Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

When I saw Liang Lawei on the street, he was standing at the door of the house with a reserved look on his face, and there was no trace of the boldness he showed for his children in the TV series.

When he saw Secretary Li and Wang Dong walking towards him, a look of shock flashed across his face. He didn't expect that the landlord who was about to rent his house was so young.

He hurried over and said, "Director Li... this comrade must be the owner of the house..."

Secretary Li nodded and said, "Comrade Liang Lazhi, Director Wang is not only the owner of the house, he also lives in the east wing of the front yard of the quadrangle. He is also the kitchen director of your steel mill. He is young and promising."

"If you rent his house, you and Director Wang will have an additional neighbor relationship..."

"I have just introduced your situation to Director Wang on the way. Director Wang is very satisfied with your character and agrees to rent the house to you."

"The rent is five dollars a month, you can pay it annually or monthly..."

"If you have no objections to each other, you can sign the agreement now in front of the street witness and move into the courtyard tomorrow."

Wang Dong answered readily: "I have no objection."

Liang Lazhi had even less objection. Wang Dong was the director of the steel mill's kitchen and a real cadre. He would definitely not scheme against an ordinary worker like him.

Moreover, the main house in the central courtyard is really big, bigger than the two rooms in many wing rooms of the quadrangle courtyard. It is easy to separate it into four rooms. If you are willing to spend money, you can divide the main house into two floors, and then separate it into four attics.

For such a big house, Wang Dong only needs five dollars in rent every month, which is a profit no matter how you analyze it.

Liang Layi nodded quickly: "Secretary Li, I have no objection either..."

…………

The next day was a public holiday, and almost everyone in the courtyard stayed at home to rest, including Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

But in order to avoid further twists and turns between the two, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu did not speak to each other for a long time, even though the two families were face-to-face neighbors.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a cart suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, piled with boxes and various daily necessities.

Liang Lawei followed the cart with a few children.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Hou Liang Laxian did not move things rashly. Instead, after giving a few instructions to the cart driver, he entered the courtyard alone to find Wang Dong.

As soon as Wang Dong saw Liang Lawei, he knew what he wanted to do. Without further ado, he said to Tang Dashan, "Dashan, is there anything? Come out and help Comrade Liang Lawei move..."

Seeing a neighbor standing nearby watching the fun, Wang Dong continued, "Sister Wang..."

"Please go to the backyard and call He Yuzhu and tell him that I have something to ask him."

In Wang Dong's eyes, Liang Lazhi is definitely a widow who is ten times better than Qin Huairu. If the two of them can really become a family in the end, He Yuzhu's life trajectory will definitely be changed.

So she decided to start creating opportunities for them to be together from now on.

He Yuzhu was bored staying at home alone. When he heard Wang Dong asking someone to ask him to go to the front yard, he immediately rushed out of the house and closed the door.

After recalling this period of time and following Yan Fugui's analysis, he increasingly believed that Wang Dong was one of the few people in the entire courtyard who had not plotted against him, and he unknowingly became closer to Wang Dong.

Plus, Wang Dong was his creditor, so as soon as he heard Wang Dong's call, he rushed to the front yard to help.

"Master... why are you moving..." Tang Dashan looked at the unfamiliar face of Liang Lawei and asked in confusion. He Yuzhu rushed into the front yard and saw Liang Lawei standing in the middle of the yard.

And then their eyes never left each other.

Whether in terms of temperament, appearance or figure, Liang Lazhi can beat Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but be amazed.

Wang Dong was afraid that Liang Lawei would be scared away by He Yuzhu's aggressive gaze, so he quickly reminded her: "Master He..."

"Don't scare people..."

"Let me introduce you: this is Comrade Liang Lawei. She is currently single, but has four children with her ex-husband. She has just been transferred to the steel mill as a welder. From today on, she will officially move into the main house in the middle courtyard of our quadrangle."

"Don't underestimate Comrade Liang Lawei. Although she is a female comrade, she worked hard to pass the fifth-level welder assessment in order to support her children. She is the only high-level female welder in our steel mill."

He Yuzhu was very excited when he first saw Liang Lawei.

After hearing Wang Dong say that she was a widow with four children, perhaps because he was scared by Qin Huairu, the excitement on his face disappeared completely in an instant, and he behaved particularly coldly.

Tang Dashan had no other thoughts and only regarded Liang Lazhi as a neighbor and co-worker. He did not react at all after listening to Wang Dong's introduction.

Liang Lazhi was keenly aware of He Yuzhu's different reactions before and after, and didn't understand why.

But she didn't say much.

After all, it was the first time for everyone to meet and no one knew each other.

After I officially move into the courtyard and get along with them for a long time, I will naturally get to know the personality and style of each neighbor in the courtyard, and maybe I will be able to figure out the reason for He Yuzhu's different attitudes towards me.

Wang Dong also noticed He Yuzhu's reactions. He was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was very happy.

The more he fears the widow, the more Qin Huairu has hurt him, the smaller the chance of reconciling with Qin Huairu in the future, and the higher his chance of success in changing He Yuzhu's fate.

He continued to introduce Liang Lati: "Comrade Liang Lati..."

"I won't introduce myself to you. You should have known everything yesterday."

Then he turned his attention to Tang Dashan: "This is Comrade Tang Dashan, the canteen supervisor of the steel mill. He is also my apprentice and lives in the front yard."

Then he pointed at He Yuzhu and continued to introduce: "This is Comrade He Yuzhu, a ninth-level chef in the third canteen of the steel rolling mill. He currently lives in the backyard."

"The house you want to rent has always been occupied by Master He. He knows the situation in the house better than I do, so I called him over to help. By the way, I will introduce the situation of the house to you."

Liang Lati didn't expect Wang Dong to be so thoughtful, and immediately greeted Tang Dashan and He Yuzhu: "Master He, Team Leader Tang... Hello, I'm Liang Lati, a level 5 fitter at the steel rolling mill. From now on, we are not only neighbors in the same yard, but also co-workers in the same factory. Please take care of me."

"I have many children at home. If there are any disturbances, please tell me immediately. I will criticize and educate them and ensure that they do not disturb everyone's life in the courtyard."

"After we move, I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight. Thank you Director Wang, Squad Leader Tang, and Master He for your help. You must come, otherwise you'll be giving Liang Lawei no face..." (End of this chapter)
