Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

Coming to the middle courtyard, this courtyard is twice as large as the front courtyard, and has more houses than the front courtyard. There are three main rooms, two side rooms on the east side, one side room and a corridor on the west side, leading to the backyard. There are three rooms and two side rooms in the east and west wing rooms respectively.

There were 8 families living in the central courtyard. He Yuzhu, also known as Shazhu, lived in the main house, one family lived in the west wing, and one family lived in the two east wing rooms.

Two rooms in the east wing belong to the Yi family, the side room next to it is occupied by He Yuzhu's sister He Yushui, and another family also lives in the other wing and side room.

The Jia family lives in the middle of the west wing, and two families live in the room and the ear room on both sides.

Next to He Yushui's ear room, there is a small moon-shaped door, which leads to Yi Ping'an's courtyard. The door is now locked.

After Yi Ping'an looked at the layout of the central courtyard, he saw that the corridors of the entire courtyard were full of people, making him feel like an animal in a zoo. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and was not afraid of being seen.

Following Yi Zhonghai's footsteps, they arrived at the door of their home. At this time, Yang Cuiyun also came to the father and son. She was obviously a little nervous, and her hands unconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes.

"Ping'an, this is your Aunt Yang." Yi Zhonghai introduced a little uncomfortably.

"Auntie Yang, hello!" Yi Ping'an bowed to Yang Cuiyun and called out.

"Hey! Hey! Hello to you too." Yang Cuiyun's tone was a little excited. She called Yi Ping'an into the house. She also saw those people watching the fun on the corridor.

Yi Zhonghai also asked Yi Ping'an to hurry into the house, and he carried Yi Ping'an's luggage, but Yi Ping'an was not afraid of being seen. Maybe Yi Ping'an knew himself better than they did.

I helped Yi Zhonghai take down his luggage and sent it to the cleaned-up room next door. I also saw the room I was going to live in. It had a 1.2-meter single bed, a desk, a chair, and an old-fashioned wardrobe, and nothing else.

Yang Cuiyun was afraid that Yi Ping'an would dislike her, so she quickly said, "Ping'an, as for furniture, I don't know what kind you like, so I didn't dare to buy it. Look, tell me what you like, and I'll ask the carpenter to make it for you tomorrow." There was some anxiety in her eyes.

Yi Pingan didn't think it was a big deal. He wasn't someone who couldn't endure hardship. In his previous life, they lived in makeshift houses on the construction site, some of which were worse than this. When he first came here in this life, his family was also penniless.

Yi Ping'an said with a smile: "That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Yang. There's no rush for furniture. When you have a day off, go to the trust store and have a look. It'll be fine as long as it's usable."

Then he handed the cloth bag in his hand to Yang Cuiyun, "Aunt Yang, here are canned meats, take them, and add some food to your family."

Yang Cuiyun had made cloth bags before, but she disagreed with what Yi Pingan had just said, "You can't trust a store. How can they let you use old ones? It's better to ask the carpenter to make new ones. They will be more comfortable to use."

Yi Pingan said calmly: That's not necessarily true, there are good things there. But he couldn't say it, so he looked at his father, meaning: You can do it!

Yi Zhonghai nodded: I understand!

"Cuiyun, just do as Ping'an said." Then she looked outside and whispered, "The factory has given the cross-yard next door to Ping'an. When he finishes cleaning it up, he can make new furniture. It will be just the right time for us to move into the new house, so there's no need to rush."

Yang Cuiyun heard this and thought, does this mean that she will not leave in the future? That's great. However, she also glanced outside and didn't say anything.

This yard is full of people who hate others and laugh at others. If we let them know, it will definitely cause more trouble. Let's clean up and move to the new house first.

Knowing the reason, Yang Cuiyun no longer insisted and said to Yi Ping'an with a smile: "Ping'an, if you need anything, just tell me. I'm not at work, so I have plenty of time."

"Okay, I'll definitely trouble you." Yi Ping'an also replied with a smile, "Please don't think I'm annoying when the time comes."

Yi Ping'an is not a hedgehog, so there is no need to fight to the death. Isn't it good to live in peace? Why do you have to live in chaos?

Yang Cuiyun also understood what Yi Ping'an meant, and suddenly felt like crying, but she held it back. She couldn't cry. She should be happy that the child was willing to be close to her.

He immediately said: "No, no, I wish you would bother me every day, so that I won't be bored."

While they were talking, they had almost finished cleaning up, and the three of them left the room. Yang Cuiyun went to the kitchen, and today she specially called Sha Zhu to be the chef.

Yi Zhonghai took Yi Ping'an to the yard with the candies and melon seeds he bought today, to get to know the neighbors and invite the elderly to come to his house for dinner.

I started from the front yard and went to each house one by one. I gave each family two pieces of candy and a handful of melon seeds. No one thought it was too little since it was free after all.

The main reason is that the sugar production is not high now. Ordinary people only buy some during the Chinese New Year. No one buys it at other times. The main reason is that they are poor.

When he arrived at the Jia family, Yi Ping'an thought that Jia Zhang would make a scene. After all, many fan fictions are written like this. Unexpectedly, Yi Ping'an was disappointed. Jia Zhang did not make a scene. She even greeted him with a smile. Yi Ping'an was so confused that he thought he had come to the wrong place.

Fanfiction misled me!

And Jia Zhang is quite good at talking. Listen to her.

"Old Yi, this is your son. He looks exactly like me. I can tell it's your son right away. He's such a handsome guy. I don't know which girl has chosen him."

"It's safe. If you need help with anything in the future, just look for your brother Dongxu. He has strength."

"Oh, you're still asking me to have dinner. Old Yi, you're so polite. Okay, if you think highly of me, I'll definitely take care of it. You're so polite."

Actually, if you think about it, a widow who had gone through war was able to raise her son. This shows that she is not a stupid person, because there are no stupid people around.

He also met Qin Huairu. To be honest, Yi Ping'an felt that she was just so-so. It made sense when he thought about it. In this era, when people were hungry and cold, and had no cosmetics to maintain their appearance, how good-looking could they be? They were just slightly better than others.

Yi Zhonghai invited Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu to dinner. One of them was an old man and the other was his apprentice.

He had indeed valued Jia Dongxu very much before and had indeed put a lot of effort into him. Now Jia Dongxu has been converted to a regular employee and will be a junior fitter in the future. His current salary is 32 yuan, which is enough to support his family.

His father also said to Yi Ping'an: "Ping'an, you have seen this, my apprentice Jia Dongxu, you can call him Brother Dongxu or Senior Brother."

He did meet Jia Dongxu in the workshop today, but he was too busy and didn't talk to him. He just dealt with the technicians.

Yi Pingan didn't think it was a big deal. Jia Dongxu was 9 years older than him and was his father's apprentice, so it was right to call him Senior Brother. But Jia Dongxu couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said, "Just call him Brother Dongxu. Don't call him Senior Brother. It's embarrassing for Pingan. Just call him Brother Dongxu!"

Jia Dongxu was about to cry: "Master, what are you thinking? Letting an engineer call a junior worker "senior brother"? Are you sure you are not making fun of me?"

Yi Ping'an also laughed and said, "Okay," and then he called out "Brother Dongxu."

They also went to the homes of the Liu and Xu families and the deaf old lady in the backyard. They were all very polite and invited Xu Fugui, Liu Haizhong and the deaf old lady to come over for dinner.

The layout of the backyard is also three main rooms, two side rooms on each side, three east wing rooms, and three west wing rooms.

There are 7 households living here. The main house is occupied by the big boss deaf old lady in the fan fiction. The two side rooms on the left and right are occupied by one household.

Liu Haizhong lived in two rooms in the east wing, and another one lived in another room.

Xu Fugui lived in two rooms of the west wing, and another family lived in the other one.

Yi Ping'an counted and found that there were 21 households living in the courtyard, about 100 people, which was quite a lot. After a long walk, he returned to the middle courtyard.

When we came to the kitchen, it was called a kitchen, but it was actually just a simple house enclosed on the corridor outside. Except for the houses of Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady, every family had the same configuration. There was no other way. It has been difficult to live in a large city in the capital since ancient times, and it is still the same even in modern times.

In the kitchen, Sha Zhu was cooking, and it was so smooth that the aroma had spread out. The children in the yard were all drooling as they looked over here, but no one came over to ask for food. This was a rule in the city, and no one would visit when eating.

It seems that Banggeng in the plot is an exception, and the other children are all good. It's just that Banggeng is still young and has just learned to walk. He is chubby and pretty.

Yi Ping'an only spoke to Sha Zhu after he finished cooking a dish. It is a virtue not to disturb others while they are working.

"You are Brother Zhuzi, right? I am Yi Ping'an, just call me Ping'an." He even gave him a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth. But he had no choice, as he was holding a pot and a spatula in his hands.

"Hey, brother Ping An, you're giving me candy. I'm already old, you don't need to give me any. Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills. I'm not bragging, but there aren't many people around here who can cook better than me."

Sha Zhu smiled as he talked to Yi Ping'an. He thought that Uncle Yi's son, a top student, was really good. He looked well-educated. He fed him candy and called him Brother Zhuzi, unlike that big Sha Mao who called himself Sha Zhu all day long and was uneducated.

Yi Ping'an also echoed Sha Zhu, "I heard from my father that this is your cooking skill." He gave a thumbs up and said, "I will definitely try it. When Brother Zhuzi becomes a chef, I won't have this opportunity anymore."

Sha Zhu was happy when he heard that. Brother Ping An was really good at talking. "Just hold it. But don't worry, brother. Even if I become a chef, I will still cook for you." He said with a chuckle.

Yi Ping'an also laughed. He thought that Sha Zhu was quite funny and his words were interesting. The way old Beijingers speak can be summed up in one word: "poor". Yi Ping'an had known this for a long time, so he couldn't help but start making jokes while chatting with him.

"Brother, go out and wait first. The smoke is so strong that I hope it won't choke you."

"I'm not afraid of smoking it, it's a good opportunity to experience the life of ordinary people. If it's well smoked, I can have a few bites when I'm hungry at night."

After saying that, both of them laughed.

"What are you two brothers laughing at?" At this time Yang Cuiyun also came in.

"Aunt Yi, we were just joking. You don't know that brother Ping'an is really different from other intellectuals. He is very humble and a good person." Sha Zhu said to Yang Cuiyun. Mainly because he felt that Yi Ping'an, an intellectual, did not look down on him and even joked with him, which was very much in line with his temper, He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, look at what you said. Intellectuals are also human beings. They also need to eat. If you don't cook for them, they will have nothing to eat." After Yi Ping'an finished speaking, he winked at Sha Zhuzi.

Sha Zhu laughed loudly, and Yang Cuiyun also laughed.

"Ping'an, you go out first. Everyone in the yard is here. Go and talk to your father and the others." Yang Cuiyun asked Yi Ping'an to go out quickly. Her son was a college student. How could he go into the kitchen? He was not a cook.

Yi Ping'an did not refuse, "Brother Zhuzi, I'll go out first. Thank you for your hard work. You can have a couple more drinks later." He said hello to Sha Zhu and walked out.

"Okay, brother, I got it."
