Siheyuan: a flat life

Chapter 1 The Widow Comes to the Door
In the summer of 1962, a three-entry courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, DC District, Sijiu City.

The weather is slightly cooler in the morning.

Wang Ming opened his eyes, sat up slowly, and found that he was in a small bungalow.

White walls, green paint dado, concrete floor.

Tables, chairs and benches painted with yellow paint, a red wardrobe with peeling paint, and a white enamel cup on the wooden table beside the bed.

Then a burst of memory merged into his brain, and Wang Ming immediately understood the current situation.

He has traveled through time, and came to the world of the TV series Bird Man Courtyard.

This is a place full of calculations and intrigues, and there are various characters such as vampires, white-eyed wolves, villains, and hypocrites.

Almost no normal neighbors.

But his current situation is very bad.

His predecessor was an ordinary resident in a courtyard house, also named Wang Ming.

He is a young man, but he is mentally handicapped, and he couldn't even get into elementary school.

The current intelligence level is almost equivalent to that of an eight-year-old child, and he cannot take care of many things by himself.

The parents who had worked so hard to raise him were workers in a steel rolling mill. They died unexpectedly in an accident, and the funeral was just finished yesterday.

Now he is an orphan without any relatives, and he is still a fool. Obviously, a person cannot continue to survive.

Yesterday, the three elders of the courtyard held a meeting of the whole courtyard and discussed with the people in the courtyard about raising him.

The elder Yi Zhonghai said that his parents were also old neighbors of the courtyard, and they got along well with everyone, so the people in the courtyard had to help take care of their son.

After hearing this, none of the people in the courtyard refused, and they all expressed their willingness to help take care of the original owner.

It's not that they are righteous, it's that the original owner's fat is too fragrant.

Not only did he have a pension of 1000 yuan after his parents died, but he also had two houses, a bicycle, and an unknown large sum of savings at home.

And the most important thing is that there are two workstations in his home.

In this era, the workers in the rolling mills were the iron rice bowls.

Not only the salary is high, the job is stable, but the status is also very high, which is a very ideal career.

It stands to reason that after the death of their parents, their children can go to work.

However, the original owner is the only son and mentally handicapped, unable to go to work.

So these two seats are vacant.

This made the birds in the courtyard greedy.

Many male workers' wives are from rural areas and have no jobs. If they can replace the original owner's parents, the family will have an extra income.

In this difficult time, a worker's salary of more than 20 yuan a month can support a family.

If you have two jobs, you can live a slightly richer life.

And there are still some older men and young men in the courtyard who have not found suitable jobs.

For example, the house next door to the original owner is Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of Yan Bugui, the third master of the front yard.

He just got married and married a new wife, Yu Li, but neither of them has a job.

Their family naturally wanted to compete for these two positions.

So for a while, the original owner became the treasure boy in the courtyard.

And Zhong Qin also knew that this piece of fat would be eaten by people sooner or later.

Whoever strikes first will own the meat, and no one is willing to hand over the fat to others.

Now Yi Zhonghai temporarily keeps the pension and food stamps of the original owner's parents in order to prevent the original owner from losing them.

But the meeting was held very late yesterday, and the birds didn't have a chance to come to the door.

But this morning they will definitely be like flies smelling meat, scrambling to come to the door, and gain benefits in the name of taking care of themselves.

Wang Ming felt helpless, how did he travel to this kind of world?

Poor, bitter and tired.

It is really troublesome to face such a group of strange neighbors.

Of course, since he's here, he won't let these beasts succeed.

The identity of being mentally retarded is very good, it can be used to hide one's stupidity, and he doesn't plan to show off that he is a person with normal intelligence for the time being.

Heh, the beasts want to take advantage of him?

It's time to see who takes advantage of whom.

【Ding!Host time travel is detected, and gifts are distributed to the time traveler]

[Obtain a super strong body, improve your physical fitness to 20 times that of ordinary people, and your body will become perfect]

[Obtaining god-level fighting skills, your fighting level has surpassed the peak of human beings by a large margin]

[Obtain a portable space with a size of 1 cubic kilometer. You can access items through your thoughts, and observe the internal situation through meditation]

[The time inside the space stops flowing, and the items are kept fresh forever]

[The host can enter the portable space for 5 minutes, and the time in the space flows normally]

[You can exit on your own, or you can exit after the time is over, you can only use this ability once a day]

As soon as the voice in his ear ended, Wang Ming felt a surge of power in his body.

He got a little taller, from 1.8 meters 1.8 to [-] meters [-].

The muscles on the body bulge, outlining the perfect lines.

Some of the scars and acne on the body disappeared, and the skin became smooth and fair.

The whole body is very healthy, the body is as light as a swallow, the spirit is invigorated, and the strength in the body is surging.

At the same time, there is a lot of knowledge in my mind, fighting skills, birth control and the use of portable space.

Wang Ming was secretly excited, is this his golden finger?
It's so cool, isn't it?Sure enough, there are benefits for those who travel through.

But is that all?
He secretly communicated, but did not receive any response, it seems that this is all cheating.

But it is enough, after all, he still has a large inheritance left by his parents.

He jumped off the bed with a front flip, landed firmly, and came to the mirror of the wardrobe.

The original owner looks just like him, very handsome, now that he has obtained a perfect body with no blemishes on his body, he is even more handsome.

It's just that it has a mushroom head, which looks silly.

And the original owner usually has a big snot and a silly smile on his face, he can imagine how stupid that is.

"I need to find a chance to change this hairstyle. A bald head looks better than this, and a mushroom head is really stupid." He said to himself in the mirror.

Then he came to the outhouse and saw some food such as rice noodles, oil and eggs.

This is all because of the death of my parents, and condolences from the factory, the street office, and some neighbors in the courtyard.

The neighbors who came to visit his house yesterday almost had green eyes when they saw the grain.

After all, this is a poor era, no one has so much food, let alone fine grain.

Wang Ming put most of the food and supplies into the portable space.

Mainly to prevent thieves, but also to avoid damage.

Then he came to the back room, and according to the original owner's memory, he found his parents' savings and a large pile of tickets under the bed.

The money totaled more than 300 yuan, which was saved by his parents over the years.

In this era, a worker's salary of more than 20 yuan a month can support a family.

More than 300 yuan is obviously a huge sum of money. If the beasts in the yard knew about it, they would definitely try their best to get the money.

As for tickets, they are shopping vouchers such as food stamps, meat tickets, and oil tickets.

In this impoverished age, materials are in short supply, and things cannot be bought with money, and corresponding tickets are required.

Of course, you can buy things in the black market without a ticket, but it will be more expensive.

Wang Ming also collected the money and tickets, and put them in the portable space.

And thinking about how to get back the 1000 yuan and a lot of bills that Yi Zhonghai kept.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Xiao Ming, are you awake?"

As soon as the words were finished, the woman pushed the door open, after all the door was not closed.

Wang Ming took a closer look and saw that she was a beautiful young woman with a plump figure and well-proportioned bumps.

A pair of peach blossom eyes are watery, the plump red lips are slightly raised, and the smile is like a flower.

Wearing floral short-sleeves, black trousers, and black cloth shoes, she is very plain, but it is hard to hide her natural charm.

Isn't this Qin Huairu, the widow of Qin in the courtyard?

But now her husband Jia Dongxu is not dead, she is not a widow.

But the purpose of her coming is obvious. It's only [-] o'clock in the morning, and she came to Wang Ming's house.

I'm afraid she came here to reap the benefits at the behest of her mother-in-law Jia Zhang and her husband Jia Dongxu.

Wang Ming laughed secretly, and the profit was taken on his old Wang's head.

He couldn't be sorry for his last name.

So he immediately put on a dull look, stared blankly at Qin Huairu, and asked, "Sister Huairu? Why did you come to my house?"
