From the Siheyuan, I started to run around in the world

“The disorder in the underlying space-time calculations of later generations has spread to the upper reaches of the space-time river, and the entire space-time river is in danger of collapse.

So we travel through time and space, inspecting the long river of modern history and time and space, reinforcing it and preventing it from completely collapsing."

"Wait." Zhang Dongliang understood the meaning of Xiaodie's words.

"To inspect the long river of modern history? Do you mean to visit other historical time periods as well?"

"You're right."

"But we are in the world of the TV series 'The Love in the Courtyard'."

"That doesn't matter. Any period drama corresponds to a specific historical time and space. Living in a period drama is equivalent to living in the corresponding historical time and space."

"Then how long of history and space do we want to tour?"

"If it's shorter, it might be around the 1920s or 1930s. If it's longer, it might be around the end of the Ming Dynasty."

"Why is this? Why is there such a big difference?"

"It depends on the people of later generations. It depends on what they do. Don't you have a saying in later generations: no zuo no die?"

"But, you talk so grandly, I don't know what to do."

"You don't need to do anything, just live a normal life here. After I use the Dao to harmonize you, you will also have the aura of the Dao. As long as you stay here and do nothing, you are reinforcing the long river of time and space."

Zhang Dongliang was relieved. This mission was simple, traveling through time and space was like traveling.

"I want to remind you that this is not a game. If you die, there will be no chance of rebirth. You and I are bound together, and I don't want your life to be in danger."

Zhang Dongliang was shocked.

Despite the existence of a small world, I am still essentially a mortal. The saying "no zuo no die" also applies to me.

I don't know how long I will live in this world, but Xiaodie said it shouldn't be too short. So I should just be honest, low-key and live a peaceful life.

The best way for a drop of water to hide itself is to merge into the sea.

Zhang Dongliang, who had figured it out, felt that he needed to integrate into this era as soon as possible.

Relying on one's political identity, integrating into the times is the best protection for oneself, and one can also thrive in this era.

Once you get your high school diploma, you're officially graduated. It's time to treat the three uncles to a meal.

Early in the morning, before they went to work, Zhang Dongliang went to tell the uncle Yi Zhonghai.

Then he went to the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house and told him. Liu Haizhong was very satisfied with him being a cadre and said he would come in the evening.

Then tell Shazhu and ask him to cook in the evening.

Sha Zhu said it was no problem as long as the factory didn't have a reception. As for He Yushui, she had been on vacation for a long time and had nothing to do at home, so she could just go there early in the afternoon.

When I returned to the front yard, I found that Yan Bugui had already left because he had classes in the morning. I told Auntie San and asked her to pass on the message.

After returning home, Zhang Dongliang thought carefully about what he should prepare today. He must not exceed the standards of this era, and he must be on guard against Yi Zhonghai seeing something.

Zhang Dongliang went out with a cloth bag in his hand. He couldn't let anyone know that these dishes were made out of thin air, right? He had to pretend anyway.

Zhang Dongliang in later generations didn't like going to the vegetable market, and he disliked it even more in this era. But there is no other way, sometimes you have to pretend, which is really tiring!

Zhang Dongliang first took out a grass carp weighing more than three pounds, and then took out three pounds of pork ribs and three ounces of lean pork.

Nowadays, no one likes spare ribs, and there is not much demand for pure lean meat. Generally, the fatter the better.

You don't have to queue up early in the morning and you can still buy meat. Fatty meat is out of the question, but ribs and lean meat are easy to explain.

As for vegetables, they took out a yam, a lotus root, and a few specially selected small potatoes. These were rare vegetables that could be seen in the old city at that time, especially in winter.

There are plenty of cabbages in the cellar, and the eggs have been put in the cupboard for a long time. Everything is ready.

Zhang Dongliang had been hanging around outside for more than two hours and was so cold that he had a runny nose.

Before returning to the alley entrance, I put everything in the bag and held the fish in my hand. By the time I reached the entrance of the courtyard, the fish had frozen solid.

Since it was working hours and the weather was cold, there were not many people at the door.

When I entered the house, the third aunt saw me and asked me a question. She knew about the dinner party in the evening, so she didn't say much. It was just so ordinary and dull, what a pity.

Before Sha Zhu arrived, Zhang Dongliang suddenly remembered the vulgar scene between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu about the plate of peanuts, and with inexplicable fantasies, he put another half pound of peanuts on the cupboard.

"Hey, I am such a kind person." Zhang Dongliang said confidently.

After Sha Zhu arrived, he immediately started cooking, and Yu Shui helped him.

Zhang Dongliang specifically told Yushui to steam buns made of 20 grams of flour tonight. After giving the instructions, Zhang Dongliang went out.

The people at the Red Star Steel Mill had already gone home from get off work. Zhang Dongliang went to the homes of several old men to formally invite them, as a courtesy.

After returning home, Zhang Dongliang suddenly remembered that he had no tea, so he walked into the inner room and pretended to take out two taels of scented tea.

It is the kind that is very common and cheap in later generations, and ordinary people think it is not high-end, but now it is considered high-end. Because many people are drinking Gaosui, which is tea leaves.

Just as I brewed the tea, Yan Bugui arrived. It seemed that eating was still very tempting to him.

"Hey, Uncle, you are here. Please sit down. Please sit down quickly."

Just as he poured tea for Yan Bugui, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound and Yi Zhonghai walked in.

Damn, Yi Zhonghai, like Sha Zhu, has no habit of knocking on the door. The only difference is that Yi Zhonghai will occasionally shout at the door: "Is anyone home?"

As the second uncle Liu Haizhong arrived last with his chest puffed out and his belly bulging, in a leadership manner, the three giants of the hospital were all present.

Pork ribs stewed with cabbage, scrambled eggs with green onions, fried lotus root slices with meat, fried yam with meat, fried peanuts, spicy and sour shredded potatoes. Add to that the last one, pickled fish, and it's six dishes and one soup, with the fish being the soup.

Yan Bugui's hand holding the teacup was already a little unsteady.

Although Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also had bright eyes, their performance was much better than Yan Bugui's. After all, Yan Bugui's living conditions were the worst.

To be fair, these dishes are very delicious in this era. Yan Bugui couldn’t eat such good food even if he celebrated the New Year twice.

As Sha Zhu prepared the dishes, Zhang Dongliang took two bottles of Xifeng wine and placed them on the table. Two bottles of wine was enough for five people.

What did you say? Isn't He Yushui a human being? Haha, He Yushui cannot be served at the table.

As a kitchen helper, He Yushui was lucky to eat in the kitchen. Otherwise, she would have to go hungry at home tonight because her silly brother often forgot about her.

Before they toasted together, Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle, expressed his condolences to Zhang Dongliang on behalf of the three giants of the courtyard. Zhang Dongliang also expressed his gratitude to the three uncles for their care and help.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai took the lead in raising his glass, wishing the motherland prosperity and wishing the great man good health!

The second uncle Liu Haizhong warned Zhang Dongliang in a very official manner that he should study hard like the worker elder brothers, join the workforce as soon as possible and make contributions to the motherland.

Only the third uncle, Yan Bugui, felt it was a pity not to go to university. Zhang Dongliang toasted everyone one by one to express his gratitude.

They drank and chatted, and soon, they finished two bottles of Xifeng wine. He Yushui served the freshly steamed buns, and the three giants ended the drinking party happily.

He Yushui wanted to stay and clean up, but Zhang Dongliang told her to go back to bed quickly.

Zhang Dongliang told Yan Bugui that he wanted to ask the three aunts to come over and help wash the dishes and take the leftovers back.

Yan Bugui agreed immediately, his glasses sparkling with joy.

Yan Bugui hurried back to call the third aunt.

The three aunts came over quickly and took away all the dishes and leftovers, saying that they would be washed and brought back tomorrow morning.

Zhang Dongliang breathed a sigh of relief, finally dealing with this trouble.
