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

"Valuables?"

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the old sewing machine pedal.

On the surface.

This thing is terribly broken.

The edges of the wood are all worn rough.

The iron frame was also rusted black.

But since the system has given a prompt.

There must be something inside.

"Jian'an?"

Qin Huairu noticed that he suddenly stopped talking.

I suddenly felt nervous.

"Is it beyond repair?"

"It can be repaired."

Lin Jian'an came to his senses.

"But we'll have to open it up and take a look."

"OK!"

"You can dismantle it however you want!"

Qin Huairu agreed very readily.

Because now.

She really had no other choice.

The clothes at home are mended every day.

It's so hard not having a sewing machine.

and.

She didn't have the money to buy a new one.

Jia Zhangshi was standing next to her.

He looked pained.

"Take it easy on me!"

"Don't break it!"

"It was already broken."

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes.

"What are you afraid of?"

"What do you know!"

Jia Zhangshi glared at him.

"This was left behind by Dongxu!"

In a word.

The atmosphere in the room quieted down slightly.

Especially Qin Huairu.

His eyes dimmed noticeably for a moment.

Although Jia Dongxu has been gone for several years.

But this family.

Many things still bear his mark.

Lin Jian'an.

The pedal has already been placed on the table.

The system scan route is clearly visible.

The hidden compartment is located within the internal wooden planks.

[It is recommended to remove the right-side fixing screws]

"Stick stalk".

"Get a screwdriver."

"Okay!"

The stick-shaped pheasant has now become a complete helper.

They run incredibly fast.

And the people in the courtyard.

They all gathered around.

after all.

Everyone wants to see.

How exactly did Lin Jian'an plan to repair it?

"Do you think it can be fixed?"

I doubt it.

"It's so badly damaged."

"But he can even fix radios."

The crowd whispered among themselves.

And Xu Damao.

He was also secretly watching from behind the crowd.

But now.

He really didn't dare to be sarcastic anymore.

They even kept their eyes closed.

He was afraid that Lin Jian'an would notice him.

soon.

Remove the screws.

Lin Jian'an followed the system prompts.

With a gentle pry.

Click.

Behind the wooden board.

Surprisingly, a hidden layer was indeed exposed.

"Um?"

"There's something in here!"

Banggeng was the first to call out.

moment.

The whole room fell silent.

Qin Huairu was also stunned.

"What?"

next second.

Lin Jian'an came from inside.

Slowly pull out an oil paper package.

It was wrapped up very tightly.

It's obvious that it's been hidden for many years.

"Holy crap..."

Sha Zhu's eyes widened in surprise.

"They really hid something?!"

"What is this?"

Everyone craned their necks.

And Jia Zhangshi.

Her breathing became rapid.

Because of this sewing machine.

It used to be Jia Dongxu who handled it.

She had no idea there was a hidden compartment inside.

"Open it and take a look!"

"It's not money, is it?"

"That's possible!"

Everyone immediately became excited.

In this day and age.

It's perfectly normal for someone to have some savings hidden away.

and.

Jia Dongxu used to work in a steel rolling mill.

Maybe they really have saved up something.

Qin Huairu's hands began to tremble.

"Jian'an..."

"Open it."

"OK."

Lin Jian'an slowly unwrapped the oil paper.

result.

next second.

What's showing inside.

But it left everyone stunned.

It's not about money.

But -

A military medal.

There's also a yellowed photo.

The room fell silent instantly.

Even the person who was most excited just now.

No one is saying anything.

Because of that military medal.

It's obviously not an ordinary item.

Copper base with red star.

Although it's old.

But it still exudes a sense of heaviness.

"This is……"

Yi Zhonghai's expression suddenly changed.

Take it quickly.

Take a closer look.

My breathing became heavy.

"This is a third-class merit medal from the Korean War..."

boom!

The entire hospital was shaken.

The Korean War.

These four words.

That's too heavy for this era.

And Qin Huairu.

I'm completely dumbfounded.

"Dongxu..."

"Where did he get this...?"

Because she never knew.

Jia Dongxu also has this.

next to.

Jia Zhangshi was also stunned.

His lips started to tremble.

"this……"

"This was left behind by Dongxu's father..."

Her voice suddenly went hoarse.

Everyone was stunned.

"Dongxu's father?"

"Was Old Jia a soldier before?"

"How come I've never heard of this before?"

Everyone in the courtyard was completely stunned.

Because everyone has always only known:

Old Jia died young.

But nobody knows.

They even went to the battlefield.

And Jia Zhangshi.

Then he suddenly sat down.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"His father used to work in the military..."

"He came back injured later."

"It was gone in just a few years..."

"Dongxu when he was a child."

"This is my most treasured possession..."

"Later I was afraid of losing it."

"So I secretly hid it..."

The more she talked...

The quieter the sound.

The courtyard became increasingly quiet.

Because nobody expected it.

Jia Zhangshi, who is usually the most shrewish and mean-spirited.

There's actually this side to it.

And Qin Huairu.

Tears were already falling.

She gently picked up the photograph.

In the photo.

It's Jia when he was young.

Wearing military uniform.

Little Jia Dongxu was standing next to him.

"Dongxu never told me this..."

Her voice trembled.

Sha Zhu suddenly fell silent.

to be frank.

He has always looked down on the Jia family.

But now.

I saw this thing.

I felt terrible.

These days.

Everyone has their hardships.

And this moment.

The system notification sounded again.

Detecting special historical items

Third-Class Merit Medal for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

[Recommendation: Keep]

[Can gain hidden official favorability]

Lin Jian'an's heart stirred slightly.

It seems.

This thing can still be used later.

And just then...

Suddenly someone outside exclaimed.

"Director Wang from the neighborhood committee is here!"

next second.

A middle-aged woman had already entered the backyard.

It was Director Wang from the subdistrict office.

She originally came to deliver a message.

result.

I just came in.

Then I saw the military medals on the table.

His expression changed instantly.

"Where did this come from?!"

"My family's..."

Qin Huairu answered subconsciously.

Director Wang immediately went over.

Take a closer look.

He became serious.

"How could you just leave it like that!"

"This is an honor!"

"It's an honor for the nation!"

Her voice even rose considerably.

The courtyard suddenly became even quieter.

And Director Wang.

Then he suddenly turned to look at the Jia family.

Even their eyes have changed.

Why didn't you report this before?

"This is part of the certificate for the family of a martyr!"

boom!

Now.

Even Qin Huairu was stunned.

"Family of a martyr?"
