Living in a Siheyuan

In this way, the courtyard became peaceful.

At Yi Zhonghai's home, Yi Zhonghai is now paralyzed on one side. During the day, the deaf old lady and Yi Xingwang stay at home to take care of him. At night, the aunt comes home from get off work to clean up. With the addition of Yi Xingwang, their home has a bit of life.

Although the aunt is tired every day, she is very happy to see Yi Xingwang.

The deaf old lady stopped making trouble and could not hear other people talking. She looked after Yi Zhonghai and teased Yi Xingwang every day and was particularly fond of this chubby child.

Except for Jia Dongxu, everyone in the Jia family is very happy now. Qin Huairu can bring back vegetables almost every day, and occasionally she can bring back some meat and vegetables from the special cooking to improve the diet.

Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng's faces gradually gained weight.

Only Jia Dongxu is getting more and more gloomy. He talks less and less. He lies in bed every day and no one knows what he is thinking. He doesn't pay much attention to anyone. Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi are so scared that they dare not talk much in front of Jia Dongxu.

Qin Huairu's life is not going well now. In the kitchen, she was isolated by everyone because of He Yuzhu's special care. Apart from a few polite words in person, no one paid much attention to her. Except He Yuzhu.

When she got home, she had to face Jia Dongxu's suspicious eyes. She could only grit her teeth and persevere, but she really had no feelings for Jia Dongxu anymore.

He Yuzhu is now in high spirits. He goes to work and goes home with Qin Huairu every day. People who don't know would think they are a couple. But he doesn't care about other people's opinions. He is still very proud.

In the kitchen, he took extra care of Qin Huairu. He would put any good food in Qin Huairu's lunch box first. Sometimes he didn't even bring his own food.

This led to the decline in the quality of He Yushui's meals. He often made do with pickles and porridge.

She protested, but He Yuzhu didn't care. He promised to make it up to her in two days, but then forgot about it.

Li Pingan has been living a peaceful life recently. He accompanies Yu Li every day and occasionally completes tasks at the factory. He mainly practices the "Changchun Jue" technique. He is getting closer and closer to opening up the seventh meridian. He needs to work harder.

Hard work pays off, and he finally made a breakthrough just before New Year's Day, opening up his seventh meridian and reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.

The spiritual power in my body has also grown a lot. I found a place to experiment with the few spells I know. They have all improved a lot.

Previously, he could only fire a fist-sized fireball, but now he can fire a basketball-sized fireball. His cutting technique can even cut through a tree as thick as a plate. The other skills have all improved.

With excitement, Li Pingan came to the purchasing department.

When good things happen, of course you need to find someone to celebrate with.

I wanted to discuss with Yu Li about eating mutton hotpot in the afternoon, but Zhou Changming said during the meeting that the factory would hold a celebration on New Year's Day and asked everyone to prepare a program.

They have three departments in the purchasing department, and each department has to produce a program. So the three departments are competing hard.

In the past, their department was at the bottom of the list. Those who could come to the third purchasing department were all rough guys without any background, and many of them were transferred from the workshop. Their education level was not high.

When they heard that they were going to have another show, everyone was resisting. No one wanted to embarrass themselves in front of everyone in the factory.

Zhou Changming was also troubled. Not only did he lose face because his grades were always at the bottom, but no one was willing to take the class. He had to force himself to assign people.

It was the same this time, everyone looked at each other, and then lowered their heads.

Zhou Changming said angrily, "There are eight of us now, and no one can come forward to save our reputation? You guys are always so scumbags and whimpering, why are you silent today?"

Seeing everyone like this, Zhou Changming was helpless. He looked at Yu Li with hope. After all, she was the only woman, so who knows what surprises she could have.

So he said to Yu Li in a friendly manner: "Yu Li, can you give us a show? Don't you girls know how to sing and dance?"

After hearing what Zhou Changming said, Yu Li shook her head like a rattle and said, "Chief Zhou, I can't do it. I get scared when I see a lot of people. I'll be so scared when I get on stage that I won't be able to speak clearly."

After hearing this, Zhou Changming was completely disappointed. He looked at others again.

At this time, Chao Junhui whispered, "Almost all of us have tried it. Isn't Li Pingan still the one who hasn't gone? Why don't we let him try?"

After Chao Junhui finished speaking, everyone looked at him, and then looked at Li Pingan.

Zhou Changming also turned his attention to Li Pingan at this time.

After hearing what Chao Junhui said and seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Li Pingan thought about it and agreed.

Although he knew that Chao Junhui had no good intentions in recommending him, how could Li Pingan let him succeed? With the rich cultural heritage of later generations, he could just come up with a program. Then he would blind his eyes and give him a slap in the face.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Ping'an agreed.

Zhou Changming asked hurriedly: "Ping An, what show are you going to perform?"

Li Pingan hadn't thought it through yet, so he said, "Don't worry, Chief. I'll prepare well once I've promised, and try to get good grades to make everyone proud. I'll think about the specific program when I get back."

Seeing Li Ping'an's confident look, Zhou Changming felt relieved. After all, Li Ping'an was very reliable and never let him down.

After the meeting, everyone gathered around Li Pingan to discuss for a while. Some gave him advice, and some told him about the comparison of programs in previous years.

By the time everyone dispersed, it was almost noon.

Li Pingan and Yu Li went to the cafeteria to get food and ate together. Yu Li asked, "Have you thought about the program? Don't make a fool of yourself and let everyone laugh at you. I think Chao Junhui has bad intentions and is deliberately making things difficult for you."

Li Pingan smiled and said, "I know, he is jealous of me for having such a beautiful wife like you. Don't worry, I will definitely think of a good program. Your man is very talented."

Hearing Li Pingan say this, Yu Li felt relieved.

After dinner, Li Pingan did not return to the office. He went straight home.

At home, he thought for a long time and didn't know what to perform. It would be easy for him to perform a magic trick. He could do anything with space. But it would be hard to explain it later.

Finally, I think singing has better stage effect. And his voice is not bad either.

Finally, what songs should we sing? In today's environment, we can't sing songs that are too advanced, such as those about love and romance, because it will have a bad influence.

After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with an idea. Let's sing "Loyalty to the Country". This song is more suitable for today's society. After all, everyone has a passion to defend their country.

Once you have the song in mind, it’s easy. Just write the lyrics based on your memory.

After writing the lyrics, Li Pingan sang them a few times until he was familiar with them. But he felt that singing them dryly didn't make much sense, and without the accompaniment, the song lacked some artistic conception.

When I think of accompaniment, the first thing that comes to mind is the guitar. When I was in school, someone in the dormitory bought it to pick up girls, and he learned it. And he plays it pretty well, but I haven't played it for a long time, so I don't know how it is?

It also reminded me of the time when I saw someone using a big drum to accompany a performance in the square. It was so impressive.

He decided to look around first to see if there were any guitars for sale.

I rode my bike to the department store and looked around but couldn't find it. I asked around for a long time before I finally found the Cultural Palace.

Finally, he found a place that sells guitars. These things are all imported from foreign countries and are not cheap at all. Li Pingan spent more than 90 yuan on a guitar that looked pretty good.

When he returned home with his guitar, he was too embarrassed to practice at home, so he entered the space.

After practicing seriously for dozens of times in the space, I finally found the feeling.

Then he played and sang. When it was almost dark outside, two days had passed inside. Li Pingan finally came out.

Now he can’t say he has reached the master level, but he has no problem with general performance.

The next day, he came to the purchasing department and showed Zhou Changming the lyrics he had written. He also sang it aloud to Zhou Changming.

Hearing his cheers, even Yu Li and Ji Qingshan outside the door clapped excitedly.

Zhou Changming encouraged him a lot. After knowing that this was a song written by Li Pingan himself, everyone looked at him like a monster. He wrote such a good song in one night. He was really talented.

Yu Li's eyes were filled with honey as she looked at Li Ping'an with admiration.

Li Pingan also wanted to bring everyone together to have more fun, so he said, "Chief Zhou, I need a few more people to cooperate with the performance."

When Zhou Changming heard that several people were needed to cooperate, he said, "Ping An, please do whatever you need us to do. Everyone will try their best to cooperate with you."

Li Pingan thought for a moment and said, "I will play the guitar to accompany my singing, and I will need someone to hold the microphone for me. If possible, I would like to borrow two bass drums and find two more people to accompany me."

Everyone was even more incredulous when they heard that Li Ping'an could also play the guitar.

Zhou Changming said: "You can also play the guitar? That thing is a foreign thing."

"When I was in school, my classmates had guitars, so I learned from them. I went to buy one yesterday afternoon. The effect is pretty good." Li Pingan replied.

"I didn't expect you to give me another big surprise. Can I ask Yu Li to get you the microphone? As for the big drum you mentioned, we have it in our factory. We use it every time we welcome leaders. I'll borrow it for you. It's not difficult."

After saying that, Zhou Changming thought for a moment and said, "Who do you want to find to play the drums? This is not easy to do, right?"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Playing the drums is very simple. You just need to keep up with the rhythm. Just practice a few times."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Qingshan and Feng Gaoge and said, "Brother Ji, Brother Feng, you two come together. Let's show them the strength of our three departments."

When Ji Qingshan heard that there was still something for him to do, he quickly declined, "Forget it. I can't play the drums."

Feng Gaoge was also shaking his head.

Li Pingan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's really easy. Borrow the drums and I'll teach you. You'll learn it in no time."

Zhou Changming said, "What time do you want to wait? Let's go! Let's go to the Propaganda Department and move in now."

After saying that, he led the way out. Li Pingan also followed Ji Qingshan and the others to the Propaganda Department.

He found the head of the publicity department, Shen Degui. When Shen Degui saw that it was the wine god Li Pingan who came to see him, he smiled and said, "Li Pingan, I haven't even settled the score with you for getting me drunk last time, and you still want to borrow something?"

Li Pingan also said awkwardly: "Chief Shen, it was not my fault last time. You guys were the ones who attacked me. I was forced to fight back."

Shen Degui laughed and said, "Anyway, you got me drunk. If you want to borrow something, you have to help me next time if I need someone to drink with you."

Li Pingan also agreed reluctantly.

So a few people picked out two relatively new-looking red drums from the warehouse and carried them back to the purchasing department.

Liu Zhiwei, who was passing by, saw it and asked in surprise: "Lao Zhou, what kind of show are you preparing? It looks like it's quite a big event."

Zhou Changming said proudly: "Keep it secret, you will know when the time comes. We must surpass the other two departments this time."

Liu Zhiwei also said happily: "Okay, as long as I'm not at the bottom."

These words made Zhou Changming so angry that he turned around and left.

Back in the office, Li Pingan typed it out again according to his memory. Not satisfied, he changed a few places and practiced a few more times. Only then did he stop when he was satisfied.

So he pulled Ji Qingshan and Feng Gaoge together to practice.
