A little madman moved into the courtyard house next door.

After leaving the train station, Chen Weimin hailed two tricycles and headed towards Nanluoguxiang in Hongxing Street.

We arrived at Nanluoguxiang and came to No. 93 Courtyard House, then walked into the front yard.

A woman stepped forward and asked, "Comrades, who are you?"

Chen Weimin said, "I am Chen Weimin, an officer from the district's armed forces department. This is Xiao Sanfeng and his maternal grandmother, Bai Wushuang. They are the new residents of the east wing of your front yard."

The woman spoke up, "Welcome to our two new neighbors. I'm Wei Shuzhen from the west wing. I don't have much to do, so I just help keep an eye on strangers coming and going."

Xiao Sanfeng didn't immediately start arguing with the other person. He nodded and said, "Hello comrade, we'll be neighbors from now on. Please take care of me."

"Young man, don't worry. We're all neighbors, it's normal to have disagreements. Just let it all out, have a few words and it'll be over."

"Alright, we just arrived today. We've been a bit busy, so we won't keep you company. See you later!"

After Xiao Sanfeng finished speaking, he took out his key, opened the door, and carried his things inside.

Chen Weimin said, "Aunt Bai, Sanwa, you two pack up first. We'll go back and report to our work, and we'll come back this afternoon to bring you some things."

Xiao Sanfeng used his divine sense to check and saw that Xiao Fei was circling overhead. He then said to Chen Weimin, "Uncle Chen, you've all worked hard these past few days. I'll have Xiao Fei go out and catch some pheasants and rabbits later, so you can take them back for your aunt and the others to nourish themselves."

"Sanwa, then I'll thank you and Xiaofei in advance."

Officer Li quickly said, "Sanwa, have Xiaofei do some extra work. Uncle Li will bring you some industrial vouchers to exchange."

"Uncle Li, you've worked just as hard. I won't accept anything in return today; consider it my way of thanking you."

Chen Weimin said, "Sanwa, eating meat is very precious these days. You can't be so casual and generous in the future."

"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I won't act recklessly. It's all because of your help today; no one else will be able to take advantage of me."

"With your words of comfort, we are relieved! We'll head back now." Chen Weimin said, and then left with Officer Li.

.....................

Xiao Sanfeng released his divine sense to examine the layout of this No. 93 Four Harmony.

This is a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). There is a screen wall facing the main gate. To the right of the entrance is a gatehouse, and to the left are three rear rooms.

The hanging flower gate and corridor walls have been demolished, and the foundation marks are still visible on the ground. Overall, the front yard looks much more spacious.

There are three east wing rooms in the front yard, and a side room facing the back yard. These are all Xiao Sanfeng's houses. The open space from the east wing rooms to the screen wall was also allocated to him and became his private property.

In the middle room of the east wing, there is a square table and four benches, while in each of the two side rooms, there is a wooden bed and an old wardrobe.

There are three rooms in the west wing, with a small side room inside. There is a small hut outside, near the rear building, which was obviously built later.

Connecting to the backyard is a hallway, with two hall rooms on each side of the hallway.

Entering through the main hall leads to the second courtyard.

The second courtyard has three main rooms, and a cellar to the east of the main rooms. There are also three east wing rooms and three west wing rooms.

Behind the main house is a row of five rear buildings connected to the backyard wall.

There was no toilet in the entire courtyard; the nearest public toilet was on the west side of courtyard number 95. It was one of those dry toilets that was stinking in the summer and freezing cold in the winter.

Xiao Sanfeng thought for a moment. The body he was in was still young, so there was no rush to get married and have children. These three east wing rooms were enough.

The middle room will be used as the main room, where guests can be received when they come over. The other two rooms will be used as bedrooms, one for Xiao Sanfeng and one for his grandmother.

The side room will serve as the kitchen, and the open space connecting to the screen wall will be used to build a toilet and a bathroom.

Also, the weather in northern cities is very cold. Although Xiao Sanfeng's body is no longer affected by heat or cold, his grandmother's health is not good, and she definitely won't be able to withstand the winter. They'll need to build a heated kang (traditional Chinese bed) inside the house.

The overall renovation work isn't too big or too small. We'll just have to ask Chen Weimin for help when he arrives this afternoon.

Xiao Sanfeng then summoned Xiao Fei back and gave it the order to hunt. To the west and north of Beijing, there are continuous mountain ranges.

Xiao Fei is capable enough to hunt a few pheasants and rabbits, so we'll leave this task to him.

At this moment, Bai Wushuang had already gone to Wei Shuzhen's house to borrow a broom and was cleaning the house.

………………

By 4 PM, Xiao Fei had already hunted 5 pheasants and 3 rabbits. However, these wild animals didn't have the same fat as the system's daily sign-in rewards.

When Xiao Fei returned from hunting, he astonished the women in the courtyard who weren't at work. They were drooling with envy at the sight of so much prey.

However, they still didn't quite understand their new neighbor's personality, and nothing like going to their door to ask for anything happened.

A little while later, Chen Weimin and Officer Li arrived on their bicycles.

The two parked their bicycles at the door and began moving things into the house.

A small charcoal stove, a small iron pot, a thermos, two enamel basins, two enamel cups. Towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, a kitchen knife, a cutting board, and bowls and chopsticks.

A bag of flour, a bottle of rapeseed oil, a pound of pork, two cabbages, and five white radishes.

Looking at all these things, Xiao Sanfeng asked, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, why did you bring so much stuff?"

Chen Weimin said, "These are all slips approved by our Armed Forces Minister, which were obtained from the pension office."

"Uncle Chen, there's another thing I need your help with. This vacant lot over there is my private property, and I want to build a toilet there. Also, I want to install kang beds in the bedrooms on both sides, and turn the side room into a kitchen with a wood-burning stove inside."

"We need to connect water pipes to the kitchen and toilet, and also build a toilet. These things will definitely involve approvals, and we'll have to trouble you to coordinate them."

Chen Weimin said, "No problem, we'll go to the subdistrict office to help you coordinate. We'll have them send the paperwork over directly and find you a construction team while we're at it."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. Once the house is finished, I'll invite you and Uncle Li over to have some hot pot."

"Hey kid, why are you being so polite with your uncle?"

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Li. Xiao Fei just came back from hunting. He left me a rabbit and a pheasant, and you can take the rest and divide them up!"

Looking at the five pheasants and three rabbits in the room, Officer Li said, "Sanwa, this is too much. Let's each take one rabbit."

"Uncle Li, the weather is so hot, we can't release them. Besides, you have a lot of people in your family, and two pheasants and a rabbit don't have much meat. Just take them back and have a good meal with your family."

Chen Weimin said, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you then. Just come to us if you need anything in the future. As long as it's not illegal, we'll find a way to resolve it."

"Uncle Chen, you and Uncle Li are so sincere to me, I'll definitely come to you if I need anything."

"Sanwa, we'll head back now; we still need to go to the neighborhood office!"

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, slow down."

Chen Weimin and Officer Li used the bag they had just used to pack the pheasants and rabbits to put them in, and then left.
