Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

When Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard, the work here was almost finished. Several maintenance technicians had already started the finishing work and helped with cleaning.

"Master Yi is back. Look, we have repaired this utility room. The broken tiles on it have been replaced with new ones. You can come and see if you are satisfied." The leading maintenance man, Master Wang, walked over with a cigarette in his mouth and said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Let me see." Yi Zhonghai said as he walked to the utility room. Seeing the ingredients and the craftsmanship, Yi Zhonghai took out 25 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Master Wang. "Here, it was originally 20 yuan, I'll give you 5 yuan more."

"Okay, Master Yi is so generous. We'll leave first. If there's any work you need in the future, remember to come find us." With that, Master Wang left with a few people.

Yi Zhonghai closed the door, lit the coal stove and got into bed. He just felt uncomfortable. How come so many things happened in this courtyard and he didn't know anything about it? Why did he feel like he was the only one who was injured in this courtyard?

Yi Zhonghai just lay in bed in a daze, unable to sleep, and just lay there in a daze until other families started cooking and the smell of food drifted into his room, and then he remembered to eat. He didn't have much appetite at the moment, so he made do with two handfuls of noodles and an egg and ate them.

If you ask when Yi Zhonghai bought the noodles, then it was a good idea. As soon as the blizzard ended, Yi Zhonghai rushed to the market to buy dried noodles, eggs, and other foods that are easy to store. Who knows if it will snow later? Being hungry is really unpleasant, and he doesn't want to be hungry again.

Yi Zhonghai had just finished his meal and was sitting on a stool in a daze when he heard someone knocking on the door. "Knock, knock, knock, Old Yi, Director Wang is here and wants to hold a meeting for the entire hospital. Please come out quickly."

"Hey, here I come." Yi Zhonghai sighed, put on his coat and went out. He knew without thinking why Director Wang came here, but he couldn't not go, after all, he was the one who reported it.

After he left the house, people were sitting in the middle courtyard in groups of three or four. Previously, all meetings of the whole courtyard were held in the middle courtyard. Now that the Jia family's house was burned down, a piece of space in the middle courtyard was vacated, making it seem even more empty. It was the perfect place to hold a meeting.

Soon, almost everyone in the hospital had arrived. Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Bugui patted the table and said to everyone, "Ahem, everyone, please be quiet. Director Wang is here to announce something. Let's all welcome Director Wang to speak!"

"Pa pa pa." Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately burst into applause, which brought Yan Bugui a great sense of satisfaction. After all, this was a feeling he had never had before. When Yi Zhonghai was the boss, he had no chance to speak. Even if Yi Zhonghai was not free, Liu Haizhong would speak, and he could not get a word in. There had never been a situation where both of them were not there. But now it is different. He is the only boss in the whole courtyard, and he has the final say! But he will learn from the lessons of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, otherwise he will be embarrassed.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both had gloomy faces. In the past, they were the ones who stood at the top and spoke. Although Yan Bugui was also the uncle in charge, how could it be possible for him to speak? That was just funny. But now it was completely different. He became the only uncle in charge of the courtyard, and the two of them could only stare at Yan Bugui's speech from below.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to applaud anymore. It's not too late to applaud after I finish talking!" Director Wang stood up and waved his hand. After hearing what Director Wang said, everyone stopped applauding.

"First of all, before I talk about this matter, I have one more thing to say. As everyone knows, the deaf old lady has passed away. Some people must be curious why no one from our street office came to collect the house? So in order to resolve everyone's doubts, I decided to make this matter clear today." Director Wang said to the crowd.

Sure enough, when Director Wang said this, everyone was talking about it. After all, they didn't have much to do, and they also discussed privately why the street office hadn't taken back the house. Although they who lived in this courtyard probably had no chance to get this house, it didn't affect them from joining in the fun. Yan Bugui couldn't help but smile when he heard Director Wang's words. It seemed that Su Xingchen really didn't lie to him.

"It's because this house of the deaf old lady is her private residence. Some time ago, she transferred the house to Xia Lihua, and Xia Lihua sold the house to Su Xingchen's family before she left. In other words, this house belongs to Su Xingchen's family, so don't be surprised if you see them in this house in the future. At the same time, these are all related legal procedures, so don't think too much about it." Director Wang spoke again without caring what others said.

"Who is Xia Lihua? Is there such a person in our courtyard?"

"I don't know? Isn't Chenzi's mother called Liu Lihua? Her last name isn't Xia either. Did Director Wang make a mistake?"

"No, it's an auntie. Her name is Xia Lihua."

"Oh, by the way, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about this old lady."

"I'll tell you later. I heard that she got divorced and went to live with her relatives in another place!" How could such a thing be kept secret? It's such a small place, and with the mouths of Yan Bugui and the third aunt, it won't take long for this matter to be known.

As they spoke, everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai. Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai's face had turned dark. He didn't expect that the women in the courtyard would say it directly. It was too embarrassing.

"So everyone, please don't come to the neighborhood office to report about Su Xingchen's family moving in. We've known about this for a long time." Director Wang took a sip of tea and continued, "Okay, let Captain Zheng from our police station tell us about the next matter." With that, Director Wang sat down.

Zheng Ren came up and said, "Dear neighbors, I think you are all familiar with me. I am Zheng Ren who is in charge of the Jia family case. Of course, my coming here has nothing to do with that case. That case has been handled very clearly. I am here to distribute something today."

"Send things? What things?" He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let him finish speaking." He Daqing looked directly at He Yuzhu's head and said.
