Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

After giving Wen San a good scolding, Yi Zhonghai felt much better and rode his bike to the station, panting heavily.

To be honest, there were just too many people on the bus during such a festive occasion. If he weren't physically unable to pedal anymore, he would have liked to stay there forever.

He earned a full eleven yuan and fifty cents today alone!

As I walked back to the courtyard under the cover of dusk, I overheard Liu Haizhong and a group of steel mill workers discussing something.

"Hey! You guys didn't see it, the General Affairs Department prepared a whole box of red flowers today, plus other prizes. A coworker and I were passing by and helped carry some. Wow, the material is almost like silk! It feels so smooth and delicate... But unfortunately, we're just apprentices, so we definitely have no chance. Master Liu, we're counting on you to win one in our yard!"

"That's right, Lao Liu, you'd better step up your game tomorrow! Try to win us a big red flower!"

He silently accepted everyone's blessings, smoking a cigarette with a smile on his face, secretly pleased with himself.

Especially when he saw Yi Zhonghai, covered in dust, pushing his cart into the yard, he could no longer contain his smugness.

"Hey! Lao Yi, where have you been? I haven't seen you much these past few days. What have you been up to, going out early and coming home late? Did you know the steel mill is holding a commendation ceremony for model workers? Oh! I forgot you're not even at the factory anymore, so this has nothing to do with you... Sorry, Lao Yi, I've brought up something that's bothering you again. My bad, my bad! Look at my mouth!"

After making a mocking remark, Liu Haizhong pretended to slap himself in the mouth.

Mingming was still furious when he heard these words last night, but now, when he thinks about how he earned almost half a month's salary from Liu Haizhong in just one day, he looks at Liu Haizhong like he's watching a monkey at a circus.

"Old Liu, you don't need to be like this. Now I'm free to ride a bike and can support my family. I haven't thought about the factory for a long time. You guys go celebrate, I'm going home to relax."

"Hey! This old Yi is such a loner, what kind of person is he!"

Liu Haizhong, having failed to show off, was extremely dissatisfied and pointed at Yi Zhonghai's back while complaining.

A few people nearby chimed in with a few words, and then began to list the top contenders for tomorrow's award.

Liu Haizhong wasn't really confident about winning the award. It was mainly because everyone in the institute fawned over him, and he wasn't a humble person, so he readily agreed.

But when the boast was actually uttered, Liu Haizhong felt somewhat regretful and flustered, afraid of embarrassing himself. He kept waiting for Lin Weidong to come back so he could find out more information.

He saw Lin Weidong at the factory today, leading a group of factory managers on a tour of various locations.

If Lin Weidong were willing to speak up for himself, wouldn't Da Honghua be a piece of cake?

Liu Haizhong thought it was a good idea and made several trips to the other courtyard.

They waited patiently for Lin Weidong to return, but before he could even speak, he was interrupted.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, what are you doing wandering around so late at night instead of resting? Are you sure it's not another enemy spy trying to get me to dinner? We've already spotted two in the factory today, you'd better watch out!"

With the addition of the object-like surveillance, Lin Weidong now has a dual perspective, so how could he not understand Liu Haizhong's thoughts?

To be honest, Lao Liu really has no self-awareness. In the past six months, you've been to the police station twice. We'll let it go if you tarnish the factory's reputation, but what contributions have you made?

Even if I dared to give it to you, would you really dare to take it? There are so many people in the factory, who would respect you?

"Haha! No, no, I just ate too much tonight and felt bloated. I'm just taking a walk to digest. Hey Xiaolin, you should go back and rest. You look tired after a long day."

Unable to fathom Lin Weidong's thoughts, Liu Haizhong quickly laughed it off and left, his face darkening the moment he turned away.

It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. He's more successful than Yi Zhonghai, but he's still far behind Lin Weidong. I wish I could achieve Lin Weidong's level of success someday...

When the time comes, I can have as many big red flowers as I want without having to ask anyone for help.

Lin Weidong saw his jealous thoughts through the status bar and was speechless for a moment.

He was too lazy to correct his bangs, and knowing it was pointless, he ignored it and went back to the courtyard to the silk shop.

Inside the room, Tian Zao was enthusiastically describing the school's parade arrangements for tomorrow.

As she spoke, she even softly mimicked two slogans.

Long live Labor Day!

"Defend peace, build a new China!"

"You're powerful! Zao'er, you really should be the leader and the flag bearer."

After listening, Chen Xueru made a sarcastic remark, and Tian Zao rolled her eyes and glared at her with a disgusted expression.

"I'm not interested in that kind of limelight; I'll just participate."

After following Lin Weidong for half a year, she didn't learn anything else, but she mastered the art of concealing her talents. Her goal was to make a fortune quietly and work hard to amaze everyone.

Lin Weidong pushed the door open and patted her head, but Tian Zao brushed it away in disgust.

"Are you trying to soothe a child?"

"You seemed like a child just now. How so? Were you excited about participating in the march?"

"Hehe...that's true! You guys don't know, on the day the city of Beijing was liberated, I squeezed into the crowd to watch. At that time, I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if one day I could join such a team. Now, although I don't have such a strong desire, when I actually have the opportunity to participate, I still feel a dream come true and I feel excited...it feels so wonderful."

Tian Zao blinked and gently leaned into Lin Weidong's arms. Chen Xueru pouted and squeezed in as well, not to be outdone.

"Zao'er, you can talk, but you can't just lay your hands on me! You two were complaining about me the other day, now I'm going to keep an eye on you!"

The sentimental atmosphere in Tianzao was immediately ruined by her, and she couldn't help but pinch her.

The two fought in Lin Weidong's arms, with Lin Weidong helping the left side and then the right, busy and happy.

After having dinner at the silk shop, Lin Weidong went to Bai Ling's courtyard.

He waited in the courtyard for a while before Bai Ling returned on her bicycle. Lin Weidong glanced at the time; it was almost ten o'clock.

"You're here!"

It was rare for Bai Ling to show weakness today; she rushed into his arms as soon as she entered the door. Lin Weidong joked when he saw this.

"Even Section Chief Bai gets tired sometimes? Come, lie down and I'll give you a massage to relax."

"Don't be naughty... I'm just emotionally exhausted, I don't need a massage!"

"Your thoughts are really filthy. I genuinely want to give you a massage, okay? I recently learned a new technique from a friend, so why don't you reluctantly be my guinea pig?"

Lin Weidong wasn't just bragging or being malicious.

The resonance of experience almost made him omniscient and omnipotent. Even without actively learning, he could absorb the knowledge and skills left on the resonance network by the clone.

Although it's only a part, it's enough to get started.

The key points of this knowledge and skills, just like the system-rewarded skills, were transferred to him out of thin air; he only needed to train and adapt to them.

Knowledge and skills have all come to you on their own; there's no reason for them to refuse.

Whenever he had the chance, Lin Weidong would adapt and make use of it.

After hearing Lin Weidong's explanation, Bai Ling felt relieved and stretched out on the recliner.

As she relaxed, she couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Sigh! You have no idea how many people we arrested today. Some of the reasons were so outrageous that I couldn't even think of them. The key is that they don't even realize where they went wrong... If this happens every day, I feel like we'll be exhausted sooner or later."

Some revel in tomorrow's celebrations, while others are exhausted by them; in this world, there are always those who carry heavy burdens.

Lin Weidong silently applied force with his hands, helping her stretch her muscles, without saying anything more.

Many things are more unforgettable when experienced firsthand than when heard from others.

Bai Lingtian and Zao are representatives of this era; their choices and efforts are not isolated cases.

Tomorrow, Lin Weidong will also represent future generations to witness this unprecedented event.

On May 1st, a gentle spring rain fell.

Pushing open the door, the air you breathe is no longer filled with the smell of earth, but with the unique fragrance of new life, nurtured by the sweat of the working people.

People left their homes, went out onto the streets, and headed to the square.

Here, there will be an unprecedented parade, and the world's most respected leaders will deliver speeches.

At the steel rolling mill, Lin Weidong delivered the opening remarks at the commendation meeting and mobilization event, and then hurriedly left.
