Siheyuan: Starting from Retirement

Long Zhan was also very satisfied looking at the newly renovated courtyard.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

"As long as you are satisfied."

Master Zhang took the money and smiled happily.

"Mr. Long, if there is nothing else, I will go back. If you have anything in the future, please call me at any time."

"Okay, go back slowly."

Long Zhan closed the door and went back to the house.

Just after pouring a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door.

"Da Huang, go open the door."

"Wang Wang~"

Da Huang pulled the bolt.

Liang Ladi was startled when she saw this.

"Don't be afraid, come in."

Hearing Long Zhan's voice, Liang Ladi patted her chest and walked in.

Da Huang closed the door again and went back to his nest.

"Mr. Long, this dog is so smart."

"Yes, Da Huang is very spiritual, girl, come and sit."

Liang Ladi walked over and sat down, pulling the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly.

Long Zhan smiled kindly, "There are still ten pounds of food in the kitchen, go get it."

Liang Ladi looked at the kind old man and nodded gratefully.

"Thank you, Mr. Long, I, I didn't want to come, but I asked others to borrow it, but I couldn't borrow it. Some people returned it, and..."

Long Zhan waved his hand, "It will all pass, don't think too much, take the food and go back."

Liang Ladi nodded and went to the kitchen to take out a bag of food.

Looking at the food that was half less than last time, she didn't feel dissatisfied, but was more grateful.

She felt that Long Zhan must be short of food, but he was still willing to give it to her. How could she not be moved.

"Mr. Long, I'll take half, how will you live in the future?"

"Don't worry, I have a way. Next time you come here, just go through another door. When you leave, go through this side, otherwise it will be bad if you are seen by people in the courtyard."

Liang Ladi nodded with emotion.

Finally, he couldn't help it, put down the bag and hugged Long Zhan, reluctant to let go.

【Liang Ladi, favorability 85. 】

Long Zhan smiled and patted her back, "Don't cry, just live a good life."

"Yeah."

Wait for Liang Ladi to leave.

Long Zhan smiled, "Soon, I can try it when it reaches 100."

Take a sip of tea.

"Hey, I haven't been here for a while, and Long Lao has changed a lot."

"Who said it wasn't, I wonder if he's at home."

Pian Ye and Niu Ye were talking at the door.

Da Huang heard the noise and went over to open the door.

Niu Ye said with surprise: "Wow~ This dog is really spiritual."

"Wang Wang~"

Da Huang shook his head inside.

The two of them were also happy when they saw it, and walked in directly.

Watching Da Huang close the door again.

Long Zhan sat in the house and said with a smile: "Come in."

"Hey~"

After entering the house, Niu Ye gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Long, the dog you raised is really this."

"Haha, come and sit down, you haven't been here for a while."

After sitting down, Pian Ye said: "Hey, people are trying to move less now, life is hard."

Long Zhan poured a cup of tea for the two of them, nodded and said: "Yes, we have to tighten our belts."

Niu Ye took a sip of the tea, and his eyes lit up instantly, "Good tea, better than before."

Pian Ye also drank a sip when he heard it, "Hey, it's true."

Long Zhan smiled and didn't explain anything.

Pian Ye put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Mr. Long, your courtyard is much more convenient now. You don't have to go through the courtyard to go in and out in the future."

"Well, it's also for peace and quiet."

The two nodded, and Niu Ye said: "Indeed, otherwise there will be too much trouble in the courtyard."

Pian Ye drank a sip of tea and said: "Mr. Long, do you still want ancient books? Some family members want to sell them, but they want to exchange them for food."

After hearing this, Long Zhan shook his head and said, "If the price is right, I will accept it, but if there is too much food, I can't do anything."

Pian Ye thought he didn't want it when he saw him shaking his head, but after listening, he felt that this was the case.

"The price is not expensive. There are about a hundred books. If you want to exchange it for 30 kilograms of white flour or coarse grains of equivalent value, it's fine."

Long Zhan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, send it over when the time comes. I still have this little grain."

Pian Ye said happily, "Okay~ I'll send it to you later."

Niu Ye drank a sip of tea and said, "Now in order to eat, some people really sell everything they can."

"Hey, that's also helpless, otherwise who would be willing to sell it? If it goes on like this, I want to sell my yard."

"Are you willing to do it?"

"What can I do if I'm reluctant? Do I have to starve to death to protect my ancestral property?"

After hearing this, Long Zhan smiled, "Yes, there is hope when you are alive, and sometimes you have to know how to make choices."

"Old Long still sees it clearly."The two drank another cup of tea and got up to say goodbye.

Long Zhan first took out the grain and put it in the house, and then took out a small bag of about 5 kilograms.

More than an hour later, Pian Ye brought two people to carry four wooden boxes in.

"Old Long is here."

Long Zhan smiled and asked them to move the big bag of grain away.

Then he said: "Pian'er, this is yours."

Pian Ye also looked happy, and then said: "Old Long, there are too many."

Long Zhan waved his hand, "It's not easy, take it."

"Hey, thank you."

Pian Ye was moved and carried the grain away.

He planned to go to the black market to exchange these for coarse grains at night, so that he could eat for a few more days.

Long Zhan moved his mind and put the box into the space.

There was no unexpected gain.

But the ancient books are good, and there are many handwritten copies of celebrities.

Erhuang caught a pheasant and ran back to the yard happily.

Long Zhan took it and patted the dog's head, "Good, it's time for Da Huang to go out and play."

"Wang Wang~"

Da Huang happily barked a few times and ran out.

Looking at the lively pheasant, Long Zhan threw it directly into the newly fenced nest. There was a net on top, so he was not afraid of running away.

He also threw some vegetable leaves in.

Then he didn't care about it anymore and went back to the house.

Liang Ladi returned home and looked at the half pound of meat and a few apples in the bag, and her heart was warm.

She took an apple, washed it, and then shared it with the children.

"Wow, it's so delicious, mom, you eat too."

"Mom has already eaten at Grandpa Long's place, you eat, mom has to go out for a while, and will come back to cook for you later."

"Okay, mom, I will watch over my brothers."

Turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and went out again with the white flour. She had to exchange them for coarse grains.

Otherwise, it won't last long.

"Master Nan, I have some fine grains here, would you like to exchange them?"

"Hey, Liang Ladi, you can, you must exchange them."

Nan Yi looked at the flour in the bag with a happy face.

He said, "Who is so generous to lend you so much?"

"I borrowed it from an elder, if you want to exchange it, hurry up and give it to me."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get it for you now."
