Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

At this time, three uncles also came over holding large tea mugs. The third uncle spoke first:

"Dongfang, you're famous now. The whole alley knows about your radio. Just now someone from the next door yard came to ask about it. Do you think we should charge an entrance fee or something? Two cents per person per visit, what do you think?"

"Um, uncle, let's forget about the tickets. They belong to our neighbors." Li Dongfang finally learned his lesson. Yan Bugui is really good at calculating.

"Old Yan, you are not as conscious as Dongfang. It is really inappropriate to charge neighbors for listening to the radio." Yi Zhonghai said in a condescending manner.

When Liu Haizhong saw this, he was immediately annoyed. Yi Zhonghai was really good at pretending. He said this like a leader. Why didn’t I think of this?

Although he was upset, Liu Haizhong took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and said to Li Dongfang:

"Dongfang, your uncle brought you some melon seeds, how about..."

Li Dongfang took a look at Liu Haizhong's handful of melon seeds and was speechless. It was just a handful. You could finish them in two minutes. How dare you take them out? Are you hinting that you want to take advantage of me, Qia Qia?

"What are you talking about, gentlemen? Since you are here, how can I ask you to bring anything? Come in quickly. I have prepared everything."

Sitting around a small square table with the three old men, Qin Huairu brought some Qia Qia melon seeds and moved a small stool to sit next to Li Dongfang, listening to the radio together.

The radio programs in the evening are much richer. In addition to news, there are also storytelling and crosstalk. The whole yard is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

It was 9 o'clock in the evening. Everyone in the courtyard slept late, which was unusual. Li Dongfang sent the three uncles out. After the first and second uncles walked home, the third uncle pulled Li Dongfang and whispered:

"Dongfang, did you buy this new bicycle too?"

It was because of the radio that attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard. Otherwise, a brand new bicycle in those days would have caused a sensation. But after all, everyone has seen a bicycle, but not many people have heard of a radio.

"Yes, Uncle San, my legs are tired from working every day. Director Yang happened to give me a ticket, so I bought it."

"Dongfang, I've talked to Teacher Ran from our school. Can you guys meet first when you are free?" The envy in Yan Bugui's eyes was almost bursting out. His bicycle was a second-hand one. It was very old when he bought it. It took him several days to fix it up.

"Uncle, I'm fine with that. I'll be working the day shift for the next seven days. It depends on what the woman thinks." Li Dongfang thought for a moment and answered cheerfully.

"That's fine, Dongfang. I'll ask and get back to you later. I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, Third Master, take care."

When I returned to the house, I saw Qin Huairu holding a basin and placing it heavily on the ground, saying, "Wash your feet. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he walked out. Li Dongfang looked at Qin Huairu's back thoughtfully.

Are you angry and jealous because you heard that the Third Uncle is going to introduce me to someone? Qin Huairu is easy to deal with, but if Ran Qiuye or even Wang Hui really did that to someone, it would be a troublesome matter...

In the blink of an eye, another week passed. The weather was bad and gloomy this week. Everyone was looking forward to snowing, but it never snowed. The heavy moisture in the air made the damp and cold feeling almost freeze one's bones. The meeting that the third uncle had mentioned was also delayed. After all, it was so cold that no one would go out unless they could.

Even the novelty of the radio could not resist the weather, and the radio listening in the whole hospital became once every two days, and it would end at 8 o'clock at the latest.

Qin Huairu had been going crazy this week and was insatiable in her demands, making Li Dongfang feel a little drained. She came over at midnight every day, at least two or three times, and at most four or five times. As for the blind date, Qin Huairu didn't mention it, so Li Dongfang was happy to play dumb.

After another fierce battle, Li Dongfang hugged Qin Huairu and lay on the kang. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Sister-in-law, you want me to work hard until I die."

Qin Huairu couldn't even open her eyes. She squinted and lay in Li Dongfang's arms. After a while, she had the strength to speak, "Why? Are you not satisfied? Then I won't come starting tomorrow."

"That's not possible. You've seen my behavior. I'm just worried that your body can't handle it." As he said this, he squeezed the hot red date steamed bun in his hand.

Qin Huairu grumbled, rolled her eyes at him, and said bitterly, "You heartless bastard, are you going on a blind date with the girl introduced by the Third Master tomorrow?!"
