Chapter 4: Meeting Everyone for the First Time
Wang Jianfeng didn't do much to clean up, mainly because there was nothing to clean up. He still had to renovate the house before he could officially move in.

In fact, all houses of this era are like this. Most of them can be moved in after just cleaning. However, he really cannot accept the toilets of this era. Moreover, it seems that he will have to live in this house for at least 20 to 30 years, not to mention that he is going to get married soon. In order not to mistreat himself and to stockpile supplies in the future, redecoration is an inevitable choice.

Afterwards, Wang Jianfeng took the letter of introduction and went to a nearby guesthouse to stay temporarily.

I have to say that the conditions in guesthouses of that era were really simple. There was a bed, a quilt, a stool, a kettle, and nothing else.

After putting away his backpack and taking his shoulder bag, Wang Jianfeng went to a nearby state-owned restaurant and had a quick bite to eat. Then he looked at the sky and walked towards the courtyard. Without a cell phone or a watch, he had to rely on his two legs to travel. I guess there is no other time traveler who is more miserable than him.

Wang Jianfeng thought that he must buy these things now while tickets are still needed. After this year, tickets will be needed to buy everything. As for hoarding supplies and taking the opportunity to make a fortune, that is out of the question. Speculation is extremely dangerous. At best, he will end up eating sand in the northwest, and at worst, he may end up eating peanuts.

Then Wang Jianfeng walked slowly towards the courtyard.

When Wang Jianfeng walked to the gate of the courtyard, suddenly, shouts rang out from the central courtyard.

"Grandson, don't run away, I will beat you to death"

"Silly Zhu, don't be so arrogant. Grandpa is about to run away. What can you do to me?"

"Stop, stop, or I'll beat you to death"

"Uncle, look at this idiot Zhu beating people up again. He's really bullying people. Please give him some advice."

"Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense. Who asked you to provoke me? If you say that again, I will beat you up."

Another voice sounded from the middle courtyard.

It really lived up to the saying “watching the fun is everyone’s nature”, Wang Jianfeng suddenly felt no more pain in his waist and back, and he ran straight in.

Some people were surrounding these three people, two of them looked to be in their twenties, one looked silly and looked mature in his thirties, and one looked like a horse with a pointed face and monkey cheeks. Obviously, these two people should be the happy enemies of the courtyard, He Yuzhu (Silly Zhu) and Xu Damao. The middle-aged man who was trying to stop the fight between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao and looked like a gentleman should be Yi Zhonghai.

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, a loud shout came from the crowd, "Shazhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you fighting with Xu Damao again?"

Following the voice, Wang Jianfeng looked at the person and laughed, "This must be the second uncle with bangs. This must be his addiction to power. He really looks like the character in the TV series."

The crowd parted, and a middle-aged fat man with a fierce face and a big belly came out. Seeing He Yuzhu beating Xu Damao again, he came up and scolded He Yuzhu without knowing the truth.

Seeing that his second uncle Liu Haizhong was backing him up, Xu Damao knew that Liu Haizhong was a fool and liked to put on airs, so he tried to please him and put on a flattering look.

"Second uncle, you are the one in charge of our hospital, you have to make the decision for me!" Xu Damao quickly said to Liu Haizhong

"As soon as Shazhu got home today, he came to beat me for no apparent reason," Xu Damao continued.
"Shazhu, what's going on?" Uncle Yi Zhonghai asked calmly and seriously. He Yuzhu cried out in grievance when he heard Yi Zhonghai's question, "Uncle, it was Xu Damao's grandson who framed me and ruined my reputation, so I hit him."

"Okay, it's just a small matter. I'll make the decision and let this matter end here. Xu Damao is not allowed to say bad things about Sha Zhu anymore, and Sha Zhu, don't hit Xu Damao anymore," Yi Zhonghai said directly.
Then he turned to the two middle-aged couples who had just come in and said, "Mr. Xu and sister-in-law, do you think this is okay?"

"Let it be, it's just a fight between kids," said Xu Fugui.

"Okay, in that case, let's get down to business. Old Yan told me that a new resident came to the yard today, and Director Wang said he would arrange for them to meet at home so that they can help each other in the future," Yi Zhonghai continued.

"Young comrade, you must be the new resident," Yi Zhonghai turned and said to Wang Jianfeng. At this time, everyone also noticed the newcomer Wang Jianfeng.

"Hello uncle, I am Wang Jianfeng, the new resident in the front yard," Wang Jianfeng said immediately.
Then Yi Zhonghai said to He Liuhaizhong and Yan Bugui, "Old Liu and Old Yan, ask Guangtian, Guangfu and Jiecheng to notify everyone to come to the meeting."

Soon we arrived at the Central Courtyard.

"Today's meeting is mainly about one thing. Today we have a new resident, Wang Jianfeng, who has moved into our courtyard. Let's welcome him." Yi Zhonghai said

There were only a few middle-aged women in the crowd who could be saved. Sha Zhu and the little girl next to him clapped their hands, while everyone else remained silent.

Seeing this, Wang Jianfeng felt sad. This yard is really full of beasts!

That little girl should be He Yushui. Sha Zhu when he was young and He Yushui when he was a child were still very kind. Wang Jianfeng kept it in mind and will try to change the fate of the two siblings if he has the chance in the future. However, they may not be willing, so it depends on the situation.

Wang Jianfeng stood in the middle of the crowd and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Jianfeng, and I am currently a section officer at the steel mill. Please give me your help in the future."

Then the third uncle Yan Bugui enthusiastically took Wang Jianfeng and introduced everyone one by one.
"Jianfeng, let me introduce you. I am your uncle Yi Zhonghai, and this is your aunt, this is..."

Living in the front yard are: Wang Jianfeng's own small courtyard, which occupies one third of the front yard and has the most houses in the courtyard so far, with the yard covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters; then there is the family of the third uncle Yan Bugui, who has a wing room, a main room and an aisle room; there are two other families living in the wing rooms next to it, and the ear rooms are divided among three families.

Living in the central courtyard are: the couple Yi Zhonghai, the "God of Morality", and his wife, who have a main house and a wing room of about 70 square meters; the brother and sister He Yuzhu and He Yushui, the "Courtyard God of War", who are chefs at the steel rolling mill and earn 37.5 yuan a month, who live in two main rooms and a wing room in the central courtyard; the family of Jia Dongxu, the apprentice of the uncle; the two families of Zhang Dashan and Zhao Sihai who live in the wing room; the Yang family and the Li family who live in two wing rooms; and the back room which is empty and filled with sundries.

Those living in the backyard are: those living in the west wing are Xu Damao's family of four. At that time, Xu Damao had just entered the steel rolling mill as a projectionist. His parents and sister have not moved out yet, but according to the timeline, they will soon; then there is the second uncle Liu Haizhong's family, a family of five. Liu Guangqi should have just been admitted to high school, and the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are still in school. They are the family that beats their children when they have nothing to do; then there is the deaf old lady; there are also three residents in the back wing, and two residents in the ear room.

After more than ten minutes, Wang Jianfeng became familiar with everyone in the courtyard.

However, looking at the jealousy in the eyes of the people who greeted him, Wang Jianfeng knew that the days ahead would not be peaceful. The reason why it was so peaceful today was mainly because Wang Jianfeng had just arrived and no one knew his background, and also because of the cadre organization. However, Wang Jianfeng had also made up his mind that after moving in, he would try to keep a low profile, live his own life behind closed doors, and lend a hand if he could.

Afterwards, the old man announced the end of the meeting and everyone left. Wang Jianfeng also returned to the guesthouse.
