Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

He already asked, and the bicycles are currently in stock.

However, the price is expensive, costing 158 yuan.

Li Chaoyang calculated the money he had brought and saw that he still had enough left over after buying the bicycle for food, so he simply took out the bicycle voucher given to him by the system and bought a 28-inch bicycle...

Then, after tying everything to the bicycle, Li Chaoyang hopped on and wobbled towards Xizhimen...

He looked exactly like a peddler going from street to street...

Fortunately, his riding skills were excellent, and he managed to ride steadily to the entrance of the courtyard house.

However, Li Chaoyang's entrance was like dropping a bombshell in the yard...

At this time, most of the men had gone to work, and the women who stayed at home watched as the new residents pushed a shiny bicycle into the house, carrying a large pile of obviously brand-new pots, pans, bedding, and blankets.

Immediately, they all started whispering and chattering among themselves...

"Isn't this the young man who just moved into the backyard? What's going on with him?"

"Why did you buy so much stuff as soon as you arrived?"

"Hey, look, they're all brand new, even that bicycle is new..."

"Exactly! Look, the signs on those spokes haven't even been torn off yet..."

"That's not right. Didn't he just get assigned to the steel rolling mill yesterday? Where did he get so much money?"

At this moment, an older woman immediately noticed that these items required a lot of coupons and said in a low voice with a suspicious look on her face.

"Money is secondary, the real question is where did he get so many tickets?..."

"You really can't buy all this stuff without dozens of tickets..."

"Yes, especially bicycle tickets. My husband's company only gives out two bicycle tickets a year."

"We've been waiting for three years and it's still not our turn... but this young man just started working and he got it?"

In fact, Li Chaoyang had already thought before entering the room that bringing back so many things might attract attention.

After all, his shopping spree had already shocked the department store staff once before.

But he never expected that the women in the courtyard would so openly gossip about him...

And they're not afraid of being overheard at all...

The sourness in his words practically filled the backyard...

Although he heard it, he ignored it and pushed the cart straight to his house.

Since we've just moved in and don't know each other well, we might as well just ignore them.

After returning to the room and putting everything away, I quickly opened the system to take a look.

But Little Green didn't return. However, recalling that it hadn't returned until the next day after its last trip, Li Chaoyang put the system away again...

It was only then that he suddenly realized... he could have simply stored the items in the system and brought them back, right?

He slapped his forehead and tried to store the newly bought kettle into his virtual space.

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the kettle vanished from sight.

Then I opened the system screen again.

Sure enough, the water bottle appeared on the grass by the pond.

Li Chaoyang immediately thought how much better it would have been if he had remembered sooner...

Thinking back on what happened when I entered the courtyard just now, it still feels like I was showing off my wealth...

The women in the courtyard started pointing and gossiping about me...

When I have time, I'll have to explore the system's functions thoroughly; who knows, there might be other clever uses for it.

After resting for a while, Li Chaoyang looked at the time and realized it was getting late, so he prepared to go back to the factory.

Just as I was about to get up, I heard a noise outside the door.

I got up and went over to take a look, and it turned out to be Uncle Yan Bugui, the third uncle, who had come over again....

Seeing that he was carefully examining the old bicycle he had parked outside the door, Li Chaoyang thought for a moment and then opened the door.

Yan Bugui was somewhat surprised to see the door open: "Oh! Chaoyang, are you going out?"

“Third Uncle, I was just about to come looking for you…” Li Chaoyang said casually.

"Looking for me?" Yan Bugui looked puzzled. "Why are you looking for me?"

"You lent me a set of bedding last night, and I've bought all the bedding I need today."

"Of course we have to return yours."

The third uncle immediately smiled broadly and said, "Oh... that's it! I almost forgot about it..."

"I thought you wanted to see me for something..."

Li Chaoyang somewhat strangely invited Yan Bugui inside...

But in his heart he thought, with the Third Uncle's personality, how could he forget what he lent out?

However, Li Chaoyang refrained from saying those words out of consideration for the man's enthusiastic demeanor...

After all, no matter what, they did help me yesterday...

For this, Li Chaoyang was still grateful...

Therefore, he specifically bought half a pound of candy when he was shopping earlier...

I was thinking of giving the bedding to Uncle San's family as a thank-you gift when I returned it.

He had already thought of this last night when he took the bedding back from his third uncle's house.

As the third uncle entered, he carefully examined all the new things he had just bought...

Li Chaoyang smiled and took out the bag of candy that he had prepared beforehand.

"Uncle, if it weren't for you last night, I would have slept on a bare floor..."

"I went to buy some things for the house today, and I also brought you some candy."

"Consider this a thank you." With that, he placed the candy directly into the stunned Yan Bugui's hand!

These days... half a pound of candy is no small matter...

The fruit candy Li Chaoyang bought cost 2.4 yuan per pound...

"Chaoyang...this is too precious, it weighs at least half a pound..."

"I just lent you my son's bedding for one night as a temporary measure... and you..."

Yan Bugui stammered and could no longer speak.

He had never met anyone as generous as Li Chaoyang.

He had only done so because he saw the steel mill arrange for Li Chaoyang to stay in the room that the previous leader had stayed in, and he felt that this young man must be someone important.

But who knows how he himself could possibly get something out of Li Chaoyang?

They've already beaten us to it, delivering a huge gift right back...

This surprised the old man greatly... and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Chapter Sixteen completely baffled the Third Uncle.

Seeing Yan Bugui stunned, Li Chaoyang thought that things should calm down now.

His act of repaying favors doubly is actually a tactic.

I learned this in my previous life when I worked in Shanghai.

This subtly draws a clear line, immediately creating a sense of distance...

Even after Uncle Yan Bugui emerged from Li Chaoyang's room, he was still completely dazed...

He walked through the archway carrying candy in his left hand and a blanket tucked under his right arm, then looked back with great confusion.

But they saw Li Chaoyang still standing inside the door.

Seeing Yan Bugui turn around, Li Chaoyang smiled and waved at him again...

Yan Bugui quickly forced a smile in response, then turned and hurriedly left.

He has a feeling that something is off about what happened today.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't figure out what was wrong...

Why would Li Chaoyang give him half a pound of candy?

Is it just because of what Li Chaoyang said?

Is it really just because I helped him last night and lent him this tattered quilt?

That shouldn't be possible, right?

This Li Chaoyang... doesn't seem like a fool...

But if he wasn't stupid, why would he give half a pound of candy as a thank you just because he lent him a quilt?

And look at his room full of brand-new pots and pans, and the fine bedding on his bed.
