(It is said that there are many handsome men and beautiful women who read novels. Let me see how many there are. I don’t think there will be more than 100 of them, right?)

No. 1958, Nanluoguxiang, Old Town, 95.

Li Gousheng returned home, threw down a few pieces of scrap metal, poured himself a glass of boiled water, and after drinking it, he said, "These scrap metals should be more than enough for everything!"

In the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang was sitting at home with her shoes crossed and said, "Dongxu, Huairu is about to give birth again. Go find your master and ask him to build a few more houses for our family. Otherwise, how will we live in the future?"

"If there is another room, you and Huairu can live more comfortably after I leave."

"By the way, how many years have you been working now? You are still a second-level worker. Let Lao Yi help you move up."

"Old Yi, do I need to tell you about this? Can't he be more self-aware? He's still counting on you to take care of him in his old age. Ugh."

"Tell him to at least complete one of these two tasks for me, otherwise he can't expect you to provide for his retirement."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he stammered, "Mom, isn't this a good idea? What if Master doesn't care about me anymore?"

"What are you afraid of? Just put it this way. At most, you don't have a master. At worst, you can find someone else to teach you. Even if you can't memorize it, you can still do it better than him."

"You are nothing like me! You are just like your damn father. You don't have any manliness at all."

"Don't think Yi Zhonghai is a good person. How could I not know his little tricks? He is afraid that you will ignore him after you become a disciple. The old man is treacherous."

"Look at Liu Haizhong in the backyard. Although he doesn't have much brains, aren't all his disciples very capable? Every year during festivals, they send him gifts. And look at Yi Zhonghai. Who has ever sent him anything?"

Qin Huairu came out and said, "Mom, please don't embarrass Dongxu. You know his temper. Besides, where can an old man get us a house?"

"You know nothing. People from the countryside have no manners. Do you have any say when I'm talking to Dongxu?"

After saying that, she was still not satisfied, so she used the sole of her shoe to hit Qin Huairu a few times, causing her to feel pain. She apologized repeatedly and said, "Mom, please don't hit me, mom, mom, please don't hit me, I was wrong, it's all my fault, I will definitely change."

"When did you become so considerate? You even consider Yi Zhonghai, that old man? Don't forget, you are the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. If you've had enough, go back to the countryside."

Qin Huairu sobbed softly after being scolded. Jia Zhangshi was upset and said, "Go away and cry. Don't bother me here."

"Whether Yi Zhonghai can get a house is his business. Besides, don't the back house in the front yard and Li Gousheng's house have space?"

Jia Dongxu felt sad when he saw his wife being scolded, but he didn't dare to say anything. His mother raised him all these years, and helped him find a wife and raise children. It was not easy enough. He didn't want to make Jia Zhang sad because of such a trivial matter.

"Mom, didn't you go to the street office to apply for the back house? There's also Li Gousheng's house. Even though he's the only one living there, it's still his house. How can we possibly live there?"

"Besides, that kid hangs out with ruffians every day. It's fine if I don't agree, but I'm afraid he'll bear a grudge against our family."

"What are you worried about? Didn't I tell you to go find Yi Zhonghai? Even if something happened, Li Gousheng should go find Yi Zhonghai. Why would he look for us?"

"You should go quickly. It's almost time for dinner. Maybe you can have a drink with your master. Go quickly."

When Jia Dongxu heard that he could drink, his eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, I'll go first. Even if the house issue doesn't work out, the issue of my job level should be resolved for me! The people who came in with me are now level five workers! I'm still a level two worker, this is unacceptable!"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai picked up the chopsticks, he heard Jia Dongxu calling out from the door, "Master, are you home?"

An old lady opened the door and said, "Dongxu, come in quickly. Is there anything you want to talk to your master about?"

Jia Dongxu walked into the room and said, "Oh, I came at a bad time. You and your mistress are having dinner! I'll come back later."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Sit down and have a drink with me. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can. If I can't do it, just don't blame me."

"Master, how could I possibly blame you! Apart from my mother and Huairu, there is no one in this world who is closer to me than you!"

"Besides, you are not a god, so it is normal that there are things you cannot do."

An old lady smiled and said, "Haha, Dongxu is really good at talking!"

After dinner, Jia Dongxu went home humming a little tune. Jia Zhang saw him coming back and asked, "Have you finished your work?"

"Well, the work-level issue should be no problem, but the house issue, Master needs time to communicate."

"Humph, what the hell is communication? He has someone in the street office, it's just a matter of a word, and you think I don't know."

"Okay! Having hair doesn't mean you're bald. Once you're promoted to a third-level worker, our life will be much better."

"When the time comes, you should be more diligent and learn more from others. Don't be too straightforward and don't just stare at Yi Zhonghai and learn from him."

"He processes high-level parts. What can you understand? You can watch the fourth- and fifth-level fitters process parts."

"Mom, I understand. I just drank some wine and I feel a little dizzy. I'm going to sleep for a while."

"Go."

Yi Zhonghai was very happy today. He had gone to the street office to inquire about the back house in the front yard a long time ago, but there was no hope!

So he could only go to Li Gousheng's house to have a look. He didn't think it would work in one go. The main thing was to lay the groundwork first, and then pay some rent and he should be able to get it.

Li Gousheng was cooking in the house when he heard Yi Zhonghai calling out at the door, "Is Li Gousheng home?"

Before he could reply, Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Kid, why don't you say a word when I'm talking to you?"

"Hey! Your parents are gone, and there's no one to tell you this. I'll teach you how to be a good person in the future."

When Li Gousheng saw it, he kept shouting "WTF" in his heart. It is said that there are several versions of Siheyuan. One is the original version, in which Shazhu dies in a bridge hole and is eaten by wild dogs. The second is the TV drama version, and the third is the novel version that everyone is very familiar with.

He also discovered that the novels about Siheyuan were so good that people’s brains would be beaten into dog’s brains. The more chaotic the novels were and the more cruel the protagonists were, the more popular the novels would be. The more normal novels almost all failed.

I don’t know if I would become a book if I traveled through time. If I kill Yi Zhonghai right away, I don’t know if it would become a hit or just fail.

Li Gousheng came to his senses and saw Yi Zhonghai still chattering.

Li Gousheng said speechlessly: "Old Shut the Light, have you said enough? Have I given you face, but I am still learning from you? Learning to take care of chicken feathers? Learning to go to other people's homes and push the door open without the owner's permission? Or learning from you to find someone to take care of your elderly."
