Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 538

"Where is this?"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Li Weidong suspiciously.

Are you going to be a guest at someone else's house?

"This is the home of a friend of mine, but now I have rented the entire front yard."

Li Weidong didn't hide anything and explained directly.

"Rent it?"

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes widened.

Although she is a bit naive sometimes, she has an above-average IQ and is definitely not stupid.

The two are about to get engaged, but Li Weidong is renting a house outside. Is it possible that he plans to move out of home in the future?

But hasn’t his house been tidied up?
And the last time I went to the courtyard, Li Weidong's mother also said that the north room was reserved for the two of them to live in after they got married.

Is it possible that Li Weidong is unwilling?
She didn't feel any grievance at all, and there were so many people in the courtyard, so to be honest, she quite liked it.

"Yes, let's talk first."

Although Li Weidong didn't have a key, he had learned how to do it during the prison training, so the door lock in front of him couldn't stop him at all. Zhou Xiaobai didn't even see how he opened the door, and the door opened.

I even subconsciously thought that Li Weidong opened the door with the key.

Full of confusion, Zhou Xiaobai followed Li Weidong into the front yard.

At this time, the ground had already been cleaned, and after stepping over the screen wall, the eyes suddenly opened up.

The shack that was originally built has now been completely cleaned up, and all the dilapidated marks that were seen before have been repaired, restoring the original appearance to the greatest extent possible.

As a result, the yard looks very open, and two pomegranate trees were even planted. The ground was re-paved, and the walls were painted. It can be seen that Zhang Yunshang obviously put his heart into it.

Even tidying up the yard like this doesn't cost much.

The treasures that Zhang Yunshang had hidden at home were passively donated, and all the valuables at home were also confiscated, but this does not mean that he has become a pauper. An old man like him is well versed in the principle of a cunning rabbit's three burrows, so he keeps his secrets outside. Hidden something.

A little selling would be enough for him to have food and clothing.

What's more, Zhang Yun still has children. Since the last incident, his children have rushed back. They all have serious jobs and are basically not short of money.

"How about it?"

After looking around, Li Weidong looked at Zhou Xiaobai and asked.

"it's beautiful."

Zhou Xiaobai said sincerely.

Although the size of this courtyard house is not comparable to the one where Li Weidong lives now, in terms of exquisiteness and beauty, it is far superior to that one.

What's more, the entire front yard is now empty, and the three north rooms, the east and west wing rooms, and the reverse room are all available.

Zhou Xiaobai grew up in the south, and his family was wealthy. When he was a child, his family's house was much larger than this, but the characteristic of that house was the garden, which was of two different types than the courtyard in front of him.

After arriving in the capital, the Zhou family lived in a small foreign-style building, which made countless people envious.

But this does not prevent Zhou Xiaobai from liking this more down-to-earth courtyard house.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaobai looked at Li Weidong seriously.

"I'll give you the key later. Then you can bring your aunt over to have a look. If it looks suitable, you can move here."

Li Weidong said.

"Move here? My house?"

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes widened and he didn't turn around for a while.

At first she thought that Li Weidong rented the house here and would keep it for himself in the future and move out of the previous courtyard, but she never expected that he would ask her family to move here.

What does it mean?
"Yes, your small western-style building is a bit conspicuous and easy to attract wind. It is quiet here, hidden in an alley, and does not attract anyone's attention. It is also a house rented in my name. The landlord is in the backyard. I have rescued him before. Feel free to live here.”

Li Weidong didn't say too much. After all, many things have not happened yet. Who can predict it?

If we wait until then to move out, it will be too late.

Especially when he went to Quanjude for lunch at noon, Li Weidong vaguely remembered that even if there was no preservation there, the name Quanjude was changed to Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant, the precious antique calligraphy and paintings hanging inside, and the century-old signboard at the door , all burned to the ground.

Even Quanjude is like this, let alone the small Western-style building.

It was a mistake in itself that it was built there.

Not to mention that the Zhou family's identity in the early years could not be cleaned at all. Even if an ordinary family lived there, they would be kicked out.

Therefore, if you really wait two years before moving, it will be completely too late.

Now for two years, if someone else lives in the small western-style building later, it will be enough for people to forget about the Zhou family.

In particular, Zhou Xiaobai's uncle has completely retired. As time goes by, his influence will only become less and less. It may even happen to Zhou Xiaobai's uncle that something unexpected happens and he will not care about Zhou Xiaobai's family at all.

Therefore, Li Weidong did this without planning.

"Will it affect you?"

Zhou Xiaobai thought for a while and asked in a low voice, with a little worry in his expression.

She knew that her family's financial foundation was not very good. Even though all her property had been handed over over the years, there were still people who looked at her family with colored eyes.

She had a deep understanding of this when she was in school.

Now, the two families have met and the marriage has been decided, which means that the two families are tied together, and Li Weidonggen is Hongmiaozheng, he is already the deputy captain at a young age, and his future is limitless.

Even though she didn't know this herself, her father told her about it when she went home.

Therefore, when Li Weidong said that her small foreign-style building was more eye-catching, she instinctively thought that it would implicate Li Weidong.

"No, I'll tell you secretly, I have already received four first-class merits. How could this matter about your family affect me? I can't tell you the specific reason why you moved your family out, but I'm sure I did this. It makes sense, you might as well go home and tell Uncle Zhou."

In order to calm Zhou Xiaobai's worries, Li Weidong still revealed some details.

Not to mention that the Zhou family is fine now, even if something happens in the future, it won't be able to implicate him.

His four first-class merits were all real. Although he was promoted too quickly, they were all in compliance with the regulations and belonged to special cases. No matter who came to see his shining achievements, they would not be able to say anything wrong. Words come.

"Four first-class merit?"

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes widened. Although she had known for a long time that Li Weidong was more powerful, otherwise he would not have been the deputy captain, but on the surface, Li Weidong only had first-class merit.

But thinking that Li Weidong was sometimes mysterious, a certain guess flashed in her mind.

So after the shock, there is worry.

Even a three-year-old child knows how difficult it is to get first-class merit.

Naturally, Li Weidong's four first-class merits were definitely not obtained by sitting in an office. Secretly, he didn't know how much he paid and how many risks he took.

"You..." Thinking of Li Weidong secretly working hard and facing many dangers, but he knew nothing about it, Zhou Xiaobai felt a little distressed and even more guilty.

It seems that I have never fulfilled my responsibility as a girlfriend.

Usually it is Li Weidong who goes to find her.

Especially after becoming the instructor of the women's farm, I became even busier and focused on my work.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Weidong had already won four first-class merit awards.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai felt both guilty and proud.

Some people said before that Li Weidong mainly fell in love with Xu Wen, the former captain of the prison, so he became the deputy captain at a young age. Even though Li Weidong had a first-class merit, some people still refused to accept it and thought that Li Weidong was just unlucky. Or simply it was the captain who helped me get first-class merit.

Someone even quietly wrote a letter to report Li Weidong, but it didn't cause any splash.

But now, four first-class skills are enough to defeat all rumors.

"Don't worry, these first-class merits of mine are not obtained by fighting people on the battlefield, but mainly by solving crimes, so they are not as dangerous as you think."

Li Weidong naturally knew what Zhou Xiaobai was worried about, so he comforted her.

"In addition, due to some reasons, the other three first-class merits are not suitable to be disclosed. You know it yourself, and you can tell your uncles and aunts when you go home, but don't tell others. We just know it ourselves.

Regarding moving here, you can discuss it with your uncle and aunt for the future. Even if you are not satisfied here, you can find another place. "

"Ok, I know."

Zhou Xiaobai nodded heavily.

"Hey, I heard someone talking in the backyard, and I thought I heard it wrong."

At this moment, a figure stepped in from the door, it was Zhang Yunshang.

After such a long period of recuperation, Zhang Yunshang's body has basically recovered. The main reason is that he has not suffered much in his early years and has a relatively good foundation. Therefore, although he suffered a crime, if he is not short of money, he can arrange ginseng and other things. It's also neat.

"Xiaobai, let me introduce to you. This is the owner of the yard, Zhang Yunshang. You can call him Uncle Zhang. This is my partner, Zhou Xiaobai."

Li Weidong introduced the two of them.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

"Hey, Comrade Xiaobai, how about you too."

Zhang Yunshang responded with a smile on his face.

Li Weidong rented the front yard with him at the beginning. Although he didn't say that he would move here, Zhang Yunshang still thought about it. So when his health got a little better, he found someone to start cleaning up the house and restore it to its original appearance as much as possible.

This house was originally built by a famous family and is a rare high-quality courtyard house. However, in recent years, the front yard has been damaged a lot by that family. Not to mention the random construction, cooking fires, and smoky fires. It's burning, and there's a lot of noise.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Yunshang can restore it to its original appearance, this front yard will be enough.

At the beginning, he wanted to treat Li Weidong to dinner and let his children thank Li Weidong, so that even if he died one day, his children could help him repay his kindness.

But then he thought about it and decided to postpone it because he wanted to repair the front yard so that Li Weidong could see the real front yard and maybe move here directly.

Although giving the house to Li Weidong was far from enough to repay the kindness, it would at least make him feel better.

Furthermore, he also had some selfish motives. If Li Weidong lived here, things like last time would never happen.

In this way, after a period of repairs, it was finally restored to its original appearance, and it was clean and refreshing inside.

But it's not over yet, he is still preparing another gift later.

It was a complete set of rosewood furniture that I had mentioned to Li Weidong.

After all, a good house must be equipped with good furniture.

When Li Weidong exchanged the large rosewood bed with him, he could tell that Li Weidong really liked this kind of furniture.

Later, he proposed the complete set of rosewood furniture, and the other party was obviously moved.

But many things happened after that, which delayed that matter.

At present, Zhang Yunshang is quietly working on repaying Li Weidong, and the talks are almost over.

Therefore, what he thought was that after he got the set of furniture and placed it all in this house, he would invite Li Weidong over and entertain Li Weidong well in the front yard.

Maybe Li Weidong will move here in the future.

But he didn't expect that if something happened to him, Li Weidong would come to the door with his partner.

According to Zhang Yunshang's judgment, since Li Weidong brought his partner here, he must have looked at the environment here and made plans to move here.

Maybe something good is coming, and I will use this place as a wedding room in the future.

This naturally made him happy.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied with the tidying up? It's just that time is too tight, otherwise it would definitely be more beautiful. Come, I will show you two around."

After Zhang Yunshang said hello, he led the two of them around.

Because time is too short, and Zhang Yunshang is still planning a complete set of rosewood furniture, there is almost nothing in the house now. The floor is not plastered with cement, but with old-fashioned gray floor tiles.

The walls were scraped white, the wooden beams on the top of the head were replaced, and the varnish was painted again. Although it smelled a bit, it was unusually harmonious with the overall style.

Even the chandeliers are in that antique style.

If you add some Ming and Qing style furniture, it will definitely take it to a higher level.

For Zhou Xiaobai, who is used to living in small foreign-style buildings, everything here is novel.

The east wing will be empty now, while the west wing has been converted into a kitchen. As for the reverse room, there are a total of two rooms, one has been converted into a toilet, one has been converted into a bathroom, and the other is empty and can be used as a storage space. material.

It can be seen that Zhang Yunshang obviously put a lot of thought into tidying up the house. The main style is naturally Chinese style, because it can be seen from Li Weidong's interest in rosewood furniture that he likes this style.

At the same time, bathrooms and toilets are also convenient, so you don’t have to queue for public toilets in the alley.

It is only because the front yard has a large space, many houses, and few people living there that we can carry out such unscrupulous renovations.

Under normal circumstances, there must be at least four or five families living in this front yard, like the previous one, that is, there are many people, the old men and women from both families are here, brothers and sisters, all living in one yard, split When opened, it is enough to hold four or five households.

There is no room for so many people to live in, so they have to squeeze in. There is no room for renovation, otherwise they would not build a house in the yard.

There are only a few people living in a front yard like this, not to mention the only one, but they are definitely a minority among the minority.

It was Li Weidong who said hello to the subdistrict office and rented here. Otherwise, even if the head of the household was Zhang Yunshang, he would have to obey the subdistrict office's arrangements and obediently give up the front yard.

If it weren't for Li Weidong's inconvenient identity, the transfer of ownership would still leave hidden dangers. Zhang Yunshang would have wanted to give the front yard directly to Li Weidong.

Even now, in Zhang Yunshang's mind, it is nominally for rent, but he has long regarded the front yard as belonging to Li Weidong.

Otherwise he wouldn't be so concerned.

After looking at the house, Zhou Xiaobai was obviously more moved, but she couldn't decide this matter. She had to go home and express Li Weidong's opinion.
