Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng had just walked out of the west courtyard one after another. When they came back to the middle courtyard, they happened to meet Xu Damao who was pushing his bicycle towards the backyard.

"Ouch." Xu Damao said hello with a smile but not a smile, "Isn't this Yu Liyan's answer? I haven't been here for a while, why did you think of the Intermediate Courtyard today?"

"No." Yan Jiecheng smiled, "We are looking for..."

Yu Li nudged Yan Jiecheng with her elbow, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing, just like you said, I haven't been here for a while, so I came here to hang out and take a look."

"Oh, just take a look." Xu Damao rolled his eyes and continued to smile, "Just take a look, don't you want to visit?"

"That's what I wanted to do." Yu Li said with a smile, "It's not the right time. It's almost dinner time. Next time, I'll visit again next time."

"Don't do it next time." Xu Damao said, "Why don't you come to our house? My family also has to cook. We have meat, vegetables and wine at home. How about we have a drink together?"

"No, no," Yan Jiecheng said with a smile, "We still have something to do, next time, next time!"

"That's right." Yu Li said with a smile, "We really have something to do today, let's talk about it another day."

Speaking of this, Yu Li glared at Yan Jiecheng, who was smiling playfully: "What are you doing standing around? Come on, there are a lot of things waiting for you at home."

After saying that, Yu Li nodded to Xu Damao and left first.

Yan Jiecheng smiled at Xu Damao, and then quickly followed.

Xu Damao squinted his eyes and turned to look at the backs of Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng. He twisted his mouth in disdain and sighed silently.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Damao pushed his bicycle back on and planned to continue walking to the backyard.

However, just when he reached the door leading to the hanging flower in the backyard, Xu Damao suddenly stopped.

No one else, because at this moment, a melodious singing sound suddenly came from the west.

The flowers bloom in spring, the wind in autumn and the setting sun in winter

In my melancholic youth, I once thought this ignorantly

Time takes her away from the four seasons. I sing softly in the song

In the poems of romance, I grow up year by year

The story of running water taking away time changes a person

In that sentimental youth waiting for the first time

…

Hearing this song, Xu Damao frowned, rolled his eyes, and slowly turned his head to the west, looking at the corridor path leading to the west courtyard.

After listening for a while, Xu Damao squinted his eyes, opened them again, turned around and looked at the direction Yu Liyan left, and smiled crookedly: "I understand! Haha! It's really no good to be early, you thief.

Yes!"

After saying that, Xu Damao pushed his bicycle back up, passed the hanging flower gate, came to the backyard, and parked the bicycle in front of his door.

After pushing the door open and entering the house, she happened to see Qin Jingru, sitting in front of the table, holding a mirror and putting on makeup.

Seeing this situation, Xu Damao frowned: "Qin Jingru, what's the matter with you? You don't cook when you get home from get off work, and you stay there all day applying makeup and eyebrows. What do you want to do?"

"You care about me?" Qin Jingru didn't even look at Xu Damao, "Don't you want to divorce me? It's better for everyone to take care of themselves. If you want to eat, you can do it yourself. I won't wait on you!"

"You!" Xu Damao frowned and raised his right hand, "You have become more capable? Believe it or not, I will slap you?"

"Fight, if you have the guts, fight!" Qin Jingru put down the mirror and glared at Xu Damao, "If you dare to hit me, I will immediately call you my silly brother-in-law. Who will suffer when I see you!"

"you dare!"

"Why don't I dare? If you dare to hit me, I will dare to shout!"

Xu Damao raised his hand, but reluctantly put it down: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you today, and I don't want to quarrel with you."

Speaking of this, Xu Damao walked to the table and sat down. He rolled his eyes and said to Qin Jingru: "By the way, guess who I met when I just came back?"

"Who is it?" Qin Jingru picked up the mirror and started tracing her eyebrows again.

"Yu Liyan became a couple." Xu Damao said, "Guess again, where did I meet them?"

"Don't guess!" Qin Jingru said, "I like to talk but don't talk."

"In the middle courtyard!" Xu Damao said, "I met them in the middle courtyard!"

"Intermediate Court?" Qin Jingru stopped tracing her eyebrows and said, "Okay, what are they doing in the Intermediate Court?"

"Who says it isn't?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"This Yu Liyan couple has always been unprofitable and can't afford to stay early. Ever since he moved out, he hasn't come here for many years. Even if he comes, he just eats at his father's place in the front yard and never comes.

Central and backyard, suddenly came here today? Guess what they came for?"

Qin Jingru frowned: "Maybe you are looking for your brother-in-law?"

Xu Damao chuckled: "I thought so at first, but after thinking about it again, it's wrong. Yu Liyan doesn't have much friendship with Shazhu, and they haven't seen each other before. Why do they come here out of season?

Then, I thought about it, when I saw Yu Li and Yan Jie as a couple, they had just come from the west crossing of the central courtyard, now you understand why they are here, right?"

"The west span of the middle courtyard?" Qin Jingru blinked, "That's not it. Isn't that Cao Zhiqiang's house?"

Qin Jingru put down the mirror and eyebrow pencil, looked at Xu Damao and said: "I heard that Cao Zhiqiang has made a fortune recently. He has bought all the other houses in the West Cross Courtyard of the Central Courtyard, and he is the only one there.

Yes, that’s a big deal!

Not only that, they also bought four major new items, including radio and television sets, refrigerators and washing machines, all of which are the first in our hospital!"

Then, Qin Jingru curled her lips and said, "Humph, before, you were the richest owner in this yard. Now, you have to step aside. You are not the richest person."

"That's right." Xu Damao leaned back and said, "There are talents from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones. Who told us back then... Forget it, let's not mention it, it's all in the past."

After that, Xu Damao said: "Guess again, Yu Liyan is a couple, why are you looking for Cao Zhiqiang?"

"Then why." Qin Jingru curled her lips, "Yu Li and Yan became a couple. In the past, they had no friendship with Cao Zhiqiang's family at all. If they really come to him this time, it must be for money!"

"Smart!" Xu Damao chuckled, "How about you follow me? If nothing else, at least your brain will be enlightened! You're smart!"

"Virtue!" Qin Jingru rolled her eyes at Xu Damao, "Who can learn from you? I am not stupid to begin with!"

Xu Damao smiled, picked up two teacups, then picked up the teapot, poured two glasses of water on his own, and then pushed a glass of water to Qin Jingru: "Here, have a drink of water."

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes at Xu Damao again: "To show your courtesy for nothing, to commit adultery or to steal, what do you want to do?"

"No." Xu Damao chuckled and said, "You are my wife, what's wrong with me getting you a glass of water? Drink it, and then we can talk."

"Huh, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Qin Jingru took the glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

Xu Damao nodded and drank his glass of water, then put down the glass and said, "Hey, tell me, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng asked Cao Zhiqiang to borrow money, can they borrow it?"

"How did I know?" Qin Jingru said angrily.

"Let me tell you, I definitely can't borrow it." Xu Damao shook his head.

"Why?" Qin Jingru asked.

"Why else?" Xu Damao sneered and said, "Cao Zhiqiang, that boy from the Cao family, although I'm not very familiar with him, I grew up looking down on him. I also know a little bit about his virtues.

As for that boy Cao Zhiqiang, he has been very selfish since he was a child, and he has always looked like a wolf, just like your sister's family!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Qin Jingru frowned, "Okay, why are you talking about my sister's family?"

"Isn't it?" Xu Damao continued to sneer, "As for that guy, didn't you still want him to be your son and take care of us in our old age? What happened? Soon his true colors were revealed, and he became an unfamiliar wolf cub! "

"Don't mention him." Qin Jingru continued to frown, "No matter what, he is still my sister's child and my nephew."

"Ouch." Xu Damao said, "You still think that Bangge is your nephew, but I don't necessarily recognize you as my aunt.

Tell me, since Da BangGeng started driving for ministries and commissions, has he ever passed by to see you? Not even once, right?

Are you treating you as a relative? I don’t think even ordinary neighbors are like this, right?"

"That's not you?" Qin Jingru glared at Xu Damao, "If you hadn't kicked him out of the cinema, would he have been like this?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Xu Damao said, "Why did I kick him out of the cinema in the first place? Didn't I just listen to you? You were slapped by your sister to drive him away!"

"I..." Qin Jingru bit her lip, "I said that out of anger!"

Xu Damao shook his head: "That's not true. The second uncle was also present at that time. The situation you were in at that time was not just a moment of anger."

"I, okay, okay." Qin Jingru waved her hand, "I drove him away, okay?"

"Yeah." Xu Damao smiled and said, "Actually, you are right to chase away Bangge. Have you heard about the recent Banggeng incident?"

"What's wrong with Banggeng?" Qin Jingru asked.

"Hey." Xu Damao was stunned, "Banggeng has had such a big incident recently, and you don't even know?"

"What do I know?" Qin Jingru said, "I went back to my parents' house two days ago. It's not like you don't know."

"Yes, there is such a thing." Xu Damao nodded, "And when Banggeng was taken away by the police, we were not there and missed the good show.

Later, because of Sha Zhu and Uncle Yi, no one mentioned this matter, and no one told us.

If it weren't for all the buddies I sent out, I would have been kept in the dark about Bangge and Cao Zhiqiang last time, let alone you."

Qin Jingru asked: "Banggeng was taken away by the police? What happened? By the way, I always feel that my sister's family is acting weird recently. If you know, tell me?"

Xu Damao said: "To make a long story short, it's probably this guy. He was jealous that Cao Zhiqiang was rich, so he used to cause trouble for Cao Zhiqiang by looking for the gang of street gangsters that Cao Zhiqiang used to play.

As a result, the gang was so heart-to-heart that they robbed Cao Zhiqiang of 10,000 yuan in the street. Cao Zhiqiang was so angry that he reported it to the police.

The police arrested that group of people, and the mastermind behind them didn't escape.

I heard that fortunately Shazhu went to Cao Zhiqiang to plead for mercy, Cao Zhiqiang wrote a letter of understanding, and Banggeng went to the police station to surrender early, so he was given a lighter sentence and was detained.

Just today, Banggeng's detention period expired and he was released. Shazhu hurriedly asked for leave in advance, went to the police station to take over the job, and quietly returned home.

In other words, Bangge was detained before and was only released today!"

"Really?" Qin Jingru said in surprise.

"My buddy from the police station told me, how can it be false?" Xu Damao said, "And you know, even if the good news comes out, he won't be able to do the job of driving for the ministry.

I've heard it a long time ago. Ever since I was caught doing BangGeng, the ministries and commissions have been planning to start BangGeng.

Damn it this time, even if I can come back, I will soon become a homeless person again!"

"Oh, this is such a terrible joke. My sister is so sad." Qin Jingru shook her head with a smile on her face.

"Who's to say it's not?" Xu Damao also laughed happily.

After both sides smiled happily for a while, Qin Jingru suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute, aren't we talking about Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng? Why are you talking about BangGeng?"

"It's time to talk." Xu Damao said, "By the way, what did I just say?"

"You seem to be saying that Cao Zhiqiang and Banggan are the same thing." Qin Jingru said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Damao said, "Both of them have the same virtues. Moreover, Cao Zhiqiang is selfish, and Yu Liyan becomes a couple and wants to borrow money from him. It's really whimsical."

Qin Jingru said with a smile: "It's possible that I'm giving it a try. Anyway, I won't lose anything if I can't borrow it. It's better if I borrow it. Maybe I feel that Cao Zhiqiang will be bloated if he has money, so he is willing to borrow money."

"That's impossible!" Xu Damao said, "It's said that a person's nature is hard to change. Cao Zhiqiang has been very independent since he was a child. He has never been a man who likes to help others. Now that he has money, it is impossible to lend it to Yu Liyan.

For a couple."

"That's true." Qin Jingru nodded.

"But there's one thing I'm confused about." Xu Damao said.

"What are you wondering about?" Qin Jingru asked.

Xu Damao frowned and said, "That's right. When I met Yu Li and Yan Jie Cheng as a couple, they were talking and laughing, with a proud look on their faces. You said, can't they really borrow the money?"

"That's possible." Qin Jingru nodded, "Cao Zhiqiang used to be stingy because he was poor and had no money, but now that Cao Zhiqiang is rich, why not be generous?

Besides, you are all just guessing. When Yu Liyan became a couple, she was not necessarily looking for Cao Zhiqiang, and even if she was looking for him, it was not necessarily to borrow money."

"Hmph!" Xu Damao said, "I came to the Intermediate Courtyard. I just came out of the West Cross Courtyard. Who else could I look for if I wasn't looking for Cao Zhiqiang? Cao Zhiqiang is not related to the two of them. If he wasn't borrowing money, what else could he be looking for? Is it difficult to find him?

Does he support himself in old age?”

Speaking of this, Xu Damao's expression suddenly changed: "Wait a while, take care of yourself?"

With a sudden slap on the head, Xu Damao suddenly said: "Oh, why didn't I think of that? That's how it is!"

"What are you talking about?" Qin Jingru asked.

"Just take care of yourself!" Xu Damao chuckled.

"What kind of pension?" Qin Jingru frowned, "You don't want to say that Yu Liyan Jiecheng wants to adopt Cao Zhiqiang, right? How is that possible? Even if he has lost his parents, he is not stupid, he is already a grown man!"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes: "It's not Cao Zhiqiang, but Cao Zhiqiang's sister!"

"What sister?" Qin Jingru said, "You mean Cao Lili?"

"No, no, no!" Xu Damao narrowed his eyes, "I'm talking about Cao Lili's biological sister!"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Qin Jingru frowned, "Can you explain it clearly at once?"

Xu Damao narrowed his eyes and said: "So, Cao Lili's biological sister, who is called the beautiful one, you should know about her, right?"

"Of course I know. Who doesn't know about this compound now?" Qin Jingru nodded, "A little girl who just went to elementary school secretly got on the train alone without an adult, and actually came all the way from Nanjing to Peiping.

The third uncle and the third aunt have been telling people about this matter all day long, how could I not know about it?

Ouch, do you think this little girl is so courageous that she dared to get on the train without even having a ticket, and she was not discovered along the way?"

"What?" Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "How could it not be discovered?

My buddies at the police station all told me that the little girl had been discovered on the train a long time ago, but she was so good at pretending that the conductor couldn't bear to drive her away. The conductor protected her all the way to Peking...

…No, that’s not what I’m talking about!”

"Then what are you talking about?" Qin Jingru asked.

Xu Damao narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm talking about children! Children who will provide for us in old age!"

"What did you say?" Qin Jingru's eyes suddenly widened, "The child who will support us in old age? Who?"

"Who else could it be?" Xu Damao tilted his head and glanced, "Of course it's Cao Lili's biological sister! She's so beautiful, you can't remember her just by looking at her."

"Qiao Simei!" Qin Jingru suddenly said.

"Yes, that's her, Qiao Simei!" Xu Damao clapped his hands, "That's her I'm talking about!"

"What do you mean?" Qin Jingru asked.

Xu Damao looked back subconsciously, then leaned his head over and whispered: "Qin Jingru, let's talk about the two of us. In fact, there is not much conflict. In the final analysis, isn't it just that we don't have children?"

"Can you blame me?" Qin Jingru said, "Everyone in our family can have children. My sisters and brothers all have seven or eight children, but I don't have any.

I'm telling you, I'm definitely fine. If you don't believe me, I'll go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.

If it turns out that there's nothing wrong with me, huh, you don't have to divorce me, I'll have to divorce you first!"

"Qin Jingru, what do you mean?" Xu Damao immediately lowered his face, "I'm telling you, don't do that with me, don't go! I've already checked and there's nothing wrong with me. Just take some Chinese medicine and I'll be fine."

"What?" Qin Jingru said, "Is it your brother who is a charlatan again? He is your brother, do you believe what he says?"

"Why don't you believe it? After all, he is also a Chinese medicine practitioner!" Xu Damao said.

"Don't tell me these things." Qin Jingru said, "Anyway, I am definitely fine. You are the one who has the problem!"

"Me!" Xu Damao's anger surged, but he quickly suppressed it, "Okay, let's not talk about this today. I mean, it doesn't matter whether we have children in the future, but this is beautiful, yes, Qiao Simei

, we have to take it over and raise it!”

"Why?" Qin Jingru asked, "If you take it over and raise it, it's not our own child."

"Why don't you understand yet?" Xu Damao said, "No, I also saw Yu Li and Yan Jie coming as a couple, and then I figured it out and finally figured out what they were doing here."

Qin Jingru blinked: "You mean, Yu Li and Yan Jie came here as a couple to find Cao Zhiqiang and to adopt Qiao Simei?"

"That's right!" Xu Damao said, "You must have heard of it before, right? Cao Zhiqiang hired Sophora japonica to be a nanny for his family, and also to be a tutor for Qiao Simei?"

"I've heard of it, what's the matter?" Qin Jingru said.

Xu Damao said: "Do you know why Cao Zhiqiang hired Sophora japonica? They say that Cao Zhiqiang likes Sophora japonica, but I say that's bullshit.

If we put it in the past, it was still possible, but now that Cao Zhiqiang is so rich, what kind of woman can't be found, so he has to find Huaihua?

Of course, I'm not saying that Sophora japonica is not good-looking, I am saying that Sophora japonica is Banggen's younger sister, and Banggen and Cao Zhiqiang have not dealt with each other since they were young, and they don't like each other.

If it were me, Cao Zhiqiang, I definitely wouldn't be able to date the sister of someone I don't want to deal with. Wouldn't this be an advantage to the other party?

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang's initial search for Sophora japonica was a helpless move, just to find someone who could take care of Qiao Simei, and not to delay Qiao Simei's studies.

why?

The reason is very simple. Qiao Simei ran away from Nanjing secretly, and her registered residence and school registration are still in her hometown, so she cannot go to school here.

And judging from Cao Zhiqiang's intention, he didn't mean to send Qiao Simei back to his hometown. He just wanted to keep her here.

But if you want Qiao Simei to stay here to go to school, tell me, what can you do?"

"Transfer to another school?" Qin Jingru said subconsciously.

"How to transfer to another school?" Xu Damao asked, "Her registered permanent residence is not here, how to transfer to another school?"

"Then settle here?" Qin Jingru said.

But soon, Qin Jingru shook her head: "No, although Qiao Simei is Cao Lili's biological sister, she is not related to Cao Zhiqiang, so she cannot settle in his household."

"Yes!" Xu Damao nodded, "So there is only one way, which is to find a local person to adopt Qiao Simei, even in name only!"

"That's right!" Qin Jingru nodded, "Isn't this just like those people who settled in the city through fake marriages and want to fake adoptions?"

"That's right!" Xu Damao nodded.

"But, fake adoption, that's what we call it. In fact, you have to go through the formal procedures. Once it is completed, it is a formal adoption. There are many things involved.

Cao Zhiqiang is so shrewd that he will not just randomly find someone he is not familiar with to adopt Qiao Simei in name. He must find someone reliable.

I was thinking that Cao Zhiqiang might have fallen in love with Yu Liyan, and felt that they had no children, that they were suitable in every aspect, that they were relatively familiar with her, and that they knew her well, so he wanted them to adopt Qiao Simei.

In this way, as long as Yan Jiecheng and his wife adopt Qiao Simei, Qiao Simei can settle in the capital and then go to school.

However, even if Qiao Simei becomes Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng's child in theory, she probably still lives with Cao Zhiqiang, and Cao Zhiqiang pays for tuition and other expenses. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li don't have to spend a penny, and they have a child for free. How nice

ah?"

Qin Jingru frowned: "But even so, it's just an extra child. Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng, as the child's adoptive parents, also have to bear this responsibility. If something happens in the future, they will be involved. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are the two

Shushufa, you are so kind-hearted, are you willing to do this for free?"

"Of course you can't ask Bai to help." Xu Damao smiled coldly, "There are many benefits to adopting Qiao Simei."

"What good can it do?" Qin Jingru asked.

Xu Damao said: "Look, Cao Zhiqiang is so rich now, and he loves his sister so much. If Yu Liyan split up as a couple and adopted Qiao Simei, and Qiao Simei stayed at Cao Zhiqiang's house all day, wouldn't she be close to Cao Zhiqiang?

Already?

I heard that Yu Li was looking around for houses recently and wanted to open a small restaurant, but the money he and his wife had was not enough.

It would be fine if the third uncle is willing to lend money, but you still don’t know what kind of virtue the third uncle has. He is like an iron rooster, never plucking a dime.

So, I thought about it, and it was decided that Cao Zhiqiang and Yu Liyan made a deal as a couple. Cao Zhiqiang lent them money, and then the couple nominally adopted Qiao Simei.

In this way, Yu Li borrowed money from Cao Zhiqiang to open a restaurant, and Cao Zhiqiang was able to solve the problem of Qiao Simei's settling in and going to school through Yu Li's family, and everyone was happy.

But there is still a problem here, that is, no matter what, once Yu Liyan Jiecheng adopts Qiao Simei, then legally, Qiao Simei is their child.

I have heard that according to the new law, children seem to have some obligation to support the elderly.

You see, Yu Li and Yan Jie are married, and they still don’t have any children. If Qiao Simei is their child, if he treats her better, it will mean that Li Yan and Yan Jie are old, and Qiao Simei can really ignore it?

Even if Qiao Simei doesn't care, her sister Cao Lili is a kind-hearted master, so she can't ignore it.

Qiao Simei and Cao Lili took care of Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng. Since Cao Zhiqiang loves their sister so much, how could they leave Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng alone?

So you see, just adopting a Qiao Simei is equivalent to tying up the entire Cao Zhiqiang family.

At that time, before Cao Zhiqiang gets married, even if he can't get all of Cao Zhiqiang's money, just a little bit of him will be enough!

Cao Zhiqiang is great now. He is young and promising, and has a bright future. The key is that he has literary talent, can write poems, and can also write poems that make money.

I don't think any of the young people in this compound are better than him.

I heard that Huaihua and Liu Yuanyuan were trying to seduce him, for what purpose? Wasn't it because they wanted him to be rich?

As for us, we are not young now, and you know that because of what happened back then, there is no hope of progress, so we can only earn a dead salary.

As for you, yes, you are now a public institution, but don’t you also get a dead salary?

Now we are all about reform and opening up, everything is changing, who knows what will happen in the future?

Although, in those two years, I saved some money, but if you don’t worry about the long term, you will have to worry about the near future, right?

Look at Uncle Yi, isn’t he awesome and rich?

He has been an eighth-level fitter for a long time. Over the years, he has accumulated an unknown amount of savings.

But so what? I have no children, my wife just died of a heart attack, and I am all alone. After making so much money, isn’t it true that I got the advantage of Fuzhu in the end?

Of course, Fuzhu didn't fall into place either, he was also a loser.

He talks about having a son and two daughters all day long, but when I look at them, they are all three white-eyed wolves!

When Silly Zhu can make money, they all follow him to suck his blood, which looks pretty good on the surface.

But Xiaodang Huaihua will get married sooner or later, and with their family's family tradition, they probably won't care about their parents' family after they get married.

As for Bangge, there is no way to expect him to raise Silly Pillar.

So, I just thought, if we don’t plan ahead, when we get old and don’t have a reliable child by our side, the future will be unpredictable, don’t you think?"

Qin Jingru blinked: "So, you want to cut off Hu? Before Yu Liyan becomes a couple, adopt Qiao Simei, and by the way, climb up to Cao Zhiqiang, and let their family support us in our old age?"

Xu Damao smiled slightly: "Qin Jingru is the one who knows Xu Damao!"

"Then what are you waiting for?" Qin Jingru said with a smile, "Hurry and go, it's already early! Don't let Yu Liyan become a couple and take advantage of this matter!"

"Okay!" Xu Damao stood up, "Listen here, that girl named Qiao Simei, I promise to get it for you, you, just wait and be safe to become a mother!"
