Courtyard House: After disbanding the Elderly Care Gang, I went to the countryside to cultivate immo

In the following days, Lin Shengli traveled by night and raided several warehouses, taking all the items that were to be destroyed into his own cave space.

They also followed a few prominent figures and raided their small warehouse that night, instantly enriching the supplies in their space.

Lin Shengli neatly arranged all kinds of ancient books on the nanmu wood bookshelves he had plundered, placing them in the main hall of his spatial mansion. He then casually tossed the antiques and gold into the storage cabinet and left them there.

Anyway, he's a cultivator, and he collects these things just for fun. He's not going to think about making a fortune from them after the storm stops.

What Lin Shengli was curious about was Li Huaide of the steel rolling mill. The things in this guy's small warehouse were really not as good as those things that the people in the district and city stored up in private. No wonder he still had to make a fortune by smuggling after the storm stopped.

Since the falling out between Sha Zhu and the Yi and Jia families, everyone in the four courtyards has been quite quiet. Now that Sha Zhu knows he has a son, he has something to look forward to and goes to work happily every day, and he also goes out to take on jobs more often.

However, he did manage to kick Xiao Dang and Huaihua out of He Yushui's house.

Perhaps remembering the kindness the deaf old lady had shown him in bringing Lou Xiao'e together, Sha Zhu became increasingly attentive to her.

He Yushui came back once in between, and no one knows what the two siblings talked about, but the next day He Yushui left with red eyes.

Later, I saw He Yushui come back once a week to help Sha Zhu tidy up the house.

With only four women left in the Jia family, Bang Geng was exiled to the far northwest. Without Sha Zhu's support, Qin Huairu's face grew increasingly sorrowful each day, like the Daoist Zhunti who failed to snatch the innate spiritual treasure.

Xu Damao's position as deputy director was eventually removed. It's unclear whether Sha Zhu played a role in it, but none of this concerned Lin Shengli. He simply stayed in his room every day and didn't go out, which was how he always had done it, and the people in the courtyard didn't find it strange.

The space has everything except animals. Both wheat and rice have been harvested once. Although the cave space is not large, the abundant spiritual energy makes the yield high. After harvesting one batch of wheat and rice, Lin Shengli planted two more, and they are about to ripen.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two weeks, Lin Shengli's cultivation level has also broken through to the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. He is about to break through to the middle level of Qi Refining, but Lin Shengli always feels that something is missing. He guesses that his cultivation level has reached a bottleneck, but he doesn't think too much about it. Even if he only has the strength of the third level of Qi Refining now, no one would dare to mess with him outside.

That day, Lin Shengli went out and rode his bicycle to the hospital. Today was the day Li Kuiyong was to be discharged.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they found Zhong Yuemin with Zhou Xiaobai, Zheng Tong, and Yuan Jun.

After introducing themselves, everyone helped Li Kuiyong move all his things outside the hospital and tie them to his bicycle, then they went back to Li Kuiyong's house in a grand procession.

Lin Shengli took a look and saw that Li Kuiyong was recovering quite well, probably because of the spiritual spring water he had provided.

After everyone delivered Li Kuiyong's belongings to his home, Zhong Yuemin suggested treating everyone to a meal at Lao Mo's to celebrate Li Kuiyong's recovery and discharge from the hospital.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhong Yuemin otherwise, Li Kuiyong agreed.

As Li Kuiyong's mother reminded everyone to be careful when going out, everyone rushed out in a flurry.

Lin Shengli rode his bicycle with Li Kuiyong, Zhong Yuemin with Zhou Xiaobai, and Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong each rode a bicycle. They arrived at Lao Mo in no time.

Lin Shengli had eaten Western food when he was pursuing girls in his previous life, but after eating it a few times, he didn't like it that much anymore. It was expensive, and the food wasn't very satisfying.

I guess he was born with a Chinese stomach.

In this era, Lao Mo, or the Moscow Restaurant, was considered high-end by young people in Beijing. For children from ordinary families, being able to have a meal at Lao Mo was like experiencing something new and exciting.

After everyone sat down, Zhong Yuemin picked up the menu and told everyone to order whatever they liked: "Today we're celebrating Kuiyong's discharge from the hospital, so please order whatever you like!"

Yuan Jun turned the chair upside down, with the back facing the dining table. He straddled the chair, rested his hands on the back, and laughed at Zhong Yuemin, "Yuemin, how much money did you borrow from Zhou Xiaobai today? So generous!"

Zhong Yuemin slapped him: "Shut up, you're lucky you even have anything to eat!"

Zheng Tong chuckled slyly, "Yuan Jun is afraid you don't have enough money, so he'll leave him here as collateral for your meals!"

Li Kuiyong had never been to a place like this before, and neither had Lin Shengli, so they didn't know which dishes were good. They said to Zhong Yuemin, "Yuemin, you order. We'll eat whatever you order!"

Zhong Yuemin didn't say much. He looked around the restaurant, found a waiter, and called out, "Waiter, I'd like to order!"

A waitress walked towards them, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and said a few words to another waitress, and then the second waitress came over.

Yuan Jun nudged Zhong Yuemin and said, "Yuemin, you look like a bad element hiding among the people. That waiter doesn't want to come over when he sees you!"

Zhong Yuemin laughed, "Are you blind? Last time you even asked if they offered processing services with materials provided!"

Yuan Jun slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, it's her! I was telling you she looked at us like we were the plague."

Hearing their conversation, Zhou Xiaobai asked curiously, "Tell me, how did you two bully the waiter last time?"

Zhong Yuemin rubbed his nose and said, "Let's not talk about it, that waiter is easily amused!"

Zheng Tong pushed up his glasses and said, "Yuemin, you'd better order properly. Xiaobai and Kuiyong, listen to me!"

Zhong Yuemin punched Zheng Tong and said, "You're not allowed to ruin my reputation!" Then he continued ordering food with the waiter.

Zheng Tong, being a descendant of intellectuals, vividly recounted the incident where Zhong Yuemin and his group harassed the waiter.

Before long, all the dishes were served.

Zhong Yuemin raised his glass: "Come on, the first glass, to celebrate Kui Yong's recovery and discharge from the hospital!"

The glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

Li Kuiyong picked up his cup, his eyes a little red: "Yuemin, Shengli, Xiaobai, Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have really lost my life."

"Why bring this up?" Zhong Yuemin patted him on the shoulder. "We're brothers."

Lin Shengli put a piece of beef on Li Kuiyong's plate: "Kuiyong, eat more to nourish your body."

Although Lao Mo's dishes weren't quite to Lin Shengli's liking, everyone enjoyed the meal.

Lin Shengli watched this scene with a mix of emotions.

In his past life, when he watched "Blood Romance," he liked this group of people: Zhong Yuemin's carefree spirit, Zheng Tong's scholarly air, Yuan Jun's righteousness, Zhou Xiaobai's kindness, and Li Kuiyong's resilience. In that oppressive era, they possessed a rare vitality.

And now, he has become one of them.

"Shengli, what are you laughing at?" Zhong Yuemin noticed his expression.

"It's nothing," Lin Shengli shook his head. "I just feel that it's nice that we can still sit together and eat like this."

Zheng Tong sighed, "Yes, who knows where we'll all be this time next year."

Yuan Jun cursed, "Zheng Tong, you're just ruining the atmosphere!"

Zheng Tong put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and said, "You think everyone's as heartless as you?"

Zhong Yuemin tapped the rim of his glass with his fork, then raised it again: "Come on, a second glass. No matter where we go in the future, remember today—we'll always be friends."

"We'll always be friends!" everyone shouted in unison.

It was already 8 p.m. when dinner ended.

"I'll take Xiaobai back," Zhong Yuemin said.

"Yuan Jun and I are going the same way," Zheng Tong said.

"Then I'll take Kuiyong," Lin Shengli said.

Li Kuiyong quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I can manage myself..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Shengli supported him. "You've just recovered, don't push yourself."

Zhong Yuemin patted Lin Shengli on the shoulder: "Shengli, the rest is in your hands."

"rest assured."

The group said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

Lin Shengli rode his bicycle with Li Kuiyong on the back. The flow of people going to and from get off work gradually turned into the various alleys and slowly decreased.

"Victory, thank you," Li Kuiyong suddenly said.

"You're talking about this again."

"It's not just today," Li Kuiyong said earnestly. "After I was injured this time, you were the one who paid my medical bills in time. I may not be able to pay it back in a short time, but don't worry, I will never forget it."

"These are minor matters. I trust your character," Lin Shengli interrupted him. "Kuiyong, remember this: better days are ahead."

Li Kuiyong nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

"By the way," Lin Shengli asked, "Kuitong, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Kuiyong, who was in the back seat at the meeting, suddenly fell silent for a moment. Then, his deep voice rang out: "Shengli, although the public security authorities will not pursue me this time because I was seriously injured, it will be impossible for me to find a job in the future. Moreover, given my relationship with Xiao Jiu, staying in Beijing will probably not end well. I have decided to go to the countryside!"

Lin Shengli then understood why Li Kuiyong in the original drama had to go to the countryside.
