Chapter 5: Siheyuan First Wingman
Gao Zhendong casually took out a dozen White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to Xiaomei: "Come on, Xiaomei, have some candy. This is delicious."

Xiaomei's face was full of desire, but she didn't take it and turned to look at her mother.

Wan Yueqin smiled and said, "It's okay, eat. From now on, you should take whatever Uncle Gao brings."

Then he turned to Gao Zhendong and said, "You're spoiling the child a little bit. This thing is rare."

Gao Zhendong smiled: "It's okay, I really have a way to get this kind of things. I'm alone and don't have a child now. If I don't love Xiaomei, I really don't know who else to love, haha."

Wang Dezhuo laughed: "That's right, hehe. Your sister-in-law is a primary school teacher. She can introduce you to a girl in her school, and then you can have your own, hahaha." Wan Yueqin also smiled and agreed.

Gao Zhendong didn't act pretentiously: "Then I'd like to thank my sister-in-law first, haha."

Wan Yueqin turned and walked towards the stove: "You two brothers continue chatting, I'll go make dinner. Xiaomei, come and help."

Next, to the sound of Wan Yueqin cooking, "click. click. snap. snap.", the two grown men reminisced about the glorious past.

Wan Yueqin was very skillful and prepared three dishes and a soup, including both meat and vegetarian dishes, in just half an hour. It has to be said that no matter what era it was, a dual-income family with a regular salary would never have a bad life.

Gao Zhendong took out a bottle of Maotai from his bag: "Let's drink this today."

Wang Dezhu was shocked: "What's wrong? Old platoon leader, are you going to stop living like this? All the good things are going to me, right?"

"You can't make it like this every day, and there aren't many of these. But today is special, come on, fill it up."

The three adults and one child enjoyed the food and wine together, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

After eating and chatting enough, Gao Zhendong walked out of the Wang family compound amid the Wang family's requests to stay, and happily walked towards No. 95 Nan Tongluoguxiang. Xiaomei's childish voice lingered behind him: "Uncle Gao~~~You must come to see Xiaomei often~~~"

Back at the courtyard, Gao Zhendong got the key from the third uncle's house, went back to his room, unwrapped the quilt, made the bed and fell asleep with a little tipsy. On the first night in the courtyard, although the house was empty and deserted, it felt, well, very comfortable.

The next day was Friday. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, Gao Zhendong woke up in the morning light and went to another side room to practice some boxing. It was not some secret qigong or something, but just a set of Bajiquan that he learned from a soldier from Cangzhou in the platoon.

After Gao Zhendong learned how to fight on his own, he basically never gave up the idea of ​​exercising. Combined with his strengthened physique, he became quite good at fighting over the years.

After boxing, Gao Zhendong lit a fire, boiled water, brushed his teeth and washed up. The coal briquettes were borrowed from the third uncle when he got the keys the day before. For this quick and generous college student, the third uncle had no worries about "borrowing without returning".

After cleaning up, Gao Zhendong bought a box of milk and two loaves of bread and ate them for breakfast.

When he reported for work the day before, he asked for two days off from the factory to handle other matters related to settling down. As a result, he met Wang Dezhui, and things went too smoothly. Most of the things that were scheduled for Friday and Saturday were completed on Thursday afternoon. For the next two days, he had plenty of time to handle matters such as food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. If he exchanged them from the system every day, his neighbors would see that he only used them instead of buying them. Within half a month, he would have to go see Wang Dezhui because of the report from the masses.

He was happy to see Wang Dezhu, but he was unhappy to see Wang Dezhu for this reason.

After finishing the tidying up, Gao Zhendong began to prepare for the first important task of the day: to deal with the wingman. To say that there are so many talented people in this courtyard, when Gao Zhendong was watching TV series in his previous life, there were a lot of famous people, such as the following ones.

The God of War who fought in all the courtyards - Shazhu

The thief who never leaves empty-handed - Banggen

The succubus who enchants everyone——Qin Huairu
Xu Damao, the wandering bard showing movies
The Necromancer who summons his deceased relatives at will - Jia Zhangshi
A damaged experimental subject who traded his fertility for the super eighth-level fitter's professional ability - a grandfather (those who can understand the meaning of "damaged experimental subject" come and scold Gao Wu together, those who can't understand it are not recommended to delve into it, don't scold me if you have jumped into the pit)
The goblin merchant who is stingy and takes a little extra - Uncle Sanda
But when it comes to supporting and assisting, no one can compare to the one in the backyard, the courtyard's first wingman: the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady has the salt intake of seventy or eighty years, is of advanced age, occupies the moral high ground in the Siheyuan ecological niche, and has absolute action power when something happens. When it comes to assisting, she is definitely the best in the Siheyuan.

In the original TV series, it was basically only this old lady who didn't hold the God of War back and helped him a lot. What did the old lady want? She just wanted a good meal and a sense of comfort. She was like this. She really made Gao Zhendong cry.

So the first person Gao Zhendong had to deal with was this old lady. To be honest, in the eyes of the clear-headed and stupid Gao Zhendong, this old lady had nothing to do with the word bad, and even had a bit of the flavor of an old naughty child. Targeting this old lady for no reason would not only do no good, but it would also easily backfire.

Moreover, Gao Zhendong had no doubts about the fact that the deaf old lady had donated shoes to the Red Army.

In the seventh episode of the TV series, the deaf old lady told Lou Xiao'e that her father secretly sent money to support the 18th Group Army, and even Lou Xiao'e didn't know about this. The deaf old lady who knew this must have done something in the past, and she was not just an ordinary widow.

A great man once said it well: "Make more friends and fewer enemies." He practiced this throughout his life.

With great men as examples, Gao Zhendong naturally followed suit. As a descendant of a martyr, Gao Zhendong's family background and the moral background of the deaf old lady are naturally close, and this old lady is really good to her own people. In the original TV series, the deaf old lady really goes all out when there is something wrong.

In his previous life, Gao Zhendong also saw someone say that the deaf old lady had done many of the worst things, such as locking Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu in the same room regardless of Lou Xiao'e's thoughts. In fact, if the broken house in the movie really wanted to get out, the lock only played a psychological role. As for why the two didn't get out, ask them themselves.

While thinking about it, Gao Zhendong exchanged 2 kilograms of high-gluten noodles and 1 kilogram of white sugar, held them in his hands, and walked through the main courtyard where the uncle, Sha Zhu, and the Jia family lived, and headed towards the backyard.

The main house in the backyard was where the deaf old lady lived. The door was closed at this time. Gao Zhendong walked to the door and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" An old voice asked from inside the room, and someone's footsteps came slowly towards them with a dragging sound on the ground.

With a "creak", the door opened. The old lady stuck half of her head out and looked at Gao Zhendong in confusion.

Gao Zhendong smiled before he spoke, and introduced himself loudly: "Old lady, my name is Gao Zhendong, and I am a college student who was just assigned to the steel rolling mill. The factory arranged for me to work in the front yard, and I just moved in yesterday. Now, I heard that you, the pillar of stability, are in the yard, so I came to see you."

The deaf old lady probably heard it clearly, and her guarded look dropped a bit. She opened the door and said, "Oh, the God of Literature has come to see me, old lady. Come in and sit down, come in and sit down."
