Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

After returning home, Lin Xiangdong prepared two braised fish and used another one to make soup.

Tasting the delicious fish soup, paired with homemade steamed buns, and enjoying the unique flavor of braised fish, Lin Xiangdong felt very satisfied throughout the evening.

Life should be positive and look to the future. In order to better integrate into this era, he began to try his best to adapt to the rhythm of the current society.

Lin Xiangdong also felt curious and had some insights into the unique characteristics and customs of this era.

After dinner and a rest, he concentrated on studying the assembly of Luban lock.

When I went to the countryside to show a movie, I got a badly damaged old book, which listed in detail more than ten different types of Luban locks.

If he hadn't had nothing else to do, he might not have been so obsessed with it - if he had only had a TV, he would probably have forgotten about it.

……

In the blink of an eye, on the other side of the Jia family.

Jia Zhang discovered that her precious gold ring was missing.

At this moment, grandson Banggeng was still at school and had not returned yet, Xiaodang was also playing in the yard, and only Qin Huairu was left sitting at the gate.

"Qin Huairu, did you secretly take away my golden finger?" Jia Zhang widened her narrow eyes and walked towards her with anger.

Although no cash or tickets were missing from the house, she believed the ring must have been stolen.

The last theft of money is still fresh in our memory, and now something has been stolen again, which makes thieves more and more brazen.

"You said the golden finger was lost? This was not my fault!" Qin Huairu showed a surprised expression and felt secretly angry in her heart.

After all, they were family members, and it was very hurtful and impolite for Jia Zhang to directly blame her for stealing.

"My gold ring was stolen." Jia Zhang was in a bad mood and was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

After she realized that her money was missing last time, she moved her private money to a safer place and hid it, but she didn't expect to lose her gold ring this time.

In fact, Qin Huairu knew that Jia Zhang once owned a ring and had envied it for a long time. Now when she heard that the gold ring was stolen, Qin Huairu naturally could not remain calm.

"Could it be possible that you accidentally forgot where you put it?"

"Would you put my ring in the wrong place?" Jia Zhang retorted with a serious face.

"I really don't know why he disappeared, why don't we search for him thoroughly!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu took the lead in starting the search.

……

Back at the factory, there were not too many busy tasks at the moment, so Lin Xiangdong sat leisurely sipping tea.

At this time, a system prompt sounded.

After putting down the teacup in his hand and slowly closing his eyes, he felt a new gold ** added to his personal space.

Obviously, this is the one that belongs to Jia Zhang.

This gold ring weighs 13 grams.

Gold could not be bought and sold during this period, so it was difficult to estimate exactly how much the 13 grams of gold was worth.

Maybe I should go to the pigeon market and exchange the gold ring for some cash, Lin Xiangdong thought to himself.

……

Qin Huairu searched through all the drawers and cabinets at home but couldn't find the gold ring, and she looked helpless.

Old Mrs. Jia collapsed on the ground, crying and slapping her thighs from time to time.

"What's going on? Huairu, why is your mother-in-law crying?" The aunt who was in the yard heard Mrs. Jia crying and hurried over.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything, after all, the gold ring was so enviable.

"My gold ring was stolen by someone. What a damn thief! Old Jia, Dongxu, please take me away from this damn place." Old Mrs. Jia said sadly while crying.

"Gold ring?" The aunt looked at Mrs. Jia in surprise.

This old lady is really something. She has such a precious gold ring but she doesn't keep it properly. You know, she usually stays at home, and people come and go in the yard. It's hard to imagine that outsiders would have the opportunity to steal the ring.

"Don't be anxious, old lady. Maybe you put it in some other corner and forgot about it. Think carefully and you will definitely find it." said the old lady.

"Tsk, I knew you said that because you wanted to laugh at me!" Old Mrs. Jia was blinded by anger.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu knew that the situation was going to be bad.

"What a mouth you have!" The old lady turned away in anger. She was too lazy to argue with this stubborn old lady.

Qin Huairu quickly chased after her and explained to her aunt, but she was in no mood to pay attention.

Seeing the aunt leaving angrily, Qin Huairu could only sigh deeply. She knew that her mother-in-law's stupidity and stubbornness made people hate her again.

"Mom, Third Aunt really wants to help, why do you say that?" Qin Huairu asked her.

"What a kindness!" Old Mrs. Jia spat with contempt.

In order to maintain Qin Huairu's image and play the role of a vicious mother-in-law, Mrs. Jia simply stopped pretending. But Qin Huairu just wanted to have less trouble.

As for Mrs. Jia, she felt that the Yan family was just so-so and a little stingy, and that saying nice things would not mean any real help. Therefore, she did not think that she had suffered much loss by offending an old lady.

But when Huairu tried to persuade her again, Mrs. Jia became unhappy. As a mother-in-law, did she still need to be taught a lesson by her daughter-in-law?

The Jia family does not have to make any decision based on Qin Huairu's expression.

Later, she suspected that Xiaodang had stolen her gold ring, and later even Penggen, who was returning home from school, could not escape her suspicion.

In the evening, when Lin Xiangdong returned home, he saw the chaos in the Jia Mansion.

Everyone hasn't even had dinner yet and yet a big meeting for the entire community has to be held.

Mrs. Jia's gold ring is missing, and she insists that she was raped. This matter is very serious and a meeting must be held to resolve it.

At first, the third uncle introduced the specific situation, and then the second uncle added some details. In the end, the first uncle presided over the meeting.

"Does Mrs. Jia still have a gold ring?"

"It's really careless to lose something this important."

"If we follow what Mrs. Jia said, then the possibility of an outsider can be ruled out. It should be said that it was done by someone in the family."

"The hardest thing to guard against is a thief within the family."

The special IOUs provided by the system and their psychological impact on the debtor are indeed magical, but it is understandable that such a system can allow a person to travel through time and space and grant longevity elixirs and private storage space, so it is understandable that there are some incredible aspects to it.

All in all, Lin Xiangdong still cannot be fully convinced by this system.

……

After the meeting, night had already enveloped the earth.

Lin Xiangdong did not return home, but left the courtyard and prepared to go to a place called Pigeon City to sell the gold ring in his personal space.

It is not clear how much cash the gold ring can be exchanged for, but he estimates that it is definitely not a small amount.

It is not clear how many pigeon markets there are in Beijing, but there is one next to Nanluoguxiang.

After walking out of the alley and making sure that there was no one around, Lin Xiangdong took out an old cotton jacket from his personal space and put it on.

He then put on a hat and a mask to fully cover himself.

After getting dressed, he quickly reached a narrow alley.

There were several people squatting in the alley, also dressed secretly.

Continue walking to the end, and you will see several simple small courtyards.

The Pigeon Market is essentially a private trading place, not so magical or secretive.

Those selling items try to keep a low profile.

Finding a place near the wall, Lin Xiangdong squatted down with his back against the wall and waited quietly.

There is a saying that if the pigeon market was raided, a carrier pigeon would be released as a warning, and people would quickly evacuate the scene to avoid being caught.

Every buyer and seller who comes to the pigeon market is very nervous and cautious, fearing that they will be exposed.

To be honest, Lin Xiangdong was not too worried. After all, he had his own private space, and even if he was caught, no illegal items would be found on him. At most, he would receive some reprimand and education; and even then, the factory would not fire him; he could continue to play videos in the workplace, and he might just need to write a letter of apology.

After observing for a period of time, he had a general understanding of the situation.

Some people sold their personal belongings, while others looked for vouchers to buy food.

After a while, he set his sights on a person, who should be a man, dressed quite conservatively. It seemed that he had no worries about spending money.

Then he stood up and walked straight towards the chosen person.

He lowered his voice and pretended to be hoarse and asked, "Do you want gold?"

gold?

The man's expression also showed a hint of shock.

Even in the larger dove markets, this type of precious gold trading is not common.

"Let's go there." The man lowered his voice and pointed to a hidden corner.

The two moved to the dark corner at the other side of the wall and began to discuss matters quietly.

This person is willing to buy gold. According to the agreement, he can pay 10 yuan per gram, so the total value of the 13-gram gold ring is 130 yuan.

Lin Xiangdong was satisfied with the price.

After the negotiation is reached, the next step is the nuclear test goods, followed by the transaction process.

……

When Lin Xiangdong left Pigeon City, there was an extra 130 yuan in his personal space.

In a secluded place, he put the torn cotton robe, hat, mask and gloves back into the storage space; only then did he relax his tense mood.

He had a deep impression after experiencing such a dangerous journey full of unknowns.

Now that he had the watch certificate and enough money, he decided to buy a watch the next day.

It was already after 10 o'clock in the evening when I returned to the courtyard where I lived. At this time, most of the neighbors living here had fallen asleep.

The Jia residence located in the central courtyard was still lit by kerosene lamps.

Jia Zhang must be tossing and turning tonight, and Qin Huairu is also facing a sleepless night.

After taking a look at the Jia family, Lin Xiangdong immediately withdrew his gaze.

When he stepped into his house, he saw the chicken coop. Lin Xiangdong touched it casually and accidentally touched two eggs.

Store the eggs properly and cook them into delicious tea eggs in a few days.

Then he fetched some water to clean his feet and bathe.

Thinking about the fact that he would be able to buy a watch tomorrow, Lin Xiangdong couldn't help but feel excited.

Among the four major household equipments of the so-called "three turns and one ring", Lin Xiangdong now owns a bicycle to ride. After purchasing the watch, only the sewing machine and the radio are left to be obtained.
