Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 24 Introduction
"Erheng, I heard that you have been assigned to work at the waste station?"

"Yes, Uncle Fang, the sub-district office." He didn't say that this is the unit he picked.

"Do you want uncle to find a relationship for you and change the unit?"

"No need, Uncle, a revolutionary soldier can move a brick wherever it is needed, and work everywhere. It's good here."

"Okay, since you have this awareness, then do it well. By the way, Erheng, do you have someone to talk to?"

"No, I've only been back for about 20 days, how could it be so fast."

"That's right, ask your aunt to introduce one to you later."

"It's Erheng, tell your aunt about your conditions, and I'll pick one for you later."

Mother Fang worked at the Women's Federation, so it was very easy for Li Heng to find a wife.

Fang Xiaoya, who had just walked to the door and was about to lift the curtain to come in, heard the conversation inside, her movements froze, but she returned to normal in a flash, opened the curtain and walked in, and went to help her mother.

"Aunt Fang, I don't have any conditions, just know how to live."

"How can you do it if you don't have the conditions? You are also a cadre anyway. Wait, auntie will help you find one."

"Hey, then I'll thank you first, Aunt Fang."

He promised so happily that Fang's father and Fang's mother couldn't help but relax.

Otherwise, they are really a little worried.

It's not that they look down on Li Heng and don't want him to be a son-in-law, but that things can't be done like this. She was originally my brother's fiancée, but now she's gone, and she's married to my brother. What's that?
After Fang Xiaoqing put down the vat just now, he has been standing at the door of the back room without speaking, just looking at this side.

After his sister came in, he looked at his sister, then at Brother Li who was sitting there talking to his father, his eyes rolled around a few times, he pretended to sigh deeply and shook his head.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when I left Fang's house.

There is no one in the alley, and everyone has already entered the house to wash and get ready to rest at this point.

Wait for another two or three months, and when the weather is completely hot, it will be a lively time outside at this point. Adults sit in a pile to enjoy the shade and chat, and a group of children in the alley will run around and play.

In the yard, the old man walked from the vertical flower gate to the front yard. Seeing that the lights of Li's house were still off, he was about to go back when Li Heng came out from behind the screen wall.

"Erheng, you're back."

"It's the uncle. I just went to sit at an uncle's house for a while." Hearing the voice, Li Heng noticed the person standing by the hanging flower gate.

"You're fine right now, Er Heng."

"Uh...no, sir, are you waiting for me on purpose?"

It was only then that Li Heng realized that the emotional family had come to look for him on purpose.

"Yeah, I want to talk to you."

"Ah, sir, please come in and sit down."

On the opposite side of the third grandfather's house, the third mother heard the movement in the yard and looked outside through the gap in the curtains.

"Old Yan, what do you think Lao Yi is waiting for Erheng on purpose?"

"How do I know that." Yan Bugui was already lying on the bed at this time, he thought for a while and continued: "Maybe he wants to tell Erheng some rules in the yard."

"It's true, he has never seen Lao Yi when he came here twice before."

Hearing this, the third mother also stopped watching the excitement, and sat down on the bed again.

"Ruihua, don't come up in a hurry, is everyone in the courtyard back?"

"Almost."

"Then go and lock the door."

"What time is it? Isn't it a bit early to lock now?" The third mother looked up at the clock on the table in front of the window, it was a quarter to nine.

"Since they are all here, lock the door in advance, so as to save you from thinking about it later."

"That's okay..." The third mother thought about it for a while, so she put on her cloth shoes again, put on her coat and walked outside.

After locking the door, he took a special look at the opposite door. The door was closed, and two figures could be seen faintly.

In the opposite room, Li Heng invited Yi Zhonghai to sit opposite him, took out a cigarette from his bag and handed him a cigarette.

"Master, if you have something to say, just say it."

After Yi Zhonghai lit the cigarette in his hand, he took a puff and said, "This is Er Heng. You have been in the army before, and you have never lived in a yard like ours. I mainly want to tell you about some things in our yard. If something happens in the future, you will know how to deal with it.”

"You said, I'm listening."

"Cough... There are three entrances in our yard, and there are ten households in total, including the widowed old lady who lives in the backyard. You should know all of this."

Seeing Li Heng nodded, he continued: "Our three uncles, Yan Bugui in the front yard is the third uncle, the middle court is me, my name is Yi Zhonghai, and the second uncle in the back yard is Liu Haizhong. The three of us are all of us. The residents in the courtyard are jointly elected.

The purpose is to help everyone create a harmonious living atmosphere. If there are any big or small things in the yard, we can also help coordinate and deal with them. If we can't handle them, we will naturally report them to the neighborhood committee.

Another point is to organize a group of people to prevent and control the group, and jointly resist foreign lawbreakers.With the joint efforts of everyone in the past few years, our yard has been selected by the neighborhood committee as a five-good compound all the year round. "

Having said that, he stopped, took a sip of the water Li Heng poured for him, and then said: "I said this to tell you that if there is anything in the yard in the future, please tell the three of us first." Now, there are so many people living in our yard, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps between neighbors, and it is not a big deal, it can be resolved in private, there is no need to go to the neighborhood committee and make outsiders laugh at us for nothing."

The reason why Yi Zhonghai came to talk to them was that Li Heng's identity made them a little embarrassed.

If it's just an ordinary cadre, it's okay to say, but he is a leader, big or small, or a unit under the jurisdiction of the sub-district office. He may return to the sub-district office to work someday. For the three uncles, this kind of person is not easy to manage.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to come and talk, hoping that the other party would support their work.

Li Heng smiled slightly after listening, he understood.

"Master, you are overthinking. Since I live in our yard and the three of you were elected by everyone, I will definitely obey the management. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

It doesn't matter whether what people said is true or not, at least I made a statement in front of you, which also made the uncle feel relieved a little.

Now he only hopes that Li Heng's personality can be the same as his father and his younger brother Li Yuan, honest and easy to talk.

Next, Yi Zhonghai introduced the residents in the yard one by one, and the details were very detailed, but there was also a meaning revealed in the words, that is, everyone is a neighbor and should help each other.
