Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 5 Facing the Sea, Island Space

Liu Haizhong glanced at Wang Dabao, snorted coldly, and was the first to leave the mourning hall.

Yi Zhonghai also had a bad expression on his face. With a cold face, he and Sha Zhu supported the deaf old lady and walked behind her. After a while, they disappeared.

Time has come for dinner.

Wang Dabao asked several co-workers who came to help to go to a nearby mutton restaurant, but the group led by Uncle Zhang refused to go no matter what. Wang Dabao had no choice but to let them leave.

However, when several workers left, Wang Dabao still secretly stuffed a few dollars into Uncle Zhang's pocket to buy cigarettes for them.

It can be seen that these workers are truly sad about the departure of their uncle, and Wang Dabao doesn't want them to work in vain.

Although this was a task assigned by the factory, they did not just go through the motions, and Wang Dabao could see it clearly. Besides, they were unwilling to go to a mutton restaurant in order to save money, so why would they be reluctant to spend a few boxes of cigarettes?

You have to know that these days, those who can eat a few pieces of meat during the New Year are considered to be wealthy families.

After seeing off a few people, Wang Dabao went to the nearby place and bought some sesame cakes. He had to keep vigil at night, and he couldn't bear it without something substantial to fill his stomach.

Late at night, Wang Dabao slipped directly into the portable space.

Like most time travelers, he also has a system, and it is the simplest sign-in system.

However, his portable space is a little different from others. Others' are either a warehouse or a space, but his is an island.

The island is not big, about the size of a dozen basketball courts, but it has beautiful scenery, coconut trees and beaches, and most importantly, you can see living things like seagulls and crabs.

There is a log cabin farm on the island.

The system also considerately equips the roof of the cabin with solar photovoltaic panels.

There are only twenty chickens, ten sheep and five piglets on the farm. These were the rewards he received from the signing-in system this morning.

Entering the wooden house and lying on the soft big bed, Wang Dabao was thinking happily about when the system would reward him with items like mobile phones and wifi.

Uh...it seems that mobile WiFi is unusable in this era. There is no signal base station!

After taking a short nap, Wang Dabao got up and went to the warehouse behind the wooden house. The warehouse had an area of ​​200 square meters. The time inside was still, which was equivalent to a super-large space-time freezer, or in plain words, a refrigerator.

On the left is a row of shelves with white flour, rice, pork, chicken, fish, seasonings, cooking oil, and various canned meats, etc. On the right are hundreds of bags of various feeds, which are all rewards for the animals.

Of course, the system seemed to encourage the host to adapt to local customs and also rewarded him with corn flour, but unfortunately he used it all to feed the pigs.

In modern times, no one has ever eaten that stuff except the older generation who eats it to reminisce about the past. It's so spicy for the throat, why bother eating it and making yourself suffer?

He came into this world three days ago.

The first day's rewards included a portable island space and Bajiquan mastery.

The next day was a marrow cleansing fruit and fifty big black tens.

His injuries and hidden diseases left over from years of fighting were cured by this marrow cleansing fruit. It not only cured his diseases, but also strengthened his physical fitness.

The sign-in rewards this morning are these items in the warehouse, as well as the chickens, sheep, and piglets outside.

Chickens and sheep are easier to deal with, they can just roam freely on the farm, but what about pigs? They need people to feed them.

As a time traveler, he actually runs to the island to feed pigs all day long. If this gets out in the time traveler circle, people will laugh their teeth off. How can he still be a human being?

Thinking in his mind, Wang Dabao decisively went to the kitchen. There were complete kitchen utensils and modern electrical appliances in it. There was solar energy on the roof, so electricity was convenient. However, there was no grill for roasting suckling pig. It seemed that he had to give up roasting it and think of other ways.

Wang Dabao opened a can of beef, took a bite of the can and a piece of sesame cake, and filled his stomach.

Calculating the time, he left the portable island and returned to the mourning hall.

In the funeral home, apart from Wang Dabao who was keeping vigil, there was only an old man guarding the door. He was not afraid of scaring others by his sudden appearance.

Seeing that the incense was about to go out, Wang Dabao immediately stepped forward to light the incense, and then began to burn paper money for his uncle in the brazier.

After daybreak, several co-workers who had helped yesterday came again and took care of the funeral and burial of Uncle Wang Zhen.

It was almost noon when they finished their work. They wanted to go home for lunch, but Wang Dabao stopped them.

"All of you uncles were my uncle's co-workers and friends. As his nephew, I sincerely thank you for your help over the past two days, which allowed my uncle to complete his final journey with peace of mind. I know you don't care about my meal, but please give me a chance to thank you."

"And I had an extra income yesterday, as you all saw. One meal won't make my nephew poor."

This is Wang Dabao’s principle in life. If you are good to me, I should repay you, but if you are mean to me, I will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold.

Several people looked at each other, and finally, Uncle Zhang, who had the best relationship with Uncle Wang Zhen, made the final decision and said, "Then we will listen to Dabao, but we can't go to the mutton restaurant yesterday, there are so many of us..."

Before Uncle Zhang finished speaking, Wang Dabao waved his hand and shouted, "Okay, Uncle Zhang said to go to the mutton restaurant, so let's go to the mutton restaurant."

The group of people laughed loudly, but Uncle Zhang was very anxious. In the end, he could only sigh and was dragged by Wang Dabao to the mutton restaurant.

......

After dinner and saying goodbye to a few people, Wang Dabao went directly to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Bugui watering the flowers.

When watching the drama before, Wang Dabao had a good impression of Yan Bugui. He felt that it was understandable that Yan Bugui was a little calculating since he had to feed so many mouths at home by himself. After all, life was not easy these days.

But now he doesn't think so at all. Which family that can barely make ends meet has the time to grow so many flowers in front of their door?

Besides, with Yan Bugui's salary as a primary school teacher, plus going to Shichahai to fish from time to time to supplement his family's income, his family is not as poor as everyone sees. He is just used to calculating and has brainwashed himself.

Perhaps it was not until one day, when Yan Bugui took out his savings, that he realized that he was not really poor.

Then add another sigh: You will not be poor if you have enough food and clothes, but you will be poor if you fail to plan well.

Wang Dabao didn't want to bother with this old guy at all. The location of his uncle's house was marked on the title deed and he could just go there himself.

As a result, Yan Bugui turned around to water the flowers and caught a glimpse of a figure walking in. He bent down and squinted his eyes to see who it was. He was stunned and hurriedly came towards Wang Dabao with a small iron kettle in his hand.

"It's Old Wang's nephew who's back. Have you taken care of your uncle's funeral?"

Yan Bugui lowered his arm holding the iron kettle and sighed deeply, "I talked to your uncle with your third aunt yesterday. We both cried so hard. Originally, I wanted to see Lao Wang off this weekend."

"But I was afraid that I would cry and upset everyone, so I stayed at home the whole time, and only came out to water the flowers when I felt upset."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bugui blinked his eyes hard and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand.

Wang Dabao took a quick look and was shocked. Oh my god, has Yan Laoxi moved himself to tears?

Are you kidding me here?

Wang Dabao nodded coldly and continued walking into the courtyard.

Yan Bugui ignored Wang Dabao's expression of indifference, turned around, put the watering can on the windowsill, and took two quick steps to catch up. "I guess you don't know which house is your uncle's. Come on, I'll take you there."

"No need." Wang Dabao didn't stop.

Yan Bugui straightened his body and pushed his glasses, "Why are you so polite, kid? Besides, I'm the third uncle of this courtyard, and I should take good care of you, a new resident. Don't be polite to me."

Wang Dabao frowned, wondering if Yan Bugui was a "lowly" person.

The more you ignore him, the more enthusiastic he will be and the more he will rush to get close to you.

ill!

Oh, something is wrong. This is unusual. Could it be that this old guy is plotting against me?

Just as Wang Dabao was thinking about it, the two of them came to the backyard.

"The person living here is the projectionist of the steel mill. His name is Xu Damao. He doesn't look good, but he has a good heart. You will know when you meet him in the future."

Yan Bugui lowered his voice and said, "The person living in the east wing opposite is the second uncle of our compound, Liu Haizhong. I can't say much about him, but he is arrogant and likes to bully people."

Wang Dabao nodded and said, "You call this not making any comments?"

Yan Bugui continued to explain to Wang Dabao, pointing to the deaf old lady's house, "These two rooms are occupied by an old lady in the courtyard. There were three rooms before, and I sold one to your uncle.

"The old lady was a five-guarantee household. I heard that she gave a lot of straw sandals to our soldiers back then."

Wang Dabao sucked his teeth, "Did you send straw sandals to your soldiers? Where did you send them? Who saw it?"

"I don't know about this... I don't know about this, but everyone says so anyway." Yan Bugui frowned and thought, "The old lady couldn't walk far with her bound feet, so she should have been given it in the Forty-Nine City, right?!"

"Bullshit!"

Wang Dabao sneered, "When the city of Beijing was peacefully liberated, where did she send her straw sandals?"

"I am a soldier of the people. Our policy is not to take a single needle or thread from the masses. I won't take even a needle or thread. How could I take her straw sandals?"

"Besides, which soldier doesn't know how to make straw sandals and needs others to give them to him?!"

Yan Bugui was stunned by Wang Dabao's series of questions. After thinking carefully, he realized, damn, what Wang Zhen's nephew said was right. Only the old lady's deeds were spread in the compound, but no one had ever mentioned the details!

Without details, it would just be fabricated!

Yan Bugui looked at Wang Dabao in surprise. This young man is much smarter than Sha Zhu. He probably won't be able to trick him in the future!

"What are you doing?"

Yan Bugui was in a daze when he was frightened by Wang Dabao's shout. He looked in the direction Wang Dabao was looking and saw a child jumping out from the small patio behind Xu Damao's house.

"Awesome?"

Yan Bugui saw clearly that the child who was trying to run away by the corner of the wall was Jia Geng from the old Jia family in the middle courtyard. "Needless to say, this kid must be trying to steal something."

After Yan Bugui's reminder, when Wang Dabao looked at the child with the bowl-cut hair again, he immediately had an impression that he was the thief who would be caught if he made a move in Siheyuan.

Yan Bugui was right, Banggeng really came to steal things.

Last night he heard people in the compound discussing Wang Zhen's death.

But he was afraid and didn't dare to come at night. It was only when the sun was bright that he mustered up the courage to come. Anyway, the person was dead, so it would be a waste of time to steal.

After prying the window for a long time without success, he was getting anxious when he heard someone coming. He had no choice but to hide.

When he saw that the two men had discovered him, Bang Geng immediately realized that something was wrong and ran away.

It was obvious that this stupid kid came to rob his house. How could Wang Dabao let him get away so easily? He took two steps sideways and tripped the stick stem with one foot.

"puff!"

Banggeng ran very fast, but was tripped by Wang Dabao. His little body flew out immediately and fell directly to the ground.

After being stunned for a moment, he touched his face and found his hands were covered in blood. Then he felt something in his mouth and he spat it out and found it was a big front tooth.

With a cry, Banggeng cried heart-wrenchingly!

Wang Dabao twitched his lips and patted the stunned Yan Bugui.

"Master Yan, don't the kids in this yard look where they're going when they run?!"
