Ye Chen had clearly left this courtyard that was filled with the smell of humans and birds, but he did not feel relieved at all.
Looking around, everyone looked like they were watching a show.
Ye Chen smiled inexplicably. He did not know if he was mocking himself or mocking these people who had been polished by life and had no humanity at all!
"Little Xin, let's go and take a look at our new home.”
Holding the girl's hand, Ye Chen followed Team Leader Sun out of the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and a few busybodies in the courtyard also followed.
Just as Team Leader Sun had said, they arrived at the new courtyard after turning the corner.
It was still gray walls and green tiles.
The moment he entered, he smelled the smell of oil smoke.
At this time, the residents in the courtyard were basically cooking.
There were only a few children playing outside.
"Ye Jiaxin?"
Ye Chen had just led Little Xin into the front yard when a girl in a checkered dress suddenly ran over.
Judging from the situation, the two of them should know each other. They were most likely classmates.
"Su Meng? Why are you in this courtyard?"
"Who is it?"
Ye Chen lost his composure when he heard the name Little Xin mentioned.
Then, he widened his eyes and carefully sized up the girl who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Su Meng?
Wasn't this the world of Love in the Courtyard? Why did Su Meng suddenly appear?
Ye Chen was wondering if they had the same name when two boys of similar age ran over.
"Eh? Ye Jiaxin? Why are you here?"
"Han Chunming? Cheng Jianjun? You all live here?"
Got it.
When Ye Chen heard their names, the last bit of hope in his heart was gone.
Han Chunming, Cheng Jianjun, and Su Meng.
When the college entrance examination resumed in 1977, Han Chunming had just ended his life as an educated youth.
Counting the time, the few of them were indeed about the same age as Little Xin.
But shouldn't they live near Zhengyang Gate?
Why did he move to Nanluogu Alley?
Ye Chen could only blame it on the butterfly effect.
This was also a three-door courtyard house, but there were not as many residents as the next door, so there was not much trouble.
"Yo, Team Leader Sun, what's wrong?”
A middle-aged man in a singlet and slippers walked over.
"Old Guo, it's good that you're here. This is the new resident of your courtyard, Ye Chen. I'll have to trouble you to bring him around. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first.”
"Ye Chen, you'll be a resident of this courtyard from now on. Put away your previous thoughts and move in tomorrow at the latest.”
After a few reminders, Team Leader Sun left the courtyard.
He had been running back and forth for the past two days because of this matter. He was in a hurry to report his work so that he could get off work early.
Ye Chen was curiously sizing up the middle-aged man in front of him.
From the way Team Leader Sun addressed him, this should be the Uncle Guo in the front yard who was cheated by Cheng Jianjun during the collection craze.
"You're Ye Chen?"
Knowing that he had a bad reputation, Uncle Guo didn't give him a good look.
"I'm Ye Chen."
"Follow me."
After saying this indifferently, he walked unsteadily towards the middle court.
"Yo, Uncle Guo, this is?"
The middle court was obviously much livelier. Many people were choosing vegetables by the pond.
Seeing that Uncle Guo had brought in a stranger, the courtyard began to chatter.
"He's Jordan. He'll be a resident of the courtyard in the future.”
"Ye Chen?"
Hearing this name, the surrounding discussions immediately quieted down.
Nanluogu Alley had courtyards next to each other. If there was any movement, everyone would know very quickly.
Everyone had been talking about Ye Chen's expulsion from the Siheyuan for stealing chickens.
Now that this thief had entered their courtyard, many residents had objections.
However, this was the arrangement of the street office. It would not matter if someone objected.
"So you're Jordan. We'll be neighbors from now on. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know.”
Seeing that someone had stood up for him, Ye Chen took a few more glances at this person.
The other party was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She looked a little wealthy.
"This is Chunming's mother. You can call her sister-in-law Han. I'll introduce you to the family first.”
"Sister-in-law Han?"
If there was anyone in the neighboring courtyard who could be considered reasonable, it would be the deaf old lady.
There were not many people here that Ye Chen could remember. Chunming's mother was one of them.
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
She was also raising so many children by herself.
No matter how poor he was, he didn't forget his roots and raised a great collector.
Qin Huairu could only raise a whole family of vampires and ingrates.
After greeting him, Jordan followed Uncle Guo into the backyard.
The new house was about the same size as the previous one. The street office also allocated the living quarters according to the size marked on the house book.
It was obvious that someone had cleaned the room. There was not a trace of dust on the windowsill.
"Stop looking. Chunming's mother cleaned it for you. Move the furniture over as soon as possible. In the future, behave yourself in the courtyard and remember!”
Uncle Guo warned Ye Chen and then paced toward the front yard.
Other than Chunming's mother, these people weren't very friendly.
However, Ye Chen only remembered the first half of Uncle Guo's words.
The warning to him naturally went in one ear and out the other.
"Little Xin, this will be our new home in the future.”
"Brother, can I play with Su Meng in the future?”
The girl widened her eyes in anticipation.
It was only then that Ye Chen realized that Little Xin was only six years old. It was the age where she needed a playmate.
In the past, in the neighboring courtyard, the only person of similar age was Little Dang.
Ye Chen did not dare to let Lil 'Xin mix around with these ingrates.
Although Su Meng was a pretentious person, it would be ten years later.
They had played together when they were young. Naturally, Ye Chen would not interfere.
"Of course, but that Cheng Jianjun and Xiao Xin have to stay away from him.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
......
There was not much furniture in the old house.
Ye Chen spent fifty cents to rent a handcart from Uncle Guo in the front courtyard.
Before the sun set, they moved all the furniture that could still be used to their new home.
During this time, dozens of people from the ten-odd households in the courtyard watched Ye Chen leave the house.
No one came forward to help, even though they knew that he didn't steal the chicken.
Xu Damao came back drunk from outside and happened to see this "satisfying" scene.
They had just heard that Silly Zhu had been sentenced to half a year in prison, and this eyesore had been chased out again.
When the alcohol kicked in, he couldn't control his mouth.
"Hey, isn't this Ye Chen? Why, did he move out just like that? You even dared to steal my chicken. Do you see that? This is the outcome of provoking me, Xu Damao!”
"Heh, he deserves it!"
Jia Zhangshi also helped to speak up.
She had no other abilities, but no one could compare to her ability to stir up trouble.
"Mom, let's talk less."
Since she was in the wrong, Qin Huairu naturally did not wish for her mother-in-law to do such a thing in front of others.
Of course, it was not out of sympathy.
It was really too easy for people to roll their eyes at him.
After all, their family would have to rely on acting pitiful to survive in the future.
Ye Chen sneered as he looked at Xu Damao, who was beaming with success.
There was a saying that the heavens were right and retribution was not good.
When a villain gets what he wants, he'll go wild.
Ye Chen wanted to see how long they could be arrogant!
Kneel to the evaluation votes!
