Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"Furthermore, Zhou Feng arranged for me to get in; that's a huge favor, isn't it only right to give him a benefit? Otherwise, why would he help us? Because of your face? Because of your attitude? Or because of your terrible reputation in the hospital, Yan Jiecheng?"

A few words directly hit Yan Jiecheng's sore spot, especially since it was his wife who said them!

"What do you mean by my bad reputation? What did I do wrong?"

Yan Jiecheng glared at Yu Li with his neck stiff and his fists clenched tightly.

Those two bastards from the Liu family have no sense of propriety. It's one thing for them to mock him, but Yu Li is family, yet they still say such things.

"Isn't your reputation tarnished? What were you doing during the last meat-collecting machine incident? Don't you know?"

"There are only about 20 people like that in the entire city of Beiping. You've really made a name for yourself!"

"When we went to the neighborhood office to recruit people at the new factory the other day, didn't you have any idea how many embarrassing things you and Dad did?"

Yan Jiecheng's face turned a deep purplish-red, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Especially when Yu Li looked at him with a slightly contemptuous expression, it really made him break down.

But what he's saying are things that actually happened, so what can he argue about?

Yu Li's disdain became even more pronounced as she watched him struggle to speak.

If someone is incompetent, being honest and simple will do.

I'm afraid of people who are incompetent and petty.

He finally managed to get a job, but his first reaction wasn't happiness; instead, he was suspicious and complained that the benefits were too much.

She has been married into the Yan family for so long, working hard without complaint, serving the elderly above and taking care of the young below.

Yan Jiecheng could never find a proper job, and the little money he earned wasn't even enough for his own expenses. He also had to give a portion to his father-in-law. Did she ever complain?

Now that Zhou Feng has finally given them a way out, this guy is making a scene.

"If you don't have anything to say, then shut up. That's settled. I'll go to work after the New Year and give Zhou Feng 10 yuan a month. If you have any objections, go talk to him yourself."

Yu Li was too lazy to look at Yan Jiecheng, so she waved her hand, not wanting to argue with him anymore.

Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth, looked at Yu Li who had already turned away, and sighed silently.

Should we send him to talk to Zhou Feng?

He wouldn't dare!

Just look at Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, and Yi Zhonghai, and you'll know that offending Zhou Feng will definitely not end well.

Besides, everyone else in the family except him is short-sighted and eager to flatter Zhou Feng.

He can't stand this. Although we don't have that much ability, we still have the most basic integrity.

After glancing at Yu Li, who was still lying on her side in bed, Yan Jiecheng ran over excitedly. Just as he put his hand on her, he was shoved aside.

"Get out, don't touch me."

One sentence completely enraged Yan Jiecheng, who glared and slammed his hand on the table beside him.

"You're my wife, why can't I touch you?"

He was panting heavily, as if he was about to make a move at any moment.

Yu Li sat up expressionlessly, turned to look at Yan Jiecheng, and unbuttoned the first button of her collar.

"Sure, touch me all you want. But what if you get a child? Can you afford to raise it? Come on, touch me!"

Seeing Yu Li's actions and expression, Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, then swallowed hard and took a few steps back.

"Neuropathy!"

Muttering to himself, he pushed the door open and went out.

Ten yuan is no small matter. Since he couldn't persuade Yu Li, he went to talk to his parents.

He knew his father all too well. If he knew that his father had to give Zhou Feng 10 yuan every month, Yan Bugui would have approached Yu Li without him even having to ask.

Yu Li, who was half-sitting on the bed, gave a bitter smile, fastened her clothes, and lay back down.

A voice drifted over from below: "Coward!"

Arriving at his parents' house in the front yard, Yan Jiecheng embellished the story and told his third aunt the whole thing, which immediately changed her expression.

"Ten yuan? Yu Li gives Zhou Feng that much money every month?"

"That's right! Mom, I said a few words to Yu Li, and she got upset. Who asks for so many benefits when introducing a job?"

The three women also showed a pained expression on their faces. 10 yuan a month, that's 120 yuan a year!

When you calculate it this way, it's like being cut with a dull knife!

However, Zhou Feng's status in this courtyard is truly undeniable.

She hesitated for a long time, then shook her head: "We'll discuss this when your dad gets back."

"Since Yu Li and Comrade Zhou Feng have already made up their minds, let's just proceed accordingly."

When Yan Bugui returned, the result he gave surprised everyone in the room. Even Yu Li looked at him in disbelief.

"We got this job without spending any money or contributing anything. Zhou Feng arranged it for us, what more do we want?"

Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses and shook his head helplessly.

"I'm an intern now, so earning an extra ten or so yuan a month is not bad. Once I get promoted, I'll earn more, right? It's better than staying at home, isn't it?"

The third aunt sat to the side, hesitant to speak, but noticing the look in Yan Bugui's eyes, she chose to remain silent.

After dinner, when Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had both left, she finally asked the question.

"Since Zhou Feng gave us all this work, why not let Jie Cheng do it?"

After all, she's a mother, and she'd want to give all the good things to her son.

Yan Bugui shook his head.

"Do you think that job is yours to do? Zhou Feng submitted Yu Li's name, how could Jie Cheng get it? Besides, even with Jie Cheng's reputation, sigh—"

Yan Bugui let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, the eldest son was married off early on; otherwise, given his current reputation, getting married would be a complete pipe dream.

Let alone whether any girl would be interested in him!

Even if many more positions are created in Beiping in the future, he will not be eligible.

The neighborhood committee's attitude is clear.

This is why he didn't question Yu Li's work at all.

It's practically impossible for my son to find a job, but my daughter-in-law has a job now, which at least provides an income. What more could I ask for?

I just hope that after Yu Li gets a job, she will still think about her son and won't have any other thoughts.

"I should find some time to go and thank Zhou Feng. He's really indebted to me."

Finding a job should be a good thing, but the Yan family members all looked worried, as if they had lost money.

While Yan Bugui was still thinking of coming to thank Zhou Feng in person, the latter had already left the world of the courtyard house.

The reason was simple: in the afternoon, Sun Yue from the Special Operations Department sent a message that the scale of the conflict in the north was getting bigger and bigger.

So they wanted to ask Zhou Feng if he could contact the "American country" to provide some weapons.

Although his family also had a weapons factory, the weapons Zhou Feng brought back last time had repeatedly achieved great success, driving the Russians to flee in terror in the north.

This is one of the reasons why the latter continues to escalate the scale of the conflict.

After all, they had encountered weapons they had never seen before, and they wanted to capture a few to take back and study.

Since modern times, China has always been suppressed by them, and in recent decades, it has been their little brother.

But starting in the 50s, the older brother discovered that the younger brother's muscles were growing a bit too fast and he wasn't obediently following their plans for development.

This displeased him, so he withdrew all the aid he had previously given to his younger brother.

Whether it was money lent to his younger brother or supplies given to him, he demanded their return, and then flexed his muscles at the border.

To everyone's surprise, the little guy wasn't intimidated by his bulging muscles; instead, he revealed his own massive physique!

A series of combined punches stunned the big brother.

The older brother must have wondered how he trained like that.

Whether it's learning from others or developing our own technology, we can't let our younger siblings surpass us, can we?

Zhou Feng never expected that the situation in the north would deteriorate further because of the advanced weapons he brought!

Zhou Feng reported all the information here to Boss Lin Su, who then reported it directly to the top. After a long meeting, Modern China made a surprising decision.

We must help the world of courtyard houses unleash its power in another world!

This "Bright Sword" wouldn't be like later generations, with a Dongfeng Express rocket traveling tens of thousands of meters to open the world's eyes.

In those days, satellite technology was not yet widespread, and even if a Dongfeng Express was sent there, there was no technology to launch it.

Neither the guidance system nor the experimental measurements could accomplish this.

To put it simply, at that time there was no sufficiently sophisticated onboard computer to perform ballistic calculations, and even if the launch was successful, there was no way to determine the test results 10,000 kilometers away.

Moreover, even if Zhou Feng could bring the satellite to this era, it would be impossible to launch it into orbit, and there would be no corresponding ground tracking and control system.

Therefore, what Zhou Feng brought this time were two sets of precision strike suits that the modern dragon nation had carefully prepared for the courtyard world!

It's called a "package" because it perfectly combines modern cruise missile technology with a 1966 carrier platform.

Zhou Feng brought only a few ground positioning base stations, two mission planning computers, a few sets of mechanical equipment adapters, and dozens of small turbojet engines with guided bombs.

This is already a fairly practical choice for the world of courtyard houses.

After all, this is the most powerful weapon available on the northern border.

Both China and Russia are countries capable of overturning the table, so although the conflict between them is intense, both sides still exercise restraint.

Of course, by this time, the experts from the Dragon Kingdom in the Siheyuan world were already using computers specially made from the modern world.

Therefore, although the equipment for these weapons is advanced, there are still experts who can use them smoothly.

These kits also have another advantage: they are perfectly compatible with the H-6 carrier aircraft of that era.

This eliminates the need for special training, and pilots hardly need to change their habits.

With simple modifications, it can be put into use.

But just as the Dragon Kingdom was still studying the advanced weapons brought by Zhou Feng, another variable emerged.

A deafening dragon's roar echoed across the Northwest.

According to the original historical trajectory, this would have taken about 10 months. But with the computers Zhou Feng brought, the research and development speed was significantly accelerated.

The Lunar New Year's Eve had barely passed when this dragon's roar became a New Year's gift to the entire Dragon Kingdom, and also the loudest firecracker ever heard.

In an instant, all the countries in the world that were paying attention to China fell silent.

When the United States received news of the war between China and Russia, it had already begun to consider the so-called non-proliferation treaty.

This dragon's roar drove them completely mad.

The reason is nothing other than some photos that China deliberately released.

The power of that dragon's roar was beyond their imagination!

Because of this, no one is sure whether the Dragon Kingdom has the ability to be on the table for a meal now.

But it's common knowledge that Long Guo has the ability to flip the table and make everyone unable to eat.

Everyone knows that the Russians are a fighting nation.

But the Russians are just passionate, not crazy.

Upon hearing the dragon's roar, they decisively and intentionally controlled the scale of the conflict that was harassing the northern border.

This also relieved the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

It's not that they're afraid of the Russians, but rather that having this breathing space allows them to quickly familiarize themselves with these new weapons and then give the Russians a big surprise.

The aid that the modern Chinese nation provided to the courtyard world was not limited to these few sets of weapons, but also included a large amount of war supplies.

Although it was called a war, leaders in modern society know that the scale of the conflict at the time was actually not large.

However, given the situation in China at the time, this conflict with Russia still had a significant impact.

Now that the two sides have started to cooperate, it is perfectly reasonable to lend a helping hand.

So, in the past two days, Zhou Feng has started moving various war supplies into his space.

Originally, in order to facilitate transportation, he even wanted to go directly to the northern border of the Siheyuan world, but the leaders there collectively stopped him.

Even if the supplies were placed in Beiping and then transported to the northern border by rail, it would require a considerable amount of manpower and resources, and they did not want Zhou Feng to take any risks.

Bullets don't have eyes, and besides, the whole country is in turmoil right now.

If something were to happen to Zhou Feng on his way to the Northern Territory, it would be a truly terrible sin.

Although it may be inappropriate to say this, sometimes one person's life is more important than the lives of many others.

However, while the Dragon Kingdom, which was busy preparing for war in the world of courtyard houses, hadn't done anything yet, things had already gone crazy in the modern West.

Whether it was the United States or the countries in Europe, they were all quite startled when they learned that the military region in China had begun to urgently mobilize various war supplies.

What are they trying to do?

Nobody provoked them, right?

Who are these supplies intended for?

Okay, I admit I was a bit loud during the meeting, but it wasn't enough to actually start a fight, was it?

Meanwhile, the beautiful Guo in the courtyard is getting happier and happier.

Whether it's China or Russia, as long as they don't resort to drastic measures, the more they fight, the happier they are.

They were also beating up the little monkey, but the Dragon Kingdom helped them hold off their nemesis.
