The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 101
There is a large room left in the east and west compartments. The windows are almost full and the light is very good. This should have been there before.

Of these two rooms, one is for Shazhu and the other is reserved for the eldest sister and the others as a gym. Strengthening the mind is secondary now, while strengthening the body is the first priority.

This way, if they can't fight, they can at least run away; if they can't run, they can at least resist. In case of emergency, they can still have some ability to protect themselves.

After explaining to the youngest and eldest sister of the Zhang family, Chen Jisheng turned back to the courtyard again, rode on his big national defense, and headed for Beixinqiao.

I found the director, Lao Liu, at the trust store in Beixinqiao. Chen Jisheng got straight to the point and wanted to find a batch of exercise equipment.

There was nothing suitable here in Beixinqiao, except for a pair of self-made dumbbells. Chen Jisheng didn't mind and asked Lao Liu to continue to help find them.

After Lao Liu reminded me, I called Lao Ma again. He did have some new dumbbells and barbells, but they were not a complete set.

Nowadays, most of the fitness equipment is made by oneself. Steel is a commodity in short supply. Although there are manufacturers of fitness equipment, not many are purchased.

After greeting the two of them, the things were sent to the yard of the scrapyard. Chen Jisheng got more than half a bundle of cables nearly three fingers thick from Lao Liu.

The equipment is not enough, so they can only ask Shazhu and the others to make some themselves, otherwise they can go to the steel rolling mill to customize them.

Lao Zhong can definitely get it from there, but Lao Zhong is a good person, and it’s not good for him to know too much about some things, as this will make it easier for him to figure out his character.

Returning to the house in Sesame Hutong, Shazhu and the others also came back. There was a man-powered cart parked in the courtyard, with many small millstones and the like on it.

"Brother, it's killing me. I heard from the third brother that you want a big house. Which one do you want?"

Silly Zhu stuck out his tongue tiredly, and Chen Jisheng was also a little excited. He gave Lao San Zhang some change and asked him to buy popsicles and soda.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jisheng pointed to the large room in the west wing. Exercise usually takes place in the morning, and the light in the west room is better.

"Brother, the wrestling ground requires a lot of fine soil. I ordered it from outside. I bought it and shipped it for about ten yuan."

Zhang Yong also told Shazhu on the way that he had to pay for the things he bought, but Shazhu didn't act stupid at this time and came to pay the bill directly.

"Okay, I'll also buy some pots and pans. I don't need the tables and chairs. I have them! I'll give the money to my second son, Zhang Yong, and I can buy what I need. You don't have to save money for me."

After giving Silly Zhu an answer, Chen Jisheng went to the main room to take a look again. The eldest sister and the others were also sweating profusely from working, but they were enjoying themselves watching them talking and laughing.

Chen Jisheng found the house of Qin San'er's house a bit strange. Although running water was later provided, there was an old-fashioned windlass well in the small cabin in the corner of the house.

The hut is in the northwest corner. It should have been repaired together when the house was built. This thing is also weird. The well is still in use. I don’t know who left half a bucket of water by the side of the well.

I tasted the well water in the barrel, and it was indeed similar to the legend. The water was a bit astringent, not good water, but it was still drinkable.

Chen Jisheng looked behind him, held on to the windlass frame, and scanned the well wall a few times.

The well in the house was like a black hole, with no reflection from the water, let alone a clear view of the well walls.

I returned to the yard and took a closer look. There should be no dark rooms or secret rooms, but it was hard to tell with the wall.

The walls of this house are thick. If you dig out or leave a wall between them, it will be difficult to find it without looking carefully.

He stomped the ground in the yard a few times, and there was a stone there. Obviously, it was impossible to find out whether there was a secret room underneath. Old Liu had to take a look at this matter.

Even if the secret room is found, it may be empty. After all, Aunt Zhao said that this is the ancestral property of Qin Saner's family, and it can be regarded as a large item that has been inherited in an orderly manner.

I wandered around the house until four o'clock and found nothing unusual. Gu Ting and Chen Xiaobao came back, each carrying a camphor wood box.

"Where did you two buy these books?"

Looking at the old camphor wood box, it is obvious that it is an old object with age. Xinhua Bookstore will definitely not give such a thing.

These two are also able to touch each other, and I don’t know which corner of the second-hand item was picked up by others.

"I have a classmate's second-hand books. There are not many bookstores you want, so it's better to have all the second-hand books."

Gu Ting had a smug look on his face, obviously showing off his capable side. Chen Sanhuzi was getting hit every day, as if he was not among the number.

Seeing Gu Ting showing off, Chen Jisheng didn't hit him again. Young people always have their own pride, and if the blow is too deep, they lose confidence.

"This is for you. If there is something missing in the yard, take Xiaobao to buy it. Remember not to give him any change.

Also, don't take the eldest sister and the others out casually. If you want to go out, you must take Zhang Yong, the second eldest son, and Zhang Chong, the third eldest son of the Zhang family in the courtyard, with you.

I'll bring your stuff with me too. If there's a problem, I'll give it to Zhang Yong and you can run away with it, remember!You and Xiaobao are not allowed to interfere! "

He reached into his pocket and took out 200 yuan, as well as some food stamps and meat stamps. As soon as they were handed to Gu Ting's hand, the two sisters had spent a lot of money and should make up for it.

At the same time, Chen Jisheng also emphasized travel discipline to Gu Ting. During the summer vacation, he didn't want these people to go out and fool around, but who could stop them?
Nowadays, these people only go out to watch movies and visit parks, and these places are precisely the gathering places for big boys and street gangsters.

Once there is a fight, this group of people will be able to talk about it if they are there, but if they are not, Gu Ting and Chen Xiaobao are obviously the best sheep on the market.

"I have the money!"

Gu Ting had his own pride and pushed the money ticket back, looking at Chen Jisheng with a firm look on his face.

"There are nine of us in total. Please come to Dong Lai Shun tonight!"

Chen Jisheng's reply was also extremely simple. Just ask for the money, and Gu Ting easily put the money into his pocket.He looked at Chen Jisheng awkwardly and smiled, but his embarrassment was laced with bitterness. Gu Ting understood this well.

"Virtue! We will not distinguish between each other soon. If you give it to you, you will take it. If you don't take the money, you will be inferior."

What Chen Jisheng meant was to ease Gu Ting's embarrassment. He never thought that this kid was obedient and obedient, so he directly focused on not distinguishing between each other.

"Fuck, I'm not here for a moment, why did you put my eldest sister to sleep? Are you a wild dog?"

Gu Ting, with red eyes, did not immediately find trouble with Chen Jisheng. Instead, he rushed directly into the main room and changed doors several times before finding his eldest sister.

As a result, what good outcome can there be? As soon as I opened my mouth after entering the house, I was splashed with a basin of water by the eldest sister, followed immediately by a wooden basin with iron hoops.

He rolled and crawled to avoid the wooden basin and looked at the pieces of wood scattered on the ground. Gu Ting's legs became weak. The eldest sister had killed him this time.

"Virtue! You can't even beat a girl, but you still challenge a man. If you're so stupid next time, I'll hit you in the head."

Chen Jisheng touched up Gu Ting's buttocks and let him continue to fall in the water. This coward was still somewhat bloody, but he just lacked practice.

Ignore Chen Xiaobao who is diligently pouring books into the room. This guy is also out of practice. It's not him who the eldest sister is dealing with. Why are you fighting in a cold war?
"Sister, Gu Ting is treating me to Dong Laishun tonight! Why are you staring at me? If you stare at me again, Gu Ting's dream will come true."

Chen Jisheng was not used to his eldest sister. When he saw her glaring at him with an angry look on her face, her eyes stood up and she also uttered evil words.

This matter was caused by Gu Ting's coward. It had nothing to do with him and he couldn't show weakness to his enemy.

"Okay, Ji Sheng, don't mess around. Dong Laishun is not close, let's go..."

Seeing that the eldest sister Gu Yizhou was not convinced and the third brother was equally tough, the second sister Chen Baohong tried to smooth things over.

The group ate Dong Lai Shun that night, and Chen Jisheng made an appointment with them to gather at the house in Zhima Hutong at 05:30 in the morning, and the group dispersed.

Afraid of getting up late, Chen Jisheng set the alarm clock. He didn't play at [-]:[-] a.m. at night and fell asleep naturally. At [-]:[-] a.m. the next day, he opened his eyes when he heard the alarm clock.

"Chen Xiaobao, get up!"

A roar frightened Chen Xiaobao out of bed and made him sit upright on the bed.

There was also a dissatisfied snort from the South Room where the two sisters lived. In terms of time, the two top students are still very self-disciplined.

"Second sister, you are wearing those little vest-like ones. They are called sports bras. I will give you two of them for my eldest sister."

Standing in the middle of the main room, Chen Jisheng reminded his second sister in as low a voice as possible. It was really hard to say this, but there was nothing he could do if he wanted to go out for a run.

"You're so lenient. I know, don't stand in the room."

Hearing the embarrassing reply, Chen Jisheng left the room, took a breath of the cool air, and was refreshed.

The family had packed up and had just left the house when Silly Zhu also yawned and walked over unsteadily.

"Man, it's too early..."

Ignoring the stupid Zhu who didn't know whether he was awake or not, Chen Jisheng led the people out of the courtyard and started jogging.

I turned around from time to time to look at it. Running with a woman was such a burden.

When they arrived at Sesame Alley, they waited for a while before the eldest sister and the others came and signaled the second sister to come over. Chen Jisheng took the others and waited in the courtyard.

I told Shazhu to let him take the second and third children of the Zhang family to practice. They can decide the time themselves, but they must practice every morning.

When the elder sister came out with a blushing face, Chen Jisheng said hello, and he ran slowly ahead, and a group of people ran towards Qianhai together.

The halfway point of Qianhaiyan is almost three kilometers. Everyone is in good physical condition because they have been walking or riding bicycles all year round.

Jogging all the way, the sound of panting was not loud, seeing that they still had enough strength, Chen Jisheng slowly started to speed up, and led them around Qianhai.

"Second brother, you can't run anymore and rest for a while..."

Chen Xue, who was young, was the first to exhaust herself. Seeing that everyone looked similar, Chen Jisheng started to walk slowly.

"No one is allowed to sit down for me, I'll kick you..."

The little girl drank and wanted to sit down. In her aggrieved eyes, Chen Jisheng urged a group of people to walk slowly towards Sesame Alley.

During the morning exercise, the women were dressed similar to autumn clothes, with red long-sleeved sportswear and white sneakers, and their clothes were already soaked through.

Chen Jisheng and Chen Xiaobao, like Gu Ting, all wore blue pants, sea soul shirts, and Jiefang shoes, and they were all wet to the waist.

Back at Zhima Hutong, Chen Jisheng looked at the time. It was less than 07:30 and he had to rush to work.

"Continue tomorrow! Take a break, treat Gu Ting to your breakfast!"

Leaving behind a sentence that made everyone look painful, Chen Jisheng turned around and left. It was almost seven or eight kilometers today. These people's physical strength is really good.
