretary Zhao. He had noticed that Lin Changqing was wearing new clothes and had a plump face, and he didn't look like someone who had ever been hungry.

He knew immediately that Lin Changqing must be from a wealthy family. If he came up to help, he would have the opportunity to get in touch with Lin Changqing in advance and establish a good relationship with him.

In this way, if he gets a little support in the future, he will be able to calculate a lot of things.

What kind of schemes could a young man have? After getting to know Lin Changqing, he would be able to get a lot from him.

"It's Teacher Yan! No need!"

Officer Zhao quickly waved his hand to refuse, "This luggage is not heavy. By the way, this is Lin Changqing, the son of Lin Fuxing, not a new resident."

"Comrade Changqing, this is the resident of the front yard of the quadrangle, Yan Bugui, who is an elementary school teacher. I will bring you here. Your home address is in the middle yard, you can go in with Teacher Yan. I will not disturb you from reuniting with your family."

After saying that, Secretary Zhao returned the suitcase to Lin Changqing. On the way, Secretary Zhao briefly told Lin Changqing the basic situation of the Siheyuan. Although it had been liberated not long ago, Secretary Zhao still had some understanding of the situation of the Siheyuan.

Previously, he and Director Wang had resolved the dispute between the Lin and Jia families, and he also told Lin Changqing about this matter.

Although Lin Changqing knew the situation of the Siheyuan, he still listened very attentively, which left a good impression on Director Zhao, so he gave Lin Changqing these instructions at the end.

"Secretary Zhao, why don't you come to my house for a drink?" Lin Changqing glanced at his watch. "It's almost six in the afternoon. It's time to get off work, so I won't disturb you at work."

"No, you finally came back and your family is reunited. I won't disturb you."

Officer Zhao evaded the question by saying, “If you have any problems in the future, come to the Military Control Commission and find us.”

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Zhao." Seeing Secretary Zhao refuse, Lin Changqing didn't want to invite him again. He knew that the Military Control Commission had strict discipline. If he insisted on inviting Secretary Zhao, it would not only damage their relationship, but also spread some rumors that were unfavorable to Secretary Zhao.

After Secretary Zhao left, Lin Changqing turned around and looked at Yan Bugui seriously.

At this time, Yan Bugui was staring at Lin Changqing in a daze. He was attracted by the watch on Lin Changqing's hand.

He knew about watches. None of the people he met wore a watch, but this time he finally saw one.

This further strengthened his belief that Lin Changqing must have made a lot of money, otherwise he would not be able to afford a watch.

Even his principal didn't wear a watch.

While Yan Bugui was in a daze, Lin Changqing had also finished observing Yan Bugui.

The current Yan Bugui is a dozen years younger than in the TV series and does not look as vicissitudes of life, but his calculating mind was revealed early on.

Yan Bugui's attention was on Lin Changqing's watch, and he also noticed this.

Thinking about himself and his family who would be living here in the future, Lin Changqing did not point it out.

At present, Yan Bugui is not the manager of the Siheyuan, so he dare not plot against people openly. At most, he can just fool Xiaobai who lives there.

Lin Changqing knew Yan Bugui's character and would naturally not be tricked by him.

Thinking that he was about to face his parents, Lin Changqing did not stay any longer, smiled faintly, and said:

"Hello, Teacher Yan!"

Then, carrying his luggage and packages, he walked straight into the gate of the courtyard.

"Hello..." Before Yan Bugui could continue speaking, he saw Lin Changqing had passed him and stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

He immediately followed and trotted to catch up with Lin Changqing.

"Comrade Lin, Comrade Lin, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Lin Changqing stopped, pretending not to know what Yan Bugui was thinking, and turned to look at him straight, "Is there anything else?"

Being looked at like this by Lin Changqing, he suddenly felt a little scared, but he still said:

"Comrade Lin, it's like this. You are the son of Lin Fuxing of our Siheyuan. Now that you are back today, you are also considered a member of our Siheyuan."

"Our courtyard in Tongluo Hutong is well-known for its solidarity and friendship. If there is any problem among neighbors, they will help each other."

"You must be very tired after coming back with so much luggage. I'll help you carry some of it. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other."

After saying that, he stretched out his rough right hand and wanted to take the package from Lin Changqing's left hand.

He could already smell the fragrance coming from the package in his left hand.

That was the smell of roast duck, he could not be mistaken.

It must be Quanjude Roast Duck, a century-old brand. He was fortunate enough to have eaten it once, and he could never forget the taste after that.

In the months since liberation, the city has finally regained peace and Quanjude has opened. Although he didn't have money to eat roast duck, he went to Quanjude several times just to smell the aroma of the roast duck.

So, he definitely wouldn't smell it wrong this time.

I helped Lin Changqing carry the package, and it accidentally fell to the ground, revealing the roast duck. Looking at Lin Changqing's expression, he would definitely not eat something on the ground, so the roast duck was his, right?

Thinking of this, the light in Yan Bugui's eyes became even brighter.

I didn't expect that I was so smart and could come up with this good idea so quickly.

At that time, I would keep apologizing, and someone as young as Lin Changqing would definitely not be able to withstand my humble apologies.

A roast duck only costs a dozen yuan, and a simple apology is enough.

I am worthy of being a teacher. Those peasants in the courtyard can never catch up with my intelligence even if they flatter me.

You can’t finish a roast duck in one night. Just eat half of it and save the rest for tomorrow.

Also, don’t throw away the bones. You can chop them up and make soup, so you can save meat for this month!

Thinking that he would be able to eat the famous roast duck in the evening, Yan Bugui couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

But Lin Changqing's next words directly shattered Yan Bugui's fantasy.
