The Beginning of a Courtyard House: Sixty Years of Internal Strength

"Yes, Xu Damao is right."

I said, Jiecheng, what exactly is going on in your head?

"Brothers, now that it's already happened, what should we do next?"

Li Jianguo asked.

"The most important thing now is..."

Do you know that your dad was reported because of you?

"Brother Jianguo, my father definitely doesn't know."

Because the people who reported him were all parents, and they wrote the reports themselves.

I never submitted that letter of complaint.

Still at home.

"Jiecheng, you should destroy the whistleblower letter right away."

If your dad finds out that you were the one who caused this.

He'll definitely kill you.

Yan Jiancheng immediately realized what was going on.

He rushed home to destroy the evidence.

Xu Damao and Li Jianguo calmly started drinking.

"Da Mao, you are already 20 years old this year."

I've been a projectionist for a while now.

You'd better hurry up and find someone.

"Hey, Brother Jianguo, speaking of this matter..."

I'm really worried, since my dad's in jail.

I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to find a partner.

"So you should hurry up, you have to do it as soon as possible."

Or should we wait until your dad comes out?

He was imprisoned in 54, right?

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It will be three more years before it's released.

Are you planning to wait until he gets out before looking for a partner?

"Yes, Brother Jianguo, that's what I think."

After my dad comes out.

He can get a job and then get a house.

Then I'll be living in the backyard by myself.

Having two rooms makes it convenient to find a partner.

Actually, Xu Damao didn't want to look for her.

His current equipment is unusable.

He gets married so that he can come back and keep an eye on his wife.

It would be better to hurry up and get the illness treated.

I'll find another partner.

"Okay, I was just a little worried about you."

At this point, Li Jianguo understood why Xu Damao had stopped looking for him.

I was originally hoping to have a new wife.

Now I have Yao Yao and Chen Xueru by my side for so many years.

Xu Damao's taste is probably good; she should be very beautiful.

I can use it myself too.

Alas, he acted too soon; Xu Damao became a eunuch.

That's why he doesn't get married.

I realize that I made a mistake.

It was a mistake; I was just thinking of helping him out.

He was afraid that he would steal his title as the first-blood master.

I'm afraid that, like Qin Jingru, Xu Damao will get the first blood early.

I didn't expect this to turn out so well?

He actually stopped looking for her, and Li Jianguo felt a little regretful.

Before Xu Damao got drunk, they quickly sent him away.

Li Jianguo couldn't help but complain to Yao Yao about Yan Jiecheng.

"How do you think Yan Jiecheng's brain works?"

He's useless at everything, but he can never get enough of anything!

Yan Bugui then went to check the warehouse.

He said it would come true; he really made 27.5 yuan.

The Yan family's lives are going to be even more difficult from now on.

"Ah, that's right, Yan Jiecheng is quite interesting too."

He actually got so many people to sign his name.

He's quite patient; no wonder there's been no movement for months.

It seems like he's never idle on his days off each week.

They actively went to conduct home visits.

"Hey, Yao Yao, now that you mention it, it's true."

He might actually have gone to see the students' parents on his day off.

The next day, when Li Jianguo and Yao Yao returned to the hospital.

I noticed that Yan Bugui had aged a lot all of a sudden.

He had been so angry at Yan Jiecheng that he vomited blood once.

Some of his hair turned white.

Now a large portion of it has turned white again.

To be honest, Yan Bugui has really poor mental fortitude.

"Oh, Teacher Yan, you've really suffered."

I never expected this to happen.

Yan Bugui was also filled with remorse.

"Jianguo, I really regret it now."

We really lost more than we gained by trying to save a little; that's what happened to our family from then on.

I really don't know how we're managing; we're spending more than we earn.

"Oh, Teacher Yan, you look like you're only in your forties."

You look like you're in your 50s now, so don't be too anxious.

I imagine your family has quite a bit of savings.

I think you could spend some money to buy Yang Ruihua a job.

She's about your age, only in her early forties.

I can work for another twenty years.

She may not be good at anything else, but she's good at sewing and mending.

You can buy her a regular factory job at the textile factory.

Then both of you will be working.

Life will always get by.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Jianguo, your idea is really great."

Thank you so much, Uncle.

I'll definitely treat you to drinks later.

After saying that...

Yan Bugui hurriedly ran home.

Yan Bugui is now seriously considering buying his wife a job.

We can't afford to lose our existing resources.

The wages his family earns now are really not enough to support them.

Yan Bugui rushed home and started talking to Yang Ruihua.

"My dear, I have a good idea."

How about I buy you a job?

Yang Ruihua was also taken aback.

"Old Yan, are you going to buy me a job?"

But I didn't do anything."

"I'll buy you a job at a textile factory, and you can work there."

Then both of us will be working.

With your salary plus mine, we can afford to support them.

Yang Ruihua hesitated.

"How much money will this cost, Lao Yan?"

I'm afraid I won't do a good job again.

"What's wrong with doing it?"

Isn't a textile factory just for weaving cloth and such?

Someone will definitely teach you then, so study hard.

"Alright, Lao Yan, I'll study hard."

Yang Ruihua thought about it and agreed.

Because the situation at home is indeed very serious.

If she doesn't agree, the family's wealth will dwindle.

After the two returned home.

Yao Yao looked at Li Jianguo strangely.

"Brother Jianguo, I never thought you would actually have a kind heart."

Did you drink too much today?

Why did you suddenly decide to help Old Man Yan's family?

"Yaoyao, what are you saying?"

The main issue is that Yan Laokou is a person who, although he's usually a bit annoying.

But it wasn't anything too serious, compared to the other animals in the yard.

He's a kind person.

He might ask for a few small things, but if you don't give them to him, he won't insist.

But look at the other beasts in the yard, are there any good people among them?

Even with bangs, I feel he's much more disgusting than Yan Bugui.

Believe it or not, if you give him even a minor official position, he can get everyone in the entire institute imprisoned.

I'm reminded of Liu Haizhong's actions after he became an official during the Cultural Revolution in the original drama.

That was truly both stupid and wicked.

"Brother Jianguo, you know what, it's actually quite possible in Liu Hai."

All this guy thinks about is becoming an official.

He was obsessed with the idea of ​​becoming an official.

However, Brother Jianguo, it seems that ever since that group of people went in...

"It feels like our courtyard has suddenly become so much more harmonious."

"Of course, Yao Yao, haven't you noticed that you've been living a much more comfortable life these past two years?"

They no longer hold large meetings for no reason.

"Mainly because several of the most troublesome people in our department have been arrested."

"Brother Jianguo, you know what, it's really true."

And the idea you gave Yan Fugui was really great.

Yan Bugui offered to buy jobs for his sons, but he probably wouldn't have wanted to.

But if you were to buy it for his wife, he might actually be willing.

We're willing to spend any amount of money, since the couple will be receiving their salaries from now on.
