Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

After coming to terms with the idea, Li Yumei hurried to the east wing of the front yard.

When Auntie Yang Ruihua saw this, she pretended to be kind and reminded him, "Mr. Han, this east wing is not clean. How dare you live here?"

"Third Auntie, it's not the house that is unclean, it's clearly some people's hearts that are unclean."

Li Yumei was furious: "Think about it, if people say that the east wing is not clean, wouldn't it be that our entire No. 95 compound is not clean if it gets out? Last night, the uncle said that we should jointly create an advanced and civilized courtyard. If this courtyard has a bad reputation, it will be difficult for other families to find daughters-in-law in the future..."

Li Yumei is just a soft-hearted person and usually doesn't have the time to talk about gossip. But now, for the sake of her family's future good life, she has to have a good talk with these gossips.

Just imagine, if the news that the east wing is not clean gets out, it will be difficult to find a wife for her eldest son in the future.

Therefore, the more Li Yumei spoke, the more fluent she became.

Yang Ruihua was sprayed with spit, but the more he listened, the more he felt that what Li Yumei said made sense;

Although everyone in the courtyard knew that someone was deliberately trying to make things difficult for the Han family, people outside the courtyard would think that Courtyard No. 95 was not clean when they heard the rumor.

The Yan family lives in the west wing, which is opposite the east wing, so the impact will be even greater.

The most important thing is that I heard that there will be prizes every year after becoming an advanced and civilized courtyard.

Thinking of this, the Yan family would suffer a great loss. Yang Ruihua immediately turned against them and started to curse:

"Which wicked person is spreading rumors like this? The East Wing has been fine for so many years, but now it's suddenly unclean? Can you please accumulate some good karma for your descendants..."

Several women in the yard who originally wanted to laugh at the Han family's joke were confused at first when they heard the third aunt's scolding, but as they listened, they went from questioning to understanding, and then joined in directly.

As more and more people joined in, the whole compound became lively.

People were cursing in the outer courtyard, front courtyard, middle courtyard, and back courtyard, and some even formed groups to curse.

Everyone seemed to be ready to scold the rumormonger.

The real rumormonger was scolded so hard that he stayed at home and dared not show up at all. This has incurred public outrage. Once he is found out, a whole-institution meeting will have to be held tonight to criticize him.

In fact, everyone knew clearly that the rumor was spread by Jia Zhang, but no one pointed it out.

Those who had been bullied by the Jia family joined early just to take the opportunity to curse Jia Zhang and vent their anger. After all, such opportunities do not come every day.

Listening to the various curses from all over the hospital, Han Li shook his head helplessly: This is human nature.

When it has nothing to do with them, they spread rumors more and more enthusiastically, and when things affect them, they immediately get angry.

Tired of scolding, Li Yumei returned to the outer courtyard with her hands on her hips and an attitude of victory.

From then on, no one in the courtyard dared to mention the uncleanness of the east wing.

At the same time, Han Li continued to build his image as a person who loves learning. Perhaps it was because he did not get enough rest last night, so he felt a little sleepy as he watched.

"Goudan, let me show you my little windmill for you to play with for a while."

Hearing his sister's words, Han Li looked up and saw a thin little boy standing under the moon gate.

The little boy's nickname is Goudan. Han Li also knows him and he is a neighbor of the Han family.

The Gou family has four people, with one mother raising three children, and their life is even more difficult than that of the Han family.

What impressed Han Li the most was that last night Goudan’s mother not only donated money to the Jia family, but also lent money to his family.

Goudan’s mother doesn’t have a formal job. She usually takes care of her three children by making matchboxes and shoes and clothes for others to make a living.

These days, poverty is the norm.

It was not difficult to make a paper windmill. Han Li made another one in no time and gave it to Goudan.

"Thank you, Brother Han Li."

Soon, Han Li experienced the powerful force of his motherland's morning glory.

Han Cong, who was lying on the door crack in the room: I’m so envious and want to play so much!

At lunchtime, Goudan took the windmill home. Han Li sighed and murmured to himself: "Forget it, I'll help you again when I have the chance."

In fact, after seeing how much his sister and her friends liked the paper windmill, Han Li thought of doing this business;

Buy some colored paper, make some colorful windmills and sell them in the park square. Even if you can't make a big profit, at least you can make a small profit.

However, this matter is totally inconsistent with his honest and dull personality, and there is a risk of exposing himself.

Therefore, Han Li did not want to be the soft-hearted god.

Probably because she was in a good mood today, Li Yumei used more salt and oil when cooking, and the dish tasted quite good.

"Boss, after dinner, go to the street and buy two pounds of meat. Your dad has a proper job, and we have to celebrate tonight."

Li Yumei felt that the musty smell and moisture in the east wing and the ear room were not serious. She would clean them up and ventilate them this afternoon, and she would be able to move in the next day or the day after tomorrow.

Han Xiaoxiao was the first to cheer: "Great, there's another seven tonight!"

"Xiaoxiao, Daguo will take you to buy some Youyou." Han Li also planned to buy something else to improve his life, and then he would do it in the name of his sister.

Besides, if not now, when will you eat while you are happy?

Han Xiaoxiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared.

I brought my sister to the street and started shopping and eating again.

Meat buns, buy! Tanghulu, buy! White Rabbit milk candy, buy!

These are just ordinary snacks to rich people, but in Han Xiaoxiao's eyes, it's just like Chinese New Year.

Seeing his sister so happy that she was at a loss for words, Han Li sighed for no reason: "The simpler, the happier."

"Big pot, seven sugars."

Seeing his sister putting the candy to his mouth, Han Li had no choice but to eat it. He felt very relieved and said with a cheerful smile: "Thank you, Xiaoxiao."

Afterwards, Han Li took his sister to buy three pounds of meat, a fish, two pounds of eggs and one pound of bean sprouts.

As the saying goes, there is no feast without chicken and no feast without fish.

However, the Han family was so poor that they had to borrow money last night, so it was indeed a bit unreasonable to kill chickens and fish today.

Even without chicken, this dinner was sumptuous enough for the Han family.

When Han Li carried his sister back to Nanluoguxiang, his sister suddenly exclaimed with joy: "Look at the big pot, there are so many little windmills."

Han Li looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a group of children running around with a paper windmill in each hand, having a lot of fun.

It was just a small paper windmill. Han Li was not worried that he would be exposed because of it. He was just a little surprised that this thing could spread so quickly.

Han Li didn't take this matter to heart, and even thought that promoting paper windmills could bring joy to children, which was simply so cool!

However, not long after Han Li returned home and put his things down, Goudan's mother Wang Qiaoyun came to his house and said she wanted to share the profits from the paper windmill.

After listening to what Goudan's mother said, Han Li had a strange feeling of accidentally planting willows and getting a forest of trees. He never expected that Goudan's family really seized this business opportunity.

It turned out that Goudan brought the paper windmill home. Goudan’s second sister was particularly envious of her brother’s new toy. Goudan’s eldest sister, who was dexterous, thought that the paper windmill was quite simple to make, so she tried to make one. Unexpectedly, she actually made it.

After dinner, Goudan and his sister couldn't wait to play with their new toys in the alley, making a group of other children jealous. They went home crying and asking for the toys back.

Most crying children would calm down after being beaten, but there was a woman from a working-class family who was so upset by her child's crying that she found Goudan and his sister and wanted to exchange candy for the paper windmill.

Goudan naturally refused, but Goudan’s second sister knew that her eldest sister could do it, so she happily changed.

After Goudan's second sister returned home, she told her mother and sister about this. The mother and daughter discussed it and decided that making paper windmills was more cost-effective than pasting matchboxes.

As a result, Han Li saw a scene in the alley where almost everyone had a paper windmill.

"Aunt Wang, I can't take this." Han Li waved his hands and refused: "Your family is lucky to make this money, but it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that Wang Qiaoyun was still insisting, Han Li hurriedly changed the subject: "Aunt Wang, if your family really wants to do this business, it's best to go to a crowded place like a park. I passed by the park yesterday and saw a lot of people selling toys."

Upon hearing this, a light bulb went off in Wang Qiaoyun's mind. Yes, not only are there a lot of people going to the park, but they also have money.

Selling paper windmills in the park is much better than the little money she earns now.

"Han Li, this is a token of my aunt's love. If you refuse, I will be angry."

Wang Qiaoyun put down a small cloth bag and turned to leave, anxious to go back and discuss with her eldest daughter about going to the park to sell windmills.

"What a kind person!" Han Li felt complicated as he looked at the candy, peanuts and other things in the small cloth bag.

But on second thought, if Wang Qiaoyun was not an honest person, Han Li would never have pointed out the direction for her family.

As the saying goes, meeting countless people is not as good as having help from noble people. One step of help from a noble person is worse than taking a hundred steps by yourself.

If there hadn't been Han Li's guidance, Wang Qiaoyun would probably have made a little profit by making paper windmills for a few days, and then some other smart person would have discovered the business opportunity and snatched it away.

If you go to the park to sell paper windmills, as they become popular, people will find that paper windmills are so simple that anyone can make them, and ordinary paper windmills will completely lose their market.

At that time, if Wang Qiaoyun wanted to continue selling paper windmills in the park, she had to find a way to make her own windmills more beautiful in color and of better quality, and the corresponding price would be higher.

As long as they do well in this business, the four orphans and their widowed mother will have a much better life in the next few years.

Seeing his sister playing with a windmill in the yard, Han Li was very puzzled: "Other people who traveled through time became plagiarists, but why did I become a plagiarist? Is it because I traveled through time in the wrong way?"
