Cheng Jianjun raised his head and said proudly: "Of course it's true. I'm much more reliable than Zhou Chen, Yang Huajian and others."
Han Chunming ignored what he said next, jumped up excitedly, hugged Cheng Jianjun hard, and slapped Cheng Jianjun on the back.
"Jianjun, thank you, you are such a brother."
Cheng Jianjun was very proud to see that Han Chunming was moved by his few words. He and Han Chunming grew up in the same compound. Han Chunming had always been secretive and pushy since he was a child, so he was obsessed with figuring out how to manipulate Han Chunming.
"walk home."
Zhou Chen carried his bag and strolled on the street, following the path in his memory and heading towards his alley.
It is now 1975, not long after the Chinese New Year. Spring couplets are still posted on the doors of the houses on both sides of the alley, and lanterns and signs are hung on the eaves...
Zhou Chen experienced Yanjing in the 1970s, but at that time he mostly lived in apartment complexes. He had never lived in a courtyard like this in an alley.
There are still certain differences between the current Hutong courtyard houses and the later courtyard houses. Nowadays, basically every household is connected together, and the courtyard houses vary in size.
There are those with one entrance, those with two entrances and two exits, and those with three entrances and three exits, and there are even larger ones. After all, Zhengyang Gate is one of the nine gates of Yanjing, and countless dignitaries have lived here in the past.
Just like Mr. Guan and Hou Popohou in Zhengyangmen, they were all former nobles. There are many people like them, but most of them fell into trouble in the past few years.
Not everyone is as wise as Mr. Guan. Even the rag Hou was in trouble at the beginning. After he came out, he only dared to pick up rags and did not dare to keep a high profile.
Zhou Chen soon came to a separate courtyard. This was a set of courtyards with one entrance, which was his home in this world.
Zhou Chen's status in this world is that although his parents are no longer here, they still left him a house, which is this antique courtyard house in front of him.
The gate of the courtyard is in the southeast corner and is in the style of Ruyi Gate.
Standing in front of the courtyard gate, Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to push the gate open, but before his hand touched the gate, he saw the gate in front of him being opened from the inside.
"Xiaochen."
A voice full of surprise sounded, and a woman with a ponytail appeared in front of Zhou Chen. This woman was somewhat similar to him.
Seeing this woman, Zhou Chen couldn't help but shout: "Sister."
That's right, this woman is his biological sister in this world.
This time he traveled through time, but his age was advanced by a few years, but his appearance did not change at all. This biological sister was actually somewhat similar to him, which really surprised him.
Zhou Yi took Zhou Chen's hands with excitement on her face and kept looking at Zhou Chen.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Xiaochen, you have lost weight and you must have suffered when you jumped in line. My poor little brother, I am sorry for you."
As she spoke, Zhou Yi shed tears, her face full of distress and sadness.
Zhou Chen was very moved when he saw Zhou Yi's true feelings. He didn't know whether Zhou Yi really had deep feelings for him or whether Voldemort's skills played a role. It seemed that this biological sister was probably a Voldemort.
"Sister, please stop crying. I'm back well. Please be happy."
This "sister" call was very natural. He himself has a sister. Although he only met Zhou Yi for the first time today, he could feel Zhou Yi's deep feelings for him. This could not be faked.
Zhou Yi wiped her tears, but they still couldn't stop flowing.
"Yes, Xiaochen, you are right. My sister should be happy that you are back. My sister is so happy that she sheds tears."
When Zhou Yi's hand touched his cheek, Zhou Chen felt a little uncomfortable and quickly said: "Sister, there are people coming and going outside, let's go in quickly."
Only then did Zhou Yi realize that her brother was back, but she hadn't let him in yet.
"I'm sorry, it's my sister, isn't it? Xiaochen, come in quickly. My sister knows that you are coming back today. She has already tidied up the yard and boiled hot water for you. Come on, go in and I will pour some water for you to drink."
Zhou Chen followed Zhou Yi into the courtyard, and faced a screen wall. He bypassed the screen wall before entering the courtyard.
After careful inspection, although this courtyard is just a courtyard, it seems to be quite large in area, especially since the courtyard is very large, at least thirty or forty square meters.
There are some green plants planted in the yard, and you can tell at a glance that someone has carefully taken care of them and they are growing very well.
There are five rooms in the courtyard. The main room is the largest, with east and west wing rooms on both sides. The east wing room and the west wing room are on both sides. The east wing room is used as a kitchen, and the west wing room is used for storing sundries.
Although this house existed in his memory, Zhou Chen was still very surprised when he saw it.
Because this courtyard house is a very orthodox courtyard house and it is also very well maintained.
You must know that this is the 49th City of Yanjing. If it were placed a few decades later, the courtyard houses in the second ring road would definitely be worth tens of millions.
Although Zhou Chen felt that living in a courtyard house was not as comfortable as a villa, he was still very satisfied when he saw this courtyard house.
Walking into the room, Zhou Chen sat at the table and watched Zhou Yi busy serving him tea and water. He wanted to stop him, but he didn't know how to speak.
After being busy for a long time, Zhou Yi sat down next to Zhou Chen.
"Xiao Chen, my second uncle and my second aunt knew that you were coming back today. Originally my second aunt wanted to come, but she had something to do at her work unit, so she didn't come. But they asked me to let us go to their place for dinner together in the evening.
Let me catch the wind and wash away the dust for you."
"OK."
Zhou Chen did not refuse. In his memory, his second uncle and his second aunt were very kind to their siblings. This courtyard house was originally owned by his second uncle and his father. But later, after his second uncle moved out, the house was transferred directly to them.
The ownership was transferred to him.
So now he is the owner of this courtyard house.
Speaking of his unmasked father and his second uncle, they were both fighting heroes.
The three brothers of the Zhou family once participated in the great war in the 1950s. In that battle, the eldest brother of the Zhou family, the father of Zhou Chen and Zhou Yi, and the third eldest brother of the Zhou family were all sacrificed. In the end, only Zhou survived.
The second oldest child in the family.
When the eldest son of the Zhou family died, Zhou Chen was not yet born, so he had no impression of that 'father' in his memory.
Even though he had no impression at all, he knew a lot of stories about his father from his second uncle Zhou Liangping. Zhou Chen admired this fallen fighting hero from the bottom of his heart.
It is because of heroes like this that our country can have a stable life in the future.
"Xiaochen, my second uncle said that after you come back, you should rest for a while. Once you have rested, he will find a way to arrange work for you. If there is no good unit there, I will let your brother-in-law think about it.
There is no way, so don’t worry.”
Zhou Yi whispered, she knew that her younger brother must have suffered a lot when he jumped in line, so she wanted her younger brother to take good care of himself first and take good care of his body.
As for life, she is not worried at all. Not to mention the second uncle and second aunt, even they can give Zhou Chen a good living condition.
Zhou Chen did not refuse, but just replied with a smile: "I know, sister, you don't have to worry about me. I'm very fine. Although Xiaoqinghe is poor, they can still have enough to eat. I'm really fine; but you
You wrote to me before, saying that my little niece was born, why didn’t you bring her here today?”
Zhou Yi: "She is too young. I'm afraid that her coming will delay my work, so I asked my neighbor to help take care of her for a day. Your brother-in-law will take her to my second uncle's house in the evening, and you can see her then."
"oh."
Zhou Chen nodded, and then asked with a slight hesitation: "Sister, didn't I tell you before that you and your brother-in-law can live here, but I see that you don't live here at all."
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Yes, we lived here for a while. Later, wasn't it because your brother-in-law divided the house? It was close to his work, so we moved there."
Zhou Chen knew that Zhou Yi was telling the truth. In his memory, he also knew about the brother-in-law, but he and his sister were not married at that time.
