Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

"Hey! I'll be living in this yard from now on. I need to borrow some food from my brother, otherwise I won't be able to survive!"

"Of course! Food is the most important thing for people. Oh, your brother takes good care of you! You look quite old, don't you?"

Yan Bugui kept saying "good" and kept looking around. Lin Weidong just laughed it off and said it was grain. Yan Bugui couldn't be so shameless as to pick it up and look at it, could he?

Many people in the courtyard greeted Lin Weidong, and Lin Weidong responded with "uh-huh" and "yeah," creating a fairly harmonious atmosphere.

It's probably because people's lives are pretty good these days that they don't exhibit the indiscriminate beastly behavior seen in fanfiction.

Of course, it's also possible that their respect for Lin Weiguo stemmed from his status as a cadre, which kept them at a distance.

After pushing the bicycle across the courtyard, Yan Bugui gasped for breath.

Lin Weidong secretly scorned, "Old Yan isn't up to par either. How can he shoulder important responsibilities with such poor physical condition?"

"Teacher Yan, you really need to work out!"

After offering a word of advice, Lin Weidong added in his mind, "Once you've trained well, you'll have to join in the fun for us!"

"Hey! We're poor! We can't afford meat, there's nothing we can do." Yan Bugui said, glancing longingly at Lin Weidong.

Lin Weidong took out a cigarette, lit one for himself, and handed one to him.

"Teacher Yan, you've worked hard. I just got back and don't have anything nice to offer you. Have a cigarette."

"Hey, hey!" Yan Bugui quickly reached out and took it, but he was a little unwilling. He had worked so hard all this time, and all he got was a cigarette?

"Shall I help you unload your things, Xiao Lin?" He held a cigarette and looked around, thinking that since it was all black, he could probably get some.

"No need, I'll clean up myself. Teacher Yan, you should go back and rest. It would be best to close the courtyard gate. I ran into the police arresting enemy agents on my way back."

"Oh really?" Yan Bugui panicked and started to walk away. His house was in the front yard, and he was afraid that someone in a panic would run into his house and destroy it.

He had just stepped out of the wall gate when he saw a figure in the dark corner. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and staggered back, only to find that Lin Weidong had already locked the door.

"Tsk! Old Yan, why are you running away?" Jia Zhangshi moved her plump body closer and even stood on tiptoe to peek through the crack in the door, but it was too dark to see anything.

She tugged at the still-shaken Yan Bugui and asked, "Hey, Old Yan, what's that Lin kid carrying? Did he give you something good?"

"What else could it be but grain? Besides, what does it have to do with you? Jia Zhangshi, let me tell you, don't come out here in the dark and scare people! It's only because I, Yan Bugui, am well-educated that I don't stoop to your level. If it were anyone else, you'd probably beat them up!"

Yan Bugui stormed off in a huff!

"What's with the attitude!" Jia Zhangshi spat, and seeing that Lin Weidong had already closed the door, she pouted and went home.

"Mom, where have you been?" Jia Dongxu asked, lifting the curtain when he heard the noise.

"What? Why do you care what I do? Do I have to tell you when I need to use the outhouse? All you do all day is eat and never learn anything good." Jia Zhangshi was incredibly envious when she thought of Lin Weidong's bicycle full of stuff.

Look at the Lin Weiguo family, they give so much to take care of their younger brother.

"Why are you angry again? What have I done wrong? You have no idea how tiring it is to work in the factory. How can I work if I don't eat more? I come home exhausted after a long day of work and you still nag me!"

"Eat, eat, eat! Look at you, so pathetic! I told you to cultivate a good relationship with Section Chief Lin, why didn't you go? Even Yan Bugui knows to help, can't you see that?"

"Mom! You're wrong about that. This is a new society now. I'm a worker! What kind of status is a worker? Does that mean I should be eager to curry favor with officials? Everyone is equal in this new society, don't you understand? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" Jia Dongxu patted his chest, expressing his disdain for his mother's outdated views.

"I don't understand? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice! You think you're so great just because you're a worker? Let me see you ride a bicycle back! Let me see you find someone like Fang Qin! Stop hanging out with your shady friends all day! Look at what you've become!"

"Mom! You... never mind, I have nothing to do with you!" Jia Dongxu said, turning and leaving.

He was very resentful. In the past six months, he had learned a lot of information through word of mouth from his coworkers. He heard that in Northeast China, a worker could not only support a large family, but also live a very wealthy life.

The status of workers will definitely rise in the future, and Jia Dongxu will definitely become more and more successful! Then my mother will definitely be convinced!

Madam Jia was even angrier; her son was becoming more and more disobedient.

In the dead of night, Jia Zhangshi was so angry that she couldn't sleep. She got up in the middle of the night to light three incense sticks for Old Jia and nagged him for a while before she finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

Lin Weidong carried a shoulder pole and went with several people from the courtyard to fetch water at the alley entrance.

There are a lot of people and we have to queue. I don't know when the water tap will be allowed in the yard.

After carrying the water back, Lin Weidong roughly wiped down the furniture in the room, and then lit the insect-repelling and hygienic incense he had received from signing in the night before all over the yard.

Lin Weidong didn't understand why the system gave him sanitary incense, but since it had been given to him, he had to use it, especially since some police officers from the local police station were coming over today.

Last night, with the help of several interns at the police station, he collected a lot of information and newspapers containing policy guidance.

After a brief overview, I gained a detailed understanding of the policies of this era.

His focus was on how police stations work with the public to prevent enemy agents from spreading.

After looking at it with a flashlight, he finally understood why Chen Liang's attitude towards him had changed.

It turns out that his intrusion stole the credit, but that's all in the past now.

Thanks to Chen Liang's deliberate efforts last night and Lin Weidong's active cooperation, this matter is about to become a model of police-community cooperation.

Lin Weidong is a model of the masses who dares to fight against enemy agents, while Chen Liang is a model of public security who actively implements the instructions and requirements of his superiors and promotes the awareness of anti-espionage among the public.

It seems like a win-win situation, but it's actually a multi-win situation. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Liang will also bring his superiors today.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to get up early in the morning to clean.

His original plan was to wait until the job was confirmed and the house was allocated, then use the excuse of renting a house to have a clone move into the yard.

Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected, and he eventually had to take matters into his own hands.

……

Lin Weidong was busy early in the morning, while the staff at the 22nd Police Station of the Inner Third Branch near Nanluoguxiang were even busier than him.

At 10 a.m., the internal affairs officer who returned from the municipal personnel department brought back accurate information. They not only confirmed Lin Weidong's personal identity, but also brought back a recorder who had taken notes during the conversation.

At the same time, they also learned that Lin Weidong was the younger brother of Section Chief Lin of a certain department of the municipal administration.

Under the eager gaze of Chen Liang and the other man, the director waved his hand.

"Let's go! To the police station!"

Before 3 p.m., the branch bureau reviewed the arrest report and interviewed eyewitnesses at the scene, and finally confirmed that during the arrest, Comrade Lin Weidong risked his life and took the initiative to use his bicycle to knock down the fugitive enemy agent to assist in the arrest.

However, for reasons unknown, the branch office leaders did not immediately determine the reward, but instead continued to report it to higher authorities.

Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, the branch director took the relevant reports and materials to the municipal bureau.

Chen Liang was both happy and worried upon hearing the news.
