Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

It was lunch time, and there were four or five tables of customers in the restaurant.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, two or three people immediately raised their hands: "I know the road, I will take you there."

"Come on, Zhang Laosan, you haven't left the house all day, you don't know the way around. I, Mr. Li, have been running around outside for four days, and there is no place in the city that I don't know. You are right to lead the way to me."

The other person saw Li Laosi speaking and gave up on his own initiative: "Then you can find Li Laosi. He runs around the city every day and should be the most familiar with the roads."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Li Laosi, right? Let's go!"

After saying that, he took out ten dollars from his pocket and handed it over: "We are in a hurry, so please show us the fastest way."

Li Laosi did not reach out to take the money: "I'll give it to you when you get there. If you're not happy, I won't give you the money."

Nowadays, those who can own a car are not ordinary people. He is not afraid of Jiang Chen defaulting on his debt at all.

Jiang Chen smiled: "Okay."

Then he took out a cigarette and handed it over: "My car is outside, let's go!"

Li Laosi reached out and took the cigarette: "You can have this."

When he came to the car, Jiang Chen said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, you sit in the back and let him sit in front so he can lead the way."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, got up and went to the back row.

Li Laosi glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and praised sincerely: "My wife is so beautiful."

Just as Jiang Chen was about to deny it, Shangguan Wan'er spoke first: "Thank you!"

With an acquaintance leading the way, the speed will naturally be much faster.

In less than half an hour, they left the city and rushed to the entrance of the highway.

Jiang Chen took out the money from his pocket: "Thanks, brother!"

This time Li Laosi did not refuse: "Brother, you are too polite. If you give me money to do something, of course I will do it for you."

“In terms of my familiarity with Rehe, I definitely rank in the top three.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Okay, let's catch up on old times when we have the opportunity in the future. Today we have something important to do and need to rush back to Sijiu City, so we'll leave first."

Li Laosi jumped out of the car: "Slow down on the road, safety first."

Li Laosi got out of the car, and Shangguan Wan'er came from the back row to the front row.

Jiang Chen said: "It's great to sit in the back row. What are you doing in the front? There's no seat belt."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "My mother asked me to keep an eye on you, in case you fell asleep while driving and couldn't see from behind."

Jiang Chen said: "Don't worry, I can't sleep, I'm in good spirits."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Then I have to watch."

"By the way, what did you just say about seat belts?"

Jiang Chen smiled: "Nothing, just say it casually. Then sit down, we are about to set off."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "How about you smoke a cigarette before leaving?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that if I smoke too much, my life will be in danger like Director Yang in my forties?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "It's okay, you're not as strong a smoker as him, just don't smoke too much."

Jiang Chen took out a cigarette and lit it: "Sure, I am an obedient person."

Shangguan Wan'er curled her lips: "I think the main focus is on a philanderer!"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "What you said is true. He is too charming, and coupled with his extraordinary talent, I am also very distressed."

"If you don't believe me, ask your three mistresses. They are happier than me with so many helpers."

If Shangguan Wan'er lived in the courtyard, Zhao Qi's matter would no longer be kept secret, so she would just tell her directly.

Sure enough, Shangguan Wan'er discovered the problem keenly: "Three?"

"Who else is there besides the two I know?"

"Zhao Qi, my fellow countryman, I have been playing together since childhood, and now works at the Ministry of Foreign Trade."

"Hey, childhood sweetheart!" Shangguan Wan'er looked a little unnatural.

Jiang Chen threw away the cigarette: "Sit down and let's go."

The scenery along the way is beautiful and pleasant.

It's just that it was night when I came, so I couldn't watch it.

When I went back, I had something on my mind and was not in the mood to watch.

After walking for a long time, Shangguan Wan'er finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, what would you do if a few ladies quarreled?"

Jiang Chen said: "As long as the noise is not too much, I won't care and let Liu Yue take care of it."

"If it goes too far, arrest them all and serve them according to family rules. No one will be tolerated."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "So, the Fourth Master Madam Liu Yue?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, she is not the oldest, but the one who followed me first is also the one who handles things in the most measured way."

"Also, don't forget that she is the virtuous wife of a great country's craftsmen, and she is truly officially recognized."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "No wonder you left the laboratory to her."

Jiang Chen asked: "I heard that you have a younger sister?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Yes, her name is Shangguan Yu'er. Our names are all based on my mother's name."

"She is a wild girl. She runs around outside all day long and is rarely at home all year round."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "It's not safe for a girl to run outside."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "It's okay. She studies ancient martial arts and is very skilled. It's good that she doesn't bully others."

Seeing what Shangguan Wan'er said, Jiang Chen didn't say much.

Since it was daytime, the road was much easier to walk.

Jiang Chen and Shangguan Wan'er set off at noon and arrived at the hospital before five o'clock in the afternoon.

After hurriedly parking the car, Jiang Chen took Wan'er straight to the ward.

He heard bursts of crying from a distance, and he secretly thought something was wrong.

Jiang Chen walked over and took a look, and saw a large crowd of people crowded around the door of the ward.

Most of the main leaders in the factory are here.

Zhou Xinjian sat alone in a corner, holding his head in his hands.

There were many people he didn't know.

He found Tao Yuan and asked eagerly: "Representative Tao, how is the situation?"

Tao Yuan looked sad: "You guys came back a step late, Lao Yang left ten minutes ago."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling as if all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant.

Yang Weimin is only in his 40s.

Yesterday we had a meeting together, chatted together, and had dinner together.

Who would have thought that after saying goodbye last night, we would be separated forever.

A person who treated me like a teacher and an elder was gone.

Jiang Chen couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it.

He only felt that the sounds around him became hollow and ethereal, and the crowd of people seemed to disappear.

The whole world has become an illusion.

Jiang Chen's body shook and he was about to fall.

Shangguan Wan'er behind her quickly stepped forward to support her: "Master, are you okay?"

Tao Yuan said: "He's fine. He's just too sad and a little out of breath. Just take it easy and he'll be fine."

"He and Lao Yang have feelings."

"I'm fine!" Jiang Chen quickly recovered and everything around him returned to normal.

He glanced around: "Isn't Liu Yue here?"

She is the second person in charge of the laboratory and Jiang Chen's wife. She should be here both in public and private matters.

Tao Yuan said: "Here she is, she will be in the ward with Lao Yang's family."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay!"

Tao Yuan said: "Would you like to go in and see Lao Yang?"

Jiang Chen said: "Later, it will leave time for his family."

"Director Yang, what's going on?"

Tao Yuan sighed: "He drank too much yesterday and his liver failed. Coupled with his long-term uncontrolled smoking and drinking, his internal organs have long been damaged. The hospital said there is no need for resuscitation."

"I just didn't expect that Lao Yang couldn't survive until you came back."
