Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

"How are the conditions at the compound and No. 95 Courtyard?"

Old Yang asked about two other places.

"Both sides have hired people to clean up, and everything is fine. It's just that someone from the 95th courtyard wanted to rent the landlord's house, but I rejected him. He seemed very dissatisfied. I took two strong men to take a look around, and no one said anything anymore!"

After Ma Yu explained the situation, Lao Yang waved his hand and sent him off to prepare dinner.

After Ma Yu left, Lao Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt that it was similar to the tea he drank at Cui Bo's house. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, so he drank it all in one gulp, stood up and went to the backyard.

I'll go see my pregnant wife first. When Lao Yang arrived at the backyard, he found that only one room on the second floor and the hall on the first floor had lights on. He didn't bother looking for them and went straight to the room on the second floor where the lights were on.

As I approached the door, I heard the voices of Li Yuping and Luo Yun talking in the room. They were both very happy and their laughter was very crisp.

"Haha, Sister Yuping, is this true? I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting thing in your company! How did you handle it later?"

Luo Yun was curious about everything. After hearing the gossip in Li Yuping's company, she became interested and started to find out the results.

Li Yuping was also very happy that someone was listening to her sharing, so she happily narrated: "The second generation and the widow had an affair, and it was soon discovered and reported directly. The boy's parents were also very angry, and they directly said that they would not recognize him and told him not to go back. After that, the boy secretly ran away at night, intending to sneak back to the city first, and then find a way to go abroad. After all, he had studied abroad, and always felt that he was freer and more carefree abroad than here. As a result, before he escaped far, he was caught by the men in the village and forced to marry the widow!"

"After this incident broke out, many second-generation people with good backgrounds were called back by their families and transferred to other departments from Xingbang Company. Suddenly, there were fewer young people in the company, and the work went much more smoothly! No one clamored to go to the grassroots level for training anymore. Some of the second-generation people who stayed did have some skills, and they quickly won over a group of people and established a firm foothold in the company. These people were not too excessive, but they had a strong desire for power, controlled the department, and occupied some resources! But at least they didn't do anything too excessive, so everyone turned a blind eye. But it's hard to say in the future. I don't have time to take care of it now that I'm pregnant. No one knows how the company will develop in the end! My sisters and I have all gone to Hong Kong, so I guess this industry will just be thrown away!"

Luo Yun nodded and said, "Yes, yes, sister Yuping is right! It's a pity to throw away such a big business like this! But no one can take care of it, and it's impossible to leave it to my family! These things can't be dealt with by the family. Anyway, your husband has money, so don't think too much. Now you have a baby in your arms, you can rest assured."

Li Yuping looked at Luo Yun, who was a little depressed again, and quickly changed the subject to comfort her: "Xiao Yun, how was your family's situation when you came? Did anyone bully you?"

Sure enough, Luo Yun was diverted by Li Yuping's question, and immediately began to excitedly introduce the situation in Hong Kong.

"Sister Yuping, let me tell you, Sister Haitang is a very nice person. She treats everyone equally and is able to treat everyone equally. Moreover, when I came, Sister Haitang was already pregnant with her second baby. I'm so envious..."

Just when Luo Yun wanted to introduce the family members, Lao Yang came to the door and leaned against the door frame to watch the two people in the room chatting and peeling dried fruits. There were pieces of fruit peels thrown on the ground. Neither of them liked to be clean. The ground was full of peeled fruit peels, thrown in piles. The bedding on the bed was not folded neatly, and the items on the table were also placed in a mess. The main point was that everything you want is available!

Luo Yun happened to see Lao Yang leaning on the door frame. She stood up happily, rushed over, and pulled Lao Yang into the house.

"Hubby, you're finally back! Sister Liping and I missed you so much! Where shall we go tomorrow? How about going to Houhai for ice skating? I practiced hard when I was in Xiangjiang, and I'm sure I'll be very good at it! It's a pity that Sister Yuping is pregnant, otherwise we could play together!"

Li Yuping said, "You guys go tomorrow. I have to go to the company to deal with the handover issue. It will probably take two or three days to complete. It's a good time for you two to go out and have some fun. There's really nothing fun to do in winter. Ice skating is a good choice. Snowball fights are also fine!"

"Honey, have you told them to cook? It's getting late, it's time to arrange dinner. I'll go inform Mayu to arrange dinner."

Li Yuping was also very happy to see Lao Yang coming back. Seeing that it was getting late, she prepared to arrange dinner.

Old Yang came forward and embraced Li Yuping, holding her on his legs, and said in a rare voice: "Pay attention to your daily life in the future, and don't tire yourself out. When you arrive in Hong Kong, you will have a dedicated servant to serve you. They have served the other sisters and are very experienced! Don't be negligent. Before I came up, I asked Ma Yu to prepare dinner. You just sit with me for a while! What interesting things did you two talk about just now? I heard your cheerful laughter from a long distance!"

Old Yang motioned Luo Yun to sit over and listen to what the two were talking about.

Luo Yun is a gossipy person. She was very happy when she heard Lao Yang's question. She immediately came over and started telling Lao Yang the gossip about the new goods.

"Sister Ping told me a lot of interesting things this afternoon. There are a lot of people in their company, and there are a lot of gossips circulating. Let me tell you! It's like this..."

Luo Yun repeated the gossip that Li Yuping had told Lao Yang this afternoon, adding some of her own understanding to make it more vivid and funny. Lao Yang and Li Yuping were also amused and laughed until dinner was ready and Ma Yu came to call the three of them to eat.

Luo Yun pouted, and said with a hint of unsatisfaction: "It's time to eat so soon, and I haven't finished yet! But it's okay, I'll tell you again tonight after dinner!"

Old Yang held one of them in each hand, and the three of them went to the restaurant downstairs to eat. Ma Yu led a few hired workers to set up the prepared food and then left. The three of them sat at the table, eating and chatting.

Old Yang talked about his visit to Cui Bo this afternoon and his encounter with Zhao Changbao on the way, and told Luo Yun and Li Yuping about his plan to recruit some people to Hong Kong. The two were very curious about why Old Yang did this, and Old Yang smiled and explained that it was just some bad fun, and he wanted to see the impact of different lives and paths on people.

The two girls didn't delve into it, and soon forgot about it while they ate and talked. After the three of them finished eating, they went to the living room together, turned on the TV, and chatted casually while watching TV.

"Honey, the TV here is so boring, and there is only one channel!" Luo Yun was the first to speak out.

Old Yang nodded in approval and said, "Well, you're right. There's really nothing to watch! The domestic television industry has just started, the technology is relatively backward, and the control is strict. But only people like you who are used to watching TV would complain like this. I don't know how many people outside want to watch it but can't!"

Luo Yun didn't care what Lao Yang said, she just complained: "I stayed abroad for too long, I'm really not used to it after coming back, many things feel so backward!"

Li Yuping also said, "Well, the current situation in China is still not optimistic. Famine has only just been resolved, but there is still a long way to go before people can have enough food and clothing! People's living standards still need to be improved. This time when I go to Hong Kong, I must learn more about it, so that I can use it to build the motherland in the future!"

Li Yuping's thoughts are still in line with the domestic trends and have not been corrupted in any way. She considers issues from the perspective of the country. She is an ideal, ambitious and progressive young man!
