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

"A major event in life?"

Qin Huairu was taken aback, then a smile immediately spread across her face as she raised an eyebrow at Sha Zhu.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it! I'll ask Jingru later, and next time there won't be any mistakes!"

She really didn't expect that Sha Zhu would still be thinking about Qin Jingru!

It just so happens that Zhou Feng made it clear that he had his eye on Bai Ling recently!

After all, whether it's the leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau or a girl from the countryside, even if she's Qin Jingru's cousin, she knows who to choose with her eyes closed.

"Hey, wait a minute! Stop! When did I mention Qin Jingru? What does she have to do with me! I have a new target now!"

A look of disgust appeared on Sha Zhu's face.

Qin Jingru's cousin is indeed pretty, but she's smiling at Zhou Feng like that, so he doesn't care at all!

Who is it?

Qin Huairu's smile faltered, and she forced a question.

"How's it going with your son Banggeng's homeroom teacher, Ms. Ran?"

Sha Zhu puffed out his chest, striking a proud pose.

We don't care about those country bumpkin girls, let's just find a highly educated young man, the really cultured kind!

"You got in touch?"

"Not yet!"

Sha Zhu grinned smugly, rubbing his hands together incessantly: "But Third Uncle has already agreed to pass on the message, and Teacher Ran has also agreed to meet me. So, it's practically happening!"

As he spoke cheerfully, he looked around his room as if he could already see his bright future ahead.

Qin Huairu bit her lower lip and glanced at him sideways: "You actually believed what Third Uncle said?"

"Why shouldn't I believe it!"

Sha Zhu's eyes widened. This blind date was a big deal and couldn't be taken lightly!

"Then...then don't you even know who Third Uncle is close to?"

Qin Huairu's mind raced, and she immediately asked, "How did he speak up for Zhou Feng at the hospital-wide meeting? You're pinning your hopes on him?"

Leaving behind two cold laughs, Qin Huairu turned and left Sha Zhu's room on her own, leaving him alone in the room, lost in thought without expression. His previous smugness had long since vanished.

"Tch... No matter what, Ms. Ran is a teacher, from a respectable scholarly family, a lady of high birth, with such a figure and such an air about her! Your cousin has a rural household registration, what makes her even more remarkable?"

Muttering these words to himself, Sha Zhu still stood up and walked towards the front yard with a blank expression.

Qin Huairu's words struck a chord with him; he was genuinely afraid that the Third Uncle would accept his gifts but not do anything in return!

It's probably best to ask them directly!

Yan Bugui was also waiting at the courtyard gate. Seeing Zhou Feng pushing his bicycle in, he quickly went up to him: "Comrade Zhou, just got off work?"

"Uncle, is there something you need?"

Humans are social animals by nature, and social interaction is a very important part of life.

Yan Bugui has been clearly on his side these days, so he can't always keep a cold face.

At worst, we can just find other individuals to generate that emotional value for us. We can't act like mad dogs, biting anyone we can get our hands on.

"I heard that idiot Zhu was giving you a piece of his mind in the cafeteria today?"

Yan Bugui leaned forward and asked in a low voice, which made Zhou Feng raise an eyebrow with curiosity: "Something happened in the middle of the day, and it's already reached your ears after get off work?"

"Hey! You know our compound is the staff quarters of the steel mill. I hadn't even gotten home yet, and I'd already heard the whole story on the way..."

"So, what are your thoughts on this?"

Zhou Feng was really in a hurry to get home for dinner; Miss Bai must have already prepared the meal and was waiting for him!

As soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he smelled the aroma of rice and meat. If it wasn't made by Bai Ling, could it be from Yan Bugui's family?

That will probably have to wait until Chinese New Year!

Yan Bugui could also see his impatience, but he just smiled slightly.

"Let me tell you, that silly Zhu wants to get to know Teacher Ran from our school, and he wants me to play matchmaker for him. But because of what he did to you at noon today, I absolutely cannot help him with that!"

"Hmm..."

Zhou Feng looked at Yan Bugui's indignant expression and shook his head speechlessly.

If you haven't read the original work, you might actually be fooled by him.

The old man never really intended to play matchmaker for Sha Zhu!

Good grief, so you're just trying to sell something you never intended to do in the first place, huh?

"Alright then, Uncle, I really have to thank you. Thank you for helping me get revenge!"

As he spoke, Zhou Feng pretended to cup his hands in a gesture of respect towards him.

"Of course! Of course!"

Yan Bugui quickly returned the greeting, mimicking his gesture.

Watching Zhou Feng enter the house, he smacked his lips in satisfaction and prepared to go back to his own home.

Just then, a deep voice came from the other end of the hallway: "Third Uncle, what were you and Zhou Feng talking about just now?"

Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui, who came over to ask questions, immediately exchanged glances.

The latter paused as he was about to push up his glasses, and the smile on his face froze in his creases.
