What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

After sending Wang Defa out of the courtyard, Yan Xiaoyao touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.

He walked to the breakfast stall where he had eaten yesterday and ordered a few meat buns and a bowl of soy milk. While eating, he looked around with interest. He looked around but didn't see the two brothers from yesterday. It was probably because Lao Liu was in a good mood today and didn't take his anger out on them.

After finishing the meal, Yan Xiaoyao smacked his lips, feeling that the meat buns here tasted really good, so he packed up 10 more to take away, preparing to take them home to store for lunch and dinner.

Fortunately, it was morning, Yan Laokou should have gone to work, and Jia Zhang's fat pig was still sleeping, so Yan Xiaoyao walked to the backyard safely.

After entering the house, he closed the door and put the meat buns into the storage space so that he would not have to reheat them when he ate them.

Thinking that there was nothing to do today, with no computer to play with and no Tik Tok to watch videos of beautiful girls, Yan Xiaoyao lay on the bed, ready to continue the dream that he had not finished in the morning.

After waking up from this sleep, I felt refreshed.

I was just a little sweaty and sticky, and my clothes smelled of sweat.

Looking at the sky, if it’s any later those beasts will be off work.

Yan Xiaoyao decided to go to the bathhouse to relax. He thought about the description of this big bathhouse in the north in the novel of his previous life, which said that the water was changed every day.

My goodness, people who went there that night had to skim off a layer of floating objects on the water surface before they dared to go down. It’s disgusting just to think about it.

Forget it, let's go early! Otherwise, it will be a pain in the ass if we go too late after everyone gets off work.

As a southerner, I have only seen bathhouses in bathing centers, but have not seen the big bathhouses in the north. It's a good opportunity for me to go and broaden my horizons.

Yan Xiaoyao came to the bathhouse with toiletries in hand, full of anticipation.

As soon as I entered the bathhouse, a wave of hot steam hit me in the face, mixed with the strong smell of soap and shampoo.

At the counter at the door, there was an old master who was dozing off. Hearing the noise, he lazily raised his eyelids.

Yan Xiaoyao paid the money, received a card, and walked into the locker room. The locker room was bustling with people. Some were taking off their clothes in a hurry, while others were slowly tidying up their wardrobes. He found an empty closet, quickly took off his clothes, wrapped his waist with a towel, and walked towards the bathhouse impatiently.

As soon as he opened the curtain of the bathhouse, he saw a vast expanse of white mist in front of him, and could only hear the sound of water and people talking. It took him a while to adjust to the scene in the bathhouse. The large bathing pools were emitting steam, and people were sitting or lying down, looking very comfortable.

Yan Xiaoyao found an empty spot and carefully put his feet into the water. Instantly, a warm feeling spread throughout his body.

He sat down slowly until the water reached his shoulders, and couldn't help but sighing comfortably. Some people around him closed their eyes to rest, while others chatted with each other, talking about family matters and the latest news in the factory.

Yan Xiaoyao soaked quietly for a while, feeling that all the pores in his body were opened, and his fatigue gradually dissipated. He stood up and walked to the shower head, turned on the faucet, and let the warm water pour down from his head, washing his hair and body.

After taking a bath, he came to the scrubbing area and lay on the scrubbing bed. The scrubber skillfully picked up the scrub towel, starting from the neck, and rubbed down little by little, each time with just the right amount of force, making Yan Xiaoyao feel itchy and comfortable, and he couldn't help humming.

After scrubbing his body, Yan Xiaoyao rinsed again, put on clean clothes, and left the bathhouse feeling refreshed and energetic, as if all his worries were left there.

After leaving the bathhouse, Yan Xiaoyao wanted to cut his hair again. He used to shave his head bald or keep it short, and he was not used to having long hair. His hair was almost the same as the neutral hairstyle that women in later generations have.

There happened to be a barber shop nearby, so he went in and asked the boss to give him a short haircut, which made him look much more energetic.

Then I went home feeling relaxed.

When he returned home, the young wives and old women in the yard were still pointing at Yan Xiaoyao and talking about something, and teasing each other.

Yan Xiaoyao was too lazy to deal with these people and went straight home.

After sitting down, I was still thinking that I didn’t run into Lou Xiaoe when I went in and out today. I wonder if she went back to her parents’ home or was sleeping at home.

However, according to the descriptions in most novels, he should be sleeping at home.

I think he said he had some kind of migraine or something, I can't remember.

But these are just minor problems, and they will be fine if I communicate with her more in the future.

Forget it, let’s just follow the old routine.

Let’s wait until we have a chance to get Xu Damao drunk!

Two days passed quickly.

These two days Yan Xiaoyao was too lazy to pay attention to these beasts in the yard.

He knew very well that these beasts only cared about food and not about beatings, and would start making trouble again in a few days.

Two days passed quickly.

These two days Yan Xiaoyao was too lazy to pay attention to these beasts in the yard.

He knew very well that these beasts only cared about food and not about beatings, and would start making trouble again in a few days.

I would go out during the day to take a look at the differences between the old Beijing city of this era and the one shown on TV in later generations.

I went to see the Tiananmen Square of this era. On the majestic and solemn Tiananmen Square, the red flag was flying, and the huge slogans of "Long Live the People's Republic of China" and "Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World" were eye-catching and inspiring. Yan Xiaoyao stood in the square, gazing at the fluttering five-star red flag, and felt an indescribable sense of pride and emotion in his heart.

Walking around the streets, you can see slogans full of the characteristics of the times on the walls on both sides of the streets, such as "Work hard, strive for excellence, build socialism quickly, efficiently and economically!", "Labor is the most glorious", "Learn from Daqing in industry and Dazhai in agriculture". As people come and go, some familiar people greet each other, their faces filled with enthusiasm for life and confidence in the future.

During these two days, Yan Xiaoyao also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities.

Although the goods in the supply and marketing cooperatives were not as dazzling as those in later generations, each one was simple and practical.

He also bought two sets of clothes from that era, a blue cloth Zhongshan suit and gray cloth trousers, which made him look particularly energetic when he put them on.

I also bought some daily necessities and food and stored them in the storage space in case of emergency.

During these two days of strolling, Yan Xiaoyao deeply felt that although the material life of this era is not rich, the spiritual world of people is full and firm. Everyone lives and works hard with a beautiful vision of the future. He couldn't help thinking that perhaps this is the unique charm of this era.

After Yan Xiaoyao finished his dinner in the evening, he lay on the bed, his thoughts involuntarily drifting to the matters of reporting to the steel mill tomorrow.

In the past two days, he has successfully obtained letters of introduction from the school and the street office, and is waiting to report to the steel rolling mill for work early tomorrow morning.

I wandered the streets for two days, not knowing what to do. It would be better to report to the factory as soon as possible and kill time there. Besides, my house will be renovated in two days, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find a place to stay by then.

While thinking about the decoration, there was a knock on the door and Wang Defa's voice: "Is anyone home?"

Yes, it turns out that as soon as you mention Cao Cao, he will appear.

Yan Xiaoyao got up, opened the door, welcomed Wang Defa into the room, and handed him a cigarette.

Wang Defa took the cigarette, put it to his ear and said, "We have rushed to finish the work for the previous company in the past two days. Your materials will be delivered tomorrow. You can clean up your house today, and we will come over tomorrow to clean up your house first so that you have a place to sleep, and then we will clean up the outside. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Yan Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and responded, "That's fine. We have to control the quality, but there's no rush for other things. But I have to report to the factory tomorrow, so I'll give you the key to my house and you can make the arrangements. I'll pack up everything at home and put it in that small room tonight, and you can start working directly when you come tomorrow. It won't be too late to start working on the small room after we're done here."

Then he asked, "How do you solve your lunch problem?"

Wang Defa quickly said, "We all bring our own food at home, so you don't have to worry about this."

Yan Xiaoyao remembered that in his previous life, he had to provide meals for people who were doing renovations. He thought for a while and said, "How about this, I'll give you more money, and you can all eat better. Just help me do the work more carefully."

Wang Defa was touched and said repeatedly, "Boss, you are such a straightforward person!" He patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you do a beautiful job. If there is any quality problem, I will write my name backwards."

Yan Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That's not necessary. You were introduced by Aunt Wang, so I definitely trust you!"

Then, he pretended to take out two large front-door cigarettes from the drawer of the table, handed them to Wang Defa, and said, "Don't be disgusted by the bad cigarettes. I guess if they were better, you would be reluctant to smoke them. Tell me when you're done."

After some arguing, Wang Defa said with great emotion: "Boss, you are so kind to us peasants. Don't worry, we will definitely do our best to build a good house for you."

After sending the excited Wang Defa out of the door, Wang Defa refused to let Yan Xiaoyao send him to the gate of the courtyard.

Yan Xiaoyao thought about the beasts in the yard and stopped insisting on sending them. He even whispered to Wang Defa, "The people in our yard are a bit dishonest. You guys should first install the door across the yard, so that they won't steal these materials."

Wang Defa was very angry when he heard this, and was about to yell when he was stopped by Yan Xiaoyao.

Yan Xiaoyao said: "It's enough for us to know it ourselves. The more you shout, the more excited these people will be."

Wang Defa thought about it and agreed. After all, Yan Xiaoyao would have to live here for a long time after the renovation was completed. He wanted to avoid causing trouble for him, so he agreed angrily and said, "I will arrange someone to keep an eye on these materials."
