Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 178 Ximen Gathering

After being called out of the office by this female comrade, Zhang Fengkai never went back.

After wandering around the lobby and the kitchen, I happened to see Ning Yuan at the front desk.

"Brother Ning!"

Zhang Fengkai walked over quickly and greeted Ning Yuan.

"Hey, Manager Zhang is here too!"

When Ning Yuan saw that it was an old acquaintance, he immediately responded.

"What's going on?" Zhang Fengkai asked after looking at the female comrade at the front desk who had an anxious expression on her face.

Ning Yuan didn't wait for the little girl to speak, and told her what had just happened.

"Hey, I thought something was wrong! Wasn't it just about those people who helped you pay the bill?"

When Zhang Fengkai heard about this, he immediately replied with a smile.

"Brother Ning, you really opened our eyes!"

Zhang Fengkai joked.

Ning Yuan frowned and asked him what he meant.

"This is the first time I've seen four groups of people vying for one another's bills at the same time! Honestly, if there weren't any rules, I, Old Zhang, would have paid for you. There would be no need for them, hahaha!"

Zhang Fengkai said with a grin.

When Ning Yuan heard that the money was paid by four groups together, he felt even more embarrassed. At this moment, he thought that they didn't have much money and needed to pool their money to treat him to this meal.

So I couldn't hold back my desire to give back.

"Lao Zhang, tell me, what did they look like? Did they leave any names?"

Ning Yuan asked.

"I haven't found any names yet, but I think one of the young men looked quite distinctive. He wasn't tall, but had a stocky build."

Ning Yuan fits the description perfectly!

"Is it this kid Dilei?" Ning Yuan muttered.

Then he said hello to Zhang Fengkai and left the restaurant with Xiao Ningwei and a dozen friends.

Anyway, we are going to meet at the Temple of Heaven Park tomorrow, so I’ll ask Cheng Dilei tomorrow.

When they returned to Xizhimen, it was already completely dark. Ning Yuan and his group all moved directly into this two-courtyard house.

This so-called two-courtyard house is actually not much bigger than a normal small courtyard house.

The main door of this house is not in the center.

The main gate is about a quarter of the way to the right. After entering through the main gate, there is a small ear room on the right.

On the left is a row of back rooms, which are similar in size to the ear rooms.

Further in is the door to the backyard, but it is just a doorway and there is no wooden door installed.

The backyard is where they actually live.

There are two side rooms on each side, and a row of three large rooms in the front.

When Ning Yuan and his friends were cleaning up the house yesterday, they turned the largest room in the middle into a large reception room. This way, it could accommodate both friends who came to play and the small auction he planned to hold in the future.

All can be displayed in this hall.

There are large kangs in the side rooms on both sides, which can easily accommodate four or five people.

After lighting the stove next to the kang, the whole room became very warm in a short time.

Ning Yuan placed these eleven young men in the left and right wing rooms, with two or three people sleeping in one room, which was enough space for them.

He and Xiao Ningwei slept in the room on the left side of the main house. He turned the room on the right into a small storage room for supplies. The windows were often open, so the temperature in the room would not rise. The food was fine, and the stored meat could also be kept for a long time.

After boiling water on the stove, Ning Yuan and little Ning Wei washed up together before going to bed.

It wasn't even the fifteenth day of the first lunar month yet, and the weather in the city was quite windy. After running around outside all day, I returned home at night feeling my feet were cold in my officer boots.

The warm kang feels great on my feet, and covered with a thick quilt, it’s so comfortable!

I slept until dawn!

Just after 7:30, someone in the yard had already started sweeping the yard.

Ning Yuan also put on his clothes. After greeting several young people in the yard who had gotten up early, he asked them to quickly wake up those who had not yet gotten up.

I still have to eat breakfast in the morning, and by the way, wait here for Fatty Fan, Zhang Haiyang, Hu Youzhi and others.

Today's show at the Temple of Heaven Park is at 10 o'clock, so it's still early.

Ning Yuan asked these brothers to have some of them clean the house and arrange the bedding, and the other part to go to the house on the right side of the main hall, get millet, eggs and corn flour, and make some simple food.

I was so busy that it took me an hour to finish breakfast.

At around 8:30, Fatty Fan, Zhang Haiyang and several other groups of people also entered the yard one after another.

Ning Yuan simply left the yard to little Ning Wei to look after, and then took many brothers out of the yard and headed straight for the Temple of Heaven Park.

They came from Xizhimen along Beiwei Road, and just around the corner was the west gate of the Temple of Heaven Park.

As soon as Ning Yuan and his companions arrived at the west gate, they saw that a lot of people had gathered at the gate.

The shadowy figures looked like there were over a hundred people.

Although it was not clear whether it was the person he summoned, since they had already met, Ning Yuan had no reason to retreat.

Not to mention that he is now followed by seventy or eighty buddies. Even if there weren't so many people to back him up, Ning Yuan would still dare to go up and ask him a few questions.

After all, he has a high status and has helped many troublemakers in the compound.

Ning Yuan really didn't believe that anyone in the various compounds would dare to challenge him.

Of course, if it’s a hutong youth, that’s a different story!

Just like that, Ning Yuan led the people behind him and moved forward.

When he got closer, Ning Yuan realized that his previous concerns were purely unnecessary. The group of people in front of him were Du Weidong, Li Yanjun, Feng Sanyuan and their group, and there was also a young man wearing a military officer's woolen coat with gauze wrapped around his head.

Ning Yuan went over to take a closer look and found that it was Luo Yang. Last time, he was protecting Zhou Xiaobai and his sister Luo Yun at the market and was beaten by a group of alley thugs.

If Zhong Yuemin hadn't come to the rescue, this kid probably wouldn't be able to leave the hospital today.

It seems that this kid is also a restless guy. He rushed over to join in the fun even though his injury hasn't healed yet.

After Ning Yuan, Zhang Haiyang and a few others went over to say hello to these guys, they stopped the team here and waited together.

It was almost ten o'clock, and seven or eight groups of people gathered at Ning Yuan's side one after another, including Tian Huairen, He Xiaodong, Tang Aimin and others, and a few who had dinner at Lao Mo yesterday. They came over to toast, and Ning Yuan mentioned them by the way.

There are over a hundred people in these groups.

Ning Yuan saw that the west gate was in chaos and it was probably getting late.

I walked up to the high steps at the west gate entrance and glanced at the group of guys gathered at the door.

The crowd was densely packed, talking, laughing and joking. There must be at least three hundred of them.

(It’s almost in the top 500 of the gift list. Thanks to all the brothers for their support. Huzi thanks you. If you’re not busy, just give Huzi a like for love! Thank you so much!!)
