Cao Anping arrived at the guesthouse and was able to check in smoothly because of his letter of introduction.

The room in the guesthouse was very simple, with only a small bed and not even a table.

Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go for a walk on the street and try to go towards No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. If it was appropriate, he could go into the yard and take a look to see if he could activate the system.

Maybe he just needs to enter the yard instead of moving in. Wouldn't that be a big win? After all, he still dislikes that yard. There's nothing he can do. I've read too many fan fictions and feel that this is too complicated.

Cao Anping asked for directions twice before he arrived at Nanluoguxiang, and followed the house number to the gate of No. 95.

This gate is quite grand. It must have been where a nobleman lived in the past.

"Who are you looking for, young man?" As he was looking at the gate of the courtyard, a little old man rushed out from behind the door and asked with some caution.

Cao Anping took a look and saw that it was a man in his forties, thin and wearing a pair of glasses. He looked kind, but his small eyes showed a shrewd look.

Isn't this the third uncle of the Siheyuan, Yan Bugui? The third uncle is known for his good calculations. He came forward to interrogate us so quickly, and it was obvious that he had been guarding behind the door.

Hongxing Primary School is a little further away by one mile than the steel rolling mill, but Yan Bugui always goes home early to guard the gate, which shows that he often leaves early.

"Hello, comrade. My name is Cao Anping. I'm Xu Damao's friend. I came to see him for something."

In this courtyard, Cao Anping only knew Xu Damao, so he just said it casually. He couldn't say that he was looking for Qin Huairu. If any misunderstanding occurred, he would be blamed.

"Xu Damao has not returned from the countryside to show movies yet, but tomorrow is Sunday, so he should be back today. Why don't you wait here?"

Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and reminded him, "I'm the uncle in charge of this hospital. You can call me Uncle Three. Where do you work, Xiao Cao?"

The reason why he came back early to guard the gate was because he calculated that Xu Damao might come back today. In this year, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a bargain. Only Xu Damao can get good things by going to the countryside, and he cannot miss it.

Cao Anping was speechless. He was not a resident of the courtyard, so he didn't want to call him "Uncle". However, he still wanted to stroll around the courtyard, so he replied, "Hello, Uncle. I'm a doctor."

Hearing that Cao Anping was a doctor, Yan Bugui's tone became a little more friendly. He rolled his eyes and thought: "Since he is Xu Damao's friend, if I take care of him a little, wouldn't it also be helping Xu Damao? Maybe I can get more benefits."

So he said, "Why don't you come in and sit down and have a glass of water? It's quite cold outside."

Cao Anping didn't even know that today was Saturday. He didn't expect Xu Damao to come back today, and he didn't care. However, he came to Courtyard 95 just to see if he could activate the system, so he replied, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle San."

Yan Bugui led Cao Anping into the courtyard, came to his door, and went into the house himself.

Cao Anping was standing outside Yan Bugui's house. He seemed to be looking at the flowers and plants, but in fact his consciousness had already called the system, "Start the lottery!"

"The lottery system has not been activated. Please check in at the plot point to activate the system." It was still an emotionless electronic voice.

Cao Anping was not disappointed. He just wanted to give it a try. The result was just as he expected.

Yan Bugui came out of the room, handed a glass of water to Cao Anping, and said, "Little Cao, come and have a drink of water."

Cao Anping took the cup and was about to thank him when he found it was cold water. He felt unhappy. It was so cold to ask someone to drink cold water, which was really rude. So he returned it and said, "I'm not thirsty."

Yan Bugui thought to himself, even if you don't drink it, it's still a treat for you. There's no need to burn coal to boil water. Young man, you don't know how to be frugal.

"Comrade, I won't wait any longer. Come and see Xu Damao tomorrow." Uncle Cao Anping was too lazy to call out. He failed to sign in. He felt uncomfortable staying in this yard, so he prepared to go back to the guesthouse.

Why didn't he call him Uncle? Yan Bugui's impression of Cao Anping declined a little, but he still asked, "How about you give me ten cents and I'll tell Xu Damao that you've come to see him?"

Cao Anping almost fell down when he heard this. I look like a fool. He quickened his pace and replied, "No need."

"Hey, five points is fine. How about we talk about it?" Yan Bugui thought that the situation could still be salvaged and that young people were easy to fool, so he chased after him.

Just as he reached the door, he saw Xu Damao coming back pushing a bicycle. Yan Bugui didn't care about Cao Anping at all and ran to meet him. When he saw a few bags hanging on the handlebars of the bicycle, he asked with a smile on his face:

"Da Mao is back. He got a good harvest this time in the countryside." He said as he opened the bag and looked inside.

Before Xu Damao could respond to Yan Bugui, he saw Cao Anping and said with some surprise: "Brother Anping, when did you enter the city?"

Without even a word to respond to Yan Bugui, he had already picked up a rabbit from the bag, his eyes shining.

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly snatched the rabbit back, stuffed it into his bag, picked up a bunch of fungus and handed it to Yan Bugui, saying, "Uncle, don't even think about the rabbit. I brought it for my wife."

In fact, the gains from this trip to the countryside were much less than before. After all, life in the countryside was not easy. Xu Damao was not stingy. He knew Yan Bugui's character and he didn't care about those few things.

Cao Anping found it funny, so he replied, "I came to the city to buy medicinal herbs. I had nothing better to do but wander around and come to see you to get acquainted."

Yan Bugui took the fungus and did not leave. He continued, "Da Mao, your friend came to see you and was treated by the third uncle. He even offered him some water, right, Xiao Cao?" After saying that, he stared at Xu Damao's bag again.

Cao Anping rolled his eyes, feeling too embarrassed to look at him. Although Yan Bugui was not a wicked person, he was really a bit annoying.

Xu Damao was also helpless, so he took out a handful of peanuts and quickly sent Yan Bugui away.

Yan Bugui then put the peanuts into his pocket, picked up the fungus and went back to the gate to act as a door god, but his eyes never left Cao Anping and the other man.

"Brother Anping, you haven't eaten yet? Come to my house for a drink. I have two bottles of good wine and rabbits." Xu Damao invited Cao Anping only after he dealt with Yan Bugui.

"Don't bother you anymore. I'll go back to the guesthouse." Although Cao Anping also wanted to eat good food, he was too embarrassed to come to the house for dinner as he had nothing in his hands.

"Hey, don't. What's the point of drinking alone? Besides, I have something I want to ask you, Brother Anping." Xu Damao grabbed Cao Anping and didn't let him leave.

As soon as Xu Damao heard that Cao Anping went into the city to buy medicine, he had an idea. Since he had bought new medicinal materials, he could sell Cao Anping's stock to him.

I was showing a movie in another village last night, and I couldn't help but take two Dragon Essence Tiger Meng Pills in one night. Now I only have two left, and I plan to give one to Deputy Director Li.

He also wanted to go back to the city, so that he could show Lou Xiao'e more of his masculinity as Xu Damao, and by the way, he could also apply for more money.

Cao Anping guessed what Xu Damao was up to. He happened to still have five of them. If he could exchange them for more money, he would have more confidence when going to the black market at night. So he agreed and followed Xu Damao into the courtyard.
