Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

After receiving the reward, Zhang Yuan planned to use the weekend to visit the courtyard that the system rewarded him. The day after tomorrow was the weekend, so he could take the time to find out for himself. At the same time, he also planned to go back to the courtyard to visit He Yushui.

Zhang Yuan got on his bike, nodded politely to the security guard at the door, and pedaled away briskly. When he passed the supply and marketing cooperative, he suddenly realized that there might not be much food and vegetables left at home, and Jerry was still living there, and he was an absolute glutton! So he stopped his bike and walked into the store to buy some food, soda and candy.

Then, Zhang Yuan continued to move forward, and when he passed the market, he bought a large amount of vegetables and meat. He found a secluded corner with no one around, and skillfully put all the ingredients into the storage space.

Finally returning to the familiar Nanluoguxiang, Zhang Yuan's eyes were attracted by a familiar figure - the man was holding an extremely huge broom alone, silently sweeping the street.

"Silly Zhu?" Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shout out.

Hearing someone shouting, the person behind him slowly turned his head and met Zhang Yuan's eyes. Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He never thought that the person in front of him was actually Sha Zhu!

"Zhang Yuan, you're back?" Sha Zhu said.

"Yes, it's the weekend, so I came back to clean the yard and visit Yu Shui and you on the way." Zhang Yuan said.

After hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Sha Zhu's expression eased a little, and he nodded and said, "You are thoughtful and you didn't let Yu Shui down."

"Why are you sweeping the streets?" Zhang Yuan asked puzzledly.

Sha Zhu sighed and said helplessly: "Ah, it's hard to put it into words."

Seeing Sha Zhu's hesitation, Zhang Yuan knew that he must have some difficulties, but it was not easy to ask any more, so he said: "Okay, if you need any help, just ask, I will do my best."

"Thank you, Zhang Yuan. But now I just want to work hard, and we can talk about other things later." Sha Zhu said.

"Okay then, I won't disturb you for now. You go ahead and do your work." Zhang Yuan said.

"Yeah, okay." Sha Zhu nodded, and then continued to clean the streets.

Seeing that Sha Zhu refused to say anything more, Zhang Yuan did not force him and turned away. He thought to himself: What kind of difficulties did Sha Zhu encounter? Why did he end up sweeping the streets here? It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to ask him properly.

"Okay then, come over to my house after you're done and have a drink tonight."

"Ah."

Seeing that Sha Zhu agreed, Zhang Yuan hurriedly rode his bicycle back to the courtyard. On the way, he felt particularly happy, as if the sun had become brighter. However, when he was about to reach the courtyard, he ran into a person who gave him a headache - Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui used to be the third uncle of the Siheyuan. Although he no longer holds this role, he still does his old job: blocking the door to get benefits. Every time someone enters or leaves the Siheyuan, he will always appear at the gate first, trying to get some benefits from others.

When Yan Bugui saw Zhang Yuan coming back on his bicycle, his eyes lit up immediately. He first glanced at Zhang Yuan's bicycle, as if looking for something. However, when he found that Zhang Yuan's bicycle did not have what he expected, he could not help but feel disappointed and uncomfortable.

"Zhang Yuan, long time no see!" Yan Bugui said with a wry smile.

"Yes, Teacher Yan, the factory is closed today, so I'll come over and stay for a day or two." Zhang Yuan tried his best to keep his tone calm. He knew how difficult Yan Bugui was and didn't want to get entangled with him too much.

"It's good that you're back. I haven't seen you for these days. I was just about to talk to you about something, and it's a good thing that you're back." Yan Bugui stopped Zhang Yuan and said.

"Is there something wrong? There's no rush. Wait until I get home and clean up, then come over." Zhang Yuan said with a frown.

"Okay, okay." Yan Bugui saw that Zhang Yuan looked unhappy, but fortunately Zhang Yuan agreed to wait for him to come, so Yan Bugui quickly made way.

Not long after Zhang Yuan left, Yan Bugui also followed him home and sent his wife to continue guarding the gate.

"Old woman, please go and guard the door. I have something urgent to deal with first."

"What's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"

"Zhang Yuan is back!"

"What? Zhang Yuan is back?"

"Yes, I have to talk to him right away to see if he is willing to lend us the house."

"Hey, Dad, what are you still standing there for? Go quickly!" Yan Jiecheng, who had been hiding in the house and eavesdropping on his parents' conversation, rushed out immediately when he heard that Zhang Yuan had returned, and urged Yan Bugui to help him borrow a house.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Yan Bugui was about to leave when he was stopped by Yan Jiecheng's mother.

"Old man, you have to pay more attention. Whether our son can get married successfully depends on you!"

"That's right, Dad. You must not let me down this time. If my life is delayed because of this, our Yan family will have no successor!" Yan Jiecheng was so anxious that he even said such cruel words.

"Bah!" Yan Bugui spat fiercely and looked at Yan Jiecheng with disdain, "You can't even deal with your future daughter-in-law, what does this have to do with the house? I tell you, I have more than one son, and our Yan family will never be extinct!" After saying that, Yan Bugui widened his eyes and glared at Yan Jiecheng, his anger evident in his words.

Yan Jiecheng felt guilty when his father glared at him. He scratched his head, lowered his head awkwardly, and muttered softly, "I'm worried too... What if the house issue affects Yu Li and I? What should I do then..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!" Yan Bugui waved his hand impatiently, "I'll go find someone to ask about the situation now." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind his wife, "Old lady, remember to check the gate!"

"I know!" Yan Bugui's wife responded unhappily. She had long been accustomed to her husband's behavior of taking advantage of others.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuan returned home and found that the house was unusually clean, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly. He thought that it must be He Yushui who helped clean it, and it seemed that he was quite thoughtful.

At this time, a voice called out from a distance: "Zhang Yuan, is Zhang Yuan home?" Zhang Yuan knew without thinking that it must be Yan Bugui. He couldn't help but feel a little resentful. This Yan Bugui really made him worry! He had just arrived home and hadn't even sat down yet, and he came to the door.
