Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!

When Li Xiuyuan stepped into the courtyard again, the courtyard had changed a lot.

There are illegal buildings in front of every house, making the whole yard look crowded and small.

Li Xiuyuan recognized at a glance the thin old man squatting on the ground tidying up flowers and plants at the front yard door. It was Yan Fugui, whose hair had turned gray.

When I saw him, I couldn't help but think of Yan Jiefang.

Yan Fugui might not have imagined that his second son is now the head of the Hong Kong Food Company, a successful man who owns a car and a house in Hong Kong, as well as a beautiful wife and concubines.

Yes, Yan Jiefang has also become a bad person. That guy who only cares about money has also become a bad person. It is hard to imagine how generous he is in spending money on his two wives.

"Teacher Yan?" Li Xiuyuan shouted.

Yan Fugui slowly turned his head and looked suspiciously at the young man in a suit in front of him. His face looked familiar, but he didn't recognize it at first.

"Who are you? Li Xiuyuan!" Yan Fugui shouted in surprise.

"It's me." Li Xiuyuan replied with a smile.

"Teacher Yan, are you feeling well?"

"Ah? Okay, okay! Why...where have you been all these years...Hey, you haven't come back in so many years, everyone thought something happened to you too!"

Yan Fugui is indeed old. When he spoke, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were very deep, and his thinness made him look even older.

Yan Jiefang's wife, Aunt Yan, also came out of the house when she heard the noise. Seeing a young man with such outstanding dress and appearance standing in their yard, she was also very curious.

"Old Yan, you..." Who are you talking to?

"Old lady, come and see, Li Xiuyuan is back!"

Aunt Yan was a bit confused when she heard the name Li Xiuyuan. After all, Li Xiuyuan had only lived in the courtyard for a few years, and there had been so many residents coming and going that Aunt Yan could hardly remember them all.

"Li Xiuyuan? Ah? Yes! Is it the Li Xiuyuan in the backyard? The one who disappeared with our Jiefang..."

"Yes, that's him."

Unexpectedly, after Aunt Yan confirmed that it was Li Xiuyuan, she suddenly ran over and grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand, and asked anxiously: "Li Xiuyuan, have you seen my family liberated? He disappeared after going out just like you, did you see him?"

Yan Fugui on the side was also looking at Li Xiuyuan expectantly, especially wanting to hear the news about Yan Jiefang from Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan let Aunt Yan hold his hand and did not struggle. After thinking about it, he felt that he should tell them the whereabouts of Yan Jiefang.

Raising a child is not easy. A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Even if they raised their son with calculations, it was the son they raised with their hard work.

After becoming a father, Li Xiuyuan realized this deeply. Besides, Yan Jiefang was about to return to the mainland, and they would have to meet sooner or later, so it didn't hurt to tell him in advance.

Now that mainland policies have been relaxed, the government strongly supports overseas Chinese to return to China to invest and set up factories. Even if other people know about it, it will not pose any threat to the Yan family.

"I know about him."

Li Xiuyuan's words made Yan Fugui and his wife open their eyes wide, and then burst into tears of joy.

"Teacher Yan, Aunt Yan, let's go inside and talk." Li Xiuyuan looked at the people who had gathered in the yard. Some of them knew Li Xiuyuan and greeted him.

Li Xiuyuan also nodded in response.

Yan Fugui also felt that there were too many people and it was inconvenient to talk, so he asked Li Xiuyuan to go inside.

Li Xiuyuan then told Yan Jiefang about his situation in Hong Kong. "Mr. Yan, Aunt Yan, you will be able to see him soon. Just wait a little longer."

Aunt Yan suddenly received news from her son, and the worries in her heart for many years suddenly burst out, and she immediately covered her face and cried.

Yan Fugui also burst into tears. It was good enough that his son was still alive.

After talking about Yan Jiefang, Li Xiuyuan refused the meal invited by Yan Fugui and his wife and left Yan's house.

At this time, many people had gathered in the front yard. Some old residents who knew Li Xiuyuan were standing there waiting for Li Xiuyuan to come out.

"It's really Li boy!" shouted an old resident who knew Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan hurried forward, took out cigarettes and started to distribute them. He didn't hold anything in his hands before coming to the yard because there was no one here he wanted to visit.

He had no choice but to take out two boxes of cigarettes from the space and distribute them to everyone.

He also found Liu Haizhong and his wife in the crowd. Liu Haizhong is now retired, but his son is unfilial, so the couple looked unhappy and slovenly.

Today is not a rest day, so the younger people in the courtyard are not at home. Only the older people and women are at home.

When he arrived at the central courtyard, he saw an old lady with disheveled hair and dirty face standing in the corner of the wall. Her gray hair fell messily on her shoulders, covering her old face, so that Li Xiuyuan could not recognize her.

By the pool, there was a young and beautiful girl washing clothes. She looked up at Li Xiuyuan shyly, then quickly lowered her head.

Li Xiuyuan looked around the central courtyard. Because of the haphazard construction of houses in the courtyard, it no longer looked like what he remembered, and the aisle seemed small and narrow.

As for that girl, Li Xiuyuan only took a glance and knew who she was. Not only because of her appearance, but also because she loved washing clothes.

By the way, who lives in his house?

When Li Xiuyuan arrived at the backyard, he saw that the room he lived in and the west wing he bought were both locked, and it seemed that someone was living inside.

At this time, Aunt Liu, Liu Haizhong's wife, came back from the front yard. Li Xiuyuan pointed to the west wing and asked, "Aunt Liu, who lives in my house?"

You can take the house allocated by the factory, but the house he bought with his own money is not under the jurisdiction of the factory or the street, and the house deed is still in his hands.

"It's Bang Geng from the Jia family in the Central Courtyard. He has been living there ever since he came back. My old Liu tried to stop him at first, but it didn't work. He was almost beaten up by Bang Geng."

Aunt Liu said this with good intentions towards Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, then walked towards the front yard. When passing the middle yard, he saw the girl standing at the door of the Jia family again, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

He came to Yan Fugui's house and wanted to ask about his house.

But before Yan Fugui could say anything, Aunt Yan told Li Xiuyuan about what had happened in the courtyard during his absence for more than a decade...

This story begins shortly after Li Xiuyuan left. It was just after the Chinese New Year, and a war broke out in the Jia family.

The cause of the war was that Jia Zhang stole Qin Huairu's money when she went to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, bought a pound of meat at a high price, and then cooked and ate it secretly while no one was at home.

Qin Huairu knew how to count her money and soon discovered that some was missing. She immediately targeted Jia Zhang and began to ask her if she had taken the money.

How could Jia Zhang admit it? She started to argue that Qin Jingru took it, and later she pushed the blame onto Xiaodang and Huaihua. She kept making all kinds of excuses.

Qin Huairu lived a very careful life, and she knew exactly when the money was lost. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, she took Qin Jingru and her two daughters back to her parents' home, and when they came back, there was less money. Who else could it be except Jia Zhang?

Therefore, Qin Huairu did not listen to Jia Zhang's excuses at all, and immediately asked Jia Zhang to go back to the countryside and would not allow her to live in the house anymore.

Of course Jia Zhang didn't want to leave, so she started making all kinds of noise and fuss and refused to leave.

The incident caused quite a big stir at the time, and everyone in the street knew about it. Director Wang came to the hospital in person to mediate, and in the end Qin Huairu gave in and let Jia Zhang stay.

Although Jia Zhang stayed, Qin Huairu was very angry. When she thought of her son who was still suffering in prison, she wanted to bite Jia Zhang to death.

As a result, Jia Zhang's life became more and more difficult. Qin Huairu found a temporary worker for Qin Jingru, and all the housework fell on Jia Zhang.

In fact, it was just the housework that Aunt Yan could do every day at home, so why couldn't Jia Zhang do it? As long as Jia Zhang behaved well and worked honestly, Qin Huairu would not starve her to death.

But Jia Zhang did something terrible. She actually secretly sold the locust flowers to human traffickers.
