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

After receiving the money, Lin Shengli squeezed through the crowd and left the courtyard without looking back; he still had many things to do that day.

Stepping out of the courtyard house, Lin Shengli rode his bicycle along the bluestone path of Nanluoguxiang.

Although it was still morning in June in Beijing, there was already a hint of heat, and the piercing chirping of cicadas could be heard in the alleyways.

Several students wearing red armbands hurried past, their faces beaming with a kind of fervent passion.

This era, this scene.

Decades from now, when these people get old, many of them will be fighting with young people for seats on buses and subways every day!

Riding his bicycle, Lin Shengli headed straight for Wangfujing Street. He had quite a few things he wanted to buy today, and he figured it would be difficult to buy them all at once at the Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Along the way, Lin Shengli looked around at the scenery of Beijing in this era, and for a moment he did not pay attention to the situation on the road. When he was about to arrive, a young man on a bicycle suddenly rushed over from the opposite direction.

Lin Shengli heard a shout: "Hey you over there, move aside!"

Lin Shengli subconsciously looked ahead and was startled. The car on the other side was about to hit him. Just as he was about to swerve to avoid it, the young man's car collided with Lin Shengli's.

The young man had a thin young man riding on the back of his car, and the three of them collided and rolled together.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Shengli quickly got up and helped the two of them up.

The young man in the back seat was clutching his chest, blood seeping from between his fingers.

"Wow, isn't that Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong?" Lin Shengli thought to himself as he looked at the two men.

"etc..."

Li Kuiyong.

The name surfaced in his memory; he was the original owner's junior high school classmate. He lived in a large courtyard, his father had passed away early, his mother was ill, and he had four younger siblings. The whole family depended on him for support.

In his previous life, Lin Shengli watched a TV series called "Blood Romance". There was a character named Li Kuiyong in the series, who had a similar background. He was loyal and valued friendship, but his fate was full of hardships.

"Could this be... a merged world?"

Lin Shengli carefully recalled that there was indeed a person named Li Kuiyong in the original owner's memories. They were classmates in junior high school for a year. Later, when the original owner went to high school, Li Kuiyong dropped out of school due to family difficulties and worked as a temporary worker in the neighborhood office.

The TV series "Blood Romance" is also set in Beijing in the 1960s and 70s, and the main characters, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, and Li Kuiyong, hang out in the southern part of the city.

"So I not only walked into a traditional courtyard house, but I also merged into the world of 'Bloody Romance'..."

Lin Shengli gave a wry smile.

In his past life, when he watched "Blood Romance," he felt a strong connection with the character Li Kuiyong. Unlike the privileged children of Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang, Li Kuiyong was a true member of the lower class, struggling to survive, and ultimately succumbed to lung cancer and died tragically.

The drama is titled "Blood Romance," but for ordinary people like Li Kuiyong, there's only blood, not romance.

In the original drama, Li Kuiyong was not prepared at first. Later, he signed up to go to the countryside with Zhong Yuemin and others. He was assigned to the Loess Plateau, where he was trapped for nearly ten years before returning to Beijing.

Lin Shengli has already met everyone in the courtyard. He has also met characters from "Blood Romance" and doesn't know which drama characters he will meet in the future.

The thought quickly flashed through his mind. Lin Shengli smiled at Li Kuiyong and said, "Oh, it's Li Kuiyong. What happened to you? Did a dog chase you?"

"Lin Shengli! It's you, kid! I was wondering who was riding their bike without looking where they were going!" Hearing Lin Shengli's words, Li Kuiyong also recognized him.

Zhong Yuemin righted the bicycle, watched the two men talk, and asked Li Kuiyong, "Kuiyong, do you know him?"

Li Kuiyong nodded and said, "Yuemin, let me introduce you. This guy's name is Lin Shengli. He was in the same class as me for a year in junior high, but then he skipped a grade and went straight to high school!"

He turned to Lin Shengli and said, "Shengli, this is Zhong Yuemin, my buddy, a tough guy from the compound."

Zhong Yuemin brought two fingers together, swept them across his temples, and then extended his hand to Lin Shengli, saying, "Zhong Yuemin."

Lin Shengli extended his hand and shook hands with him: "Lin Shengli."

Seeing that Li Kuiyong was still bleeding, Lin Shengli quickly said, "Kuiyong, you're still bleeding, let's take you to the hospital!"

Zhong Yuemin slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, I forgot about that!"

Li Kuiyong feigned nonchalance and said, "It's nothing, this little injury won't kill me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Lin Shengli and Zhong Yuemin quickly helped him up. Lin Shengli said, "Zhong Yuemin, help him onto my bicycle. I'm still in good shape, I'll ride him to the hospital. You follow behind."

Zhong Yuemin didn't refute. He had been riding his bike with Li Kuiyong on the back, speeding all the way from Xiannongtan Park, and his mind was completely blank. He hadn't thought of going to the nearby hospital at first, and now he didn't have much energy left.

Lin Shengli rode his bicycle and quickly took Li Kuiyong to the hospital.

After Li Kuiyong was wheeled into the ward, Zhong Yuemin arrived, panting heavily.

Upon seeing Lin Shengli, Zhong Yuemin hurriedly asked, "How is he? Did the doctor say anything?"

Lin Shengli shook his head and said, "It's nothing. The doctor said it's fortunate that he was brought in early. He was just taken into the operating room."

Zhong Yuemin was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the corridor.

Suddenly, a doctor came out of the operating room carrying a tray. Zhong Yuemin rushed forward and asked, "Doctor, how is it? Is there any danger?"

The female doctor glanced at him: "It's not clear yet, hurry up and pay the bill!"

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Zhong Yuemin lowered his head and remained silent.

These kids from the compound were all big spenders; none of them had much money in their pockets.

Lin Shengli knew what was wrong as soon as he saw his expression and asked, "Zhong Yuemin, what's wrong?"

Zhong Yuemin shook his head: "The doctor wants me to pay the fees, I'm trying to figure something out!"

Without hesitation, Lin Shengli said, "It's alright, I'll go pay. I happened to bring some cash with me today!"

Upon hearing Lin Shengli's words, Zhong Yuemin excitedly stepped forward, grasped Lin Shengli's hand, and said, "Good brother, thank you so much! I, Zhong Yuemin, will remember this favor!"

Lin Shengsheng patted Zhong Yuemin's hand and said, "Hey, it's no big deal. I was young when we were in school, and Kui Yong was a good fighter, but he always took care of me!"

After saying that, the two went to the payment counter and paid the money.

Lin Shengli remembered that in the original drama, Zhong Yuemin called Zhou Xiaobai to ask her to lend him money. For someone as proud as Zhong Yuemin to lower himself to ask a woman for money shows that he was truly desperate.

After waiting for quite a while, Li Kuiyong was wheeled out and taken to the ward.

Lin Shengli and Zhong Yuemin followed them to the ward, and after waiting for a while, Li Kuiyong on the hospital bed opened his eyes.

Seeing Li Kuiyong wake up, Zhong Yuemin said with red eyes, "Kuiyong, you're awake! You scared me to death!"

Li Kuiyong, lying on the hospital bed, was too weak to speak. Looking at the two of them, his eyes showed gratitude.

Zhong Yuemin continued, "Kuiyong, you're lucky to be alive today. This time, it's all thanks to Shengli. If I hadn't run into him on the way, where would I have gotten so much money to pay for your surgery?"

Lin Shengli smiled and said, "Kuiyong, don't listen to Zhong Yuemin's nonsense. You took good care of me back in school. Now that I've run into this, how can I ignore it? Just focus on recovering. Money is worthless; we can earn more when it's gone. Your health is the most important thing."

The gratitude in Li Kuiyong's eyes deepened.

The two stayed with Li Kuiyong for a while, and Zhong Yuemin also called the neighborhood committee where Li Kuiyong lived in advance to ask them to notify Li Kuitong's family.

After Li Kuiyong's younger brother arrived at the hospital, the two said goodbye and left.

As they exited the hospital, Zhong Yuemin said to Lin Shengli, "I won't say much more in thanks. Once Kuiyong recovers, I'll invite you both to my home. From now on, we're brothers!"

Lin Shengli laughed and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you to treat me!"

After saying goodbye to Zhong Yuemin, Lin Shengli noticed that it was getting late. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything since he left in the morning, and it was already afternoon. So, Lin Shengli gave up on going to the department store and went directly to the grain store to buy his monthly ration, and then to the seed store to buy some common vegetable seeds.

As for grain seeds, you need a letter of introduction and a receipt to buy them. Lin Shengli used his mind to transfer a few common grain seeds from the seed shop to his cave space.

After buying the seeds, he went to the vegetable market. By the afternoon, most of the good vegetables had already been picked over, so he just bought some random vegetables and went home.
