There are four members of the Yang family. Yang Xinqiao, who is lame in one leg, lives with his sick daughter-in-law, Yang Hanshi, and their two and a half-year-old children.
Uncle Yang's legs were lame due to being beaten by a small book.
On weekdays, Uncle Yang earns some change by repairing, repairing, and shining shoes for others to support his livelihood.
Aunt Yang is in poor health and takes medicine frequently. She cannot do any heavy work and can only cook, wash clothes and take care of the children at home.
There are two children, the eldest is a girl named Yang Laidi. The 9-year-old is very sensible and often helps her mother with work at home and takes care of her younger brother.
Six-year-old Yang Gangqiang has been a carefree person since he was born.
Back then, when his mother Yang Han was about to give birth to him.
His father ran out to call the midwife. When he was almost there, he knocked down a drunk soldier.
Then he was beaten severely and walked away after the beating. Finally, Uncle Yang crawled to the midwife's house.
The midwife first helped Uncle Yang to the hospital, then turned around and came to Yang's house before delivering the baby to Aunt Yang.
During her confinement period, Aunt Yang had to not only take care of her children but also take care of the injured Uncle Yang. Because she did not sit properly during confinement period, the root cause of her illness began to develop.
Even though Yang Gangqiang was only six years old, he was a stubborn boy. He often beat up the three little boys in the front yard, Ma Fulai, Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangtian in the back yard, crying loudly.
…
Zheng Zhendong wiped his newly washed feet, poured out the foot washing water, and sat in the living room waiting for Zheng's mother to come back.
After waiting for a while, Zheng's mother opened the door and came in. Seeing that her son was not sleeping yet, she asked.
"Third brother, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Mom! Director Ma, what did you say when you were left here?" Zheng Zhendong asked quickly.
"Children, Jiajia, why are you doing such good things?"
Zheng's mother first scolded Zheng Zhendong, and then said.
"This is not in the backyard. Mrs. Lin is old and has no children. Let us take more care of her!"
"Oh! That's what happened! Did you agree? Mom!"
Zheng Zhendong looked at Zheng's mother who was washing and said.
"Hey! It's not a big deal. I agreed with you." Zheng's mother wiped her face and said.
After hearing this, Zheng Zhendong asked in confusion.
"Hear what you mean! Did you and Yi Zhonghai agree? Did Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui agree?"
"You kid! Why are you calling your elders by their first names? There are no rules!" Mother Zheng first scolded Zheng Zhendong and then said.
"Your second uncle and third uncle's family are not in good condition, so they didn't dare to agree because they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to take care of the old lady."
"Tsk! These two people are really thieves! Now they are playing tricks." Zheng Zhendong said disdainfully.
"I'm talking about the third child! What's going on with you today? Why are you complaining so much!
It's completely different from your usual style! How did I teach you to be dignified when doing things, look at you now..." Zheng's mother caught Zheng Zhendong and gave him a slap in the face.
Zheng Zhendong smiled bitterly. He couldn't tell his mother that he had traveled from the next generation.
After watching the TV series, I know that there are no good people in this courtyard, so it is nicknamed the Qinman Siheyuan by netizens.
While the Zheng family's mother and son were talking, other families in the courtyard were also talking about it.
Yan's house in the front yard, Yan Bugui returned home.
He said excitedly to his wife Yang Ruihua.
"Damn it! You saw it! I am quite prestigious in this courtyard. Now I am becoming the third master."
"Yes! After all, you are a scholar and respected by others. Isn't it right that I choose you?"
Yang Ruihua first agreed and then asked.
"Old Yan! What did Director Ma say when he left you behind?"
"Hey! Director Ma asked a few of us to take care of Old Mrs. Lin in the backyard, but I pushed her away!" Yan Bugui said.
"Just push it, Lao Yan! You are really good. We don't do anything that is hard and thankless."
Yang Ruihua first let out a sigh of relief, and then asked again.
"Who took over this job?"
Yan Bugui replied: "Lao Yi and Lao Zheng's family of the Intermediate Court!"
"What's the story here?" Yang Ruihua asked curiously.
“There’s a lot of learning here!”
Yan Bugui pretended to be profound, and then continued to speak to the third aunt Yang Ruihua.
"Let me ask you, how old is Mrs. Lin?
She has no children, so who will leave the house to her in a hundred years?
Lao Yi's family has no children, who will provide for him in his old age?
How many sons does Lao Zheng have? Is the house enough to live in?
…There’s a lot going on here!”
The third aunt, Yang Ruihua, was stunned when she heard this. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and ask hurriedly.
"Old Yan, you said, Mrs. Lin's house in the backyard..."
Before the third aunt could finish speaking, Yan Bugui quickly interrupted.
"Okay! I just thought about it. It's not worth it if we can't fight. Our family won't participate and let them fight. It's getting late, go to bed!"
After saying that, Yan Bugui entered the bedroom, followed by the third aunt, who was full of doubts and wanted to talk about it.
But Yan Bugui refused, saying that this was the end of the matter.
Then the two took off their clothes and went to bed.
Looking back at the Jia family, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were sitting by the kang respectively, while old Jia Jia Fugui was lying on the kang.
Jia Zhang, who was sitting on the right side of the kang, spoke angrily.
"Old Jia! You said your accident happened at the wrong time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to be a great man!"
Jia Fugui coughed a few times, and then said weakly.
"Okay, this matter is over. What our family is now thinking about is how to live our lives in the future!
Dongxu! You learn your skills from Yi Zhonghai, he has good skills."
Jia Dongxu quickly promised: "Dad! Don't worry! I will study hard, but I'm afraid he won't teach me."
"It's okay. You should be sweeter in your mouth, be more agile in your work, and flatter him more!"
After teaching his son, Jia Fugui thought about it and said harshly.
"If it doesn't work out, just accept him as your godfather and support him in his old age."
"Lao Jia, do you really want our Dongxu to support him in his old age?" asked Jia Zhang unhappily.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Let Dongxu learn skills first. Whether we can support him in old age or not depends on our Dongxu's mood. At worst, he just doesn't recognize it when the time comes!"
Jia Fugui, who had a gloomy face, thought for a while and said.
"Dongxu's mother, our Dongxu is not young anymore.
It’s time to find him a wife. Tomorrow you go to the Wang family next door.
Ask Sister-in-law Wang if there is a suitable girl and introduce one to Dongxu."
…
The three of them chatted for a long time, and then Jia Dongxu went to sleep in the outer room. The old Jia couple muttered for a long time before going to bed.
The He family, father and son, returned home.
He Daqing, who looked unhappy, spoke.
"Silly Zhu! I heard that you invited the Zheng brothers and sisters to dinner today?"
After hearing what his father said, Silly Zhu said with a big grin.
"Hey!"
"You don't know!"
"This brother Dongzi is really not an ordinary person!
"I reviewed the dishes I cooked one by one, and they were very clear and logical."
"Hey! You are really not an ordinary person."
He Daqing listened to Sha Zhu's words, thought for a while and spoke.
"In this case, let's do good things with him."
Okay, go to bed!
You have to get up early tomorrow to learn how to cook. If you can’t get up, I’ll sit down for a while.”
Then he turned to He Yuyu and said.
"Yu Yu, you should go back to the house and sleep too!"
He Yuyu stood up, said good night to He Daqing, and went back to the penthouse to sleep.
He Daqing was very depressed when he thought about his failure in the election tonight. He sat on the stool for a long time before going to bed.
The Yi family couple were sitting in the living room, and Yi Zhonghai was sitting at the table, drinking tea and speaking.
"Xiulian!"
"Let me tell you something, Mrs. Lin in the backyard,"
You should take more care of her on weekdays, wash her clothes, help her buy things, and chat with her."
Aunt Yi, who was sitting on the other side and busy with needlework, spoke.
"OK!"
"Anyway, you are idle, so you should accumulate virtue and do good deeds."
"But Lao Yi, why did you arrange it like this today?"
Hearing Aunt Yi ask this question, Yi Zhonghai quickly explained.
"Isn't this Director Ma? Arrange for us to take more care of it, Mrs. Lin!"
"Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui quit, so my sister-in-law from the Zheng family next door and I took over the job!"
"Besides, I am also setting an example for the young people in the courtyard. After all... stop talking and go to sleep!"
After saying that, he got up and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
Aunt Yi, watching Yi Zhonghai return to the bedroom, her face filled with tears, thought that it was all because of the lack of children... Oh!
Aunt Yi cried secretly for a long time before she got up and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
In the backyard of the Xu family, the four members of the family have returned home since the election.
As soon as he returned home, a sullen Xu Youfu sat on a chair and spoke.
"Tonight, our family will be embarrassed and disgraced."
"I'm furious,"
"I wish you good luck to my neighbors in the courtyard,"
"Which one is not to greet you with a smile and be polite?"
"Why did you lose to Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, these three idiots?"
Aunt Xu, who was flushing the water, hurriedly advised
"Dad, don't be angry. If you didn't choose, you didn't choose!"
This job is not very rewarding, and I don’t know why you guys want to be in charge so much!”
After hearing this, Xu Youfu quickly scolded.
"As a woman, what do you know?"
"As a steward, I can deal with the streets,"
When I have nothing to do, I run around on the streets and get on good terms with the people on the streets."
"In the future, no matter what good things happen or whether the children find jobs in the future, our family will have more opportunities."
After hearing what Xu Youfu said, Aunt Xu and Xu Damao, who was studying with the screening materials, both showed shocked expressions.
"father!"
"Do we still have a chance?"
No, you go give Director Ma some gifts and ask her to withdraw one tomorrow so you can take over!"
Xu Damao put down the information in his hand and said anxiously.
Xu Youfu cursed at his son.
"idiot!"
"How could I have given birth to such a stupid thing like you? You have no brains at all!"
Aunt Xu quickly advised: "Old Xu, don't scold your son for now. Damao is still young. You should teach him more."
Looking at Xu Damao who looked dissatisfied, Xu Youfu said.
"Xu Damao, don't be dissatisfied,"
"I'm telling you, you asked me to give gifts,"
"Let's not talk about whether Director Ma can accept it!"
"Just say, tonight, just after the selection, the three of them made no mistakes, so they withdrew the people,"
"Isn't this just a slap in the face of the leader?"
"Official!"
"The most taboo thing is to change orders overnight and lose prestige."
