Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

When there was still an hour left before the time appointed by the big leader, Cao Zhiqiang got ready, then put his guitar on his back, climbed on his travel bag, got on the second-hand bicycle, and headed to the big leader's house alone.

For this meeting, Cao Zhiqiang not only took a shower and had a haircut in advance, but also specially changed into a Chinese tunic suit.

Although it is a Chinese tunic suit, the Chinese tunic suit worn by Cao Zhiqiang is not cheap. It is made of real wool, that is, wool.

Not to mention now, even in future generations, wool will be quite expensive.

The Chinese tunic suit worn by Cao Zhiqiang is a handmade Chinese tunic suit that he customized in advance. He specially added a slimming effect on the waist, so when worn on a thin person like Cao Zhiqiang, it is particularly stylish and full of high-end feeling.

Let's put it this way, just because Cao Zhiqiang is wearing a woolen tunic suit and big black leather shoes, if he goes out, people will definitely think that he is a young cadre.

Along the way, under the envious eyes of others, Cao Zhiqiang came to the big leader's community calmly.

There were still two serious-looking armed guards at the door, and it looked like it was not a place that ordinary people could enter.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang walked over and said his name, he was quickly let through. It seemed that he had indeed greeted him in advance.

When Cao Zhiqiang pushed the bicycle in, he was still secretly sighing at the word "awesome".

Big men are just different.

According to memory, after arriving at the big leader's villa, the nanny immediately took him to the living room.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw the big boss playing Go with a gray-haired old man.

Seemingly aware of Cao Zhiqiang's arrival, the senior leader immediately put down his chess pieces and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "Hey, Xiao Cao is here. He's here quite early."

Cao Zhiqiang immediately smiled and said: "Boss, no, Uncle Xu, you gave the order, of course I have to come in advance."

"Hahaha." The big leader, no, Uncle Xu laughed, "Little Slippery, you can't wait any longer, right?"

"A little bit." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled and scratched his head.

At this time, the gray-haired old man who had been sizing up Cao Zhiqiang silently since just now suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Old Xu, is this the Cao Zhiqiang you are talking about? But what did he call you just now? Uncle Xu?"

Uncle Xu laughed again: "Yes, Lao Wang, I think this little guy is quite interesting, so let him call me Uncle Xu. Otherwise, he will always imitate Silly Pillar and call him a big leader. I always think it sounds like

strange."

"That's it." The gray-haired old man nodded, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang, "Little comrade, my surname is Wang. Since you call Lao Xu Uncle Xu, you can also call me Uncle Wang."

Cao Zhiqiang immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, Uncle Wang."

"Haha." The gray-haired old man smiled slightly, nodded and said to Uncle Xu, "It's interesting. He's good at hitting snakes and catching them with a stick."

"Haha." Uncle Xu smiled again, "I told you, you won't be disappointed."

Uncle Wang smiled faintly, looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "I hope so."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang just stood there grinning and scratching his head.

Of course, this was all pretense, because he knew early on that this Uncle Wang was not simple.

Also, if you can discuss friendship with a big leader and speak so rudely, how can there be such a simple person? Just lick him.

Therefore, pretending to be shy and embarrassed appropriately can actually give people a good impression.

At the very least, it will give people a feeling of innocence.

In this case, even if you offend someone with your words later, you can still smooth things over by being young, energetic and ignorant.

However, these little tricks are enough if you use them a little, but they are not enough, and they are only suitable for his age.

If you're like Silly Zhu, you won't be able to play this trick anymore.

At this moment, as if he could see Cao Zhiqiang's "embarrassment", Uncle Xu glared at Uncle Wang: "Look, you are doing your trick again. Who are you showing off to me? It scared Xiao Cao

.”

Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, but said nothing.

At this time, Uncle Xu turned to Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Xiao Cao, where is Silly Zhu? He didn't come with you?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "No, silly, no, Uncle He told me on the phone before that he wanted me to come alone and meet here together. There is no need to meet in advance."

"That's it." Uncle Xu nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, "Wait, what did you say on the phone? Do you have a phone at home?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I just bought a courtyard house a few days ago, just over Houhai. Then I installed a phone to make it easier for others to contact me."

"Oh? Don't you want to live in your original courtyard house anymore?" Uncle Xu asked again.

"I can't live anymore." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "The original residence was crowded with people. Although it is the ancestral home, I grew up there and am quite sentimental, but..."

"But what?" Uncle Xu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang deliberately smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xu, you are a smart man, so I won't hide it from you.

You should know that if I were still the poor me I was before, I would have no problem continuing to live there.

But now that many people in the compound know that I am rich, it is not appropriate to continue living there.

As for the reason, you can guess it even if I don’t tell you.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about something that happened a few days ago.

A few days ago, out of kindness, I just lent three thousand yuan to a man named Yan Bugui in our hospital.

Yan Bugui is an old man in our compound, known as the third uncle, and he is quite authoritative in the compound.

He personally stopped me and asked me to borrow money. If I didn't borrow money if I really had money, it would be a loss of his face and embarrassment for me.

So, out of consideration for the situation and because I was young and was being talked about, I lent him the money in a non-committal manner.

However, I realized later that it was inappropriate to lend him so much money.

If this news gets out and I continue to live there, will Ansheng still have a life?

There must be people coming to borrow money from time to time!

That's all. The key is that there are many people who have ideas about my sister."

"Taking ideas about your sister?" Uncle Xu asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's right, I have an adopted sister who was adopted by my parents when they were in Nanjing. Later, when my parents returned to Peiping, they brought her back with them.

Then, after my parents passed away, my only relative here was my sister, and when I was at the lowest point in my life, it was my sister who had been taking care of me, so I didn’t care about this sister who was not related by blood.

I have always treated her like a biological sister.

Later, my younger sister's biological sister in Nanjing secretly took a train to Peiping to look for us alone, without an adult taking her.

And this sister’s biological sister never leaves once she comes.

Of course I have to take good care of it.

For this reason, I specially spent money to hire someone to tutor the adopted sister's biological sister, because I was afraid that she would not be able to go to school after she came here and would fall behind in too much homework.

However, it was fine before, but since people knew that I was rich, many people started targeting my sister's biological sister.

Several groups of people have approached me and said they want to adopt my adopted sister's biological sister, hoping to establish friendship with me through this method."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "If it's just to borrow money, that's fine, but to target my sister's biological sister is a bit too much.

My adopted sister's sister is still a child and is easily influenced by others, so if...it's not appropriate anyway."

After shaking his head, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Also, I am now a creative person, and creation requires a quiet environment.

I'm not saying that the neighbors in the compound are not good, but that in that environment, especially in my current situation, it would be impossible for me to still live there and create quietly there.

.

So I had no choice but to move out and install a phone. I only gave my phone number to a few very good people, such as Uncle He.

Do you understand my difficulties now, Uncle Xu?"

"Haha, that's it. I understand." Uncle Xu nodded, and then smiled slightly, "I forgot that you are now a rich man with a net worth of over 500,000, so it is really inappropriate to continue living in the same place."

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Xu sighed: "When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. The ancients are sincere and I don't want to bully you."

At this moment, Uncle Wang smiled faintly: "Comrade Xiao Cao, do you mind if I call you that?"

"Of course I don't mind." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly.

Uncle Wang nodded: "I have heard of you, the poet Qiangzi, who is very popular in the capital recently. I have also heard of your name and read your masterpieces.

But, did you really earn half a million just from that collection of poems?"

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Uncle Wang smiled: "Can you tell me more specifically how you make money? After all, normally, you can't make that much money from a collection of poems."

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang nodded again, and then told how he originally submitted his poems to poetry magazines, and how he later worked with the publishing house to publish a collection of poems in the form of royalties.

However, just as Cao Zhiqiang was about to speak, Uncle Xu suddenly said: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you stand there all the time. Come and sit down. Let's sit down and chat while no one else is here."

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's stunned look, Uncle Wang nodded kindly: "Yeah, stop standing there like you're giving a report. Come sit down and talk. Just say whatever you want. It's okay."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, and then smiled brightly: "Okay, sirs, then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
