Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

When Yi Zhonghai first accepted Bang Geng as his godson, he was overjoyed.

But now, Yi Zhonghai no longer feels the same joy he once did.

Because Yi Zhonghai could clearly sense that Bang Geng had the potential to be an ingrate!

If it weren't for Qin Huairu's genuine filial piety, Yi Zhonghai would have severed ties with the Jia family long ago!

Time is the best healer.

As time passed, both Yi Zhonghai and his wife, as well as He Yuzhu, gradually emerged from the grief of the deaf old lady's passing.

It's another weekend.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

Everyone in the courtyard brought out their quilts, mattresses, and clothes to wash and air them out.

Just then, Liu Guangtian excitedly ran in from outside.

Xiao Shan, who was airing out the quilts with Ding Qiunan, looked at Liu Guangtian who suddenly ran back and asked curiously, "Guangtian, what brings you back today?"

"Xiao Shan, I'm a dad!" Liu Guangtian excitedly told Xiao Shan. "My wife just gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy, and I've come to tell my parents the good news!"

Xiao Shan smiled and congratulated, "This is a joyous occasion, Guangtian, congratulations!"

"Now that my nephew has been born, I, as an elder, can't just leave without showing any support. Here's ten yuan, take it and buy some treats for my nephew!"

As he spoke, Xiao Shan took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

Liu Guangtian was in a position to spend money right now, so he didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Shan: "Xiao Shan, I won't be polite with you! When we have time, I'll treat you to a good drink."

"No problem!" Xiao Shan smiled and patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder.

Liu Guangtian rushed into the house and said to Liu Haizhong and his second aunt, "Dad, Mom, my wife gave birth to a big, healthy boy. Come with me to the hospital to see him!"

The second aunt glanced at Liu Haizhong and asked, "Husband, shall we go and take a look?"

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Haizhong slowly said, "We still have to go and see her! Here's what we'll do: you take twenty eggs and go first. It wouldn't be very polite for me, as a father-in-law, to visit my daughter-in-law who just gave birth in the hospital."

"I'll go visit them after they're discharged from the hospital!"

Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Aunt Er couldn't wait to go inside and get the eggs.

Watching Aunt Er excitedly carry a basket of eggs and follow Liu Guangtian out of the yard, Aunt Er's eyes were full of envy.

After Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan took out the quilts, mattresses and other bedding to air them out, they moved a stool and sat in the yard.

I read a book while basking in the sun.

I also lurked in the chat group and watched the people chatting.

At this moment, everyone was helping Liu Bei come up with ideas on how to quickly stabilize the situation in Hanzhong and Liangzhou.

In fact, the situation in Hanzhong has largely stabilized under Zhuge Liang's arrangements.

However, the potential dangers in Liangzhou are too great due to the conflict between the Han and Qiang people!

If this issue is not properly resolved, it might one day be led by Cao Wei and turn into a rebellion.

After some discussion, everyone felt that the key to Liu Bei's success in managing the relationship between the Han and Qiang people in Liangzhou was to win over Ma Chao!

Because Ma Chao had a very high reputation among the Qiang people!

If we can win over Ma Chao, then dealing with the Qiang people will be much easier!

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Uncle, I think that as long as Liangzhou is developed and its people can live a good life, then both Han and non-Han people will actively support and endorse you!"

Liu Bei: "That's true, but Liangzhou has been in decline for many years. How easy is it to develop it?"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "We can grow cotton and develop wool textiles! Anyway, there are basically no barriers to such technology; it could have been done even in the Han Dynasty!"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked the people in the chat group for technical assistance.

After acquiring a wealth of various techniques from the chat group, Liu Bei went to Zhuge Liang to discuss how to promote these techniques in Liangzhou.

The world at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

Seeing the large amount of technology that the chat group provided to Liu Bei, Li Ye also copied these technologies and handed them over to his subordinates to try to promote them in the Guanzhong region.

Of course, for Li Ye now, his most important task is not to promote these technologies, but to take advantage of the fact that Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong are too busy to pay attention to him and deal with the military governors of Sichuan.

It took Li Ye a full year and a half to finally pacify the Sichuan region!

However, as the Sichuan region was pacified, the confidence of Li Ye's men swelled rapidly.

They immediately petitioned Li Ye for permission to send troops to pacify Qian and Nanzhao.

For Li Ye, he was actually reluctant to stretch the battle lines too far at once.

So he asked his question in the chat group, hoping everyone could give him some advice.

Ying Zheng: "Actually, I think that since both Qian and Nanzhao are in chaos right now, we shouldn't miss this opportunity!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "This old Taoist also thinks that what the Qin Emperor said makes sense! Opportunity knocks but once!"

Yue Buqun: "I think the main problem is that the campaign into Sichuan went too smoothly. Many of your soldiers didn't get any merit. If you ask them to stop now, it won't be easy to explain!"

Yue Buqun: "So it would be better to take care of Qian and Nanzhao as well, so that everyone can share in the credit!"

……

Seeing that everyone in the chat group felt they should take the opportunity to seize Qian and Nanzhao, Li Ye readily agreed to their suggestion.

The world of courtyard houses, the city of Beijing.

It was already summer six or seven years ago.

After a heavy rain, many houses in the courtyard started to leak.

That evening, Liu Haizhong convened a meeting with the people in the courtyard to discuss pooling their money to repair the house.

Although not all houses are leaking at the moment, everyone has agreed to contribute money to repair them.

The next morning, Yan Bugui went door-to-door collecting money.

When they received the package from Xiaoshan, it was the last one.

After handing the money to Yan Bugui, Xiao Shan casually asked, "Third Uncle, what's the situation at your school right now?"

"It's a long story! The students aren't attending classes, and school is on holiday." Yan Bugui carefully put the money away. "Sigh, this can't go on forever!"

Xiao Shan laughed and said, "Third Uncle, this is not something ordinary people like us can get involved in. Let's just go with the flow!"

Yan Bugui sighed and looked at Xiao Shan, saying, "By the way, Xiao Shan, there's something you might not know."

"What is it?" Xiao Shan asked Yan Bugui with some confusion.

Yan Bugui said slowly, "Ran Qiuye, who used to come to our courtyard to ask the Jia family for tuition fees, has now been sent to sweep the streets!"

Chapter 361, Liu Guangfu Goes to the Countryside, Liu Haizhong is Dismissed! (Please Subscribe!)

Xiao Shan actually had some impression of this Teacher Ran.

At least within the world of courtyard houses, she was considered a decent person.

"Teacher Ran was such a good person, warm-hearted and knowledgeable, it's a pity..." Yan Bugui said with a somewhat desolate tone.

After watching Yan Bugui leave, Xiao Shan also turned and went into the house.

"Honey, what was Uncle San saying to you just now?" Ding Qiunan asked Xiao Shan with some curiosity as she set the food on the table.

Xiao Shan then told Ding Qiunan about his conversation with Yan Bugui.

"I also have some impression of Teacher Ran; she's indeed a good person!" Ding Qiunan said slowly after listening to Xiao Shan's words. "It's such a pity that she's been relegated to sweeping the streets!"

Xiao Shan picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said, "Let's eat, let's not talk about this anymore!"

After breakfast, Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan went to work at the steel rolling mill together.

In the welding workshop, Xiao Shan, having finished his daily tasks early, read a book while listening to his coworkers chat.

The workers are all talking about how there have been a lot of antique stalls at the Pigeon Market in Beijing lately.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Shan's heart stirred slightly.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've strolled around Pigeon City.

That very night, Xiao Shan secretly went to the Pigeon Market in Beijing, wanting to see what good things were available there.

Soon, Xiaoshan stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner was a young man with a nonchalant attitude.

There weren't many items on the stall, only six in total.

And they were all things from a study.

After a quick glance, Xiao Shan knew that these things were all genuine.

Looking at the young man setting up his stall, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Comrade, how much are these things? I'll take them all!"

"Hey, I didn't expect anyone to actually want this!" The young man looked at Xiao Shan with some surprise. "Ten yuan a piece, no bargaining!"

Xiao Shan pulled out sixty yuan from his pocket and handed it to the young man: "Here you go!"

The young man happily accepted the money Xiao Shan handed him, then packed up all the items from his stall, stuffed them into Xiao Shan's hand, and turned to leave.

Watching the young man leave, Xiao Shan stuffed his things into the backpack in the chat group and continued to wander around Pigeon City.

As for Xiao Shan, he didn't expect these antiques to appreciate in value.

I just happened to have the urge today, so I came to take a look and maybe buy a few things that catch my eye to play with.

After taking a stroll around Pigeon City, Xiao Shan returned to his courtyard, completely satisfied.

At the Intermediate People's Court, He Yuzhu was playing with his three children in front of his house.

"Brother Zhu, it's really lively here!" Xiao Shan said with a smile as he looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked up at Xiao Shan: "Xiao Shan, you're out for a stroll a little later than usual today!"

"Yeah, I took a couple more walks today!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.

It was August of 1967.

Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan had just gotten home from get off work when Liu Guangfu rushed over: "Brother Xiao Shan, my dad asked me to notify everyone to come to the Intermediate People's Court for a meeting!"

Since Liu Guangtian moved out of the courtyard, the task of notifying everyone to hold a meeting has fallen to Liu Guangfu.

"Okay, I understand!" Xiao Shan nodded to Liu Guangfu.

When Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, they found Director Wang of the neighborhood committee talking to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Seeing that almost everyone in the courtyard had arrived, Liu Haizhong said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, almost everyone has arrived!"

"Yes!" Director Wang nodded and looked at everyone present, saying slowly, "The main reason I'm here today is to issue a notice."

"The regulations stipulate that all unemployed youths aged sixteen and above must go to the countryside for training. The vast countryside offers great opportunities!"

"I just did a count with Lao Liu and Lao Yan, and we found that five people in your compound, including Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang, have reached the required age and need to go to the countryside for training!"

"A convoy will be providing transportation to the countryside next month, so please prepare accordingly!"

Upon hearing Director Wang's words, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Qin Huairu also felt a little flustered.

Banggeng is fourteen this year, and in two more years he will have to go to the countryside for training.

The minimum age for working at the steel rolling mill is eighteen, so even if she wanted to arrange for Banggeng to take her place at the steel rolling mill, Banggeng wouldn't be old enough.

"Dad, I don't want to go to the countryside, I don't want to get trained! Why don't you talk to Director Wang and ask him not to send me to the countryside!" Liu Guangfu looked at Liu Haizhong with a mournful face.

Liu Haizhong glared at his son: "You good-for-nothing! Sending you to the countryside for training isn't like sending you to climb mountains of knives. Your dad used to farm in the countryside when he was a kid! Don't embarrass me when you go, or I won't call you my son!"

Liu Haizhong knew very well that he, as the head of the inspection team, was very hated.

There must be many people secretly watching me.

If I don't let Liu Guangfu go to the countryside for training, someone will soon report him to the factory.

Then I'll lose the official position I worked so hard to get!
