Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

Chapter 15: Introductions are everywhere

Close the door to the main room, bolt the door from the inside, and bolt the door to the back room from the inside. Check it carefully to make sure it is safe.

After moving everything in the bedroom into the space, Lin Shengli began to paint the room.

Lin Shengli painted the house quickly without being disturbed. The tools were handy and the paint was ready-made. The house was painted quickly.

Since it was a quick-drying paint, it was almost dry soon after painting. However, after Lin Shengli restored the furnishings of the house to the original, he opened all the doors and windows again to ventilate the paint.

Even if the high-tech quick-drying formaldehyde-free diatom mud paint has no odor, ventilation is always good.

After the house was painted, Lin Shengli immediately fetched water and wiped all the windows clean. As for whether privacy would be exposed because the glass was too clean, Lin Shengli was well prepared.

Lin Shengli used the mosquito net material bought from the supply and marketing cooperative as an inner curtain. He closed the mosquito net during the day and closed the inner curtain at night. This way, people outside would have no chance of peeking.

After finishing all the work at hand, Lin Shengli walked around the house from inside to outside.

Well, not bad, it looks like I have a home.

Even though Lin Shengli seemed to be busy with so many things without stopping, in fact he was not tired at all.

He would drink when he was tired, sleepy, or hungry after doing all this work...

Ahem~ No, there is no sponsorship or anything like this, so there will be no advertising.

When Lin Shengli gets tired, he goes to the space to rest, and then comes out to continue working after he has rested.

Because he works behind closed doors, he is not afraid of others seeing him suddenly disappearing.

Anyway, after two hours of rest in the space, only a little over a minute has passed.

After finishing the work in the house, I closed the doors and windows and set up a small mechanism for the door entering the house. This mechanism prevents the seemingly unlocked door from being easily pushed open unless you violently break in. There is nothing you can do about it.

Although the people of this era are simple and simple, in most places it is possible to keep the doors open at night and not pick up lost items on the road. It is not the habit of locking the door when going out.

But what kind of place is this? This is a courtyard house in Nanluogu Lane, Hongxing Street. It is home to the Jia and Zhang family, especially the courtyard house where the Thief Saint Stick is present. It is necessary to be careful.

Although there is nothing very valuable at home, the only food Lin Shengli puts in the kitchen is a few cabbage, a few potatoes, and a small half bag of corn noodles in the rice vat, but the clothes and bedding in the house are all New, this is not worth it if it makes Banggeng laugh.

After finishing his work, Lin Shengli still had to go to Shichahai today.

Seeing Lin Shengli come out of the house, several aunts who were chatting in the middle courtyard immediately started talking to each other:
"Sheng Li, are you tired of painting the wall? How about I call someone from my family to come over and help you?"

Another said: "This one person is too tired to do it. Everyone lives in the same yard, and one person helps each other, and the work is finished quickly."

"Lao Shi's nephew, please don't be embarrassed. He is a neighbor in the street. If you have something to talk to, please talk to me."

Hearing the chattering words of the aunts, Lin Shengli smiled and said: "Thank you all for your kindness. I'm not being polite. I've already finished it."

"It's finished now. Have you finished painting the main room?" an aunt asked.

These aunts thought that Lin Shengli had to clean up the house and soak the whitewash and lime all by himself. If he could finish painting the main room in one afternoon, this was considered a capable young man.

These people have no idea that what they think is just what they think.

Lin Shengli painted all three houses in just one afternoon. Not only that, he also repaired the windows and installed curtains.

"Yeah, it's done." Lin Shengli didn't explain anything to these aunts. If they misunderstood, just let it go.

After working all afternoon, Lin Shengli, who was tired and sweaty, decided to take a shower first and get a haircut. After all, he would officially go to work at the steel rolling mill tomorrow and he had to clean up neatly.

There was a bathhouse on the street not far from the alley entrance. I first got a haircut for [-] cents, and then took a nice bath for [-] cents.

Feeling refreshed after taking a shower, Lin Shengli found a deserted place, took out his bicycle and rode towards Shichahai.

As for this bicycle, after I officially go to work tomorrow, I can take it out openly in two days.

When Lin Shengli left the courtyard to take a bath, those nosy aunts went to the backyard to take a look at Lin Shengli's house.

However, when Lin Shengli left, the doors and windows were closed, and the double curtains in each room were closed, so nothing could be seen from the outside.

From the middle door of the main room, you can vaguely see the white and bright main room through the mosquito net.

When they found that they couldn't see anything, some aunties turned around and left.

Some aunts actually suggested opening the door and going in to take a look.

Regarding this aunt's proposal, almost no other aunts agreed.

After all, if there is no one at home, why would you just enter someone else's home casually?

Isn't it just a newly renovated main room? It's not like I've never seen it before, so why are you so curious!
After Lin Shengli arrived at Shichahai and wandered around, he found a place and took out his fishing gear to catch fish for a while. He did not notice the appearance of the old comrade who always stared at him intentionally or unintentionally.

After pretending to fish for a while, I used special fish food to catch a grass carp weighing about four or five kilograms.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Shengli decided to pack up and go back.

When we arrived at the courtyard, the courtyard was quite lively. There were people chatting together in twos and threes, some collecting shoe soles, and some walking around the courtyard.

After Lin Shengli entered the gate, he smiled and greeted everyone in the front yard.

"Third uncle, second aunt, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Wang, Uncle Hu..."

"Oh, this nephew from the old Shi family is really energetic. Has he found a partner yet?"

"This young man is really nice. I heard he is also a technician at a steel rolling mill."

"Young man, I have a niece at home. Auntie will introduce her to you some other time."

"I'm talking about Aunt Wang, your lazy niece who only eats at home every day and doesn't work or have a job. You have the nerve to introduce her to Technician Lin. Is she worthy of her?"

"Hey, Aunt Huang, look what you said, why is my niece not worthy of her..."

Lin Shengli smiled and did not respond to the gossip from the neighbors in the yard.

When Lin Shengli, who had just stepped into the central courtyard, was greeting these elders and aunties, he happened to be taken aback by the third uncle who was walking in the central courtyard.

Seeing the fish in Lin Shengli's hand, the third uncle's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly walked to Lin Shengli.
