After returning to the courtyard, Wang Haoran tiptoed to the bedside and glanced at his sleeping sister. Seeing that she showed no signs of waking up, the stone in his heart finally fell.

Then he quickly took off his coat, tiptoed onto the bed, lay down on the other side, pulled the quilt over his head, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the courtyard.

At this time, in front of the courtyard gate, Lei Li led a group of people who looked like workers into the courtyard. They were carrying tools and looked aggressive.

"Comrade, what are you doing?" Yan Bugui, who was guarding the door, saw this and immediately stepped forward and asked with a suspicious look on his face.

Lei Li stepped forward and replied politely: "Hello, we are here to renovate the house."

"Oh? I haven't heard anyone in our courtyard say they want to renovate their houses recently!" Yan Bugui frowned and asked in confusion.

"It was Wang Haoran from your courtyard who asked us to come here. He wanted to tidy up the house." Lei Li replied.

Hearing this, Yan Bugui suddenly realized, and a sly look flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself: "So that guy wants to renovate the house. Hehe, now I have a chance to make some money!"

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Lei Li enthusiastically: "In that case, please follow me, I will take you to find him."

Lei Li followed closely behind, wondering why the residents of this courtyard seemed to be unaware of this matter. However, since someone was paying him, he didn't bother to ask more questions, as long as he completed the work as required.

When they arrived at Wang Haoran's door, Yan Bugui knocked on the door and shouted, "Wang Haoran, come and open the door, the decoration team is here!"

There was a noise in the room, and then the door opened, and Wang Haoran, looking sleepy, appeared in front of everyone.

"Master Lei, why are you here so early?" Wang Haoran rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise.

"It's still early. It's already noon! The decorators are here, why don't they get to work?" Yan Bugui urged with a smile.

Wang Haoran nodded helplessly, and then invited the workers to come in. He turned around and said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Thank you so much, Uncle San! I will definitely treat you to a big meal at noon to express my gratitude to you.

It's just that there are too many people here now, and I'm a bit overwhelmed, so I can't entertain you properly, please forgive me."

After hearing what Wang Haoran said, Yan Bugui smiled with satisfaction, nodded repeatedly and said, "It's okay, it's normal to have a lot of things to do when renovating a house.

You go and do your thing first, don't worry about me, I just happen to have other things to deal with, so I'll leave first."

In fact, Yan Bugui stayed here just to wait for Wang Haoran to say this.

He knew very well that there were so many people crowded together and there was not even a seat. Could it be that he didn't understand? He was unwilling to return empty-handed. If he didn't get a definite answer from Wang Haoran, wouldn't today's efforts be in vain?

Wang Haoran naturally knew that although Yan Bugui was described as a stingy person in the original novel, he had not committed any serious crime. Moreover, he had five people to support in his family, and life was not easy.

Therefore, it would be okay to give Yan Bugui some benefits. After all, there must be someone to fight for him in the yard. The prerequisite is that he doesn't provoke him again in the future.

Yan Bugui hummed a cheerful tune along the way, with a bright smile on his face, as if he had encountered a great joy. His smug look attracted the attention of people coming and going in the courtyard.

"Uncle, what good thing happened to you? Why are you so happy?" Someone came forward and asked curiously.

Yan Bugui raised his lips and smiled mysteriously: "Hey, nothing, I just suddenly thought of something happy."

Although he was very happy, Yan Bugui knew that some things could be said, but some things could not be said casually.

If he let it slip and got into trouble, Wang Haoran would regret not inviting him to lunch, which would be a loss. So he ignored the people around him and hurried back home.

"Boss, you look so happy so early in the morning! What good news is going on?" Seeing Yan Bugui smiling so happily, the third aunt asked suspiciously.

Yan Bugui couldn't hide his excitement, and lowered his voice to say to the third aunt: "Did you know? Wang Haoran is renovating the house in the backyard, so I went over to help a little.

He said he would invite me to his house for lunch! There would definitely be a lot of delicious food, just thinking about it makes me drool! "

Hearing this news, the three aunts couldn't help but smile. Their family has always been very stingy, and they would rather break every penny into pieces to spend, and save as much as possible. How can they not be happy to save one person's lunch money?

"Yes! Wang Haoran lives a very comfortable life. He has fish and meat every day." The third aunt sighed, her eyes full of envy.

"Yeah, it seems that I have to build good relationships with Wang Haoran in the future. He needs to decorate the house and buy a bicycle. How rich must he be!" As Yan Bugui said this, he started to plan again.

"Master Lei, I plan to convert one of the large houses into a kitchen and add a bathroom; then I plan to break through the walls of the other two large houses and convert them into four bedrooms, one as the master bedroom, another as the children's room, and the remaining two as guest rooms.

In addition, the gate of the courtyard should be decorated with iron sheet material, and a pond should be built in front of the gate to raise fish. Please help calculate how much it will cost. "After watching Yan Bugui leave, Wang Haoran gave everyone a cigarette and lit one for himself.

I thought: After I get married, if relatives come to visit, there will be enough rooms for them to stay.

"What a generous amount of money! I just made a rough estimate. If the material cost is included, the total cost will be two hundred yuan, and if it is not included, it will only be one hundred and seventy yuan." Lei Li was also stunned by what Wang Haoran said. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said.

"Then let's do it all for free. I don't want to spend the time to buy materials. Here's a 70 yuan deposit. Please keep it first. The rest will be settled after the work is completed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Haoran took out seven big unity notes from his pocket and handed them to Lei Lidao.

"Don't worry, boss! I will do the job beautifully and make you satisfied." Lei Li took the money and patted his chest confidently and promised.

"Master Lei! Do you know any masters who are good at making furniture? I want to make some high-quality furniture!

Hearing this, Lei Li showed a proud look on his face, and patted his chest to assure: "Haha, you really asked the right person! My kid is in this business, and he learned from the famous chef Feng Lin in Beijing! His skills are absolutely impeccable. If the work is not good enough, I won't take a penny!"

Wang Haoran heard this, and all his worries disappeared. He nodded with satisfaction and said casually: "Well, if that's the case, then I'll trouble you to take care of it! After all, I know that it's better not to trouble two people for one thing."

After finishing his instructions, Wang Haoran turned and left, muttering to himself as he walked: "Okay, now I don't have to worry about anything! You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll go prepare some sumptuous dishes, and we'll have a nice meal at noon!"

Not long after, Wang Haoran bought back more than a dozen breakfasts, in addition to various kinds of fish and meat, and he staggered all the way back to the courtyard.

After placing Xiaoya's breakfast, he looked at Master Lei and the others who were working hard and said, "Master Lei, come on, have some breakfast first."

"Boss, we came here after breakfast, so you can eat by yourself." Master Lei responded while looking at the buns on the table.

"Since we've bought it all, let's eat it together. My sister and I can't finish so much anyway." Looking at Master Lei who was trying to refuse, Wang Haoran continued to persuade him.

"Well then!" Master Lei turned around and shouted to his disciples, "It's time to eat. Eat well and work hard. Don't let the boss down."

"Master, don't worry. Now that we have met such a good boss, we will definitely work with all our strength." said one of the apprentices who was eating with his mouth full of oil.

"That's right...that's right..." This sentence caused the other disciples to echo unanimously. Wang Haoran looked at them and just smiled happily without saying anything.

After all, in this era, if you just show them a little favor, they will be more attentive, which will save Wang Haoran a lot of worries.

After breakfast, Wang Haoran gently shook Xiaoya, who was still immersed in her dream on the bed, and gently woke her up.

Xiaoya rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly sat up, then picked up the clothes beside the bed and put them on slowly.

Wang Haoran carefully looked at the clothes with several patches on them, and thought to himself: I must buy Xiaoya a few more new clothes when I have time.

After Xiaoya finished washing up, Wang Haoran handed her the breakfast prepared on the table. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not signed in in the system today!

So he turned around and asked, "System, you didn't forget about my things, did you? Did you swallow them up privately?"

The system replied with a hint of arrogance: "It was obviously you who didn't ask, how can you blame me? Now as long as you sign in at any time during the day, it will be valid and the reward will be kept."

Hearing this, Wang Haoran patted his chest as if relieved, and said to himself: "That's good, as long as you didn't embezzle it." Then, he shouted the word "sign in" without hesitation.

All I heard was a system notification sound: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining an artificial intelligence simulator and a master-level cooking skill improvement card."

Wang Haoran was very curious about this so-called "artificial intelligence simulator" and asked the system what its purpose was.

The system seemed a little impatient, but still explained: "It can do everything, such as growing vegetables, cleaning, etc. In short, it can do everything." After saying that, it rolled its eyes, expressing its speechlessness.

"Ha...ha...what you wish for will come true. I was just worried about how to harvest the food in the space." Hearing this, Wang Haoran's face was full of joy.

"System, collect the master chef upgrade card." Thinking of the master chef upgrade card, Wang Haoran said again.

“Extracting the Master Chef Upgrade Card...”
