Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

The total cost was nearly three hundred yuan, which was a bit expensive, but Zhao Shanhe was also in pain and happiness.

It’s not that Zhao Shanhe has to buy such furniture, but the difference between this thing and the one at home is like heaven and earth. Besides, it will be very face-saving to put this thing in the house when guests come. If you have money, you should love life more, otherwise why save the money?

After paying the money, Zhao Shanhe waited at the door of the store. Although the store had agreed to deliver the goods to his door, he felt uneasy if he didn't watch over such valuable furniture all the way.

The commissioned store sent two people and a three-wheeled cart, which followed Zhao Shanhe all the way back to the courtyard. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he gave the two craftsmen fifty cents each and asked them to help carry the furniture directly into the house and put it away. This time, the house looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Don't think that one dollar is a lot of money to move something. If Zhao Shanhe were asked to move this mahogany furniture himself, he wouldn't be able to do it even with his small body and all his strength.

As for the old furniture, he threw it directly at the door of the room. Less than 10 minutes after he took it out, the three aunties who had just become neighbors across the street came knocking on the door.

"Shanhe, are you home? Are you planning to throw away the old furniture at your door?"

When Zhao Shanhe saw that it was the third aunt who came, he understood their purpose. Fortunately, Jia Zhang had not returned from the hospital, and the other residents were either at work or in the middle yard and back yard and did not come to the front yard, otherwise these old furniture at the door would definitely cause a disturbance.

"No, Auntie, if you need it, just move out."

Although the third aunt is a middle-aged woman, she seems to have endless energy when it comes to taking advantage. When she heard Zhao Shanhe say that he didn't want it, she immediately dragged these broken tables and chairs to her doorstep.

Zhao Shanhe simply cleaned the house, and when it was noon, he entered the small world. Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, which meant more than a hundred days had passed in the small world. The place had completely changed.

The fruit trees on several hills that were absorbed from Mangshan are already full of flowers. It is estimated that they will bear fruit before the Spring Festival. They don’t even need bees for pollination. It is really magical.

He took two corn cobs from the static space and started a fire with the firewood that had been prepared beside the wooden house. Today he planned to try roasted corn, but it was a pity that there was no garlic sauce.

After a short while, the corn was roasted and smelled fragrant. He ate it all in one go after it was fully cooked. When the heat flow appeared again, Zhao Shanhe felt something was wrong. His muscles felt slightly torn, and after being quickly repaired by the heat flow, he seemed to have gained some strength. He went out of the small world and tried the rosewood furniture. After trying it, he realized that he was overthinking. He still couldn't move it. It seemed that he had to eat more to try out whether his body had mutated.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, and he didn't want to go out and wander around in the cold weather, so he read a book and took a nap in his little world. When he woke up and came out, it was time for the steel mill to get off work. Just as he opened the door to go out, he heard two people arguing at the gate of the yard. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Lao Liu and Lao Yi.

"Yi Zhonghai, your apprentice's family is a bit too much, isn't it? Who would spend a hundred yuan to see a doctor? Last time, Lao Li's leg was broken in our forging workshop, and it only cost less than 20 yuan. Are they trying to blackmail me?"

"Old Liu, listen to me.

Jia Zhang is old, and is afraid that living in the courtyard will affect her recovery, so she wants to stay in the hospital for a few more days. After all, there are doctors and nurses there who can treat her at any time. It doesn't cost money to see a doctor, but it costs money to stay in the hospital. You can just give me another 50 yuan, and the matter will be settled. What do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai was also helpless at this time. As a senior fitter, his medical expenses for seeing a doctor and getting medicine were naturally fully reimbursed by the factory, so he did not take the 100 yuan hospitalization fee seriously. When he went to the factory to ask Liu Haizhong for money today, the two of them argued for a while before he remembered that Jia Zhang was not an employee of the factory.

Liu Haizhong was naturally not happy about having to spend so much money without being reimbursed, so they parted on bad terms. When it was time to get off work, Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong and said a few more words to him, which intensified the conflict. The two quarreled all the way to the yard.

"No matter what, Lao Yi, just give up on this idea. Even if you call the police or go to the street office now, I won't pay a penny. I don't believe there is no place for reason in this world."

Seeing Liu Haizhong flicking his sleeves and going back to the backyard, Yi Zhonghai had no other choice but to look at Jia Dongxu beside him and said.

"Dongxu, go check on Banggeng first, then go get your wife after dinner at my house. She has been taking care of your mother in the hospital for a whole day while she is pregnant, and it's not easy for her."

"Okay, Master. I'll listen to you."

Apart from other things, Jia Dongxu has done a great job in this aspect. He listens to whatever Yi Zhonghai says, and his main characteristics are that he is obedient and has no temper.

Just as the master and the disciple entered the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu came in with a lunch box. He was very satisfied with what Zhao Shanhe and the second uncle did yesterday. It was because Liu Haizhong and he had always been at odds.

"Shanhe, have you eaten? If not, I brought some leftovers today. Do you want to come to my house for a drink? I also have some peanuts hidden at home."

If Sha Zhu had not been obsessed with Qin Huairu's beauty, Zhao Shanhe would really be willing to make friends with him. After all, in these years of food and clothing shortages, having a chef friend can solve many problems.

However, when he thought about how Qin Huairu had manipulated Sha Zhu with a simple trick last night, he became a little hesitant.

"Silly Zhu, I had lunch late so I'm not very hungry. You can take it back and give it to Yu Shui. I think she will be out of school soon. I'll go to you for a drink when I catch some fish."

Sha Zhu chuckled and replied happily.

"Okay, let's talk about it next time.

By the way, the factory brought back several hundred kilograms of fish a few days ago, saying that they were for the New Year's Day party. You should keep an eye on the time and don't miss it if you are not at work. I heard that they will cook four dishes this time. When the time comes, come to my brother's cafeteria and I will let you taste the fish I cook."

As the two were chatting, the last wave of workers getting off work returned to the yard, led by Xu Damao and Xu Wude.

The father and son just came back from the countryside at noon today. The bad thing about projectionists is that they have nothing to do during the busy farming season, but they are extremely busy during the slack season. The coldest time of winter is also the most idle time in the countryside, so the Propaganda Department's schedule for showing movies in the countryside has been scheduled until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.

As soon as Xu Damao saw Zhao Shanhe, he started complaining.

"Shanhe, you are so mean. If you had given me your back room for one more day, it wouldn't have been rented out by someone else in the yard. Now it's all gone to Li Wenxi's family."
