Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Muhua's four children quickly hid in the house and started to pack up their things.

But now supplies were so scarce that after the three brothers removed the tables, chairs, and cabinets that they did not need to take away, all that was left were some cotton-padded clothes, quilts, books, homework and other sundries.

The three of them cleaned up quickly, and soon the house was clean, then rushed into the living room.

But in the end they were not able to escape. Firstly, Yan Bugui insisted that they stay and insisted that they could not leave on the same day they said goodbye. Secondly, he wanted to wait for all the neighbors in the courtyard to come back in the evening and hold a farewell party for the Li family.

As they had lived next door to each other for more than ten years, the neighbors insisted on keeping them, and Li Haifu had no choice but to say that he would stay for one more day.

At noon, Xu Yan went out and bought some meat and vegetables at the vegetable market. Yan Bugui came to her door with two bottles of wine.

Yan Bugui was complaining at the dinner table, and his tone was so sour that Li Muhua felt that the chopsticks were made of vinegar.

He said Li Muhua was heartless and actually cheated him about the royalties - he was Li Muhua's teacher, uncle, etc...

Originally he claimed several hundred yuan for his writing, and now he asked for more than five thousand yuan to buy the yard. Li Muhua felt that he was in the wrong, so he could only say weakly that he had just paid the difference two days ago.

Yan Bugui was already suspicious, so how could he believe Li Muhua's explanation at this moment!

But he didn't point it out, and just started to congratulate Li Haifu on his new home, and praised Li Muhua for her promising future, saying that he could enjoy a good life and so on~~

Yan Bugui came here specifically to build relationships. He just wanted to take the initiative and stand on the moral high ground to make the Li family feel guilty. Naturally, he would not dwell on the Li family's mistakes and seek misfortune for them.

Afterwards, Li Haifu and Xu Yan also expressed their gratitude to Yan Bugui, thanking him for taking care of them for so many years and for teaching their children.

With the efforts of both parties, the lunch ended successfully!

Yan Bugui stood up and staggered, but refused to let Li Haifu support him.

He walked towards Yan's house alone with a somewhat sad back. After entering the door, he was greeted by an old lady who questioned him. He said nothing and just lay down on the recliner.

When he came to his senses at this moment, he just felt that he was not taken seriously by the Li family. They kept the matter of royalties from him, the matter of buying a yard from him, everything from him!

Yan Bugui felt bitter. He had wanted to exchange marriages with the Li family before, but in the end, his sincerity was misplaced...

Here, Yan Bugui was drunk and feeling sad, and the Li family was also in unrest, with many aunts coming to their house to build relationships.

In the past, they often asked Xu Yan to buy cheap goods in the mall. Every time the mall wanted to sell cheap goods, she would inform the courtyard in advance, allowing many people to take advantage of it. Now that she is moving away, everyone will no longer be able to take advantage of it, so naturally they are reluctant to give up.

But even before leaving, they still have to maintain this relationship. Maybe they will need to go to the mall to ask Xu Yan for help when they want to buy something in the future!

The Li family's residence remained bustling until the evening. As the neighbors who went to work returned to the compound, the entrance to the Li family was suddenly surrounded by crowds of people. Even several people from the He family came to join in the fun.

Xu Yan took out the melon seeds and peanuts she had bought in the afternoon. The three brothers moved among the crowd, adding hot water to everyone's cups from time to time, as if they were having an open-air tea party.

It was not until the night fell that the crowd gradually dispersed. Yan Bugui also spent a lot of money and brought two bottles of Erguotou to the door.

"Old Li, you are my dearest brother in the whole yard. Once you move out tomorrow, it will be difficult for us to meet again. Today we must get drunk together!"

The atmosphere of farewell was so heavy today that Li Haifu was also deeply touched. From now on, his family would live alone in a yard, and there wouldn't be so many lively neighbors!

Then I thought that Mr. Yanbu was a good man who had never done anything dirty, and they had been friends for more than ten years.

Li Haifu felt a flash of pity in his heart, and the scene of the two of them drinking and chatting happily in the backyard came to his mind vividly.

He said sadly: "Old Yan, the city is not big. You can visit my house in the future by bus for only three cents, but you can ride a bike and not even spend half a steamed bun."

"What's the matter? You don't even want to spend three cents to go to my house?"

After hearing what Li Haifu said, Yan Bugui grinned and said, "Am I that kind of person? Wait, I'll go and meet you tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Li Haifu agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Li Haifu agreed so readily and that the relationship between the two families could be maintained in the future, Yan Bugui's gloom in the afternoon dissipated a little.

Thinking of the idea he had come up with in the afternoon, he glanced around the room and asked Yan Bugui, "You're moving out tomorrow, so do you plan to leave this room empty or return it to the company?"

Yan Bugui stared at Li Haifu with sharp eyes. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li from his family have been married for more than two years, and now the couple still has no house to live in!

Li Haifu waved his hand and said, "No, why should we return the house that the company allocated to us? I want to keep this house for my retirement, and then I can continue drinking with you!"

There was a flash of joy in Yan Bugui's eyes. As long as the Li family didn't plan to move out, his little plan would work.

Restraining his joy, Yan Bugui looked at Li Haifu and asked tentatively, "Don't even mention retirement. You still have 20 years to retire. Your house will be empty for 20 years."

"Will it not be completely destroyed? Will people still be able to live there?"

Li Haifu understood the hidden meaning of Yan Bugui's words. Instead of leaving the house vacant for twenty years and ruining it to the point where it could not be lived in, as Yan Bugui said, it would be better to let Xu Yan come back regularly to clean it.

He even wanted to lend the house to Yan Bugui's family.

"Old Yan, let's be frank. I know your family doesn't have a house to live in and that we are short of housing. I can lend you this empty room, but only until Li Muhua gets married. Then I have to move back. I have to charge you rent every month for these years, but it's only one dollar a month. Isn't that too much?"

Li Haifu looked at Yan Bugui with a slightly gloomy gaze.

Yan Bugui was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Not too much, not too much. It's hard to find a room this big for even three or five dollars, let alone one dollar a month!"

Li Haifu laughed and scolded: "That's fine, three or five yuan is hard to find, so I'll charge you five..."

Li Muhua standing next to him had a look of confusion in his eyes. He was worried about Yan Bugui's character. He was afraid that he would not be able to take advantage of him enough and it would be troublesome for him to get a house in the future.

Unable to help but walk closer, Li Muhua was about to open his mouth when Li Haifu winked at him.

He said, "Muhua, you have a pen, use it to write a contract and show it to your uncle. From now on, the one dollar rent per month will be your pocket money."

Li Muhua didn't know what kind of medicine Li Haifu was selling, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get it right away!"

When Li Haifu saw Li Muhua leaving, he looked at Yan Bugui and said, "If it were me, you should thank Muhua, not me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to afford a house! So this one dollar rent can be considered as his pocket money..."

Li Haifu explained the purpose of this move, fearing that Yan Bugui would think too much.

Yan Bugui completely resolved the grudge he had in the afternoon and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what happened. I've seen that Li Muhua is the most promising one in your family. I even had a quarrel with those people in the courtyard who have long hair and short vision because of this..."

The two of them had a pleasant conversation. Li Muhua walked in with a pen and a notebook, and Yan Bugui looked at him with a smile.

"Write it!"

Li Haifu said: "You, the great writer Li, can even write a book, so you don't need an old man to teach you how to write a rental contract!"

"Just write it!" Li Muhua was so excited that she agreed immediately.

"Rental contract, now 1966..." Li Muhua wrote and read, and Yan Bugui smiled and nodded.

"The house will be returned when Li Muhua gets married..." Li Muhua frowned and looked at the two of them and said, "This is not a date either. How about we set it to twelve years from now?"

"Twelve years later?"

Li Haifu's eyes widened and he cursed: "In twelve years, you will be 26!"

"What? You want to be a fool?"
