Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

The military compound is located on Zhengyi Road, not far from Tiananmen Square.

There are more than a dozen three-story buildings in the compound, which can be considered luxury houses in that era.

Cao Xing walked to the gate and handed his letter of introduction to the soldier on guard.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Xingzi?"

When Cao Xing heard this, he looked and saw an old man with gray hair in the guard room looking at him.

Cao Xing smiled knowingly: "Uncle Guan, you really have good eyesight. I have been away for several years but you still recognized me at a glance."

The guard room is usually guarded by soldiers, but Old Man Guan is responsible for cleaning up the garbage in the compound and rests in the guard room when he has nothing to do.

"Hey, I heard you went to the south. Did you bring back any local specialties?"

"Hey, what specialties? You know clearly what the situation is in the country right now. Even the Forty-Nine City is being supported by the whole country, not to mention other places."

Old Master Guan nodded and said, "That's true. Life is getting harder and harder."

Cao Xing laughed and said, "What are you talking about? If you are full, your whole family will not be hungry. I wonder how much better you are than the people outside!"

The old man Guan's beard twitched, and he raised his hand to hit me: "I say, you little bastard, are you cursing me to be alone?"

Cao Xing took the soldier's letter of introduction and ran away, shouting, "Old man, I'll bring you some local specialties to honor you later. I'm leaving now."

Grandpa Guan showed a kind face, looked at Cao Xing running away, and murmured to himself: "This kid, you run fast."

This old man Guan is a genuine five-guarantee household. He himself is an old soldier from the Red Army period. His wife died together with three Japanese devils with a grenade, and his three sons all died in the battle one after another. It can be said that his family is full of loyal martyrs!

Therefore, even though this old man is picking up garbage in the yard, everyone in the military compound, no matter how high their rank, respects this old man very much.

Cao Xing had great respect for such an old senior, and secretly promised to bring some good things when he came back next time.

Soon, he arrived at Uncle Wang's house in his memory.

"Why did you come back just now?"

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Wang Xingguo's loud voice.

When Yang Lirong saw him come back, she hurriedly brought a large bowl of chicken soup from the kitchen. The aroma was simply amazing.

"Uncle Wang, Yang Weimin arranged two rooms for me near the factory and spent the whole afternoon on this matter."

Wang Xingguo nodded and said, "Well, this place is indeed quite far from the steel mill, and it's not very convenient for you to go back and forth."

Aunt Yang said worriedly, "How are you going to live and eat alone? I'll go clean it up for you tomorrow and take a look at the environment."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Aunt Yang, I haven't been alone outside these years for nothing. Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Wang Xingguo also agreed: "That's right, don't worry about it. This kid has hands and feet. He is much happier than we were when we crossed the snowy mountains. This little difficulty is nothing!"

Cao Xing also joked a few times to make Yang Lirong less worried.

"Xiaoxing, drink the chicken soup while it's still hot. I'll go get you a set of bedding so you can take it away tomorrow morning."

Wang Xingguo took out a stack of big black tens and a few bills from his pocket and said, "You can use this money to buy something. You are grown up now. When I was your age, I had killed more than a dozen Japanese devils. You should be smarter in the future and keep a low profile if possible."

Wang Xingguo's words instantly made Cao Xing think of something, but he didn't point it out. It was too early to say anything now.

"Don't worry, uncle. I know what to do. Some of the children from the big courtyards are going too far. These people are too aggressive. I won't do that."

Wang Xingguo's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this boy could guess his thoughts. He immediately patted him on the shoulder.

"Boy, you are teachable. Hahahaha!"

Cao Xing had no choice but to drink only half a bowl of chicken soup before saying he was full and going back to his room to rest.

He knew that Uncle Wang and Aunt Yang had been waiting for him to come back, so they definitely couldn't bear to drink the chicken soup.

As the second day arrived, Cao Xing signed in silently.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning 2 Big Black Tens, 1 Pig, 4 Maotai, and 1 Bicycle Ticket. ]

"This reward is much less, but it is shocking enough for ordinary people."

His mind sank into the space, and he immediately discovered that the ten piglets, chickens and ducks had grown a lot bigger.

"Is the speed of time inside different from that outside?"

In order to verify this idea, he looked at the clock in the room, and his body immediately entered the space. He stayed there for about ten minutes and came out. However, only one minute had passed outside!

After a few more experiments, I found that the speed of time flow was about ten times faster.

Doesn't this mean that his farming ability has increased tenfold?

He immediately kept six breeding pigs and castrated the remaining four and placed them separately.

It seems that the first thing I have to do in the future is farming.

But it’s better this way. The country is facing many disasters right now. Although he is powerless, he can do his part and live with his conscience.

He drank the primary physical potion, and his mind became much sharper than before. He remembered the major events that had happened over the years. If he had the ability, he would help those seniors who were fighting on the front line!

However, you have to do it in the right way and hide yourself well, otherwise it is only natural that you will be sliced ​​into pieces.

After sorting out his thoughts, he went out early and went to check on the bicycle first. It was indeed inconvenient to stand on his feet all day.

There's not much to say about bicycles. The three brands, Phoenix, Fei Ge and Forever, are very similar, with similar quality and price.

Cao Xing picked up a Phoenix brand bicycle at random, paid the money and the ticket, and went to the police station to get it stamped. It was around eight o'clock when he finished everything.

He didn't buy the bicycle to show off. After all, he came from the future, so it was good enough that he didn't dislike the bicycle.

But he underestimated the impact of the bicycle. The new bicycle, coupled with his face which was slightly uglier than that of the readers, would definitely attract people’s attention!

He went directly to the vicinity of the Workers' Stadium, where a large number of craftsmen were located.

After half an hour of questioning, I learned about the current market conditions and then walked up to a carpenter.

"Master, I want to make two sets of furniture. What's your price?"

The master looked honest and when he saw the customer coming, he hurried to greet him.

It’s hard to find work nowadays. People use their spare money to buy food. How can they trade it for furniture?

"Sir, I need to see the size of your home before I can set the price. Of course, the price is absolutely fair. You can also rest assured of my craftsmanship. I have been in this business for nearly ten years, and my craftsmanship is impeccable."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, what's your name?"

The middle-aged man quickly replied: "My name is Li Xiu, and my family has been carpenters for generations."

"My name is Cao Xing. Brother Li, do you know anyone who can paint the walls? I just got a new room and I want to tidy it up."

"I know him, I know him. I know at least a dozen of them."

"Okay, call someone over to come and take a look with me."

Li Xiu quickly called a man in his thirties.

"Comrade Cao, his name is Zhao He. I have been friends with him since childhood. His skills are impeccable. Don't worry about the price. It is absolutely fair."

Cao Xing nodded and took them into the courtyard.

It's working hours now, and there are only a few women in the yard hanging out together and gossiping.
