Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

This yard was originally a two-courtyard house covering an area of ​​less than 200 square meters. Later, when the ancestors split up and the first and second branches fell out, they sealed the moon gate in the middle.

The two families never had any contact with each other.

The backyard is not large and has three rooms. A new gate was opened in the northwest corner, with the street outside, making it very convenient to go in and out. The neighbors all live quite far away.

Just avoid people who are getting off work at night and you'll be fine.

If they rented the whole place, it was not cheap, only 8 yuan a month. They only got this price through bargaining with an acquaintance. The Li Guoyong brothers gritted their teeth and rented it.

In order to keep it secret, the two brothers spent a lot of money.

After putting on makeup and putting on a simple mask he made himself, Zhang Minghui followed the two brothers here in the evening. After seeing the situation of this hospital, he was very satisfied.

This place is so secretive that almost no one notices it.

Zhang Minghui asked the two brothers to wait here. After about an hour, the agreed signal rang from the door. When the two opened the door, they saw Zhang Minghui dressed in black and with his face covered.

Holding a sack in each hand, he walked quickly into the yard, went to the pond and put the bags down.

Li Guoqiang couldn't help it, so he stepped forward and opened the sack. The black and white wild boar meat was clearly visible in the sack.

Li Guoqiang swallowed his saliva and licked his lips. He hadn't eaten meat for a while, and when he saw the meat in front of him, he wanted to cook it and eat it right away.

Li Guoyong opened another bag and stared at the wild boar meat in the bag.

Zhang Minghui didn't stay long. Seeing that the two people didn't care about their misconduct, he started talking.

"This is 100 kilograms of meat. After it's sold, put a triangular stone at the door. As long as I see it, I will send you meat."

While the two brothers were in a trance, Zhang Minghui pushed the door and left. Before leaving, Zhang Minghui deliberately glanced at the two brothers. He knew that it would not be long before they met.

These two brothers will become my right-hand men.

After Zhang Minghui left for a while, his younger brother Li Guoqiang stared at the bag of pork, his saliva almost flowing out. He looked at his elder brother with sparkling eyes and said tentatively.

"Brother, we haven't eaten meat for a long time. Should we save some meat for mom and sister to nourish their bodies?"

Li Guoyong's expression turned cold, and he looked at Li Guoqiang and spoke.

"Brother, you have to remember that since people trust us, we brothers have to work hard. Do you think our family will be short of meat in the future?"

"It seems that this guy must have connections with a certain village. Look at this meat, it's very fresh. Let's sell the meat first and complete the cooperation with him."

"Next time he delivers meat, we'll save some to improve the meals for mom and sister."

"So many years have passed, and this little bit of time doesn't matter. If we can maintain this relationship, good days will come for our family. Don't lose the big picture for the small."

Li Guoqiang understood the logic behind this, but he hadn't eaten meat for a long time and was craving for it.

In the following days, Li Guoyong and his brother became very popular in the black market. A large amount of wild boar meat suddenly appeared in the black market in Shichahai.

All the wealthy families nearby bought them.

There are many wealthy people, but during this New Year holiday, money cannot buy good things. When these two brothers showed off their hundreds of kilograms of meat, it immediately attracted people in the black market, and they all stared at these two brothers.

The two brothers were not stupid. When they saw that something was wrong, they quickly changed their location and started selling pork in another black market.

Zhang Minghui never interfered in the affairs of the two. After watching them for two days, he stopped caring about them. The Li Guoyong brothers had been able to survive in the black market for so long, and they had their own way of survival.

If they can't even handle this matter, it means that they are useless and not worth training.

...

Zhang Minghui had been busy with the black market and didn't pay much attention to the hospital's affairs. When he got home from get off work in the evening, he cooked a meal for Doudou, and after eating, he took advantage of Doudou's absence to play.

Zhang Minghui always takes a nap to facilitate his actions at night.

Just after getting off work today, I walked into the Central Courtyard and heard the aunties and sisters there chattering non-stop. Zhang Minghui did not stay to listen and went straight to the backyard to go home.

Just passed through the Moon Gate.

I saw a girl coming towards me, a very pretty girl, holding a basin in her hand, about 14.5 years old, wearing coarse cloth clothes.

It is difficult to conceal her beauty.

"Without makeup, the eyebrows are light and the plain clothes are always suitable."

A familiar phrase suddenly echoed in Zhang Minghui's mind. At this moment, Zhang Minghui realized the artistic conception of ancient poets when they wrote poems.

When they passed by each other, Zhang Minghui seemed to smell the faint fragrance of the little girl, which made him feel extremely comfortable and warm.

Zhang Minghui suppressed the urge to look back. He had to leave a good impression on the girl. This was different from the later generations, when people appreciated beautiful things.

Without stopping, he walked towards the house. He saw several people busy cleaning the house, coming in and out.

Doudou was playing with a boy, who looked about the same age as Doudou. The two were fighting with small sticks.

He was still shouting and laughing.

Seeing Doudou and the little boy having so much fun playing, Zhang Minghui felt unhappy and shouted loudly from a distance.

"Doudou, have you finished your homework?"

Hearing his brother's shouting, Doudou showed an excited expression, threw away the stick, and ran towards Zhang Minghui with his short legs.

When they were still two or three meters away, Doudou opened his arms and threw himself into Zhang Minghui's arms. Zhang Minghui half-knelt down, picked up Doudou, and lifted him up and down.

The happy laughter of Doudou spread throughout the backyard.

When Doudou was having fun, Zhang Minghui hugged Doudou, scratched her little nose, and said something unhappily.

"Doudou, why don't you go to the front yard to play with Jie Di and the others?"

Doudou wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly.

"Brother, there's a new neighbor next door. This is my new good friend. Let me introduce him to you."

The two little feet kept fluttering in Zhang Minghui's arms, trying to get her brother to put her down. Seeing the little girl in his arms, he was so close to other little boys.

Zhang Minghui's face was tense and he spoke unhappily.

"Doudou, don't move. You can introduce us in your brother's arms."

When he came in front of the little boy and saw his slightly delicate face, Zhang Minghui wanted to spank the little bastard even more, before Zhang Minghui could even open his mouth to say anything.

All the adults in the house came out, two men in their forties, two women in their forties, and a pretty girl in her twenties.

Wow, Zhang Minghui thought to himself while holding Doudou.

"With so many people moving in at once, this house is really being fully utilized. But to be honest, this family is all very good-looking!"
