Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Xu Changping was not angry when he saw these people's actions. He just turned around and asked Yi Zhonghai softly:

"When will the East Cross Courtyard be cleaned up?"

"You live in the East Cross Courtyard by yourself, why should we help you clean it up?"

Before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, Jia Dongxu, who was watching the fun nearby, was the first to stop and jumped up and said.

“Isn’t the East Cross Courtyard a Siheyuan?”

Xu Changping ignored Jia Dongxu who was shouting beside him, and spoke to Yi Zhonghai in a calm tone.

"Of course, of course we belong to it. We are all part of the Siheyuan."

Yi Zhonghai finally came back to his senses and quickly laughed and said.

Oh no, I forgot to clear the snow in the east wing. This is going to be a bad ending.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was thinking of a solution, he heard Xu Changping ask again:

"So when will we clean up the east wing? After we clean up the front yard?"

"How about this, since you weren't here to clear the snow today, the East Cross Courtyard will be your responsibility."

Seeing that Xu Changping was so persistent, Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and said.

"Then should I still participate in the snow clearing here?"

Xu Changping gestured with the broom in his hand and said.

"No need. From now on you will be responsible for cleaning the East Courtyard." Yi Zhonghai said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Seeing this, Xu Changping stopped pestering him. Without even looking at other people, he turned around and left with his broom.

When passing by Xu Damao, he secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Xu Changping smiled at him, made a drinking gesture, and then entered the central courtyard.

Walking to the moon gate in the east wing, Xu Changping quickly used the big broom in his hand to sweep out a path leading to the door.

Xu Changping's current physical fitness has reached 20.5. A broom that ordinary people find difficult to swing is like a child's toy to him.

It's not that he couldn't help the people in the yard clear the snow, but he just couldn't stand Yi Zhonghai's smug look, so he said that on purpose.

After entering the house, looking at the somewhat empty living room, Xu Changping suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind, Xu Changping took out all the medicinal materials needed to make the plaster from the space. Many of the medicinal materials were prepared by Xu Changping at the pharmacy during the lunch break.

He had taken care of all the preliminary preparations when he had nothing to do, and now all he had to do was put it in the pot and boil it.

After putting the medicinal materials into a special pot for boiling medicine, Xu Changping took out the unfinished stone from the space and sat at the table to carve it seriously.

This is a kind of stone produced in the system mall, specially used for practicing carving. It can simulate the feel of various jade stones according to the parameters set in advance.

Looking at the walnut gradually taking shape in his hand, Xu Changping's eyes were filled with a sense of accomplishment. Although his craftsmanship was not very good, this was his first successful work after all.

Hearing the dull gurgling sound coming from the medicine pot, Xu Changping put down the walnuts and bought some.

Picking up the spatula beside him and stirring it, Xu Changping felt that it was not yet cooked enough, so he turned down the heat and sat aside to admire the walnuts in his hand.

After playing for a while, Xu Changping took a look at the pot and found that the ointment, which had been a little yellow just now, had turned dark brown, so he turned off the fire.

He took out some finished plaster cloths from the space and applied the plaster on them while they were still hot. After applying one, he placed it on the table next to him to dry.

After finishing a pot of ointment, it was already past midnight. He washed his face casually, took off his clothes that were stained with the smell of medicine and changed into new ones, then lay back in the quilt on the kang and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when Xu Changping opened the door, he saw that the path he had cleared last night was covered with snow again.

Could it be that this heavy snow has been falling all night?

Picking up the broom in front of the door, Xu Changping casually waved it on the ground a few times. Seeing that the path from last night reappeared, he pushed his bicycle out of the east courtyard with satisfaction.

Seeing the middle courtyard that had been cleared and the front yard that had not been cleared, Xu Changping did not stop and went straight out of the courtyard.

It seemed that He Yuzhu had cleaned the middle yard in the morning, but the front yard was still covered with snow as no one cared.

Riding his bicycle all the way to the steel mill, Xu Changping just entered the office when he saw Chief Niu walk in and said to him:

"Xiao Xu, when they are all here, you organize them to clear the road from the infirmary to the factory area."

"Okay." Xu Changping nodded in agreement.

The snow clearing task, like in later generations, was contracted to each department.

When all four doctors from the infirmary arrived, Xu Changping glanced at Fan Pingping and Zhou Fangfang and said:

"You two will be on duty in the infirmary, in case a patient comes and there's no one in the infirmary."

Although Xu Changping did not mention anyone by name, everyone in the room knew who he was talking about. No one objected, and they all put on their coats, picked up their brooms, and walked out of the infirmary under the leadership of Xu Changping.

"Director Xu, let's start sweeping from wherever we want this year!"

Looking at the white snow outside, Xiao Gang asked lazily while holding the broom.

Who would have known? His mother dragged him outside to sweep the snow before he even woke up in the morning. He had to sweep the snow at home and at work. I really don’t know why God made it snow. Was it because God saw that he was too idle?

"This road from the infirmary to the factory area belongs to us." Xu Changping pointed in the direction of the factory area and said.

"That's okay, it's not far. Let's divide it into four sections!" Xiao Gang said, looking at the distance.

"No need. You guys sweep from the factory area towards the infirmary. I'll start from this side." Xu Changping said, pointing at the ground.

He swept too fast, and there were many people in the factory, and he didn't want to be the focus.

"Ah, let me sweep with you from this side." Han Weiguo glanced at Xu Changping and said.

"No need, go ahead." Xu Changping's words were concise and to the point, and he sent the three people away with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, Han Weiguo had no choice but to follow Xiao Gang and An Cheng to the other side.

Xu Changping saw that there was no one around to disturb him, so he weighed the broom in his hand and started sweeping.

"Let's sweep quickly so that we can meet Director Xu earlier." When they arrived at the designated location, Han Weiguo said to the two people.

"No problem, I'm a professional sweeper since I was a child." Xiao Gang said, patting his chest.

An Cheng didn't say anything, but started sweeping.

"Stop chattering and get back to work." Han Weiguo saw Xiao Gang still posing, so he kicked him lightly in the butt and said.

After a while, Xiao Gang stopped brooming and prepared to straighten his back, and saw that Xu Changping was not far away from them.

Looking back at the distance the three of them had just swept, he pulled Han Weiguo, who was sweeping the snow beside him, in surprise and said stutteringly:

"Han, Old Han, look, Director Xu."

"What's wrong?" Han Weiguo raised his head quickly after hearing Xiao Gang's words, and saw Xu Changping's hands moving quickly. The seemingly light move brought up a large cloud of snow.

"Is Director Xu so powerful?" Han Weiguo was also not calm. Xu Changping's movements looked like those of a martial arts master.

"This must be the legendary Sweeping Monk!" Xiao Gang suddenly thought of a martial arts novel he had read. Xu Changping's performance was just like the hidden master described in the novel.

"I don't know if it's the Sweeping Monk, but Director Xu is almost sweeping over here." An Cheng's voice rang in their ears.

Xiao Gang and Han Weiguo finally came to their senses and quickly started sweeping with brooms.
