Siheyuan: Since 51

The brigade commander smiled proudly and said, "Boss, this statue of mine was carved by someone else on his own initiative and given to me as a gift. How can you find someone else to do it?"

The boss couldn't help but be startled, then chuckled and said, "That makes sense."

Next to him, Chen Lian joked, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, why don't I believe it? Tell me, what conspiracy did you use and how did it come about?"

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows and pretended to be displeased.

"Chen Lian, you don't even call me brother-in-law? In this respect, you are not as good as your Xiaomei. Even though I am the matchmaker, she always calls me brother-in-law."

Chen Lian snorted, "I didn't call you Chen the Cripple, so just be content!"

Tan Zheng smiled and asked: "Okay, brother-in-law, you better tell me where the statue came from!"

The brigade commander smiled heartily and asked, "Do you still remember the crazy scholar?"

"Him? How could I possibly forget?"

The boss raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "It's their turn to guard the command post, but this guy is so good that he used my command post as bait and went crazy for a while!"

Everyone present laughed secretly.

Qin Zheng smiled and asked, "Boss, what is the result? Is the command post safe?"

The brigade commander also added, "This tactic of encircling and attacking the reinforcements not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese and the puppet army, but also made the Japanese lose their way. For more than half a year, no one would believe you even if you mentioned the location of the command post."

The boss nodded and smiled, "This kid is a genius, but..."

Then he clapped his hands and said, "That's right, you didn't even tell me in advance, and I couldn't sleep for several nights."

"Hahaha!"

……

Time flies and it is the end of September.

During this period, Lin Zhiyuan visited the brigade commander's home and met many people. With the brigade commander's implicit reminder, he made a few more statues.

The courtyard is calm and peaceful.

The steel rolling mill is also in good order.

The only thing to mention is that Lin Zhiyuan has been promoted to deputy director, administrative level 16, with a salary of 113 yuan, and his title and position are finally in line with each other.

September 9th, the twelfth day of the eighth lunar month.

Early in the morning, when it was still light, Lin Jialiang and his wife went out.

Lin Zhiyuan also rode his bicycle specially. After get off work, he went around for more than half an hour and returned to Xiaokuayuan carrying a chicken, two fish, a roast duck, as well as Fenjiu and Beibingyang.

Qin Huairu was enjoying the cool under a tree. Seeing this, she was immediately delighted and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, look at you. You are wasting money again."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and replied, "Well, isn't today special?"

It’s great that I can marry Brother Zhiyuan. It’s the greatest luck in my life.

Qin Huairu's heart was as sweet as honey, and she said coquettishly, "We are already an old couple, and you still celebrate my birthday? There is no need."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't explain, just smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

Beside her, Lin Manyu joked.

"Oh my, brother and sister-in-law, you two are going a bit too far!"

Qin Huairu smiled and said jokingly, "Don't be impatient, Xiaoyu. In two years, I will find a good man for you."

Hearing this, Lin Manyu couldn't help but feel shy, "Sister-in-law!"

……

Lin Zhiyuan hummed a little tune while busying himself in the kitchen for more than two hours, and finally the meal was ready.

After waiting for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jialiang, who had gone out to pick stars, finally came back.

Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly greeted, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, please take a seat quickly. Haven't you had dinner yet?"

Lin Zhihao grumbled, "Mom and Dad, you're finally back. I'm starving."

Lin Manyu also smiled and said, "Today is my sister-in-law's birthday. Look how sumptuous my brother has prepared."

Wu Xia glanced sideways at Lin Jialiang and snorted.

"Zhiyuan, you are much better than your second uncle. I guess he doesn't even remember my birthday."

Lin Jialiang raised an eyebrow, "How is that possible?"

Wu Xia was about to speak again when Xiao Shufan lifted up his shirt and patted his belly.

"Grandpa, grandma, look, my stomach has shrunk due to hunger."

Little Chao Yun blinked his big eyes and followed closely behind.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm so hungry, I can't even stand up straight."

Xiao Xingkang nodded vigorously, "Uncle Grandpa, Aunt Grandma, me too."

If we were to ask who had the most comfortable life in the courtyard, it would definitely be these three little guys. Among the three families of Qin, Wang, and Lin, they would eat at whichever family had the best food.

Wu Xia didn't bother to argue with Lin Jialiang, and walked forward with a smile, "Hey, don't let our three little darlings go hungry, let's have dinner now."

Everyone took their seats.

Lin Zhiyuan and his nephew drank Fenjiu, and the rest of the people drank Arctic Ocean. They talked and laughed, and had a great time.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The three little guys ate and drank their fill, and left the table early to go out and have fun.

Lin Zhihao and Lin Manyu also went back to their rooms to study.

Even Qin Huairu was very sensible. She stood up and said, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you guys chat for a while. I'll go to my mother's place."

After Qin Huairu left, there were only three people left in the room.

Lin Zhiyuan picked up the wine glass and asked with a smile, "Second Uncle, how many stars did you pick?"

After clinking glasses, Lin Jialiang winked and said, "It's less than your second aunt. I only have two, and she has four."

Wu Xia rolled her eyes and snorted, "Why don't you tell me that I have two more bars than you?"

Lin Jialiang smiled cheerfully, "Yes, yes, yes, look at me, your second aunt has two more bars and two more stars than me."

Lin Zhiyuan smacked his lips and jokingly said, "Second Uncle, isn't this right? Second Aunt is the head of the family, she has more than you, don't you accept it?"

Lin Jialiang raised his eyebrows and immediately admitted defeat, "I've been convinced for more than ten years."

"Stop teasing me."

Wu Xia said angrily, then felt a little regretful.

"The brigade commander helped me. I crossed the river, but I still couldn't remove the two bars. It's a bit regrettable."

Lin Zhiyuan quickly comforted her, "Second Aunt, don't underestimate yourself. With two bars and four stars, women are no less capable than men."

Lin Jialiang also echoed, "That's right, only Sister Li didn't argue. When she joined the organization, we were not yet a big boss."

"Well, can't I understand?"

Wu Xia sighed softly, "I understand, but who wouldn't feel sorry for such a big thing?"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Second Aunt, don't be discouraged. There will be opportunities in the future."

Wu Xia glanced at Lin Jialiang and smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid there's no chance. I guess I'll have to be transferred."

Having learned from previous lessons, Lin Zhiyuan did not dare to ask more questions for fear of involving confidential information.

Lin Jialiang took the initiative to say, "In half a month, I will return to Guangxi Province. Your second aunt will leave the army."

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but frown, "Why?"

Wu Xia said leisurely: "Maintaining stability."

"It's unrealistic for a husband and wife to have all the real power."

Lin Jialiang added an explanation slowly and then changed the subject.

"Your Second Aunt has made a sacrifice, and the organization will most likely compensate me. It's okay for me to go to Guangxi Province and take up a sinecure, but you know the environment there, and she won't be able to stand it."

As he said this, he looked at Wu Xia lovingly, "Xiao Xia, you haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness with me, and now we have to live apart again. I am sorry for you."

Wu Xia was slightly startled, then she laughed and scolded: "What are you talking about? It's as if I can't live without you."

After a slight pause, the corners of his lips rose, "From now on, I have Zhiyuan and the others to support me, and you can continue to go to Guangxi Province to suffer!"

In early October, people from the subdistrict office came to implement the policy.

Jia Zhang once again used her clever brain and really didn't want the Jia family to have a good life.
