Siheyuan: I am so good that I became a god of war

At this time, Ding Weidong heard the mechanical voice of the system appear in his mind: "Prank character: He Yuzhu completed; reward: 100 kilograms of soybeans!"

He was slightly stunned, as he never expected that he only got 100 kilograms of soybeans this time.

"Brother, turn up the volume. The Yan family's radio is played very loudly. I was standing outside the courtyard wall but they wouldn't let me in." Yu Xi gently pulled Ding Weidong's arm.

"The only son of the Yan family is Goudan, who is about seven or eight years old. They have radio equipment." Li Qinglian gave a simple explanation.

Ding Weidong gave her a questioning look and then answered. "Um, here is the knob for adjusting the volume. Adjust it yourself!" Ding Weidong put his arm around Yuxi's waist and asked her to turn up the volume.

"Xiao Yu'er, please speak a little softer. It's a bit harsh." Li Qingyu glanced at Xiao Yu'er and asked her to turn down the volume.

Xiao Yuer is very afraid of Li Qingyu, the big sister who never tolerates disobedience.

At this time, the Peking Opera "Shikongzhan" was playing on the radio. Xiaoyuer obediently returned to her swing chair, swaying gently and continued to listen to the program.

"I'm almost done making dumplings." Li Qingyu smiled at He Yushui and said, "I can eat delicious food while listening to the radio later. Brother Dong, do you want to help Yushui make one too?"

"There's still a case at home."

He Yushui was secretly happy in her heart, but said hesitantly: "That would cost a lot of money, I can't accept it like this... Coming to your house for a meal is already a great favor..."

"Yushui, don't think like that. Aren't you going to start working soon? You can give us money when you have money." Li Qingyu said gently, "Brother Dong, how much do you think this radio cost?"

"About ten yuan." Ding Weidong said with a smile.

"I can still afford ten yuan." He Yushui said happily, "My father gave me thirty yuan before the New Year. If the money is not enough..."

"I only get my money back, and I buy the materials myself, and I assemble it on my own." Ding Weidong said with a smile, "Wait, it shouldn't take an hour this time."

As he was talking, Ding Weidong was about to install the radio. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw a small tail behind him.

"Xiao Yuer, why are you following me instead of listening to the radio?" Ding Weidong pinched Xiao Yuer's face, which was not round enough.

"I want to see how you pack that singing box." Xiao Yuer said happily, "When I get home, I'm going to tell Brother Goudan that my brother can make a radio!"

"Okay, just watch from the side." Ding Weidong nodded. He placed the little fish on the pit and said, "You can only watch, don't dare to touch it casually."

"Yeah, I've always been very obedient." Xiao Yuer nodded his head hurriedly.

Seeing Xiaoyuer's energetic side, Ding Weidong felt deeply moved; recalling the appearance of Xiaoyuer when he first met her, he still feels sad.

After leaving Ding Weidong's residence, Sha Zhu came to the next yard, lifted the door curtain and entered Yan Bugui's house on the west side. Sitting in the house were the Yan family members who looked listless.

This is the straw mat that Yan Bugui purchased with great difficulty.

Yan Bugui has a dilapidated radio, which he usually listens to alone, and he tries to turn down the volume, thinking that this can save electricity.

The machine he used needed to be powered by batteries, while Ding Weidong's used a cable-connected radio with a small step-down device inside.

In addition, they also set up separate electricity meters and water and electricity counters to prevent future cost disputes. If a new power-consuming device is added, the distribution of electricity charges will become more difficult to clarify.

There is only one electricity meter for the entire yard, and the lighting power and usage of each household need to be calculated and accounted for, and this work can only be done by Yan.

Previously, Yan Bugui could listen to it well by himself. Now, the sound of Peking opera was heard from Ding Weidong's room. Yan's family realized that Ding Weidong's homemade radio was complete.

"Tsk tsk, I never expected his skills to be so amazing." Yan Bugui couldn't help but sigh: "Don't even mention being a director or anything like that. Just based on his carpentry skills and his ability to assemble radios, he must be living a comfortable life."

"Dad, don't use this radio alone. Today is New Year's Day, you should turn it up louder so that everyone can have some fun." Yan Jiecheng suggested with a slight complaint.

"Do you want to listen too?" Yan Bugui asked leisurely.

"Yes, yes, we all want to listen to it." Yan Jiefang echoed.

"That's no problem. It's one cent per hour. Let's pay for one hour first. The three of you only need to pay three cents, and Jie Di doesn't have to pay."

Of course, the three of them were unwilling to pay that insignificant penny - it would make them look like stingy black-eyed chickens.

"What are you doing here, Shazhu?" Yan Bugui asked unhappily.

"I'm not here to look for you." Sha Zhu pouted and replied, "Yan Jiecheng, do you want a chance to make money? Help me clean up the snow in the yard, and I'll give you two yuan."

Although the yard was full of snow, it had been piled up in a pile. It was easy to clear it out, but it was time-consuming and laborious.

"Great, great." Yan Jiecheng agreed immediately

"Then you and Yan Jiefang can clean up together. When you are done, just come to me for your salary." Sha Zhu said and was about to leave. At this time, Yan Bugui immediately shouted: "Hey Sha Zhu, count me in."

"You should have understood this a long time ago, right?" Sha Zhu squinted his eyes and responded, "Okay, okay, sir, stop trying to be smart."

Sha Zhu returned to the door of Jia's house and was about to go in when he found that Jia Zhang was blocking his way.

"What are you going to do? What do you want to do?" Jia Zhang asked in an unpleasant voice.

"What? Aren't we supposed to make dumplings tonight..." Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment.

"This is our family reunion dinner." Jia Zhang twisted her neck and retorted, "Celebrating the New Year with us is just sharing a New Year's Eve dinner. Do you think you can keep eating here for free?"

"Damn it! I brought so many things, but I only ate a little bit of them. And you still have the audacity to ask me..." This made Sha Zhu so angry that he was fuming. "I'm going to go to the office and see how you can argue!"

All the food eaten at today's reunion dinner came from what he brought, but only about half of it was used. It can be guessed that the rest must have been greedily taken away by the Jia family.

It was a very smart decision for Sha Zhu to go to the office for help - if he hadn't met Qin Huairu, his IQ would have been more than enough for this matter.

"Zhu Zi..." Qin Huairu moved closer. She was still busy making dumplings, pretending not to see him, but now she couldn't hide any longer: "It's really not easy for Dongxu to support our family."

"We can have a happy New Year this time because of your help. You live alone. By the way, your sister seems to have a lot of New Year gifts."

"Can't you enjoy it with your sister? A little is enough for a girl."

He shook his head while standing opposite Sha Zhu and talking, making Sha Zhu's mind a mess.

"Well, Sister Qin is right. Then I'll go back." Sha Zhu said with a stupid smile.

When Lengzhu returned home and looked at the messy house, he couldn't help feeling annoyed. He found a bottle of white wine under the bed, searched for some peanuts on the kitchen cabinet, and drank alone.

At about 9:30 in the evening, Li Qingyu and He Yuhan arrived at Lengzhu's residence. He Yuhan brought a radio, while Li Qingyu held a pot of delicious dumplings made of sorghum stalks.

After putting the dumplings away, Li Qingyu left immediately. Then, He Yuhan placed the radio on the table and carefully turned on the honeycomb coal stove, intending to wait for the water to boil so that she could cook the dumplings and listen to the program. She planned to wait until 12 o'clock before going to bed.

He Yuhan, who was sitting at the table, turned on the radio and carefully adjusted the frequency. Then he locked onto a channel that was broadcasting crosstalk and started playing.

But I didn't expect that someone would knock on the door at this moment. Leng Zhu's voice came, "Sister, open the door quickly!"

He Yuhan responded calmly: "Brother Leng, what do you need?" She stood in front of the door, blocking Lengzhu's way to enter the room.

Leng Zhu stretched his neck to peek into the room. "Xiao Yu, your radio...?"

"I bought the parts and asked my brother to assemble it," He Yuhan said calmly, "Brother Leng, go back to your room and have a rest. Don't drink too much."

Leng Zhu said in surprise: "Wow, there are dumplings! I like dumplings stuffed with chives the most. Give me a big bowl of them..."

"Brother Leng, the food you have for the New Year is much richer than what I have at home, so why are you trying to take advantage of me? Go back home quickly, otherwise the situation will be very embarrassing..." He Yuhan replied.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to help the hearing-impaired old lady up and walked towards the courtyard behind the house. At the same time, he frowned at He Yuhan and said, "Yushui, Zhuzi is your brother, so what does it matter if he wants to eat a bowl of your dumplings?"

"What's the big deal? What I want to say is that I don't even make a penny!" He Yuhan said coldly, "Brother Leng, you are rich now. You prepared more things for the Spring Festival than I did, and gave them all to the neighbor's woman. Then why do you have to take my food? You have to remember that we have been separated for three years."

"In these years, I have never received any snacks or melon seeds from you, my brother. How dare you ask for what I have?

Not to mention that during the days we lived together, the ten dollars of living expenses were more or less consumed by you. Even the allocated food portions were given to you as gifts.”

"But luckily I didn't starve to death at that time. I can only say that I was lucky!" Leng Zhu was speechless after hearing He Yuhan's words: "This... Yuhan, about me..."

"Xiaoyu, why don't you know the principle of unity? Your brother Leng's performance is quite outstanding. As a person, you should not only care about your own needs but also take the initiative to help others! If you help others, others will definitely be willing to help you in the future." Yi Zhonghai said with a serious face.

"Uncle, you haven't met me, Brother Leng, so your words have no effect on me." He Yuhan replied calmly: "For example, do you really dare to say these words in front of Director Wang?"

Faced with this question, "This..." Yi Zhonghai was confused for a moment.

"So, only this big idiot was driven by you to give all his belongings to the neighbor's woman during the New Year!" He Yuhan said fiercely: "He didn't even have any New Year food to enjoy at home."

"Ha, today's New Year's dinner was prepared by that silly brother alone, right? You are just a big shot. By the way, I really don't want to make sacrifices for other people in this courtyard. Similarly, I also hope that they won't need to help me in the future."

After He Yushui finished speaking, he wanted to close the door.

"He Yushui, how can you talk to me like that?" Sha Zhu got angry: "Hurry up and apologize to me."

"Apologize? Why do you need to apologize? We can't just listen to one person's opinion now." He Yushui said coldly: "Silly brother, do you want to use violence? Okay, see if you dare to touch me."

"I can also not ask Brother Dong to solve it. I can go directly to the police station, or tell your boss everything you have done over the years. I'm sure you will regret it later."

Sha Zhu looked at He Yushui with an expression of disbelief: "You...why did you become like this?"

"How did you change? I've grown up, and I'm about to graduate and start working." He Yushui said lightly, "Don't put yourself in a difficult position anymore. When I leave this courtyard, we won't meet again."

"Your life or death has nothing to do with me, and my survival has nothing to do with you either. You live a life of mediocrity, and I am exactly the same."

Yi Zhonghai looked sullen, and the deaf woman was also angry. However, they both knew that there was nothing they could do at this moment, otherwise the situation would only become more difficult.

"Yushui, you and Shazhu are nominally siblings. When he encountered difficulties..." The deaf woman had to comfort him herself.

"Wait a minute, didn't Silly Brother always call you grandma, and didn't you always say he was a sensible grandson? Why do you see him being schemed against now?" He Yushui sneered, "Besides, during the New Year, you saw him just getting drunk and drinking. And Uncle, you dragged him to the Jia family to celebrate the New Year."

"Are you ignoring it all now?"

Faced with this, Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a while before quickly answering: "Shazhu is a good person, willing to help people in trouble..."

"Haha, what difficulties does the Jia family have? Master, think it through first! Do you need me to invite Mr. Wang to help you?" He Yushui smiled lightly: "At the same time, why didn't you help them when they encountered difficulties?"

"You are Jia Dongxu's master, you can't just give them a few cents."

"This foolish idiot wants to take everything from me. That's right, it's not your fault. If he doesn't have this idea, you can't deceive him!"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned livid and his body was staggering, obviously angered by He Yushui's scolding.

"He Yushui, you want to be beaten, right?" Sha Zhu shouted angrily.

"Hmph, the fact is that you are willing to get into trouble, so I am meddling in your affairs." He Yushui shook his head.

"Then, Silly Zhu, you can go to my house to eat these days. I believe my master will not ignore you." The deaf woman said coldly. "It's a good opportunity for you and your son to have a drink."

Under such circumstances, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to agree. He knew that there were many people watching behind the doors and windows.

"Silly Zhu, why don't you come to me when you don't want to eat? Why should I be polite to you?" In order to ease the situation, Yi Zhonghai said: "Tomorrow I will ask my wife to call you to eat early in the morning."

Sha Zhu, with a face full of gratitude, said: "Thank you grandma and grandpa, you always care about me like this."

He Yushui was full of disappointment. She had just made a desperate attempt to make the couple realize their mistake. She had hoped to wake up Sha Zhu, but now it seemed to be of no use.

"What a fool!" He Yushui whispered.

"Yushui, take your radio to grandma's house and let her have some fun." Shazhu said, "She's alone at home..."

This sentence made the deaf grandmother happy, and she was looking forward to He Yushui taking out her radio.

In fact, the deaf grandmother could certainly afford a radio, but it seemed inappropriate for a person in need of social care to buy a radio, just as it would be strange for a recipient of social assistance today to install a high-end cinema in their home.

"I live alone too." He Yushui said calmly, "Besides, my grandma can't hear well, so what good can a radio do! If you want to honor your grandma, use your own things. Don't use someone else's."
