Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

The radio started playing.

The entire courtyard house was now completely bustling with activity.

Especially at night.

At the entrance of the Lin family's house in the backyard.

A large crowd gathered around.

Some were holding rice bowls.

Some people brought out small stools.

Some even brought children.

unknown.

I thought someone was showing a movie.

"Speak louder!"

"I can't hear you!"

"Don't push! Don't push!"

"Ouch, my shoes!"

That kid Banggeng.

He has now completely become a "lackey".

Moving tables, adjusting positions, and maintaining order.

He was so busy that he was covered in sweat.

But he looked incredibly smug.

Because the radio belonged to "Brother Jian'an".

Rounding down.

That's something, it's a way for him to save face.

"Don't push!"

"Line up to listen!"

"This is high-end stuff!"

Banggeng stood with his hands on his hips.

They were shouting like the security guards.

The next second...

Sha Zhu slapped him on the head.

"What are you pretending to be, leader?"

"hey-hey."

Even the stick-shaped stalk doesn't get angry.

On the contrary, they became even more enthusiastic.

Inside the house.

Yi Xiulan sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

I was still a little dazed.

Because she really didn't expect it.

My own home.

There's actually a day when radios exist.

before.

Don't even mention the radio.

Being able to eat your fill is already considered good.

The result is now.

Not only does the house smell of meat every day.

It also became the liveliest place in the courtyard.

Thinking about this...

Her eyes were slightly red.

"Jian'an has really grown up..."

And this moment.

The system notifications kept popping up.

[Intra-hospital reputation increased]

[Increased neighborly favorability]

[Points +1]

[Points +1]

……

Although it's not often.

But there were too many people.

Lin Jian'an found it hilarious.

"So you can also earn points by showing off."

And just then...

A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Jian'an".

Are you asleep?

Doorway.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui.

He was holding a broken fan.

His face was all smiles.

"No."

"oops."

"That's perfect."

The third uncle came in, rubbing his hands together.

"Could you take a look at this for Uncle San?"

"Can it be repaired?"

He put the fan on the table.

A look of anticipation on his face.

"This thing has been sitting at home for years."

"It used to be able to rotate."

"Then it stopped moving."

"You need to be able to fix it."

"Uncle San is offering you candy."

"..."

The room fell silent instantly.

Even the sticky rice cake looked disgusted.

"sugar?"

"You're so stingy."

"Hey!"

The old man remained completely calm and composed.

"Is candy free?"

"Where are the fruit candies!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

That's a truly ingenious scheme.

Lin Jian'an.

Then I turned on a system scan.

Old-fashioned electric fan

Damage level: Minor

Repair requires: 5 points

[Value after restoration: 18 yuan]

"It can be repaired."

"real?!"

The old man's eyes lit up instantly.

"But we'll have to wait."

"Let me look into it first."

"OK! OK! OK!"

The third uncle was overjoyed.

Because he hadn't had any hope to begin with.

The result was unexpected.

Lin Jian'an really said he could fix it.

And he had just left.

Even my second uncle, Liu Haizhong, came.

He was holding a flashlight.

"Jian'an".

"Take a look at this."

"Why are they all broken?"

Behind.

There are also a few neighbors.

One is carrying a thermos.

One is holding a light bulb.

Some even brought clocks.

The entire house instantly turned into a repair shop.

Holy crap.

Even Sha Zhu was amused.

"Did you come as a group?"

"So what?"

"Jian'an is capable."

"Who wouldn't want to fix it?"

"that is."

"Buying new ones is so expensive these days."

The people in the courtyard were talking amongst themselves.

His eyes were full of expectation.

Because everyone has already noticed.

Lin Jian'an.

They really have the technology.

and.

It's still about the "technology" of not needing tickets.

Thinking about this...

The system prompted again.

[New Inspection Route: Neighborhood Repair]

[Enable?]

"Activate".

next second.

The system interface has been refreshed.

Neighborhood repair routes have been established.

[Available through repair:]

1. Cash

2. Human relationships

3. Old item recycling

4. Points Rewards

Lin Jian'an felt immediately relieved.

"It's becoming more and more reasonable."

after.

Even if I suddenly become rich.

This can also be explained as follows:

"I earned it by repairing things."

No one can find fault with it.

and.

The key is--

Favor.

In this day and age.

Many times.

Money doesn't always work as well as personal connections.

Thinking about this...

He spoke directly:

"It can be repaired."

"But I have rules."

The room fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at him.

"First."

"We won't repair anything that's too badly damaged."

"second."

"Don't blame me if it can't be fixed."

"third."

Does anyone have any old things they don't want anymore?

"It can be used to offset repair costs."

These words were spoken.

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Old things?

Everyone has one of those.

Especially now.

Lots of scrap metal are taking up space.

It's a pity to throw it away.

"Jian'an!"

"I have an old clock at home!"

"I have a copper kettle!"

"And there's still the old trick in the book!"

A group of people immediately started vying to speak.

Because they felt—

made money.

Replace the broken with the repaired.

It's a great deal no matter how you look at it.

But what they didn't know was...

These are old, dilapidated buildings.

From the system's perspective.

It's all points.

And this moment.

Lin Jian'an was practically laughing his head off inside.

"Isn't this more efficient than collecting recyclables?"

after.

I don't even need to go to the recycling center.

The staff in the hospital proactively delivered resources to our door.

so comfy.

And just then...

A weak voice suddenly rang out.

"Jian'an..."

Everyone turned around.

It was Qin Huairu.

In her hands.

Holding an old sewing machine pedal.

He was clearly a little embarrassed.

"this……"

"Can it be repaired?"

The room immediately became quieter.

Because everyone knows.

The Jia family was poor.

And recently.

Bang Geng just stole a chicken again.

Now Qin Huairu is here.

It was a bit awkward.

but.

Lin Jian'an didn't pay any attention.

The system scanned the area.

Sewing machine pedal assembly

[Repairable]

[Includes hidden parts]

Ok?

Hidden parts?

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Bring it here so I can take a look."

Qin Huairu quickly handed it over.

There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Because of this sewing machine.

It was left behind by Jia Dongxu.

It's broken.

But she couldn't bear to throw it away.

"Can it be repaired?"

"able."

"real?!"

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up immediately.

Because the sewing machine was so important to her.

He usually sews clothes and mends pants.

That's all we have.

"But it has to be taken apart."

"OK!"

"As long as it can be repaired."

"Anything is fine!"

And just then...

The system suddenly prompted again.

[Hidden compartments exist inside the old sewing machine]
