Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

Fortunately, although the chef had already left work, there were still some cold dishes, steamed buns, and cooked food available.

If it were at the school cafeteria, he would definitely try to bargain and ask if they could waive the food coupons since there was only a little left.

But since he was new to the place and unfamiliar with everyone, he didn't become disliked.

He readily paid a few cents plus a pound of grain coupons and packed everything up to take back. The waiter was quite considerate and didn't ask Li Chaoyang for the half-pound of cooked meat coupons...

Actually, you could say you got a good deal...

If it weren't for the sign on the restaurant wall prohibiting the beating of customers without cause.

Li Chaoyang will definitely give the waiter a thumbs up before he leaves...

With the oil paper package rummaged through his net bag, Li Chaoyang hurried back.

He had just entered the courtyard and was walking in with his head down when he heard Yan Bugui call his name from behind.

"Chaoyang, wait a minute..."

Turning around, I saw Yan Bugui holding a mattress and a thin blanket in his arms...

"Uncle, what's wrong with you...?" Li Chaoyang asked Yan Bugui with some confusion.

Yan Bugui walked over carrying bedding and said, "Chaoyang, I noticed you only brought a suitcase and no other luggage, so I had your aunt prepare a set of bedding for you. Make do with this tonight..."

Li Chaoyang looked at the Third Uncle with genuine puzzlement.

I clearly remember that in the original story, Teacher Yan was always very calculating and scheming.

Why does it seem like I'm being subtly or overtly friendly with myself all day?

First, he hinted that he might have a grudge against his second uncle because of the house.

Now they're sending themselves bedding again...

The old man didn't even know his own identity. Besides, even if he knew I was the head of the propaganda department at the steel rolling mill, he wasn't an employee of the mill, so there was no need for him to be so eager to please me...

Is it simply because we are all cultured people that we appreciate each other?

After much thought, Li Chaoyang still felt that this was unlikely...

Forget it, it's better to stick to what I already planned and draw a clear line.

The people in the courtyard... After thinking for a moment, he simply smiled and declined, saying, "Third Uncle, thank you."

"But we don't need the bedding."

"I've been used to sleeping on bare surfaces since I was a child..."

"Besides, it's just one night, it's no big deal."

But Yan Bugui seemed to have made up his mind. Upon hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Sleeping on a hard bed is no way I can do that!"

"Alright, Chaoyang, you're a grown man, why are you being so polite with your third uncle?"

"Besides, since we'll all be living in the same courtyard, we'll be one family..."

"It's no big deal to lend you a set of blankets for one night."

"When you buy the bedding tomorrow, Chaoyang, you can just return it to me, right?"

Li Chaoyang stared at the Third Uncle, stunned.

He wondered if he had been prejudiced.

The people in this courtyard aren't like the scheming characters in the drama, but rather full of genuine affection?

Chapter Six: Me, the Head of the Propaganda Department, a Lone Commander?

When Yan Bugui saw Li Chaoyang standing there in a daze, he assumed that Li Chaoyang was embarrassed, so he simply put the bedding on the table next to him.

"Chaoyang, take it back yourself..."

Without waiting for Li Chaoyang's refusal, he turned around and went back to his room.

Li Chaoyang looked at the bedding, then at Yan Bugui's house... he was a little confused.

Hopefully, I'm just prejudiced. If everyone in this courtyard is like this, then it doesn't seem so bad.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Li Chaoyang tucked the bedding on the table under one arm and walked back.

I thought to myself, maybe the people in this courtyard are different from those in the drama...

After all, you have no right to speak without investigation...

Let's take it one step at a time for now.

Before figuring it out, it's best to keep a certain distance from it.

When I return the bedding tomorrow, I'll bring something for Uncle San... as a way of repaying a favor.

Back in his room, Li Chaoyang put his things down and checked the time.

We discovered that the baby had already been on his trip for over three hours.

I opened the system and took a look, but the little frog house by the pond was completely empty...

Li Chaoyang felt a little empty inside...

"I wonder how long it will take for Xiao Lü to go on a trip."

"This system doesn't even have a warning."

"It's gotten to the point where I have no idea when it will be back."

"I was actually wondering if Little Green would eat meat..."

Putting away the virtual screen, Li Chaoyang opened the cold dishes and cooked food he had brought back...

But when he finished eating and was about to go to sleep, the image of his third uncle Yan Bugui's enthusiastic manner from earlier kept replaying in his mind.

He felt that there was something strange about this third uncle, Yan Bugui...

This feeling intensified, especially when he thought of his second uncle who had come to him to set rules for him.

The second uncle's bangs look exactly the same as in the show...

When he mentioned Uncle Yi Zhonghai, he referred to him as a worker in the factory, but he never mentioned that he himself was also a worker...

Instead, he only told himself that he was from the same unit...

Logically speaking, he has worked in the factory for decades.

It should be understood that college students and factory workers are two different systems in the factory.

After being assigned to a factory, college graduates usually either go to the production technology department or sit in the factory office.

Liu Haizhong clearly knew this, which is why he didn't mention at all that he was also a worker...

That official's mysterious demeanor hasn't changed at all...

But if the second uncle is just like the one in the drama, then why is the third uncle so enthusiastic?

Could it be that they want to gain some benefit from me?

But what could a newcomer like himself possibly have to scheme against?

Even if he was a section chief in the factory, it wouldn't bring any benefits to the Third Uncle.

We're not even from the same company...

Moreover, judging from the way the third uncle acted, he didn't seem to know that he was a musician who wrote revolutionary songs.

As he pondered, Li Chaoyang recalled the conversation between Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu that afternoon.

Judging from what he said back then, Jia Dongxu should still be alive...

Is it because Jia Dongxu is here that the people in this courtyard haven't evolved into their complete form yet?

Li Chaoyang thought and thought but still couldn't come up with an answer...

In his memory, he clearly remembered that everyone in this courtyard was a real pain in the neck.

An old man is constantly trying different ways to find someone to take care of him in his old age...

My second uncle's family... they can make a huge fuss over just one egg.

Needless to say, the third uncle's family was even worse...

He schemed and plotted all day long, but in the end, his schemes alienated his entire family.

And then there's Widow Qin, who, along with her entire family, preys on anyone who's easy to bully and exploits them...

Especially after they caught Sha Zhu, they were like leeches.

Let's not talk about Xu Damao and his son.

Li Chaoyang felt disgusted just thinking about it... He used to fast-forward through those two when he watched dramas in his previous life.

Thinking back to the scenes in the story.

He had just gotten off the train today after a three-day, two-night journey and was so tired that he fell asleep quickly...
