Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

After a lot of deception and threats, the three brothers of the Yan family had no choice but to obey their father's orders. Yan Fugui nodded with satisfaction on his stern face. He was really afraid that these three naughty boys would not agree to it no matter what he said. Then, as a father, could he really collect accommodation fees from several underage children who had no ability to work? Although Yan Fugui was good at calculating, he was not yet so strict.

Yan Jiecheng thought for a while and said, "Dad, what are you doing? You have to go pick up those dead branches and leaves with us three brothers. We can't do it alone. You are the head of the family. You have to support your family and your children. Isn't it your duty as a father? If you don't raise our children, we certainly won't raise your old ones."

The second and third brothers of Yan felt that what their eldest brother said made sense. Raising a son was what they, as a father, should do. They could pick up those unwanted dead branches and leaves for the sake of their family, but what about them as a father? Was he just going to watch them like this? If that were the case, the three brothers would definitely not be willing to do so.

Yan Fugui snorted coldly, then yelled in anger, "I sent you to school all day long, but you didn't learn anything else and your grades didn't improve. And you've even gotten better at talking back to me. I'm going to beat you to death today to let you know how powerful I am."

The words of his boss just now made Yan Fugui, who had never been anxious, feel quite angry. He actually dared to say that. Although his boss was right and it was his responsibility to raise children, it was a big mistake to say it in front of him. Doesn't Yan Fugui have any face? Yan Fugui was very angry.

Yan Jiecheng saw that he had angered his father, so he quickly picked up his schoolbag and ran out of the house. Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang looked at their eldest brother running out, smiled awkwardly, and also picked up their schoolbags to go to school. Yan Fugui was naturally no match for a boy, and Yan Jiecheng disappeared as soon as he ran out. With a dark face, he cursed, "Little beast, if you have the guts, don't come back tonight, otherwise I will beat him to death."

Yang Ruihua sighed, picked up the worn cotton-padded jacket beside him and put it on his wife. Although he also resented his eldest son's wrong words, he was still his flesh and blood, so he should be helped. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, old man, don't be angry. Jie Cheng is still relatively young. When he grows up, he may be much better."

Yan Fugui snorted coldly and said, "You can tell a child's future from the age of three and his old age from the age of seven. This kid will not be a good person in the future. He dares to talk back to his father. Okay, you rest at home. I have to go to work quickly. If I don't go to work, I'm afraid I will be late." Yan Fugui also left with his tattered briefcase, and Yang Ruihua's repeated sighs could be heard from behind.

Seeing his wife busying around for their little family, Yang Ruihua felt very distressed. He shook his head helplessly, but he had no way to deal with this matter. In this era, men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. What can he, an uneducated old woman, do?

Yan Jiecheng's middle school is the nearby Red Star Middle School, which is the upper level of Red Star Primary School. Yan Jiecheng's academic performance in this class can be said to be relatively poor. Although his father is a teacher, he has no interest in studying at all. Instead, he is very interested in how to make money without any teacher.

Yu Li is dressed very beautifully today. Although she has no makeup on her face, a girl of fifteen or sixteen is the most beautiful. Although she is not as mature as a woman of twenty-five or twenty-six, the youthful aura of Yu Li attracts many boys. It can be said that in this class, Yu Li is the goddess of boys in adolescence.

In this era, things between men and women were quite closed, but love could not be stopped. The feudal literature was circulated between boys and girls. Some people would copy down the articles that the teachers did not allow them to read and appreciate them in private. Although the teachers knew about it, they could not stop them. They just let them go with the flow. They were young once and knew the thoughts between boys and girls.

Yan Jiecheng said hello to Yu Li, who just nodded as a formality and didn't say anything more. But just this nod would make Yan Jiecheng happy for the whole day. His best friend Zhang Daming hugged Yan Jiecheng and said with a smile, "Oh, Old Yan, you've taken a fancy to Yu Li. You really have high standards."

The boy's face turned red all of a sudden, Yan Jiecheng quickly shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do that." But the happiness in his eyes could not be hidden from others at all. The adolescent boys and girls were interested in each other, but there was a little resistance from the teacher, so they did not break through that layer of defense.

Zhang Daming smiled and shook his head. He felt that this boy was a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Yu Li was not only in their class, but also in their entire grade. She was very beautiful. If Yu Li's family was not relatively poor, he would definitely be able to get into high school.

Zhang Daming said to Yan Jiecheng, "I'm not kidding you. We're going to school tonight. Do you want to go out and play?" Yan Jiecheng shook his head. It's winter now. The weather is cold in winter. It's not like in the summer when you can go out after school to hunt some game. What's the point of going out in the winter? So he shook his head and wanted to refuse. It's better to stay at home wrapped in a blanket and lie down in the cold winter.

Zhang Daming said somewhat unhappily "Hey, you kid are too unsociable. If we were not brothers, I wouldn't want to call you kid. I told you, a nest of pheasants was found on the West Mountain, and we brothers want to catch the pheasants. If we can kill a pheasant, we can stew it into soup. It will be so delicious. Do you really not want to go?"

Hearing that there were pheasants to eat, Yan Jiecheng would definitely agree! He nodded and said with a smile, "Well, what should we use to fight? There are several of us, what can we use to fight?" A tall man came over, took out a slingshot from his pocket and said with a smile, "Of course we can use this thing. As long as we hit him on the head with a stone, we can have pheasants to eat."
