Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Although Sun Zhengguo rode his bike very fast, he was still a little late when he arrived at school.

He ran into Teacher Ma who came to teach. Fortunately it was Teacher Ma. If it was another teacher, Sun Zhengguo would have been scolded.

After the first Russian class, Zheng Wenhua started to mock him again. Sun Zhengguo was neither anxious nor annoyed. He waited for Zheng Wenhua to finish speaking and then replied, "My grades are better than yours."

Zheng Wenhua was so angry that he shouted, "It's so unfair, so unfair," and then lay down pretending to be dead.

After returning home in the evening, Sun Zhengguo wanted to talk to his parents about the house, but then he thought better of it! He didn't want his parents to worry. If they asked him where the money for the house came from, he would have a hard time explaining it.

After dinner, Sun Zhengguo finished his homework and prepared to go to bed. Lately, he had been either suffering from insomnia or visiting the black market, and was seriously sleep deprived. His younger brothers and sisters wanted to play with Sun Zhengguo, but they didn't expect that Sun Zhengguo would fall asleep on the bed.

The next morning, Sun Zhengguo started shaking again, and all the fatigue in his body disappeared. He became more energetic in practicing martial arts, enjoyed his meals more, and it was not too late for him to arrive at school. Zheng Wenhua had nothing to say.

At noon, Sun Zhengguo's dining partner was still Zheng Wenhua, but he did not eat well today.

The showy Zheng Wenhua actually brought a schoolmate with him. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Sun Zhengguo exclaimed, "It's an eyesore."

Zheng Wenhua is very happy today, as he finally won a game. It turns out that you, Sun Zhengguo, are not better than me in everything.

After dinner, Zheng Wenhua went to chat with his schoolmate about his ideals, while Sun Zhengguo still used the excuse of having something to do at home and rode his bicycle to Ding Qizhen's house.

"Master, you are here. I worked hard all afternoon yesterday and finally found a small courtyard more than two miles away from here."

Ding Qizhen is an old hand. In fact, he didn't even leave the house. He exaggerated deliberately to make Sun Zhengguo feel more comfortable when paying.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and take a look. If it works, I will give you everything you deserve."

How could Sun Zhengguo not understand what Ding Qizhen said? He was just afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to pay the money, so he spoke directly.

After a while, the two men rode their bikes to a dilapidated courtyard. Since Sun Zhengguo was not living there, he didn't pay much attention to it and just watched from the side.

After seeing the house, I felt it was okay. Although the house was shabby, it was very clean. It had its own door and yard, and there were three rooms inside. The area was sufficient, and there were not many residents nearby, so it would not attract too much attention.

"Uncle Ding, how can I rent this house?"

"Sir! The rent was originally 8 dollars a month, but I reduced it to 6 dollars a month on the grounds that the house was shabby. However, the landlord made a new requirement, requiring a minimum one-year lease."

Ding Qizhen spoke cautiously, fearing that the landlord's request would cause Sun Zhengguo's disgust.

"Okay, the price is fair. Please make arrangements and book this house."

Seeing that Sun Zhengguo agreed, Ding Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.

"Okay! Master, you take a rest first, and leave the rest to me."

Sun Zhengguo didn't have to worry about the rest. Ding Qizhen ran out and found the landlord. Soon both parties signed the rental contract. Sun Zhengguo paid one year's rent and got the key. The matter was settled.

After the landlord left, Ding Qizhen rubbed his fingers embarrassedly. Sun Zhengguo understood immediately and quickly paid the commission to prevent the old man from worrying about it.

At the same time, he told Ding Qizhen again to keep an eye on the small courtyard house and to inform him at school once the owner came back.

Ding Qizhen agreed readily, saying that he could only make some money by renting out the house, while buying the house would be the main source of income.

Now I have a house and can trade it, but there is still one thing missing, which is the bag to put the things in. My head hurts just thinking about it, so forget it, let Tiger Master take care of it.

When he returned to school, it was still early. Seeing the "passionate talent" Zheng Wenhua studying, Sun Zhengguo did not disturb him. Instead, he picked up the textbook on the table and started reading.

After school in the evening, Sun Zhengguo came to the black market and contacted Xiao Hei, who was the man in black who sold tickets that night. His specific name was unknown, but Xiao Hei was his nickname.

"Brother Hei, I have found a location and we can do the transaction tomorrow night."

"So fast, you can do it, bro!"

Xiao Hei said happily, and did not forget to give a thumbs up to praise. After all, it was he who introduced Sun Zhengguo. If the deal was successful, Master Tiger would definitely reward him handsomely.

"But there's a new problem. I have the items to trade, but I don't have that many bags."

Sun Zhengguo said in embarrassment.

"Hey! What am I supposed to do? We'll prepare the bags when they arrive. Anything else?"

Xiao Hei said with confidence that they were in the black market, so how could they be short of bags.

Sun Zhengguo thought for a moment and continued.

"Can you find me some more oilcloths? Otherwise, I have nowhere to put my things. I can't just put them on the ground, right?"

Sun Zhengguo felt a little embarrassed. A few days ago he had boasted to others that he had a lot of supplies and everything they needed. But after searching for a long time, he still didn't even have a bag or oilcloth.

But Xiao Hei didn't care about these details and said happily.

"These are all trivial matters. We have our own warehouse and usually have spare parts. I'll have someone send them to you later."

Sun Zhengguo didn't expect that Tiger Master had everything here. The problems that gave him a headache were no problem at all for him.

Next, Sun Zhengguo explained the time, place, transaction volume and some details again until Xiao Hei said he understood, and then the conversation ended.

After a while, someone brought the oilcloth over. After Sun Zhengguo tied up the oilcloth, he said goodbye and rode away on his bike.

When they got home, it was already dark. Seeing that her son came back a little late, Lin Wencui asked.

“Jungguk, why are you back so late today?”

"Mom, isn't the college entrance exam coming up soon? A few classmates got together and studied for a while."

Sun Zhengguo made up an excuse to get away with it.

Lin Wencui thought her son was really studying, so she stopped asking.

In the evening, after the family finished dinner, Lin Wencui began to clean up the dishes while several children were playing.

There was a sudden cough outside the door!

An unexpected guest arrives, who could it be?
