Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1346

"Zhang Yu, aren't you going to get off work yet?"

"I still have some work to do, so I guess I'll have to work all night today." Zhang Yu sighed. It was his bad luck as he had just been transferred to be the team leader of a newly formed team and it was a busy time right now.

But in a group of more than 20 people, only half of them are working, and the rest are either interns or people with connections.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu felt a headache again. Getting promoted was supposed to be a very happy thing, but he never imagined that the company was looking for someone to clean up the mess.

"You know that among my subordinates, there are only one or two capable people, and all the work is piled up on me."

"Your group..." Friends who were originally envious of Zhang Yu's promotion now only felt endless sympathy. If he encountered this situation, he would probably rather resign than continue to take the blame here.

"How about I work with you?" Looking at the pile of documents next to Zhang Yu, my friend gritted his teeth and said this.

Zhang Yu was very excited to have someone to help him, but when he looked at the dark circles under his friend's eyes, he thought that he had been working for several days in a row and could finally get off the early shift today.

"Forget it, you should go home quickly. Your sister-in-law is waiting for you at home. You have been busy for several days. Go back and have a rest. I will finish this work in a short while."

Seeing that Zhang Yu didn't seem to be joking, "You really don't need my help? Then I'll leave first."

"Let's go, let's go home quickly. If you don't go home, your daughter won't recognize you."

After his friend left, Zhang Yu made himself a cup of coffee and continued typing on the keyboard.

In fact, he didn't like drinking coffee very much, not to mention that he had no sugar cubes today, but he really couldn't finish the work without drinking it.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt pain in his chest these two days. Rubbing his chest, Zhang Yu thought about finishing the work at hand quickly, taking a day off tomorrow, and going to the hospital for a physical examination. He couldn't get hurt, as he still had to take care of his aunt and uncle in their old age.

Thinking of his aunt's family, Zhang Yu seemed to become motivated and quickly finished the work at hand.

At one o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yu could no longer hold on. He felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, accelerated heartbeat, and dizziness. Two minutes later, Zhang Yu covered his chest and fell down. He never got up again.

The next morning, screams rang out throughout the building, and ten minutes later, ambulances and police cars arrived one after another.

"My condolences!" said the doctor in white to the family members and company leaders waiting at the door.

In today's society, this kind of thing is no longer surprising. Cases of sudden death due to staying up late and working overtime have occurred more and more frequently in recent years, and the victims are getting younger and younger.

It’s just a pity for that young man. He doesn’t look very old and his life has just begun.

Zhang Yu was in a daze as he watched the hospital announce his death. His aunt and uncle, who had raised him, burst into tears upon hearing the news of his death, while his so-called father and stepmother started a scene in the hospital in order to get more compensation...

After that, Zhang Yu completely lost consciousness in the shock, and only after a long time did he sit up from the bed, covering his head.

Looking around, I saw that the room was antique and quite large.

Then a stream of information rushed into his mind, and Zhang Yu slapped his head which was about to explode and fell down again.

After a while, he sat up again and finally figured out what was going on.

I was reborn, reborn in the capital city in 1958.

Although the reason is still unknown, it is a good thing to be able to live again.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think of the past. His parents were not in harmony when he was young and divorced when he was five years old.

When his biological parents were unwilling to have him, his younger aunt and uncle, who came from a poor family, took him away from that cold home and resolutely decided to raise him.

Although he is not a biological son, he has everything his cousins ​​have, and they never treat him as an outsider when it comes to food and clothing.

After my death, my aunt's family would probably be the most saddened. Fortunately, the compensation and the money I saved from my work should be enough to provide for my aunt and uncle in their old age.

As for why he made a will at such a young age, the story goes back a long time ago.

Things are unpredictable and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in their lifetime. Ever since Zhang Yu was disgusted by those so-called mediation programs on TV, he decided to make a will in advance.

Thinking that if he were to pass away in an accident someday, all the assets under his name would belong to his aunt's family, rather than being given away cheaply to that so-called parents, he even spent money to notarize it.

As for the death compensation, as far as Zhang Yu knows, in order to completely get rid of this hot potato, his aunt issued an adoption certificate when she took him away.

This adoption certificate means that the rights and obligations between him and his biological parents are eliminated due to the establishment of the adoption relationship, and those two people naturally will not receive any share of his death compensation.

Even if they win the lawsuit, the two of them will get very little.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had let those two people take advantage of him, he would probably die with regrets.

According to the memory in his mind, the original owner is only 15 years old this year. Because his parents are soldiers, he was raised by his aunt and uncle like himself.

However, his situation is somewhat different from mine.

The original owner's parents were injured in the war and had been married for many years without children. They didn't have the original owner until they were thirty-two or thirty-three years old. Therefore, the four children of my aunt were older than the original owner, and they took good care of the original owner's brother, who had been in poor health since childhood.

The original owner's parents were away from home all year round because of their military service. Perhaps because they felt guilty for not being able to accompany him, they would send half of their salary back to him every month for living expenses, and the other half would be used to maintain their daily life and to support their comrades-in-arms and the families of martyrs.

From the first twenties or thirties to the sixties before his death, he saved a lot over the years.

According to his memory, he dug up a blue brick under the bed and took out a small wooden box. Inside were several bundles of banknotes, two passbooks and five gold bars weighing half a pound.

Not counting the gold bars, there was a total of more than 200 yuan in cash and a savings book with 6000 yuan. In addition to the salary sent back by the original owner's parents over the years, the rest was what the original owner's mother gave him privately one time.

His aunt and uncle opened an account for him to keep the money, and he basically never touched it.

The other passbook contained 2,000 yuan in pension.

The place where he lives now is at the end of the courtyard. It is a house that his parents bought when he was six or seven years old. It has two rooms in total and a storage room of about ten square meters. It is now under his name.

My aunt and uncle's family lived opposite him, in two main rooms and a small side room.

Before this, my cousin lived in the small side room, and the large main room was divided into two. The second and third cousins ​​lived in one room, and the oldest cousin lived in another room with the original owner. It was not until last year when the original owner went to junior high school that he moved out of the eldest cousin's room.

Thinking of how good his aunt's family was to the original owner, and recalling their appearance, Zhang Yu suddenly found that they were eerily similar to his own aunt's family.

Zhang Yu was even more shocked when he saw the original owner's appearance in the mirror. The body in front of him was almost the same as his own when he was a teenager, except that he was thinner and paler due to poor health. Perhaps this was his previous life.

"Xiao Yu, does your head still hurt?" A middle-aged woman pushed the door open.

Zhang Yu looked at the face in front of him, which was extremely similar to his aunt in his previous life, and became more convinced that this should be his previous life.

"One more thing." Looking at the concern on his aunt's face, Zhang Yu suddenly felt much more at ease.

"You're lucky this time. Let's see if you dare to play with them again in the future."

After listening to his aunt's words, Zhang Yu also recalled the reason for his injury.

There are many courtyard houses nearby, and a considerable number of these courtyard houses are the houses of former government officials, military officers, and impoverished aristocrats of the late Qing Dynasty.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, for various reasons, those who could afford to escape ran away with their gold, silver, valuables and concubines, and the houses were naturally confiscated.

Later, these houses were allocated to factory workers for rent. As more people lived there, more problems arose. This time, it was because the children in Zhang Yu's courtyard had a conflict with the children in the courtyard next door. When they started fighting, the original owner who was passing by was affected.

After being knocked down, the original owner hit his forehead on the stone steps at the door, and he never woke up again.

"I know, aunt. I will definitely be more cautious in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes. Be more careful in the future and hide when you see danger. You are the only child in our Zhang family. If anything happens to you, I will be heartbroken. How can I explain to my brother and sister-in-law?" After watching him finish taking the medicine, Zhang Guifang tucked in the quilt for him and then went out with peace of mind.

Because of the medicine, Zhang Yu fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, a "ding" sound woke him up, and a mechanical voice rang in his ears: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sign-in system."

"You haven't signed in today. Do you want to sign in?"

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment. This was his golden finger arriving!

"Ding, this sign-in will get a newcomer bonus, do you want to sign in?"

"Sign in, sign in!" Zhang Yu came to his senses and hurriedly turned on the flashlight that his aunt had placed next to his pillow because she was worried that he would fall when getting up in the middle of the night. The flashlight illuminated the clock next to it. It was already 11:58 in the evening. If he hesitated any longer, he probably wouldn't be able to sign in today.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received a rare reward: a fragment of the secret space, 50 yuan in cash, kilograms of black pork, and kilograms of rice." The moment the system voice sounded, he seemed to see an unknown space, which contained a crystal fragment, five brand new ten-yuan cash bills, pork and rice.

According to the novels he had read before, this must be the system space. Among these things, the one that interested him most was the fragments of the secret space.

Thinking of this, he took out the crystal-like fragment and asked directly: "System, how do I open the secret realm?"

After asking several times, the system was still silent. It seemed that it was just a sign-in system without intelligence. Thinking of this, Zhang Yu felt relieved. He might not be able to tolerate an intelligent creature active in his mind and possibly sensing everything about him.

According to the novels I read before, I should now swear allegiance to my master by dripping blood.

Zhang Yu bit his fingertips but didn't break them. Touching the gauze on his forehead, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. He then peeled back the gauze a little and pressed the crystal on the wound on his forehead that was still bleeding.

As the crystal gradually melted into liquid and entered his body, he suddenly saw a space that was about 10 meters long, wide and high. After a careful inspection, although it was not a place for planting as described in the novel, the space inside was static. The most important thing was that the space was rooted in his soul. As long as his soul was immortal, he would be able to possess it forever and there was no need to worry about the space disappearing inexplicably.

Looking at the space in front of him, Zhang Yu thought about it, then dug up the blue bricks under the bed again and stuffed the box containing the money into the space. It was the safest place to put it.

The next day, the sun outside shone on his face, making him feel warm. Zhang Yu gradually woke up and took a breath of the fresh air of the 50s, feeling refreshed.

There was a noisy sound and knocking on the door, "Xiaoyu, are you awake?"

"Awake, aunt." Zhang Guifang pushed the door open and saw her nephew leaning against the bed. Although he looked a little pale, he looked much more energetic. She was relieved. She was scared these two days. Not long after her brother and sister-in-law were buried, her nephew also had an accident. Now when she thinks of the scene of the accident, her heart is still in knots. Not to mention that her nephew is the only blood of the Zhang family, she has loved him since he was a child, and loves him more than her own son. She really can't let go of her worries for a moment.

As they were talking, the room was crowded with people. The middle-aged man in the lead was holding eggs and cakes in his hands, and he bent his waist slightly: "Guifang, how is the child? I just found out about this today, Shazhu, hurry up and apologize to your Aunt Guifang."

"Aunt Guifang, how is brother Xiaoyu? This is all my fault. I didn't see Xiaoyu when the fight broke out that day and accidentally pushed him down." A young man next to the old man touched his head in a daze, his face flushed.

Then a group of people apologized one after another, and he also extracted some information from these words.

Sha Zhu, from hearing the name "Ya Ye" to "Sha Zhu", Zhang Yu suddenly had a bad feeling. He was probably not reborn in normal history, but in a courtyard full of historical plots.

Zhang Yu felt overwhelmed just thinking about the gossips in the courtyard. Then he turned around and secretly felt lucky that he had not been reborn in the courtyard next door, because life would be really chaotic if he was reborn in the courtyard next door.

From memory, I know that the neighborhood relations in the courtyard where he lives now are relatively harmonious. When he was injured that day, several neighbors in the courtyard took turns carrying him to the hospital.

In the hospital, except for the families of employees, all other residents are families of retired military personnel. Both in terms of quality and neighborhood relations, they are much better than the hospital next door.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether he was a lover or a beast,
