The two rooms on the east side of the main house, which are opposite to Su He's house, housed two families.
A young couple surnamed Yuan lived in the east wing, but they were not factory workers; they had bought the house from someone else.
The young couple moved here two years ago. They are quite low-key and don't interact much with other people. Both of them work in a glove factory.
In the other small room connected to the east wing lived a single man in his thirties surnamed Ye. This man was no ordinary person; he was the head of the security department of the machinery factory.
The reason he was able to become the section chief was because he was a veteran with many war merits. If he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have come to their machinery factory.
I heard that his wife died in childbirth when he was young, and he never remarried. He could have lived in a big house given his social standing, but he felt it would be a waste for him to live alone, so he applied for a small room instead.
Section Chief Ye is not very talkative, but people in the institute are quite afraid of him.
The Chen family lived in the east wing next door. The head of the Chen family also worked in the machinery factory, but he was the head chef in the kitchen. He had a good job. His house housed nearly ten people, including the small room in the wing that connected to the front yard wall.
The west wing opposite Su He's house was the same; it was also a large family living together, a household surnamed Huang.
The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Huang, have retired. Their eldest son took over his father's job as a forger in a machinery factory, their second son works as a welder in a car, but only as a temporary worker, and their youngest son is unemployed.
The others were not described in detail.
But with six families living in this backyard alone, no wonder it's so crowded!
That wasn't all; Grandpa Niu then showed them the front yard.
Although the front yard is small and the house is built in the back, it still houses five families.
Even the two rooms at the east and west ends of the main building, which were originally intended to be a toilet and an auxiliary room, have not been wasted and are now occupied.
They are Ma, Song, Luo, Xie, and Han, five families in total.
Among them, Grandpa Ma is the second oldest in their courtyard. Sometimes when Grandpa Niu is not around, he takes charge of things.
However, Grandpa Ma didn't work at the machinery factory; he was a warehouse keeper at a cotton mill. He usually managed to get his hands on a lot of defective fabrics, so he was quite popular.
However, these specific details were not told to them by Grandpa Niu, but rather by Lin Jingyan after they came out.
After settling on the house, Lin Jingyan asked around to get a basic understanding of the neighbors, but he didn't know much. It was late today, so they didn't visit each house individually, planning to wait until after they moved in.
However, based on today's brief understanding, Su He already sensed the complex nature of the people in the courtyard, and estimated that they would definitely encounter a lot of trouble once they moved in.
But that can't compare to her joy at finally having her own little family.
If it weren't for the fact that renovations were still needed, she would have moved there immediately!
...
After viewing the house, Lin Jingyan asked her to buy clothes. Su He thought that his family had given so much money for clothes, so it wouldn't be right not to buy a few items. Therefore, she agreed.
But she didn't try to get special treatment. Considering the current social situation, she bought a few ordinary-colored, good-quality clothes at the department store that wouldn't be too eye-catching when worn casually.
After buying the clothes, Lin Jingyan invited her to his home for dinner.
In fact, he had mentioned it several times before, but either Su He was busy or Lin Jingyan was busy, so they could never meet. Only now did he have the time.
After all, they've already registered their marriage, so it wouldn't be right not to visit the Lin family.
