Chapter 175: The long-lost famous scene in the courtyard

"Hey! All the men are here!" Liu Zhiye greeted everyone with a smile.

The front yard was bustling with people at this moment. Liu Zhiye's family, Huazi's family, Yan Bugui's family, Wei Dazhong, Lao Qiantou, Widow Sun, Dachengzi, Lao Gao and about 20 to 30 other people were sitting together, and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Hey! Director Liu is back!"

"Yeah, it's been a while since we last met!"

"Director Liu, why don't you come and sit for a while?"

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded, exchanging a few words with them.

When the head horseman Yan Jiecheng saw Liu Zhiye coming back, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Brother Liu, you're back!" Then he gave up his small stool and said, "Brother Liu, please sit here and take a rest."

"Brother Jie Cheng, you're welcome. I'll go back to the house first. You can sit by yourself!" Liu Zhiye pushed him to sit down and said.

Then, he greeted Liu Jingzhai and his wife: "Dad, Mom, have you eaten?" Liu Jingzhai and Deng Ru smiled and nodded in response: "Zhiye, have you eaten? If not, Mom will heat it up for you!" Mother Liu's kind tone and smile made people feel warm.

"I've eaten, don't worry about anything!" He glanced at the scene and asked, "Mom, where is Xiao Ning?" Deng Ru replied, "In the house, go in and see your wife!"

Liu Zhiye nodded slightly and said lightly: "Okay!" Then he turned and walked into the east wing, leaving those people to continue talking about the past and the present.

"Zhiye, are you back?" Gan Ning was cleaning the room with a big belly, changing bedding and so on.

Seeing this, Liu Zhiye rushed forward to support her, "Hey! Take it easy, don't you know what's going on?"

Gan Ning retorted contemptuously: "Hey! It's no big deal. I'm not that valuable. What's the big deal about doing this little work? You know, women in rural areas still work in the fields the day before giving birth!" She said with an unconvinced tone.

"Okay, you're right. You should also be careful and not be careless..." Liu Zhiye started to chatter again.

Gan Ning rolled her eyes, feeling relieved and amused. She had never expected that her man could be so nagging sometimes.

"Okay, isn't it okay for me to listen to you? Please stop talking. I don't know where you get all this parenting experience from." Gan Ning said helplessly.

Liu Zhiye hugged her shyly and kissed her, but he thought in his heart: Of course this is the experience gained from the previous life!

"I'll help you with that."

"No need, I'll be there soon. You can go out and cool off!" Gan Ning pushed him out the door.

"Okay! Then come out quickly. It's hot and stuffy in the room, and you're all sticky."

Liu Zhiye took his big teacup from the living room, poured a cup of warm water into it, picked up a stool, and walked out like an old cadre.

He walked outside to the yard, put his stool on the ground, picked up the cup and drank a sip of warm water. The room was hot and stuffy, and his body was sticky, making him feel uncomfortable.

Liu Zhiye fanned the hot air with a palm leaf fan and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "How nice it would be if I had a bottle of iced Coke now..." He suddenly had an idea. Although there is no Coca-Cola in China, iced soda is also a good choice!
In today's daily life, carbonated drinks have become quite common. In Beijing, a soda called "Arctic Ocean" is undoubtedly the favorite of people.

Liu Zhiye thought to himself, if he could buy some "Arctic Ocean" soda, chill it, put it in the space, and drink it whenever he wanted, what a refreshing thing that would be!
Director Liu was immersed in beautiful imagination, which made Yan Bugui ask curiously.

"Director Liu! What wonderful things are you thinking about?" Yan Bugui asked curiously as he looked at Liu Zhiye's smug smile.

"Hey, I'm not imagining things, Uncle. Why didn't you play chess tonight?" Liu Zhiye responded.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "When playing chess, you need to meet a worthy opponent. If you don't come back, no one in my courtyard will be able to match you!"

"What do you want, man? Have a plate?"

"Okay, I'll play a few games with you." Liu Zhiye said proudly as he looked at his chess skills, which had reached a high level.

When Yan Bugui heard this, he immediately went back to the house with a smile on his face and took out a chess set. The two of them started fighting fiercely face to face.

The two of them were sometimes in deep thought, sometimes cheering, and the situation on the chessboard was unpredictable, making it a feast for the eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Jingzhai and others on the side also gathered over. The men, young and old, gathered together, chattering and fighting.

Playing chess is a game between men, and few women get involved. Perhaps women are not interested in this kind of fighting and killing.

Playing chess in the yard is actually just for fun. It is supposed to be mental work, but it often leads to verbal battles.

It is said that a true gentleman watches a game of chess without saying a word, but no one follows the rules. Since the stall is set up in the yard, it is suspected that they are calling in reinforcements.

The spectators are often much more excited than the players. Their skills may not be good, but their voices must be loud. The supporters on both sides are on edge, rolling up their sleeves and wishing they could play chess themselves, which often disturbs the players' concentration.

Some people who see things clearly just take it easy, while some people who are not careful, seeing that they are bound to lose, simply push the chessboard over, curse and mutter and leave the table in anger.

When playing chess, you can't take it too seriously. Most of the time, winning or losing is not determined by you, but by the spectators. They have their own philosophy: if you watch a game of chess without saying anything, you are not a gentleman; if you see someone in danger but don't help, you are a villain.

Maybe their real level is not good enough, but don't forget that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. With collective wisdom, there will always be someone who will suddenly come up with an idea and openly point out the winning move.

In the face of a cacophony of noise, there must be only a few people who can keep their minds steady and respond calmly.

A group of people were having a great time fighting.

Suddenly, Banggeng ran in from the outer yard crying and shouting, "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu...", disturbing everyone's fun.

Seeing this, the third aunt was about to stop him and ask what happened, but the boy twisted his body and ran past her to the middle courtyard, glaring at her fiercely.

The third aunt muttered in confusion: "What is this kid doing? This is..."

Deng Ru smiled and consoled him, "Maybe he just went crazy with his friends. It's not a big deal if kids are fighting and playing around..."

After hearing this, everyone didn't take it seriously and continued to work on their own things.

……

That night, something happened in the yard!

Around 10 o'clock in the evening, people who were enjoying the cool air had just laid down and were falling asleep.

Suddenly, in the middle of the night, there was the sound of glass breaking on the ground, "bang!" "crack!" "whoosh!" It was particularly harsh.

Even Liu Zhiye, who lived in the front yard, clearly heard the sound of breaking glass. He woke up instantly and got up. Could it be that someone had entered the yard?

Then, Yi Zhonghai's voice was heard again: "Come quickly! Catch the thief!"

Liu Zhiye did not waste any more time. He quickly put on his clothes and went out to check the situation. Before doing so, he told Gan Ning, who was also awakened, to close the door and be alert.

Gan Ning responded seriously: "Zhiye, you should be careful too!"

Liu Zhiye nodded in agreement and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry! If we really run into some petty thief, it can only be considered that he is unlucky, hahaha..." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the house and ran straight to the central courtyard.

At this moment, Sha Zhu in the middle courtyard was also awakened by the noise. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked out of the house, and saw Yi Zhonghai jumping up and down, angrily cursing: "Which bastard broke the glass of my house..."

Sha Zhu asked in dissatisfaction: "I say, Uncle Yi, why are you not sleeping at this late hour? What are you trying to do?"

"Sha Zhu, did you see who smashed the glass in my house?" Yi Zhonghai questioned Sha Zhu angrily.

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, "Hey! Uncle Yi, the glass in your house was broken?" He was sleeping so soundly just now that he didn't hear the sound of the glass breaking, but he heard Yi Zhonghai wailing.

At this moment, Liu Zhiye also rushed over and asked anxiously: "Uncle Yi, what's going on? Whose house was robbed?"

When Sha Zhu saw Liu Zhiye coming, he quickly greeted him, "Hey! Brother Liu, you came at the right time. The glass of Uncle Yi's house was broken..."

When Liu Zhiye heard this, he realized that it wasn't a thief who broke in, but someone had smashed the glass in Yi Zhonghai's house.

As they were talking, other people also rushed over.

Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong's family, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, Yan Bugui's family, He Yushui and others rushed to the scene.

Yi Zhonghai calmed down at this moment. After seeing Liu Zhiye, he pleaded, "Director Liu, you have to take care of this matter. There are bad guys in our hospital who are maliciously destroying it."

Liu Zhiye nodded to him and said seriously, "Don't worry, Uncle Yi. We will never let off such bad elements lightly. By the way, it's just the broken glass, there's no other damage, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He was so scared and angry that he didn't bother to check the damage at home.

He quickly said: "We have to take a closer look..."

Liu Zhiye said seriously: "Uncle Yi, don't worry, I will check the scene first."
