Returning to the Courtyard After the New Year, the Dispirited Birds
After a week, Chen Yi finally returned.
The weather was good on the fourth day of the lunar new year. There was sunshine, and every household in the courtyard basically moved a stool and gathered in the courtyard to bask in the sun and chat.
In the front yard.
Originally, these people were chatting casually.
However, when Chen Yi entered, everyone immediately quieted down and looked at him with different gazes.
Because he refused to participate in the group gathering in the quad, he gave people a feeling that he did not fit in.
Especially Third Uncle, because Chen Yi had refused to treat him before the New Year and did not allow him to write couplets.
Therefore, when he saw Chen Yi, he raised his head and looked down on him.
But unfortunately.
He was putting on a pretense, and he was completely acting. Chen Yi walked with his head lowered, not even looking at the people in the front yard.
At this time, there were many people gathered in the middle court.
Since Chen Yi and Xu Damao's families were not around, the backyard seemed too deserted. Therefore, Second Uncle Liu Haizhong's entire family and the Deaf Old Lady came to the middle court to join in the fun.
Aunty One and Aunty Two held their heads, and the deaf old lady echoed. They brought Qin Huairu and the other women along and chatted with each other.
But in fact, everyone was not very excited.
Qin Huairu's son was still in the detention center. During the New Year, the factory would close down on salaries. Her family had just finished the New Year and was about to run out of money.
Therefore, her mood was naturally not very high.
Because a few days ago, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, Silly Zhu wanted to go to the deaf old lady's house to celebrate the New Year, and was scolded by Liang Ladi. But this time, he was " tough " and directly slammed the door and left.
As a result, the couple had been in a cold war during the Spring Festival.
Speaking of which, every time the two of them quarreled, they would shout for a divorce.
But in fact, whether it was Silly Zhu or Liang Ladie, neither of them was willing to really divorce.
Silly Zhu still had the same thought. He had limited resources now and had spent so much money. He could only walk down the dark path.
Liang Ladi had similar thoughts. She was a woman with four children and five mouths to feed. How could she find a new sucker to take over?
Moreover, Silly Zhu had a job and the children at home were really good at talking. After two months of looking after the children, they had obviously gained weight.
Therefore, even though both sides had a lot of opinions about the other side, they could only continue to live together. At most, they would just continue to have a cold war...
As for Yi Zhonghai, it was unknown if he was scheming against people every day, causing him to overuse his brain.
After a year, he looked even more haggard.
……
When Chen Yi passed by the middle court, he was still the same as before. He looked straight ahead and wanted to pass through it.
But suddenly…
"Chen Yi!"
For some reason, Yi Zhonghai, who had sharp eyes, called out to him.
"Where did you spend the Spring Festival?”
Chen Yi's family had only one heir for three generations. His mother had fled from the war and lived in the city, so he did not have any relatives.
Yi Zhonghai, as the first boss of the courtyard, had a basic understanding of the backgrounds of the residents in the courtyard.
Therefore, he really couldn't figure out where Chen Yi could have gone if he hadn't stayed in the courtyard for the New Year.
"What does it have to do with you where we go for the New Year?”
"You're quite a busybody!"
Chen Yi did not forget that this old thing had tried to make things difficult for him during the grade examination. With the new and old grudges overlapping, he did not hold back in his words.
"You…"
Yi Zhonghai had wanted to pretend to care about Chen Yi to repair the tense relationship between the two.
Yi Zhonghai had thought about it carefully during the days when he was not working.
In the end, he came to a conclusion that made him very uncomfortable.
In this courtyard, he wanted to choose another person to support him in his old age. The most suitable person was Chen Yi.
Although the child's parents were gone, as a worker, the house he was assigned to in the factory was still there. Moreover, he had passed the assessment before the new year and was promoted to a Level 5 worker.
His family's current situation might be a little worse, but with his current salary level, his family would only be able to make a comeback in the next one or two years.
Under such circumstances, no matter how uncomfortable it was, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to put down his old face and try to fight for it.
"Chen Yi, why are you talking to Master One like that? Do you have any respect for your elders and leaders?”
Previously, Liu Haizhong had hated Chen Yi because Chen Yi ate so much at home every day.
Now, he was being so rude to First Uncle.
He immediately said that he wanted to form an alliance with First Master and teach Chen Yi a lesson.
As an official fan, Liu Haizhong had always liked to form cliques for personal gain.
"Ahem, no worries."
" He's a young man after all. It's understandable that his way of speaking is a little 'special'…"
Who would have thought?
Yi Zhonghai actually waved his hand and directly dispelled Second Uncle's thoughts of putting on a false front.
"Chen Yi, you misunderstood."
"I'm not here to check the household registration. The question is actually a concern for the residents of the quad. This is my responsibility as the First Master.”
Yi Zhonghai did not get angry at Chen Yi's rudeness. Instead, he tried his best to maintain a pleasant expression and explained to him in a low voice.
Chen Yi gave him a strange look, but he didn't say anything and went straight back to the backyard.
He didn't know what Yi Zhonghai was up to, but it had nothing to do with him anyway, so he just ignored it.
The deaf old lady behind him looked at Chen Yi's back and poked her walking stick on the ground twice.
"Hmph, unfilial! Unfilial!"
"How can there be such an unfilial person in this courtyard? He should be chased out!”
However, although she was facing Chen Yi, her small eyes unconsciously drifted in the direction of Shazhu's house.
Over there.
Silly Zhu, who had a sullen and worried expression, was sitting with Liang Ladi, whose face was as dark as water. The two of them were sitting with their backs facing each other. They were sunbathing while supervising the children to do their homework.
He didn't know if the Deaf Old Lady's words had a hidden meaning.
Perhaps she was pointing at the mulberry and scolding the locust, or perhaps she wanted to scold both of them!
But unfortunately.
Whether it was First Uncle or Second Uncle, no one took her words seriously.
Although the deaf old lady was old and had once made straw sandals for the Red Army, she was very " respected " in this courtyard.
However, it was obvious that some of her thoughts were still too old-fashioned.
As a worker, Chen Yi's house was also given by the state. How could he be driven away just like that?
Not to mention these elders, even the street director Wang couldn't do it…
"Sigh, I should find an opportunity to get to know him alone…"
Yi Zhonghai looked at Chen Yi, who had already left, and felt a little melancholic.
He had never thought that he would offend Chen Yi in order to help Silly Zhu get a partner.
However, as time passed, his target could only be Chen Yi.
This was a headache…
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu was also glancing in the direction of Chen Yi's house from time to time.
Moreover…
When she and her mother-in-law Jia Zhangshi looked at each other, their eyes flickered. It seemed that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had some unspeakable plan.
