Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Ning Yuan hadn't slept so soundly for a long time, especially after a vigorous exercise. He hugged Meng Qing's fair and plump body and slept very peacefully.

The next morning, it was Meng Qing who woke Ning Yuan up.

The old couple had already prepared breakfast and were waiting for the two children to wake up.

But he didn't call them. He waited until almost nine o'clock. After Meng Qing got up, he pulled Ning Yuan up as well.

After Ning Yuan had breakfast here, he asked Meng Qing to stay here with Meng Yulou and his wife for the next two days.

He told his father-in-law and mother-in-law that he was very busy in the next two days, and then left on his bicycle.

After coming out of Houhai, Ning Yuan first went to Caishikou.

After telling his father Ning Wanli and Zhong Yan about Meng Qing's recent stay at her mother's house, he also said that he would go to renovate the house in the No. 2 courtyard of Shen District in the next two days.

Ning Wanli naturally had no objection. Now that he had been promoted, he had a lot of things to do.

If he were really asked to worry about the house in Courtyard No. 2, he really wouldn't be able to take care of it.

Zhong Yan was also reasonable. Meng Qing had been gone for so long, and although she had only come back for a few days last time, it was reasonable for her to spend more time with her parents.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ning Yuan took Ning Wei out of the yard.

I went to the second courtyard first and took a look at the situation at home.

Fortunately, the neighbors in the yard have taken the initiative to clean up the place.

Broken glass, worn-out furniture, porcelain bowls, stoves, etc. were basically all cleaned up.

The house is basically bare, bare in the true physical sense, with nothing left.

Well, that's a good idea, it saves a lot of trouble.

After Ning Yuan went to the backyard to call Fatty Fan over, he arranged for him and Ning Wei to go to Dongyaotou to recruit some bricklayers, and the other to go to Baizhifang to find some carpenters.

First lay the floor, then whitewash the walls. At this time, there is no need for tiles or anything, just a cement floor will be enough.

Then ask the carpenter to measure the size of the house and make some cabinets, doors and windows.

Yes, during this period, doors, windows and other things were also the work of carpenters.

Ning Yuan went to the department store to buy some pots and pans, bedding and other daily necessities for home.

The three of them worked separately, and by noon, all the required masons and carpenters had arrived.

No matter what materials are used or what items are purchased, Ning Yuan does not give any discounts and pays directly.

So everyone is very motivated.

Since everything was busy here, Ning Yuan didn't have the heart to supervise the work here. After asking the fat aunt next door to help watch it, he took Fatty Fan and Ning Wei out of the yard.

Coincidentally, they ran into Zou Cheng, Tian Erliang and others who had just arrived at the gate of the yard.

These guys came just in time for lunch.

Ning Yuan laughed and scolded, and without any further ado, he took his brothers to Donglaishun.

It’s still the familiar taste, the steaming copper pot and the thinly sliced ​​lamb.

Ning Yuan and his friends came here just for the mutton hotpot, so there were six of them in total, and Ning Yuan directly ordered six pounds of mutton.

Eat first, order more if it’s not enough, and eat to your heart’s content.

The mutton is cooked by rolling up and down several times in the boiling copper pot.

After picking it up, dip it into a bowl filled with sesame paste, sesame oil, minced garlic, aged vinegar and coriander, and swallow it in one gulp.

Comfortable!!!

In such hot weather, coupled with the boiling hot copper pot of meat, it didn't take long for these guys to be sweating profusely.

Ning Yuan shouted to the guy behind him and directly brought over a dozen bottles of Arctic Ocean soda that had been cooled in the well water in the backyard.

There was a coolness coming from the glass bottle. After drinking half of it in one breath, I felt cool from head to toe.

After dinner, it was time to get down to business, thinking that those female educated youth had hardly ever had a taste of the special drinks of their old city.

So Ning Yuan directly moved two boxes of Beibingyang soda from Donglaishun.

A group of people carried soda to the train station.

When leaving yesterday, Ning Yuan had already bought food, drinks and daily necessities for Zhang Shengnan and the others.

So when Ning Yuan and the others arrived, they had already finished their meal.

He doesn't need to worry about it at all.

After moving the Arctic Ocean soda into the yard, Ning Yuan let them share it.

He called Zhang Shengnan aside and began to ask who the female educated youth were who were preparing to return to their hometown.

If we want to go to the general office of educated youth and transfer these materials back, we will definitely need their original assignment information.

After hearing Ning Yuan's words, Zhang Shengnan suddenly became hesitant.

After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke to Ning Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, they also want to stay in Sijiu City. Do you think it's possible to let them stay here as well?"

It was yesterday at Lao Mo's restaurant that I saw that Ning Yuan really has a lot of power and connections in the city, so I changed my mind.

No one is stupid. These days, um, I should say no matter what year it is, it is always nice to take shelter under a big tree.

If you follow the right noble person, you will really have to work less for many years.

Zhang Shengnan and other female educated youth who had originally planned to stay in the old city, spontaneously started to persuade those who were about to leave.

Just like that, almost everyone changed their minds and decided to stay in Sijiu City with Zhang Shengnan and the others.

After listening to Zhang Shengnan's words, Ning Yuan nodded directly and agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, a few more is no problem. You can stay. You'll all be together and familiar with each other. I'll make the arrangements in a few days!"

Hearing Ning Yuan really agree, Zhang Shengnan was overjoyed and went towards the female educated youth.

Obviously it was time to announce the good news.

In addition, several female educated youth who had already dated Hu Lianwang, Cheng Hu and other buddies were also picked up by those guys early in the morning and went home to meet their parents.

Ning Yuan knew that this hurdle was not easy to overcome if they really had to stay in the countryside for the rest of their lives, or if their parents were not released.

Well, to put it bluntly, they were marrying above their station by being able to be with these female educated youth.

I don't think their parents would be dissatisfied at all.

But things are different now. These guys have all returned to the city, and they have all been released from the quarantine center.

Most of them have had their job grades and benefits restored, and one or two have even been promoted.

This is different. Being well-matched is not just a simple saying. The older generation still hopes that their children can marry someone with similar family background and rank among their comrades.

Those female educated youth basically came from ordinary families in various places.

Naturally, she is not the ideal match in their minds.

Ning Yuan couldn't care less about so many things, but he was willing to trust his buddies.

I've been with him for so long, and he married a girl from an opera family, so this can at least shut up some of the elders.
