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

"Family of a martyr?"

As soon as those two words came out.

The entire backyard instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Especially Jia Zhangshi.

I was completely stunned.

"Director Wang..."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Old Jia has been gone for so many years..."

"We'll see."

"He went out to join the army at that time..."

"How would I know anything about these things?"

She kept talking.

His voice sounded a little weak.

Because she truly doesn't understand.

then.

Old Jia went out with the troops.

He returned with injuries.

He died within a few years.

The family was dirt poor.

Nobody cares about "family members of martyrs".

The result is now.

The director of the subdistrict office actually said it himself:

This is a certificate from the family of a martyr.

Who can stand this.

"It can't be wrong."

Director Wang held his military medals.

His expression was very serious.

"This kind of medal."

"It wasn't sent out randomly."

"And it has a serial number on it."

"As long as the records can be found."

"That would fall under the category of official military dependent history."

Speaking of it.

She looked at the photo again.

The more I look at it...

The more serious the look in their eyes.

"Your family."

"No one should have registered before."

"What a pity."

"I haven't benefited from the policies all these years."

boom!

The people in the courtyard were in an uproar.

"Oh My God!"

"Are the Jia family also relatives of martyrs?"

"Really?"

"Will there be subsidies in the future?"

In this day and age.

The phrase "family members of martyrs" is too sensitive.

Especially recently.

Lin Jian'an's family was recently recognized as a martyr's family member.

They received various preferential treatments.

Now even the Jia family is involved.

The people in the courtyard immediately became envious.

And this moment.

Qin Huairu's mind was buzzing.

Because she never dreamed of it.

There was something like this hidden in the house.

"Dongxu..."

"Why have you never said that before...?"

She looked down at the photo.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

next to.

I don't quite understand the joke.

But they also realized it wasn't simple.

"mom."

"Will our family become powerful too?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Qin Huairu quickly grabbed him.

However, his voice was noticeably trembling.

On the other side...

Xu Damao's face was getting increasingly grim.

Because he discovered—

Recently, in this courtyard...

Why are they all starting to turn things around?

First it was Lin Jian'an.

Now it's the Jia family again.

I'm just unlucky every day.

Thinking about this...

He felt incredibly sad.

"Oh shit……"

"The feng shui of this courtyard has changed..."

And Sha Zhu.

They were already overjoyed.

"Hey!"

"Well done, Jia family!"

"I didn't know there was this connection."

"From now on, whoever dares to say your family has no roots will be born."

"Just slap his medal in the face."

"Shut up!"

Qin Huairu blushed instantly.

Because she has very mixed feelings right now.

Excited.

uncomfortable.

I'm a little regretful.

If only I had known sooner.

these years.

She didn't have to live such a miserable life.

And just then...

A system notification suddenly sounded.

[Changes in the layout of the testing facility]

[The Jia family's status has been elevated]

The power dynamics within the courtyard houses are being reshaped.

[Host's influence increases]

Lin Jian'an's heart stirred slightly.

He suddenly realized.

This time, myself.

I may have unintentionally changed a lot of things.

In the original storyline.

The Jia family has always been considered a "poor household".

But now.

Once the status of the family member of a martyr was revealed.

Many things will happen in the future.

It's different.

Especially the attitude of the street.

Things will definitely change.

And at this time.

Director Wang continued speaking.

"so."

"You'll come with me to the neighborhood committee tomorrow."

"Re-submit the information."

"If it's confirmed that there are no problems."

"There will be appropriate support afterwards."

"Thank you, Director Wang..."

Qin Huairu's voice choked with emotion.

She was genuinely grateful.

Because this means—

The days to come.

Maybe it won't be so difficult after all.

And on the side.

Suddenly, Jia Zhangshi plopped down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

She wiped away her tears.

"Old Jia..."

"Why didn't you tell me in a dream sooner...?"

"Our family has suffered for so many years..."

This time.

The people in the courtyard had mixed feelings.

After all.

No one has it easy.

Especially in this era.

There are too many poor people.

And this moment.

The most awkward one.

Actually, they were three old men.

Especially Yi Zhonghai.

He used to.

The Jia family has always been a key group receiving assistance.

But now.

They were actually family members of martyrs.

That completely changes the nature of the situation.

"Alright."

Yi Zhonghai sighed softly.

"This is a good thing."

"Things will only get better from now on."

That's what I meant.

That's genuine, though.

After all, he and Jia Dongxu had a close relationship.

and.

After seeing those military medals.

He also felt a greater respect for Lao Jia.

And just then...

Director Wang suddenly looked at Lin Jian'an.

His face showed approval.

"Jian'an".

"Thanks to you this time."

"Otherwise, this thing..."

"It might never be discovered."

"Of course."

"You are such a thoughtful child."

She is now interested in Lin Jian'an.

I'm becoming more and more satisfied.

sensible.

clever.

They can also fix things.

The street is closest.

Some people have even made suggestions.

They will be given priority in training in the future.

The system prompted a message.

It rang out again at that moment.

【Ding! 】

[The host has successfully advanced the hidden plot]

[Reward: 100 points]

[New Feature Unlocked: Networking]

[Currently available people to form relationships with:]

[Steel Rolling Mill]

Black Market Channels

See here.

Lin Jian'an's heart was racing.

"It's finally starting."

This system.

It's no longer just about supplies.

Instead, they are building a network of relationships for themselves step by step.

And at this time.

The atmosphere in the courtyard gradually eased.

Everyone started chatting around the radio again.

just.

this time.

The way everyone looked at the Jia family.

It's clearly different now.

Especially those who usually look down on the Jia family.

They've all toned it down quite a bit now.

Because everyone knows that.

Family member of a martyr.

Don't touch it carelessly.

And just then...

Banggeng suddenly sneaked up next to Lin Jianan.

Lower your voice.

"Brother Jian'an".

"Will I be considered a descendant of a martyr from now on?"

"almost."

Holy crap!

Banggeng's eyes lit up instantly.

"So, will Xu Damao be even less likely to mess with me from now on?"

"..."

Lin Jianan almost burst out laughing.

This kid's thought process is truly outrageous.

but.

He suddenly remembered something else.

In the original storyline.

The reason why the story became increasingly distorted later on.

Actually, that's a big reason.

It's just a lack of recognition.

But now.

The Jia family's status has changed.

This child's mentality.

It may change gradually.

Thinking about this...

The system prompted again.

The growth trajectory of the key figure "Bang Geng" has shifted.

Current offset direction: Positive

[Reward: 20 points]

Lin Jian'an was immediately delighted.

"Looks like this kid can really be saved."

And just then...

Outside the courtyard.

Suddenly, a bicycle bell rang.

Followed by.

A young man pushed a cart into the yard.

"Excuse me."

"Who here can fix a radio?"
