Afternoon.
A little more.
Within Courtyard House.
Dong Xuebin bought some Juewei Duck Neck from outside. I ate this for lunch. It was time-consuming. I ate duck neck while watching a movie in East Room's study.
Bang bang. The Power of Time and Wealth 1614
Someone knocked on the door.
Someone outside the hospital shouted, "Little Dong, are you at home?"
Dong Xuebin quickly took off his plastic gloves and wiped the oil on his hands. He kicked open the door and shouted to the outside, "I'm at Aunt Zheng, wait a moment, I'll be here soon." The yard is naturally big, but the only drawback is that the road is too long. He has to walk through the long yard, turn a corner, and walk a few more steps. When he got to the door, he wanted to install an electric door like a villa, but that didn't work. That would ruin the atmosphere of Courtyard House. Moreover, this was a protected area. If he wanted to remove the wooden door, the state would definitely not let him. Think about it, the easiest way is to leave the outside door unlocked when there are people at home. When someone comes, they can just push the door and come in.
The entrance of the courtyard.
The door creaked open.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Aunt Zheng, Big Sister Ci, are you here?"
Big Sister Ci smiled and said, "Are you taking a nap?"
"No." Dong Xuebin raised his hand, "I just finished eating. I got some oil on my hands and wiped them with paper before I freed my hands to open the door."
"Why don't you eat well? Can the duck neck be used as food?" Aunt Zheng complained.
Dong Xuebin said, "Hey, aren't you alone? I can make do with it."
Aunt Zheng took his hand and put a lunch box on it, "Just in time, aunt brought you some beef. My wife stewed it. It's delicious. Our family is very spicy and a little salty. I don't know if you are used to it. Mixed noodles are best. It's so delicious to make some beef noodles today."
Dong Xuebin sighed and said, "Thank you and uncle, then."
Aunt Zheng said, "You are a neighbor in the street, why are you so polite?"
"Okay, I'll take the lunch box back to you after I finish eating." After Dong Xuebin finished speaking, he quickly gave way and said, "Quickly, please come inside."
Aunt Zheng snorted and went in.
Big Sister Ci also looked inside curiously and followed him into the yard.
"You two watch first. Sit down and I'll give you two a glass of water." Dong Xuebin entered the north room, scattered tea leaves, poured water, and brought it out.
I saw Aunt Zheng and Big Sister Ci pointing in the courtyard.
"How wonderful." The Power of Time and Wealth 1614
"Yes. The layout is much better than ours."
"Not only is it much better, how big is the yard? The Small Courtyard we have there is only one-tenth of this. Look at this Northern Region, it's so spacious!"
"This is the best courtyard in our alley."
"That's right. Look at this large area. The two of us Courtyard House are put together on the top. The house is also right, oh, East Room has been converted into a study?"
"There seems to be a bathroom in that room."
"That's the guest room? It's really all right."
Aunt Zheng and Big Sister Ci looked at it with admiration. It was indeed different from their yard. The area is so large, not to mention Northern Region or West Room, even the kitchen in the south room is as large as the house where Aunt Zheng's family lives. Even the kitchen might be a little bigger than their home. One is where several people are crowded into a kitchen-sized room, and the other is where one person occupies a large yard. The gap is not huge.
Dong Xuebin smiled and put the water on the stone table, "You two have water to drink, and there are fruits."
"Little Dong, your home is really nice." Aunt Zheng said sincerely, "If I had such a yard, it would be enough for my whole life, haha."
Big Sister Ci also lamented. "Look at this yard, the children can play football."
Dong Xuebin knew how good his family was, but obviously he couldn't say that, so he immediately said a few words of humility. Not long after, the three of them were sitting under the shade of Toona sinensis tree in the center of the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting. Dong Xuebin is resting and chatting happily with his neighbors.
We were chatting happily.
Didi, beep, the car horn sounded!
Immediately afterwards, there was another long series of horns!
There was no Rooftop in the yard, so the sound came directly in, which was very harsh. Dong Xuebin felt his eardrums hurt when he heard it, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Shall we go inside?"
"Okay, it's a bit noisy."
The three of them went to the north room and continued chatting.
But just after saying a few words, the horn rang again, this time it was a bit overwhelming, as if there were four or five cars honking at the same time, and there were vague curses mixed in.
"How did you park the car?"
"Are they those cars again?"
"Who else could it be besides them? Bastards!" The Power of Time and Wealth 1614
"Yes! Do you think it is immoral? This is so immoral!"
There were constant scoldings, and it seemed to be very lively outside.
Dong Xuebin didn't quite understand the situation, "Big Sister Ci, Aunt Zheng, what's wrong?"
Aunt Zheng's face didn't look very good either, "It must be that group of government cadres' cars that are stuck there again. I don't know how many times this has happened in the past few months."
Big Sister Ci said angrily, "Go out and take a look?"
The three of them walked to the door and opened the courtyard door.
When he came out, Dong Xuebin frowned. The whole alley seemed to have been blocked. Five or six cars were crowded in front and back. There were also tricycles, electric cars and bicycles. It was even difficult to pass. You had to get through the gaps between the cars. When he looked at the culprits at the front, it turned out to be three Audi cars. Dong Xuebin also knew the license plates very clearly. These three cars belonged to Cheng West District District Government. I saw the three Audis parked at the entrance of the alley. One car almost blocked the entrance of a Courtyard House, and the other two cars were parked side by side, leaving only an arm's length. Bicycles could pass, but cars definitely couldn't. Unless they flew over, it would almost block the entrance of the alley.
"Why are you parking like this?" Dong Xuebin said, "There is no room in the alley. Find another place to park. Where is the road blocked?"
Aunt Zheng said, "We have few parking spaces here, and it's the same outside. Well, there is an office not far away. Every time there is a meeting, they park their cars randomly and block everything. It's very annoying, especially for us. The old neighbor had reported it to Neighborhood Committee, but the cars belonged to "government" cadres, and Neighborhood Committee couldn't do anything about it. After communicating several times, it still didn't work, and the people who parked their cars blindly kept getting more and more aggressive."
Big Sister Ci hummed. "There must be another meeting today! These people!"
Dong Xuebin said, "It's been a long time? No one has come to move the car?"
Aunt Zheng said, "I moved reluctantly a month ago, but then they all pretended that they couldn't hear me, and then slowly You You drove away after the meeting, just like normal people!"
An old man next to him was also leaning on a cane and said angrily, "How wicked! I have bad legs and feet. I can't squeeze out even if I want to. I have to go around the alley in the back!"
Big Sister Ci said, "It's time for someone to punish them! Isn't this bullying!"
