Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"laugh"

When Shen Yue said this, the neighbors all thought of the scene where Jia Zhang summoned Old Jia, and they couldn't help laughing.

Jia Zhang stayed there, she didn't know whether to summon Old Jia next.

"Jia Zhang, if you dare to call me Old Jia today, I will send you to the street office and accuse you of promoting feudal superstition and parade you through the streets!"

Shen Yue's tone was very serious and earnest, and no one present had any doubt that she really dared to do this.

Promoting feudal superstition is a matter of both serious and minor nature. In the smallest case, it means you are missing your deceased loved ones. In the biggest case, it means you are attempting to restore the old ways and is harmful to society.

When Jia Zhang thought of being paraded through the streets, her face showed panic and fear, as if she had thought of something terrible. She quickly waved her hands and said, "I dare not, I dare not."

She had seen people being paraded through the streets, where they were tied up and had hats with their crimes written on them, and people threw stones and splashed slop on them.

After a parade, people looked neither human nor ghost. She didn't want to become like that.

Shen Yue looked at Jia Zhangshi and felt that she was boring. She had never taken Jia Zhangshi seriously. The only person in the Jia family who was interesting was Qin Huairu.

"Everyone, are you still watching? It's time to go home and cook. If you come back late, my family won't care if Jia Zhang comes to your house for dinner. Qin Huairu, come and take your mother-in-law home. She's annoying everyone every day."

After Shen Yue finished speaking, she handed Jiang Fan two new locks and asked him to lock the door.

"Erniu, Dalei, go home for dinner later. Daniu will be back at noon."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Only after seeing the Jiang family leave did Yan Bugui stand up. "Ahem, everyone, go home if you have nothing to do. It's almost noon, and we still have to cook. Remember to come to the meeting tonight so we can get to know the new residents."

After everyone left, the Jiang family suddenly had two more workers, and this matter would become a topic of conversation among them again.

"Mom, I'm home."

Qin Huairu approached Jia Zhang cautiously, fearing that Jia Zhang would slap her without explanation.

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu fiercely, patted her butt and went home.

At the Jiang family, Shen Yue asked Jiang Fan to talk to Jiang Erniu and Jiang Dalei about the personalities of the people in the yard.

Jiang Fan focused on explaining to them the main characters: the three managers, the Jia family, the He family, the Xu family, and the old deaf man in the backyard.

"Brother Fan, there are so many monsters in your yard."

Jiang Dalei had never seen the evils of the world, and the true faces of these people really shocked him.

"Uncle Er, Da Lei, remember, there are few good people in this courtyard. Our family doesn't get along with them, and there's no need to have any friendship with them.

By the way, Xu Damao from the Xu family in the backyard plays well with me, but he's not a good guy, so you don't need to get too close to him."

Jiang Fan thought of Xu Damao, and wondered what that guy was doing recently.

What Jiang Fan didn't know was that ever since he gave Xu Damao a copy of "Thirty-Six Strategies", Xu Damao had been like a possessed person, studying it all day long and discussing it with his father Xu Wude so often that Xu Wude even suspected that Xu Damao had gone crazy.

At noon, after work at the steel rolling mill, Jiang Daniu and Jiang Ping'an came back to eat.

"Erniu, where did you get the house?"

"Brother, you'll be assigned the two-room building in the front, which is over 40 square meters. I've made up my mind. I'll go to the street office this afternoon to find the renovation team and ask them to do some renovations.

"Let's use the furniture first and buy more later. When the house is ready, I'll bring Xiaohua and the two boys over. They'll be staying at your house for a few days."

Jiang Erniu's face was filled with a happy smile. He had never dared to imagine such a day before.

I have a job in the city and a house. Although it is not big, it is still a home. I can't always trouble my eldest brother's family. I am not a leech that sucks blood all day long.

"What's the trouble? We are brothers. Is the money enough? If not, I will give you some."

"I still have money, and I can get a salary after going to work. But Fanzi, I may have to pay back less of the money my uncle owes you."

Jiang Erniu felt a little embarrassed. He went home and emptied his belongings, but only found less than two hundred yuan.

This amount of money is only enough to repair the house, but fortunately he listened to Jiang Fan last year and got a lot of food, and Jiang Fan also gave him a lot, so at least he doesn't have to worry about food.

Chapter 56: Jiang Family Matters

In the afternoon, Jiang Fan brought Jiang Erniu to the street office to find the decoration team.

"Hello, comrade. I'm Gao Shan, the captain of the renovation team in charge of our street office."

Captain Gao was a dark-skinned man about fifty years old. His clothes were not very clean and he had thick fingers, which made him look very powerful.

"Hello, Captain Gao. The house we want to renovate is not big, just two back rooms. If Captain Gao is free, shall we go take a look first?"

Jiang Fan stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Captain Gao's hand, but Captain Gao declined and put the cigarettes in his pocket.

"Okay, let's go and take a look. I'll tell you what I think first, and you can raise any opinions if you have any."

Captain Gao grinned. When he was doing renovations for someone, the owner would usually give out cigarettes, but not many people would give him a box on the first meeting.

After returning to the courtyard, Captain Gao walked around the two back houses. The project was not big, and it would only take two or three days. It depended on how Jiang Fan and the others would handle it.

"I've taken a look. Although this house hasn't been lived in for quite some time, the structural materials are still quite solid. It doesn't need any major renovations, just some repairs. Do you have any requirements?"

"Just a little repair will do. Can we open a door in the middle between these two rooms?"

Uncle Jiang asked, pointing to the brick wall in the middle of the room.

"Open the door, no problem. How wide do you want it?"

“It doesn’t have to be too big, just enough to get past people.”

"Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Captain Gao discussed with Uncle Jiang for a while, and the two agreed on 80 yuan for labor and materials, with a meal provided at noon, and the work was to be completed in three days.

Jiang Fan originally wanted to lay a water pipe for his second uncle's house, but his second uncle did not agree, and Jiang Fan did not force him.

In the evening, everyone in the courtyard went home after get off work.

Yan Bugui waited for Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong at the front yard gate and told them that Jiang Erniu's family had started working in the steel rolling mill and were allocated two back-to-back rooms in the front.

Liu Haizhong didn't care and said that there was a new resident in the yard, so everyone just needed to have a meeting in the evening to get to know each other.

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show anything.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he heard Auntie say that Jia Zhang had another conflict with the Jiang family today, and he felt even more upset.

"How come the Jiang family is so capable of causing trouble?"

The old lady remained silent, and it was obvious who was right and who was wrong. It was all for the sake of retirement.

After dinner in the evening, each family in the courtyard sent a representative to gather in the central courtyard.

"Ahem, today's meeting isn't about anything big, it's just that a new neighbor is moving in to our compound. I'd like to introduce them to everyone so everyone can get to know each other."

Liu Haizhong took a sip of tea and said, "Let's have our new neighbors, Jiang Erniu and his son, come up and say hello to everyone."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to talk, and Yan Bugui didn't want to care, so Liu Hai was the only one standing out in the meeting tonight.

"Hello, neighbors. I'm Jiang Erniu, and this is my son, Jiang Dalei. Jiang Daniu, who lives in the front yard, is my brother. In a few days, I'll bring my wife and two sons over and introduce them to the area.

We are all neighbors from now on, and we hope to live in peace with you all."

After finding out what most of the people in the yard were like at noon, Jiang Erniu didn't plan to have a good relationship with them. He just wanted to be an ordinary neighbor.

"Okay, everyone welcome our new neighbors, Jiang Erniu and his family."

Liu Haizhong took the lead in clapping, and the people in the yard responded, and the welcome meeting ended.

……

Three days passed quickly.

Because Jiang Erniu and Jiang Dalei were at work, the decoration work was always taken care of by Jiang Fan.

During these three days, Yan Bugui often came here under the pretext of checking the progress of the renovation, but his eyes were always on the decoration materials.

As soon as the three-day project was completed, Yan Bugui ran to Captain Gao impatiently.

"Captain Gao, right? I'm Yan Bugui, a teacher at Red Star Primary School."

"Hello, Mr. Yan."

When Gao Shan heard that the person in front of him was a teacher, he felt a little respect for him.

"Captain Gao, I'd like to ask, are these demolished bricks and these scrap materials no longer needed?"

Looking at the things Yan Bugui pointed at, Captain Gao nodded and said, "No need for that. However, these are the master's belongings. You still have to ask the master how to deal with them. I don't have that authority."

Hearing that Jiang Fan was still being questioned, Yan Bugui didn't dare to make a move. "Yes, it's time to ask. You guys get busy, I'm going back."

Yan Bugui turned and went home, leaving Captain Gaoshan bewildered. He was a little confused about what Teacher Yan was trying to do.

"Old Li, go call Brother Jiang over and have him inspect the quality of the work."

Jiang Fan came over to take a look and found that the project was indeed very well done.

"Okay, you did a great job. Captain Gao, here's the final payment."

Jiang Fan was not the type to hesitate. After confirming the quality of the project, he immediately paid the balance.

Gao Shan was not polite and counted the money in front of Jiang Fan to avoid confusion later.

"The amount is correct. Brother Jiang, could you please sign here so we can report back."

Gao Shan took out a list and Jiang Fan wrote down his name.

"Captain Gao, I have something else to trouble you with. I need your help in tidying up those things at the door."

Jiang Fan handed Captain Gao two more packs of cigarettes and said, "Okay, that's all. It'll be done in a moment. Guys, clean up for Brother Jiang."

"okay."

The people in the decoration team have had a very good impression of the Jiang family these days. They don't interfere with the project, have tea and water available at any time, the lunch is also good, and they have two packs of cigarettes every day.

They have not met many masters like this in their lives, so they work very efficiently.

After seeing off the decoration team, Jiang Fan locked both doors.

In the evening, the Jiang family gathered together and discussed bringing Second Aunt and the others over during the weekend.

Finally, it was decided that the day after tomorrow, the weekend, Jiang Daniu and Jiang Ping'an would go with us to pick the person up.

……

On a weekend afternoon, under the envious gaze of the people in Niujia Village, the Jiang family and their group embarked on a journey into the city.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Jiang Fan started school again. This time, no one saw him off. He found Huang Ming and the two of them went to school together.

He has been busy these days. He first checked the homework of Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue, and then went to Hongxing Junior High School to plead with his old principal.

After another test confirmed that Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue were indeed at this level, the principal happily agreed to their application to transfer.

At this point, the Jiang family has officially taken root in Beijing.

There were no classes on the first day of school because some students who lived far away from school had not arrived yet.

Late at night, in the student dormitory of Sijiucheng Iron and Steel Technology College.

A dark shadow jumped down from the second floor of the dormitory building without making any sound.

Then the figure continued running at an astonishing speed and soon left the vicinity of the school.

Not long after, an uninvited guest came to Yi Zhonghai's home in Courtyard No. 95.

"Yi Zhonghai, I told you that you will never be able to become an eighth-level worker in your lifetime."

Jiang Fan looked at the sleeping Yi Zhonghai with cold eyes and a cruel smile.

Chapter 57: Attacking Yi Zhonghai

Jiang Fan looked at the sleeping Yi Zhonghai, and first stretched out his hand to slap him and the old lady in the face, making them faint.

Then he took out from the space the "right arm muscle tremor needle" obtained by signing in during the Lantern Festival.

This kind of needle seemed to be specially prepared for Jiang Fan by the system because it knew that he was going to deal with Yi Zhonghai, the fitter.

There's no special effect, except that after the injection, my right arm starts shaking like a Parkinson's patient. With current medical technology, it's impossible to detect.
