The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

"You little rascal, you're thinking pretty far ahead."

"You're not even eighteen yet, not even an adult, and you've already planned out houses for your next two generations."

Yang Dalin spread his hands, feigning innocence, and said, "There's nothing I can do about it."

Although I have an aunt, you know Sheng-ge.

I am actually an orphan now.

My ancestors must have hoped that I would have many children and grandchildren, and that I would spread my family line and make it prosperous.

Then I definitely want to have more children, so that my sons can have more grandchildren and my daughters can have more grandchildren.

The space is too small; it definitely won't be enough to live in in the future.

I'm planning ahead for what will happen after I die.

For the sake of future generations' well-being.

Brother Sheng, just tell your superiors that.

If one first-class merit or one special-class merit is not enough to buy a house, then save them for later.

I'll exchange them all after I've accomplished a few more great feats.

This is just my initial idea, and there's no rush.

This is to give you some breathing room, and also to prevent you from worrying so much about me achieving more merits in the future.

"Alright, alright, I think you've got a really good idea."

"Alright, I'll do as you say and report it to the higher-ups. If this isn't enough credit, we'll save it for later and reward you with a big house, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Sheng."

"Come on, Brother Sheng, try some of the local cigarettes I brought."

Qi Da Gou Xiong has no idea how valuable a three- or five-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) will be in Beijing in the future.

If you have a good location, it could be worth at least ten small goals in the future.

Others buy things with money, but I earn them through hard work. Isn't that great?

Once they actually get the big courtyard, they can continue to use their achievements to get the government's repair team to fix their houses for free.

It's better than not knowing what to reward yourself with.

After chatting with Qi Desheng for a while, they went to the repair shop to see Ma San'er.

Tell him to go to his new house after get off work and meet him there so they can go home together.

He needed to go to the hospital first to visit his master, Tian Xueyi, and Brother Xiao Wan.

Captain Wang stopped him as he was leaving, exchanged the fruit and local specialties he had brought back for money, and gave it to him.

Yang Dalin left his workplace and released his bicycle.

Two nets have been added to the handlebars.

Riding towards the railway hospital.

This time, Qi Desheng didn't give him three days off, only one day.

Let Yang Dalin rest for a day tomorrow and come back to work as soon as possible.

With three fewer drivers in the team, there's still a lot of work to do.

Let him rest more when he has more free time later.

Yang Dalin wasn't actually tired, so it didn't matter if he rested a few less days.

Anyway, he gets a salary and a travel allowance for helping Director Hou carry out his mission.

So be it, I'll just go to work.

I haven't driven for many days, and I really want to drive again.

Yang Dalin arrived at the railway hospital.

I asked a nurse about the ward.

They found a small hospital room with only two people, where Master Tian Xueyi and Brother Wan Xiaoshan were bragging to each other.

As soon as Yang Dalin knocked on the door, Tian Xueyi looked up and exclaimed, "Oh my, my eldest apprentice is back!"

Come in quickly, come in quickly.

It seems that Tian Xueyi's problem is not serious.

Wearing a hospital gown, he reached out to take Yang Dalin's things.

Wan Xiaoshan, on the other hand, was half-lying on the hospital bed.

He was shot twice in the chest, which was much more serious than what Brother Tian was shot once in the shoulder.

However, judging from their expressions, they both seemed to be doing well.

Yang Dalin closed the ward door behind him and came in. Tian Xueyi immediately asked him, "Have you caught the mastermind behind this?"

Yang Dalin nodded: "Yes, not a single one escaped."

Tian Xueyi patted him with the hand on his uninjured shoulder: "Okay, that's good."

Great revenge.

Did you hear that, Xiaoshan?

Wan Xiaoshan smiled and said, "I heard you, Brother Tian."

Thank you very much, Dalinzi.

"Hey, don't be so polite, Brother Xiaoshan. If you hadn't covered my shift and driven for me, you wouldn't have been able to endure this hardship."

Wan Xiaoshan waved his hand: "No, Dalinzi, that's not how it is."

Dalinzi, don't blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you.

Nobody expected this.

These are all tasks assigned by the leaders on short notice; nobody wants to be like this.

Besides, I've actually turned misfortune into a blessing, and I'll even get a third-class merit award.

I still get paid while recovering from my injury, and the nutritional supplements are all provided by my company. I've even gained weight during this time, and they'll give me a raise when I get back.

I have to thank you.

Seeing the sincerity in Wan Xiaoshan's words, Yang Dalin knew that this guy was someone who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and someone he could befriend.

It's really lucky that I didn't encounter any unreasonable people.

However, most of the team members are veterans or outstanding activists.

Most of them are actually quite easy to get along with.

However, I estimate that in a few years, the people here will not be so pure, and there will be more people who like to cause trouble.

Especially after the wind picks up.

Those ten years were truly a time of chaos and monsters.

It has also caused many pure people to have their inner demons crawl out.

Yang Dalin asked the two men again, and both of them said they hadn't informed their families yet.

So he had his employer lie to his family and say he was going on a long-distance trip.

Brother Tian is planning to be discharged from the hospital once his injuries have healed sufficiently.

He's actually close to being discharged from the hospital.

He also instructed Yang Dalin not to let anything slip.

Don't go to his house these next few days.

He'll be discharged in a few days, then we'll go again.

Wan Xiaoshan was also planning to wait until he felt better for a while before telling his family that he was sick and had undergone minor surgery.

We'll notify the family then.

Because Wan Xiaoshan needs to be raised for a very long time, it must be raised for two or three months.

A long-distance trip lasting a month or two is fine, but if you don't contact your family for two or three months, they'll start to worry.

Yang Dalin temporarily agreed to their requests.

He indicated that he would send more nutritional supplements.

Yang Dalin picked up the fruit net and pointed it out to the two people.

Introducing these fruits that are not commonly found in the South.

Unexpectedly, Brother Tian picked up a pomelo and started peeling it by digging his hand into the peel.

He had obviously eaten it before. After all, Brother Tian has been driving a sports car for so long that even if he hasn't been to Fujian Province, he must have heard of it.

Unlike Qi Desheng, who immediately became an office worker upon his return.

Naturally, there are many things he doesn't know.

Yang Dalin told his two older brothers about Qi Desheng eating pomelo peel.

Both of them were laughing so hard their wounds hurt.

Yang Dalin added, "I've brought a lot of fruit with me."

I'll send some to my two older brothers' homes instead.

Let's just say we're not running the same route, okay? Otherwise, with this hot weather, I'm afraid it won't keep and might spoil.

Both of them advised Yang Dalin that it was really unnecessary, as they thought he hadn't brought much, yet he brought two large bags of things to the hospital to visit them.

There's really no need to send any more to their house.

Fruits are so expensive in the south these days.

Two bags of fruit are quite a lot.

Wan Xiaoshan, in particular, was not that familiar with Yang Dalin, and he was afraid that Yang Dalin would feel guilty and spend too much money.

Wan Xiaoshan thought he should save on his own food and bring most of the bag of food that Yang Dalin had brought home later.

Yang Dalin was impressed by Wan Xiaoshan's politeness.

He had no choice but to say, "Alright, I won't go to your two places for now. You can eat whatever you want."

I really brought back quite a lot of those; I'll put some of them in my cellar first.

When you're ready to see your family, let me know, and I'll give you some more. You can give them to your family yourself and say you brought them back yourself.

To save money, you have to make up lies that don't hold water.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate to say you went on a business trip, didn't bring anything back, and were gone for so many days.

Saying that they went to the south of the motherland, which is too far and takes too long to travel, is understandable.
