Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

Get on your bike and go straight to Dongliulichang.

Chen Jianghe followed the house number and soon found the three-story courtyard.

Ever since the house was transferred to Chen Jianghe's name, the original residents were cleared out by the old housekeeper, but on the surface it is still rented out to the public.

As long as the street office doesn't come for surprise inspections, there will be no problem.

Even if someone reports it, you can just say that something happened at someone else's house and they're not staying there for the time being.

At the southernmost end of the three-story courtyard is a row of south-facing houses with the main gate on one side.

It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, only the gates of the mansions of kings, princes and dukes could be opened in the middle.

According to Chen Jianghe's mother, the small courtyard house left by his grandfather Sun Qiren had the gate in the middle and there was no back house.

It is really possible that the small courtyard was once part of a royal palace.

The gate of the three-courtyard house on his grandfather's side is the most common Ruyi gate. In that era, gates could not be built casually, there were regulations.

According to their identities, merchants built Ruyi Gate.

There is a small house on one side of the gate, which was where the gatekeeper lived in the past, equivalent to the doorman in later generations.

After entering the gate, the screen wall is directly opposite, and the front yard is from the side.

The back house in the front yard is also called the south house. In the middle of the row of houses is a large reception room.

On both sides of the reception room are the former servants' quarters, and sometimes guest rooms are also arranged in the front yard.

From the front yard, through the hanging flower gate is the middle yard, which is much larger than the front yard.

There are several main houses in the north, with side rooms on both sides.

There are wing rooms on the east and west sides respectively, which according to the old rules are where the eldest son and the second son live.

The east wing is next to the kitchen, right on the corridor leading to the front yard, and the west wing is next to the toilet.

Walking inward from the east corridor is the backyard.

There are corridors connecting the front and back yards, so you can walk freely when it rains without worrying about getting wet.

Chen Jianghe strolled from the front yard to the back yard and found that his grandfather's house was much larger than an ordinary three-courtyard house.

The front yard is pretty standard, but the area from backyard to backyard is extremely large and there are many rooms.

Take the ear room in the central courtyard for example. The average ear room, like the one in the courtyard where he lives now, has an area of ​​five or six square meters at most.

But once you enter the ear room, you will find that there are actually two rooms inside, which cannot be seen from the outside. The illusion is done very well.

The three main rooms in the central courtyard, just looking at the area, are equivalent to five rooms in other people’s houses!

Maybe this is the usual routine of businessmen. They like to keep a low profile and travel at night in fine clothes.

Chen Jianghe was in the main house at this time. There were three rooms in the house. The middle one was the living room, and the left and right sides were the study and bedroom respectively.

If I can marry two wives in the future, why would I need a study? I can just let my eldest wife live in the east room and my youngest wife live in the west room.

There is a living room in the middle, which makes it convenient to run back and forth between the two sides.

In other words, the current law does not allow polygamy, so it cannot be implemented on the surface.

The rooms in his courtyards were all empty. Just now, when Chen Jianghe was walking and looking in the front yard, he saw some furniture placed there.

Of course, they were all bought with money, or the same pile in the courtyard, but he had kept them in his space.

As for the middle courtyard, it will be where I will live in the future, so I won’t put any furniture there for the time being.

Firstly, he had to carefully select the things he used, and secondly, he had to let people know that other people had delivered things to his house.

Otherwise, what would happen if tables, chairs and benches appeared out of nowhere?

Usually the backyard of a three-courtyard compound just has a row of houses, but this is not the case here.

Although the backyard is shorter than the middle yard in depth, the horizontal direction is exactly the same.

The layout of the house is the same as that of the central courtyard, with east and west wing rooms, kitchen, toilet, and side rooms.

If the expansion can continue in the future, a large courtyard with four entrances will be completed.

Chen Jianghe counted and found that there were eight rooms in the front yard, thirteen rooms in the middle yard and thirteen rooms in the back yard, not including the kitchen, toilet and utility room.

It would not be too much to say that there are forty houses in total. If his family lives alone, there is simply not enough space.

Even if you give birth to three or five children in the future, there is still enough space for you to live here!

Chen Jianghe thought that if he could really live here in the future, there would be open space in front of the side rooms in the middle courtyard and the backyard, so he could grow fruits and vegetables by himself, and he wouldn't have to buy vegetables.

He could even raise some chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc., and be self-sufficient in meat.

Of course, these are just his unsystematic ideas.

The farm in the space has already harvested countless times. If they really want to eat it, it would be enough for their family to eat in a hundred lifetimes.

Thinking of the farm, Chen Jianghe didn't know whether Wu Xiang had received his letter.

Although only half a day had passed, he felt as if he had been waiting for three years.

It’s almost time to go back to Qianmen Street.

Chen Jianghe took one last look at his big house. It was free and it smelled so good!

He locked the door and left, as he had to settle the accounts in the afternoon.

After all, I'm a one-day level eight non-staff clerk. I can't work overtime tomorrow!

After returning to the neighborhood office, Chen Jianghe did not ask about the account that had problems at noon. His job was to calculate the data anyway.

As for who caused the problem, it has nothing to do with him.

Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jianghe officially announced the completion of the project.

After he sorted out several folded account books, he also went through the entry procedures for himself.

We have to do something to get medical treatment for free.

Before leaving, he received a total of 125 yuan for the houses of the three shops, and another 5 yuan as part-time fee, which made a total of 130 yuan.

They felt comfortable, the mission was successfully completed, and then they left.

When he returned to the courtyard, he thought for a while, took some meat and vegetables from the space, and put them directly into the bag on the handlebars.

It’s closed today, so it’s not too much to eat something good.

As I walked into the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet Yan Bugui who had also returned.

School ends early now, so we can leave at three or four in the afternoon.

It’s just that teachers’ salaries are really not high. It’s not all because Yan Bugui and his wife are stingy. There are so many people to support with so little money.

"Wow! Chen Jianghe, you made money again!"

Yan Bugui adjusted his black-framed glasses and started calculating again.

The meat hanging on the handlebars is coming out...

"How can that be possible, Uncle San, you know I don't have a job.

All the money depends on my wife's income, and even then I have to save up to pay back the house loan to the street office.

The steel mill closed today, so I took back Xiao'e's wages. Otherwise, how could I have the money to buy meat?"

Chen Jianghe’s main character is a humble person. His family is poor and he has had a hard time starting to eat meat.

Outside the gate, Shazhu came in staggeringly carrying a lunch box.

Seeing Chen Jianghe chatting in the front yard, he quickly shouted:

"Chen Jianghe, you won another award!"
