Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

When Lou Xiao'e came in, she saw that everyone in the courtyard had a kind smile on their face, and they all looked like very kind old people.

Moreover, everyone is busy with the wedding arrangements for the two of them. However, after Li Chaoyang returned to the house, he said these words to Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e felt that Li Chaoyang had gone too far, so she reprimanded him for the first time.

"How can you say that? They're all getting on in years, they might be a bit talkative and nagging, but please be more understanding."

"I think I married you because you're a good person, so please don't let me down!"

"You can't treat older people like that, you know? They're quite pitiful."

"We can't look down on anyone or bully anyone just because we're in a better position, right?"

Lou Xiao'e has a very sound set of values. When Li Chaoyang heard what Lou Xiao'e said, he not only did not blame her, but also agreed with her statement.

However, since Lou Xiao'e was unaware of the situation and was afraid that she would be bullied in the courtyard, Li Chaoyang decided to tell her the truth.

“This courtyard house is definitely not as simple as it looks; that’s the first thing I’m telling you.”

“If they were really the kind old people you say they are, how could I say that? I am by no means a bully. But they are not like what you say they are. Not only are they not kind, they are also very wicked. You'd better be careful.”

"When I came to the courtyard house, I also wanted to get along well with my neighbors. I thought I was young and wanted to do whatever I could to help them."

"But I not only worked as a laborer for a year, but I also served as their canteen for a year. I helped them with their work and provided them with food. Instead of remembering my kindness, they said I deserved it. Do you think they are like that?"

Since they were now a couple, there was no need for any secrets. Li Chaoyang made his point very clear, and Lou Xiao'e was shocked and even a little incredulous after hearing his words.

"My God, how could they be like that? How could there be such people? That's just too much!"

"No wonder you said those things to me today. I understand now, and I know how to get along with them from now on!"

Lou Xiao'e hadn't expected the situation to be so complicated. Although she said that, she was actually a little nervous inside. Of course, Li Chaoyang couldn't leave all the problems to Lou Xiao'e.

Li Chaoyang sat down next to Lou Xiao'e, making her tense up. She seemed unaccustomed to being so close to a man, and instinctively took two steps back. This action made Li Chaoyang love her to the core.

"Don't be afraid, from now on we're husband and wife, I'm your husband!"

"So no matter what happens, remember that I'm here for you, so you don't have to be afraid of anything."

"If you can't solve the problems in the courtyard, just leave them to me. With me here, none of them will dare to bully you!"

Li Chaoyang did indeed give Lou Xiao'e an unprecedented sense of security, which made Lou Xiao'e no longer afraid, and she stopped backing away. Li Chaoyang could feel the trust that Lou Xiao'e had in him.

The gongs and drums had already started playing outside. Unexpectedly, Song Chengxiang heard that Li Chaoyang was getting married today, so he specially came from the record factory to celebrate. Moreover, this time the gift was quite valuable; he actually gave Li Chaoyang a record player.

"Chaoyang, you said today is your big day, how could you not tell me? If I hadn't seen it in the newspaper, I wouldn't have known you were getting married today."

"How could you, a great musician, not tell me about your wedding? Have you forgotten about me? Or are you afraid I'll come looking for you?"

"Look what I brought you, I guarantee you'll like it."

Li Chaoyang and Lou Xiao'e were just about to get intimate while no one was around when they heard a familiar voice outside. Lou Xiao'e blushed and turned her head away shyly.

Li Chaoyang quickly pulled Lou Xiao'e outside. Although Lou Xiao'e hadn't quite reacted yet, she didn't refuse. Given Lou Xiao'e's family background and her exposure to the world, she naturally wasn't nervous.

After Li Chaoyang went out, he indeed saw that the person who came was Song Chengxiang. Li Chaoyang was very happy to see Song Chengxiang.

"I knew it must be Teacher Song who came."

"Teacher Song, please come in. I'm so happy to see you. I was just afraid of disturbing your work, so I didn't send anyone to inform you."

What did you bring me? It can't be too expensive, or I can't afford it!

Even Song Chengxiang from the record company came to celebrate with Li Chaoyang, which made everyone in the courtyard very envious, because Song Chengqiang had come several times.

So everyone knew Song Chengxiang. As Li Chaoyang and his wife ushered Song Chengxiang into the house, the people in the courtyard worked while remarking with admiration.

"See that? That's what connections are all about. He has that position, so naturally, connections come his way. Even Song Chengxiang from the record company came to give him a congratulatory gift."

"It's infuriating to compare people like this! I wonder what Song Chengxiang is holding that's so mysterious!"

"Oh my, this is so prestigious! I wonder if someone even more prestigious will come later!"

"I also find it strange. Since Li Chaoyang is getting married, and he wants to have such a grand and spectacular wedding, why didn't he inform us in advance? We only received the news of his marriage this morning."

"We all lived in the same courtyard and only found out this morning. I wonder if the other guests found out even later than we did."

After Song Chengxiang went inside, he took the record player to the table and soon played very beautiful and pleasant music.

The beautiful sound wafted out and could be heard throughout the courtyard, causing everyone to stop and listen to the lovely music.

"That sound is coming from Li Chaoyang's room. It's so beautiful, and it sounds really high-class!"

"As expected of Song Chengxiang from the record company, is he here to deliver music? The gift he brings is certainly unique."

"Playing this song at this time is so fitting; such beautiful music makes the celebration even more festive."

"Let's hurry up and get to work. If even bigger people come and we haven't prepared the banquet yet, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

He Daqing had been looking for an opportunity to humiliate Li Chaoyang, hoping to make Li Chaoyang acknowledge his culinary skills. Although the reason was unknown, this was He Daqing's intention.

Seeing so many people here to celebrate, including people from the record company, I heard that this person was the one who exposed Sha Zhu back then.

This made He Daqing a little angry. As a chef, the only way for He Daqing to get rich was, of course, through his cooking.

He Daqing began to have wicked thoughts.

"Isn't this someone I know? You all colluded with him, causing my son to get imprisoned. Even though I don't get along with Sha Zhu, he's still my own son, He Daqing's son."

"Since you dared to touch my son, then today I'll let you eat your fill and have your bowels undisturbed!"

Seeing He Daqing standing there without cooking and seemingly lost in thought, his second and third aunts immediately urged him to hurry up.

"Hey He Daqing, what are you thinking about? Are you missing your wife? I think you're really going crazy. Stop thinking about it and hurry up and cook."

"You have no idea what Li Chaoyang's temper is like. If you can't complete the task on time and can't cook the dishes before the guests arrive, then Li Chaoyang will absolutely not let you off the hook!"

He Daqing had just figured out what to do, but after being reminded by his second and third aunts, he came to his senses and immediately started cooking.

Li Chaoyang was very happy with the gift. He loved listening to music, and he had felt a bit bored and dull after coming here. Now that he had this gramophone, Li Chaoyang's days would be full of fun.

To Li Chaoyang's surprise, Lou Xiao'e also enjoyed listening to music and loved the gramophone even more. Lou Xiao'e's family had one before, and now Li Chaoyang's family had one too. Lou Xiao'e was overjoyed.

"Now we'll have a phonograph at home too! We can listen to music in the morning, which really lifts our spirits. Your friend is incredibly resourceful to have managed to get a phonograph!"

Lou Xiao'e said that because she didn't know Song Chengxiang's identity. Upon hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Song Chengxiang and Li Chaoyang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It seems that birds of a feather flock together. Congratulations, Li Chaoyang, you (Qianqian Zhao) have married a good wife."

"I didn't give this phonograph away for free. You can't expect me to go back empty-handed, can you?"

Although Lou Xiao'e didn't know what Song Chengxiang and Li Chaoyang were laughing about, she quickly replied after hearing what Song Chengxiang said.

"Of course we can't let you go back empty-handed! You absolutely must stay for the banquet!"

"We really love the gift you brought, thank you so much!"

Lou Xiao'e thought Song Chengxiang was referring to a banquet, and politely thanked him. However, Li Chaoyang knew exactly what Song Chengxiang meant.

Li Chaoyang patted Song Chengxiang on the shoulder while laughing.

"Don't worry, no matter if my songs are sold to the Changping Factory or the song and dance troupe in the future, countless people will definitely pass through your hands."

"You know what, I recently wrote a new revolutionary song."

"Take those songs back first. Here's what I'm thinking: keep those songs for release at the record company, and send the other two to the choir so they can practice them."

"I need to develop through multiple channels so that my revolutionary songs can become popular quickly."

"I don't plan to sell this new song to you for now; I'm going to release it myself!"

Li Chaoyang is not only good at composing revolutionary songs, but he is also very knowledgeable about these kinds of things. This is a very important reason why Li Chaoyang has a high status, and it also makes Song Chengxiang feel very admiring. It seems that nothing can be hidden from Li Chaoyang.

"You're really something, kid. I didn't expect you to be able to hide anything from me. I've figured it out now."

“You’re really a good guy, (abfi) it wasn’t for nothing that I helped you out. In that case, I’ll settle all the royalties for your five songs.”

"After I got back, I discussed it with the director of the feature film studio, and we'll definitely give you the highest price from now on."

"You're now a contracted artist with our record label, and we'll give you a monthly allowance so you won't have to worry about money in the future."

Lou Xiao'e had no idea that writing revolutionary songs could bring in income, nor did she know that she would receive a sum of money every month, which seemed to be a considerable amount. Lou Xiao'e was pleasantly surprised; this was an unexpected windfall for her.

Seeing the look of surprise on Lou Xiao'e's face, Li Chaoyang knew what Lou Xiao'e was thinking; her expression was quite adorable.

"Were you eavesdropping? From now on, you'll be in charge of the family's money, so you don't need to eavesdrop."

"Writing revolutionary songs is a very promising career path, and it can also bring in a good income."

Lou Xiao'e thought she had overheard these things by accident and that Li Chaoyang wouldn't tell her these things. Now that she heard Li Chaoyang tell her these things, Lou Xiao'e felt very gratified.

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what to say, so she could only smile. The relationship between Lou Xiao'e and Li Chaoyang made Song Chengxiang feel envious.

"You don't know yet, do you? You married a great talent. He is not only the director of the cultural center, but also an outstanding composer of revolutionary songs."

"His income from composing revolutionary songs far exceeds his income as the director of the cultural center."

This was indeed the first time Lou Xiao'e had learned about this matter.

Li Chaoyang knew that Lou Xiao'e's purpose in marrying him was very simple. He had already agreed to it before he knew any of this. In particular, these simple things made Li Chaoyang feel even happier.

After Song Chengxiang finished speaking, he actually took out a sum of money and handed it to Li Chaoyang.
