Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

At the same time, Han Li found a secret place in the room where the old Han couple lived and hid Jin Ping Mei to avoid being discovered and causing trouble.

When he went out, he saw his sister staring at him eagerly. Han Li instantly remembered that he had casually promised to make a toy for his sister.

Soon, he thought of a toy suitable for children of this age group: a paper windmill.

As mentioned before, Han Li is a well-balanced player who knows a little bit of everything but is not good at anything, so handicrafts are naturally no problem for him.

He tore off a piece of book cover and made a windmill for Han Xiaoxiao in just a few minutes.

Han Li blew hard at the paper windmill, and the paper windmill began to spin loudly.

"Wow!" Han Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she jumped up with joy.

We are now in the post-war reconstruction period, and the games played by children at this time are not as colorful as they were later. Most of the children play games such as spinning tops, slingshots, kites, skipping rubber ropes, and stone throwing.

As for the paper windmill, it probably has not been popularized these days. Han Xiaoxiao has never seen one, so it's no wonder that she is so happy.

In short, it won’t have any impact if this kind of children’s toy spreads out.

If someone asks, just say that you saw other kids playing with it in the countryside, and thought it was novel so you made it for your sister.

When we got to the countryside, this paper windmill became a new toy for the city kids.

I guess no one would pay attention to such a trivial matter.

"This is called a little windmill. Go to the yard and Daguo will teach you how to play with it!"

In less than two minutes, Han Xiaoxiao was running around the yard with a paper windmill, and the yard was filled with the happy laughter of children.

Han Li smiled dotingly and couldn't help thinking: "The paper windmill should become a childhood memory for Xiaoxiao's generation."

The next second, he found his two younger brothers lying at the door and watching with great interest. It must be the first time for them to see a paper windmill and they felt it was very novel.

Han Cong is only in his teens this year. Seeing the new toys, he was eager to play with them. He couldn't help but look at his elder brother expectantly: "Brother, can you make one for me too?"

"No." Han Li answered very straightforwardly: "You two should act like seriously injured people today and lie down at home. Otherwise, that old hag Jia Zhang will see you and come back to our house to extort money."

As for why the younger sister didn't pretend to be sick, it was because she was "scared pretty badly from the kick" and it made sense that she recovered quickly.

Thinking of Jia Zhang, the two brothers unconsciously shrank their necks and lay quietly at the door watching their sister play happily.

"Sister Yushui, look, I have a big pot to cook for me."

Upon hearing this, the Han Yong brothers immediately retreated back into the house.

Han Li looked towards the direction of the Moon Gate and saw He Yushui running towards him.

Compared with yesterday, He Yushui has become more cheerful today, and has the liveliness and agility that should be expected at this age.

Come to think of it, after she resolved her worries, her silly brother was almost well again this morning, so his mood and complexion would naturally be better too.

He Yushui first called out sweetly, "Brother Han Li."

"Yushui, you and Xiaoxiao play first, I'll make one for you." Han Li nodded with a smile, then turned and went into the house.

He Yushui instinctively didn't want to trouble others, but seeing Han Xiaoxiao having so much fun, she couldn't help but want one.

At the same time, Han Xiaoxiao also said proudly: "Sister Yushui, the little windmill I made with the big pot is so fun."

"Xiao Xiao, how do you play this?"

Soon, the yard was filled with the laughter of the two little ones.

Afterwards, while watching the two little ones playing happily, Han Li also began to build his image as a book-loving person; he moved a stool to sit in the yard and read.

It is worth mentioning that the book at this time is still in traditional Chinese characters, but it does not affect the reading experience much.

I remember seeing a video in my previous life that said that traditional Chinese characters were used when the remains of the anti-Japanese aid heroes were welcomed back to the country. This was because the heroes had never seen or recognized simplified Chinese characters, as simplified Chinese characters were only introduced in 56.

Probably infected by Han Li, the two kids calmed down, and He Yushui began to teach Han Xiaoxiao to read and write.

The scene of Han Li reading was naturally seen by the women in the outer courtyard who were passing by. Many of them sneered at it, thinking that the eldest son of the Han family was just pretending to be an elephant.

However, the Han family is no longer what it used to be, and no one dares to say it to their faces. They only talk about it when they get together in private.

In this way, Han Li began to enjoy his leisure time. Occasionally telling the two children a story was enough to make them happy for a long time.

What Han Li found funny was that whenever he was telling a story, his two younger brothers, who were pretending to be sick, would stick to the door and eavesdrop like thieves.

When Li Yumei came back from the front yard with a bad look on her face, Han Li asked with concern, "Mom, what happened to you?"

Li Yumei said with a bitter face: "Boss, some people say that the east wing is not clean, so no one dares to live there."

Hearing this, Han Li was slightly stunned, but he quickly figured out the key and thought to himself: Honest people are easily fooled.

Dislike people who are poor, fear people who are rich, hate people who have, and laugh at people who have nothing. This is the evil of human nature.

After thinking for a while, Han Li asked back: "Mom, our Han family has lived in this courtyard for a few years, how come we have never heard that the east wing is not clean before? Now that we have just moved in, this house has become dirty?"

After being reminded by her eldest son, Li Yumei finally realized that someone was jealous of her family's well-being!

She tried hard to recall who had said this just now, and decided to stay away from those people in the future.

While she was angry, Li Yumei also felt relieved. Fortunately, her eldest son was quick-witted, otherwise she would have been fooled by these gossipy women with ulterior motives.

You know, just now she even wanted to give up the house in the front yard, live in the outer yard first, and then find another suitable yard later.

Not only will the family have to pay for rent, but they will also have to go through a lot of trouble.

Just when we are having a good time, someone comes out and makes trouble. How hateful!

"Mom, I heard someone say this in the countryside, and it makes sense. It's like, where in the place where we live now hasn't someone died? If that's the case, then there's no clean place in the world!"

Han Li felt that not only his two younger brothers needed teaching, but the old Han couple also needed to change their minds, otherwise they would definitely suffer a great loss when facing the beasts in the yard in the future.

Li Yumei seemed to suddenly understand and nodded heavily: "Yes, that's the reason. Look at my brain, why couldn't I figure it out just now!"

"Mom, this person fabricated a rumor that the East Wing is not clean, which means he is saying that our No. 95 courtyard is not clean. Uncle just said last night that we should jointly create an advanced and civilized courtyard. Isn't it obvious that he is going against Uncle?"

In fact, in Han Li's opinion, the simplest and most brutal way is to let Li Yumei go to the front yard and curse loudly, so that no one will dare to gossip about her again.

But considering that Li's mother's gentle personality is not suitable for doing such a thing, Han Li also doesn't want his mother in this life to develop into a shrew.

However, the person who spread the rumor must be taught a lesson, otherwise rumors about the Han family will continue to fly everywhere.

Muddy the waters first when something happens, make the problem relevant to everyone, make the rumormongers the target of public criticism and pay the price, and make those who want to secretly plot against the Han family give up their ideas as soon as possible.

After the Han family's battle to establish themselves, no one in the courtyard dared to bully the Han family openly, but there were definitely many people who secretly tried to trip them up and plot against them.

In a nutshell, those who play tactics have dirty hearts!
