Siheyuan: Since 51

Lin Zhiyuan stood up and walked towards the door.

While taking the cloth bag, he was thinking secretly in his mind. When he returned to the coffee table, he had made a decision.

"Well, there's nothing good here. Salted duck eggs and pickles for Auntie and Little Chen Jian to try. Two bottles of tiger bone wine for your health."

Lin Zhiyuan paused, looked up at the brigade commander, and said, "I didn't expect Brother Fei to be here too. How about this, I originally had a little toy that I wanted to give to you, so I'll give it to Brother Fei!"

As he said that, he took out a silver cigarette holder from his coat pocket, which was actually his space, and threw it to Chen Fei, "Brother Fei, take it and play with it."

The mouthpiece is not big, less than five centimeters, and is finely crafted. Four words are carved vertically on the wall of the pipe: Life is like smoke.

Lin Zhiyuan originally made it for himself to show off, and it's just right for emergencies.

Chen Fei reached out to take it, held it up and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side, "Boss, bring it here for me to see."

Chen Fei glanced sideways and saw the brigade commander waving at him. After hesitating for a moment, he handed it over.

The brigade commander took the cigarette holder, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He picked up the cigarette and matches from the coffee table and stood up directly, "Let's go to the yard and try it."

Lin Zhiyuan and Chen Fei looked at each other and followed closely.

When he got outside the door, the brigade commander took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, put it into the cigarette holder, threw the cigarette box to Lin Zhiyuan, struck a match, lit it, and took a puff.

He blew out a smoke ring and praised: "Good stuff!"

After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said, "You didn't know to bring it earlier. I don't know how much tobacco I ate before."

Lin Zhiyuan had just lit a cigarette for Chen Fei and was busy explaining.

"Uncle Chen, I can't make a gift for you out of broken stones. I have to put in some effort."

The brigade commander was obviously very satisfied and nodded.

"Indeed, you have a conscience, the stuff is good, I like it very much."

Chen Fei was stunned and blurted out, "Dad."

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows and said, "Boss, don't look at it. Didn't you hear me? This is carefully prepared for me. Your..."

Then he pointed with his finger and said, "Ask this boy."

Chen Fei turned his head again and looked at Lin Zhiyuan, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

Lin Zhiyuan sighed, then took out a bluestone cigarette holder from his pocket, or actually from his space, and threw it over.

"Brother Fei, there is only one silver one, and the stone one, I was planning to use it myself, please don't despise it."

On the steps outside the door.

The brigade commander had a silver cigarette holder in his mouth, Chen Fei had a bluestone cigarette holder in his mouth, and Lin Zhiyuan had a cigarette in his mouth.

The three of them squatted in a row, puffing out smoke.

Finished a cigarette.

The brigade commander was quite satisfied. He carefully shook out the cigarette butt in the holder, put it in his pocket, and stood up.

Chen Fei followed suit and put the cigarette holder into his pocket.

Lin Zhiyuan spat out a few mouthfuls of saliva containing tobacco, threw the cigarette butt away, and stomped it out.

"Let's go inside and have some tea."

At the brigade commander's command, the three returned to the living room.

After drinking a few cups of tea, the brigade commander was very generous and waved his hand.

"Zhiyuan, you are a thoughtful boy. As your elder, I will not let you suffer any loss. Tell me if there is anything you want. Talk about it in a big way."

Lin Zhiyuan curled his lips and thought, can I also have the teacher's and professor's inscriptions?

Unexpectedly, the subtle movement was caught by the brigade commander.

"Hey, what's with that expression? Are you afraid that I can't do it?"

Lin Zhiyuan chuckled, "Then I really said it."

The brigade commander raised an eyebrow and said, "Go ahead."

"If I could have a teacher and a teacher's calligraphy, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

As soon as he finished speaking, the brigade commander immediately laughed and scolded, "How dare you think about it, it will be so beautiful that you will die."

Lin Zhiyuan drooped his eyelids, "You asked me to say it, and you asked me to exaggerate it."

The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Do you want me to write it? I'll write one for you someday. I'll just write the three words 'good nephew'."

Chen Fei looked at the two of them chatting and couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.

Chen Fei had not been with the brigade commander since he was a child, and they finally got together. The brigade commander was strict, and Chen Fei had always been well-behaved.

This is probably what is meant by blood suppression!

Lin Zhiyuan was fine with it, and said with a smile, "Okay, that's what I wanted."

The brigade commander smiled heartily, "That's more like it."

Then he changed the subject and asked, "Are your ears hot lately?"

Lin Zhiyuan was puzzled, "It's not hot."

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows, "How is that possible? Do you still remember the song you wrote for Ice City College?"

Lin Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Remember, 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant'."

Beside him, Chen Fei's eyes widened slightly and he exclaimed, "Zhiyuan, are you Shihui?"

The brigade commander held out his hand to stop him, "Boss, wait a moment."

After that, he turned to Lin Zhiyuan and said, "There are many female students in the academy. If they scold you every day, don't your ears feel hot?"

Lin Zhiyuan understood, but pretended to be confused, "It doesn't matter, they don't know Shi Hui is me anyway."

The brigade commander showed a wicked smile, "After the New Year, I will take you to visit the academy."

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Uncle Chen, you... I'm very busy at work, so I won't go to the academy to cause trouble."

The brigade commander said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I'll go and coordinate to give you at least half a year so that you can have a good look around the academy."

Lin Zhiyuan sighed deeply and looked sad.

"Uncle Chen, I'm going to write a song for the female students later. Can you please send it to them?"

The brigade commander smiled heartily and smacked his lips. "Since you are so thoughtful and have a nice cigarette holder, I will help you with this."

Well, this is really interesting.

I worked and provided materials, and went without sleep for several days and nights, and now I still owed people a favor.

After chatting for a while, around four o'clock, Lin Zhiyuan said goodbye.

Riding a bicycle, heading east.

The brigade commander was smiling and humming a tune.

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and said, "Look at you, you must be bullying Zhiyuan again."

"No way, if you don't believe me, ask the boss. I still have to help him."

The brigade commander chuckled and said, "I'm going to take a stroll at Kenong's house."

Mrs. Chen frowned slightly, "Why are you going to someone else's house on New Year's Eve?"

"Have a cigarette."

After riding hard all the way, Lin Zhiyuan returned to the courtyard in less than half an hour.

The couplets on the doors of the house were written by Yan Bugui and posted by Lin Zhihao.

With the help of chef Wang Aimin, the New Year’s Eve dinner was basically prepared neatly.

Lifting the door curtain, Lin Zhiyuan walked into the house.

Wu Xia, Qin Huairu and Lin Manyu are making dumplings.

Lin Zhihao is rolling out dough.

The little book fell down in chaos from time to time.

"Second Aunt, you're back early."

Wu Xia responded casually without stopping her hands.

"Well, I was sitting at the Commissar's house for a while, not more than a few minutes earlier than you."

Chatting and working together, it was a warm and happy atmosphere.

It’s a pity that Lin Jialiang and Lin Zhihui are not at home.

As soon as it got dark, bursts of firecrackers were heard outside the door.

Lin Zhiyuan signaled, "Zhihao, let's start the meal with fireworks."

With the crackling sound of firecrackers mixed with laughter, the New Year has arrived in a flash.

After not going to work for a few days, Lin Zhiyuan cleaned the room and opened the door to get some fresh air.

An unexpected person suddenly stood at the door.

"Master Lin, Happy New Year. Is it convenient for us to chat?"
