Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

"Good luck, may good luck bring you joy and love..."

After Zhao De hummed the song once, his eyes became even brighter.

This song is destined to become a huge hit in the future.

At this moment, he was unable to complete his work, but he unexpectedly discovered that this pencil had such an ability.

Zhao De looked at the notebook and asked in confusion:

"You function the same way as this pen, right? Can you do what it can do?"

[Notebook: Of course, is it the same requirement? I'll compose a song for you.]

Soon, another hit song that spread throughout the streets and alleys and became a household name was born—"Unforgettable Tonight"!

At this point, Zhao De fully understood how to effectively work with these items, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

At this time.

[Watch: Master, you can only wait thirty more seconds, or you'll be late for work.]

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhao De took some food from his spatial storage, ate a few bites quickly, and then opened the door.

The sunlight shone on him.

He looked up.

......................

[The Sun: Nothing new to me.]

Hey, even the sun is starting to personify itself!

Next, Zhao De looked around curiously.

[The deaf old woman's house: I'm already beyond saving, stop bullying that old lady, she's very old too.]

Zhao De chuckled to himself; this house was trying to play the good guy!

"As long as the deaf old lady doesn't cause me any trouble, I naturally won't play any pranks on her!"

[The deaf old woman's house: If you can do this, I'll tell you about a courtyard house for sale, including the furniture. The furniture is all very valuable, all antiques. Buying it will definitely make you a fortune.]

This suggestion greatly appealed to Zhao De.

Buying and selling houses is not illegal nowadays.

The third and second uncles have both bought houses this year for their eldest sons' weddings.

Of course, speculation and profiteering are absolutely unacceptable.

He has over a thousand yuan in his own hands, and it will only increase in the future.

Leaving this money idle will only make it worth less and less; it would be better to exchange it for a courtyard house!

"But how can I convince you that I can do this?"

"You wouldn't believe it so easily, would you?"

"Of course, I have complete faith in myself, but I'm afraid you might not..."

Before Zhao De could finish speaking, new text appeared.

.......................

Chapter Thirty-Three: Even Iron Hammer Has Strange Ideas!

[The deaf old woman's residence: Everything in the world must follow conscience. If you receive a benefit but then break your promise, your conscience will be uneasy, and you will be constantly condemned by the moral conscience deep within your heart. This is far more powerful than any oath or guarantee, because it directly touches the heart.]

"The reasoning you're giving is indeed profound, so please tell me."

“I’ve already promised you that as long as that deaf old lady stops causing me trouble, I won’t punish her anymore.”

[The deaf old woman's residence: This courtyard house is located in a hutong (alleyway) to the left of Qianmen Street. The owner of the house is named Qiu Guang, nicknamed "Pianye" (Old Man Pian), who barely makes a living by pulling shadow puppets and has no legitimate occupation. Old Man Pian is greedy and likes to drink a little alcohol, often going to a small tavern near Zhengyangmen to drink heartily.]

Zhao De noted down this information and planned to take the afternoon off to go and check it out.

When he entered the Intermediate People's Court, a group of middle-aged women were very surprised to see Zhao De.

"Zhao De, what time did you get back yesterday?"

The second aunt was the most surprised.

She also lives in the backyard and didn't see Zhao De return last night.

"They must have arrived around 8 PM!"

Zhao De was puzzled. What was going on with these people?

...................

Auntie Er suddenly realized.

I was already in bed by 8 pm last night.

"You don't know?!"

Seeing Zhao De shake his head, the women began to tell him what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Zhao De's eyes widened in astonishment.

Oh dear, it turns out that Madam Jia Zhang waited at the door all night?

He then realized that the narration from yesterday had reminded him to make the most of his time and go home.

The implication is that someone will be freezing all night, referring to Jia Zhangshi.

"I didn't see her at the door when I came back."

"However, when I passed by the Jia family, I saw them eating. They looked quite presentable, and they were eating very well."

After Zhao De said that, the older women were speechless.

In other words, it took Jia Zhangshi a short time to return home and have a meal.

Just then, Zhao De returned!

Did the two of them just miss each other like that?

......................

Jia Zhangshi is so unlucky!

The women couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her plight.

After all, she had been outside in the cold all night.

When Jia Zhangshi returns and learns of this situation, she will likely be greatly shocked.

Zhao De shook his head and decided to leave quickly.

At the same time, I mentally checked again whether my door was locked.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he seemed to have forgotten to lock the door.

That's just how things are.

If you don't think about it much, it's fine, but once you start thinking about it, it will seem more and more suspicious.

It didn't matter. After Zhao De left the courtyard, he took out his keys and asked in a low voice:

Did I lock the door properly?

[Key: Guess?]

Zhao De's face darkened. "Guess whether I'll guess or not?"

[Key: Guess what?]

Zhao De really didn't want to get entangled with it anymore. "Believe me or not, I'll change the lock and the key?"

[Key: Locked!]

Hearing this answer, Zhao Decai put the key back in his pocket with relief.

He pushed off twice with his right foot and took a step to get on his old-fashioned bicycle.

[Bicycle: Master, I also want to get married. Could you buy me another women's bicycle?]

Zhao De casually rang the bicycle bell.

......................

"You're still young, let's talk about this in a few years."

On a bustling street, all the objects displayed text.

Zhao De initially found it novel.

But soon he became focused on watching the road.

Soon after, a familiar figure came into Zhao De's view.

Hey, isn't that Jia Dongxu?
