The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

When Li Yuan returned to the compound, he saw the well-known matchmaker Wang walking out of the Yan family, holding a small box in her hand, talking and laughing with the Yan family and his wife.

"Oh, isn't this the boy from the Li family? He's already so old. Aunt Wang will introduce you to a good girl tomorrow." The young people in each compound are her resources, and she usually doesn't put in any effort.

I often chat with people in various courtyards. Recently, there are more young people of the right age in the courtyard, and Matchmaker Wang comes more often. With some intention, I gradually get to know Li Yuan.

She has a niece in the countryside who is not as good looking as she is, but is plump and fertile, so she is a good match for a lazy boy like Li Yuan.

Recently, my brother sent me an urgent message, saying that if I couldn't find the young man in the city, my niece would run away with a boy from a neighboring village.

I was worrying, and when I met Li Yuan today, I had an idea. Isn't this the most suitable person?

"Boy from the Li family, we agreed that I will bring him here next weekend."

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Li Yuan would regret it, he turned around and walked quickly for a few steps. He said goodbye to the Yan family and his wife in a hip-hop voice and left quickly.

Li Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, then realized what he was doing and was about to chase him out of the courtyard, but was grabbed by the arm by Yan Fugui who came back.

"Xiao Yuanzi, you are not young anymore. Start a family quickly and get a wife to take care of you, and you can still live your life. And as the saying goes, the three most unfilial things are not having children.

Therefore, while you are young, you should find a wife as early as possible and have more children so that the old Li family can continue the family line."

Yan Fugui was sincere, and Li Yuan didn't know how to refute what he said, so he had to change the track, "Well, third uncle, why don't you lend me some money, and I will also buy some property. Look at my broken family, how can I get married?" daughter in law".

"Hey, it's not like you don't understand the situation of the third uncle. Just now, Matchmaker Wang introduced someone to Jie Cheng. I think there is a high probability that he can succeed. The third uncle also doesn't know what to do with their property.

And there are no new houses, either. . . Forget it, you only have one room, the third uncle can think of other ways."

Yan Fugui wanted to fight back, but looking at Li Yuan's room, he stopped joking.

"Third uncle, I heard that the master's house to the west of the house is selling, why don't you do it earlier?"

Yan Fugui's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect it to spread so quickly. I originally wanted to support the other party, but it seemed that I had to start early to prevent the night from becoming too long and having too many dreams.

"Hey, it's been negotiated and the ownership will be transferred in a few days."

After saying that, he pulled the third aunt and turned around to leave. The third aunt still hadn't said anything, she was brewing in her heart. When she was pulled away, she hurriedly told Li Yuan to listen to her wife.

Looking at the two people leaving in a hurry, a smile slowly appeared on Li Yuan's lips.

But thinking about Matchmaker Wang, I felt uncomfortable again.

He didn't want to get married so early, and suddenly remembered that the current marriage law seems to be 20 years old for men and 18 years old for women.

He is a law-abiding person, how could he hold a banquet first and get the certificate later?

Thinking of this, he was temporarily relieved. It seemed that he could still mess around for another two years.

Looking at the dim oil lamp, Li Yuan chose to go to bed early.

I probably woke up before 5 o'clock in the morning, and the courtyard was so quiet that I couldn't hear a sound.

Li Yuan opened his stance and started practicing slowly in the room.

Tai Chi is a circular movement, which fully demonstrates the essence of punching and squatting. Standing in the center of the room, your body is completely stretched, every move is as elegant as a fairy, and every breath and breath blends into nature.

After two strokes, I feel refreshed and my whole body is filled with the aura of Chuchen.

Standing there, feeling it for a while, he soon slumped his shoulders and bent back, returning to his normal appearance.

As soon as he got to work in the morning, Stationmaster Wang pointed to the warehouse, too lazy to speak, and turned back to his office.

Li Yuan felt happy. It seemed that the webmaster had gotten everything he wanted. The webmaster hid it well enough and could get all these things done in one afternoon. Needless to say, the relationship was definitely a good one.

Li Yuan partially repaired and installed the frame. He used a file to deliberately polish the repaired parts so they were not very smooth, giving people the feeling of a novice.

Adjusting the spokes is a technical job. Although I had prepared for it for a long time, I realized it was not that easy after actually doing it.

Whether the hub is round or not is related to the overall adjustment of the spokes. In order to better understand the accuracy of the adjustment, he welded a bracket.

Put the adjusted hub on the bracket and rotate it gently, you can easily find out which position is under-adjusted and which position is over-adjusted.

Due to lack of experience and preparation of tooling, I completed one wheel hub adjustment throughout the morning.

Before noon, stationmaster Wang came to the warehouse for a walk, added a piece of coal to the stove, and left with his hands behind his back.

Li Yuan knew that Webmaster Wang was a little impatient. He had invested so much and wanted to see results. But I watched Li Yuan play with the wheel in a leisurely manner.

I wanted to scold him, but looking at the other person's serious look, he seemed to be working hard. He didn't understand and didn't want to show his timidity. After seeing it, he left with complicated emotions.

After lunch, Li Yuan followed the crowd, moved a wooden board close to the stove, lay down in his clothes and took a nap.

With the experience gained in the morning, it only took half an hour to adjust the other hub in the afternoon.

Check the inner wall of the hub carefully to avoid missing sharp places.

Then install the inner and outer tires, add the axle, put in the inner tiles and balls, fill it with butter, install it on the frame, and hang the chain.

At this point the entire bike has been installed.

Li Yuan rode it to the courtyard and experienced it for himself. He found that the body of the bicycle was stable, the operation was smooth, and the riding was effortless, indicating that the first second-hand bicycle was successfully assembled.

At this time, the other four people at the acquisition station were standing in the courtyard, watching Li Yuan's test and whispering to each other.

"It looks a bit ugly, who would want it?" Liang Zhixiang commented in a low voice.

"Hey, as long as the price is right, I will definitely want it." Chen Bing knows that the appearance of a bicycle is important, but practicality is more important.

Stationmaster Wang put his hands behind his back and couldn't hide the smile on his face. He had already thought about it and asked a friend to buy some paint and paint it all over again. It would look like new by then.

The most expensive thing about a car is the tires. The friendly price is 12.84, or 25.68 for two. The others are relatively cheap, and the frame is a scrap, so the cost is extremely low.

A new car costs more than 150 yuan, and he can consider between 50 and 80 yuan for a second-hand one.

The important thing is not to make money, but to find a new idea for the waste collection station to turn waste into treasure and support national construction.

This is more important than making money, and it is also the qualification for him to move to the next level.

Uncle Song had a look of relief on his face. He didn't expect that Li Yuan would be able to do this. He had never doubted Li Yuan because everyone here had gone through strict political review.

Three years later, it was still calm here and no suspicious people had been seen. He didn't know whether to feel regretful or lucky. After a few more glances, he returned to the concierge on crutches.

"Webmaster, I'm glad you have fulfilled your duty. You can try it and see what needs to be changed." After experiencing it, Li Yuan felt satisfied and rode to the side of the Webmaster.

"Okay, Motoko, this bike looks ugly, but it looks stronger." Chen Bing immediately came over and rubbed the bike with his hands.

Stationmaster Wang put his legs on the car and started circling in the courtyard.

"Well, Yuanzi, help me get one too, make it look more beautiful," Liang Zhixiang said excitedly, showing his head from the other side of Li Yuan.
