Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 8 Moving into a courtyard (signed, please follow up)



Two days later.

"Director Liu, I'm sorry to bother you!"

At the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, two young men walked out of the gate. One of them was about 20 years old and had a dignified appearance. He was Xiang Yunduan.

The other one, who he called Officer Liu, was about thirty years old and a clerk in the subdistrict office. He was wearing a black tunic suit and looked very capable and steady.

"Hey, Haitang, Xiaoxiang, your level is quite good!"

Officer Liu took the cigarette handed over by Xiang Yunduan and took a look at the Haitang brand cigarettes. A hint of surprise appeared on his face. The Haitang brand was not cheap and he was usually reluctant to smoke it.

"How can I? I'm here today to go through the on-boarding procedures. I just bought it with gritted teeth. If Brother Liu likes it, just put it on. I don't smoke either. I won't waste it anymore!"

Xiang Yunduan lit a cigarette for Officer Liu and stuffed the remaining half pack of cigarettes into his pocket.

Apart from anything else, Xiang Yunduan still has a way of looking at people. Manager Liu looks meticulous and seems to be a very rigorous person, but in fact he is lively on the inside.

"The house assigned to you is not far away, in Nanluogu Lane, No. 95. There is a large courtyard with three entrances. There are quite a lot of people living there. There are a few thorns in it, especially There is a guy named Jia Dongxu, and his family is famous for being messy, so be careful when you live there!"

Director Liu was very satisfied with Xiang Yunduan's "sensibleness" and patted him on the shoulder and gave him some advice.

"It seems that the Haitang cigarettes I bought were not in vain!" Xiang Yunduan muttered in his heart.

Today's cigarettes are roughly divided into four grades: A, B, C and D. Grade A, such as the Zhonghua brand from Shanghai Cigarette Factory, the Violet brand from Qingdao Cigarette Factory, the Hengda brand from Tianjin Cigarette Factory, etc., all cost more than one yuan per pack.

There is a joke nowadays, "Smoking to the blue sky, you will be as happy as a god." This blue sky refers to the three cigarette factories in Shanghai, Qingdao, and Tianjin.

The Haitang brand that Xiang Yunduan bought is a high-end cigarette from the Qingdao Cigarette Factory. It is one of the most expensive cigarettes among the second-class cigarettes. At 86 cents per pack, most people can't bear to smoke it.

Xiang Yunduan also went through the formalities of joining the job and changing his household registration today, so he bought a pack to build relationships. Like the big front door he bought for his grandfather and father before, it was only Class C, and a pack only cost 30 cents.

The two of them talked and soon arrived at the place.

It's noon now, and people have started cooking. The yard is very lively. As soon as Xiang Yunduan followed Director Liu in, he saw several people, but they were basically women and children. Most of the men went to work. It should be noon Won't come back to eat.

"The room you are assigned is between the front yard and the middle yard, in the west hall!"

After entering the gate and turning through the hanging flower door, you can see the main hall at a glance.

There are four inverted rooms in the front yard, east and west wing rooms and wing rooms, and two main hall rooms around the second door.

"Aunt Yang, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Sun, these are the new residents in the courtyard. The famous name is Xiang Yunduan. He works in the slaughterhouse and will live in the West Chuantang from now on!"

Seeing strangers coming into the yard, several women who were lighting a fire for cooking all looked over. Officer Liu obviously knew these people, so he introduced them.

"Hey, hello, Comrade Xiang, I live in the west wing. Our two families are next to each other. We will have more contacts in the future!" A woman in her late forties said enthusiastically.

"This Aunt Yang, her lover is Teacher Yanbu Guiyan from our street primary school." Director Liu introduced her.

"Hello, Aunt Yang!" Xiang Yunduan said, and then greeted several others.

"What's going on? Where did the things in here come from?"

Several people were talking. Over there, Officer Liu pushed open the door of the west hall and saw a lot of sundries piled inside.

Xiang Yunduan took a look over and saw that the house he was assigned was pretty good, about 20 square meters, but it was a bit messy inside.

"Aunt Yang, is it from your family?" Officer Liu turned around and asked.

"No, no, this belongs to the Jia family in the Intermediate Court." Aunt Yang shook her head.

"Play the piano randomly! This house used to belong to the public, but now it has been given to Comrade Xiang. Why should the Jia family occupy it? It is really unreasonable!"

Officer Liu's face turned cold and he walked directly to the middle courtyard.

A strange smile appeared on Xiang Yunduan's face, and then he followed Officer Liu into the middle courtyard.

"Why does it feel so familiar!"

When Xiang Yunduan first heard about Nanluoguxiang and Jia Dongxu from Officer Liu, he didn't react yet. But when he came in and heard Yan Bugui's name again, he finally realized something was wrong.

I'm afraid this isn't a time-travel to the world in the TV drama "Siheyuan".

Before time traveling, he hadn't watched much of this TV series, but he had read a lot of fan novels. There was a time when he was so addicted to watching this one that he couldn't stop at all. He didn't expect that he would also come to this world now.

Different from other time-travelers who live in a courtyard house with words of disdain but honest body, now that he knows that he lives in this famous courtyard house, he is quite happy.

How wonderful the courtyard is. Everyone in it is full of talents. Crouching dragons and phoenix chicks, which are rarely seen in the outside world, can be seen everywhere in this courtyard.

The moral god Yi Zhonghai, the father is kind and the son is filial to Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui is good at giving, the cook does not steal He Yuzhu, he is normal, Xu Damao, hangs on the wall Jia Dongxu, the ring guard Qin Huairu, the white-eyed thief Jia Banggan, the money is not available Yan Jiecheng, the necromancer Jia Zhang...

With so many talents, how much fun must there be?

Xiang Yunduan has traveled through time for more than half a year. Everything else is fine, but one thing is boring. It's really boring. The entertainment methods in this era are too scarce. Not to mention foot baths in bars, there are no mobile phones or the Internet. Every day it gets dark. He went to sleep on the kang. The key was that he didn't even have a wife, so it was too difficult.

This means that once you have experienced a lot of hardships, it will be difficult for you to give up after you have enjoyed it. Otherwise, it is difficult to switch from extravagance to frugality!

How nice it is to live in a courtyard house now. You can take a small break every three days or a big break every five days. Just take a look and you will be delighted.

Isn't this more interesting than watching TV series? It's also considered an entertainment project, right?

"Ms. Jia Zhang, who told your family to put things in the west hallway? Move all your things away quickly!"

Middle Court.

Officer Liu went straight to the west wing and said to a short and fat woman at the door.

"The house is empty, what's wrong with me putting some things there? Besides, that house should have been allocated to our family, why should I move out?"

The woman obviously knew Director Liu, but she didn't have a good face and retorted directly.

"What do you mean it should have been allocated to your family? That house is now allocated to Comrade Xiang Yunduan. He is a formal employee of the slaughterhouse. He will move in today. Please move my things quickly!" Officer Liu said with an ugly expression. .

When the woman saw what Officer Liu said, she looked directly at Xiang Yunduan who was following behind, and cursed: "You are the one who robbed our house? The one who suffered a thousand cuts is still working in the slaughterhouse? Be careful if you kill too many evildoers." God will strike you with lightning!"

"Who are you? I don't bully the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. If I ask your men to come out and talk to me, are all the men in your family dead?"

Xiang Yunduan squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
