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

When Yang Dalin returned to Nanluoguxiang, the people working in the courtyard had not yet left work.

However, some elementary school students had already finished school.

As soon as Yang Dalin entered the courtyard, he saw that the children adopted by Yi Zhonghai were playing hide-and-seek with some other children in the yard.

When Li Guorui, the little boy adopted by Yi Zhonghai, saw Yang Dalin, he put down his game and ran over excitedly.

"Brother Dalin, when did you get back? Why didn't you come to hang out with me? I haven't seen you in ages."

Yang Dalin patted the little guy's head: "Haha, I have to go to work. I'm on a business trip. I didn't get home until after nine o'clock last night. I work every day, how can I have time to play with you?"

Before he could finish speaking, all the kids in the yard who used to play hide-and-seek with Li Guorui came running over, and they stopped playing.

There are several other children adopted by Yi Zhonghai, namely Yi Xiaohong, Yi Xiaopeng, and Yi Xiaotong.

These little ones all look quite well; it seems that Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhonghai are raising these children very well.

The children's clothes were all new and had no patches.

It's clean and tidy, which is good.

There's also Mi Li, Sha Zhu's sister-in-law; Wang Cheng and Wang Cai from Zhang Meiyun's family in the back room; Zhao Xiaoyong, grandson of Uncle Zhao in the east hall; and Zhao Xiaohong, granddaughter.

However, I didn't see Banggeng and Xiaodang from Qin Huairu's family, let alone Xiaohuaihua, who is still breastfeeding.

These children all had a good relationship with Yang Dalin.

Especially Mi Li, who used to be the most persistent to Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin patted the little head and pinched the little cheek.

He pulled a handful of candy from his pocket and gave two pieces to everyone.

I want them to keep playing the game.

As a result, none of them left; they insisted on asking him to tell them stories.

Yang Dalin had no choice but to prop up his car in the front yard, sit in the back seat, and let the little ones surround him.

He told the little ones stories about the Eighth Route Army fighting the Japanese invaders.

Kids these days love listening to these kinds of stories.

Having read countless online novels, Yang Dalin can easily create a story.

He wasn't the kind of person who wasn't good with words.

As he continued speaking, more and more children gathered around him.

All the children from the backyard, middle yard, and front yard came.

There were also older people, like the second and third sons of Yan Bugui's family across the street, who were also standing at the back.

Neighbors who were getting off work early saw Yang Dalin telling a story and didn't interrupt him.

Others stood at the back, listening with great interest.

Yang Dalin's stories are not like those in online novels, where the protagonist is so extraordinary and omnipotent.

He incorporated the terrain of the North China Plain into his story about tunnel warfare.

The movie "Tunnel Warfare" hasn't even been released yet.

It wasn't released until New Year's Day in 66, and one of the lead actors was Mr. Zhu, who played the Buddha in the future Journey to the West.

When Yang Dalin started talking, everyone found it quite interesting.

The main point is to show how clever, resourceful, and brave our vast number of peasants and Eighth Route Army comrades are.

Of course, there will be sacrifices, but also great victories.

Otherwise, if what he said is too outrageous and gets out, he might be criticized.

After a while, Aunt Qi came home from get off work and saw a group of people gathered at her door. She thought something had happened.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yang Dalin telling a story.

He smiled, opened the door, and went inside to cook.

A little while later, Sha Zhu returned, and he wanted to greet Yang Dalin.

He was stopped by his wife, Miya, who was about to give birth to their second child.

He quietly asked, "Where's my son?"

"He's short, so it's hard for me to carry him. He just crawled to the front row to listen to the stories."

"Hey, Dalinzi is really good at storytelling. I didn't expect him to be a storyteller."

I'll definitely ask him to explain it more later.

Mili slapped his hand: "Alright, stop talking, don't disturb my listening to the story."

Sha Zhu chuckled, not annoyed at all, and said, "Okay."

After he finished speaking, Sha Zhu began to listen attentively.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong returned.

Yang Dalin spotted them as soon as they returned, but didn't greet them.

However, it accelerated the development of the story.

None of them go home to cook or eat.

I need to finish quickly; can't you see that quite a few housewives are listening attentively?

When Yi Zhonghai returned and saw so many people at Yang Dalin's house in the front yard, he thought something had happened.

It turned out that Yang Dalin was telling stories about fighting the Japanese devils.

I wasn't in a hurry to go home anymore, and I listened along too.

After another ten minutes or so, Yang Dalin said, "Alright, that's the end of Gao Chuanbao's story."

"Go home and have dinner."

The little ones in the yard are all incredibly energetic.

As soon as Yang Dalin finished speaking, Li Guorui started urging, "Brother Dalin, tell us another one, tell us another one."

What happened next? What happened to Gao Chuanbao?

Did they kill a lot of Japanese soldiers again?

Well, this time I'm going to be bothered by these little guys.

We need to find a way to escape quickly.

Otherwise, these kids would have kept me occupied at home these past few days.

Yang Dalin said, "I heard this on my business trip. That's all I know. You guys should hurry home and have dinner."

When I get back from my next business trip, I'll ask them what happened next, and I'll tell you when I find out.

He didn't know what happened next either; there was only one movie, and there wasn't a second one.

If that doesn't work, next time we'll give them a different story: a railway guerrilla unit or a guerrilla unit operating behind enemy lines.

He had seen the Railway Guerrilla, but he had forgotten a lot of the plot. However, he could still remember some of the stories from a TV series version. He had also seen the Railway Tigers, starring his older brother Cheng. He could combine them later, and if that didn't work, he could add the story of Bullfighting as well.

They could talk for a long time.

He had read the original story of the guerrilla forces behind enemy lines when he was in junior high school.

I vaguely remember some things; if not, I'll just make them up myself.

If all else fails, you can tell me stories from some of the novels about the Anti-Japanese United Army that you've read.

General Yang's story could be told several times.

That's all I can tell them.

We can't talk about the Battle of Shanghai or the Battle of Nanjing right now.

Because those articles mainly focus on the Nationalist Army.

That's all I can say.

Seeing that the group of kids still hadn't left, Yang Dalin had no choice but to take the initiative to greet Yi Zhonghai.

"It's time to get off work, Uncle Yi. Hurry up and bring your little ones home for dinner."

"If we don't leave soon, my mouth will dry out completely."

At this moment, Wen Xiumei also came over. It seemed that she got along well with Li Guorui. She pinched Li Guorui's ear and said, "Hurry up and take your younger siblings home for dinner."

The remaining little ones were reluctant to leave after Li Guorui left.

It seems that Li Guorui is a bit of a natural-born troublemaker.

As he was leaving, the kid shouted, "Brother Dalin, I'll come find you again tomorrow!"

Yang Dalin shivered.

I need to leave home early tomorrow and not stay at home.

He replied, "I'm at work tomorrow, Guorui. Let's talk after I get off work."

To avoid being bothered by the little ones, I had no choice but to lie.

It seems that being too popular isn't always a good thing.
