The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

There are 8 people in a dormitory, bunk beds.

The youngest of the other seven is 7 years old, and only Li Yuan looks like a child in comparison.

Although everyone was surprised, because it was a short-term class, they didn't express much, but they took good care of him.

After one night of communication, he also understood the nature of this class.

The students are the backbone of each unit and are in the promotion stage.

This study is mainly to improve students' ability to observe and deal with problems using Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods.

In light of the new situation, we should improve students' political, ideological and scientific and cultural levels, strengthen their party spirit, and further play a pioneering and exemplary role.

When classes started the next day, the vice-principal’s speech also illustrated this point.

"...

I hope that through one month of intensive study, you can strengthen your party spirit, return to your posts, and be able to better serve the people.

I hope you will recognize yourself clearly, make the party spirit more pure, and make due contributions to the rejuvenation of the country."

The daily course schedule is full, and I need to write down my study experience in the evening.

It feels more rigorous than military training in college, and there is basically no time for oneself.

After finishing the daily review of learning experience, I returned to the dormitory and fell asleep.

In his mind, he thought this was a good opportunity to expand his network.

I didn’t expect that until graduation, I would be familiar with only a few people in the dormitory.

The other students looked familiar at most, their names or units, but they didn't know anything about them at all.

During the month of study, there were no group activities, but only group study.

As the teacher said, this intensive study will take one month to complete one year of knowledge accumulation.

One month later, all 42 students in the class received their graduation certificates with exhaustion.

I ate a meal in a daze.

The only consolation is that everyone receives a classmate directory, which contains the units, positions and contact information of all classmates.

Cherish each other and go home.

Li Yuan went to the bicycle parking area and cleaned the dusty bicycle with a rag.

The journey was uneventful, and I rode back to the compound at 3pm.

Today is Saturday, and the only ones in the courtyard are the aunt and daughter-in-law who are fine.

Qin Huairu is also among them. Judging from his enthusiasm, he must be getting along well with everyone.

It's a pity that she was born in the wrong time. If she were placed in future generations, she would have been a strong woman.

Li Yuan's return caused exclamations in the courtyard.

Everyone greeted Li Yuan one after another, because as early as a month ago, rumors that Li Yuan was about to be promoted had spread throughout the compound.

A serious deputy section chief is already considered a senior executive in a nearby compound. After completing his studies this time, he will definitely be promoted to a real section-level cadre.

Qin Huairu greeted Li Yuan warmly, as if she had never been unhappy in the past.

"Motoko, you're back, are you tired? Do you want me to find a few people to help you clean up the house?"

The sudden change made Li Yuan a little surprised, "I'm not tired. I'll finish it in a while, so I don't need to trouble everyone."

"Okay, if you need help if you need anything, just ask. My sister-in-law is not good at other things, but she still has the strength to wash and rinse."

"That's right, Motoko, if you have any dirty work, just tell me and we'll be willing to help."

"Thank you everyone, you are busy, I have to go home and take a look."

Li Yuan hurriedly ended the chat and returned home.

There is no obvious dust in the house. The soil in the flower pots on the kitchen balcony is still moist. Someone should help clean it.

Needless to say, this person is either the third aunt or the pillar's daughter-in-law, Tian Xiujuan.

What happened in the courtyard today made Li Yuan understand one thing. As long as you are prosperous, you will be surrounded by good people.

Li Yuan cleaned inside and out and found a lot of cat hair.

When we arrived at the storage room, the ice cubes in the large vat had melted. It was a good idea to move everything inside before leaving.

I tidied up the storage room and put some white noodles, rice and corn noodles on the shelves.

I walked out of the compound and walked around the vegetable market. I wanted to buy some meat as a cover, but unfortunately there was no meat here.

After asking the boss, I learned that there is very little meat supply here after the New Year.

On the contrary, you can buy canned meat in grain stores with meat coupons. Whether you can buy it depends on luck.

And it takes more than a dozen meat tickets to buy a canned meat.

I bought some spices at the drugstore and returned to the compound, preparing to eat some meat in the space at night.

As I was preparing to cook dinner in the evening, I heard a knock on the door.

"Brother, you are back. It's just the right time in the evening. I just cooked half a chicken, and we brothers are just in time to have some wine."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he put down his lunch box and turned back to the central courtyard.

Li Yuandun felt that his past efforts had not been in vain, and the Siheyuan God of War was still thinking about him.

As for whether he was suspected of flattering, Li Yuan didn't believe it at all.

If he is such a person, with his cooking skills, he cannot be just a chef in the canteen of the steel rolling mill.

Soon, He Yuzhu brought his wife, children and He Yuzhu to Li Yuan's house.

"Brother Yuanzi," He Yuyu greeted Li Yuan happily.

She was holding seven pounds in her hands, and she acted very ladylike, not like the fussy person she used to be when she saw him.

Thanks to his brother who is a chef, even in this age, his nutrition can still be kept up and he has started to grow.

He Yuzhu walked towards the kitchen with a basket in his hand.

"Yuanzi, you don't have to worry about dinner, I'll take care of it," He Yuzhu shouted.

“It’s been a long time since I tasted Brother Zhuzi’s craftsmanship, and I miss it a bit.

There are some eggs, a piece of cabbage, and a few potatoes at home. The vegetables in the flower pot are suitable for use. There are some in the flour storage room, and the flashlight is sitting at the door," Li Yuan said with a smile.

Then he asked Tian Xiujuan and Yu Yu to sit down, and he started to boil water.

Half an hour later, dinner was quickly served.

Li Yuan went to the second floor and took two bottles of Fenjiu from the space.

The guests and hosts sat down and chatted while eating.

Neither Li Yuan nor He Yuzhu drank half a catty of wine.

"Brother, last week, someone came to the courtyard to ask some uncles to investigate you. Is there anything going on?"

Li Yuancai knew that He Yuzhu had two purposes today, one was to pick up the slack for Li Yuan, and the other was to spread the news.

Li Yuanwei mused, "It should be nothing. If the guess is correct, it is a normal organization to visit the people."

"I'm even more worried about this. Will the gentlemen?"

Although he didn't say anything further, Li Yuan also understood, "It's okay, the pure will become clear by itself, and the turbid will become turbid by itself."

This is a characteristic of this era, organizing visits to the masses, including neighbors and colleagues.

He wasn't too worried, because with Yan Fugui around, even if the other two caused mischief, the organization would probably expand the scope of the investigation.

Judging from how they left after questioning the three of them, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong probably didn't say anything excessive.

It seems that that lesson gave them a long memory.

After all, they would not dare to offend a person who can silently take a living person to the cellar at any time without asking the reason and who only acts based on his feelings.

With their shrewdness, they would be able to guess who did it.

The last warning, I don’t know if they will be buried in the wilderness next time.

After dinner, they sent He Yuzhu and his family away. As soon as they sat down, they heard another knock on the door.
