Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

After meeting, he still has to apologize on behalf of his cousin with whom he has no feelings. It would be better not to meet at all since they don't have much of a friendship.

Besides, after something like this happened, Lou Xiao'e would not be friends with him, so it would be better not to meet him.

Wu Haibo took the money and left.

Zhong Shan took the key and went to the backyard to take a look.

Wu Zongyuan decorated the house quite well, and the home appliances were still there. Wu Haibo only took away some procedures and contracts and left nothing else alone.

Of course, I didn’t just give it to Zhongshan, I’ve already paid for it.

After walking around the room, Zhong Shan was generally satisfied.

When I came out of the house, I saw my elder sister standing at the door.

"Zhongshan, why did you go to the house opposite? Did you buy it?"

Zhong Shan smiled.

“Yes, Wu Zongyuan’s relatives came to deal with the house this morning, so I bought it first.

Big sister, if you want it, I'll give it to you."

Zhong Haiyan shook her head.

"You keep it. Your brother-in-law has also bought a small courtyard outside. It will be enough for the children to live in in the future. We don't need to buy another one."

Zhong Shan nodded. He actually didn’t care too much about this house. He had many houses, and it didn’t matter whether he bought this wing or not.

It’s just that Zhongshan doesn’t want any outsiders to live in here anymore. The atmosphere in the courtyard is pretty good now, and Zhongshan doesn’t want to destroy it.

"Then I'll keep it for now. If you or big brother want it, come find me. It's not bad for you to stay. If uncle can come over, your family will be in the backyard and there won't be anyone else."

Zhong Haiyan was obviously moved after hearing this.

"What you said is true. I will discuss it with Dahai after he comes back. I asked my dad to come before, but he refused. He said he was used to Baoshi. But Xiaohai has been thinking about it recently and can't sit still. This is really possible."

When Zhong Dahai came back in the evening, Zhong Haiyan told him about Liu Haizhong's house.

"Da Hai, Xiao Hai called me and said he wanted to start a business, but he didn't dare to tell Dad. I think we should discuss it and bring Dad over."

Zhong Dahai frowned after hearing this.

"Xiao Hai told you that he wanted to do business? Why didn't he call me? But it wouldn't be a bad idea to take this opportunity to have Dad come over."

Zhong Haiyan looked at her brother.

"Look at your expression now. How dare Xiao Hai talk to you? Isn't he afraid that you won't agree?"

After hearing this, Zhong Dahai didn't say anything, but started thinking.

His younger brother wanted to do business, and if he allowed him to go, he would have an excuse to have their father around.

But nowadays, it is not easy for those who go into business and make a name for themselves.

He knew what kind of person his brother was. He wasn't very cunning, nor was he that cruel.

But it's not completely impossible. Zhongshan is also a businessman, and his business is not small. Although he doesn't take charge of things now, he is still a businessman.

With him taking care of me, nothing will go wrong.

"Let him do what he wants, but the prerequisite is that he can take care of his father himself. Otherwise, we won't feel comfortable if the old man is running the city alone.

Big sister, tell him that as long as he can get dad to come to Sijiu City, we will allow him to do business."

The father loves this youngest son the most, and Zhong Xiaohai’s words are more effective than theirs.

Sure enough, no matter what Zhong Xiaohai said, Zhong Zhensheng finally agreed to come to Sijiu City.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and this family hasn’t celebrated the New Year together for many years.

Zhong Shan also transferred the house to Zhong Dahai, and Zhong Dahai and his wife packed up and moved into Wu Zongyuan's house.

The main house was left to my father.

When his uncle Zhong Zhensheng and Zhong Xiaohai's train arrived, Zhong Shan drove Lou Xiao'e's car and took Zhong Haiyan to the train station to pick them up.

At the end of the year, Zhong Dahai is getting busier and busier at work, and now he really can't spare the time.

After picking up the people, when Zhong Dahai got off work in the evening, Zhong Zhensheng couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at the family.

It has been more than 20 years since Zhong Dahai joined the army, and his family has never celebrated the New Year together again.

They didn't even get together often. The only time the family got together was when their eldest son, Zhong Dahai, got married.

New Year’s Eve 1989.

Jufulou, Nanluoguxiang.

The restaurant is closed today as the waiters have all gone home for the New Year holiday, but there are still many people in the restaurant.

There are several people in Zhongshan’s family, plus Lou Xiaoe’s family, Qin Huairu’s family in the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai’s family, and He Yuzhu’s family…

The reason why they are called two families is because He Daqing also came with his new wife.

Plus the old Zhong family in the backyard.

Originally, Zhong Shan and Zhong Dahai's family wanted to celebrate the New Year in the courtyard. They wanted to celebrate the New Year together, and these days they occupied more than half of the people in the courtyard.

Later, I discussed with an uncle and decided that we should celebrate the New Year together this year.

But there are so many people that no one can accommodate them at home.

Fortunately, Zhongshan’s restaurant was not far from the courtyard, so everyone went to the restaurant to celebrate the New Year reunion.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the people in the room with tears in his eyes. Isn't this what he wanted?

The same is true for Zhongshan's uncle.

It has been more than 20 years since my family last celebrated the New Year together, but now we are reunited.

Only He Daqing didn't have so many thoughts, but looking at his new daughter-in-law and old son, he was also very happy.

After the food came, Yi Zhonghai stood up.

“Neighbors, it’s almost the 90s, and we are all getting old. The children we once had are now middle-aged and have their own children.

Great, I am really happy to see that our courtyard is growing rapidly.

Originally, I was thinking of holding a general meeting of the entire courtyard during this New Year, and we would have another group gathering like we did before, but the weather is too cold now and there is not enough space in the house.

It just so happened that the Zhongshan Hotel was not far from our hospital, so we discussed and decided to move the hospital-wide meeting, the group gathering, and the annual meeting here.

Our courtyard has gone through all kinds of ups and downs, and now those of us who are left are all one family. I hope that in the future, we can continue to be friendly neighbors and help each other in solidarity.

I also hope that we old men can stay healthy, live a few more years, and enjoy a few more years of good life;

I hope that Zhongshan, Zhuzi, Dahai and their generation will have smooth careers and jobs;

I hope our young generation will make more contributions to the motherland and come back often to visit us. This is your home!"

Zhong Shan looked at the excited Yi Zhonghai. After so many years, so many things have happened in the courtyard. People in the courtyard have left, and only these few people are left.

In the end, only Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing were left from the older generation.

Yi Zhonghai no longer has to worry about retirement issues, so he finally got what he wanted.
