Just as Zhang Weiguo was sighing at how lively the courtyard was, he heard a knock on the door.
Zhang Weiguo was surprised. He had just arrived here and had no contact with anyone. He didn't know anyone. How could someone come knocking on his door in the middle of the night?
When I opened the door, I saw an old man in his fifties with somewhat gray hair and a kind face. He seemed like someone who was particularly easy to get along with.
Zhang Weiguo asked: "Hello, uncle, what can I do for you?"
Hello, I’m Yi Zhonghai, an old man living in this compound. I heard that new neighbors have moved in, so I came here to see them.
Hello uncle, my name is Zhang Weiguo. Please take care of me in the future.
"Okay, okay. We are all neighbors and we should help each other," said Yi Zhonghai.
I live in the Central Courtyard. You can come to me if you have any questions. Yi Zhonghai said hello and left.
If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would be deceived by your appearance.
There is nothing wrong in finding someone to take care of you in your old age, but it is wrong to scheme against that person and cause his or her family to be broken up.
It's a smiling tiger!
Zhang Weiguo really didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to come. Maybe he heard it from an old lady.
After all, on the first day, an old lady and a group of neighbors knew that Zhang Weiguo had moved into the courtyard, and they had already spread the news.
There are more than 20 households and more than 100 people in the entire courtyard. If there is any family gossip, it cannot be kept secret.
Even what you eat is known to others.
Zhang Weiguo knew that Yi Zhonghai could come because he must have known about the dinner party tonight.
After all, in this day and age, people wouldn’t prepare so many dishes even if they were entertaining guests.
After eating, they packed up all the leftovers. The key point is that they even moved the table and bed away.
This operation really confused them. They really didn't know what was going on, but one thing was certain, that is, Zhang Weiguo was rich, and very rich.
The fact that Yi Zhonghai came to say hello must mean he has some agenda. He would not do something that would be thankless.
Otherwise, with so many people in the courtyard, why were they only kind to the Jia family? It was because they wanted to take care of Jia Dongxu in his old age. Unfortunately, no matter how much they planned, they didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would die.
The old man comes first to send off the young man!
Yi Zhonghai's image as a good guy makes him very prestigious in the courtyard, and even the second uncle is firmly suppressed by him.
There is also a person who has been taking care of a deaf old lady for many years. Although it is an old lady who does this, this old lady is not a simple person. No one knows her specific identity, and it is not introduced in the plot.
Zhang Weiguo knew that this old lady was the most secretive person in the entire courtyard, and it would be best if there was no intersection between them.
The old lady lives at the westernmost end, and Zhang Weiguo lives at the easternmost end. Zhang Weiguo would never go there unless necessary.
The old lady also hides at home and won't come out. Except for an old lady who brings her meals, no one usually goes to visit her.
After seeing the old man off, Zhang Weiguo returned to the house. This time he was targeted. It was not like a few years later when the plot began, so everyone was still restrained.
If Qin Huairu came to order food a few years later, she would do anything for food and she was beautiful.
Especially Shazhu, who was completely obsessed with it and didn't get any benefits. He had to bring lunch boxes every day. His whole family was fat and white, but his own sister was as thin as a bamboo pole.
That was really like going hungry for six meals in three days. No wonder she got married early and never returned to the Siheyuan.
Zhang Weiguo was lying on a large Huanghuali bed. When had he ever slept on such a bed? In later generations, people were not allowed to sleep on such a bed, let alone touch it.
In the future, I will go to the second-hand market to buy some things when I have time.
Two days of the three-day holiday have passed, and there is still one day left tomorrow.
What are you doing tomorrow?
By the way, you can try fishing. Zhang Weiguo has never fished before, not even once, either in his previous life or in the next.
This is a good time to give it a try. If you catch a fish, that's great. If you don't catch any fish, that's fine too.
Doesn't Uncle San go fishing every weekend? You can go fishing with Uncle San.
Zhang Weiguo doesn’t have a fishing rod yet, and he has to go to a fishing tackle store to buy one tomorrow. No matter whether he can catch fish or not, the tools must be professional.
After thinking about tomorrow's arrangements, Zhang Weiguo lay on the bed and fell asleep comfortably.
I just woke up in the middle of the night because I had to pee!
It was really depressing. The bathroom couldn't even be used and I had to go to a public restroom. If I had known, I wouldn't have drunk so much.
Zhang Weiguo took a flashlight and walked towards the toilet. It was the middle of the night and there was no one there.
Toilets in this era are open-air toilets, and these are all fertilizers, and someone is dealing with them.
The smell in the toilet is really strong. I had to endure the smell and run away quickly after using the toilet.
Fortunately, it is not winter now. If it were winter, I would be frozen to the bone and it would be difficult to fall asleep.
Zhang Weiguo returned home and continued to sleep.
It is extremely cold in winter at this time of year, so we need to buy more coal, otherwise there won’t be enough to burn. But if we buy too much coal, what if it gets stolen?
Be sure to build a hut outside and prepare the coal in advance.
So, early the next morning, Zhang Weiguo went out to buy materials and bought a large cart of wood blocks.
First, four pits were dug and a wooden stake was buried in each pit.
Seeing the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they paid them 50 cents each and asked them to work together.
They nailed the wooden blocks together and onto the wooden stakes. They were all rectangular wooden blocks and easy to use. The three of them quickly finished it. It was a small wooden house of five square meters.
It is thirty centimeters above the ground, so there is no need to worry about the coal being soaked by rain.
The two brothers were very happy after earning fifty cents in half a day. They had no human rights at home and were not even allowed to eat an egg. Now they got one dollar and were discussing what to buy for food.
Zhang Weiguo rode his bike out to find a fishing tackle store. It took him a long time to find one. In those days, few people came to buy fishing tackle. Most people just found a rope and made it themselves.
Zhang Weiguo bought a fishing rod, fishing line, fish hook, scoop net, bait and so on.
After buying the tools, I went home to prepare fish food and things for making bait.
Many times, these are not available, and no one would prepare these. But Zhang Weiguo knew about it. He had watched other people’s fishing videos and prepared according to the videos.
Using cornmeal as ingredients, I tied everything on the back seat of a bicycle and rode out.
I don’t know where to go fishing, just look for it!
It depends on whether there are people on the river bank. If there are people, it means there are fish in the river.
Zhang Weiguo found a river with many people and looked at the men fishing. Some of them had caught fish, while others had not caught any.
Zhang Weiguo found an empty seat, away from these uncles. Who knows the identities of these uncles? They are definitely people Zhang Weiguo can't afford to offend, so he better not get in their way.
