Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang rode his bicycle back to Nanluoguxiang in style. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he heard Yan Bugui's loud shout.

"Renkang, you really bought a bicycle!"

He ran over while shouting, touching the new car body and said

"A brand new Forever 185-inch bicycle, yuan, you guys don't want to buy it?"

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the radio that Zhang Renkang was holding and exclaimed again.

"Radio? A new one?"

"Renkang, are you going to quit living?"

Yan Bugui's shouting attracted several families in the front yard, as well as Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi from the middle yard. Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai also came over after hearing the news. They all looked at Zhang Renkang pushing the 28-inch bicycle and the radio on his arm with envy, and talked about it.

Sha Zhu said angrily

"Where did you get the ticket? Did you get it through speculation?"

Yi Zhonghai said seriously

"Zhang Renkang, how did you get the money and tickets? Don't make any mistakes."

"This is a modern courtyard. Don't ruin its reputation because of yourself."

Seeing where Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai were exaggerating, Zhang Renkang sneered

"I didn't intend to buy a bicycle, but I didn't expect someone to give me money. Do you think it was Yi Zhonghai?"

Yi Zhonghai finally realized that this bastard had extorted more money from him than the money for the bicycle. No wonder he had the money to buy a bicycle. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was fuming when he saw Zhang Renkang's bicycle. He said angrily:

"Where did you get the ticket? Where's the radio?"

Zhang Renkang said disdainfully

"What's your business? Who do you think you are? Go and report me if you're not satisfied?"

"You are just a pig with an onion in its nose, pretending to be an elephant"

Then he said to Yan Bugui with a smile

"Uncle, you are busy. I will go back first."

Zhang Renkang pushed the cart towards the backyard. Sha Zhu subconsciously tried to stop him and gave him a look, which made him shrink to the other side without saying a word. Yi Zhonghai was very annoyed when he saw Zhang Renkang not giving him face, but he had no other choice. At this time, Sha Zhu suddenly asked

"Uncle, how about we go to the police station and report this guy?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the fool speechlessly and said

"He dared to take it openly, which means the source is fine. It's useless for you to report it."

After saying that, I went back

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi started to plot as soon as they arrived.

Jia Zhang said

"This little bastard is really wealthy, he can afford a bicycle and a radio."

"Qin Huairu, what about that cousin you mentioned? Is she okay?"

Qin Huairu also said thoughtfully

"I will go back to my parents' home tomorrow to pick up my cousin. I guess I need to hurry up."

Jia Zhang's tyranny

"Hurry up, make it so that he can help our family. I've been really frustrated these past few days."

"We have to let this little beast treat us to meat for three days."

"The radio has to be ours, too."

"I'll leave the bicycle for Banggeng to use when he goes to work."

......

Qin Huairu was speechless as she watched Jia Zhang dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period. This idiot couldn't do what a normal person would do.

At this time, the Yan family was also in distress. Seeing Zhang Renkang riding a bicycle with a radio, Yan Jiecheng sighed and said

"Dad, do you think there is still a chance for me and that Yu Li?"

Yan Bugui pondered for a moment.

"The key point you mentioned is that Zhang Renkang is not dating Yu Li, right? He also didn't say anything bad about you? It's not easy to ask him about this."

Yan Jiecheng told Yan Bugui about this in the afternoon, and Yan Bugui knew what the problem was. Yu Li probably saw Zhang Renkang's good conditions and fell in love with him, but Zhang Renkang couldn't be blamed for this. It was Yan Jiecheng who invited her. Not only did she treat you to shabu-shabu, but she never said anything bad about the Yan family. How could you ask this? More importantly, this was the first time Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li met, and they hadn't confirmed their relationship yet.

Zhang Renkang, who didn't have much to do, returned to the room, put the radio on the bedside table, tidied it up, and began to think.

Looking at the furnishings in the room, this room has a bed, a wardrobe, a table, two wooden sofas, and two cupboards, which is still a bit shabby. This room of nearly 40 square meters plus the other room on the left is more than 80 square meters. In fact, if it is properly arranged, it can be made into a space with two bedrooms and a living room. Zhang Renkang has not been able to gain a firm foothold in the past six months, and secondly, he has been busy with exams and dealing with these beasts and has no time to tidy up. Now he has passed the exam to become a formal chef and is also a team leader. If nothing unexpected happens, the director of the kitchen should be himself next year. In the yard, except for Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and the Jia family, who are mortal enemies, the other families are not bad. He must think about tidying up the house.

He plans to connect the two rooms, so that it becomes a cuboid of about 17 meters long from north to south and 5.2 meters wide from east to west. From south to north, there will be a 20-square-meter bedroom and a 15-square-meter bedroom. The middle area of ​​more than 30 square meters will be used as a living room and dining room. On the northernmost side, 20 square meters will be separated from the east side of the yard as a kitchen, and the half facing the alley will be used as a toilet and bathroom. In this way, even if he has children in the future, he will still be able to live in a spacious room, and his privacy will also be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Renkang planned to go to the street office tomorrow to see if there was a suitable and reliable craftsman to measure the house for him and see how much budget he would need.

Early next morning

After signing in, Zhang Renkang went out to wash up. One great advantage of living in this era is that no matter whether you go to work or not, you will wake up at around six in the morning. After all, due to the lack of entertainment activities, most people go to bed after eight o'clock in the evening. After washing up, Zhang Renkang boiled a few eggs for himself, turned on the radio and listened to it boredly. He didn't plan to go downstairs today. Anyway, the supplies were his. When the time comes, who would know who he is when he puts on the mask?

Zhang Renkang was thinking about what to do today after breakfast when there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was the widow Qin begging for food, Zhang Renkang opened the door without a good look. It was Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e dressed up today, wearing a white shirt, gray pants and small leather shoes. She smiled when she saw Zhang Renkang.

Lou Xiao'e came into the room and said

"Do I look good today?"

Zhang Renkang was stunned and nodded.

"It looks good, Sister Xiao'e. If you had worn this earlier, I would have chased you a long time ago."

Seeing Zhang Renkang talking nonsense, Lou Xiaoe smiled and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. Seeing Zhang Renkang gasping in pain, Lou Xiaoe smiled and said

"Xu Damao went to the countryside yesterday and won't be back for the next few days. Renkang, can you accompany me for a walk today?"

Zhang Renkang naturally had no objection and nodded.

"You go first, I'll pack up and ride out, we'll see you on the road later"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and kissed him on the mouth, then left first. Zhang Renkang quickly packed up, pushed the cart out, locked the door, and went out. When he arrived at the middle courtyard, Zhang Renkang wondered why he didn't see Qin Huairu today. Without thinking much, he said hello to Yan Bugui, who was cleaning the car at the gate, and rode his bike to chase Lou Xiao'e.

The two met at the entrance of the alley. Seeing that there was no one around, Lou Xiaoe jumped on the back seat, hugged Zhang Renkang's waist and put her head on his back. Like an ordinary young couple, they headed towards Xishan, which was farther away and they were not afraid of running into acquaintances.

At the foot of the West Mountain, the two held hands and toured slowly. The maple leaves in late autumn were ablaze red. In the magnificent scenery, there was a hint of solemnity, just like their current love. No matter how magnificent the love was, it would not be satisfactory in this era. Looking at the enthusiastic Lou Xiao'e, Zhang Renkang felt reluctant. She would eventually go to the port city. Under the wheel of the times, he was just an ant who could only survive. How could he protect her?

Zhang Renkang turned Lou Xiao'e around and kissed her deeply. Unaware of what was going on, Lou Xiao'e welcomed her lover affectionately and kissed him back passionately.

. . . . . .

Zhang Renkang hugged the disheveled and breathless Lou Xiaoe and said

"Xiao'e, take a message back to your father"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhang Renkang in confusion and heard him say

"Yesterday I went to a senior leader's house to cook and listened to their conversation. I can't say too much."

"Tell your father that if you leave early, you still have a chance of survival, but if you leave later, you will die."

"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Let him make a decision early."

Seeing Zhang Renkang's serious words, Lou Xiao'e looked at him worriedly and asked:

"Is it really that serious?"

Lou Xiao'e knew her family's situation. She just didn't know enough about human nature. She was not stupid. As a modern woman who had received Western education, she understood the current situation and the disadvantages to her family background. As soon as Zhang Renkang spoke, she understood what was going on.

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"You are my first woman, I don't want to be separated from you. It's better for you to leave. You can come back in fifteen years at most. If you don't leave, you may not survive."

Lou Xiao'e didn't ask any more questions. At this moment, she really felt that Zhang Renkang loved her, and it was not just a hormonal impulse. This news could save her family's lives, but it could also cost Zhang Renkang's life. At this moment, Lou Xiao'e just wanted to feel his scent in her lover's arms.
