"Jianjun, you're back!"
As soon as she entered the door, the third aunt in the front yard heard the voice of the aunt in the alley. As soon as she came out, she saw Chen Jianjun entering the door and immediately greeted him warmly,
"It's been a few years. Has Jianjun finished university?”
Jianjun Chen smiled and nodded.""Third Aunt, you haven't changed much in the past few years. You're still so young!”
In fact, in the past few years, Chen Jianjun hadn't changed much, and he had grown up in the courtyard.
Therefore, he recognized her immediately.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Why didn't you send a letter to your Third Uncle in advance so that I could go over and help you tidy up the house first? That house hasn't been lived in for a few years.”Third Aunt said enthusiastically.
In the courtyard, if there was any family that the Chen family had a good relationship with, it would be the Third Master's family in the front yard.
Of course, their relationship was only good when compared to the other main residents in the courtyard.
The Third Master, Yan Bugui, was a very sneaky person. He was a primary school language teacher. He liked to chew on words and even liked to calculate. He was quite stingy in life.
When he had nothing to do, he would be clever and do some small schemes.
He especially liked to scheme against others and his own children. He even had to pay for a meal.
He always liked to take advantage of others.
But in Chen Jianjun's view, this kind of problem was not too big of a problem.
In modern society, famine had long since passed, but there were still people who were extremely stingy and liked to take advantage of others.
In the current famine, it was not uncommon for people to starve to death. There were many people who did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes.
Yan Bugui was only a primary school teacher. His monthly salary was only 37.5 yuan. He had to feed four children and his family of six. All the food and clothing were on Yan Bugui alone.
Other than taking advantage of others, Yan Bugui didn't have any major problems with his principles.
Compared to the other people in the courtyard, he was at least taller than the others.
When the Chen Family moved over, Yan Bugui did not have a bad relationship with the Chen Family. The entire Chen Family was loyal, and there were only orphans and widows left. Usually, if there was anything in the courtyard, they would help out.
When Mother Chen was seriously ill, Chen Jianjun could only come back to take care of her after school every day. Most of the time, Third Aunt would help take care of her.
Even when Third Aunt went to help take care of Mother Chen at that time, it was still a bit of an advantage. After cooking lunch, she took care of Mother Chen and took the leftovers home.
However, in the courtyard, only Third Master's family was willing to lend a helping hand.
At that time, if it weren't for Third Uncle's family, Chen Jianjun would have stopped his studies and returned home to take care of his mother full-time.
However, Mother Chen refused to let Chen Jianjun drop out of school and threatened him with death.
Therefore, Chen Jianjun didn't have any bad feelings towards Third Uncle's family. Instead, he had a good impression of them.
Having someone to take care of his seriously ill mother also allowed him to continue his studies.
After entering the Siheyuan, they passed through the first courtyard and the drooping flower gate. Hu Yang also entered the front courtyard.
There were three other families in the first courtyard, but they didn't have much interaction with the Chen family.
In the front yard, other than Third Uncle's family, there were also six other families living there. However, they were all extras in television dramas who didn't even have any lines.
Chen Jianjun, who had transmigrated, also knew one thing. A TV series was a TV series, but in the real world, there were no protagonists or extras. They were all living people.
The people in the courtyard were mostly workers of the rolling mill.
It was a Sunday, and every house in the yard had people.
The loud voice in the alley had already alarmed the residents in the courtyard house.
As soon as Chen Jianjun entered, everyone greeted him.
Chen Jianjun also nodded and greeted everyone. He didn't see Yan Bugui, so he asked Third Aunt,""Third Aunt, did Third Uncle go fishing again?”
"That's right. He went out with the fishing rod and two cornbread before dawn. I don't know when he'll be back.”Third Aunt said.
"When Third Uncle comes back, ask him to come over for a drink tonight. I'll go back and tidy up the house first!" said Chen Jianjun. Otherwise, we won't have a place to stay today!"
Third Aunt heard this and nodded happily. Although Chen Jianjun only invited Third Uncle, the family could save one person's meal tonight.
It was said that husband and wife looked alike. Living together with Yan Bugui, Third Aunt had learned to be a little scheming and liked to take advantage of others.
Chen Jianjun didn't stay in the front yard. After passing through the front yard and the middle yard, he came to the middle yard. In the middle of the middle yard was a huge yard. There was a tap in the yard, which was where everyone washed their clothes.
It was also the venue for the council's meetings and gatherings.
The east wing of the middle courtyard was Yi Zhonghai's house, and the side wing was He Yuzhu's sister's house.
The Jia family was in the west wing room opposite.
The main hall of the middle court was He Yuzhu's home. There was another side room to the east, and there was also a family.
On the west side of He Yuzhu's house was the moon gate that led to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chen Jianjun saw a charming woman washing clothes.
This was the white lotus, Qin Huairu.
Of course, Qin Huiru's husband, Jia Dongxu, was still fine, and Qin Huiru had yet to become a white lotus.
Moreover, with her husband's support, and five years earlier than the start of the plot, Qin Huairu was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Be it her looks or charm, she was at her peak.
Even the experienced and knowledgeable Chen Jianjun couldn't help but take a few more glances at Qin Huairu, whom he hadn't seen for many years.
However, it was only two glances before Chen Jianjun looked away.
On the other hand, Qin Huairu's gaze had not left Chen Jianjun since he entered.
As a man, Chen Jianjun was undoubtedly the envy of countless men. He was tall and handsome. In modern times, he would be a male god. His appearance was super good.
"My eyeballs fell out!" A discordant voice was heard. It was Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting at the door and putting in the soles of her shoes. When she saw her daughter-in-law staring at Chen Jianjun, Jia Zhangshi said viciously.
When Qin Huairu heard this, she immediately lowered her head and focused on washing the clothes.
Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting at the door, glared at Chen Jianjun. Her face was very ugly and somewhat gloomy.
Chen Jianjun ignored Jia Zhangshi and was about to head straight to the backyard when Yi Zhonghai walked out of his house. When he saw Chen Jianjun, his face was a little stiff, and his tone was a little unnatural as he greeted,""Jianjun, why did you suddenly come back? You didn't tell me in advance.”
Chen Jianjun didn't reply. He just nodded at Yi Zhonghai, but he was also thinking about it.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's unnatural expression, Chen Jianjun felt that something was wrong.
He had been away for four years. He reckoned that something had happened in the courtyard, and it was very likely to be related to him.
However, Chen Jianjun quickly put this matter aside. With these beasts in the courtyard, no matter what happened, he didn't find it strange.
