Break out of the courtyard

The Zhang family's lunch meal was eaten in the courtyard.

The rectangular dining table in the main room was put out, and the narrow desks in the two wing rooms were put together, so that the three tables formed a double rectangular dining table.

When Zhang Heping made these three tables, he considered the size of the yard and the placement of chairs. Although the yard was a bit small, it didn't feel crowded when everyone sat down.

At the lunch table, Zhang Heping invited Uncle Zhuang, Grandma Yang, Huang Xuemin, Huang Wenli, and Director Wang, who had a lot of objections to him. They mainly blamed him for changing the door and showing off!

In addition, there are Zhao Jianguo who represents the old company commander, Liu Yuan who represents Liu Lao, and Director Qi from the Houhai Subdistrict Office.

Zhang Heping also invited Dr. Zhao from Xuanwu Hospital, but the doctor said he had an operation today and couldn't come.

I didn't call my cousin Zhang Cuishan next door at noon. That guy was a bit stupid and asked him to follow me to change the courtyard gate, but he wouldn't do it!

I asked him to convert a back room into a toilet, bathroom and kitchen, but he wouldn't do it!

Therefore, the rear roof of Courtyard No. 6 is still a tiled roof, but the distance between the rear roof and the east and west wing rooms has become wider.

As for Zhang Heping, the size of the courtyard has not changed, but the two gatehouses have become wider and taller... taller than the door of courtyard No. 8 next door!

This is what makes Director Wang the most angry, he is not low-key enough!

The food at noon today was quite rich. Zhang Heping had hunted the prey with a crossbow two days in advance. The dead prey was sold to the supply and marketing cooperative in Qianshan Village. The legs and feet of the undead animals shot by the crossbow were tied up and brought back to this day. Just started killing.

The main reason is that the weather is too hot and there is no refrigerator to store food, so we can only cook it freshly.

During the meal, Director Wang was still expressing his dissatisfaction with Zhang Heping, "This brat brought a pair of stone lions from nowhere and placed them on either side of the door. That lion is taller than me. It's so ostentatious!"

"Not just stone lions!" Director Qi helped: "There are also seven pairs of round stone piers and square stone piers with lions, placed under the left and right eaves! I followed Xiao Wang's instructions and confiscated them all; now they are placed Right next to the door of our street office, hehe!"

"Yo!" Uncle Zhuang gave Zhang Heping a thumbs up and joked: "Heping wants to become an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs!"

"That's not true!" Zhao Jianguo interjected: "Our organizing committee member, Comrade Zhang Heping, is capable of writing to bring order to the world, and is capable of using his horse to determine the world! He can go to the hall and go to the kitchen! It only costs eighty-eight cents, and he can take it home tonight. !”

puff...

The eight-dollar and eight-tail sentences that Zhao Jianguo learned from Zhang Heping made several girls burst into laughter!

The host and guest enjoy themselves, and the guests leave...

Zhang Heping poured the leftovers on the ceramic dish together and stewed it in a large pot. After it boiled with the lid on, he left it in the pot, waiting for the vermicelli for dinner.

By the way, his family has fully entered the ceramic age, and the enamel basins, enamel cups, bamboo cups, etc. were all left in Courtyard No. 95.

As for the source of the porcelain, they were all picked from trust stores, but unfortunately they were not in complete sets.

……

Dinner is a little simpler. There is no need to cook the roe deer meat because it is already in the pot.

After Lao Zhang went to pick up his four comrades, he was stuck in the doorway for a long time before going to the courtyard to drink tea.

After Xu Damao and his wife arrived, they were very interested in the bathroom built in a quarter of the east gate room and the brick toilet inside. They also wanted to install one in the west wing of his house. Unfortunately, 95 The courtyard has no sewer connection to the cesspit.

Chen Liqin, the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, came alone with a gift. As soon as she handed the gift to Ma Xiuzhen, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to help in the large kitchen of the west gate room. However, Zhang Heping kicked her out and asked her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, to follow her back. Courtyard No. 95 brought the three brothers and sisters from the Zhou family.

It was time to have dinner, and Zhang Cuishan, the cousin next door, actually acted reserved and insisted on waiting until eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi went to invite her.

Zhang Heping chose not to see this and was too lazy to talk to him.

Character is something that unless you change it, outsiders cannot change it.

Just like Zhang Heping's stubborn temper, he knew clearly that a storm was coming and keeping a low profile was the way to go, but he still got hot-headed and changed the concierge... Only then did he feel comfortable.

After eating, Zhang Heping greeted his three sisters, went to the kitchen and took out the pre-packed lunch boxes.

The whole Zhou family came and refused to take lunch boxes; Xu Damao brought a lunch box for his parents and sister; each of his four comrades had a lunch box, which was delivered to their home by his father Zhang Bing and mother Ma Xiuzhen.

When Xu Damao and his wife and four members of the Zhou family returned to Courtyard No. 4, they were stopped by the gatekeeper Yan Bugui. The main target of the attack was Xu Damao, who was holding a big lunch box!

The four members of the Zhou family returned to the penthouse. Xu Damao asked Lou Xiaoe to go home and push his bicycle. He stayed in the front yard with the Yan Bugui family and the two people who had been enjoying the cool air in Ermendong. At this time, everyone who came around began to brag.

In order to increase his persuasion, Xu Damao first opened the lunch box and showed it around, "Did you see it? It's all meat! The meat and vegetables were packed in advance, not leftovers! What do you call this, being particular!"

Xu Damao covered the lunch box with a smile, and then said with half truth and half falsehood: "Do you know why the door of Zhang Heping's house is yellow instead of red?"

"Golden nanmu! Have you heard of it? That thing is yellow and more valuable than gold!"

"Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Liqin, the Zhou family's daughter-in-law, couldn't listen anymore and stood at the door to remind her.

"Okay, keep a low profile! Got it!" Xu Damao waved his right hand towards Chen Liqin, then lowered his voice and said to the people around him:

"You may not believe it when I tell you, but there is actually a small toilet in their yard! The walls, toilet and latrine in the toilet are all covered with white tiles!"

"Have you never seen white tiles? You idiot, go to Houhai tomorrow to gain some knowledge! There is a public toilet with white tiles on the right side of No. 6 Courtyard on the North Shore. It is more beautiful than our homes."

"Do you know who paid for the repair of that public toilet? Our family...Lou Xiao'e, her father!"

Yan Bugui quickly stretched out his hand to stop the dancing Xu Damao, and said with a complicated face: "Da Mao, let's continue talking about the Zhang family. You can go to the public toilet tomorrow."

"Where did you say just now?" Xu Damao was stunned for a moment.

Yan Bugui said hurriedly: "We have already talked about the door and the small toilet."

"Oh!" Xu Damao nodded, thought for a while, and started talking nonsense again, "Go and see the gatehouse of his house. The two yellow doors are like a golden mouth, and the two double windows on the left and right are like a pair of big eyes. Then the left and right windows are like a pair of big eyes. The two small windows at the top are like eyebrows, and there is a red five-pointed star on the forehead. Do you know why the Zhang family can't cultivate it like this?"

"Why?" Onlookers cheered eagerly.

Xu Damao said with a mysterious look on his face: "To attract wealth and treasures! The gold-swallowing divine beast!"

"Master Xu, the northern Feng Shui master, designed it for him!"

wow...

People around him didn't realize it, and they talked a lot. Some even decided to go and have a look outside Zhang's house later.

"Xu Damao, you are talking nonsense here, be careful Zhang Heping beats you up!" Lou Xiao'e pushed the bicycle out and said to the people around her angrily and funny:

"Don't listen to Xu Damao's nonsense. The south wall of Zhang's house was excavated by the construction team of the street office when they were digging sewers. The street office paid for the repair. The Zhang family added some money. According to Zhang Heping's request, Only then did I become what I am now.”

"The so-called northern Feng Shui master, Master Xu! Master Xu Damao!"

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she called Xu Damao out.

Yan Bugui was unwilling to give in. Zhang Heping invited him to a hot pot meal when he moved to his new home, but he didn't even invite their family.

Then, Yan Bugui chased him out, caught Xu Damao and continued to ask, "Da Mao, what's the situation in their courtyard?"

"Hey! That's something to talk about!" Xu Damao originally wanted to ride a bicycle, but when he saw Yan Bugui and others chasing him, he simply pushed the bicycle while continuing to talk nonsense: "In the courtyard of his house, there is a big stone in front of the main door. The elm tree is just like the storyteller’s story about Liu Bei’s house. The tree is as big as..."

"The pavilions are like canopies!" Yan Bugui hurriedly added.

"That's it!" Xu Damao continued excitedly: "The furniture in his house are all yellow, you know, they are all the kind of golden nanmu!"

"There are a total of five rooms in his house. The furniture in each room has more than 5 legs. There is also a large fan hanging on the roof. There is a sewing machine in each room."

"The key is that there is a TV in the living room of his main house!"

"Have you never seen a TV? Have you seen a tape recorder or a floor fan? He has them all at home..."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the sky speechlessly, thinking about whether Zhang Heping should let him hit the key points when he beat Xu Damao. This is too nonsense.

……

The west wing of the front yard, the Yan family.

Late at night, Yan Bugui looked at the lights on in the east wing opposite and sighed helplessly, "Alas... I was obviously the one who pulled the Zhang family out of the quagmire, but now my relationship with the Zhang family cannot be compared to that of Xu Damao! Even Even the newcomers to the Zhou family were invited to have a hot pot meal!"

Yan Jiecheng said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, what Xu Damao said is false as soon as you hear it. Do you need to sigh?"

"If words can be fake, is the meat in that lunch box also fake?" Yan Bugui took off his glasses melancholy, took out his handkerchief and wiped them, and said:

"Although Xu Damao is talking nonsense, if you remove the exaggeration, it is true. Small toilet, wooden furniture, sewing machine, tape recorder, electric fan..."

"Jiefang, you should get closer to Zhang Heping in the future and see if you can go to his house to play."

"No!" Yan Jiefang turned his head to the side angrily, "I won't be allowed to play with him for a while, and won't be allowed to talk to him for a while. Do you know what Zhang Heping said about me in front of his classmates?"

"Repeated villain!"
