The Beginning of a Courtyard House: Sixty Years of Internal Strength

Yao Yao only spoke up when she saw that the twins were yawning from sleepiness.

"You two can sleep here."

The toilet is in that tunnel over there.

The two women quickly bowed.

"Yes, madam, we understand."

Yao Yao heard the word "Madam" and saw the etiquette of the two women.

His face flushed red with excitement.

"Brother Jianguo, let's go back."

Li Jianguo finished his tea in one gulp.

Then I went back to the courtyard house with Yao Yao.

Yao Yao lay in bed, still sighing.

"Brother Jianguo, these two really do look alike."

You can't tell at all.

I wonder if they have moles on their bodies.

Can you tell which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister who got a refund?

By the way, they don't have names either.

What should we name them?

Using reduplicated words makes one fit in.

"Yaoyao, it's getting late, let's go to sleep."

As for their names, I'll ask them tomorrow.

Let them call it whatever they want.

After all, it's their name, so we should listen to their opinions.

Yao Yao nodded her little head and said.

"Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Then Yao Yao snuggled into Li Jianguo's arms.

The two fell asleep shortly afterward.

The next day, upon opening his eyes, Li Jianguo suddenly thought of a question.

"Yaoyao, do you think we should go out today?"

Yesterday, I planned to wait for the police in the courtyard.

Now another pair of twins have entered the space; it wouldn't be good for us not to go.

"Brother Jianguo, if it really doesn't work..."

Let's go outside. We can find a corner near the courtyard house to enter the space.

Then, when you have free time, use your mental energy to explore the area around the courtyard house.

It would be best if we could run into them.

If we don't run into each other, it won't stop us from spending time with the newcomers in the space.

"That's all we can do."

The two then got up together and ate breakfast.

Then we left the courtyard house.

I entered the space in a nearby alley.

Upon entering, I saw five women sitting at a large table inside the cave.

One of the twins was professionally preparing tea for the women.

The girls stood up simultaneously when they saw Li Jianguo and Yao Yao.

Gao Lanlan said excitedly.

"Brother-in-law, come and sit down."

Their tea is so delicious, much better than ours that we just make haphazardly.

After they sat down, they drank tea together.

Li Jianguo watched the girl's fluid movements, finding them truly beautiful.

No wonder he's been trained for over a decade; his tea ceremony skills are truly exceptional.

I wonder if he's just as outstanding in other aspects as well.

He still asked curiously when he saw the tea set.

"Where did this tea set come from? I don't remember buying it myself."

Gao Lanlan began to explain.

"Brother-in-law, a bunch of antiques suddenly appeared last night."

They picked them out from among them.

The girl making tea spoke as she fiddled with the tea set.

"Sir, this is a five-colored dragon and phoenix patterned tea set, a tea set from the Ming Dynasty."

This small cup is part of the Qianlong Emperor's Three Purities Tea Set.

These are all ones I picked out from there.

There are other small pots as well.

That completes the set.

The mention of antiques reminded Li Jianguo of it, and he quickly gave instructions.

"When you have time, go and check those antiques to see if any of them are fake."

"Yes, sir, we understand."

Yao Yao continued.

"Let's talk about names first. What are you planning to call yourselves?"

It's best to use reduplicated words, for example, my name is Wang Yaoyao.

This is Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Lanlan, her name is Huahua.

You should all give yourselves a name too.

The woman making the tea was taken aback.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

"Oh, my name is Li Jianguo."

"Since the master's surname is Li, and he has become a nun and followed his husband, let us also take the surname Li."

As for the name.

There is a poem by Caiwei that is quite well written.

When I left, the willows were swaying gently.

Now I come to think of you, amidst the falling snow and rain.

I'm the older sister, so my name is Li Yiyi.

My younger sister's name is Li Feifei.

How was it?

Li Jianguo was also stunned; no wonder he's a cultured man.

They even put a poem on the name they chose.

Li Jianguo had never even heard of Caiwei.

He nodded in a perfunctory manner and said.

"Whatever you say, let's name them Yiyi and Feifei."

Yao Yao looked at the two of them with admiration.

She had never been to school before and didn't know how to read.

She was surprised to find the twins to be such cultured women, and she liked them even more.

Yao Yao asked directly.

"Have either of you studied meridian theory?"

Yi Yi shook her head and said.

"Madam, we don't understand; we haven't studied it."

"I forgot to tell you yesterday that we all practice martial arts together and cultivate internal energy."

You will learn about meridians later, and we will also teach you martial arts.

Not only will it enhance your fighting skills, it will also keep you forever young.

"Yes, madam, we will learn as soon as possible."

After that, the group focused on drinking their tea.

To be honest, the way you brew tea really does affect the taste.

This is much better than the old days when everyone would repeatedly brew and drink tea from a single teacup.

Li Jianguo sipped his tea while observing the situation of several courtyard houses nearby.

He waited until after 9 o'clock before he finally caught the two policemen.

At that moment, two police officers were at a neighbor's house in courtyard number 94.

Inquire about He Yuzhu's situation.

"Hello, ma'am, this is He Yuzhu from the next courtyard."

Did he hit people a lot when he was young? Did he often kick people in the groin?

Who are the people he kicked?

The older woman said with absolute certainty.

"Police officer."

He mainly attacked people from his compound.

He didn't hit many of the kids in our compound.

However, it's true that he used a groin kick.

We've all seen them in our neighborhood.

Especially the kids from courtyard number 95, they've been fighting since they were little.

The He family were cooks, and Sha Zhu had been eating well since he was a child, so he grew up strong and healthy.

I heard that he also studied wrestling with someone over the overpass for two years.

None of the kids in courtyard number 95 could beat him.

Everyone in our courtyard has heard of his reputation as the "God of War of the Courtyard".

In courtyard number 95, Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangqi and others were beaten the most.

Also, when Jia Dongxu was a child, Sha Zhu beat him up quite a bit.

However, after Sha Zhu grew up, he hit Jia Dongxu less often.

Because He Daqing had already run away by then.

He has a particularly close relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu's mentor at the time.

So I haven't kicked Jia Dongxu since I grew up, but I kicked him quite a lot when I was a kid.

I heard that Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu's infertility was caused by Sha Zhu kicking them.

It's really possible.

Because kids don't usually use groin kicks when they fight.

You only use Sha Zhu the most.

"Okay, ma'am, I understand. We'll go ask around at other places."

Could you please sign your name below?

"Officer, I can't read or write, I'll just leave my fingerprint."

As she spoke, the older woman went up and pressed her fingerprint on the document.

The two police officers then visited each household in turn.

Li Jianguo just stared at the two of them.

After asking around in the neighboring courtyard, I went to courtyard number 96.

Seeing that the opportunity was too good to pass up, Li Jianguo secretly went to the alley entrance.

He walked away, looking like he was just passing by.

The fleeting moment when we brushed past each other.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Jianguo used his hidden strength to strike one of them with his palm.

Finally, Li Jianguo changed direction again and turned into another alley.
