Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the brother and sister were greeted by Yan Bugui's surprised gaze: "Donglai, why are you buying so many things?"

Every Saturday and Sunday, Yan Bugui would stand guard at the gate of the yard all day, under the pretext of taking care of the flowers and plants.

But in fact, he had his own plan. This was the only door in and out of the courtyard, so he could see clearly who brought anything back.

Whenever he saw a neighbor carrying things, he would step forward and lend a hand, so that others would not let him go back empty-handed.

Another thing is that the first thing he did when he got up every morning was to open the gate of the courtyard, and then close the gate at night.

Relying on the influence of the third uncle in the courtyard, every household has to give him some benefits.

However, Yan Bugui seemed to have underestimated the financial situation of the Lin family. He thought that the Lin family would be penniless after the death of their parents.

I didn't expect that the brother and sister bought so much rice and flour. Their pockets were bulging with food, which was quite a lot.

It was obvious at a glance that Lin's parents had left some money for him, and Yan Bugui regretted his previous actions.

Lin Donglai looked at Yan Bugui with a half-smile and replied slowly, "Yes, Third Uncle, people have to eat when they are alive."

Yan Bugui nodded repeatedly: "That's right, by the way, Donglai, do you need help from the third uncle and aunt? I see that your family is in such a bad condition that I'm afraid you don't even have coal for cooking.

How about this, you leave the food at our house, cook the meal and then bring Dongyi over to eat together, what do you think?"

When Lin Dongyi heard what Yan Bugui said, he pulled his brother's sleeve tightly and said, "Brother, I just want to eat at home."

It's no wonder the little girl reacted like that. During the time when the Lin family was in trouble, she went to the Yan family for help, but every time Yan Bugui found various excuses to push her away.

When it was time to eat, they wouldn't even let Lin Dongyi in, for fear that she would eat their food and have nothing to give in return. After doing this several times, the little girl wasn't stupid and naturally stayed away from the Yan family.

Lin Donglai looked at his sister's nervous expression and knew what had happened before just by using his toes.

He looked down at his sister, patted her hands comfortingly, and raised his head to reply: "Third Uncle, I don't think it's a good thing! Don't bother with this matter. I can cook. We can find a way to solve the problem if there is anything missing at home."

Lin Donglai thought that when the Lin family needed help, Yan Bugui stayed away, but now he came over.

If I really went to Yan Bugui's house for dinner as he said, I would probably finish all the food I bought within three days.

Not to mention anything else, there are so many people in the Yan family, and eating at his house is equivalent to taking on the food rations for his entire family.

It sounds like a good plan, but there’s no way this is going to happen!

Watching the backs of Lin Donglai and his sister walking away, Yan Bugui felt as if he had lost a lot of money. He no longer had the mood to water the flowers or trim the leaves. He returned home muttering to himself.

After returning home, Lin Donglai searched the house carefully. It was found that everything was missing. It was not an exaggeration to describe the house as bare.

Fortunately, when Lin's father was alive, he was a hardworking man. He prepared a lot of dry firewood for the house and piled it by the door.

But that didn't stop some petty-minded people in the courtyard from taking things at will every now and then, with the Jia family in the Central Courtyard being the most obvious example.

Although there is only a layer of dry firewood piled up by the door, it is enough to cook a few meals.

I will get some coal to burn when conditions permit in the future, but since I can’t afford coal now, I still have to go to the mountains to chop wood.

As the saying goes, carbohydrates make people sleepy.

Before the time travel, Lin Donglai had the habit of taking a nap at a certain time. After putting down the things he bought and settling his sister down, he lay on the bed, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and fell asleep.

In the dream, sometimes it was the scene of working before traveling through time, and sometimes it turned into the sad past of the original owner.

Just as these memories were tangled together, suddenly, he heard a prompt to activate the sign-in system!

This made Lin Donglai a little excited. Just when he wanted to try out the system, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

Looking at the dark roof, he felt a little disappointed.

Alas! It was just a dream after all. It would be great if there really was a system!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for activating the sign-in system]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the newbie gift package and portable space]

[The sign-in system can provide you with countless resources, and the system space will be upgraded according to the host's needs]

[Storing food in the space will keep it fresh forever. Drinking the spiritual spring water in the space can help strengthen your physical fitness.]

[This sign-in reward: five cornmeal steamed buns and five white flour steamed buns. Would you like to sign for them?]

As the system's cold prompt sounds kept appearing in his mind one after another, Lin Donglai was overjoyed at first.

After the system announced the sign-in reward, he was still stunned: The reward is too little, this is not the way to play.

But then he thought about his family's situation. If the reward given by the system was too much, he wouldn't be able to use it for food and drink, so he quickly answered with his consciousness: Sign for it.

Nowadays, no matter what you want to buy, you need more than money, you also need a ticket.

The monthly money bills received by each household are also displayed clearly and can be seen at a glance, so it is not easy to forge them.

What's more, the neighbors around the courtyard where my family lives are definitely not good people.

Yan Bugui, the calculating man in the front yard, is considered good. He only makes calculations openly, and if he is not happy, he can just refuse openly.

The Jia family in the Central Courtyard is the most powerful. If any of their families has anything delicious and it gets to know about it by Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, it would be a disaster.

First, Bang Geng would cry and beg for food, and then Jia Zhang would ask her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu to come and ask for food.

It would be fine if he could get it, but if the neighbor refuses to give it to him, Jia Zhang will use his ultimate move - the summoning of the undead.

Because of things like this, the courtyard was often in chaos and there was no peace.

Firstly, the neighbors felt sorry for her family, and secondly, they couldn't afford to offend Jia Zhang, so they dared not say anything.

Thinking of this, Lin Donglai slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had received the reward, he would take another look at the space.

With a flash of thought, he came to a meadow.

In the middle of the green lawn is a wooden house. Next to the house is a spring with clear water flowing gently.

Lin Donglai had just woken up and was thirsty. He couldn't help but draw some spring water with his hands and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking the spring water, he immediately felt his body filled with energy, and his internal organs seemed to be cleansed.

Next, Lin Donglai walked into the wooden house. There was nothing else in the house except the ten steamed buns that the system had just rewarded him.

Lin Donglai couldn't help but sigh: The space for system rewards doesn't seem to be as big as the legend says.

Despite this, Lin Donglai already felt very satisfied. It was better than having nothing like before.

Since drinking the spring water in the space makes the body feel so comfortable, why not give some to my sister as well. Only when the body is strong can one not get sick easily.

Once you think of it, you should do it. Lin Donglai took the water bucket from home to the space and filled it with spring water before leaving the space.

At this time, the little girl was sitting at the door of the house with a pale face, playing by herself. She dared to open the door only when she heard the noise in the house, for she was afraid of waking up her brother.

He called his sister: "Dongyi, let's eat."

There were steamed buns in the space, so he took out four and then cooked some corn paste with spring water.

"Brother, I'll be there right away!" The little girl had been hungry for a long time. When she heard her brother calling her, she quickly went into the house and set the table.

The brother and sister each had two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge and had another delicious meal.

After dinner, Lin Donglai said to the little girl, "Dongyi, I'm going to the mountains to chop some firewood. You stay at home and wait for me to come back. OK?"

"Okay, brother, you must come back early!" The little girl looked worried and nodded reluctantly.

Lin Donglai smiled and said goodbye to his sister, then he carried his axe and rope on his back and walked out the door...
