"Zhao, I'll ask again in two days." Zhou Yun felt that the student union should be able to handle such a small matter as buying a bus ticket, so she wasn't too anxious.

Peng Wanhua secretly thought that Zhou Yun was still too young and had never been cheated before.

The two strolled along the street for a while, chatted for a while, and then separated.

Peng Wanhua returned to the courtyard house on Kunming Lake East Road.

Ma Sisi was so angry that she basically studied English except for eating.

Peng Wanhua went up to harass her, but she pushed her aside and said angrily: "Comrade Peng Wanhua, can you be a little more civic-minded? If you don't want to study, forget it. Don't disturb my study, okay?"

While he was being dishonest, he argued: "You learn from me, I want to test your determination to learn."

Ma Sisi felt hot all over, and fell into his arms with a squeak, breathing heavily, "If you continue to be dishonest, I will go back to school." She said shyly through her teeth.

Peng Wanhua laughed and said, "Don't blame me, I can only blame you for not having enough concentration."

two hours later.

Ma Sisi got up and said angrily: "It's all your fault. I finally concentrated on studying over the weekend, but you delayed me for so long. If I fail the exam, it's all up to you!"

Peng Wanhua smiled and said, "That's not possible. I just gave you all the books. Why don't you blame me for not reading the books yourself?"

Ma Sisi was so angry that she picked up the book and hit him on the head in embarrassment: "You... you... you are like this... I, can I read it?"

With that said, he packed up his things, then picked up his bag and was about to go out.

"Are you really leaving?" Peng Wanhua stood up and asked.

"If you don't leave, will you delay my study?" Ma Sisi gave him an angry look, staggered and pushed the door open.

Peng Wanhua clicked his tongue, it seemed that she had discovered his little thoughts.

But this girl is really determined.

My legs are so weak, but I can still get up.

Thinking of this, I admire her a little.

After thinking about it for a while, Peng Wanhua got up to make dinner.

I went to the kitchen and walked around. The pot was cold and the stove was cold. I was so lazy that I didn't want to do anything.

After thinking for a while, he took two bottles of Zhuangyuanlang wine, then locked the door and went to the entrance of the alley.

Zhao Liangyou's family and Chen Guangcai were cooking tofu pot in the back room.

After a family moved out later, Zhao Liangyou obtained Peng Wanhua's permission and temporarily moved his family into this small courtyard from the south of the capital.

"Brother, you're here, sit down quickly." Zhao Liangyou stood up, brought him a chair, and then took clean dishes and chopsticks from the cabinet next to him.

Peng Wanhua sat down and put the wine on the table.

Next to him, a little boy of five or six years old was using chopsticks to push tofu into his mouth. Next to him was a woman wearing a flowered jacket, who was Zhao Liangyou's wife, named Liu Xiuzhen.

Chen Guangcai said: "Brother, eat some stewed tofu in this winter, it's stomach-warming and delicious."

Peng Wanhua nodded and opened a bottle of wine: "Let's have two drinks together."

Zhao Liangyou quickly took out three cups from the cabinet. When Chen Guangcai saw this, he asked, "Sister-in-law, you want to drink some too?"

Liu Xiuzhen waved her hand, "You guys drink, it's not convenient for me to take care of the baby."

A few people were eating tofu and chatting about their family's shortcomings.

A fair and plump woman knocked on the door and came in, "Hello, I'm Bai Yuxia who lives in the east room." When she saw Peng Wanhua, her charming eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you the owner of the house?"

Peng Wanhua knew her.

He had been present when she had argued with the young previous owner.

Her face is charming, a bit icy, her body is plump and convex, her skin is as tender as gelatin, and she doesn't look like she has had two children.

I don’t know what caused a fair and fair woman to turn into a shrew.

At this moment, seeing that she was still polite, Peng Wanhua nodded in response.

"Brother, that white widow kept yelling at us to repair her windows, but we didn't." Chen Guangcai reminded him.

Bai Yuxia was widowed a few years ago and now lives with her two daughters.

Her husband's family was not a thing either. When her son died, she immediately blamed the White Widow. She scolded her as the "White Tiger Sangmen Star" for killing her own son, and kicked the three of her out of the house.

Bai Yuxia's hometown is from a rural area in northern Hebei. It was her honor to marry into the city and become a city dweller, but now she has no face to go back. Later, under the arrangement of the street, I moved into this small courtyard. I could only make a living by doing some work on the street pasting paper boxes.

"It just so happens that you are here. My window is broken and has not been repaired. Could you please see if it can be repaired?" Bai Yuxia said. She saw that the other party looked gentle and handsome and was easy to talk to, so she was polite in her words.

A quarter of her window was broken and she couldn't seal it even if she wanted to, so she had to block it with something. However, there will still be a whoosh of cold wind blowing in. Unless you stay on the kang all the time in the winter, no one can stay in the freezing room.

She was rejected by the young homeowner before, and she told Chen Guangcai some time ago that she knew she might have been rejected because of her bad attitude. This time she figured it out and asked with a calm attitude of giving it a try.

Peng Wanhua turned to Zhao Liangyou and asked, "Do we collect the rent ourselves now, or does the housing management office collect it?"

For this small courtyard, including the other three vacated courtyards in Dayouzhuang, he asked Zhang Bin to collect the rent from the housing management office. Later, Zhang Bin handed over the rent collection to Wang Debiao.

After Wang Debiao left, he handed it over to Zhao Liangyou and Chen Guangcai.

Zhao Liangyou said: "Brother, it was still collected by the housing management office. I went to ask. I won't be able to collect the rent from the housing management office until next spring."

Peng Wanhua nodded and said to Bai Yuxia: "You have also heard that up to now it is all the money collected by the housing management, and we have not gotten it, so how can there be any reason to give it to you for free?"

Seeing her face suddenly turn pale, Peng Wanhua couldn't continue to be mean.

The reason why he said this just now was because he didn't want to be manipulated.

He continued: "However, it's so cold in this winter, we can't just sit back and watch. Let's go and have a look together."

Bai Yuxia's face suddenly looked much better after hearing this.

Several people stood in the yard and looked around. About a quarter of the upper right corner of the window was in disrepair and decayed over time, and was currently blocked with several torn sacks.

It's hard to paper over such a big hole, and the window frame is rotten, and it's impossible to fit it in with glass, so we have to make do with it.

When I looked inside the house, I saw that there was no other furniture except two large pieces.

But the house was kept quite clean.

Because the cold wind poured in through the cracks, the temperature was not much higher than the temperature outside.

On the kang, two little girls with yellow hair stuck out their little heads from the quilt. Their yellow hair was a little sparse, and they looked malnourished. They looked at everyone curiously.

Peng Wanhua fell into thinking.

Zhao Liangyou said from the side: "Brother, this window is completely rotten and cannot be repaired. It needs to be replaced, but it will only cost a lot of money."

He had looked at the window before, and tried it with the idea that it could be fixed with minor repairs. But he found that it didn't work at all, and the entire window had to be replaced.

And replacing large wooden windows is not cheap.

Peng Wanhua nodded and said to him, "You and Guangcai will go to Dayouzhuang later to find a wooden board and use nails to nail half of her window. We will replace it with another one when the weather warms up next spring."

He turned to Bai Yuxia and said, "Do you think this is okay?"

Bai Yuxia said gratefully: "It's so doable, thank you so much, uncle!"

Peng Wanhua was originally a little happy to see that he could help their family of three, but now when he heard her call him "uncle", his face turned as black as the bottom of an iron pot.

Several people nearby immediately pursed their lips and suppressed laughter.

Bai Yuxia saw him going out with a bad look on his face. She quietly pulled Liu Xiuzhen's arm and asked, "Why is he not happy to call him uncle?"

Liu Xiuzhen explained with a smile, and Bai Yuxia suddenly became enlightened.
